By Saeed Shah | McClatchy Newspapers FARIDKOT, near Depalpur, Pakistan For Complete Inquiry: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/57251.html — The lone gunman captured alive by Indian police during last week's terrorist attack on Mumbai comes from Pakistan's southern Punjab region. Ajmal Ameer Kasab, Until now, the Pakistan government has repeatedly said that there was no solid evidence to back Indian accusations that the gunmen came from Pakistan.Ajmal's parents, as named by the Indian authorities, indeed reside in the village."a bearded mullah" took them away during the night, likely, they thought, to be a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Islamic extremist group accusing of being behind the Mumbai attack. Wattoo led the visiting reporter to Ameer's house, where an elderly man named Sultan and a mid-aged woman named Miraj, who identified themselves as relatives, said the occupants had gone away "for a wedding." A villager, who asked not to be named for his own safety, told McClatchy: "These people are telling you lies. We know that boy (caught in Mumbai) is from Faridkot. We knew from the first night (of the attack)." Shown a picture of Ajmal, he confirmed it was the young man from the village. "They brainwash our youth about jihad, there are people who do it in this village. They tell them they'll get a ticket to heaven. It is so wrong," the villager added. Residents said that Faridkot and the surrounding area are a hotbed for recruitment for Lashkar-e-Taiba. The nazim or mayor of Tara Singh, Rao Zaeem Haider, said: "There is a religious trend here. Some go for jihad but not too many." One said he would talk about freeing the Kashmir region from Indian rule when he returned, - the main aim of Lashkar-e-Taiba.......

It does seem the new “democratic” government has a tenuous grasp on power, at best. They certainly don’t seem to have any “grasp” on their international terrorists. When countries allow their political sewage to overflow into other countries, they really shouldn’t expect good things to happen! One really must wonder if Pakistan has a death wish.

Gee, ‘Jihad’...doesn’t that have something to do with Muslims and Islam? From the story, the ‘suspect’ could be a surly boy scout.
