CNN.com - Suspected terrorists arrested in Pakistan - Sep. 20, 2002

Yes, Pakistan is a fun place. It does seem like a lot of cells are getting broken up recently. Maybe this is some sort of chain reaction -- the first group tells on the second, which tells on the third -- or maybe it's a coincidence. This group is allegedly (who knows if there's any actual evidence) behind the attempted assassination of Musharraf and at least two attacks on Western targets -- the bombings of an American consulate and a Sheraton hotel, both in Karachi. I am guessing that their group ("Harkat Ul Mujahideen Al-Almi") is behind the other attacks on Westerners in Pakistan.

Pakistan also identified two al-Qaeda men killed in the raid that captured Ramzi Binalshibh last week. Both were Yemeni. For some reason, nobody's trying to stop the flow of terrorists from Yemen, even the people who want us to focus on Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq.
