#2 Today's editorial in the Pakistan Observer

Proliferation of suicide bombers

A GROUP headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has reportedly claimed responsibility for Wednesday dastardly attacks on three hotels in Jordanian capital Amman that killed 56 people including 12 foreigners.

The suicide attacks in Jordan are highly condemnable and we express our complete solidarity with the Government and people of brotherly country. The claim attributed to Zarqawi group is not hundred percent reliable as it is merely Internet-based and there is no way to verify it. There can also be possibility that it could be the handiwork of the American agencies in fulfilment of their avowed agenda of bringing about social, economic and political change in the Middle East. Jordan is a peaceful and stable state in the region and apparently an attempt has been made to create stir there. And if claims of Zarqawiâs involvement are true, even then it is all because of the American and Western policies towards Middle East that are fuelling crisis in the region and creating difficulties for the governments. Western tirade against Islam and the Muslims is pushing them to the wall. Under the influence of the evil thesis of clash of civilisations, Muslims are dubbed as extremists and terrorists. Islam is equated with communism and Bush talks about crusade against its believers and followers. The United States and Britain have not only occupied two sovereign Islamic States of Iraq and Afghanistan but are also intimidating Iran and Syria besides interfering in the affairs of others. Their lust for oil, wealth, power and dominance is the only cause of instability, chaos and violence in different regions of the world. We are confident that there are people in the Western society who abhor these policies and it is time that they should raise their voice against this oppression for the sake of the world peace.
