| Suicide bombers network detected |
| 2004-03-09 |
| Inspector General Punjab Police Syed Masud Ahmed Shah on Monday said that a network of suicide bombers has been detected in the province. What gave you your first clue? "We have come to know about the outfits and groups involved in masterminding and carrying out suicide bombing in various parts of the province. Every thing will be crystal-clear within next few days," IG Police said while talking to media persons after inaugurating the newly-constructed Investigation Center at Qila Gujar Singh Police station here. I read that as either we can expect arrests or flying body parts in the near future. The official said suicidal attack is a new trend in the country and is considered the last option available to diehard terrorists. I’ll give him that, if you’re winning by other means it doesn’t make sense to boom yourself. To another question, he admitted that kidnapping for ransom is on rise in Punjab, but added that hectic efforts are afoot to arrest the trend. "We have taken the issue as a challenge and have directed districts’ police to be most vigilant," the IG noted. |
