ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has made it clear that the efforts are being made to declare Pakistan a failed state, adding that the involvement of foreign hands in the recent terrorism activities around the country especially in Karachi especially cannot be ruled out. “If anyone has information about the existence of Blackwater in any area of the country, then they must share it with the interior ministry”, he said this while speaking in the National Assembly on call to attention notices submitted by the Parliamentarians including Ch. Barjees Tahir, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Sheikh Aftab and Suriya Asghar here on Tuesday. The federal interior ministry, he said, has completed data about houses being used by foreigners including Americans in the Federal Capital. Under the report submitted by the intelligence agencies to his ministry, he said that there is no Blackwater agency operating in any area of the country and wrong information in this regard is being spread to the citizens. No visa has been issued to any official of Blackwater agency, Mr Rehman told the National Assembly. The foreigners arrested from Gwadar, Islamabad and other areas of the country were not the personnel of Blackwater, he said. “I am ready to give an in-camera briefing to the house over the law and order situation of the country”, he said. Under the constitution, he said, he is bound to reply to every question of the Parliamentarians. According to the survey, he said, there are 411 Americans residing in Islamabad out of which 289 are diplomats and they have 178 houses in Federal Capital.
