Pakistan searching for 2 boomer babes
2004-07-04
PAKISTAN police were placed on a high security alert today and searching for two suicide-bomber sisters out to launch strikes on government targets, police said. Police launched a huge hunt in the city for the two sisters aged between 18 and 20 years, following the disclosure by an arrested sectarian militant that they have been trained for suicide missions, police chief Tariq Jamil told AFP. "There is high alert in the city due to July 4 (US Independence Day), and though there is no specific threat we have been alerted by a militant, Gul Hasan, during interrogation that two of his cousins trained as suicide bombers will strike any day," he said. Security agencies have raided places in the outskirts of Karachi searching the two sisters, but so far have found no trace of them.

Police and paramilitary rangers have been deployed throughout the city while the US consulate, diplomatic enclave, western missions, foreign fast-food restaurants and sensitive government sites are tightly guarded, Mr Jamil said. Mr Jamil confirmed that the US consul general residence’s official July 4 function has been postponed. "The consulate officials have postponed the function on their own but we have no reports of any specific threat nor they have informed us," he said. A rocket exploded last week but caused no casualties, while another rocket and its launcher were found near the US consulate. Gul Hasan, of the banned Sunni Muslim extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was arrested in connection with the two suicide bomb attacks on a Shiite mosque in May in 50 people were killed. Mr Hasan told investigators that he had motivated his two female cousins to become suicide bombers. "My senior members will give them the target, which could either be a Shiite religious gathering of women, any police station or any official ceremony," Mr Hasan was quoted as telling his interrogators. "We have contacted their parents, who have confirmed that their daughters have been missing for the past five or six days, saying they were going on a noble cause," Mr Jamil said.

#7  Tony (UK) - Oh boy - you've asked the toughest question possible for someone who does this as a hobby - and has about 15,000 images that struck my fancy. How the hell does one remember all of them? Lol!

First place to go is Curmudgeonly & Skeptical, Terpsboy is the master. Of masters.

Then Fark and look for the Photoshop entries - click on number of posts on right side to see what's been offered up by the left-of-Trotsky crowd at Fark. They're good with Photoshop, but most have the politics of a twit.

Then mosey over to Worth1000 (a pic is worth 1000 words...) - there are more images there than you can believe. They have ongoing Photoshop contests - for money, but you can tell it's more for fun and honor than anything. Overlap with the Fark crowd. You can even put up some money ($25, $50), specify the theme, and stage your own contest - I've Done it!

There are more sites like these, but I've lost a ton of links recently due to rebuilding my machine from scratch - and I mean scratch. I'm rebuilding my links lists now - and will periodically save offline, lol! But I'll have to run across them as they come up.

You'd be amazed by what you can find with old Google / Images, too. TURN OFF the Safe Search filter (req's cookies enabled) or it will remove anything like what you see above, heh.

I hope this helps a little. Anytime you find a site with anything good - check to see if they link to other sites. That's the way to build up a list, cuz they almost always do...

I have a higher-res of the above and I'll get it online and leave you a post on this article later when it's available, if you want it. It will only be up today, though. Limited space, heh.
