 Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, information minister, on Friday said the government would soon arrest the culprits behind Saturday's Gilgit incident. He was talking to journalists at F-9 Park where he attended the prize distribution ceremony of the first Islamabad Mini Marathon organised by the city administration to raise funds for tsunami victims. "Law enforcement agencies have almost identified the deceased terrorist and this will help identify his accomplices. There are anti-Pakistan elements that cannot stand the country's progress," he said. In clashes with Asgha Ziadduin, a local religious leader, two bodyguards were killed in addition to the deceased assailant. Eleven people were killed in sectarian clashes on Saturday which erupted after unidentified men fired at the car of Ziauddin. The government has since imposed a curfew in the area to control the situation. The minister said recent border clashes between Pak-Afghan forces were under control. "We don't want war with our neighbours, but are ready to face any scenario," he said. |
