| Al Qaida Plan To Strike Pakistani Authorities |
| 2002-08-24 |
| Al Qaeda forces have reportedly completed their planning for a terrorist attack against the Pakistani authorities, on the instructions of Osama Bin Laden. Writing from the Great Beyond... An official Pakistani government communiqué sent to the four provincial home secretaries says, "It has been reported that Osama plans to conduct a terrorist operation against the Pakistani authorities in retaliation for the arrest of Al Qaeda members." Official sources told Daily Times that Osama has also instructed all Al Qaeda members and their families to leave Pakistan immediately. They said the intelligence agencies had unearthed the plan and informed the federal government that these underground Al Qaeda elements might target higher functionaries of the present government in the federal and provincial capitals. So they expect to cheese the Paks enough that they'll come into the tribal areas and kill them all: men, women, children, and their dogs. Or do they have a bioweapon that'll kill everybody in sight, and they don't want to be in sight when it happens? Sources said that in light of the intelligence agencies' report, the provincial governments and the district administration of the federal capital have been directed to enhance security around all persons associated with the military government. Sources added that the official communiqué also revealed that the Al Qaeda operatives are currently in safe houses in the tribal area. We knew that. Usually the Paks deny it, publicly anyway. I guess it'd make sense that they'd be admitting it internally, if only for purposes of self-preservation. |
