NEW YORK, March 17: Against the backdrop of the spate of sectarian attacks in Pakistan, the New York Times quotes Pakistani officials and Western diplomats as saying that the militants in Pakistan appear to be regrouping and the attackers’ “real target appears to be the government of Gen Pervez Musharraf.”
In an article on Sunday before the Islamabad’s attack on church, the Times said that the militants “are angry about his (Musharraf’s) decision to side with the United States in the war against the Taliban and his domestic policy of getting tough on terrorists at home.
“This is going to get worse,” a Western diplomat here told the NYT.
