15 Killed In Pakistan Courtroom Bombing

Judge Among The Dead In Southwestern Province

(AP)  A suicide bomber killed 15 people — including a judge — after blowing himself up inside a courtroom in a southwestern Pakistani province that has seen intense civil conflict for years, police said.

Elsewhere, authorities announced the arrests of three people who they accused of planning similar attacks.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack at the District Courts complex in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. At least 24 people were wounded in the suicide attack, said Jam Mohammed Yousaf, the top elected official the province.

He said a civil judge, five lawyers and some of the relatives of prisoners on trial were among those killed.

Information was not immediately available about who was on trial. The blast shattered windows and destroyed furniture inside the courtroom. Shoes, strips of clothing and body parts littered the scene.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz — who was visiting the northwestern city of Peshawar on Saturday to meet with families of some police officials who died in a separate suicide attack — condemned the bombing.

"It is an attack on humanity," he said.

Shortly after the attack, a crowd gathered outside the District Court complex and chanted anti-government slogans. Hundreds of relatives thronged a main government hospital where the dead and injured were taken. Rauf Khan, city police chief, said the situation was under control.

The latest attack came a day after police announced they had arrested five suspected militants from the southern city of Karachi and Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad, and that the suspects were planning suicide attacks on foreigners and minority Shiite Muslims.

Also Saturday, police in southern Pakistan said they arrested three Islamic militants who were planning suicide attacks to take place at forthcoming Shiite Muslim gatherings in Sindh province. The arrests were made late Friday, said Mazhar Sheikh, the police chief in Sukkur, a city about 300 miles northeast of Karachi, the provincial capital.

In Baluchistan province — made up of vast deserts — government forces have clashed with ethnic Baluch rebels in long-running unrest over political rights and royalties from rich natural gas fields.

Authorities in recent months have also arrested hundreds of suspected Taliban from Quetta and elsewhere as part of a campaign aimed at deporting Afghans living here without valid travel documents.

The conflict in the sparsely populated and impoverished region has drawn little attention from Western nations more concerned about Taliban militants believed to launch attacks from border regions of Baluchistan into Afghanistan, where NATO forces operate.

Humanitarian concerns emerged in the spring amid reports that tens of thousands of Baluch people had fled their homes in the volatile districts of Dera Bugti and Kohlu.

In August, a UNICEF survey counted 84,000 displaced and recommended to the provincial government that they needed help.

The latest attack came a day after police announced that they had arrested five suspected militants from the southern city of Karachi and Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad, and that the suspects were planning suicide attacks on foreigners and minority Shiite Muslims.

We can not fight and win against those who are ready to give their lives for killing their enemies.It's not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN we'll be attacked by suicide bombers in United States.
CHRISTIANITY is PSYCHOSIS and CHRISTIANS are PSYCHOTICS.The decision of taking OIL in cheaper prices from ARABS and in return supporting their those enemies who were brought into Palestine after WWII to occupy the land of those Palestinians by force who had nothing to do with the crimes comited by HITLER,was the continuation of the same PSYCHOSIS according to which JESUS LOVERS are GOD-NEGLECTED and JESUS-HATERS are GOD-CHOSEN,the same PSYCHOSIS according to which all those new born children who can't comit any sin like MURDER,RAPE,etc., cant even think about or making intention about any sin are born in the sins they have never comited.How can we impose this PSYCHOSIS on the people of MIDDLE EAST and think they'd not retaliate.How can we tell people of Iraq that we are going to kill them and occupy their land and bring Europeans from different European countries to occupy their land by force just like it was done against poor Palestinians.
How many more million people we need to kill for the 2nd coming of CHRIST.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Infamy Speech
December 8, 1941/September 12, 2001
The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

Following are excerpts from a children's program hosted by Egyptian cleric, Sheik Muhammad Nassar, which aired on Al-Nas TV on June 15, 2006. Sheik Nassar is identified by Al-Nas TV as a preacher at the Egyptian ministry of religious endowment:
Sheik Muhammad Nassar: Let's listen to a very beautiful story to learn about the courage of a child, and how, when a child is brought up in a good home, and receives proper education in faith, he loves martyrdom, which becomes like an instinct for him. He can never give it up."

