From our This Is Why You're Poor Department: "Pakistan: UN office attack is 'warning' about upcoming military operation," from AdnKronos International, October 5:
Islamabad, 5 October (AKI) - By Syed Saleem Shahzad - At least four people died and five others were injured on Monday after a suicide attacker blew up his explosives at the offices of the United Nations World Food Programme in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
Those killed in the blast include two Pakistani women identified as Farzana Barkat, an office assistant and Gulrukh Tahir, a receptionist as well as Boton Ahmed Ali, an Iraqi national and information and communication technology officer.
Pakistani national Abid Rehman, a senior finance assistance was also killed in the blast. All are WFP staff members.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, which appears to be a warning to the government about an upcoming military operation in the lawless South Waziristan tribal area in northwest Pakistan.
The blast took place outside the heavily fortified WFP offices in a residential area of the city near the home of Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari.
The deputy Executive Director of WFP, Amir Abdulla, sent his condolences to the families of the victims, describing it as "a terrible tragedy for WFP, and for the whole humanitarian community in Pakistan."
"I wish to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of those dedicated WFP staff members who were killed or injured in this terrible attack," said WFP Executive Director, Josette Sheeran.
The neighbourhood has already been identified as a high-risk area after Pakistani interior minister Rahman Malik recently confirmed that it is home to almost all of the 200 Americans currently living in Islamabad.
Uh, thanks, buddy.
Last week, militants leaders in South Waziristan unanimously agreed on retaliation against any military operation in the area and added that the country's main cities would be targeted.
Pakistani security forces had earlier rejected proposals to mount an operation in the South Waziristan region.
However, during Zardari's recent visit to New York for the annual UN General Assembly meeting, there was renewed pressure from the United States for Pakistan to support the fight against terrorism and an accompanying aid package.
The aid package - called the Kerry Lugar bill and which is worth 1.5 billion dollars annually for the next 5 years - is conditional on Pakistan's support for the 'war on terror'.
Soon after Zardari's departure on 28 September from New York, he tasked the director general of Pakistan's ISI military intelligence agency, Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha, with coordinating the South Waziristan operation with US security organisations.
As soon as Zardari reached Islamabad, the spokesperson for Pakistan's armed forces, Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, said the military operation would be launched "in the near future". Abbas did not specify a date.
As part of an emergency relief programme, WFP has been providing vital food assistance to as many as 2 million Pakistani civilians displaced by conflict in the troubled Swat Valley district in North West Frontier Province....
I get tired of the one-sidedness on Jihadwatch. There are many wonderfully true things in the Quran:
"O unbelievers! I worship not that which you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship. ... To you your Way, and to me my way."
Democracy, charity, technology, freedom, human dignity, the Golden Rule, art, laughter. DRAW THE LINE and let the Religion of Plunder and Rage feed on itself. Of course the results will be shockingly horrible but it will be the best kind of Biblical retribution for true evil.
The bomber's a true follower of islam. He did not care about innocents dying or good people dying or youngsters in their prime dying. He did not bother to consider that these people were there to help feed fellow human beings. All this was irrelevant in his blind, unthinking, self-righteous hatred of the Kuffar. Alla's morality as propounded in the Koran is different from ordinary human morality.
Islamic Homicide/Suicide Bombers always remind me of the "slay and be slain" stipulation in the Qur'an:
Qur'an 9:111: "Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in his cause, and slay and are slain."
"Allah" = Mohamet, the Warlord.
and
"World minus Qur'an = World minus Islamic Jihad (Terrorism).
Two very simple formulas.

Stop all aid to moslem states and watch as they collapse into civil war.
They don't deserve aid that they ascribe to the will of allah.
Suicide murder at UN's World Foods program? What can you expect from those murderous Allah Akhbars but to kill those whose humanitarian efforts is an affront to their "religion of peace"? I'd let them win this hand, and pull out. Let their Allah take care of them, the losers.
Our career slugs working hard to give Pakistan another 1.5 billion. Allah quickly destroys aid from Infidels - like Vietnam, Kerry just doesn't get it! Stop the aid we have our own citizens we can help - though some of them are lazy bastards and don't deserve it.
1.5 billion per year for the next five years?? That's 7.5 billion!! What were the people who came up with the Kerry Lugar bill thinking?? Why should we be paying an Islamic country to fight terrorism when we know that most of that money will be going to the terrorists? If there was any sanity in the world, we should be demanding that Pakistan and all the other Islamic countries in the world pay us to fight the terrorism that they sponsor. Giving money to Pakistan to fight terrorism is like giving money to a hit man to kill you.
Sociopaths do things that normal people consider crazy or ill-advised. This is simply another example.
Kufr is kufr...Allan does not discriminate...aid workers are not immune...'Fight them until...'Quran 8:39, does not mean some kufr some of the time, it means fight them all, all of the time...

