Quetta (Qudrat News): Banned religious terrorist organization, Lashkar-e
Jhangvi (LEJ), has claimed responsibility for the suicide blast on Kirani Road,
Hazara Town. The spokesman, Abu Bakr Sidiq, called the news
channels on Saturday evening from an identified location and said that
the attack was carried out by our colleague, Umar Farooq.
We tell the
Government that they should be under no illusion that the Governor Rule
will divert our attention from our enemy - the Shias. We want to tell the
Shias that they should not consider themselves safe until the establishment
of the Islamic Caliphate [in Pakistan]. The Mujahideens of LEJ will kill
them irregardless of Governor rule or Army deployment. We will protect
the honor of the Islamic Caliphs [blessing upon them] by sacrificing each
and everyone of us.
In 2013, this was our second suicide attack in the Shia
areas. Like this, we have 20 vehicles full of explosives ready for our
suicide bombers. Soon as we get the order [from Malik Ishaq], their target
will be Alamdar Road, Mehr Abad, and Hazara Town. God Willing, now we will
kill Shias in their homes and we are not afraid of any Govenor Rule nor
Army. We have said before, that we honor martyrdom and by the Grace of
God, in search for this martyrdom, we are holding our ground even during
the Governor rule.
The spokesman said, we want to tell the Sunnis, for
God sake, strap your bodies with bombs and stand up with LEJ in the fight
against the Shias, because they are seeing that in Hyderabad city [in Sindh]
a statue of Hazrat Umar Farooq (blessing) was build to dishonor him. And
in many other parts of Pakistan, the Religious leaders, all Sunni Muslims, and Taliban are martyred. If Sunnis won't rise up, then they should refrain from having any relation with the Shias because now either we will live
in Balochistan or the Shias. And we watch the Media reports and read the
reports from our opposition that some are helping us [alluding to intelligence
agencies and/or ministers in the local Balochistan govt]. We want to clarify
that THEY have never helped us nor have we ever had the need for
THEIR help or will ever need it. We seek help from Allah in this fight and this fight will end as Balochistan becoming the graveyard of the Shias.
