#2 "Small groups of extremist Shiites and Sunnis frequently attack each other" We have simply GOT to get this system going over here. I can't believe we are clinging to the outmoded rule of law, when there is clearly a Better Way. Please keep killing for Allah, the Almighty, who can't seem to kill enough on His own. |

#1 here it is on AP: Gunmen Kill at Least 11 Pakistani Cops QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) - Two gunmen on motorcycles sprayed a group of policemen with machine-gun fire in this Pakistani town near the Afghan border on Sunday, killing at least 11 officers and wounding 9, police said. The shooting occurred on Saryab road, Quetta's main thoroughfare, said Rehmatullah Khan Niazi, police senior superintendent in the town in Pakistan's southwest. The policemen were riding in a pickup truck on their way to a training school when the gunmen opened fire. Police would not speculate on the motives for the attack. However, many of the victims were members of the Hazara ethnic group, who are mainly Shiite Muslims. Pakistan's population is 80 percent Sunni Muslim, the majority sect in Islam. Small groups of extremist Shiites and Sunnis frequently attack each other. |
