| 3 States On US Hit-list After Iraq, Says Qazi |
| 2003-02-12 |
| Source: Dawn The chief of Jamaat-i-Islami and a leader of MMA, Qazi Hussain Ahmed, has claimed that Pakistan will be one of three Muslim countries to be targetted by the US after Iraq. "Despite a global opposition, the United States is fully ready to destroy Iraq," said in a special Eid message to the people. "After Iraq, it has focussed its eyes on Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan." Sounds like a pretty good set of choices. One's the driver behind Hezbollah and the prop to Syria. The second's the bankroll of terrorism, and the third's the "mind that's weak and the back that's strong." He was echoing a view among some Pakistanis that their country could be targeted because of perceptions that Al Qaeda and Taliban remnants are regrouping on Pakistani soil and that Osama is hiding in its territory. "The Musharraf government has given FBI a free hand to conduct raids on any house, mosque or Madaris and round up respectable citizens while Pakistani courts are helpless in offering any relief," Qazi railed. On the other hand, they could stop providing shelter to crazed killers and international terrorists. If they did that, nobody would care what the hell they did. |
