Al Qaeda denies killing civilians in Pakistan

CAIRO: Al Qaeda denied Saturday that it was behind a series of bombings in Pakistan that have killed hundreds of civilians, saying in a new English-language video that such attacks were un-Islamic.

US-born al Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn, who commonly delivers the organization's English messages, said the extremist network was being framed by the US and Pakistani intelligence services for the bloodshed.

'The perpetration of such deplorable acts and the pinning of responsibility for them on the mujahideen, only serves the enemies of Islam and Muslims, who are today staring defeat in the face,' he said, also blaming the media for implicating al Qaeda in the attacks.

'The mercenaries of the ISI, RAW, CIA or Blackwater are the real culprits behind these senseless and un-Islamic bombings,' he added.

Al Qaeda denies killing civilians in Pakistan

CAIRO: Al Qaeda denied Saturday that it was behind a series of bombings in Pakistan that have killed hundreds of civilians, saying in a new English-language video that such attacks were un-Islamic.

US-born al Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn, who commonly delivers the organization's English messages, said the extremist network was being framed by the US and Pakistani intelligence services for the bloodshed.

'The perpetration of such deplorable acts and the pinning of responsibility for them on the mujahideen, only serves the enemies of Islam and Muslims, who are today staring defeat in the face,' he said, also blaming the media for implicating al Qaeda in the attacks.

'The mercenaries of the ISI, RAW, CIA or Blackwater are the real culprits behind these senseless and un-Islamic bombings,' he added.

RAW is the Indian intelligence agency, while Blackwater is the private security firm - now called Xe Services - whose involvement in the killings of Iraqi civilians have tarnished its reputation throughout the Muslim world.

More than 500 people have died in a slew of attacks in Pakistan that began in October, just as the Pakistani army started waging a ground offensive against the Taliban network in South Waziristan, a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

A single truck bomb in the northwest city of Peshawar killed more than 100 people at a market that sells mostly women's clothes and children's toys. More recently, twin bombs at a similar market in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore killed nearly 50.

Militant groups such as al Qaeda and the Taliban that operate in Pakistan tend most often to attack security targets. They generally avoid claiming responsibility for assaults that kill a large number of civilians.

In a transcript of the video released by the SITE Intelligence Group, a Washington-based monitor of militant websites, Gadahn told Pakistanis their real enemies were secular regimes, corrupt police, judges and tribal nationalists.

In Pakistan, where conspiracy theories are rife, support for militancy has only recently taken a downturn, and anti-Americanism is widespread, Gadahn's message may have some resonance.

After the market blast in Peshawar, many Pakistanis expressed disbelief that Islamist groups could have attacked other Muslims in such a manner. And in some corners of the Pakistani media, Blackwater has increasingly been floated as a culprit in nefarious events.

Gadahn grew up in Los Angeles and then moved to Pakistan in 1998, according to the FBI. He is said to have attended an al Qaeda training camp six years later, serving as a translator and consultant for the group.

al Qaeda's media arm, al-Sahab, is increasingly using English-language videos to address Muslims in Pakistan who are unlikely to speak Arabic. Gadahn's message specifically addressed Muslims in south Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Blackwater behind Pakistan bombings: Ex-intel chief

The former head of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, Asad Durrani said in an interview with Press TV that Blackwater, a notorious US security firm, is carrying out operations in the country.

His comments came after the US Central intelligence Agency (CIA) revealed that Blackwater, which currently works under the name Xe Services, has been involved in drone attacks in Pakistan.

The CIA said the private security company has been loading bombs on US drones that target suspected militants in Pakistan. The attacks, according to Pakistani media, kill civilians as well.

General Durrani, however, said the group may be involved in actions that destabilize the country.

"My assessment is that they [Blackwater agents] — either themselves or most probably through others, through the locals — do carry out some of the explosions," he said.

"The idea is to carry out such actions, like carrying attacks in the civilian areas to make the others look bad in the eyes of the public."

Pakistan, suffering from a wave of violence, has witnessed the loss of lives of more than two thousands civilians in the past two years because of bomb attacks across the country.

They deny killing civilians because they do not think anyone is a civilian. They think we should all be killed including themselves.

now this is new...isi,raw and cia are responsible for attacks on isi head quaters and other army installations........now who is is senseless? "defy all logic"- the terrorist ideology.

 

[sherdil76]

bombing is just another reason to destabilise Iraq and ultimately supporting their motive of staying there as much as they want... where bombing in Pak has started as a move to shift afghan war to cover the sh*t west has only achieved from this evil expedition and yet again to justify their people (who dont believe theme anymore) that this region is cause every problem they are facing and mind you such bombings are not getting any sympathies for us rather people in west now believing that Pak is the real problem of everything. the same game they played against Saddam and succeeded, but INSHALLAH they will not win this time in this Land of Pure.
the fact of the matter is that Muslims all over the world so much pis*o*f because of what happening in Palestine, kashmir, Iraq and afghanistan. and one last thing TTP has nothing to do with jihad of Mullah Umar against illegal occupation of west. TTP is just another weapon of enemies of Islam to create hate among Muslims. TTP and such groups are funded and even commanded by enemies of Islam.

Yeah really why would a mad terrorist organization responsible for killing thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world be responsible for killing civilians in Pakistan. That's just crazy.

 

[Comet]

I know one thing for sure. After theses blasts, Taliban public rating have gone way down in Pakistan. The street bearing slogan of "Taliban Zindabad" are now saying "Taliban Murdabad".
If I was in High command in Taliban, I would never approve these suicide attacks in Pakistan. Taliban have lost support from Pakistani People.

The coward rascals are taking the cover of RAW, CIA and BlackWater to save their skins ..
