| Investigators in Pakistan suspect that members of Jaish-e-Mohammed were involved in recent attacks against Christians, police and Interior Ministry officials said Sunday. Suicide squads from outlawed extremist groups are planning more attacks on important Pakistani officials, foreigners and Christians to destabilize Pervez Musharraf's government because of its ongoing support for the U.S. war against terrorism, the officials added. No suprise there. We've been saying that for some time... "We are convinced that associates of Jaish-e-Mohammed... were behind the grenade attack on worshipers at a church on the grounds of a Presbyterian hospital in Taxila on Aug. 9," a security official said on condition of anonymity. Four Pakistani nurses and one of the attackers were killed in the attack. The dead assailant, killed by a piece of shrapnel from a grenade, has been identified as Kamran Mir. Police said he belongs to Jaish-e-Mohammed. In the last few days, police have rounded up more than 50 suspected supporters of Islamic militants from different parts of the country. Anti-terrorism experts were questioning them, an Interior Ministry official said. The official said some militants have disclosed that there will be more deadly attacks on Westerners if British-born militant Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh is executed. And such things will continue until he's got a three foot neck. Once he's safely dead, there will be a spate of "revenge" atrocities, 'cause that's the Way of Islam, and eventually they'll die down. They won't stop, they won't ever stop, because each time the perps are rounded in the latest revenge atrocity, there'll be more revenge to be had... |
