An unexpected day off..

Today is Wednesday and in the normal scheme of things I should be in my office dealing with the results of some recent testing we have done. Unfortunately, school is closed today on the orders of the Provincial Government. This is in response to terrorist attacks in Lahore and Islamabad and a concern that trouble may spread here to Karachi.

At the weekend, the Pakistani Government started an offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan, and the terrorists have responded by attacking various targets in Islamabad and Lahore. Yesterday's attack was against the International Islamic University in Islamabad and so the government has decided to close schools. At the momnet we don't know how long this will last. Pakistan is need of much prayer, yours would be appreciated...
