Musharraf aides resume talks on deal with Bhutto
Tue Sep 4, 2007 2:58PM BST

By Zeeshan Haider

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Representatives of Pakistan's embattled President Pervez Musharraf met former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in Dubai on Tuesday in an effort to end a deadlock on a power-sharing pact, officials said.

The talks focused on holding a parliamentary election later this year and on presidential powers to dismiss a government and dissolve parliament, a spokesman for Bhutto said.

"There has been some progress on the issue of holding of free and fair elections. There has been no progress on the issue about maintaining a balance in powers between the president and the parliament," said Bhutto spokesman Farhatullah Babar.

"The talks will continue."

Not after the boom, boom they wont, they are done neat and tidy and good to go, if the fool wants to live that is... nevermind that a lot of innocents got killed while accomplishing America's dirty work- but such is the CIA's hallmark.....Nevermind Hamid, he wouldn't consider taking a suppository a "inside job" either.

This is not the first bombing in Pakistan. How come the identities of suidical ass holes don't make public by media and government. It is unbelievable that these media sharks and strong Army can't find who are these people who blew up and where do they dissapear after terrorism in Capital??. We should make the killers a sign of disgrace and portray them as killers via national media. The government's lack of interest in finding the master minds behind these incidents is also to be blame.

Kaal Bhai thanks for ur concerns regarding MQM/Mohajirs but as long as Mushy needs MQM and thier votes..even if an MQM-leader or a PML_leader was in fact an indian agent..he would go scott free..unless supreme court had something to say about it...my feeling is that agents for foreign agencies do it because of money more than thier political affiliations

stuka

Not suspecting "Islamic fundamentalists," but some Pakistanis do tend to suspect some MQM sympathizers/mohajirs of being Indian/Hindu agents. So it's quite possible that after a bomb blast a poor mohajir is picked up from his home and announced as the Indian/Hindu agent.

In fact, MQM/Mohajirs being less "publicly Islamic" could only add to its/their woes in this regard.

Echo, Zeemax

The pattern of explosion in these pictures suggests even to the most naive observer that explosive was set off from inside the bus and not outside. If it were a suicide bomber (which I really doubt)then it must be a uniformed personnel otherwise how can a unwashed shalwaria as our resident mirasi usually puts it, be allowed to ride on the bus. And if it weren't a suicide bomber then someone was able to penetrate the green zone in rawalpindi.

probably no army in the world is hated more by their own countrymen than Pak army right now....this does not bode well for the country in general.

"
There tons on good Muslims who work with Hindus in India and Pakistan both. That is just a ridiculous argument. Indian history is replete with such cooperation. Are you denying the history? Second, RAW is an Indian agency or are you suggesting that it is a Hindu agency?"

This is Whack!!!

Can you give me one example of Islamic fundamentalists teaming up with India? RAW is an Indian Agency - not a Hindu one - agreed. But do the Islamic Fundamentalists look at it like that? Do they even look at India as an equal opportunity, all religion respecting nation that they would team up with that? And if fundamentalist Muslims do indeed look at India in such a good manner that they are willing to cooperate with it to undermine Pakistan - the homeland of Muslims - Pakistan is such a collossal failure that you might as well throw in the towel. I mean, you might as well accuse Zionist terrorists in Israel (which are very much real) of cooperating with Syria to blow up IDF employees. There is a limit to conspiracy theories dude.

Maybe, or maybe not. Who knows? Maybe he would have become a great leader. But that's all academic now. Isn't it?

Inna Lillah ... indeed.
