| Two Pakistani Women Killed Over Cookies |
| 2003-08-10 |
| A fight over a box of cookies killed two women and injured seven others in a remote area of northwestern Pakistan, police said Friday. The fight broke out Thursday in the small village of Bafa Maira, 160 miles north of Peshawar after a teenage boy snatched a box of cookies from a young girl, said police officer Fiaz Khan, who did not know their exact ages. The girl ran home crying and complained to her older brother, who went out to fight the boy. The boy later returned armed and accompanied by two friends who stormed into the girl’s house and opened fire, killing the girl’s mother and grandmother. Seven other relatives were injured and taken to a hospital, where one woman was in serious condition, Khan said. Police are searching for the boy and his friends. The three have been charged with murder, Khan said. |

| #5 This takes "losing your cookies" to a new level. Hmmmm.....I think that there are other issues. No connection in the brain between emotion and judgement. Neural pathway desert here. |
