Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing

Thousands of pro-Taliban tribesmen threatened to send suicide bombers to attack Pakistani forces and execute people found spying for the Americans in a fiery protest Tuesday denouncing the Pakistani air raid the killed 80 people a day earlier.

The rally in Khar, the main town in the tribal Bajur district and close to the village where Monday's missile attack on a religious school took place, drew 20,000 protesters and was the largest of several demonstrations to denounce the raid held across Pakistan.

A Pakistani security official said the seminary in the Bajur village of Chingai had been frequented in the past by al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, and an Egyptian terrorist who was behind August's foiled terror plot to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners. But the pair were not there at the time of the attack.

...

Inayatur Rahman, a local pro-Taliban elder, said he had prepared a "squad of suicide bombers" to target Pakistani security forces in the same way that militants are attacking Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq.
