(Mountains north of the Kanto Plain with Tokyo on)Nights of September 11, 2001 and December 27, 2007 in Japan Time
(Nuits du 11 septembre 2001 et le 27 décembre 2007 au Japon Time)
Yesterday morning, I thought I had to write about Boston, a US city, since an FEN (US Military) radio station program talked about, briefly but so impressively for me, a brave woman having been executed on a false charge in a witch hunting court in Boston a few hundred years ago.
But, this morning I have to write about Ms. Benazir Bhutto, a former prime minister of Pakistan, since just like the night (in Japan Time) of September 11, 2001, last night I got a report about the assassination of her through the media while I was working late toward the midnight as usual, though this year it was December 27, 2007.
(Refer to an EEE reporter entry on October 20, 2007, where I mentioned the attempted assassination of her.)
Last night, BBC Radio on the Internet was first to confirm her death; then a minute or so later New York Times Online corrected its first and second articles on speculations about her safety and conditions. Wikipedia also updated within half an hour her information with a CNN screen image telling the attack.

This morning, the fatal terror on Ms. Benazir Bhutto is the main feature on the front page of Japanese newspapers.
BBC Radio on the Internet is now also reporting a continued story of the terror that happened in Rawalpindi last night taking scores of lives including Ms. Bhutto, first elected prime minister of Pakistan in 1988 at the age of 35.

"Mr. Galbraith’s father was accompanying Jacqueline Kennedy to a horse show in Lahore.
The two met again at Harvard, where Mr. Galbraith remembered Ms. Bhutto arriving as a prim, cake-baking 16-year-old fresh from a Karachi convent.
Ms. Bhutto often spoke of how her father encouraged her to study the lives of legendary female leaders, including Indira Gandhi and Joan of Arc, and as a young woman, she observed his political maneuvering up close.")
The significance of this incident lies in a potential influence on Muslims in the world as in the case of the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud in Afghanistan on September 9, 2001, which eventually and even today has allowed leaders of AlQaeda to hide in those regions.
However, Allah must bring peace to pious Muslims in 2008.

Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Joh 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Joh 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Joh 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

The BBC Internet Radio was also reporting last night on Japan's Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda's arrival at Beijing, China, in the busy interval of its extensive reporting on the tragic incident in Pakistan.
The point of issue might be as to whose voices had led the late former Prime Minister of Pakistan to her own country from an exile.
I hope that Japan's Prime Minister, making a hard effort to resume the interrupted service of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Forces on the Indian Ocean, would always listen to right voices for his official trip abroad.
(But, I assure you, faithful believers viewing EEE Reporter, of your safety.
You are safe, because the voice of God and Allah must be one and the same, even if He speaks to you in whatever language.
In case, has He spoken English, German, or French to you? Or, Japanese?
[As for me, Japanese, so far, since I cannot sacrifice it at all.])
