....there you have it...the Z man was behind the curtain.
staged crisis to justify them jihading on Musharraf.
Diplomats were surprised by the speed with which the fugitive Zawahiri condemned the raid and called on Pakistanis to rise up against Musharraf.

Interesting,,,Maybe they are getting too close to him...
Yep...
My, my. I’ll be watching for this fellow Maulana Fazlullah to turn toes-up in the near future. I’m guessing that we’re doing well enough in Afghanistan to force some of the action south, and Musharraf seems to be willing to force it north. Gonna be a hot summer.
If Z-man can send such near-real time messages to a gang that was publicly provoking Musharraf from a place less than a mile from ISI HQ, then what does this tell us? At the very least, we should seek the handover of all ISI fellas “handling” the Ghazi brothers.
troops sent to Swat Valley 8-?
Damn, just damn... and Good huntin’!
More dead terrorists.
Here is the full story including what the Times left out
Oh and Bill....watch for this name..
Faqir Mohammed
He is the protector of Ayman Zawahiri.. he resides in Bajaur.
The former head of ISI Hamid Gul was and still is a dyed in the wool Islamist and advocate of disrupting Afghanistan, by backing the Taliban among other methods, as part of the broader campaign against India.
“Hamid Gul, a former head of Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service”
Would you put your life in the hands of a Pakistani ISI of any rank? lol (snort....snicker, lol) :)
Many thanks. Faqir Mohammed is going to be easy enough to remember. It’s starting to look like some of the tribes are getting a little testy with al Qaeda up there as well. Nasty terrain. A very interesting little tactical challenge...

Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister and opposition leader expected by many to return from exile and join Musharraf in a power-sharing deal after year-end general elections, praised him for taking a tough line on the Red Mosque.
“I’m glad there was no cease-fire with the militants in the mosque because cease-fires simply embolden the militants,” she told Britain’s Sky TV on Tuesday. “There will be a backlash, but at some time we have to stop appeasing the militants.”
Pakistan’s mainstream, liberal newspapers also backed the assault, although ordinary citizens appeared less enthusiastic.
Several people interviewed by The Associated Press sympathized with some of the clerics’ professed goals, especially closing down alleged brothels in Pakistan’s relatively Westernized capital.
But they also criticized the mosque leaders’ increasingly aggressive anti-vice campaign, which included kidnapping alleged Chinese prostitutes, and their stockpiling of weapons and ammunition at the holy site and an adjoining madrassa, or religious school, for girls...
Hey there,,,LOL,,,not this week,,,just a guess,,,
The “pucker-factor” for Zawahiri must be at 9.5 about now;0)
“Bin Laden’s deputy behind the Red Mosque bloodbath”
could be.........but it is for certain that ISLAM is behind it......and it is also certain that ISLAM is so twisted that it kills even muslims without hesitation to further its malignant aspirations.
ISLAM demands extermination by the civilized world. After 1400 years, you’d think that we will accommodate them.
There is a definite possibility of the Taliban and al Quaeda getting control of Pakistan.
Lest we forget, they don’t need to develop nukes. They already have them.
This could make Iran look easy by comparison.
Wonder what Pakistani Press is printing in comparison. The same? What would you do (LMAO)? Run, hide, stay...lololololololol. He’s getting screwed with mentally right now either way, and I love it :))
