| Pakistan rejects India's charges of hand in Jammu attack |
| 2002-05-15 |
| Pakistan dismissed Indian charges that it was involved in Tuesday's terrorist attack in Jammu in which 30 Indians were killed. "Whenever there are attacks in India, it claims that it is done by Pakistan. This is wrong and we totally reject this," Pakistan Information Minister Nisar Memon said. In the past too "they resorted to all kinds of methods to malign Pakistan. Let me say India has miserably failed in this game", he added. His lips are moving, words are coming out, but they don't make any sense. Who the hell controls the Pakistan-based terror networks? Samoa? Greenland? Six guys with false moustaches in Saskatoon? Memon said Pakistan stood with the international community in the fight against terrorism. "Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism." Virtually all of it home-grown, too... Memon's comments came a day after three militants shot dead seven passengers of a civilian bus and then stormed the residential quarters of Indian troops near Jammu city and massacred 23 people, including five soldiers, eight women and 10 children. Making his comments sound particularly cynical... Memon said Pakistan curbed the activities of extremist groups and arrested many of their activists. "Our policy is not to allow anybody to use our soil for terrorism against any country." Pakland arrests them, then springs them, arrests them again, then springs them. Sometimes it shoots them dead, then has to do it again two or three years later. |
