Pure Terrorism!

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Many killed in Pakistan bombing: "More than 30 people have been killed and dozens injured in a bomb attack on a religious procession in Pakistan's Punjab province, officials say.

The attack targeted Shia worshippers in the town of Dera Ghazi Khan.

They were leaving a mosque when the bomb went off. It is not clear who carried out the attack or whether it was the work of a suicide bomber.

Sectarian tensions in southern Punjab have in recent years been aggravated by the growing strength of Sunni Taleban."

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
