| Punjab govt. to soon start operation against Al-Qaeda, fundos |
| 2003-01-22 |
| LAHORE: The Punjab government has decided to conduct a grand operation against the suspected members of Al-Qaeda and the banned religious organizations. Reliable sources disclosed that there are reports about suspected members of these organizations involved in terrorist activities are hiding in Faisalabad, Multan, Rahim Yar Khan, Jhan and other parts of the Punjab province. The country's agencies including police have prepared the lists of the suspected people and sent them to the four provinces for launching the operation against anti-social elements. The operation against the suspected terrorists is expected to be started in the first week of February. Punjab and Sindh might try to do something. I'd guess that the dwindling minority of non-lunar Pakistanis is getting tired of life with the fundos by now. I'd also guess that their numbers have dwindled too much for them to take the country back from the Pashtuns and Baluchs. President General Pervez Musharraf during his last year's address had banned certain religious organizations involved in terrorist activities. The announcement was widely appreciated by the public. The security agencies have arrested several members of the defunct religious organizations and Al-Qaeda from Karachi, Multan, Faisalabad and other areas of the country allegedly involved in terrorist activities. Meanwhile, the killer fundos have continued their policies of murdering people right and left. I guess things could have gotten worse if they hadn't been banned, but it's hard to see how. |

| #1 "The operation against the suspected terrorists is expected to be started in the first week of February." 1) Have to make room on my calendar... first week of February's already pretty full. 2) Mebbe they're planning on waiting for the fundos to come out in protest of the Iraq invasion, then SNATCH. |
