Pakistan....

1.Musharefe has had 2 assination attempts on his life in the past month or so.

2. He has made an agreement with the fundlmentalists to step down from command of the army next year. While retaining the Presidency.

3. During a speech he made to the Pakistani parliment last week he was booed by the fundlementalist faction.

4. He is making arrests of people connected with Al Queada, who Musharefe claims were behind the assination attempts.

5. He is entering negioations with India over Kashmir. Which is not making the fundlmentalist factions happy.


It is thought that Bin Laden is in the NW Terrritory of Pakistan, being protected by tribal forces who revere him. It is known that various elements of the Pakistani Intelligence agencies have close ties to the Taliban, and have fudlementalist leanings. Even the most senior of pakistani Nuclear Scientists have had discussions with the Taliban and Bin Laden. The pakistani street is decidely anti USA and pro Bin Laden.

So Musharef has considerable Political pressure being put on him, it could come to the point of critical mass and he is over thrown. The very least that would happen is that Pakistan would be in chaos politically. Then whose hands do the Nuclear aresnal fall into.


It is likely that Bin Laden is funding the fundlementalist faction in Pakistan with the hopes of overthrowing Musharefe and installing an Islamic government that would be favorable to his aims.

So boyz keep your eyes on developments outa Pakistan, cause thats where the real action is happening.
