ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - A suicide bomber struck in the southern port city of Karachi on Friday, killing a prominent Shiite leader, his 10-year-old nephew and a guard, officials and local news media said.

The attack came about 4:30 p.m. near the house of the Shiite leader and scholar, Allama Hassan Turabi. He was seriously wounded and died in a hospital an hour later, said Allama Furqan Haider Abidi, a colleague of Turabi's. Two police guards also were wounded, officials said.

StratFor made a point yesterday about the hezzies adopting Israeli prowess (commando snatchings) but here we have the reverse situation, a suicide bomber taking out a bad guy! Was this an Israeli op or an Indian one? Ya know, if I was otherwise fit but had a terminal disease with 6 months to go ...

GOTCHA!! Don't mess with Israel.

Of course, a "suicide bomber" might not be aware that he's about to go boom. He-he-he!

Yeah, here is the recruitment spiel: "Now listen, in order to earn the $100,000, you must wear my special 'good luck' vest and get his autograph, signed personally in front of you, got it? Oh, and also, be sure your cellphone shows at least 2 bars worth of reception strength when you do it."

Here's the background skinny.....

The Jooos have tricked dozens of Jihadists into believing they represent Osama bin Laden - and identified a number of Islamonazis as "enemies of Islam", then promised the dumbass Jihadis 144 virgins instead of the normal 72 -- if they killed the target for "Osama"..

Losing your Garage Key is no laughing matter unless you have a Genie Automatic Electric Door Lifter Upper. In that case you are OK until the next lightning strike or power outage in your neighborhood. If that happens then you are back to your mirthful Garage Key.
