Another Message to the Power elite
First, the blast in Model Town, Lahore, which HP claimed was near a FIA safe house, and now a blast in F-6 in Islamabad.
There was NO safe house for FIA or anyone else near Batalvi's house, so that was an incorrect argument. And we didn't have to wait long for another "message" to be delivered. This was at the Supermarket in F-6, at an upscale Italian Restaurant. Perhaps HP will no longer claim that there was a ISI safe house next door. There just isn't.
I think my conjecture about the "terror message" to the elite looks more and more plausible.
This blast was less than a 1,000 yards (as the crow flies) from our residence and the windows rattled a millisecond after the deafening BANG. This is a classical psychological warfare tactic.

Assadi miaN,
Go easy on the US elite! I personally think you should focus more on the skill you apparently excel at - the skill of eating alive that Mantolives character - for whom you seem to have developed a taste of sorts!
And feel free to expose the demagoguery of the Jinnah character, too!

Asadi,
It doesn't matter. In fact our friend Khalid Bhatti posts his articles on his blog, posts them later on Unplugged and finally published on Chowk. So lets hope for the best.
Best of Luck.

HAHAHA....perfect reply to pakiland's protests...

Afghanistan fires 4 more missiles at Pak village
By Ali Afzal Afzaal
PARACHINAR: Four more missiles fired from Afghanistan fell on the border village of Boraki in Kurram Agency on Friday evening, a day after a strong protest was lodged with the US-led coalition forces over the attack on a Pakistani village that had killed four persons.
Official sources said the missiles fell near a checkpoint manned by the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC). The troops, however, remained safe as none of the missiles exploded. A senior official of the political administration, while requesting anonymity, told The News that the missiles were fired from the neighbouring Paktia province of Afghanistan. He said they did not know who was the target of these missiles.
"We have informed senior government functionaries of the firing of missiles from across the border," said the official. He said the missiles fell about 500 meters inside Pakistani territory and frightened the soldiers and residents of the adjoining villages.
The official said senior military officials based in Parachinar, the regional headquarters of Kurram Agency, also visited the border village and took the missiles into possession. Top military spokesman and DG ISPR Maj Gen Athar Abbas, when reached by telephone, told The News he, too, had received similar reports but the local military officials in the area could not confirm the same. "It cannot be confirmed whether these were missiles or mortar shells and also there were no details about reports that these missiles were fired from across the border," explained the DG ISPR. He said the attack didn't cause any casualty.
It may be mentioned here that four people, including two minor girls and two women, were killed in North Waziristan Agency a few days back when five artillery shells fired from across the border by the US-led coalition forces hit a home in the border town of Lawara Mandai. The government for the first time admitted foreign aggression and lodged a strong protest with the military representatives of the coalition forces based in Islamabad.

yoo hoo prophetboy...

Splinter militant groups behind blasts: Investigators
SHAIQ HUSSAIN
ISLAMABAD - Investigations into the recently carried out suicide attacks, including one at the Lahore office of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in which nearly 30 people were killed, disclosed that 10 to 12 splinter militant groups are involved in the blasts.
Background interviews with the officials, linked with the probe into the recent spate of deadly suicide blasts, revealed the involvement of small groups of militants who left their paternal Jihadi organisations such as Lashkar-i-Taiba and others.
“The major Jihadi outfits do differ with Pakistan’s policy to support the United States in anti-terrorism endeavours but they are also against inflicting loss to the country’s security forces,” said an official here requesting anonymity.
The problem, he said, lies with the splinter militant organisations operating outside the ambit of major Jihadi organisations.
Another official, when contacted, said that currently it is being investigated whether those small militant groups, comprising not more than 20 persons each, are carrying out the suicide attacks on their own or are being used by Al-Qaeda.

tahmed writes "deposed Chief Justice of Pakistan..."
A big fraud whose leash was loosened by the Army to put the pressure on Musharraf to give up his wardi, otherwise he would have done their thuggery till death "did him part" from them.... The fool has come to enjoy his celebrity and now as the army's "used goods" disposal is being arranged. Once again the people and their "arrangements" are secondary to these thugs, CJ included.

tahmed,
There will NEVER be democracy in ANY Muslim-majority country. Never. It goes against the grain of Islam, which is a socio-political ideology that mo used to create his empire.
You will live long enough to verify this many times over. No point cursing me. It's actually true. Sorry.

Chief Justice Zindabad!!
Deposed CJ rejects monetary, other benefits from govt
ISLAMABAD: The deposed Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhery has rejected government’s offer of huge sum of money and foreign settlement here on Friday.
According to family sources of the deposed Chief Justice, a high profile representative of government met Justice Iftikhar Chaudhery at Chief Justice House in Islamabad few hours ago.
The representative said the money would secure the future of CJ’s children and he could be settled in any country of his choice, claimed Justice Iftikhar’s family sources.
The Chief Justice, however, once again turned down the offer.
http://thenews.jang.com.pk/updates.asp?id=40375
No wonder even the scum "elite" of Pakistan - power hungry politicians, loan defaulters, hypocritical men in beards, retired lawless generals - have joined the great Awam of Pakistani in saluting this man and rising above their miserable selves to think of the nation and future generations.
No wonder the entire nation has been energized by this man to turn ex-bully in uniform, the hosni-mubarak wannabe, turn into a whiny little man still seeking to keep his job even if only as a useful idiot. In trying to bribe the Chief Justice, Mush and his lotas show just how brain-dead and desperate and mindless of the national interest these scoundrels are!!

Pakistan protests four deaths by NATO artillery fire

Islamabad (dpa) - Pakistan lodged a "strong protest" with the US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan after one of their artillery shells killed four people on the Pakistani side of a remote border region, an army spokesman said Thursday.
Wednesday's attack sparked a protest by around 2,500 angry tribesmen in Khar town of the neighbouring tribal district of Bajaur.
The demonstrators chanted slogans like "Death to American" and "Death to Musharraf," and set ablaze an American flag.
"This is not the first American attack in tribal areas. They carry out at least one such attack in every 15 to 20 days," a member of parliament from the tribal district, Kamran Khan, told the rally. "We condemn the killings of innocent people."
