PM says foreign involvement in Islamabad rocket plots
2006-10-17
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Monday that foreigners were involved in the planting of live rockets at various sensitive places in the twin cities. “The police promptly apprehended the culprits. We have found foreign involvement in the incidents. The investigations are still underway. It will be premature to disclose more details about it,” the prime minister told reporters after inaugurating the Outreach Scholarship Programme 2006 for IT students.

Mr Aziz said all the suspects arrested were Pakistanis, but they had foreign links. He said India has not yet handed over proof of PakistanÂ’s involvement in the Mumbai train blasts, adding that India had no right to blame Pakistan without proof. He said incidents of terrorism in PakistanÂ’s neighbours were due to their internal problems and any unrest in these countries was also a danger to Pakistan. He said Pakistan wanted peace in the region and was playing its role in achieving the goal.
Then his lips fell off.

#2  Actually, by making absurd claims like this they make themselves look ridiculous -- and any statement they make becomes suspect.

#1  Pakistan makes these allegations for a purpose - to create a reaction in the international community of "there goes these south asian neighbors again - always blaming each other".
By making absurd claims, they discredit Indian accusations.
