US embassy dismisses JI accusations

Express April 21, 2010

ISLAMABAD:

The US Embassy said on Wednesday that the allegations made by the former Jamat-e-Islami Chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmed of US involvement in the Qissa Khawani Bazaar blast are absurd.

The embassy said it has been providing assistance to Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa Police Force to eliminate terrorist elements from the province.

Earlier, Qazi Hussain Ahmed has asked the government to closely monitor US influence in the country.

Shahid | 14 years ago | Reply Absurd indeed to blame USA for bomb blasts in Peshawar. Terrorism is the brain-child of these mullahs. Jammat-e-Islami has no public support. It is the B-team of army and it wants to cash-in on the dead in Peshawar.

Mustafa | 14 years ago | Reply Its true that JI has always tried to impose its self-righteous ideology on us which is condemnable but you have to give them credit for having organized setup that works for social causes and for having good intelligence in the country.

Fayyaz Alam | 14 years ago | Reply There could be US involved. Then there could be Taliban, Russia, India, Israel, rogue elements in our agencies or even local mafias. This is all speculation. Qazi Sahib should remember Quran which reminds Muslims that they should not resort to injustice (lies) if they have enmity with a group (country).

Faiz | 14 years ago | Reply Qazi Sahib should not blame others. He has been bitten by the serpent his party has groomed all along. This is Victor's Frankenstein, but alas! Qazi Sahib has no guts to name the true killers--of his partymen and of others who are innocent.

Schazad | 14 years ago | Reply This party and its affiliate has ruined our educational institutions throughout Pakistan. They claim to be the "thekedaars" of Islam. But they have just ruined everything in our country from democracy to any development that could occur in our country. Their answer is no always for what ever you do. They will not let you do anything anytime. They will stop you with force if they don't like what you are doing. Their vigilante type of activities has spoiled this beautiful country. They have given nothing to this country other than depression until now.

Nadir El Edroos | 14 years ago | Reply If America is responsible for these bombings as Qazi Hussain Ahmed claims, and has claimed on many occasions previously, does he have any evidence to support such claims? If he has, then he must bring it out in the open. If he has evidence and does not share it then the next time another bomb go's off he will be equally responsible along with the perpetrator in the heinous act. If he does not have any evidence, then please, stocking anti-American sentiment does not help. Quit whipping up anti-American sentiment for JI's political gain. Seriously, if America didn't exist the JI would have a really hard time finding anyone to back them!
