“Fazlullah’s Compound Overrun; Liquor, Prison Discovered”
SNIPPET: “The Pakistani military’s slow grind through the Taliban controlled district of Swat in the Northwest Frontier Province has finally reached Maulana Fazlullah’s stronghold in the town of Imam Dheri. After Fazlullah’s compound was overrun, troops found liquor and a prison. The Daily Times reports:
The army also blew up the houses of Fazlullah and his spokesman Maulana Sirajuddin, besides seizing several weapons, computers and some bottles of liquor from the site, army officials said. The liquor was believed to be seized at militants checkposts from people.””
SNIPPET: “While al Qaeda and Taliban leaders push the worst forms of Sharia law on their subjects, they very often ignore their own laws. Abu Musab al Zarqawi, for example, is rumored to have had a penchant for pornography and other un-Islamic proclivities.”

(KUNMING) — Forensic doctors and police have found that four pupils in southwest China’s Yunnan province died Monday morning from a kind of highly toxic rat poison, sources with the provincial public security department said Saturday.
The four students, three girls and a boy, were from Lehong township of Ludian county. They developed symptoms of poisoning and died after arriving at school between 8:30 to 9 a.m. Monday, according to Ma Jilin, Communist Party chief of Ludian county.
Autopsy report said the four had eaten dry instant noodles and crackling which could have been put in the wrapping bags of the rat poison, which led to their death.
The police have investigated local stores, households, and clinics and found no other cases of poisoning. They ruled out the possibility of malicious poisoning after investigating people relevant to the victims.
However, the rodenticides, namely “Dushuqiang” in Chinese, is widely used in China’s countryside to get rid of rats.
