#1 The article notes that a Pak TV station was attacked after broadcasting an interview with Shimon Peres...here are some details:
Islamic extremists ransacked the offices of a private Pakistani television channel the day after it broadcast an interview with the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister. Police said around 40 men armed with sticks, some of them carrying pistols, barged into the building which also houses the mass circulation daily Jang and the English-language newspaper The News. During the attack, which occured around 2:20 am local time , the men smashed window panes, broke the furniture and torched newspapers' files, witnesses said. Police conveniently arrived at the scene after the mob had fled and no arrests were made. "The attackers were joined by overpowered private security guards and went to the first floor of the multi-storey building where they broke windowpanes and furniture," said police officer Mushtaq Shah. "Outside the building they damaged seven cars owned by the newspaper and TV staffers," he said. Islamist parties in overwhelmingly Muslim Pakistan have frequently warned the government against establishing any contacts with the Jewish state. |
