Pakistani Arrests in attack on school girl

| October 12, 2012

WOW…They actually did something?

This comes as a welcome surprise I’m sure for the family members of the victims and hopefully the female population of Pakistan. Attacks of this nature are obviously egregious and should never take place but, are not isolated to this nation, or this region. Hopefully they’ll use some capital punishment but I’m not holding my breath.

Police in Pakistan say they have arrested two suspects in the shooting of a 14-year-old girl and are looking for a third who is being called the mastermind of the attack, NBC News reports.

NBC News quotes police in the volatile Swat Valley area, where Malala Yousafzai was shot while leaving school on Tuesday In Mingora, as saying the suspects are 17 and 22 years of age.

The pair claim that a man named “Attaulah” is the mastermind of the attack and remains at large.

Big surprise here;

In another development, Taliban spokesman, Sirajuddin Ahmad, says Malala and her family had been warned three times — as recently as last week — before the militants took a decision to execute the 14-year-old, the AP reports.

Thanks for the warnings…dick.

Perhaps her family can be granted asylum and moved to the United States. While it doesn’t solve the larger problems in her nation it solves them for her for now. The face of change in that part of the world will belong to women if change is ever to come, the men are not capable of producing any change in the last couple of millennia.

You’re absolutely right, VOV. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated because she was bringing change to Pakistan. For other reasons, too, but mostly because of the changes she brought, she was a threat to a grindingly mired-in-the-mud mindset.

For some reason, I picture the prefect of police in Casablanca “rounding up the usual suspects”.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship?

On the 5PM news, the report is that Malala is on a respirator and is critical.

The video of her shows her spattered with small shrapnel marks. Does that mean the shooters were using some kind of fragging ammo?

What is amazing is 14 year old girls have bigger balls than the so called men. What a country.

Perhaps someone should warn Sirajuddin Ahmad 3 times?

Only 3 times.

This little girl has shown what TRUE COURAGE is.

The taliban has shown what TRUE COWARDICE is.

The taliban, jihadists and islamists have proven that they are dogs and islam is a gutter religion.
