LAHORE, Oct 24: The first red book of the country containing the record of most wanted human smugglers and terrorists will be completed by the end of this year, it is learnt.
Official sources told Dawn on Monday that the Federal Investigation Agencys special investigation group (SIG) had been assigned the task. The SIG has primarily been established to fight terrorism.
They said the SIG would launch an operation against them after maintaining the record. The agencys anti-trafficking unit, the passport cell and the immigration wing would assist it in nabbing top human smugglers.
The sources said at present all provinces had maintained a record of the most wanted terrorists which was yet to be centralized.
They said the agency was gathering information about the top human smugglers from the deported persons especially from Oman, Iran, Turkey, Italy and the US. It is learnt that the governments of Oman, Turkey and Iran have asked Pakistan to take strict measures to control human smuggling.
According to some reports, about 30,000 Pakistanis have been deported from Oman on different charges since 2001. Besides, over 1,000 Pakistanis are languishing in different prisons of Muscat awaiting trials for an illegal entry into the country.
Several Pakistanis belonging to poor families have reportedly lost their lives while attempting to reach Oman to earn better livelihood. Similarly, scores of Pakistanis continue to cross the Iran border every week in a bid to reach Turkey, Greece or Italy.
The sources said most of the human smugglers in Punjab were operating in Gujrat, Wazirabad, Sialkot, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujranwala, Malikwal, Faisalabad and adjacent areas.
They said the interior ministry was contemplating to award a handsome amount to the people who would provide information leading to the arrest of the most wanted human smugglers on the pattern of head money on terrorists.
To maintain the record of the most wanted terrorists, the SIG would collaborate with the central investigation department and other law enforcement agencies.
A senior officer told this reporter that the SIG had been strengthened in this regard. A technical wing was being established with a staff of 50 besides recruiting more staff in the intelligence wing and transport facilities.

Still MORE on the 'Clinton/Gorelick Legacy' I presume...?
Thanks.
ExSoldier and his wife survived the storm. There is no structural damage to their home; there are a lot of tree branches down.
He is unable to get online for a while. There was major damage to the regional trunk system. The cellular system is dysfunctional as well.
He called me yesterday afternoon during the few minutes that I was out of cell range; my voicemail alert didn't go off until supper tonight.
He thanks everyone for their prayers.

Insurers balk at 'dirty bombs' payouts
Posted on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 at 1:09pm
Flights could be grounded across Europe as the result of a growing row
about insurance against terrorist threats. Many leading insurers have
already told airlines that they are going to exclude damage to aircraft
caused by nuclear weapons and so called dirty bombs - chemical
explosives that spread radioactive contaminants - set off by terrorists.
They are now saying they may also refuse to pay out for death or injury
caused to passengers in such an attack.

OFF TOPIC, FOR ANIMAL LOVERS:
PRIEST INVITES ANIMALS INTO CHURCH
A priest from Suffolk, England, has
revealed he is accompanied
to his church services by a group of animals.
Father Peter MacLeod-Miller, 43, keeps a
donkey, lambs, goats
and alpacas in a paddock at his rectory and takes
them to the church
in Barrow.
Australian-born Father MacLeod-Miller said,
"Animals are central
figures in many Biblical stories. I just find
they can help people
relax and add interest."
According to BBC online he added, "It's
hard to doze off in
church when there's a donkey standing in the
aisle. People seem to
like them."
He keeps two goats, three lambs, three
alpacas, 30 chickens and a
donkey in a paddock at his rectory.
He takes the animals to services at All
Saints Church and uses
them when working in schools and making visits.

Where are they learning to do this???<<<
My first answer -once upon a time- would have been from
Daddy and older brothers.
Today, from a person who wants them to do this, maybe not in the family, a neighbor? a gang member?
From the computer and television.
Looking back on the 11 year old boys, even foster kids, at
11, they were not making bombs.
How many 11 year olds could read and understand the bomb
making instructions on the internet?
They expected several people to bring bombs to school today.
I ORDERED my grandmother to not leave her house on the 29th, the chosen day for halloween this year and the muslim "Night of Determination"...... 10-29-2005 or 19......again.
Where he learned to make bombs, would be interesting, so would his religion.
