Interesting that there were no fire engines to hose down the site 15 minutes after this blast. Maybe there wasn't much blood - I mean it was a Pakistani General after all

what say?
Hi all,
Well, even I am surprised by the declaration by Deoband.
We need to wait and see if it has any effect.
Also, came across these news in Deccan chronicle.
First about our unnspiring 'president'.
(sorry pasting the whole text)
Presi dent Pratibha Patil is exploring the possibility of having civilians monitor military operations in the northeast and Jammu and Kashmir in a bid to tackle complaints of harassment of women by security personnel. what a recipe for disaster in waiting
In what could revive the demand for the repeal of the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958 (AFSPA), the President has assured leading women rights activist and former National Commission for Women chairperson Mohini Giri that she would see whether civilian supervision of military operations was possible. a leftist no doubt, esp when demanding the repeal of AFSPA
"I, with my 50 years of experience of working for women in various troubletorn states, can say that women are not immune to exploitation or abuse by security personnel during their operations against militants," Ms Giri said.
"I had broached the issue with President Patil and mooted the idea of civilian monitoring of military operations in the northeastern states and Jammu and Kashmir, and she has promised to get it examined," Giri said.
"The President asked me to give her a formal explanatory note of my ideas on civilian monitoring of military operations and I am in the process of sending the note to her," Ms Giri added.

This dummy president will surely do damage before being kicked out after 5 years
Another, of a Christist attacking a Gurudwara in California.
A California man who is accused of ramming a stolen loader into a gurudwara, is facing a maximum of 12 years in prison after pleading no contest.
Michael Benjamin Rafferty, 40, is scheduled for sentencing on March 20, his attorney, Mr Michael Sharpe said.
Rafferty, who is being held on a $1 million bail, told police that he rammed the loader into the 9,000square-foot gurudwara in March last year because "it was owned by foreigners", the police officer, Mr Tim York, testified at Rafferty's preliminary hearing last year.
"He thought they were Arabs," Mr York said.
"He said they didn't believe in Jesus and didn't belong there."
Rafferty had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. But he changed his plea to no contest to charges including vandalism, vehicle theft and a civil rights violation, Redding.com reported.
He faced about a dozen years in prison if convicted.
He also had three felony cases pending, including vehicle theft and methamphetamine possession, could have netted him an additional seven years in prison, Mr Sharpe said.
However, the charges were dismissed as part of a plea bargain.
Mr Sharpe said Rafferty will apologise to the Sikh community at his sentence hearing and request a sentence lesser than 12 years in prison.
The Shasta County sheriff's Detective, Mr Pam Depuy, said Rafferty admitted to having used methamphetamine three to four hours before his rampage.
Another on the Issue of Scotland's Independence
The issue of Scotland's independence has again come to the forefront after the Scottish National Party, which heads a minority government of the Scottish Executive, came to power in Scotland.
The Scottish National Party, which campaigns for Scottish independence, won 47 out of 129 seats in the Scottish Parliament in May 2007 elections. Although the SNP has the greatest number seats of any single party, it is quite short of an absolute majority. SNP leader Alex Salmond was elected as First Minister of a minority government on May 16.
The SNP, which has launched a white paper on the issue in August, wants to hold a referendum on independence in 2010.
Edinburgh-born actor Sir Sean Connery, who has been a supporter of the SNP for more than 40 years, has said that he believes Scotland will become an independent country within his lifetime. The 77-year-old actor also hinted that he may return to Scotland if it achieves full independence.
The former James Bond actor, who now lives in the Bahamas, had said earlier that he would only return to Scotland after an absence of 50 years if an end to the Union were to be negotiated.
Writing in the Scottish Sunday Express, Sir Sean has praised Mr Salmond and the work of the SNP government since it came into power in May 2007. "I've always been hopeful about Scotland's prospects. And I now believe more than ever that Scotland is within touching distance of achieving independence and equality."
Sir Sean also hailed Scotland for securing its own Parliament for the first time since the "parcel of rogues" sold its freedom in 1707.
He wrote that he is certain that Mr Salmond will convince the public that independence is the best way forward. "Step one was winning our Parliament in 1997. Step two was electing an SNP government in 2007. I believe we have what it takes to take the third step, and I am convinced it will happen in my lifetime."
The border debate between Scotland and England is likely to be reignited after recent surveys of English border towns have revealed that their residents would prefer to join Scotland.
Berwick-upon-Tweed was recently in news as a survey revealed that six in 10 residents supported a switch in allegiance from Westminster to Edinburgh.
Finally a news on Indian Under sea missile...

the mullahs would not have survived to see the light of 21st century had they not discovered this great tool called Al-Taquiyah.
The Deobankd declaration is a classic example of Taquiyah (deception for religious goals). I am not surprised to see that ELM, has bought the story hook line and sinker. And are peddling it to guillible hindus.
Well, even I am surprised by the declaration by Deoband.
