| Qazi warns of plot to link JI with al-Qaeda |
| 2003-03-04 |
| MMA Parliamentary Leader and Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Qazi Hussein Ahmed Monday said that international plotters are trying to link JI with al-Qaeda, a network of Osama bin Laden. I confess! I dunnit! "We are very much aware of an international plot of establishing a linkage of al-Qaeda with JI. As we are against extremism and have no linkage with any extremist group so we will turn down the international plotters to do so," Qazi Hussein Ahmed told the reporters. He rejected official's claims that Khaild Shaikh Mohammad and another Arab were arrested from Dr. Abdul Qadoose Khan's house. Referring mother, wife and sister of arrested Pakistani Ahmed Abdul Qadoose, Qazi said, "the family members of Ahmed Qadoose are saying in public that non of the Arabs were arrested from their house but Ahmed." "Nope. Nope. Nobody there. It's all a frame-up." It seems as if a plan has been executed of projecting linkage of al-Qaeda with JI "but I want to say very clearly that JI even don't know who is Khalid Shaikh and even al-Qaeda." "Never heard of 'em... And who are you?" He questioned that when Americans and Europeans are even having liberty of setting up organizations for the protection of their dogs and cats "why we Muslims cannot run charity organizations for the assistance of orphans and widows." "What's a poor old widow lady to do, when there's not a speck of ammunition to be found in the house?" He said that being Muslims "we are not against Arabs but we oppose politics of extremism or terrorism." He, however said categorically that under no circumstances JI may stop helping the deserving persons including widows and orphans. |
