Freed jihadis put Pakistan's war on terror 'back to square one', say senior officers
2006-12-31
Yeah, that's the ISI / PakiWaki Way. The We're Doomed! aspect doesn't actually help do anything, except sell papers, though.
Anti-terrorism forces in Pakistan have been told to brace themselves for a wave of atrocities. Intelligence officials warned that the security situation is now more precarious than it was before the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

Senior officers say they are "back to square one" in their fight against international terrorist groups after the release of dozens of militants by Pakistani courts. High-ranking police officials say that as many as 80 hard-core militants are on the loose after being cleared by the courts or released on bail.
Yep, that's distinctly "unhelpful". The lesson they've learned is that their ISI Masters will see to it they don't pay the price. The lesson we can draw is that OP's patented Grid Pattern makes perfect sense.
They are believed to have been involved in crimes including the attempted assassination of President Pervez Musharraf and a suicide attack on the American consulate in Karachi.

A memo sent by Pakistan's interior ministry to law enforcement agencies around the country warns of a plot to use suicide bombers to target Britons and Americans, including diplomats, in a coordinated campaign involving some of the country's most notorious terrorist groups. The ministry warned that the bombers were also believed to be looking at high-profile individuals and military installations as potential targets.

#2  Unfortunately, the message the courts are sending is that arresting them is a waste of time. My guess is that in the future, more of these people will be killed "resisting arrest" or while attempting to "flee".

#1  If we get hit again Pakistan needs to yield a warm glow for a few hundred years, the Magic Kingdom needs to lose most of it population and all it's oil along with that since they are paying the freight for all this from the get go.
