On the fifth anniversary of the attack on Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan, which resulted in the al-Qaeda leader’s death, a number of MPs on Monday criticized western countries, especially the U.S of recklessly supporting terror donors.
MPs said the U.S knows that terrorists are being funded in Pakistan but that Washington continues to assist Pakistan instead of putting pressure on it to stop the practise.
“Leadership of all terrorist movements in Afghanistan takes place in Quetta, Peshawar, and other parts of Pakistan. And they [terrorist] live freely there and all facilities are provided to them. If the international community and America wants to fight terrorism then they must put pressure on Pakistan,” said an MP Abdul Hai Akhondzada.
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has also accused Pakistan of backing terrorism.
“It is completely clear where terrorism nests are located and we hope that Pakistan truly fights against terrorism as Afghans are fighting it,” said MoI spokesman Sediq Sediqqi.
“World powers not trying a lot as they don’t want to lose some allies such as Pakistan because Pakistan is important for them from every aspect,” said House Secretary Abdul Rauf Enami said.
Al-Qaeda’s late founder Osama bin Laden, was killed five years ago on Monday during an attack by U.S troops in Abbottabad city in Pakistan – where he was living.
Pakistan had however continued to deny bin Laden was living in their country.
Analysts believe that as long as the international community and the U.S does not eliminate the roots of terrorism and does not bring necessary pressure on Pakistan, terrorism will not be eliminated.http://www.tolonews.com/en/afghanistan/25083-us-blasted-over-reckless-support-of-terror-donors
