International The News (aka Jang) is reporting that five have been arrested for the failed assassination on President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan that occurred during the Lal Masjid stand-off. Some are members of “outlawed groups.” Which means Pakistani terror organizations, don’t get your hopes up that he has Ayman al Zawahiri  or something.

The attempt at the President came as his plane was on takeoff for a flood relief review mission to Balochistan. Large-caliber mounted machine guns were used for certain, and there were also reports of RPG”s or missiles as well.  After the attempt one of the assailants called Abdul Rahid Ghazi inside the Red Mosque, and told him he did it in support.

The Taliban’s latest recruit is a fourteen-year-old boy, sent to assassinate an Afgani provincial governor by Abdul Aziz. Truly all Taliban are power-crazed Djinn. story from Breitbart:

Rafiqullah, who goes by one name, told reporters that while attending a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan he and two other boys were separated from the rest of the students and trained to drive a car and made to watch videos of suicide bombers carrying out attacks.

The teenager said he walked across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border into Khost province, where a man named Abdul Aziz gave him a vest full of explosives. Rafiqullah said he told Aziz he was afraid of carrying out a suicide bombing, and Aziz pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him if he did not.

AL-QAEDA’S leadership secretly directed the Islamic militants whose armed revolt at the Red Mosque in Islamabad ended last week with more than 100 deaths after it was stormed by the Pakistan army.

According to senior intelligence officials, the troops who finally took control discovered letters from Osama Bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. They were written to Abdul Rashid Ghazi and Abdul Aziz, the brothers who ran the mosque and adjacent madrasah.

Government sources said up to 18 foreign fighters including Uzbeks, Egyptians and several Afghans had arrived weeks before the final shootout and set up firing ranges to teach students, including children, how to handle weapons.

All those people dead, so Zawahiri could stir the pot. SSG Commander Harroon ul Islam, dead for Pakistan, Abdul Rasheed Ghazi dead for Zawahiri.
