| 2011-09-12 |
| [Tolo News] Global terrorism will not end until the international community applies serious pressure on the Pak government, Afghanistan's former spy chief said on Saturday. Amrullah Saleh, former chief of the National Directorate of Security, said Pakistain should not be called an ally in the fight against terrorism. He made the comments at a ceremony to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of Afghan national hero, Ahmad Shah Massoud. The leader of the change and hope coalition, Dr Abdullah, who was also at the memorial service in the Panjshir, said that Pakistain had not been an honest partner in the fight against terrorism. The wreath-laying was attended by hundreds of thousands of people including numerous top government officials on the day after the 10th anniversary of Massoud's liquidation. "Consistent pressure on Pakistain either through diplomatic approaches or economic pressure is the only way" to end global terrorism, Mr Saleh said. Dr Abdullah said: "There is no honesty at all. Today Pakistain fights very well against Pak Taliban who have turned against him. But it is still supporting the Afghan Taliban." Massoud was killed by two Arabs posing as journalists two days before the September 11 attacks on the US. The legendary fighter had unsuccessfully tried to warn western leaders about the threat from terrorism. |