I have studied Christian Bible(Both old and new testement,mostly King James version),Jewish Torah,Muslims' Koran and Hindu book Geeta.
After studying all these religions I have come to a conclusion that Christianity is nothing but a modified version of Judiasm and Islam is nothing but an extreme version of Christianity.Hindu book Geeta is totally different from these three religions eventhough Hinduism is the only religion which makes a little bit of sense.Atleast they worship those Gods they have seen.They worship monkey(Hanumaan jee),they have seen monkeys,they worship elephent(GANAISH MAHARAAJ),they have seen elephents,they worship Cow(GAO MATAA),they have seen cow and so on.
The most stupid religion which is not a religion but a PSYCHOSIS is CHRISTIANITY.You are saying that Christians don't blow themselves up for killing on the name of JESUS but CHRISTIANS are the ones who support the occupation of Middle Eastern land by the European invaders on the basis of RACISM.Christains are the ones who beleive that Human beings are not born equally but have been created as GOD-CHOSEN or GOD-NEGLECTED on the basis of the RACE or FAMILY they are born.
If Europeans were not brought into Palestine to occupy the land of those Palestinians by force who can't even speak HITLER's language because BIBLE says so,Muslims would not get recruits to blow themsleves up because KORAN says so.

The people who support this war cannot tell who the enemy is. Yet still these war supporters vote to send the Treasure of America to fight and die (over 3,100 soldiers) in the Middle East. Three hundred and sixty Three Tons of Money was sent to Iraq along with Billions of American Tax Dollars most of which cannot be accounted for. These War Supporters owe America an explanation of who the enemy is and what the clear mission is! What is the exit strategy? The Saudi Arabian government is supporting the Sunnis who are killing our Marines and soldiers and are responsible for 60 percent of the killings and deaths. The Shiites who were on our side at the start of the war are now supported by Iran and are forming death squads to clean out the Sunnis from Shiite neighborhoods. Then there are the 12 to 15 Al Qaeda members who are stirring up the entire Civil War by killing everyone and the various thugs and thievery that goes on in day to day cities everywhere. Meanwhile the Saudis and Kuwaitis are Slant Drilling from the boarder into the Iraqi Oil reserves stealing Iraqi Oil. America has spent 50 years of treasure trying to create civilization, freedom, peace, and democracy in the Middle East we cannot want it more than they do. Freedom is earned and cannot be given. We must quit fighting their proxy wars trying to earn their Freedom for them, let them decide what they want for themselves. The Statue of Liberty Stands in New York Harbor and is not Kneeling in the desert of the Middle East!

Christianity says
"Thou shalt not comit adultery"
Islam's religious book koran took it to extreme and said
"Don't even go near to adultery"
and further said
"Tell the believer men to lower their gaze and protect their genitals"
Now if we look at the study done by University of Illinois which says
"men are genetically programmed to cheat on their wives"
It's very obvious that we men are programmed in our genes to comit adultery which is forbidden in Christianity and then further in Islam upto an extreme level which teaches that it's dishonesty for a man to look at any woman except his wife.
Can you just try to be a little bit open-minded.Can't you see that the study done in University of Illinois is done by those professors who got Ph.Ds in this 21st century when Scientific Advances are like they were never before.If we want to fight against RADICAL ISLAM which is based on the violation of human rights,which denounces men's right to comit adultery(I am not talking about rape and would never support that)we first need to fight agaisnt CHRISTIANITY which started this human right violation at the first place.

I NO LONGER SUPPORT THE OCCUPATION

The real %u2018occupation%u2019

1300 years of Arab occupation

Arabs, whose home is Arabia, have occupied and brutalized for centuries.

During that time, non muslims have...

been murdered en masse
had their land stolen
their holy places destroyed and desecrated
been sold into slavery
their women raped
their children butchered


and the arabs have the nerve to whine about "occupation" when non muslims fight back

I NO LONGER SUPPORT ISLAM OCCUPATION

[patriotic9]

Christianity forbids Homosexuality and denounce their right of marriage.Islam is nothing but an extreme from of Christianity which orders death sentence for those found of involved in Homosexual acts.Christianity teaches to love JESUS and believe in his mother's virginity(eventhough at the same time consider those people GOD-CHOSEN who disbelieve in both of them).Islam is nothing but an extreme from of Christianity.In Islam,Insulting Jesus or denouncing virginity of his mother is a crime punishable by death,that's the main reason Radical muslims believe in killing jews.
Not only this but Christians are the ones who supported RADICAL MUSLIMS more then any body else whether it was REAGAN's support to OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN or BUSH's support to MALIKI in the killing of our troops in IRAQ.

This is Pakistan's punishment for helping the West, yet Pakistanis are still regularly accused of supporting terrorists.

