| Six Jhangvi thugs iced in jailbreak... |

| Six suspected Islamic militants were killed Sunday in a fierce gunbattle with police, and four of the dead were suspects in a fatal attack on a Roman Catholic church last year, officials said. According to police chief in the city of Behawalpur in Punjab province, Sikandar Hayyat, police were traveling with four members of the outlawed extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi outside the city when they were fired on from a car. The attackers freed all four militants and wounded nine officers, but police pursued them and caught them near the town of Kherpur Tamewala, about 60 miles southeast of Multan. Six people were killed, including all four of the men who had been with the police. Two of the attackers escaped, said Hayyat. The four who had been in police custody were all suspects in last October's attack on St. Dominic's Church in Behawalpur during a Protestant service, in which 14 worshippers, their minister and a Muslim security guard were killed. Sounds like they did it just like in the movies, except that six of them were iced. I wonder if it was "convenient" that the four Bad Guys were among those decomposing? |
