Another threat from Pakistan

Pakistanis were warned by the militant group, which claims to be behind the bombing in Marriott Hotel against joining hands with and providing cooperation to the United States. This message was conveyed to reporters in English through a mobile phone by “Fedayeen al-Islam” – “Islam commandos” a hitherto unknown group. They also referred by name to Marriott Hotel owner.

While officials in Pakistan were unavailable for comment, it is practically thought to be impossible to verify their threat claim. The Marriott Hotel truck bombing on Saturday killed around 53 people and injured 270. This group demanded withdrawal of support and partnership with Washington from Pakistan in the message which claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Threat from Islamic extremists is manifold now, most of them operating from tribal regions in northwest border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. This region is lawless and a breeding ground for terrorism.

American government personnel in Islamabad have been warned by the US State Department which feared further attacks, against staying in any of the major hotels in Karachi or Peshawar. They have also been advised to stay away from restaurants. Citizens of America who are working in Pakistan or visiting have also been similarly warned.

The past few days have seen increased surveillance and ground attacks in the frontier area by US, angering Pakistanis. Civil leaders in Pakistan have condemned these raids and Pakistan army has sworn to defend the country’s borders at any cost.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousur Raza Gilani reacted with the statement to journalists that Pakistan is fighting its own war against terrorism and will not tolerate acts impeaching its integrity and sovereignty.
