Hizb ut Tahrir Condemns Karachi Blasts
Kayani/Zardari Shedding Muslim Blood and Fanning Sectarianism for America

Hizb ut Tahrir condemns the brutal twin bombings in Karachi. It extends duas for the forty-five who died and the hundreds injured. May their grieving relatives have the strength to face this outrageous incident, Ameen. In order to fulfill American interests, Kayani and Zardari are playing "Holee," painting with Muslim blood, and fanning sectarianism. General Kayani, President Zardari and traitors within the political and military leadership are responsible for bombings, target killings, unrest in Karachi, Quetta and across the country. These rulers capture Muslims who are required by their master America, but when people demand they protect the lives and property of Muslims and bring killers to justice, they simply point fingers against each other. Kayani's thugs found Naveed Butt, the spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in Pakistan, who was involved in a peaceful political struggle, in the second largest city of the country, but they act as if they are unaware of the real criminals, terrorists, who are bombing and killing people at will. In two major cities of Pakistan, where federal and provincial governments, army, rangers, police, judiciary, agencies, in fact the whole state machinery is present, frequent killings and bombings on such a scale can not go on without government patronage. Can any sane citizen, who knows the politics of Pakistan and the power of these institutions and agencies, believe their lie?  Certainly not.

America wants to spread its war against Islam to the major cities of Pakistan. The Ummah knows that General Kayani and a small group of traitors in the political and military leadership have granted visas and allowed terrorists of the "Raymond Davis" network to hover in and around the sensitive military and civilian places across the country, so as to spill the blessed blood of Muslims, through bombings and target killings. This matter is so clear that the Ummah never grabs the necks of fellow Muslims after every so-called sectarian or ethnic killing or bombing, rather they always hold America and its agent rulers responsible for these gruesome incidents. This is why we saw yesterday that even after the passage of several hours of this inhuman incident, neither the rulers nor any of their institutions dared to enter the place of the incident, because they knew that they will face the wrath and severe anger of the people.

Every one knows whether they are Ulema or traders, lawyers or doctors, industrialists or journalists that General Kayani and President Zardari are responsible for the killings of their fellow colleagues. Hizb ut Tahrir appeals to all of them that they should name these criminals openly, protest and register charge sheet FIRs against them and join Hizb ut Tahrir's struggle in order to uproot these traitors by the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate". Hizb ut Tahrir asks the sincere officers in the armed forces for how long will you witness this American plan and the shedding of the blood of your brothers and sisters at the hands of traitors with in political and military leadership. You know very well that the actual responsible for these bomb blasts and killings are Kayani and Zardari. So why does your honor not move you. How many killings of Muslims will force you to take an action against the criminal traitors? O sincere officers of the armed forces! Stand up and uproot traitors with in the political and military leadership and give Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate". InshaAllah courts of Khilafah "Caliphate" will account these traitors and killers for every single soul that they have killed.
