No foreigner quizzing arrested terrorists: Faisal
2004-08-06
RAWALPINDI: Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said on Thursday the arrested foreign terrorists are being questioned by Pakistani agencies and no foreign investigators were involved.
He means the CIA/FBI.
Talking informally to newsmen here at the handing over ceremony of a consignment of wheat to Afghanistan, he said if any foreign government wants to have counsellor access to their nationals, they will have to approach the Foreign Office according to the international laws.
That would be directed to Africa, I believe.
"Those arrested in connection with acts of terrorism and subversion are being investigated and there is no chance of their being handed over to any foreign country before the completion of our investigations," he said.
"WE haven't finished beating questioning them yet."
The minister said the Pakistani authorities have gleaned ample information from the arrested foreign and Pakistani terrorists and such information is being shared with other countries on a reciprocal basis as Pakistan is a member of the international coalition in the fight against terrorism. He said the foreign terrorist, Ahmed Khalfan, has a bounty of up to $20 million on his head. There is another terrorist with a head money of several million dollars.
We're waiting for details on him...

#2  Responding to a question about Pakistan-China anti-terror exercises, the minister said the two countries have common perceptions to foment fight terrorism, therefore, these exercises are in accordance with their shared objectives.

Pakistan and China's proliferation of nuclear technology makes these two countries the nucleus of terror central. The only people they fool are those idiotic enough to believe that Islamist terrorism is not a significant threat. Sadly, that's about 90% of the world's population, journalistic or otherwise.

#1  Wow, talk about an inferiority complex... Of course, the same lame thoughtless every-way-you-turn-you-lose / do-you-still-beat-your-wife sort of questions are regularly posed by Western Media, as well. The difference is that Scotty doesn't have to duck and cover over such trivia like Musharref's poor spokesdinks.

To hell with the old saw, in with the new saw... "First we kill all the 'journalists'..."
