Charlie's Angels Strike Again



Charlie's Angels of the "land of pure" are back in action. Good luck with their "noble" mission!! Let's see how His Enlightened Moderation restores "writ of the state" right under his nose.


The women who led Tuesday night's raid near the city centre included teachers and students incensed, the school says, by reports the house was being used for immoral purposes.

They were later joined by male colleagues from the men's section of the madrassa.
When the alleged brothel's owner refused to shut the building, the raiding party forcibly shut it themselves and took the woman, her daughter and daughter-in-law back to the madrassa where they are still being held.
Initially the police were reluctant to step in to rescue the woman, but later registered a case and arrested two female teachers of the school.
But students then kidnapped two policemen from a nearby patrol. They too are being held in the madrassa and were allowed to speak to reporters.


Meanwhile, cities in further north have started bearing the fruits of so-called "peace deals" with Taliban, as this report seems to suggest:
Hundreds of heavily-armed militants have attacked security forces in north-west Pakistan, officials say. Up to 25 militants died, police said, along with a soldier and a civilian in the town of Tank near South Waziristan in the troubled Afghan border area. Security posts and property were said to have been attacked by militants with rockets in a seven-hour onslaught. Armed men also seized the headmaster of a school, where two people died when police and militants clashed on Monday.
