In the result of explosion in capital of Pakistan (Islamabad), carried out by the terrorist-condemned man, 15 people have been killed and 44 have received wounds.
Explosion has occurred during the meeting of oppositional forces, on which the former Supreme judge of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry ought to have made a speech. In result of act of terrorism Chaudhry has not suffered, as he has not arrived t the stated time.
Any of terrorist groupings, operating in Pakistan yet has not incurred the responsibility for explosion in capital. The president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf has publicly condemned the act of terrorism, however, Chaudhry’s supporters consider, that the Pakistan special services the Pakistan special services stand behind the act of terrorism, which has been directed on their leader.
The political situation in Pakistan has become critical after the Supreme judge has been discharged by the president’ decree. The opposition accuses President Pervez Musharraf that thus he eliminates legal obstacles on the way to new presidential term. The matter is that Chaudhry is well known for independence of the judgments and he opposed some decisions of the Pakistan government.
Besides it is impossible to exclude, that activization of insurgents is connected with operation against Islamites, who captured in the Red mosque in Islamabad. We shall remind, the governmental army has started storm of a mosque, when intense negotiations in what have not brought any positive results.
