#1 Pakistani military spokesman Major-General Shaukat Sultan said up to 14 people had been killed in several blasts in the Bajaur tribal region but said he did not know the cause.

Allan's not happy.

#5 ''It appears the Americans suspected some foreigners or wanted people were hiding in these houses. But there have never been foreigners in this area before.''

NEVER? Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ahhhhh ha hah ahaha hah hah ha ha ha ha!

Really? Those Soddies passing through? How about the Sudanese and Yemenis? And never is a long time oh bearded tribal spokes-ass. Didn't Alexander The Great pass through the neighborhood a while back?

#7 It seems that the offical claiming this happend was Sahibzada Haroon ur Rashid while the Pakistani administration, military, the Afghan government and the US military are all saying that do not know what happened. So one wonders are the Time article title. When some one says 'Pakistan claims' I usally assume this means the Pakistani government not a single legislature whose family seems to have been the worst victim of the explosion.

#8 I think this missle strike is the same missle strike talked about above in the post suggesting the USAF may have gotten Zawahiri.

#9 What makes this suspicious, if it isn't the Zawahiri strike, is that only 18 died. We can do better than that.

#10 that was caused by the evil Jinns

I have been slammed a couple times by some evil Gin myself. Praise be to Allan that no baby ducks or bunnies were hurt in this terrible incident.
