![]() "It is too early to point a finger at any group or anybody," the official said. Militants, linked with Al Qaeda and Taliban, distributed hand-written leaflets in Miranshah earlier this week telling hotels and music shops to stop showing television and selling DVD movies within five days or face the consequences. "You (shopkeepers) will be responsible for any damage if our message is not taken seriously," the pamphlets read. Many of damaged shops sold TV sets, audio and videocassettes and rented out music and movie CDs. Former US forces commander in Afghanistan Lt Gen David Barno told reporters in Islamabad that Pakistan would launch a spring offensive in North Waziristan, but Islamabad denied. |
