The Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) said on May 31 that it never had ties
to Doctor Shakeel Afridi,
who is accused of treason
for helping the United States
(US) Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) find slain al
Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden,
even though Islamabad on May
30 changed its stand and said
that Doctor Afridi was jailed
for aiding LI, reports Daily
Times. “We have no link
to such a shameless man. If
we see him we’ll chew him
alive,” said Abdul Rasheed,
an LI commander, adding, “There
is no truth to this. We want
to get him ourselves. If we
get hold of him, we are going
to punish him according to
the Sharia’ah, (Islamic
Law)”. Rasheed said Afridi
was a bad doctor who had mistreated
people and that was why they
wanted to punish him. “He
is a traitor, an enemy of
Islam, a greedy blackmailer,”
he said. |
