President General Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday told top army commanders that Pakistan would destroy any hideout used by militants it finds on its territory. Any hideout/sanctuary being used by terrorists/miscreants shall be knocked out wherever it is found, ISPR quoted the president as saying at the 100th Corps Commanders Conference at General Headquarters. The ISPR said the participants decided that the political process in FATA to control extremism and terrorism would continue, but we shall not allow any illegal cross border activity or any terrorist to take refuge in our area, which shall be dealt with by direct military action.

Hundreds of angry tribesmen protested on Tuesday against an air strike on a remote town in South Waziristan, saying the dead were all innocent labourers. Some 600 people gathered in Tank, blocked traffic and chanted slogans against President Pervez Musharraf and George W Bush. The attack was unjust, it killed innocent people, tribal leader Dilawar Khan told the rally. He insisted the victims were local labourers who were cutting trees when the raid was conducted. He said local tribes were abiding by the terms of a two-year-old peace accord, but the government had violated it to appease the US.

I can never understand why these "protests" don't attract a daisy-cutter when it represents a more target-rich environment than the air-strike which they are protesting.
A major tragedy was averted when sniffer dogs detected two powerful roadside bombs planted by suspected rebels near an Indian army headquarters in Indian-held Kashmir, an official said. The bombs were detected by our dog squad early today (Tuesday) near Sonawar and defused, army spokesman AK Mathur said.
The bombs were planted on a road close to the army headquarters in Srinagar, summer capital of Indian-held Kashmir, where a separatist revolt has been raging against New Delhis rule since 1989. The road is the major link between Srinagar and other southern towns, and had the bombs gone off they would have created havoc, Mathur said. We have averted a major tragedy.
Hundreds of civilian and military vehicles travel along the high-security road. The area also houses the regions main childrens hospital, several top banks, and government and private offices.

...Maulana Muhammad Ali Fazal of Jamia Masjid at Sector G-6/2...
"Well, an end to *some* faith between us. We'll leave the door just a tiny bit ajar, just in case. And a nightlight in the hall. Just don't let the infidels catch you, 'k?"
Four Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan are to be closed down and residents from two of them sent back to Afghanistan, Ambassador Mahmud Ali Durrrani told the Washington Times on Monday. He said the repatriation of refugees was part of the governments strategy to better control the 1,550-mile border Pakistan shares with Afghanistan. An agreement on the plan was reached on Sunday with national and local leaders in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Balochistan, Durrani told editors and reporters of the newspaper. We had seen some level of activity, (and so) we thought we need to strengthen our systems, he said. It is a porous border; it is a very difficult border.
The four refugee camps hold tens of thousands of the 3 million refugees in the country. Two would be closed around March and the other two later, said the ambassador, adding that arrangements would first be made to receive the refugees in Afghanistan.

Yet another UN subsidized terror base. There is no reason why a single refugee needs to be in Pakistan.
Indian police arrested 39 people in an anti-terror sweep ahead of a major national holiday, detaining landlords who had failed to register tenants with authorities, an official said Tuesday. The arrests over the past 24 hours were part of intensified anti-terrorist measures because of Republic Day, which falls on Jan 26 and marks the adoption of the countrys constitution in 1950, said New Delhi Police Spokesman Rajan Bhagat. Most of the arrests were in poor parts of eastern New Delhi, although others were detained elsewhere in the capital.
