Deadly Pakistan Mosque Siege Ends
"This (mosque attack) is part of our government's action against religious
elements to please America," said Shabbir Khan, a lawmaker from an opposition
Islamic party, at the demonstration.
About 15 other Islamic opposition lawmakers gathered in front of the
Supreme Court in Islamabad, blaming Musharraf for Pakistan's troubles, including
the mosque attack, and calling for his resignation.
In neighboring Afghanistan, a senior Taliban commander, Mansoor Dadullah,
urged Muslims to launch suicide attacks on Pakistani security forces, calling
the assault "a cruel act."
"I would have sent 10,000 mujahedeen to support the (Red Mosque) students
but we are busy in Afghanistan and Islamabad is far from Afghanistan. I wished
to go myself to support them," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
Oh yeah, a brave one, that one. What the AP isn't saying is that their crack reporter was probably sipping an espresso just off the dangerous Piazza Navona and the brave murderer Dadullah was calling from his headquarters in a Starbucks in Istanbul where he defending his faith by buying little girls. And I'm not talking about his Starbucks Coffee Liqueur.
