They're getting closer, Mushy!
"Bomber kills 8 near Musharraf's office"
ISLAMABAD - A bomber blew himself up about a quarter-mile from President General Pervez Musharraf's office yesterday, killing seven people and deepening Pakistan's insecurity ahead of crucial elections. Officials said the attacker detonated his explosives among police at a checkpoint in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, just south of the capital, Islamabad. Musharraf was safely inside Army House, where the blast was heard, said presidential spokesman Rashid Qureshi. The checkpoint guards a road leading to the president's compound and the residences of several top generals. Police said three of their officers and four civilians were killed, along with the lone assailant (AP)."
"Suicide Bomber Strikes Within a Mile of Musharraf" by SALMAN MASOOD and GRAHAM BOWLEY
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Oct. 30 — A suicide bomber set off explosives about one mile from the military offices of Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, in this garrison town near Islamabad on Tuesday, killing seven people, including himself, and wounding 14 others, according to police officials and the Interior Ministry.
General Musharraf was working in his office in Rawalpindi at the time of the attack, one of his spokesmen said. He is also chief of the army, and often prefers to work at his office in this tightly guarded city, which is home to the headquarters of Pakistan’s military.
The president’s spokesman, Rashid Qureshi, denied that the president was a target of the attack and said the bomber was stopped well before he entered the security zone around the military compound:
“The attack took place right on a public highway that leads to the eastern city of Lahore.”
The attack on Tuesday took place a few feet from the residence of Gen. Tariq Majeed, who was recently appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.
Better play Waziristan OUR WAY, says AmeriKa's black-ops forces!!
CUI BONO, reader, and how does a "suicider" get so close to Pakistan's version of Robert Gates?
Answer: They don't unless it is an INSIDE JOB!
Before the bombing on Tuesday, Pakistani intelligence agencies had given warnings of possible suicide attacks in the capital and in Rawalpindi by militants sympathetic to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, who have become increasingly active in the country, especially in the semiautonomous tribal regions and northern parts near the border with Afghanistan.
Sniff-sniff! ISI would know since they are their SPONSORS!!!
Security was put on high alert over the weekend. Several police checkpoints had been set up at various entrance points to the two cities. Although the police thwarted the attack, the ability of the suicide bomber to penetrate at least some of the security arrangements suggests that Pakistan is confronted with a determined and deadly enemy.
Had to be an INSIDE JOB then!
And a "deadly and determined enemy," huh?
Like SELF-CREATED?
The suicide bomber, who was estimated to be 19 to 23 years old, was on foot and tried to force himself past a police checkpoint when he was stopped by two officers shortly after noon, according to a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Javed Iqbal Cheema.
I just get tired of the government lies and cover-ups, no matter what they are.
I NO LONGER BELIEVE, sirs!
An intelligence official at the site of the blast said the bomber, who was wearing a traditional tunic and trouser suit, was holding a bag as he walked up to the police checkpoint before he detonated the explosives.
At least three policemen were among the dead, and at least six others were wounded.
Rawalpindi is becoming a potent target for the militants, who have staged an increasing number of attacks on military targets elsewhere in the country. Last month, powerful coordinated explosions set off by two suicide bombers in the heart of Rawalpindi killed at least 25 people, some from Pakistan’s intelligence agency, and wounded at least 68, according to government and military officials."
Yeah, so USrael and it's flogging MSM can say the next terror attack came from there -- and we can wipe them all out with air-power and nukes!!
