KARACHI, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Security forces in the Pakistani province of Sindh have been issued orders to shoot violent protesters on sight as disturbances over the killing of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto flared, an official said.

"Yes, shoot on sight anybody who wants to damage the life of innocent citizens and public property," provincial Interior Minister Akhtar Zaman told Reuters on Friday. (Reporting by Kamran Haider; Editing by Robert Birsel)

The only good rioter is a dead rioter.

You can see GEO TV in Pakistan live, unless Musharraf declares a state of emergency and shuts it down.

This private channel can be linked at:

Some riot video shown along with file interviews with Bhutto.

Government channel PTV has been running biographical speeches of Bhutto with apparently no riot coverage I have seen in last few minutes.

I’ve been watching some Geo TV. But Dawn TV is easier to understand because it is broadcast in English.

I’m sure the Pakistani government will use a lot of restraint in their handling of protests by the Pakistani opposition. (yes, that was sarcastic)

Dawn News must be reading my posts because another try is more successful.

Maybe if ‘the people’ put as much energy into busting up Al Qaeda as they put into busting up their own houses and businesses......

Seriously, did anybody expect anything less from these barbarians? For crying out loud a freaking cartoon or naming a teddy bear mohammed is enough to get thier panties in a bunch.

And the RATS think they can reason with these people.

BTW, if naming something else mohammed shows disrespect to thier moongod prophet, then why is the most popular name for muzzies?

The crowd was crushing against the ambulance that is trying to get to the Mausoleum to pick up her body.

Ambulance could not move an inch now they finally made a path.

So what do they consider rioting.

Also what is that right hand wave up into the air as if one was swatting flies away that the crowd is doing?

Things have been burned in many places like the buses that were lit up last night.

Buildings also burned.

That’s rioting.

I’m not sure about that hand stuff although it must have to do with mourning.
