Hi, the article below should sum up the current Pakistani government's attempt to crack down on mullahs and fundamentalists. The last line says it all. How pathetic and embarrassing. This country needs a Kim Jong-Il or Uncle Joe (Stalin) to clean these fundamentalists out and establish proper law and order there.
I also find it laughable that the current Pakistani administration still asks for respect in the international community, when their own house is such a mess. Do you honestly think they will get foreign investment or a civilian nuclear deal with incidents like this?

KARACHI: Gangs of gunmen armed to the teeth abetted by a hopping-mad mob hemmed in the security personnel conducting a search/arrest operation in the Katti Pahari area of Orangi Town and held them hostage until the intervention of higher authorities, Geo News reported.
Earlier, Rangers and police, laid siege to a seminary/mosque in the Katti Kahari area after they received a lead on the militants involved in a recent hand grenade attack as well as a key Taliban commander Mulla Akbar suspected to be hiding there.
Even before they have launched the search operation, unknown assailants perched at vantage points opened fire at them. Under attack, the police did return fire but were soon put at a disadvantage by a raging mob of local residents, which kept the police at bay by storming them with stones.
Hulking mobsters stampeded at least 22 police including an SHO into a mosque and held them hostage there for near two hours. They got new leases on their lives after higher authorities brokered a truce with the aggressors.
No arrests were made.
