| ''Who ordered this outrage?'' |
| 2002-09-14 |
| The Sindh DIG (Operations) has served show-cause notices to the Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Civil Lines and his six subordinates, asking why they transgressed their limits and initiated an encounter against the alleged Al-Qaeda members without informing their superiors. The ASP led a team to Defence area on the instructions of officials of an intelligence agency without prior permission from their superiors, the sources said. When the encounter ended, the senior officials learnt that the suspects had fired only 10 bullets while the police spent 5,000 rounds. The notice also demands to know who ordered the firing. Sounds like Mahmoud the Weasel's cheesed that he didn't get a chance to tip the Bad Guys beforehand... |

| #4 After reading Pauls' comment, I'm sitting here in stitches! I've not seen the video, but it sounds hilarious!. What is it that's causing the Pakistanis to be so obliging? Whatever it is, more please! |

| #2 Didja see the video of the apartment building? Looked like a Swiss cheese, with the number of holes increasing the closer you got to the windows. And keep in mind that the 5000 round figure probably also includes all the AK mags that were fired off in victory celebration by the coppers. Fox had video of that, too... |

| #1 Wait a sec! 7 police firing 5000 rounds in an "encounter"? That's over 700 rounds apiece, or a couple of boxes of LMG or rifle ammo in all. You sure they didn't just sell it last week on the Black Market and have to come up with some excuse why it was missing? |
