“The US is not curbing, arresting terrorism”: Pakistan’s Senator Iqbal Haider

The US has not played any role in curbing, arresting terrorism in our region. We must look at its inability to contain the forces and sources that support terrorism. The US, Saudi Arabia and the Arab world support extremists, militants, religious fanatics. Where are the arms and the money coming from? This must be considered when you view the Mumbai tragedy. India must be careful for it is being sucked into the so-called war against terror.

Pervez Musharraf allowed religious parties a free hand. The US supported Musharraf to the hilt. If that wasn't supporting terrorism, what is? He openly patronised all jehadis LeT, al-Qaeda, Taliban, Mehsud, Fazlullah. They follow the same religious beliefs and have the same modus operandi. And the US gave Musharraf a free hand. The biggest beneficiaries of India-Pakistan tension are these religious, militant, extremist forces in Pakistan. They are all the creation of the same midwife, the US.

Since 2001, terrorists could not have operated and succeeded without the covert and overt support of the Pakistan establishment, the US and NATO forces. At the local level, there is about 20 per cent support for the Taliban, not more than that.
