‘Foreign agencies abducting, killing innocent Pakistanis in the name of war on terror’
December 19th, 2009 - 6:00 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )Islamabad, Dec. 19 (ANI): A parliamentary committee investigating US security agency Blackwater’s presence in Pakistan has raised an alarm over the recent spate of extra-judicial killings and abductions of innocent citizens by foreign agencies “under the garb of the war on terror”.
The concerns were expressed by members of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Human Rights, which was chaired by Riaz Fatiyana.
The sub-committee’s convener, Javed Hashmi, informed that a group named Special American was operating in Pakistan, and that it had tried to buy a hotel in Peshawar.
The committee unanimously decided to propose to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to take steps to stop the activities of foreign agencies in the country.
The committee also sought a detailed report within three months.
The committee also sought a list of missing persons particularly those who disappeared from Balochistan. (ANI)
