UK shouldn't blame others for bombings: Akram
| Kind of along the lines of "U.S. shouldn't blame others for bombings: Tojo" |
 The Britain should not accuse other countries of influencing the London suicide bombers, a Pakistani diplomat said on Sunday. Munir Akram, Islamabad's ambassador to the United Nations, told the BBC Programme 'The World This Weekend' that Britain had to look at its own problems to understand the root causes of terror.
| That makes sense, given that one of Britain's problems is a large number of Muslim imports in the habit jumping up and down and rolling their eyes and trying to build explosives when they're not... |
He said that a particular concern was integrating Muslims into mainstream UK life. He said Pakistan had its own problems with militants, which it was trying to tackle. Britain is now a "breeding ground for terrorists too", has its own radical preachers and now "home-grown suicide bombers", the diplomat said. He rejected reports that Shehzad Tanweer had been turned into a terrorist during a visit earlier this year to a religious school in Lahore.
| He's right. More likely he joined up in Leeds and went for basic training at Muridke... |
He said if the 22-year-old from Leeds who killed seven people or any of his accomplices had visited, they had not been there long enough to be turned. Rather, it was the years spent in Britain that transformed them into UK's first suicide bombers, he said.
