FARIDKOT, Pakistan — For the past three days Pakistani intelligence agents and police have been combing this sleepy village in search of clues to the identity of the lone gunman captured in the Mumbai terror attacks, residents said on Monday.

Indian officials and news media officials identified him variously as Ajmal Amir Kamal, Azam Amir Kasav, or Azam Ameer Qasab, and Indian news media quoted police as saying that the alleged killer's home village was in Faridkot, near the city of Multan in the southern part of Pakistan's Punjab province.

Local residents, however, are bewildered and alarmed. They said there was no one of that surname in this village, and no missing resident who fit the pictures and description shown in the Indian news media.

"All the agencies have been here and the (police) special branch," said village elder Mehboob Khan Daha, referring to Pakistan's plainclothes counterterror police. "We have become very worried. What's this all about?" Agents from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) also appeared to be present on Monday, questioning locals.

Shown a picture of the alleged militant, Daha said: "That's a smart-looking boy. We don't have that sort around here."

"It is wrong to kill innocent people. Islam doesn't allow it."

Let me remind everyone what the Koran sez...

Qur'an 9:5 "When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, beleaguer them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

TAQUIYA!

Same answer could apply in Washington D.C., or any liberal bastion.

“There are no jihadis here,”

Yeah and next week we can have Hamas do a thoroughgoing investigation in their never ending quest for terrorists!

Update: OJ has hasn’t found the real killers yet either!

Yup. That's basically a one line summary of the entire Koran. Plus the wife beating too of course.

When we’re well within the second depression, spinelessness will go away with our current kind of business and government leadership.

Mystery? Pakistani terrorist groups took credit, we have their cell phones, the NSA tracked their calls in October and warned they were coming, we know *exactly* who ordered it and where they trained for it, what organizations and even their motives. There is no mystery whatever. There is only cowardice.
