Reporting the London Attacks III: Pakistani Police Colonel speaks his mind

The search for suspects in the London bombings leads investigators (and journalists) to Pakistan.

Reporter: Are you looking for any particular person?
Colonel: Yes, well, we are looking for the brainchild, the think-tank...

I don't want to seem to be mocking someone who's first language isn't English (my Urdu's not too hot either) but this response to a Channel Four News question is a surreal and hilarious example of mediaspeak gone horribly wrong.
