Pakistan: Bilawal Bhutto chides Taliban over Islamabad blast remarks

PPP Chairman Bilawal Zardari Bhutto on Wednesday scolded Taliban for their statement in the wake of a bomb attack at a fruit market in Islamabad, in which at least 24 people were killed.

In a media statement following the blast, Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shah denounced the Islamabad bombing as un-Islamic. "The deaths of innocent people in attacks on public places are saddening. Such attacks are wrong and against Islamic law," Shaid said. The young PPP leader responded to Taliban’s statement. “I don't know whether to laugh or cry - "TTP Spox says attacks on public places and casualties deplorable, such acts are illegal and 'Haram'",” Bhutto wrote on twitter.
