Taliban deny planning suicide attacks on NGOs
2004-06-08
The Taleban on Tuesday denied Pakistani government warnings that it was plotting to blow up Western aid workers in southwest Pakistan using suicide bombers, the Afghan Islamic Press reported. “The Taleban have no plan about any operation in Pakistan. If we want to launch suicide attacks, we will do it in Afghanistan, on American forces,” Taleban spokesman Mufti Latifullah Hakimi told the private Pakistan-based newsagency via satellite phone from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan. The Taleban spokesman disowned Ishaqzai, saying no man of such a name was known to them.

#1  Gotcha. Attacks on NGOs will be ad hoc, then.
