Western reports are international terrorism: Memon
 Caretaker Information Minister Nisar Memon has termed the extensive coverage of the vulnerability of Pakistans nuclear assets in the western media as international terrorism, adding that no interference would be tolerated. We take this international terrorism very seriously, Memon told journalists here, adding that all steps are taken to protect the countrys nuclear assets.
Three people: I think three people have had a key role in shaping our nuclear programme. The first man is Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the second is Nawaz Sharif and third is President Pervez Musharraf, who devised a command and control structure for the nuclear weapons safety, the minister said. Memon said Pakistan was facing two types of international terrorism. The first is the kind we see in Swat or Waziristan. The second, however, is what we call propaganda about our nuclear programme.
Regarding US and Saudi envoys increased presence in pre-poll-linked activities, he said any diplomat going beyond diplomatic norms would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Memon said Afghans, Chechens and Uzbek militants were involved in Swat and people from southern Punjab also took part in the violence. He also said that elections would take place as scheduled, regardless of whether the opposition boycotts. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-09 |
