Pakistan: What's happening now.

18 Clues have been collected in connection with BB's assassination. Findings to be submitted before the upcoming election.

The British detectives have so far collected around 18 clues in connection with the assassination of former Prime Minister Ms Benazir Bhutto,Interim Interior Minister Lt Gen Hamid Nawaz Khan told a private channel.Talking to Geo News, he said Scotland Yard (SY) detectives would return to Pakistan before January 27 and submit their findings before the ensuing elections.
Terms of reference of SY team were finalized by the British government and Pakistan government had accepted the same without changing even a comma, he added.


Musharraf's whirlwind European adventure continues. He schmoozed it up at business leaders at Davos, then passed the hat looking for $ to address the root causes of terrorism. Met with Condi. (She reiterated her support.) Sweet talked Sarko. Chit-chatted with the EUro-crats in Brussels and is expected to be in the UK tomorrow. The freaks at Amnesty International are planning a protest in his honor. Fools. Oh, and in the midst of all this Musharraf's official portrait was changed. Out with the army uniform, in with the civilian garb.

Cue the Islamic rage machine...Health officials want to vaccinate 30 million children for polio. Why the rage? Paki Moslems fear the vaccine will make their children impotent. You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Meanwhile, the Islamic wave of terror continues apace. A bomb is discovered along Nawaz's convoy route. It is defused by police. Who claim it weighed 400 grams, did not have a detonator and was only meant to harass people??? And people are easily harassed these days, a motorbike without a license plate caused a stir amongst the lawyers at the Lahore High Court. Hard to blame them, I guess they're a little jittery since that last motorcycle bombing on January 10. Two die in "mysterious" truck blast, is how the headline reads. They "suspect" terror related activities. Gee. Ya think? (Oh, and CD shop owners are still receiving "threats" to close up shop, or else.)

Military action continues apace in the South Waziristan Agency, Dera Ismail Khan and Wana. Good thing the US stands ready, willing and able to help Pakistan fight the scourge. A scourge that Hamid Karzai likens to a "terror wildfire". A religious terror wildfire that uses a MOSQUE to hide their weapons cache.

And I'd like to tell this crew to STFU. 8 US Senators urge steps for "genuine democracy".

The senators who signed the letter are: Russell D. Feingold, Gordon Smith, Edward M. Kennedy, Robert C. Byrd, Charles E. Schumer, Robert Menendez, Robert P. Casey Jr, and Benjamin L. Cardin.

And speaking of needing a big dose of the STFU: Supporting Musharraf hurting US - this from cricketeer-playboy turned moslem poster boy, Imran Khan. He also plans on protesting Musharraf's visit to London. Jerk.

I'm sorry - but there's a sit-com in here somewhere: 1st Women Police Station set up in Nawabshah. There's one here, too.
