'Oct 18 blasts should not be politicised'
2007-10-24
The October 18 blasts should not be politicised and all political parties should join hands to counter the growing Talibanisation and suicide attacks in the country, Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao said in an interview with ARY television on Tuesday.
Right. I thought they were a political act, aiming to take a politician off the national poltical stage. But I could be wrong.
He told the channel that the federal government had asked the provinces to propose a security strategy for the polls, adding that rallies and processions were banned to avoid any untoward incident. He said most suicide attackers were uneducated minors between the ages of 13 and 15. He said the people should be educated to identify and discourage suicide attackers.
His lips move. Words come out. He makes no sense.
The minister said that a sense of deprivation prevailed in the NWFP that needed to be catered for.

Blaming agencies inappropriate: He said, “It is inappropriate to blame intelligence agencies for the Karachi blasts, as they have no political role.”
Yeah, hell. It couldn't have been them.
