PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Pakistani militant commander, Qari Zafar, who was allegedly involved in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Karachi on March 2, 2002, was killed by an explosive in North Waziristan a few days ago.
The United States had announced $5 million award for his capture. Zafar belonged to Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and was wanted by the government for several terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including masterminding the Marriott Hotel bombing.
His close aides confirmed he was killed as he touched some explosives dumped inside his guesthouse. Militant sources said a meeting of Punjabi Taliban was in progress in North Waziristan to choose his replacement.



How many times do I have to tell you kids....don't play with fireworks!
Israelis and quasi-Israelis (nutter Christian fundamentalists) all over this article like rabid dogs. The real issue is Pakistan hatred because it is a Muslim nuclear power. The Israelis and quasi-Israelis cant stand it, so they come in droves like rabid Hyenas ranting and raving.
Kharma's a bitch
Learn how to spell, Palin loving kindergarten reject. Karma. 911 was your karma, remember?
SacramentoMike!!! If you hate America so much why are you mooching off of our WORLDS BEST COUNTRY by living in Sacramento California??? Kind of a hypicrite aren't you??? Get out of our country you little chicken s&%# piece of corn filled crap!!!
SacMike, roll into a corner in that Fairy state of yours and die
Which one is the best Country in the world and what research did you do to come to that conclusion?
Here's another hateful Tea Partier sounding off using that same Tea Party lingo!
lol --- Canada has the ugliest chicks, and hope you dont get cancer or need a transplant in canada then youre @!$%#ed.
republicans sold america
youre just jealous because your country has the ugliest chicks, no technology , no real music, no hollywood, and your play money is not worth anything anymore. and your country has sold out to the french and the queen and the muslims. and you are a disarmed nation
If I Google "best country to live in", I can get many different opinions and news clips. So yours is nothing more than an opinion sir.
Sounds like you're unhappy with your situation. All I can tell you is, you have to make the most out of where you live. I wouldn't be any better off in Canada or Norway or anyplace else. I'm pretty happy and I hope things get better for you.
Israeli patriot Bjorn, fake name, Israeli pretender. Go back where you came from.
Funny as it sounds right winger, tea partier and red neck don't seem to bother people with conservative belief, however you left wingers hide and recant at the term liberal. You can't even face the rubbish that you and your party truly are. The American people should see this and vote accordingly at their next chance. Now go ahead with name calling it only helps the conservatives.
ha ha ha !
Killer got what the coward deserved
Yeah and if we have any idea where his replacement is being discussed, we need to kill them too!
American war criminal killer troops should get what the cowards deserve
what i deserve is a chance to kill you
I hope it was an IED that we provided to someone to place in his guesthouse and are returning the favor by terrorizing the terrorists with their own methods so that it causes them to pause in every action they take.
I hope we didn't pay 5 million dollars just to kill this scum! We're BROKE!
ha ha ha what a tard!
what a tard ha ha ha !
I love this kind of story! worthless bunch of devils they are breathing our air!
Hmph, talk about irony...I guess he's not wanted any longer.
...and instead of 72 virgins in heaven, he's finding out that he is only getting one 72 -yo virgin...
How does killing one little cockroach alter the infestation? If you see one, there's another 100 in the woodwork.
It's called a good start.
The irony! Beautiful! Funniest thing I've heard in a while.
American cockroaches, youre right, cant get rid of them.
We just want to get rid of you SacramentPuke
oops ha ha ha he come undone
Sounds like a whole lot of disinformation to me. Where is the body, why hasn't there been an official government report released on his death? Where did this story originate? Too many unanswered questions to get real excited yet.
You don't really believe that he blew himself up accidentally, do you? How many times have they died and later up show alive and kicking? I won't believe it until they have his head stuck on a pole...and a few of his friends too!
I give up, how many times?
To bad that we can't just use a gas bomb like we use on the cockroaches. You know there is something to be said for chemical weapons. The way I see it is that if you use a little "RAID" it gets into all those cracks and crevices where the slimy little cockroaches are gathering.
Stan talks like an Israeli.
hmmm. Every one of you believes this man was killed. While "touching" explosives. Why would HE do that as a commander? What better way for a hunted man to get out of the game than to declare his own death- through his "close associates" wasn't it?
Rock...They ain't too smart nohow...
Oops!...oh, well.
Bahahahahahahaha!
I believe it's called retributive justice and it's best served upon cowards such as Zafar!
Now, if only the 'rest of 'em' were that stupid!
