Random Jihad from Pakistan and Afghanistan

They're still fighting like Moslems in Pakistan and using their time honored Islamic tactics of blowing up colleges, kidnapping innocent civilians and then hiding out in a school when troops came after them. And they wonder why we question their Religion of Peace moniker...

Army deployed tanks in Darra Adamkhel after security forces clashed with militants on Sunday while the road between Kohat and Peshawar has been blocked. Sources said two non-combatants were wounded in an exchange of fire and they were taken to Peshawar. Fighting was continuing till late in the evening.Local people said that the tanks moved in at about noon after militants attacked soldiers checking vehicles near the Friendship Tunnel on the Indus Highway. They said that the soldiers returned fire and the militants took refuge in a private school in the Shagiwal locality of the Darra town. The troops surrounded the school and tanks pounded its building.Militants had earlier blown up a college building in the area and kidnapped two people three days ago from the Indus Highway.


Officials said that the militants were believed to be hiding in the basement of the school building. They said they were not sure about the number of militants there. A curfew was imposed in several localities of Darra.


Nine Taliban bodies arrive in Wana Pakistan...they were killed by US forces in AFGHANISTAN. I wonder what they were doing there???


Key al Qaeda figure killed in AFGHANISTAN... Abu Suleiman al Otaibi, formerly one of the Al Qaeda leaders in Iraq, was killed in a “fierce battle with the worshipers of the cross” in Paktia it said, without giving the date of the battle. Another Al Qaeda member, identified as Abu Dejana al-Qahtani, also died in the fighting, it added.

Geez, and it just wouldn't be a post about the Religion of Peace's peaceful inner jihad without your miscellaneous kidnapping or terror attack stories, now would it? Here's a smattering: Ex-minister's sons kidnapped. 3 kidnappers arrested, body recovered. Terrorist bridge attack foiled in Sui, Quetta.
