| Egyptian police hunt six Pakistanis |
| 2005-07-25 |
| Egyptian police are searching for six Pakistani men who were in Sharm el-Sheik during the attacks that killed 88 people and have since disappeared. Police announced that they have also found the remains of what they believe may be a Pakistani man at the Ghazla Gardens Hotel, where a suicide car bomb attack was carried out early on Saturday. The photographs of six missing Pakistani men who were staying at a Sharm hotel and had left their passports at the reception have been circulated at checkpoints in the southern Sinai Peninsula resort city. |

| #5 I don't think the Beeb have realised that 'tribal' can have negative connotations as yet. Expect the tribal areas to be renamed 'regions of indigenous population' or some sort of madness. Interesting observation John. I think bot the Blair and Mubarak are about to hear that old chestnut again. Time for Perv to put the Pakistani house in order. |

| #4 Pakiland - No Problem. It's all quite tribal actually. A traditional disorganized society that honours age old violent cultural/character faults. |

| #3 Some years ago when Nawaz Sharif was PM of Pakistan, he had a meeting with Egyptian President Mubarak. Mubarak presented him with intelligence on the terror camps where egyptian jihadists were being trained and demanded that he close them down. He made the normal Pak excuse, "that area is tribal and not really under our control". Mubarak was quite angry. He wanted to know how it was possible that Pakistan could not control what was going on in its own territory. Exasperated, he asked "What is the problem? Do you want me to send the Egyptian army to do the job?" |

| #2 Not much chance of that Howard. The only reason Perv has survived so far is that the ISI itself hasn't tried to kill himm, only jihadi boyz (likely at the behest of the ISI). |

| #1 Time for Perv to risk it all in an out and out assault on the ISI bad boyz. Would stand a good chance of turning up Uncle Osama as well. |
