Talk:Mir Aimal Kansi/Archive 1

Question on smuggling
"He had previously worked with mujahedeen, Afghani guerrilla fighters, to transport US supplied weapons from military bases in Pakistan to Afghanistan." This might need sourced. My very limited understanding was that the Pakistani government was trying to pretend to be neutral, and the weapons were typically smuggled through refugee camps. This "military bases" thing definitely suggests Pakistani government involvement. --Thatnewguy 12:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Which intersection?
Quote - "He knew that the line of cars that formed at this intersection each day mostly carried CIA employees."

Could someone please include a bit of information on the intersection mentioned in this article? Thanks. -RR

Reaction in Pakistan
I thought there should be some mention of how many in Pakistan took his extradition as an insult to their sovereighnty. This link from the popular Pakistan daily The News gives some idea of the fellings in Pakistan:. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.135.160.104 (talk) 12:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

I'm going to go ahead and add a bit about the reaction in Pakistan to his execution based on information found at http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/kasi.htm. Cuindless 19:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Apologies
Someone suggested at AFD that the Lansing Bennett article should be merged with this one and the Bennett article deleted. I've merged the two articles and you may comment. The portion of the article about Bennett is longer than Kansi. If you are offended, sorry. Just talk and explain.Mrs.EasterBunny 19:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal
An article for 1993 CIA shootings has been added, containing any relevant sourced information that might otherwise end up here. If no-one objects, I'll add a redirect to that page from here in a week or so. Thomjakobsen 15:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Endorse. No objection.  Well thought out process.  Less notable articles redirected according to WP policies and guidelines.  Mrs.EasterBunny 17:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
