Two bombers arrested near Tarbela airbase
2009-09-07
Intelligence agencies claim to have arrested two men for allegedly planning to attack the PAF airbase at Tarbela. According to a private TV channel, the two men were carrying suicide jackets, a handgun and three hand grenades. The men, identified as Hafiz Abdul Razzaq and Abdul Majid, were residents of Karak in the NWFP. The suspects told investigators that 21-year-old Abdul Majid was to carry out a suicide attack, while 28-year-old Abdul Razzaq would provide cover fire. They said they had travelled from Bannu to Tarbela Ghazi on a motorcycle, where they were stopped at the Jharyan checkpost.
When d'you suppose the Pakistani Department of Education will consider thinking about possibly reducing emphasis on jihad in the primary and secondary curricula?

#1  Tarbela is one of five airbases in Pakistan that are suspected of hosting Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Security is a bit tighter at Tarbela than at other places. A successful penetration and suicide attack would have been an extreme black eye for Pakistan.
