Hizb ut Tahrir Calls for All out War and Use of Pakistan’s Nukes
The Pakistani branch of British Islamist organization Hizbut Tahrir has called for martyrdom attacks by 160 million Pakistanis on U.S. soldiers, deployment of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and banishment of U.S. soldiers and intelligence officials, according to two press releases on Hizbut Tahrir’s website.
A statement issued by Hizbut Tahrir on September 29, 2008 said: ‘‘Deploy nuclear weapons all over Pakistan and warn the crusaders and their allies of a stern response should they persist in their violation of Pakistan’s territorial integrity…. [I]t will bolster the country’s ability to effectively counter regional and international threats. If a small nuclear country like North Korea… can spurn US advances, then Pakistan, a far stronger nuclear power with the seventh largest army in the world, is in a far better position to accomplish much more.’’
