Pakistan 'not to blame for bombs'

A BBC News Report Pakistan 'not to blame for bombs'. Here are some quotes from the article:

The UK should try not to blame foreign countries for influencing the London suicide bombers, a leading Pakistani diplomat has said.

Munir Akram, Islamabad's ambassador to the United Nations, spoke after reports linking his country to the killers.... ......

Mr Akram told the BBC that Britain had to look at its own problems to understand the root causes of terror.... .....

But he believes Britain is now a "breeding ground for terrorists too", has its own radical preachers and now "home-grown suicide bombers".... .....

Rather, it was the years spent in Britain that transformed them into the UK's first suicide bombers, he said.

"They were born in Britain, bred there, lived there, worked there, were - by all accounts - British lads.

"What motivated British lads to do this? It is not because their blood was from Pakistan.

"Whatever angst they had was a result of living in Britain." .... .....

"It is important not to pin blame on somebody else when the problem lies internally.

"Your policies in the Middle East, your policies in the Islamic world, that is the problem with your society... and that is where the problem lies as far as this incident is concerned."

"It would be a grave mistake to point fingers at Pakistan or anybody else outside your country." ...... ....

Perfectly clear: The fault lies with the policies of Tony Blair, his lies, his deceit, his double standards, his being the poodle of Bush,...

And let us not beat about Bush about this...
