| 'Pro-Taliban militants pursuing anti-Islam policy' |
| 2009-11-18 |
| The pro-Taliban militants in Pakistan have proven they are pursing an anti-Islam policy through targeting mosques and civilians, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik says. Malik said on Monday that those who target houses of worship cannot be pardoned. "The nation now sees the real cruel face of the Taliban," a Press TV correspondent quoted Malik as telling state TV. The Taliban, who have been continuously killing innocent civilians, cannot escape the wrath of Almighty God, he stated. Realizing that they are defeated, the pro-Taliban militants have stepped up their terrorist activities just to terrorize innocent people, Malik added. On Monday, a suicide bomber blew up a car packed with explosives near a college in Peshawar, killing four people and injuring 26 others. It was the fifth suicide attack in eight days. The bomber struck a suburban road as children were going to school in the sprawling city of 2.5 million people, devastating a mosque, destroying two rooms at a boys' college, and bringing down one wall of a police station, witnesses said. |
