- National Post editorial board: Pakistan's two-faced game
-
If anything has been proven by the reported killing on Wednesday of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, it is that Pakistan is fully capable of liquidating Islamist terrorists operating on its soil — when it wants to. Unfortunately, Pakistan targets only those murderers who, like Mehsud, threaten the regime in Islamabad — not those who seek to wage jihad in India or Afghanistan.
The Pakistanis have long been playing a two-faced game. They pretend to be partners in the War on Terror when it suits their own purposes, then pretend not to know what is going on in their own tribal provinces.
Why did they co-operate in the killing of Mehsud? Because he is believed to have been behind the 2007 bomb attack that killed former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Bhutto’s widower, Asif Ali Zardari, is now Pakistan’s President. Revenge was almost certainly a motive for Islamabad’s teamwork.
