Maybe you are right, that it was originally linked to what you posted (sans citation/source, by the way); however, it is still up at DrudgeReport.com and still links to nothing containing anything connected to Pakistan and/or honor killings.

One of the most laughable posts of all time. 
Glad you are careful to get your news from totally objective sources. Probably CNN, ABC, HuffPost and other totally wacky liberal shills.  | |

| Drudge Report has removed all their links to the shooting in Belgium (was it only newsworthy if it was connected to some greater Militant-Islamic conspiracy to take over the world?). In other news, the shooter has been identified as Nordine Amrani, a small-time criminal who apparently did not want to go back to court (and jail). However, while reading updates of what happened in Liege, I found this article: Quote:
LIEGE, Belgium — Summoned for questioning by Belgian police, a man with a history of weapons and drug offenses left home armed with hand grenades, a revolver and an assault rifle. Stopping at a central square filled with holiday shoppers, he lobbed three grenades into the crowd, then opened fire.
Four people were killed, including an 18-month-old toddler, and 122 were wounded in the assault Tuesday that brought tragedy to the pre-Christmas season of students reveling in exam results and preschoolers enchanted by brightly lit trees and holiday stalls.
...
While such attacks are unusual in Western Europe, the continent has not been immune to such violence.
There was another deadly shooting Tuesday in Italy, where a man opened fire in an outdoor market in Florence, killing two vendors from Senegal and wounding three other Senegalese before killing himself, authorities said.
Investigators identified the attacker as 50-year-old Gianluca Casseri, and RAI state TV said he was known to police for having participated in racist marches by an extreme right-wing group.
In Norway last July, far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik went on a bomb and shooting spree that killed 77 people in Oslo and an island retreat, apparently motivated by a hatred of Muslim immigrants and a deep grudge against the governing Labor Party. A psychiatric evaluation found him criminally insane, which if upheld by the courts means he would end up in compulsory psychiatric care instead of prison.
Attack in Belgian city of Liege leaves 5 dead, 122 wounded; shooter had done jail time - The Washington Post | Are "Christian Terrorists" finally coming back out to play?
