| Unknown militant group claims responsibility for Karachi bomb attack |
| 2002-06-14 |
| A previously unheard of militant group has claimed responsibility for the apparent suicide bomb attack on the US consulate that killed 11 people. The al-Qanoon organisation hand-delivered photocopies of its statement to media organisations including AFP late Friday. The hand-written message included a warning of further attacks. Previously unheard-f "organizations" claimed credit for the Pearl kidnapping and for the Kashmir attack on women and kiddies that almost brought India and Pak to war. Turned out to be the same old orifices, wearing false moustaches and glasses. However Sindh province police chief Syed Kamal Shah said his force had not received a copy. "Police have not receieved any statement from any group claiming the responsibility," he said. "I have not seen the statement but if any such statement has been issued, we look into it." "Ummm... Wait a minute. Here it is. Somebody misfiled it... Nope. That's something else. We'll let you know, okay?" The statement said: "America and its allies and its slave Pakistani rulers should prepare for more attacks. This bomb attack is just a beginning of al-Qanoon's jihadi operation in Pakistan." How can it be just a beginning when it's been under way for so long? |
