| Terrorists strikes may widen Pak-India gulf | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 7: The establishments in Islamabad and New Delhi were rattled and rocked on Thursday by the terrorist strikes that left over 30 people dead and over 105 wounded.
Whether the two attacks were preplanned or not they were executed like a lightning. The first terrorist strike shook Quetta city in Balochistan in which 20 people were killed. Reports said that two suicide bombers detonated the explosives they carried on them and the explosive laden car inside the house of one DIG of Frotier Corps, Brigadier Shehzad, who was injured and his wife was killed.
The bloody scene in Quetta was followed by a terrorist strike outside the Delhi High Court building in New Delhi in which more than 10 people were killed and 65 injured.
As far as the Quetta incident is concerned the reasons were not difficult to find. The recent operations against the Al Qaeda in Balochistan by the Frontier Corps, in which four top commanders were nabbed, is said to have been the motive behind the suicide attack on the DIG's residence.
In fact Islamabad had won US accolades for the operations against the Al Qaeda in Balochistan. Hence the terrorists, especially the Al Qaeda activists, wanted to avenge the arrest of their four commanders.
The Delhi High Court incident is yet another chapter in the ongoing Pakistan sponsored terrorism in India. Intelligence inputs had expected terrorist strike in Mumbai and while the Indian security forces were upgrading the security grid in Mumbai the terrorists struck in Delhi and that too in a crowded place like the High Court premises.
It is time for Islamabad to learn a lesson from the Quetta incident which has made it mandatory for it to join hands with New Delhi in its war against terror. The 20-year long incidents of terrorist strikes in India, that emanate from the soil of Pakistan, has clearly indicated that while Pakistani agencies have been utilising their resources and energy on exporting terror to India they have failed to tackle the problem of insurgency that has resulted in death and destruction on a massive scale in Pakistan.
Neither Islamabad nor New Delhi can tackle the menace of terrorism while being in a state of confrontation against each other. Experts favour coordination instead of confrontation between the two sides for ending terrorism. Let Islamabad forget about fighting India if it wants to achieve success in its war against terror.
And if India develops cold feet again as far as resumption of the composite dialogue with Pakistan is concerned New Delhi cannot be faulted in the backdrop of Mumbai and Delhi incidents and the series of other incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. |
