| Suicide bombers may hit Islamabad markets |
| 2007-09-08 |
| Intelligence agencies have warned the Interior Ministry that three suicide bombers have entered Islamabad to target the capitalÂ’s two busiest commercial centres, Jinnah Super and Super Market, in the next few days, sources told Daily Times on Friday. The sources said that the suicide bombers were linked to tribal militant Baitullah Mehsud, who is in the headlines these days for holding 240 troops including seven officers hostage in South Waziristan. They added that the Islamabad police had deployed special squads in and around Jinnah Super and Super Market following the warning. Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in RawalpindiÂ’s cantonment area close to the General Headquarters (GHQ) on September 5, killing over 25 persons. |

| #1 I do not even find it sad that Pakistan's people require bombings in their most crowded marketplaces to finally realize the wages of their collective sins. Were homicide bombing confined strictly to Muslim-on-Muslim violence I would almost have to commend Yusuf Qaradawi for sanctifying it. Only when a death fatwa is issued for Qaradawi will we know that Islam finally has come to its senses. I would not bet a plugged nickel that Islam even makes it that far. |
