Evidently, Pakistan is serious and getting tough with its citizens in the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other members of al Qaeda. According to a report in the Pakistani paper Daily Times, government officials have asked prayer leaders to read a special message to worshipers this week:

In the message, tribesmen are asked: “Do you want that your houses are demolished, your children and your women cry during the operations?” It also reminded the tribesmen what cost they would pay if found sheltering terrorists.

The recent urgency to take down Osama bin Laden only appears to be getting stronger over the past several days.
