Taliban Hit Pakistan Town That Fought Back - NYTimes.com

"A suicide car bomber set off an explosion at a school in Shalbandi that was serving as a polling place, as voters lined up to elect a representative to the National Assembly. More than 30 people were killed and more than two dozen wounded, according to local political and security officials. Children and several policemen were among the dead." This was a reprisal for a posse from Shalbandi that earlier had hunted down and killed several Taliban fighters for murdering eight local policemen.
Meanwhile in Gaza Egyptian border guards have fired upon Palestinians fleeing Israeli assaults on Hamas according to The Press Association. "At least 300 Egyptian border guards have been rushed to the area to reseal the border, the official added on condition on anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press. A resident of the Gaza Strip side of the border, Fida Kishta, said that Egyptian border guards opened fire to drive back the Palestinians."
These Palestinians in Gaza originated in Egypt a few generations ago and the Taliban, a creation of the Pakistani security services, are murdering their coreligionists with great alacrity. Such is the pathology of the Religion of Peace.
