Even more significant though would appear to be the news about a 'suicide' bomber killing a large group of Pakistan tribesman who were trying to attack the militants. So this reveals the next step in how the US will try to stir things up in S. Asia.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081012/ap_on_re_as/as_pakistan excerpt>>The U.S. is suspected in at least 11 missile strikes on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border since mid-August, killing more than 100 people, most of them alleged militants, according to an Associated Press count based on Pakistan intelligence numbers. The United States rarely confirms or denies the attacks, which provoke anger among many Pakistanis. Pakistan's military and civilian leaders have criticized the strikes as violations of their country's sovereignty. But they have not forcefully demanded Washington stop them, leading to criticism from Muslim conservatives. On Saturday, Pakistan's Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik accused the U.S. and Afghanistan of not doing enough to stop Islamist militants from crossing into its territory. Malik said his country had arrested scores of Afghan militants on its side of the border, and that insurgents were using rocket launchers and missiles against its troops. Also Saturday, mourners buried victims of a suicide bombing near the border that targeted anti-Taliban tribesmen who were moving to evict militants from their region. Government official Asghar Khan said authorities had tallied at least 34 bodies, but as many as 25 other bodies may have been taken away by relatives. Some media reports said the death toll from Friday's attack was much higher.<< _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
