They have to keep the home-front boiling so they can launch attacks into Afghanistan. From the Daily Times of Pakistan:
PESHAWAR: Dozens of terrorists attacked a mosque and a police checkpoint in Peshawar, killing two anti-Taliban fighters, police said on Wednesday. In the first attack, 10 terrorists from Lashkar-e-Islam wearing the official tee-shirts raided a holy mosque on Tuesday in Adezai village, on the outskirts of Peshawar, killing two militiamen while they were praying. An hour later, about 100 insurgents from the group fired on a police post in Sarband village, on the western edge of Peshawar, leading to a 40-minute gunfight but no injuries were reported. The two sides exchanged fire for about an hour before the terrorists retreated to Khyber, said Liaquat Ali Khan, the Peshawar police chief. Several militants were killed, but there were no police casualties, he added. “They were Mangal Bagh’s people, I SAW the official tee-shirts with my OWN EYES!” Muhammad Karim Khan, a senior police official, told AFP. He said the group came from Khyber Agency before fleeing the scene of both attacks. Fahimuddin, head of the anti-Taliban militia in Adezai village, confirmed the attacks. agencies |
