Day nineteen developments

A high strung Pakistan was witness to another round of anti-US sentiments with more than 2000 mourners, who had come to attend the funeral of top Harkat-ul-Mujahideen commander Farooq killed in Kabul by US raids, baying for revenge and wanting the ouster of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf (Full Story), while Pakistani authorities took two top nuclear scientist into custody to probe their alleged links with the Taleban, amidst fears that the Islamic militia might have access to radioactive material (Full Story).

Continuing the relentless pounding of Afghanistan, US jets again bombed Kabul, amidst reports that the Taleban for the first time since the attacks began retaliated by firing surface-to-air missile at the jets (Full Story), even as US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted that catching Osama might not be as easy as thought earlier (Full Story), at the same time asserting the Taleban and Al Qaeda will be wiped out (Full Story). Echoing Rumsfeld's thoughts on Osama, but in a different vein, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he would prefer that Osama be killed in the battlefield, than be brought to trial (Full Story).

Amidst reports of Pakistani tribesmen amassing at the Afghan border, ready to move in at the Taleban's notice (Full Story), Pakistan decided to intensify its crackdown on fundamentalist elements with President Pervez Musharraf ordering the whip to used on pro-Taleban militant groups (Full Story). Seemingly applauding Musharraf's decision, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Musharraf wants to construct schools in place of madrassas (Full Story), while at the same time administering a slight rap on the wrist by saying Pakistan can't foist their regime on Afghanistan (Full Story).

In US, the anthrax scare hit hyperbolic levels with close to 10,000 Americans taking precautionary medicines to ward off the deadly bacteria (Full Story).
