“Mortars, Kassam Rocket Attacks Greet Bush”
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “By evening, at least 15 mortars and Kassam rockets had rained down on southern Israel, with many hitting the besieged city of Sderot.
Three people in the city were rushed to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon after an attack late in the afternoon. One of the victims was a 17-year-old girl who was hit in the hand by shrapnel. A 60-year-old man complained of chest pains, and a third person fell and was injured while running for cover from the incoming missiles.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The attacks began well before Bush’s midday arrival in Israel, with the first barrage of five rockets and shells slamming into Sderot at 8:00 a.m., when many Israeli children were going to school and their parents were going to work.
One of the missiles slammed into a house, landing in a young child’s bedroom. Miraculously, the three-week-old baby was in his mother’s arms in the shelter to which she ran when the Color Red alert siren wailed. Three people were treated for shock in the aftermath of the attack, including the boy’s mother.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Salah a-Din Brigades, a terror gang under the banner of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the morning’s attacks.”

“Suicide bombing in Lahore, Pakistan claims 22 dead”
By BILL ROGGIOJanuary 10, 2008 3:50 AM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Pakistan has suffered yet another suicide bombing in one of its major cities. A suicide bomber targeted police stationed outside of the Lahore High Court in the provincial capital of Punjab. At least 22 police and civilians were killed and 70 wounded in the attack.
The blast was described as “powerful.” Geo News reported the attack was conducted by a suicide bomber wearing a vest.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The bombing comes just days after Pakistani security services arrested the leader and five members of a Lahore-based suicide cell. Ahsan al Haq and five cell members were arrested for complicity in the November Sargodha Air Force Base suicide bombing which claimed the lives of eight Pakistanis. Al Haq, the cell leader, was a former Pakistani Army major who operated a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan prior to the ouster of the Taliban in late 2001.
The arrest of al Haq and his cell may have activated other related cells. The Lahore suicide bombing may also be a retaliatory strike for the detention of the cell.”

“Massive Homicide Bomb Rocks Pakistani High Court, Killing At Least 20”
Thursday, January 10, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LAHORE, Pakistan — A suicide bomber blew himself up among police guards deployed in front of a court in eastern Pakistan ahead of a planned protest by lawyers Thursday, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens more, officials and witnesses said.
An Associated Press photographer at the scene of the attack outside Lahore High Court saw more than 25 dead and wounded people, including police and civilians. Wounded people lying in pools of blood were crying for help.
He also saw the severed head of a man with long hair and beard, possibly that of the suicide bomber.
“It was a suicide attack,” Lahore police chief Malik Iqbal told Dawn News TV. He said police were “definitely” targeted.
Lahore chief of police operations in Aftab Cheema said the bomber arrived on a motorbike, parked it near the police guards before running up to the barrier they were manning and blew himself up. He said 19 policemen and one civilian was killed.
Another police official Mohammed Masood said more than 50 others were wounded, including civilian passersby.”
