    Man with US passport blows himself up in Pakistan

    KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — A suspected militant who blew himself up in southern Pakistan during a raid by security forces was carrying a U.S. and a Pakistani passport, authorities said Saturday.

    According to a statement by Pakistan's paramilitary Rangers, the dead man has been identified as Saeed Abdul Salam. He detonated an explosive device Thursday when troops raided his apartment in the port city of Karachi.

    Post-mortem tests on Salam's body confirmed the man died due to the explosion of a hand grenade, it said, adding "documents used for acts of terrorism were also recovered" from his possession.

    The U.S. Embassy could not immediately confirm the development.

    The Rangers' statement said Salam had divorced his wife a month ago and was living with four children, who were unharmed. According to Salam's passport, he had traveled to many countries, the statement said.

    Karachi is home to around 18 million people and is the capital of Sindh province. Several al-Qaida and Taliban operatives have been captured or killed there in recent years.

        Come'on... We must be careful as to not insult and or offend them. So, that was the "Politically" correct term. I worked for the MDOC, and they sent a memo that stated we had to stop calling convicts, 'Convicts.' The new title was instated, that being, 'Client!' A 'Client'! Can you imagine?!? What are prisoners 'Clients' of?

      Maybe Jeff Dunham will stick his hand up this dead terrorist's #$%$ and make him part of the show too. They should be publishing pictures of every dead terrorist so future martyrs get a sneak peek at what their future really looks like.

      I wonder why the media likes to call this guy a "suspected" militant? He is NO LONGER suspected. Duh.

      This is an absolutely nutty religion that drives intelligent folks to the brink of self destruction.
      I doubt that Mohamed had this in mind when he copied and twisted parts of the bible.
