| October 8, 2009 | Foreigners in Pak advised to restrict movements following UN building attack | | Islamabad:
Following the suicide attack
on the UN World Food Programme building (WFP) in which three persons were killed,
several foreign missions in Islamabad have issued travel advisories to their citizens.
According to sources, foreign countries, through their missions, have advised
their citizens in Pakistan to restrict their movement and remain vigilant. Interior
Minister Rehman had also warned about more such attacks in near future, soon after
the ghastly attack on the WFP building on Monday. A statement issued by the Malaysian
Foreign Ministry asked Malay people to avoid visiting potential target areas.
"According to the Pakistani authorities, another large-scale suicide bombing may
take place and, therefore, Malaysians are advised to be more vigilant and avoid
going to potential target areas," the statement said. Meanwhile, President Asif
Ali Zardari has said such terror strikes would not dent Pakistan's determination
to fight against militants operating on its soil. "The people of Pakistan are
shedding the blood to make the country, the region and the world safe and free
from extremist elements," The Dawn quoted Zardari, as saying during a meeting
with World Food Programme Executive Director Josette Sheeran. | |
