Islam,Terrorism and Jihad
Pakistan: Terrorism and us
By Mir Jamilur Rahman
August 27, 2008

Taliban sent a strong reminder of their agenda when two of their suicide bombers brought havoc to the peaceful town of Wah Cantt near Islamabad. They killed 70 and injured another 100, leaving the citizens in grief and shock. Wah is a high security town because of its ordnance factory and yet the suicide bombers succeeded in penetrating its security. To be sure, there is perhaps no way to stop a suicide bomber from breaching the security if he is willing to forfeit his life. As an American president once said, it is not very difficult to assassinate the president of the US provided the assassin is prepared to give up his life.

Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani visited the scene of the Wah carnage to condole with the people who lost their breadwinners and near and dear ones. He assured them of the government's support in their rehabilitation. The prime minister told a news conference in Wah that economy and law and order are the priorities of his government.

Current affairs
Pakistan, India agree to ease visa curbs

Both sides will look into the prospects of a just and peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, the secretary said. The talks will also focus on peace and security, besides reviewing the implementation of conventional, nuclear and cross-LoC CBMs, he added. The interaction will provide the two foreign secretaries an opportunity to also discuss other areas of bilateral cooperation, said Mr Bashir.

The issue of Kashmir and peace and security would be on agenda when the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India kickstart the fifth round of the composite dialogue.

Mr Aizaz Chaudhry will also be part of the delegation. Mr Bashir will also hold a call-on meeting with Leader of the Opposition L.K. Advani on Tuesday. The secretary is also expected to call on external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee. Earlier, both the countries completed the fourth round of the composite dialogue last year and its review meeting was held when the Indian external affairs minister visited Islamabad in May this year.
