<b>Back to the business of terrorism</b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The “victory” celebration after the calling off of the Long March was still going on when a suicide-bomber struck at the Pirwadhai bus station in Rawalpindi, killing 14 people. The immediate speculation was that the suicide bomber was despatched to hit the Long March itself since it was to pass near where the terrorist finally killed himself. Those who think that the attack had some other purpose will have to explain it more cogently than they are doing it now. “Creating panic among the general public” won’t do. All terrorism is supposed to do that in routine.

However there are certain expressions which we must avoid as victims of terrorism. The Interior Adviser Mr Rehman Malik has said “he could not say anything about the involvement of foreign quarters” and then added: “Only anti-Pakistan elements could be involved in such heinous acts”. This is not original. As if to put the record straight, the Taliban Tehreek of Mohmand has messaged to own the Pirwadhai suicide attack.

Let us be frank. <b>The victory of the Long March which came at the end of an almost year-long political bickering has been gained at the cost of ignoring the two-ton gorilla in the drawing-room : terrorism from the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the erstwhile jihadi organisations now on the payroll of Al Qaeda.</b> For the last several months Pakistan has seen an alarming increase in the incidence of terrorism while the campaign went on against the government’s broken promises on the restoration of the judges deposed by President Pervez Musharraf. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
