    The sooner someone nukes pakistan the better!!!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7430721.stm

    At least eight people have been killed in a car bomb attack near the Danish embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, according to reports.

    More than a dozen people were wounded. An embassy worker was among the dead and three were hurt, but no Danish citizens died, Danish officials said.

    The embassy building and several vehicles outside were damaged.

    It was not clear who carried out the attack, as Pakistan's main militant group recently declared a ceasefire.

    Pakistan's top Taleban warlord Baitullah Mehsud is in peace talks with the authorities in an attempt to end fighting in the country's north-west.

    Some Danish embassies around the world have been threatened since a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad was reprinted in Danish newspapers in February.

    The cartoons, deemed offensive to Islam, led to worldwide protests when they were first printed in September 2005.

    The BBC's Barbara Plett in Islamabad says suspicion for the attack has fallen on al-Qaeda, as the network's number two Ayman al-Zawahri denounced the cartoons in a recent video.

    Denmark also has 700 troops fighting the Taleban in neighbouring Afghanistan.


    Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller said the attack was "totally unacceptable".

    Only Pakistan? Surely a few other countries? Or are you in a particularly good mood today?

        Best line in the Yahoo report:

        "It was the second targeting of foreigners in less than three months in the usually tranquil Pakistani capital."

        Oh yes - tranquil Islamabad, a haven of peace & calm.
        Think I'll head out there for the summer hols.

          The Danish ministry of foreign affairs have changed their travel guidelines to Pakistan today. Now only travel that is necessary should be completed.

          This whole affair is quite en eye opener for many Danes. They did not know the world outside their bubble existed. Know they can learn about actions and consequences.

                Some might say bombing London can be justified on these grounds ...

                  So Brillo... Mr HAPPY MONDAY

                  So you quite openly condone the nuclear bombing of an independant state and the murder of millions of normal people who are going about their business.

                  Well Brillo you are obviously a model human being living in a civilised free country who go around stealing other people' oil, causing collateral damage (civilise people's code for killing innocents) and the list goes on!

                  Cause and effect!!!
