| No suicide bombers in Islamabad: Rehman Malik |
| 2009-08-24 |
| [Dawn] Interior Minister Rehman Malik has termed the media reports regarding the entry of 50 suicide bombers in the capital as devoid of truth and absolutely baseless and has ordered an inquiry into the matter. Malik ordered all the provincial governments and Islamabad Capital Territory Police to provide foolproof security to the masses. Meanwhile, reacting to the reports of Hakeemullah Mehsud's appointment as the new chief of the Pakistani Taliban, Malik said whoever heads the TTP will be considered a terrorist. Malik said that this person claiming to be Hakeemullah will soon be exposed as his twin brother is present in Afghanistan and has been issuing statements from there. Malik maintained that the government has obtained the DNA of Hakeemullah and will speak about it after verifying it. He also claimed that the backbone of the terrorist network has been broken. |
