Wrong move
Pakistan commandos raided the al-Qaeda militants holding Chinese hostages in Pakistan after hearing gunfire from the compound. Unfortunately Wang Peng, a surveyor on the hydro-electric dam project, was killed in the raid. Quick note to al-Qaeda: you've now pissed off the Chinese. Not a good move on your part. They are not as "constrained" in their freedom of action should they fully join the war on terror. UPDATE: China is send a team to investigate and express condolences. Dare I suggest there may be other "teams" on the way? posted by Simon on 10.15.04 at 10:39 AM in the

I don't think so. of-course there will be some face saving "investigations". china is always very very pragmatic with these things. Remember the embassy bombing in Serbia or the fighter pilot who hit the American spy plane. They will probably get more security from the Pakistanis and continue doing what they are doing. I doubt they would want to embarrass Pakistan - a terrorist today will be a freedom fighter tomorrow if he heads to Kashmir. And talking about Al-Qaeda, China was very happy once negotiating mining contracts with the Taliban. posted by: preetam rai on 10.18.04 at 03:26 AM [permalink]Oh uh looks like al quedas got the dragon pissed off and ho boy look out al queda this could be their comeupants holy blunders batman it looks like the dragons going be eating terrorists tonight posted by: killdeer on 10.18.04 at 11:11 PM [permalink] |
