| Indian police arrest Pakistanis out to kidnap Rahul Gandhi |
| 2007-11-16 |
| Police in India's Uttar Pradesh state say they have arrested three suspected members of a banned Pakistan-based militant group. The men belonged to the Jaish-e-Mohammed group and were planning to kidnap a "very important political person", the police said. Local reports suggested the target could have been Rahul Gandhi, son of Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi. Police said the arrested men were all Pakistanis. The chief of Uttar Pradesh police Vikram Singh said the three men were arrested on the outskirts of the state capital, Lucknow. He said the men were travelling from Delhi in a car. Mr Singh said militants planned to kidnap a "very important person" in exchange for 42 militants lodged in various Indian prisons. Ammunition, rifles, grenades and explosives were seized from the men, he said. |

| #3 If they don't, it's time for Pakistan to cease to exist. It's a wonder that Pakistan even exists as of now. Their ceaseless provocation of India—especially with the Parliament terror attack—should have gotten them glassed over a long time ago. It is no coincidence that Pakistan—as "The Land of the [Islamically] Pure"—should exhibit, just like Islam itself, absolutely no redeeming features. One is merely a logical extension of the other. |

| #2 #1 Its about time India retaliated as Pakistan always start the trouble!!!! Wait and see how the Pak army does against the Taliban. If they're thoroughly tied up fighting the Taliban, they can't defend their border with India. We also want to wait and see if they actually DO anything against the Pustuns in the Tribal Areas. If they don't, it's time for Pakistan to cease to exist. |
