Pakistan is the Mother of Terrorism, Afghanistan the Victim: Afghan Analyst
 [Tolo News] Pakistain is the mother of terrorism while Afghanistan is the victim, an Afghan political expert and former Minister of Interior General Hadi Khaled said Wednesday."Pakistain's government is now trying to change the ideology of its people by trying different political ways," Khaled told TOLOnews. "Pakistain is the mother of terrorism and Afghanistan has been the continuous victim." Khaled's comments come in the wake of strong reaction to US drone strikes in tribal regions of Pakistain, with the country's foreign ministry summoning US embassy officials to express their anger over the continuing strikes against snuffies in tribal regions bordering with Afghanistan. While recent drone strikes have apparently hit their targets, including most recently an Al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya al-Libi, considered the network's Number 2, the strikes are seen as a threat to Pakistain's illusory sovereignty and have also been known to kill civilians. "We have confirmation of [Al-Libi's] death," White House front man Jay Carney told news hounds in a news briefing at the White House on Wednesday declining to provide further details about the exact location of the incident. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security front man Lutfullah Mashal has called the death of Al-Libi a major blow to Taliban, going so far as to say that his death could put an end to an ideological war. "The death of Al-Libi is very important and effective for the grinding of the peace processor. He was responsible for an ideological war; we hope it ends by his death." Mashal said Wednesday. Al-Libi was considered to be the general manager of Al Qaeda network and was responsible for day-to-day monitoring of the network's activities all over the world. US officials believe that Al-Libi was newly appointed as deputy of the Aimen Al-Zawaheri, the successor of the late Osama bin Laden ... who no longer has to waste time and energy breathing... after he was killed a year ago. Al-Libi was one of the three inmates who escaped the heavily guarded US-run Bagram prison in 2005, he survived a US drone strike in 2009 but finally he was killed last week with 14 other fellow members in a US drone strike in northern Wazirstan of Pakistain's tribal region.
