FIA targeted for anti-terror role
ISLAMABAD: Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director General Tariq Pervez said on Tuesday that the agency might have been targeted because of its role against terrorists. “Our organisation provided valuable input in the investigations into various terrorists activities in the country,” he told Daily Times on Tuesday, soon after the attack on an FIA establishment in Lahore. “However, they could have chosen this target as part of their strategy for targeting the law-enforcement agencies.” Terrorists were now focusing on Lahore, their new target, he said. He confirmed that the FIA was already under the threat of an attack. azaz syed
