To Kill the Dali Lama

Austin Bay Blog:

The Australian reports that Al Qaeda-types have targeted the Dalai Lama.

Security surrounding the Dalai Lama has been tightened after reports of an attempt by the al-Qa’ida-linked terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba to assassinate the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.A three-tier security ring has been thrown around the 72-year-old Buddhist head, who lives at Dharamsala, in the Himalayan foothills, Indian police spokesman Prem Lal said.All those approaching the exiled Tibetan chief will be closely watched by highly trained Tibetan security guards as well as heavily armed deployments of Indian police.

al-Qaeda... never ceases to make more enemies. How will peace activists react to this? Islamic fascist terrorists seek to kill one of the most peaceful men on the planet? The Tibetan Ghandi, in a sense.

Anti-war petitioners should note... the Dalai Lama's security will be willing to use force to protect what is precious.

Perhaps Richare Gere can act as a negotiator to defuse this crisis?
