Surprise surprise!
Turns out the 11 French Engineers were'nt killed by "Islamic radicals" ... but rather by government and military officials upset over unpaid bribes/kickbacks.
French engineers killed in Karachi because of kickbacks - Pakistan Spotter

The al Qaeda track has been totally abandoned. Instead, the motive for the attack appears linked to the non-payment of bribes and commissions.

The French and their conspiracy theories. Never gets old. Too few details available to make judgment.

Seriously whats with you <edit>? Do you even check the source of the article? Its amazing with the internet everybody thinks all that is written is true.
Amazing isn't it that no credible news source has covered this. Nor as the French government commented on it. No some french lawyers sitting in Paris, their views counts. But the people on the ground they do not.
I honestly wonder how stupid you guys are.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

Plus there is the whole issue of motivating a suicide bomber to kill someone for kickbacks. Jihadists were involved at some level of this attack.

What's wrong with the source? He asked for credible report, I gave him three.
Logic? Suicide bombers dont know logic. Suicide bombers are idiots lured by religion to serve political whims. And please dont tell me a jihadist needs to be motivated "to kill someone for kickbacks". A jihadist could care less. A bus load of frenchies is motivation enough.
The alleged plot is this:
Quote:
The memo, copies of which were shown on French media on Friday, says French and Pakistani officials connived to take bribes as part of the sale of the submarines to Pakistan.
It says France stopped paying the bribes after the 1995 election, won by Chirac, and that Pakistani officials kept asking for them for several years.
The allegation is that they eventually lost patience and organised in retaliation the attack on the bus full of French engineers, who were working on the Agosta submarine project.

So, a jihadist killed them. Good, that means your news reports saying no islamist connection are wrong.
