By ANITuesday, December 14, 2010
NEW DELHI - Army Chief General V K Singh on Tuesday said the Pakistan Army had exposed its ‘intentions’ by owning up and hailing as a ‘martyr’ an ISI suicide bomber who died in an Indian hospital in 2007.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an Army function here, General V.K Singh said: “I have nothing to say on what Pakistan Army has put up on its website. But if it has (owned up), then it clearly shows their intentions,”
“We have to be more alert and only then we can protect the people and our troops,” he added.ingh’s remarks came a day after the Pakistani Army’s website - www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk - claimed that an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent who was on a ’suicide attack’ operation died in a New Delhi hospital Nov 16, 2007.
The posting was in the ‘Shuhada’s (martyrs’) corner’ of the website, which had previously revealed the list of Pakistan’s dead in the 1999 Kargil operations.
The website names the operative as Naik Zulfiqar Ahmed, gives his army number as 1726016, and says he was on a ’suicide attack’. The operative, the website claims, died of kidney failure and acute respiratory infection at New Delhi’s Ganga Ram Hospital. (ANI)
