I was looking for an international news article to bring to my Debate class, and I ran across this.

Quote:
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has arrested up to 10 al Qaeda suspects, including two Egyptians, suspected of planning major suicide attacks against the government and the U.S. embassy earlier this month, ministers said Saturday.



Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the targets included the presidency, the military residence of President Pervez Musharraf, the U.S. embassy, the office of the chief minister of Punjab province, and the national convention center.


What I find strange is the two Egyptians they have with them that are supposedly the 'key elements' to their plan.

I'm glad they caught the one directed at the U.S. embassy, but i wish they would at least occasionally catch some of the other bomb attempts that happen there literally every other day, usually with great sucess.

Egyptions get credit for some of the most militant islamists of all time outside of Iran and Saudia arabia. hell, most of the core members of Al-qaida that aren't Saudi are egyption.

Yet, oddly, Egypt's a pretty safe place for American's to visit. Safer than France.
