#1 Cheeze. Another dead mullah. And this one didn't have an enemy in the world, either.

That's prob'ly why they shot him.

#2 And this one didn't have an enemy in the world, either.

If this Zainuddin guy was a former Taliban commander, then he had a lot of enemies.

#3 He died on the spot and his assailants fled. Hospital sources said Zainuddin received eight bullet wounds.

Mph. Definitely NOT the work of fellow Talabani, who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

#4 If the Afghan spy agency is getting organized enough to conduct assassinations on Pakistani soil, then Karzai is more secure than anybody thinks he is.

#5 Hey, we have no emnity with yuz, business is business.
I can think of a dozen reasons for the hit: Failure as a jihadi mullah, not enough spittle at the sermon, etc. etc.. However, I am rooting for Zhang Fei's hypothesis.
