Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

PAKISTANI PASTOR DEMANDS SECURITY FROM THE POLICE

By Sheraz Khurram Khan
Special Correspondent for Assist News Service in Pakistan

MULTAN, MIAN CHANNU, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- A local priest whose church was attacked by some intruders on Thursday night, March 30, has appealed to the police to provide more security to the Christian residents of the area.

A group of unidentified people allegedly broke into a church in Mian Channu, a town about 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of Multan. The attackers managed to escape after breaking and torching the furniture of the church.

Nathaniel Barkat, a priest at the church, reportedly said they had asked for police protection because they were still shaken by the attack.

“We were sleeping in our room near the church at the time. We don’t know who did it,” the Associated Press (AP) quoted Nathaniel as saying.

The culprits are still at large. “So far, we have made no arrests, but officers are seriously investigating this incident, and we will soon find those who did this shameful act,” the local police chief, Sajjad Khan, who was quoted by the AP.
The writer is a freelance journalist based in Pakistan.

"'Taleban' kill Turkish engineer"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Turkish engineer has been shot dead by suspected Taleban militants while working on a road construction project in western Afghanistan, officials said.
The engineer was pulled from his car and shot when travelling along the border of Farah and Nimroz provinces.

His body was set alight by the militants, an official said.

Militants have repeatedly attacked US-funded road works in Afghanistan and have killed or kidnapped several foreign workers in the past year.

The Turkish engineer was travelling with three police guards on Sunday when gunmen in another car forced their vehicle to stop.

The three guards were released."

They should get a handle on their facts. It's 247 feet long. Still big, but not the size of an aircraft carrier.
