More Rockets in Pakistan
This getting curious. Two more rockets have been found in Islamabad, these aimed at the ISI headquarters. These follow on the two that were found Thursday 'aimed at the parliament.'
But something weird is going on. 1) No one seems particularly alarmed. 2) There were (now dismissed) reports that these are part of some exercise. 3) A new statement on the rockets found Thursday is that they were wired to a mobile phone, but "were not aimed at a specific target."
Then you've got the extreme security measures around Musharraf, and a 'mysterious explosion' near, but a safe distance from, Musharraf's residence.
I don't know exactly what's going on, but there does seem to be a remarkable lack of alarm if all this is real. If you like a mystery...

Thanks Mike, all I have been hearing about is Foley, I didn't know about this. Do you think there is a coup d’état in the offing?

I have no idea what's going on. In the past when the threats were real, like the Musharraf assassination attempts, the Pakistani leadership went wild. And this, remote fire rockets near the capitol and the ISI, they seem so blase'.
I'm wondering if these are a message of some type. I'm wondering if there's some more back room negotiations going on between Musharraf and one of the more violent groups, and they placed these to send a message/threat. A way of saying we can reach you.
(Or could it be Pak government creating cover for Musharraf? He got blasted for his accomodations during his US-Britain trip. Could this be something he could point to saying "we're doing all we can?")
I really have no idea what's going on, and we may never know, but the spidey-sense is telling me that there's something indirect we're not seeing behind this story.
