SHANDOOR: The law enforcing agencies on Tuesday foiled a terrorist plan to blow up Shandoor festivalâs VIPâs enclosure at the inaugural ceremony. âSix time bombs were planted near the enclosure where dignitaries from abroad and top Pakistani leadership was supposed to sit for the opening ceremony today (Wednesday),â a police official said. According to the local administration, the bomb disposal unit searched the festivalâs premises and found six Russian-made time bombs planted in the VIP enclosure. The dignitaries were British royal family members and US ambassador Nancy Powell.
| Oh, wouldn't that have made a splash? |
The local administration was satisfied with the security arrangements and announced that all the programmes for the festival would be followed without change. The law enforcing agencies are trying to find out who planted the bombs,â said a police official.
| I think it would be a fine idea to find out who planted them and kill them. But my patience with Pakistan ran out sometime in early 2002, so I guess my opinion shouldn't count. |
