Pakistan shows pious concern on timing of Jammu attack
2013-09-28
[Dawn] Pakistain on Friday expressed deep concern on "an unfortunate incident in Jammu which occurred on September 26 resulting in the loss of lives of around 10 security personnel."

Foreign office Spokesman, Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry in a statement said the timing of the attack was particularly disturbing as it took place a couple of days before prime ministers of Pakistain and India were to meet in a bid to move towards improvement of relations.

He said it was imperative that any such act of violence should not be allowed to deter from pursuing a path to a better future for the peoples.

Militants had stormed a cop shoppe and an Indian army base in Kashmire on Thursday, killing at least 10 security personnel. India blamed the Pakistain army for the attack, a charge that Islamabad denied.

Pakistain, itself a foremost victim of terrorism, condemns all forms of terrorism and has rendered immense sacrifices in this regard, said Chaudhry.

"Pakistain remains committed to eliminate the specter of terrorist violence from our society and our region and has on numerous occasions offered cooperation to India in fighting this menace through laid down bilateral mechanisms."

"Pakistain remains ready to discuss all outstanding disputes in a meaningful manner," said the front man.
