The seizure of Mohammed is testament both to Washingtons approach to Pakistan and to what theyre up against. The big-time terrorist was holed up in the home of a top World Health Organisation microbiologist, whose wife heads up one of the most radical Islamist political parties in the country. Is it normal for UN microbiologists to rent the spare room to terrorists known to be in the market for biological weapons?
This is the first I've heard of it. Of course, we shouldn't be too hard on the networks - they would have gotten around to mentioniung this tiny detail, but they've been SO busy telling us how Mohammed's capture is such a crushing defeat for Bush in the war on terrorism. </dripping sarcasm>
