Pakhtoons in Pakistan Blame U.S. Blackwater For Deadly Blast
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 29 October 2009 (Xinhua) - Chief of Pakistani-
Pashtun Movement in Pakistan Hakimullah Mehsud has blamed the
controversial American private firm Blackwater [Xe Services] for the
bomb blast in Peshawar which killed over 117 [Pakistani] people, local
news agency NNI reported Thursday.
The bomb, exploded at a crowded market at Chowk Yadgar [in Peshawar,
Pakistan] on Wednesday [28 October 2009], also injured more than 250
[Pakistani] people.
Hakimullah Mehsud told media that if Pakistani-Pashtuns can carry out
attacks in Islamabad and target Pakistan Army's headquarters, then why
they should target general public.
He claimed that American security agency Blackwater [Xe Services] and
Pakistani agencies are involved in attacks in public places to
[maliciously] blame the militants.
When asked that the people also think that the militants are involved
in such attacks, the Pakistani-Pashtun leader was quoted as saying:
"Our war is against the [PPP-ANP-MQM-JUIF corrupt and tyrannical]
government and the security forces [of Pakistan] and not against the
[Pakistani] people. We are not involved in blasts."
Azam Tariq, the Pakistani-Pashtun spokesman, who was accompanying
Hakimullah [Mehsud], warned that those [corrupt] media organizations
[Geo News TV, ARY News TV, Dawn News TV, Dunya News TV, Samaa TV,
Express News TV, Aaj TV, Business Plus TV, Channel 5 TV, Indus News
TV, News One TV, PTV, Radio Pakistan, and other corrupt mercenary
media of Pakistan] could be targeted which are [illegally and
maliciously] defaming Pakistani-Pakhtoons.
Information Minister of Northwest Frontier Province [NWFP] Iftikhar
Hussain and the Pakistan Army spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas had
[falsely, fraudulently and maliciously] blamed militants [without any
legal evidence or prosecutable proof] for the Peshawar blast,
[wrongly] saying that the militants are facing defeat in South
Waziristan tribal region and are now targeting the people.

LONDON, UK, 29 October 2009 (BBC) - The head of the Pakistani-Pakhtoon
Movement has denied responsibility for the [U.S. drone-missile or
bomb] attack [of 28 October 2009 in Peshawar, Pakistan].
Hakimullah Mehsud told the BBC that the latest attack was orchestrated
by the Americans and Pakistani intelligence agencies "to malign the
name of the Pakistani-Pakhtoons".
"If we are able to attack sensitive installations... as well as the
[Pakistan Army] General Headquarters [GHQ], then why would we need to
attack ordinary people?" he asked in brief telephone interview.
"Our war is only against the [corrupt and tyrannical PPP-ANP-MQM-JUIF]
government and the security forces [of Pakistan]. The common people
are not part of it", he replied.
The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan in Islamabad [Pakistan] says that Mr.
[Hakimullah] Mehsud's denial of Pakistani-Pashtuns' involvement is
likely to be met with much scepticism, even though an increasing
number of people do not rule out the involvement of U.S. security
agencies in attacks in the country.
