Pakistani wanted by U.S. is killed by explosives

By Mushtaq Yusufzai, NBC News
PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Pakistani militant commander, Qari Zafar, who was allegedly involved in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Karachi on March 2, 2002, was killed by an explosive in North Waziristan a few days ago.

The United States had announced $5 million award for his capture. Zafar belonged to Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and was wanted by the government for several terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including masterminding the Marriott Hotel bombing.

His close aides confirmed he was killed as he touched some explosives dumped inside his guesthouse. Militant sources said a meeting of Punjabi Taliban was in progress in North Waziristan to choose his replacement.

Israelis and quasi-Israelis (nutter Christian fundamentalists) all over this article like rabid dogs. The real issue is Pakistan hatred because it is a Muslim nuclear power. The Israelis and quasi-Israelis cant stand it, so they come in droves like rabid Hyenas ranting and raving.

          If I Google "best country to live in", I can get many different opinions and news clips. So yours is nothing more than an opinion sir.

          Sounds like you're unhappy with your situation. All I can tell you is, you have to make the most out of where you live. I wouldn't be any better off in Canada or Norway or anyplace else. I'm pretty happy and I hope things get better for you.

You can't even face the rubbish that you and your party truly are. The American people should see this and vote accordingly at their next chance. Now go ahead with name calling it only helps the conservatives.

                    I hope it was an IED that we provided to someone to place in his guesthouse and are returning the favor by terrorizing the terrorists with their own methods so that it causes them to pause in every action they take.

                                          Sounds like a whole lot of disinformation to me. Where is the body, why hasn't there been an official government report released on his death?  Where did this story originate?  Too many unanswered questions to get real excited yet.

                                            To bad that we can't just use a gas bomb like we use on the cockroaches. You know there is something to be said for chemical weapons. The way I see it is that if you use a little "RAID" it gets into all those cracks and crevices where the slimy little cockroaches are gathering.

                                                      If you really believe that, you must be a little "simple"! (I'm being polite)

                                                      Islamic terrorists (Hezbollah) already killed 299 US and french servicemen in 1983...BEFORE the USS New Jersey shelled Bekka Valley!

                                                      While the majority of 9/11 hijackers were shia from Saudi Arabia, civilians killed by New Jersey's shelling were sunnis and druze. Personally, I don't believe the shia 'like' the sunnis or the druze that much to defend them.

                                                      So, in your demented way of thinking, I guess you believe that all of the following, not counting 9/11 "was retribution for the Beirut bombing: (Keep believing your crap...if it keeps you happy)

                                                      • In 1979, fifty-two American citizens were taken hostage by Islamic terrorists who took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran.

                                                      • In 1983, a Hezbollah suicide bomber attacked the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 63 people.
                                                      • Later that year, another suicide bomber attacked the U.S. marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 U.S. marines and injuring over 100 more.
                                                      • Terrorists also bombed the U.S. Embassy annex in Kuwait in 1983, killing six and injuring over 80 others.
                                                      • In 1984, there was another suicide bombing of the U.S. Embassy compound in Beirut, killing 24 people.
                                                      • Later that year, Hezbollah hijacked Kuwait Airways flight 221, and killed two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development when their demands to release the 17 terrorists who had bombed the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait were not met.
                                                      • In 1985, Hezbollah hijacked TWA flight 847, first to Lebanon and then to Algiers, where they held the passengers hostage for 17 days. Again, they demanded the release of the terrorists who had bombed the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, and shot a U.S. Navy diver when their demands were not met.
                                                      • Later that year, the PLO hijacked the Achille Lauro, an Italian cruise ship, and killed an American tourist when their demands for the release of PLO terrorists were not met.
                                                      • In 1986, TWA flight 840 was bombed just before landing in Athens, Greece, killing four people who were sucked out of the hole caused by the explosion.

                                                      • In 1993, a Muslim sniper opened fire on the CIA complex in Langley, VA, killing two CIA employees and injuring three others.
                                                      • That same year, a car bomb was planted in the garage under the World Trade Center.
                                                      • In 1995, a car bomb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killed five Americans.
                                                      • In 1996, Hezbollah bombed the U.S. military complex in Riyadh, killing 19 Americans and injuring hundreds more.
                                                      • In 1998, Al Qaeda bombed the U.S. Embassies in both Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing a total of 223 people and injuring over 4,000.

                                                      First of all, 'retribution' is punishment. The Beirut bombing was an attack on America, so to say that 9/11 was retribution for an attack on us doesn't make much sense...

                                                      Also, those that carried out the bombings in question were hardly the same group. The Beirut bunch were Shiʿa, 9/11 bunch were Sunni.

                                                      There seem to be a few holes in your theory...

                                                      Eh, whatever. What would SacramentoMike be doing right now if he wasn't posting mindless tripe on an American web site using American technology? Nailing a goat by candlelight. Who cares what he posts. Probably some sniveling little white kid who got beat up twice today using his mom's laptop anyway.

                                                      Guessa the FBI should get a copy of your post-- sounds like you help the terrorists.

                                                        Bri the terrorists were financed and helped by Reagan and the CIA. Ive seen the pictures of Reagan with the Taliban. Please report Reagan and the CIA to the FBI.

You sound like another Tea Partier with all that hate for anything that's decent like Academic freedom among other things.I expect that your candidates will win bigtime in this fall's elections and this country will suffer more economic hardship as well as war.

They may not have liked Bush, but they certainly did not want the fanatical loss of freedoms and imposed policy being forced upon us by you left wing cowards.

I mean, seriously, have the terrorists turned you all into such dumb f***'s that you've began to believe they're invisible and we simply can't kill them? Why should we need to stick his skull on a pole for some of you to believe they're really dead? They're still humans, you know, and when you shoot them, they still die...

You think maybe the bad policies being forced upon Americans by your ULTRA LIBERAL WASTE party are finally getting people to sit down and think of the consequences of their last votes in 2008. By the way all your boys: Hitler,etc,etc had ideals more closely adhered to by your left winger DUMBOCRAT party in charge now. Get schooled you seem awfully naive.
