| Bombed Islamabad bank denies sacrilege |
| 2011-06-19 |
| A terrorist outfit targeted a bank in Islamabad on June 13 because its floor tiles and their design were strikingly analogous to the sacred name, Allah, and the bank did not change them despite complaints to its management. A bank guard was killed and four others were injured in last Monday’s suicide attack on an Islamabad branch of a bank. The bank administration was cautioned by a section of the outfit that had even lodged a written complaint with Islamabad’s Industrial Area Police Station two years back following the direct warning to bank officials, it is reliably learnt. Bank officials confirmed to The News on condition of anonymity that the administration received complaints about the design of the floor tiles, and that some individuals had also met the management official in this regard but neither the area police nor the bank administration took any action on the objections raised by the grdoup. The bank’s president, when contacted for his comment, said: “It cannot even be imagined to disgrace the holy name of Allah Almighty.” He said the allegation was baseless and concocted. “We are Muslims and can never think of the disrespect to the name of Creator”, he added. Head of the bank administration said that the plaza was four-storey building and the owner of the building constructed the structure but the design of the tiles was not objectionable. He said anyone could visit the building and the bank anytime. Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Binyameen when contacted by this correspondent for comments confirmed the lodging of the complaint with the Industrial Area police and said that although the complaint was filed two years back, the police were investigating that aspect. He said that the investigators have got some concrete evidence leading to the terrorist outfit involved in the suicide attack. Quoting evidence, Binyameen said that the attacker was not wearing suicide jacket but was carrying explosive material packed in a bag. He said that police were working on the aspect whether the suicide attacker blew the explosive material himself or some one other had exploded it by remote control. |
