Send them to India since India is such a great Afghan friend.

whenever my family or relatives 've been to afghanistan they 've been welcomed very warmly. samewise millions of pathans still got family on other side of the border who visit afghanistan very often without any trouble. to me 'nd many other pakistani pathans afghanistan is our second home becuz thats how afghans 've treated me 'nd all those millions of pathans who went there. we pathans 've been always welcomed in afghanistan 'nd therefore I welcome any of my fellow pathan from afghanistan to nwfp. that doesnt change that we 're patriotic pakistanis 'nd they 're patriotic afghans, but regurarely pakistanis or afghans trained in pakistan 're being caught in afghanistan as well but I cant remember I have heard or seen any afghan hate on us pathans. if afghanistan is our second home then nwfp is their second home, as we pathans wud say: lar aw bar

The Hindu : News / International : Police claim to have foiled terror attack on Islamabad, 2 held

Police in the Pakistani capital on Friday claimed to have foiled a possible terrorist attack by arresting two men with suicide jackets, grenades and pistols, hours after a series of audacious assaults in the eastern city of Lahore.

The two suspected terrorists were arrested on the outskirts of Islamabad at 9.15 pm on Thursday night while they were trying to sneak into the city on motorcycles to hit their targets, police said.

Another terrorist managed to escape with explosives. A contingent of police and paramilitary troops cordoned off the area and launched a search for him.

Besides the suicide jackets and grenades, police also seized detonators and pellets from the arrested men. The men — identified as Zain alias Mubashar Mehboob, 18, and Abdullah alias Abdul Hafiz, 35 — are now being interrogated by the Criminal Investigation Department. Zain was wearing a suicide jacket when he was caught.

Inspector General of Police Syed Kaleem Imam said there were reports that terrorists were trying to enter Islamabad to hit targets. “We are alert and prepared to counter acts of terrorism,” he said.

Police stepped up checking of vehicles and people at dozens of check posts set up across Islamabad. The men were arrested after three groups of terrorists attacked law enforcement facilities in Lahore, killing 18 people. Ten attackers were also killed. Another 12 people died in bombings in Kohat and Peshawar in northwest Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department in Islamabad has drawn up a list of 27 “highly dangerous” and “most wanted” terrorists who have facilitated or carried out several high-profile attacks in the federal capital.

Among them are members of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Islami, Qari Hussain group of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and the “Ghazi Force”, named after Lal Masjid deputy prayer leader Ghazi Abdul Rashid, who was killed in July 2007 during a military operation against extremists holed up in the radical mosque.

The list names Syed Ibraruddin of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Rana Mohammad Ishfaq and Mohammad Imran as the terrorists who facilitated last year’s suicide car bomb attack on the Marriott Hotel that killed nearly 60 people.

The list also includes names of militant commanders who are close associates of slain Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud and members of banned Shia and Sunni extremist groups, Dawn News channel reported.

Defeated terrorists from tribal areas could move to other cities: Mirza​

Friday, October 16, 2009
Karachi

Terrorists who were defeated in the operation in the tribal areas could move to other parts of the country for shelter and to reorganise; the police should therefore not only cooperate with citizens but also strengthen their intelligence network, Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulfiqar Ali Mirza said on Thursday.

He directed the police to hold meetings with people at the district-, Taluka- and police station-levels, and to form special committees to collect the data of tenants and house owners for police records.

The minister said that the police, in their respective areas, should direct estate agents and house owners to not give houses on rent without verification.

Dr Mirza directed police officials to ensure a transparent system for receiving complaints from citizens at the police helpline (15), besides devising a call list of complainant to keep a check on police officials.

He directed citizens to ensure the registration of drivers, maids, sweepers and other people working in their houses or localities with the police. The home minister also condemned the terrorist attack in Lahore and expressed grief over the loss of lives.
