Pak admits to Times Square bomber’s links in South Waziristan | Pakistan, probably for the first time, has admitted
that the failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad had links in South Waziristan, the strong hold of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Interior Minister Rehman
Malik said Pakistani agencies are probing every aspect of the case. “Faisal Shahzad
had links in South Waziristan and his accounts are in focus for investigation,”
The Dawn quoted Malik, as saying. Shahzad had told his interrogators that he had
received bomb-making training by the TTP in the restive South Waziristan along
the Afghanistan border. Malik, however, told media persons here that no arrests
have been made so far in connection with botched May 1 bombing plot. It is pertinent
to mention here that news regarding Pakistani authorities detaining several persons,
including an Army Major, is being frequently flashed in both international and
Pakistani media. Commenting on New Delhi expressing its disappointment over the
Supreme Court’s verdict to free the banned Jamaat-ud-Daawa (JuD) chief Hafeez
Muhammed Saeed, the mastermind of the November 2008 Mumbai carnage, Malik said
India should respect the judgement of Pakistani courts of justice. “We had also
honored the Indian courts' decision against Ajmal Kasab,” he said. Malik said
India , Pakistan and Afghanistan should join hands for a joint struggle against
the menace of terrorism in the region. |
