President, PM condemn attack on Sherpao
[Dawn] President  Asif Ali President Ten PercentZardari ... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ... and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani ... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ... on Saturday strongly condemned the suicide kaboom  near the vehicle of PPP-S leader Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao after a public meeting in Charsadda.Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao and his son Sikandar Sherpao escaped the attack, in which a policeman was killed and eight people sustained injuries. The President termed the incident a cowardly act of terrorism and said the government and people of Pakistain were committed to rid the country and society from this menace. But not by changing anything they're doing now... He prayed for the departed soul of the policeman killed in the attack and also directed the concerned authorities to ensure the provision of best medical treatment to the injured. The prime minister has directed the Interior Minister Rehman Malik Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. to immediately submit a report regarding this abhorrent act of terrorism.
