MMA bitches about military operations in the tribal areas
2004-09-12
Pakistan's main Islamist alliance on Saturday criticised the army's operation against Al Qaeda militants in Waziristan tribal agency as the "worst kind of state terrorism". "This operation was being carried out to please the American forces in the region. Unfortunately, Pakistani troops are directly involved in this state terrorism," MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmed told reporters in Abotabad. Terming as a "blatant lie" that foreigners were being killed in the bombing of Waziristan, he said not only Pakistanis were being ruthlessly killed but women and children were the main victims. "On top of it bombs do not differentiate between the foreigners and locals-they are made to kill --- and that what precisely was the case in Waziristan", he said referring to aerial strikes by Pakistan military against the militants hideouts in the past few days.
