Report: Bomb That Killed 170 in Pakistan Was Strapped to a 1-Year-Old Child
Fox News ^ | 11/21/07

Posted on 11/21/2007 9:03:53 AM PST by ConorMacNessa

The homicide terror bomb used in an assassination attempt on former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto last month may have been strapped to a 1-year-old child who was being carried by his jihadist father, The Australian newspaper reported Thursday.

The bomb, which killed 170 people and injured hundreds more, detonated during a crowded procession for Bhutto as she returned from exile.

Investigators from Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party said the homicide bomber tried repeatedly to carry the baby to Bhutto's vehicle as it proceeded through the streets of Karachi.

"At the point where the bombs exploded, Benazir Bhutto herself saw the man with the child and asked him to come closer so that she could hug or kiss the infant," investigators were reported as saying.

"But someone came in between and a guard felt that the man with the child was not behaving normally. So the child was not allowed to come aboard Benazir's vehicle."

Something the people complaining about the TSA searching babies should take note.

More news the MSM isn’t interested in reporting as it might generate support for the war on terror.

No. The MSM has no interest in this. Ever. Except to support it.

Yep.....welcome to the 14th Century. Looks like it’s coming back. I think the world will only take so much of this before they really get ticked off. The question is.....when?

This sounds a little fishy.

"At the point where the bombs exploded, Benazir Bhutto herself saw the man with the child and asked him to come closer so that she could hug or kiss the infant," investigators were reported as saying.
