| 2013-04-04 |
| [Dawn] The Pak Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack on Rangers force in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... which killed four security personnel and injured four others on Wednesday. Speaking to Dawn.Com from Four Rangers personnel were killed and as many injured when a van carrying a dozen of paramilitary soldiers came under attack in Karachi's Korangi neighbourhood earlier this evening. The Rangers, along with police, had been carrying out operations against gunnies and criminal gangs in the metropolis. The TTP front man said that the law enforcement agencies are protectors of secular rulers who had been following "the outsiders' agenda and are part of a secular system." To a query about attack on the WAPDA grid station in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. and the brutal killings of WAPDA officials, he said, "No we are not involved and we disown this attack, we have no role in it." Ehsan remarked that attacks on WAPDA, PTCL and public interests installations are against the policy of the Taliban. To a query, that whether the TTP had changed their policy of attacking government installations like, schools, hospitals, WAPDA and other administrative offices, he said, "Yes we would no more be attacking the public interests buildings and civic organizations, and condemn such attacks." "We have not kidnapped any official from the Badbher area as we don't know who had attacked the grid station," he replied to a query. Meanwhile, ...back at the pool hall, Peoria Slim had found another sucker... the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said in a blurb that the Taliban are disowning the attack to avert immense social pressure mounted on them. "Credible and irrefutable evidence reveals that snuffies (TTP) had targeted Sheikh Muhammad Grid Station in Peshawar's Badbher area, killing seven police and WAPDA officials and causing huge financial loss amounting to billions of rupees to the national exchequer," said the blurb. |
