Blaming the controversial private US security firm, Blackwater, for the recent bloodshed in the country, Pakistan Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan has said that the security firm is working under the 'supervision' of Interior Minister Rehman Malik.

Interacting with media persons during a press conference here, Hasan urged the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) led government to sack Malik to save the sanctity of the post.

"Karachi target killing and Lahore bombings were carried out by Blackwater. The Interior Minister was supervising all the activities of Blackwater across the country.uch incidents would continue unless the interior minister is removed," The News quoted Hasan, as saying.

Referring to the recent foreign secretary level talks between India and Pakistan, Hasan said any dialogue between both countries would not yield results unless the Kashmir dispute is resolved.

Commenting on the US' presence in Afghanistan, he said the Afghan soil has been used for 'proxy wars' in the past, and now America is planning to use the troubled nation against Iran. (ANI)
