PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has accused US officials of deliberately hitting the party's Frontier leader Pir Sabir Shah's car in a road incident on March 26. Rehmat Salam, PML-N provincial leader, told a news conference on Thursday that Pir Sabir Shah was surprised when the US Embassy in Islamabad issued a statement claiming that the American convoy had nothing to do with the road incident involving Shah. "Pir Sabir Shah's car was overtaking the American convoy when his driver entered the convoy to avoid a head-on collision with a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. Shah's car was deliberately hit from behind by the Americans, injuring Shah, his driver, and his bodyguard," said Salam.
He alleged that US Special Forces personnel also aimed their guns at Shah. Salam rejected the US Embassy statement that the injured PML-N leader and his companions were provided medical treatment by the US officials. "We know how much the Americans take care of people. The treatment of suspects in Guantanamo Bay speaks volumes of their compassion. |
