| Temple snuffies were Paks... |

| Yet another from Steve... Indian investigators Friday said the two gunmen who killed 30 worshipers at a Hindu temple earlier this week were Pakistani nationals. The Press Trust of India quoted police sources as saying one of the men was identified as Mohammed Amjad Bhai of Lahore, Pakistan, and the other as Hafiz Yasir of Attock, near Islamabad. Cheeze, the Paks are stoopid. The couldn't even recruit a Palestinian or two, or some Afghans, not even Kashmiris... Police detained the driver and the owner of the car in that they said the militants drove up to the Swaminarayan temple in Gandhinagar town of western Gujarat state on Tuesday. The driver of the hired car, Raju, who was identified by one name, said the attackers had arrived in Ahmedabad city the same day by train and asked to go to the famous Swaminarayan temple. He said he didn't know he was carrying two gunmen in his car. So Raju's just a taxi driver. The car itself had no significance... Armed with AK-47s, the two men raided the temple packed with worshipers, killed 30 people and wounded 50 others. Indian commandoes killed the two attackers after a nightlong chase in the 25-acre temple complex. Where'd they have their guns during the ride to the temple from the train station, Raju? In their luggage? Indian Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishan Advani earlier hinted that Pakistan was behind the attack, a charge Islamabad denied. Pakistan condemned the attack. Then they claimed the Indos were behind their own attack, in Karachi... The attackers were carrying leaflets of "Tehrik-e-Kasas," or Movement for Revenge, an outfit formed to avenge the killings of more than 1,000 Muslims in religious clashes earlier this year. Jamaat ad-Dawa harps on the Gujarat violence continuously and stridently, trying to keep the yokels inflamed against the Heathen Hindoo. The Jamaat is to Lashkar e-Taiba as Sipah e-Sahaba is to Lashkar e-Jhangvi: the "legit" front organization for the Krazed Killer Korps. Of course, Jamaat ad-Dawa's not the only bunch screeching, of course, but they popped to mind first. |