Now American govt is in the hands of CHRISTIANS.CHRISTIANITY is PSYCHOSIS and CHRISTIANS are PSYCHOTICS.
Don't you know that CHRISTAIN FAITH consider those enemies of GOD's only begotten son as GOD-CHSOEN people, who deny JESUS as a MESSIAH and SON OF GOD and accuse his mother of FORNICATION and denounce her VIRGINITY and consider those CHRISTIANS as GOD-NEGLECTED who love JESUS and believe in his mother's VIRGINITY.
More Pakistanis help these PSYCHOTIC CHRISTIANS,more animosity will be shown by CHRISTIANS against them.It's the nature of the PSYCHOSIS they suffer from.I don't want to make any claim without a sound reason.I'll give you valid reason to prove my point.
When Pakistani authorities had captured a terrorist named AMAL KANSI and handed him over to United States,the Attorny General then named "JOHN ASHCROFT" had made a statement in a press conferance where he had states
"Why Pakistanis have been given millions of dollars for capturing a terrorist,Pakistanis are the people who sell their mother in Two Thousand dollars".

[patriotic9]

Don't forget that John Ashcroft is an EXTREME CONSERVATIVE RADICAL CHRISTIAN.

[pwrslm]

I would suggest, Patriot, that you know less about what truely is Christian as compared to the acts of men, as you do Islam.

Your mixing up a lot of stuff, giving credit where credit is not due, and ignoring a blatant threat to freedom.

In the real world, that means your opinion short circuits its self, because you dont have any idea what your talking about.

[patriotic9]

pwrslm
You have a full right to disagree with whatever I say but please come up with valid reasons to prove your point.If you'd be proven right,I'll accept that and change my point of views.
I know one thing for sure that we were attacked on 9/11 because the enemies of United States had decided to support the illegitimate and unjustified existance of Israel on the world map on the cost of American money,American lives and USA herself as Americans are GOD-NEGLECTED and the NON-AMERICAN EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE are GOD-CHOSEN,America which has given us every thing is an UNHOLY LAND and ISRAEL which can't survive without stealing our money is a HOLY LAND.Our constitution which separates CHURCH from STATE is UNHOLY,whereas the BIBLE which discriminates against Americans by not promising them a single penny while promising NON-AMERICAN GOD CHSOEN ENEMIES of the GOD'S ONLY SON,is HOLY.
I've seen thousands of Americans dying on 9/11 and don't wanna see million more to die for an UNJUST and RACIST GOD whose existance is not proven by any scientific evidence.

[jn122736]

Judging From his/her grammar and choice of words, patriotic9 may not be American born and raised. It is obvious that he/she is prone to overly emotional comments and responses. It is also fairly obvious that he/she is well read, and in this case, pretty close to being right.

To believe the unproven one must resort to radicalism to some degree; the stronger the belief the more radical the response. People who choose to become suicide bombers, themselves, are far stronger believers in their faith than most Christians or Jews.

Being a strong believer does not make one right or wrong but to UNEQUIVOCALLY assert that religious faith as fact, is very offensive to those not of that faith.

In any debate, all faith based (religious) statements or comments should always be qualified/stated as such.

Filthy barbarian uncivilized Afghan swines are behind the attacks. These Afghans will sell their mother for $5 as long as its US dollars. Look how they sold their entire country to the US and NATO, while Pakistan does not allow a single soldier to come in. Pakistan fed these ungrateful Afghan dogs for 25 years and now they cannot stop biting Pakistan, just read some comments here.

The problem in Pakistan is Afghan barbarian refugees, Pakistan should kick these *** back to their cave civilization in Afghanistan, build a big fence and put mines in there.

Filthy backstabbing AFGHAN TERRORISTS are behind this crime. Pakistan needs to send each and every Afghani back to Afghanistan. Pakistan fed these ungrateful people for 25 years, this is how they are repaying us. Afghans will sell their own mother for $5 as long as its a US dollar, that is why it was so easy to invade and occupy their nation by the US and NATO.

[azman80]

You know, for all the terrorists that seem to be getting their hands on any kinds of explosives, maybe we need to start dropping sanctions on these countries that supply these materials like gun powder, C4, etc... and see if that reduces SOME of the suicide bombings. Most of these Muslim God believing M-80's are poor anyway, so if we could make it just a little bit harder for them, why not. And no offense to the legit, non-radical muslims that do live a normal life.

We tend to hold blame at crappy resturants, or crappy places to work, on crappy management. In a situation like this, the U.N (what ever is left of it) needs to hold these presidents or governments responsible for the crappy lifestyle these M-80's bring to the table and drop extreme sanctions on materials that can be used as explosives, no matter how common the item is. Or have ONE huge single depot where these M-80's can buy this stuff and have a test room for them to see if it works :) What a bunch of idiots these radicals are, maybe this is natures way of doing natural selection with the unfortunate way of taking innocent lives with the idiots.
