Pakistani lawyers: "United States of Al Qaeda, Allah willing"

the Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) and the Lahore Bar
Association (LBA) held their general house meetings and emerged from
the High Court building and Aiwan-e-Adl to merge at GPO Chowk, where

a phenomenon, which was gaining momentum and support due to the anti-
peace policies favoured by the US.
Once again, terrorism is a byproduct of stubborn infidels.

(PkMAP) activists chanted slogans against the Pakistan People’s Party
Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, however, the usual chant of “Go
Musharraf Go” was
The great Mussharaf knew about these deviants. that is why he
shitcanned them. the front on the war in terror is in Pakistan because
that is where the nukes are and that is what ALKADA wants. WAKE UP!
