'No country has pre-emptive strike right'
2004-12-29
KARACHI: The former editor-in-chief of Dawn, Ahmad Ali Khan, said here on Tuesday that international law as shaped after World War II does not recognise any country's right to launch a pre-emptive strike. Speaking at the launching ceremony at the Karachi Press Club of "No Clean Hands Skeptical Chronicles of 9/11," a book authored by Sayeed Hasan Khan and Kurt Jacobson, Mr Khan, who was chief guest, said the idea to sell a new interpretation of Islam is not new. Elaborating, he said the United States in the 1980s floated the idea of "jihad" in the wake of the first Afghan War and today it needed moderate Islam after 9/11 the tragedy.

He said the American casualties in Iraq were alarmingly high and the US, which along with big business has big stakes in the huge oil reserves of Iraq, was suffering immensely. Ushba Publishing International has published the book. He said the "War on terror" was not confined to the elimination of Osama bin Laden. On the contrary the US was adamant to suppress freedom struggle as was evident by the bullying of Iran, Syria and other countries by the United States.
Life's tough when you're on the losing side, ain't it?