911 was retribution for the Beirut bombing. Yes the rest of you are stupid.
If you really believe that, you must be a little "simple"! (I'm being polite)
Islamic terrorists (Hezbollah) already killed 299 US and french servicemen in 1983...BEFORE the USS New Jersey shelled Bekka Valley!
While the majority of 9/11 hijackers were shia from Saudi Arabia, civilians killed by New Jersey's shelling were sunnis and druze. Personally, I don't believe the shia 'like' the sunnis or the druze that much to defend them.
So, in your demented way of thinking, I guess you believe that all of the following, not counting 9/11 "was retribution for the Beirut bombing: (Keep believing your crap...if it keeps you happy)
First of all, 'retribution' is punishment. The Beirut bombing was an attack on America, so to say that 9/11 was retribution for an attack on us doesn't make much sense...
Also, those that carried out the bombings in question were hardly the same group. The Beirut bunch were Shiʿa, 9/11 bunch were Sunni.
There seem to be a few holes in your theory...
hell ! just nuke the whole middle east . that will take care of 90% of the idiots.
Eh, whatever. What would SacramentoMike be doing right now if he wasn't posting mindless tripe on an American web site using American technology? Nailing a goat by candlelight. Who cares what he posts. Probably some sniveling little white kid who got beat up twice today using his mom's laptop anyway.
Bunch of pissed off psycho evangelists and Israelis pretending to be Americans on this page.
Here's another field day for the right-wing politicians in Washington!They must be tickled pink by now.This is getting repulsive.
Guessa the FBI should get a copy of your post-- sounds like you help the terrorists.
Bri the terrorists were financed and helped by Reagan and the CIA. Ive seen the pictures of Reagan with the Taliban. Please report Reagan and the CIA to the FBI.
We should send a MOAB to the meeting.
guess what comes around goes around even in the bomb business
911 came around from the Beirut bombing by the USS New Jersey, youre right.
Sacramento Mike-Keep writing, we enjoy you making a fool of yourself!
Sacramento mike
shut up just because you cant get out of the ghetto - I bet mexico would take you in
Thompson and kardackk, you two whine like losers. I dont see the other side crying. Please dont embarass us by pretending to be on our team.
dude - that doesnt make any sense - what team are yu on
what comes around, goes around. Rot in HELL, Qari Zafar !!!
Here's another shining example of that right-wing lynch mob mentality.This is what makes the right-wing thugs in Washington very happy indeed as well as the Tea Partiers.
Another Muslim Terror lover. Hmmm, another trip to the FBI for you? Bet you been there before.
Bri-1732728. You sound like another Tea Partier with all that hate for anything that's decent like Academic freedom among other things.I expect that your candidates will win bigtime in this fall's elections and this country will suffer more economic hardship as well as war.
daniel you must be a demo lover I gather from your comments hope you enjoy all your benefits that you get from us in the working class I take it you dont have a job or pay taxes or you just love footing the bill for other because they are less fortunate than us I would rather have the money for myself versus helping others that just want hand outs and do nothing to help themself.
It certainly helps the right when you elect liberal idiots as Americans did during 2008. They may not have liked Bush, but they certainly did not want the fanatical loss of freedoms and imposed policy being forced upon us by you left wing cowards.
Why is it difficult for some close-minded simpletons here to believe that this guy is really dead? I mean, seriously, have the terrorists turned you all into such dumb f***'s that you've began to believe they're invisible and we simply can't kill them? Why should we need to stick his skull on a pole for some of you to believe they're really dead? They're still humans, you know, and when you shoot them, they still die...
Agree with Sam Barrientes , these guys have more lives than a cat !
Huh? Daniel - I don't understand your comment. What do "right wing politicians" have to do with this? Please explain.
Weren't Hitler,Hirohito and Mussolini right-wing politicians?If you ever study history,you'll begin to understand.In fact,anybody who ever finished High School should know what a right-wing politician is.
Isn't Stalin, kim jong II , and every Communist country are Left wing politicians --- but then again since you dont have a job you think the wealthy should hand everything over to you. Why dont you get off the pipe and do something about it like get a job.
Daniel you sound extremely nervous. You think maybe the bad policies being forced upon Americans by your ULTRA LIBERAL WASTE party are finally getting people to sit down and think of the consequences of their last votes in 2008. By the way all your boys: Hitler,etc,etc had ideals more closely adhered to by your left winger DUMBOCRAT party in charge now. Get schooled you seem awfully naive.
...and another one bites the dust....
