“US special forces snatch squads are on standby to seize or disable Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal in the event of a collapse of government authority or the outbreak of civil war following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.”
It is good to know they are ready and have a plan of action.

Kenyan Police Battle Opposition After Kenyan Elections
Monday, December 31, 2007
Dec. 31: Police officers beat opposition supporters during riots in the Kibera slum in Nairobi.
NAIROBI, Kenya — Police fired tear gas and bullets Monday as they struggled to contain tens of thousands of opposition supporters accusing President Mwai Kibaki of stealing his re-election. The death toll in the demonstrations and ethnic clashes rose to at least 125 people, police and witnesses said.
Three police officers said they had orders to shoot to kill, while opposition supporters said they would risk death to protest what they called a stolen election.
The vote ignited smoldering resentment between Kenya’s two largest tribes, with supporters of Raila Odinga, a Luo who officially came in second, clashing with members of Kibaki’s Kikuyu. The head of Kenya’s Red Cross said many of the dead were killed in ethnic violence across the country.
The Kikuyu comprise the largest ethnic group in Kenya, and are frequently accused by other tribes of monopolizing business and political power.
