In the never ending Jihad, the attempt on Benazir Bhutto’s life was probably a well calculated step in a strategic thrust to take Pakistan.

Benazir Bhutto, former premier and chairwoman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), said on Friday the suicidal blasts during her homecoming parade on Thursday were “an attack on democracy, and an attack on the very unity and integrity of Pakistan.”

As Mark Steyn writes in America Alone, the Jihadis think globally but act locally. They open a new front every day. Why? Because they have the manpower.

Yesterday in Gaza, the IDF killed terrorists and the Jihadis killed each other.

Two Islamic Jihad terrorists were killed in Gaza Saturday. PA sources claim IDF naval forces killed them.

Conflicting PA claims said that one of the men was an “innocent fisherman” and that “both were lifeguards.”

Earlier Saturday, IDF soldiers spotted three terrorists approaching the security fence in northern Gaza. Troops opened fore, wounding two terrorists in Beit Lahiyah. At least one of the men was from Fatahs Al-Aksa Brigades terrorist group, under the authority of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Dozens of mortar shells were fired by Gaza terrorists over the weekend. Three crossed over the Gaza security fence. No injuries were reported.

At least two PA Arab were killed and 21 wounded in fighting between Hamas and and a Fatah-loyal Gaza clan over the weekend.

One of the dead was a 13-year-old who was caught in the crossfire, according to local reports. His father was also wounded.

In the Philippines, militants blew up a shopping mall, killing nine.

Military explosives were used in a huge bomb blast at a Manila shopping mall that left nine dead and 113 injured, Philippine police said on Saturday.

Officials and witnesses said the explosion left an eight-meter (26-foot) wide crater on the ground floor and blew a hole through the roof on the second floor.

Islamic militants were blamed for the bombing of a bus near the Glorietta mall that killed four people on Valentine’s Day in February 2005.

Militants also firebombed a ferry in Manila Bay the previous year, killing more than 100 people in the country’s worst terrorist attack.

In Baluchistan, a car bomb killed four.

A car-bomb killed four people and wounded six on Saturday in the gas-rich southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan, where militants have for decades been fighting for autonomy, police said.

“There was a blast in a car which hit a van next to it causing the casualties,” said police official Najam Tireen in Dera Bugti district.

The beat goes on.
