SNIPPET: "The Taliban have struck again in the heart of Pakistan's military garrison city of Rawalpindi. A Taliban suicide assault team estimated at between three to five men entered a mosque in the city and opened fire on the worshippers and detonated their vests, killing 40 and wounding 83 more. The attack killed two senior generals and wounded another.
Two of the members of the suicide assault team have been killed. The assault team was not interested in taking hostages or negotiations, according to the Pakistani military.
"They exploded bombs inside the mosque," Major General Athar Abbas, the top military spokesman told AFP. "They opened fire on the worshippers... There is no hostage situation. Two terrorists have been killed."
The blasts caused parts of the roof of the mosque to collapse.
The attack took place in a mosque that is used by Army officers on a day when the mosque is sure to be filled; Friday is the Muslim day of prayer.
"There were about 200 or 300 worshippers in the hall," an eyewitness told AFP. "Army officials mostly offer their Friday prayers in this mosque."
Major General Bilal Omar Khan, who had served as the commander of the Pakistani Rangers, Brigadier Abdul Rauf, the son of the Peshawar Corps commander, and two lieutenant colonels were killed in the attack, according to Samaa and Geo News. Many children of active military officers were killed and wounded in the bombing. General Mohammad Yousuf, the retired former Vice Chief of Army Staff, was also wounded.

They say they Hate us Infidels yet they spend the majority of their time Killing other Muslims.
Ge 16:12
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s
hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
The sons of Ishmael just doing what comes naturally.
Islam is not a religion but a violent cult. Even if muslims kill all the ‘infidels’, they will start killing each other (sunies vs shiates, etc.). Even mosques are good enough places for killing. Libs will have a rude awakening, because this violent cult do not tolerate diversity.
They say they Hate us Infidels yet they spend the majority of their time Killing other Muslims.
The fundamental Muslims will always kill Infidel collaborators when they get a chance.
Those luke warm Muslims they kill should be out on Jihad killing Infidels and not sitting on the sidelines giving comfort to the Infidels- or worse fighting against the Muslims on Jihad. - tom
