Pakistan based militant outfits on Friday opposed any move by Islamabad to extend support to Washington in tracking Osama bin Laden, who the US said was the prime suspect in Tuesday's terrorist strikes, in Afghanistan and vowed to Stand shoulder to shoulder with their Afghan brethren. A spokesman of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), in a report on the outfit's website, said the statement of President Pervez Musharraf pledging unstinted co-operation against terrorism amounted to permitting interference in the internal affairs by a foreign power.
Referring to US' possible attacks on Afghanistan to hunt down laden, the outfit said in such a situation, All Mujahideen organisations would stand shoulder to shoulder with their Afghan brethren. The report said Mujahideen organisations were opposed to terrorism as Islam never supported the killing of innocent people and civil population. However, one must differentiate between jihad and terrorism.