I have to agree with two things
Frist is the title is perfect
This is why Muslim countries are poor
they blow up and destroy anthing that would help their own people get out of their misery
Second is the fact that in the lawless region
the government handed it over to the taliban
and the people began to flee in mass numbers..
This is why you cannot elect a weal liberal
during a time of war..
For the liberal will always sell out his entire country
because he is spineless..
I wish so damned wish i could be in the army again..
I would gladly go to afghanist and dig a ditch for our boys..
anything to get off of my fat ugly ass
I am sick to death of sitting around weak kneeded liberals.

For those who have any doubt about whether the bastards that did this were following the letter and spirit of mohammedan law, consider this ...
... these people hate us so much, and regard us with such contempt, that taking food from our hands is considered a corruption that must be eliminated, even at the cost of hunger for their people.
There. Does that make you feel better?
Well, if only the muslims would use at least some of their dawa (charity) money for helping their own poor, rather than blowing up infidels all day, they would not need us Christians and Post-Christians to come to their sacred land to feed them, in the first place.
Well, Nightlight, that is the liberal solution to any problem--throw bags of our money at it and hope such resolves the matter. We wouldn't want to send a fleet of B-2's dropping nutron bombs onto them. No, such an attack would be unsightly and certainly not "PC." We won't speak to these savages in the only language they understand--not "freedom" but unbridled violence. No, we will just shower them with our hard earned money, build them a few schools, and then we will hope they come to "like" us.
You know, they are only fighting against the inujustice they suffered during colonialism under those white homophobic men (also known as Christians). That was about sixty years ago, so maybe another decade or two will allow us to witness the benefits of the religion that allegedly invented algebra [sic]. It's not like the muslims have been invading and destroying native cultures thereof since their religion's inception in the seventh century. Yes, more money so that the president and generals of Krapistan can build more golden palaces.
Algebra was needed to accurately estimate the Death toll with Islams spread.

He blew up charitable people *handing out food aid* to his own co-religionists...
It's rare, but sometimes words fail me...

That's why they stole it from Indians
After this attack, the World Food Program would be completely justified in leaving Pakistan altogether, without giving either explanations or apologies.
Just leave.
End the jizya.

as I observe the habitual conduct of so very many denizens of Dar al Islam, I am rather reminded of a passage from the writings of Dorothy L Sayers, British novelist and translator of Dante, which was quoted in our parish 'pew sheet' two Sundays ago:
"The Joy of Misery.
"Love for anything is not news (to journalists) except in Heaven - and that is why [Dante's] Inferno is so full of people angrily beating and biting one another - they *like* that sort of thing. They *want* to be cross and miserable. They *enjoy* chewing things to pieces, the little nasties!
"It must be part of the frustration of Hell that there is nothing good there to chew up - the good is beyond their reach; they can only chew one another".
[from the anthology 'Dorothy L Sayers - A Careless Rage For Life'].

This update makes it clear that the Taliban attacked the U.N. compound because it had infidels in it. There was not even an attempt to link it to any nefarious activity. It would be wise to remember this when one hears calls for tolerance and mutual co-existence. One does not even get the threefold choice with the Taliban.
Americans did not see this coming when their POTUS made Pakistan an 'ally' in the phony 'war-on-terror'. But then, Americans did not see their POTUS lying about 'Jobs Ameicans do not take', leading to the highest unemployment in 30 years. All this while covering for the Saudi Arabia, where 9/11 hijackers came from:
http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/staff_statement_1.pdf
As for Pakistan, KSM, the mastermind of 9/11 slaughtered Daniel Pearl around Karachi, and POTUS makes Pakistan, an ally, if Americans can now see the irony, they couldn't then.
There is nothing any of us can say here which could better demonstrate to the world the utter moral corruption of the Islamists than this despicable act. Of course, the thousands of other similarly despicable acts they have been responsible for should have already shown this moral corruption to the world. However, there will still be those who conveniently ignore the magnitude of these acts and focus on Guantanamo etc. instead, drawing some sort of ridiculous moral equivalent.
From the article: " the troubled Swat Valley district in North West Frontier Province."
'Troubled', in reports of this kind, being - like 'restive' and 'volatile' - the epithet of choice for regions that might most accurately be described as 'jihad-wracked'.
