| Federal Political Affairs Minister Amir Muqam said on Wednesday he escaped a suicide attack, while a suspected bomber made good his escape. “I heard the police fire as soon as I finished my speech which I was delivering at a reception in Hazaar Khwani, a few kilometres from Peshawar,” the federal minister told Daily Times. Muqam said police officials told him an unidentified person wearing a chadar was attempting to proceed towards the stage. He said the police officials stopped him from going ahead and asked him for a search, which he refused and started moving back. The police fired at him as they suspected he was a suicide bomber, Muqam said. However, the suspected person remained unhurt and made good his escape. He said if the MMA leadership was sincere in halting suicide attacks, they should convince madrassas students that one did not go to heaven by suicide attacks. When contacted, Religious Affairs Minister Maulana Amanullah Haqqani said he was not aware of such a suicide attack. |

| #2 All of this will be a thing of the past when the RATs take the keys to the White Housein 2009. It's all George W. Bush's fault for being too tough on the jihadis and not reaching out. |
