Pakistan on Friday demanded proof from the United States to support the placement of several pro-Pakistan groups on a terrorist watch list. âIf they have any evidence against the listed organisations, they must tell us and we will take action,â Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said. âThey [the US] have their own standpoint on the terrorist groups they have listed in their report,â Mr Hayat said. Mr Hayat said Pakistan had its own mechanisms to monitor banned terrorist groups. âWe are operating on our own and have mechanisms in place to check the activities of banned terrorist groups or any other organisation or individual. Elimination of terrorism is our consistent policy.â
| Hang on, while I wipe my nose after that last statement... He seems to be referring to the al-Badr, Jamiat ul-Mujahidin, and Hizbul Mujaheddin groups. They're not terrorists, of course. They're, ummmm... freedom fighters. Yeah. That's it. They're freedom fighters. |
