'Indian hand can't be ruled out' in ISI kaboom
2009-05-28
It's like clockwork, isn't it?
Indian involvement in the suicide attack in Lahore on Wednesday cannot be ruled out, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said.
They've never done such a thing that we're aware of, they don't use suicide boomers, and the Talib-AQ nexus is Pakistain is much the more likely suspect, but they can't be ruled out.
Visiting the blast site, Sanaullah said the attack was being thoroughly investigated to trace the mastermind.
Lex Luthor? Professor Moriarty? Fu Manchu?
I suspect it was Magneto, or those sneaky Joooos!
Meanwhile, Punjab Excise and Taxation Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman -- on behalf of CM -- said "such terror activities should not be politicised", and called on the nation to unite against "anti-state elements".
Why should they not be politicized, when they're political acts?

#7  I don't think it was Navajos. When they wear turbans they resemble the locals superficially, but their beards aren't nearly bushy enough.

#4  From the Opinion piece by Khalid Aziz (Former Secretary of the NWFP)

It may be noted that in 2005 there was no insurgent movement of the type witnessed in Swat and Buner and elsewhere. It all happened after the occurrence of the October 2005 Earthquake in Balakot and Azad Kashmir. The camps where jihadis used to receive training for fighting against Indian forces in Kashmir had to be sequestered from the prying eyes of US and NATO troops who were using helicopters for delivery of relief to NWFP and Azad Kashmir and were clearly aware of the presence of such camps.

Many of these camps were shifted and relocated in Swat and the Dir mountains.

#2  Lex Luthor? Professor Moriarty? Fu Manchu?

My money is on Fu Manchu. He was insidious, after all. And speaking of Indians, there is nothing to rule out the Navajo, either.
