Number of Blackwater personnel exceeds cops in Islamabad: Fazl

February 7, 2010

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that as many as 9,000 Blackwater personnel were present in Islamabad, adding that the strength of capital police is 7,000. While talking to a private TV channel in Lakki Marwat, Fazal said that destability facing the country was caused by weakening of the democratic government. He prayed that those elements should take over the government who were against abuse of power. He deplored that Blackwater has unleashed Taliban-like reign of terror in Pakistan.
