"Bomb blast kills 29 at mosque in Pakistan" by Associated Press | February 19, 2010
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Two Pakistani intelligence officials said a suspected US missile strike on a house in North Waziristan tribal area killed three people. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to give information to the media....
Also yesterday, a bomb blast at a mosque in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal belt killed 29 people including some militants yesterday, underscoring the relentless security threat here even as Pakistani-US cooperation against extremism appears on the upswing.
And CUI BONO, huh?
I smell FALSE FLAG, folks!
The attack in Khyber tribal region came as US special envoy Richard Holbrooke met with Pakistani leaders in Islamabad, the capital. It also followed revelations that Pakistani authorities have been picking up Afghan Taliban leaders on their soil, and as the US staged its latest missile strike in Pakistan’s northwest.
The bomb explosion tore through a mosque in the Aka Khel area of Khyber, killing at least 29 people and wounding some 50 others, a local official, Jawed Khan, said. Officials were still investigating whether the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber or a planted device....
Either way, it is always the SAME GROUP behind it all!!
And why not MURDER an INNOCENT MAN and a GOOD FATHER, huh?
"Suspected US strike kills militant’s brother; Missiles hit car in remote area of Pakistan" by Haq Nawaz Khan and Karin Brulliard, Washington Post | February 20, 2010
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A suspected US drone strike in Pakistan’s remote border region killed the brother of a ruthless Afghan Taliban leader whose fighters pose one of the biggest threats to international forces in Afghanistan, Pakistani officials said yesterday.
The officials said two missiles pounded a car in a North Waziristan tribal district on Thursday and killed Mohammed Haqqani, the brother of feared militant commander Sirajuddin Haqqani....
Ah, yes, the Haqqani network:
"Haqqani.... credited with introducing suicide bombing to the region.... cultivated as a "unilateral" asset of the CIA and received tens of thousands of dollars in cash for his work.... He may have had a role in expediting the escape of Osama Bin Laden.... In July 2008, CIA officials confronted Pakistan officials with evidence of ties between Inter-Services Intelligence and Haqqani. Haqqani has been accused of involvement in the 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul...."
Isn't that something, readers?
I guess they would know where to find them, huh?
The network was founded by the brothers’ father, aging Afghan militant leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, who fought Soviet troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
Yes, America, the "TERRORIST" is IN YOUR EMPLOY!
Good way to KEEP WARS going and ENEMIES ALIVE (even as we murder them over lies, huh)?
Mohammed Haqqani was not a warrior, and an official in a nearby village said he was considered less brutal than his brother.
Uh-oh.
The official said the drone strike also killed four foreign militants, a word generally used in the region to refer to fighters from Arab countries.
Sirajuddin Haqqani oversees a corps of thousands of fighters from his base in North Waziristan and is thought to shelter Al Qaeda fighters.
Make that a CIA BASE, will you?
His network has long been viewed as an asset by elements of Pakistan’s security forces, which believe it could serve as a valuable counter to India’s influence in Afghanistan after American troops leave.
Yeah, except WE ARE NOT LEAVING!
And you see the agenda being pushed right in front of your eyes!
Pakistan’s army has resisted US pressure to crack down on Haqqani, saying its forces are overstretched and must focus on militant groups that attack inside Pakistan. US officials have responded with an increase in missile strikes by unmanned CIA aircraft in Pakistan’s tribal areas.
A strike on the Haqqani compound last year killed other family members, but not the leadership.
Hmmmmmmmmm!!!
On Thursday, the missiles struck in Dande Darpakhel, a village considered the network’s stronghold. Mohammed Haqqani was “responsible for looking after his family’’ but not doing battle, the local official said.
Then he was an INNOCENT MAN who was MURDERED!
Drone missile strikes have killed prominent Pakistani Taliban leaders in the tribal areas....
And yet they just keep getting stronger.
--more--"
More missile murder:
By Pakistan's army this time!
"Army says airstrike kills 30 Pakistani militants; Suicide attackers hit police stations" by Riaz Khan, Associated Press | February 21, 2010
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A Pakistani army airstrike killed 30 militants in a northwest tribal area bordering Afghanistan yesterday, while suicide attackers struck two police stations elsewhere in the troubled region, killing a police chief, authorities said....
Two people stormed a police station about 15 miles away in the town of Balakot, prompting a shootout that left one attacker dead. Two officers were wounded, while the second attacker fled.
Islamist militants in Pakistan frequently attack the country’s security forces, and are also suspected of being involved in attacks on NATO and US troops across the border in Afghanistan.
However, such assaults are relatively rare in Mansehra, about 90 miles northwest of the capital, Islamabad.
El STINKO, and it smells like Blackwater!
Pakistan dismantled militant training facilities there after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States....
Quit waving around that bloody shirt of a lie, MSM.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - [A] suspected US missile strikes... four killed yesterday
Hey, Obomber, there is blood on your hands.
