| 2012-03-10 |
| [Dawn] The Pakistain Taliban will attack government, police and military officials if three of the late al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden's ... who is currently taking a long nap in the dirt... urm... water... widows are not released from Pak custody, a front man for the thug group said on Friday. Pakistain's government has charged bin Laden's three widows with illegally entering and staying in the country, Interior Minister Rehman Malik Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. said on Thursday. "If the family of Osama bin Laden is not released as soon as possible, we will attack the judges, the lawyers and the security officials involved in their trial," Ehsanullah Ehsan of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) told Rooters. "We will carry out suicide kabooms against security forces and the government across the country." Malik did not specify which court was dealing with the case. The three women will have to stand trial, but it was not clear what punishment they face if convicted. Bin Laden was killed in a secret US raid in the northern Pak garrison town of Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... in May last year. The al Qaeda leader's body was flown out by American special forces, but his three wives and an undisclosed number of children were among the 16 people jugged by Pak authorities after the raid. Two of the wives are Saudi nationals, and one is from Yemen, according to the Pak foreign ministry. Pakistain had previously said that it would repatriate the women after a government commission probing the bin Laden raid had completed its questioning. The commission has interviewed the family members for clues about how the al-Qaeda chief managed to stay in the country undetected. The TTP vowed Dire Revenge™ after bin Laden's death last year, and carried out high-profile attacks across Pakistain. It bombed an American consulate convoy, laid siege to a naval base and killed paramilitary cadets. Formed in 2007, the TTP is an umbrella group of various Pak thug factions operating in Pakistain's unruly northwestern tribal areas along the mostly non-existent border with Afghanistan. TTP's front man also threatened attacks against Shad Begum, a women's rights activist based in the northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. The US State Department honoured Begum with the 2012 International Women of Courage award at a ceremony in Washington on Thursday. "She works for a secular and infidel system in Pakistain," Ehsan said. "That is why America has given her this prize." |

| #1 Threatening to attack isn't very threatening when they are already attacking in every way they can. |
