No one that counts as a human being, that is.
WASHINGTON — President Bush said Sunday he was outraged by the church attack Sunday in Pakistan that killed a U.S. Embassy employee and her daughter. He pledged to find those responsible and bring them to justice.
Two attackers hurled grenades into a Protestant church filled with worshippers in Islamabad, Pakistan. Five people, including the Americans, were killed, and 45 others were injured, police and U.S. officials said.
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad identified the Americans as Barbara Green, who worked in administration at the embassy, and her daughter Christin Woolsley, a senior at the American School in Islamabad. Green's husband works in the embassy's computer division.
Bush said it was a terrorist attack. ``I strongly condemn them as acts of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience nor justified by any cause,'' he said in a statement.
The State Department had no immediate comment.
The Protestant International Church is in a heavily guarded diplomatic enclave about a half-mile from the U.S. Embassy.
No group claimed responsibility. Suspicion fell on Islamic militants angered by Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's crackdown on Islamic extremism that began in January.
``We will work closely with the government of Pakistan to ensure those responsible for this terrorist attack face justice,'' Bush said.
What optimism, unless the author is referring to the excitement of bloodthirsty murderers, who are eager to push Israel into the sea.
Of course. They can't figure out which one of Arafat's terrorist groups is going to take credit.
And these terrorists were able to get through the security to murder five people, two of them US citizens?
Sounds like either an inside job--or they dressed as security guards to infiltrate the security.
This has been going on for over a 1000 years, and will no doubt go on for another 1000 years. Old news.
There can't be any peace in Palestine while Arafat remains a puppeteer.
I keep wondering how hard it is to identify Palestinians as such. What I mean is, how can these people be separated? Is it possible to take all people of "Palestinian" descent and relocate them to Syria, Jordan or Egypt? If Arafat is an example of who is available to negotiate, that's the only hope.
Well, duh! What did you expect? The terrorists rewarded for their actions would just stop? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! The terrorists ALWAYS hit the weak or these whom they perceive weak.
Who was optimistic? Was anyone?
The PLO has a death wish. I hope to hell its handed to them...
They now perceive Bush/Powell as weak leaders who can be exploited and manipulated by a cadre of Islamic states to betray Israel for promises of Islamic friendship. What a pitiful adminstration this is becoming.
