#2 BS. The MQM is much stronger than Pak Talibanis. They are the second largest political party in Sindh, and they operate a militia. The MQM advocates banning Jamaat-i-Islami. The TTP has invited a bloodbath, and Punjabis will aid Sindhis as long as PPP and MPL groups are not targeted, as they have been in the past.

#3 I think it's the fact that MQM is the sworn enemy of JI that the threat's being made. I think of JI as Pak Taliban's "political wing."

#4 Yep, the JI invited OBL to their 1998 convention. He didn't come because he was busy ducking cruise missiles at the time.
