| 2007-01-04 |
| A couple were burnt alive in a village in front of their children, a good 10 years after their marriage, police said on Wednesday. The attack on Zahoor Ahmed and his wife Naseem took place in front of their four children in Chak Saboo village on Tuesday, on charges that Ahmed had allegedly kidnapped Naseem 10 years ago to marry her, police said. |

| #2 Interesting that they burned alive the "kidnapper" and the "kidnapped". It doesn't say but I'd bet she was raped first because she lived in dishonor with her kidnapper for a decade raising a family and all. At least that is how it usually happens in the world of Islamic-influenced tribal justice. |

| #1 Note that Karachi is in Pakistan. I'll bet this wasn't a Hindu thing. |
