| 2007-02-03 |
| President Pervez Musharraf Saturday condemned series of suicide attacks in the country and described them as un-Islamic. The youth are being brain washed to become suicide bombers which is un-Islamic, General Pervez Musharraf told a public rally in Okara city in eastern Punjab. The President remarks coincide with a latest suicide attack on an army convoy in North West Frontier Province, which killed two soldiers and injured six others. President Musharraf termed the recent suicide bombings in the country as highly deplorable. These are acts of misguided elements who carried out these terrorist attacks in the name of Islam. The only threat the country faces today is from extremism and terrorism, President Musharraf said. He warned that economic development could not be sustained if extremism and terrorism is not curbed and said that people's support would be vital for defeating these menaces. The President sought support of the people in identifying the extremist who incite people and use places of worship for fanning hatred. Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and assured that no laws could be enacted which are not in conformity of Islam. |
