Fallout from the attack in Pakistan

It appears the protests have been primarily only in Bajur which is good news, but imagine this taking place with a crowd of 20,000.

Inayatur Rahman, a local pro-Taliban elder, said he had prepared a "squad of suicide bombers" to target Pakistani security forces in the same way that militants are attacking Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"We will carry out these suicide attacks soon," he said, asking the crowd if they approved the idea. The angry mob yelled back in unison, "Yes!"

The crowd railed against Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and President Bush. They chanted: "God is Great!" "Death to Bush! Death to Musharraf!" and "Anyone who is a friend of America is a traitor!"

Earlier, the Chief Pakistani Army spokesman made a statement praising US/Pakistani cooperation on the effort. "Sultan later contacted the AP to deny he had made the remarks." This is volatile, and moving.
