Crackdown on Bad Guys continues in Pakland
Police arrested scores of suspected militants in Kashmir and sealed dozens more offices of Islamic extremists as part of President Pervez Musharraf's crackdown on terrorism. In the latest raids, police closed offices of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Mohammed in the capital of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir as well as several other cities and towns of the region. Authorities also closed down offices of the Harakatul Inqalab-e-Islami, a smaller militant group. In most major cities and towns of Pakistani Kashmir, banners, billboards and wall-chalking calling for jihad against India have been removed. More arrests were also reported in Punjab, Sindh and other parts of Pakistan.
A country always looks better after a thorough housecleaning, doesn't it?
