Foreign hands behind Naval Attack

LAHORE, May 23: The Jamaat e Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that the attack on the PNS Mehran, Karachi was well organized terrorism and the hand of the US, India and Israel therein could not be ruled out.
    In a statement here on Monday, he strongly condemned the incident and said that  while the foreign hand was playing with Pakistan’s existence, our intelligence agencies were busy in securing US targets and Interior Minister Rehman Malik was playing the role of Defense counsel by linking every terrorist activity with the Al-Qaida and the Taliban.
    Terming the Karachi incident as the biggest one after the GHQ attack, the JI chief said that the enemy was trying to destabilize this country in order to deprive it of its independence and sovereignty.
    He said, such a major and organized attack at a naval base reflected complete security failure. It seemed that there was none to defend this country and the enemy could attack anywhere, any time while the rulers were not sincere with the country as all their interests were linked with foreign countries, especially the US.
    Syed Munawar Hasan said that three consecutive attacks on Navy buses should have activated the intelligence agencies to trace the terrorists, which was however not done and the indifference of these agencies had resulted in such a colossal loss.
    The Indian media’s taking the lead in broadcasting the news of the incident was an indicator that the enemy powers were playing a deadly game with this country, he said. He said, Rehman Malik had always denied the Black Water’s existence in the country but the repeated terrorist attacks here proved that the CIA, Black Water and Indian’ agencies had established their net work here.
    He said, there were reports of arrest of four terrorists, and their interrogation could lead to the culprits’ net work. However, he feared that as usual, the details of this enquiry would never be made public.
