Pakistan neither knows nor cares where Binny is
2004-05-02
Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali has said that Pakistan doesn’t know or care where fugitive Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is hiding, but is willing to help find him. “We don’t know. We have no idea and no clue about it. We are not interested,” Mr Jamali told The Associated Press in an interview on Friday. “I think people who tried to look towards him in the first instance, they are the ones who should be worried about it.”
If we have a joint goal of capturing him or killing him, you'd think the Paks would have an interest in where he is. But today seems to be a day for stoopid remarks...
Mr Jamali said that Pakistan and archrival India had finally overcome more than five decades of animosity and said that he wished his Indian counterpart Atal Behari Vajpayee success in the ongoing national elections so that the recent peace initiatives could flourish. Mr Jamali was speaking at the end of a two-day trip to Thailand that has been overshadowed by the killing of 108 alleged Islamic militants by the Thai police in the country’s Muslim-dominated south. Mr Jamali said the killings, while regrettable, were an internal matter, and he appeared to back the Thai government’s crackdown. “The death of Muslims is sad, but rule of the law must prevail in the country,” said the Pakistani prime minister. “Pakistan itself has suffered terrorism,” he said, citing two attempts on the life of President General Pervez Musharraf last year.
Actually, I wouldn't put the hit attempts on Perv into the category of terrorism, though admittedly they were carried out by terrorist organizations. Bumping off the head of state is an old tradition in failed states worldwide. Shooting up crowds of civilians because of their religion or ethnic background is more in the pure terrorism category, though, and Pakland certainly has enough of that.
