Pervez Musharraf made a decision to take Islamofascists inside the Red Mosque located in Islamabad a few days ago. Involved in the battle were children (boys and girls) taught hatred by indoctrination. Some died. The leader of the Red Mosque Abdul Rashid Ghazi went down fighting in a blaze of glory certain to be hanging around his 72 perpetual virgins indulging in carnal delights.

There are suspicions about the actual number of people the Pakistan Government Military killed in its surge to dislodge Islamofascist sympathizers to the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Various other Islamofascists have claimed it was in the thousands, the Pakistan Government claims it was in the hundreds; however the lack of verification allowed has made the psycho-Islamofascists of Pakistan suspicious that Musharraf’s Government is lying.

So guess what? The Land within Pakistan sovereign borders known as Waziristan is chalk full of Taliban and al-Qaeda planning their terrorist activities on a global basis. These psychos are stirring the Mohammedans of Pakistan to engage Musharraf in holy war, better known to us infidels (kafir) as Jihad.

Musharraf is mobilizing his Army to Waziristan. It is unclear if a military confrontation will take place because Pakistani senior military leaders are going groveling to the Islamofascists to beg them to decease for the call for Jihad against Musharraf.

THOUSANDS of troops were deployed to Pakistan's northwestern frontier to try to dissuade outlawed Islamic militants from launching a holy war against the government for its bloody attack on a radical mosque.

As the troop movement proceeded in at least five areas of the North West Frontier Province yesterday, a suicide bomber struck in another border region, his explosives-laden vehicle killing at least eight soldiers in a military convoy.

Security officials said as many as 12 soldiers died and another 20 were wounded in the attack.

Elsewhere in the northwest, suspected militants detonated a bomb that struck a vehicle carrying soldiers in the town of Bannu, wounding two of them, said Mohammed Khan, an area police official.

Two rockets were also fired at a military checkpoint, but no casualties were reported.

The region along Afghanistan's border has seen increased activity by both local militants, the Taliban and, according to a recent US assessment, al-Qaeda.

"With help from local tribal elders, we are trying to ensure militants lay down their arms and stop issuing calls for jihad against the government," said a senior military official.

He said there were no immediate plans for combat operations against Maulana Fazlullah, a radical cleric who has pressed for the imposition of Taliban-style rule in Pakistan, much like the leaders of the Red Mosque.

Pakistan troops overran the Islamabad mosque last Wednesday, following an eight-day siege with a hard-line cleric and his militant supporters that left more than 100 dead.

Fazlullah, who has close links to the outlawed Movement for the Enforcement of Islamic Law, told supporters to prepare for jihad, or holy war, against President General Pervez Musharaff for the assault, the official said.

Interior ministry secretary Syed Kamal Shah told the Dawn newspaper that some women and children may have been among the 75 killed in the raid.

Earlier, the government said the only casualties were among the defending militants and attacking troops.

After nearly two weeks of tension and violence, life was returning to normal in Islamabad, with authorities lifting a curfew imposed on areas near the Red Mosque. Anti-Musharraf protests erupted across Pakistan on Friday. One of the largest was in the eastern city of Lahore, where some 10,000 offered prayers for Abdul Rashid Ghazi, a radical cleric killed at the mosque.

But the rallies were smaller than expected, and there was no violent backlash from militant groups.

In the northwest, an army brigade was heading up the Swat Valley, 75 miles northeast of Peshawar, where a suicide car bomber killed three policemen at a checkpoint last Thursday, said Mohammed Javed, the valley's top administrator.

With yesterday's suicide attack in North Waziristan, at least 43 people have been killed in bombings and shootings in the north since the Red Mosque crisis began on July 3. Asif Iqbal Daudzai, spokesman for the provincial government, said Fazlullah had broken an agreement to stop using FM radio broadcasts for anti-government agitation. If he does so again, security forces "will react", Daudzai said.

Troops were also sent to Dera Ismail Khan, a town near the tribally governed Waziristan border region, a Taliban stronghold where Washington says al-Qaeda is regrouping.

Police said they raided a house in Dera Ismail Khan on Friday, arresting three suspected suicide bombers and seizing five explosives vests.

No new troops were sent to North Waziristan, but a spokesman for militants demanded that all existing checkpoints be removed from the region by today.

Abdullah Farhad, who claims to speak for pro-Taliban militants, said the checkpoints violated a 2005 peace accord between the government and tribal elders. Although the peace deal is still in effect, militants have again started attacking government forces in the region, while the government has targeted some militant hideouts.

Yesterday's suicide attack occurred along a road near Daznaray, a village near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan.

Two local security officials said the attack killed 12 soldiers, with another 20 troops wounded.
