| 55 Afghan trained boys might be used for terror acts |
| 2010-05-22 |
| LAHORE: The Punjab Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has revealed in a report on Friday that 55 Afghan-trained boys (ATBs) from southern Punjab, who disappeared from their houses sometime ago, are likely to be used in terrorist activities. The copies of the CID's report have been forwarded to the regional and district police officers in Bahawalpur, Bahawal Nagar and Rahim Yar Khan. The authorities issued the warning after they rechecked a list of Afghan-trained boys who participated in jihad in the past. Law enforcement agencies have directed regional police to trace the 55 missing people at the earliest. |

| #2 Seems to me that they might put a stop to this if they outlawed polygamy. If the longbeards decide that there are just too many men and they can't have their two, three, or four wives, then it might be in their interest to do things that result in a depletion of the male population in order to provide an ample supply of eligible females. It would be awfully hard for these guys to amass their stables of women if the population were more equally divided. That, combined with the culture that makes it nearly impossible for a single woman to survive on her own, would give an incentive to foment violence that results in lots of young men being killed. |
