Says such acts of wanton aggression undermined war on terror

Islamabad June 12, 2008: Co-Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party Senator Asif Ali Zardari has expressed grave concern over the air strike by coalition forces on a security check post of the Frontier Corps along the Pak-Afghan border in the Mohmand agency of the tribal areas.

At least ten paramilitary soldiers and another ten civilians were reportedly killed in an air strike by US led forces in Mohmand tribal region on Tuesday.

In a statement today the PPP Co-Chairman said that such acts of unprovoked aggression could undermine the war on terror on the one hand and fuel resentment among the people of Pakistan against the US on the other.

The air raid is a condemnable act and the people of Pakistan will not allow violation of their self-respect and dignity and national honor, he said.

Mr. Asif Ali Zardari expressed the hope that such thoughtless acts of aggression will not occur in the future.
 
The PPP Co-Chairman also prayed for those who lost their lives in the air raid and expressed sympathies with the members of bereaved families over the loss of their near and dear ones.
