Terrorists have no ethnic, national affiliations: Iftikhar Hussain
2012-11-11
[Dawn] Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on Saturday said that regardless of ethnic identity, those who engaged in terrorist activities were terrorists, DawnNews reported.

He said gunnies had no national affiliations, adding that, the army should eliminate them, adding that, he was not afraid of gunnies and had exposed them.

The minister said the country's previous governments were afraid of speaking to the international community on Pakistain's terrorism problem.

He said Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
was not only celebrating Malala Day on Saturday, it was, in fact, celebrating all those brave men and women who had given sacrifices against the scourge of terrorism.

The minister thanked the international community for standing up for Malala.

He said Pakistain, Afghanistan and the United States would have to fight terrorism through a joint strategy, adding that, whether the decision would be to launch an operation or to engage in talks, the three countries should remain united.

#2  Ethnic or national affiliation may be all over the map, but terrorists do seem to have a rather narrow religious demographic.

#1  Well surely they're not really Paks or Pashtuns. If they were somebody might blame Paks and Pashtuns for the ceaseless carnage taking place in the area between Iran and India.
