Suicide bomber sisters meant to fuel sectarian violence in Pak

Islamabad: Pakistani officials have said that the arrest of the two sisters who had allegedly been trained as suicide bombers, has removed a major threat of Pakistan getting engulfed in a fresh spate of sectarian violence. Police officials said the two sisters were well-educated daughters of a wealthy bank executive, who had each married a top member of the Laskar-e-Jhangvi group and received training as suicide bombers. "It removes a major threat because such an unusual attack using female suicide bombers would have caused a lot of damage. It would have set an example for others to follow," The News quoted a senior police official, involved in the fight against sectarian violence, as saying. While the women's mother insists that her daughters were innocent and educated, police however claims that the two were brainwashed by their uncle Gul Hasan, who was involved in two suicide attacks on Imambargahs in Karachi in 2004, which killed 45 people. Hasan was, last week sentenced to death.
