THIS is apropos of the letter ‘Lal Masjid report’ (April 28) in which the writer absolved Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf of all charges and heaped the whole responsibility on the so-called Taliban.

Musharaf ruled the roost for about nine years, but the decisions taken under his patronage have proved so devastating for the country that now the chickens have come home to roost.

The drone attack issue is in reference.

The current phenomenon of suicide attacks in Pakistan began after the adventurism of Lal Masjid. Later he admitted the folly of messing up this case.
