ARTICLE SNIPPET: “SARAJEVO: President Pervez Musharraf said a possible US attack on Iran would be a “terrible mistake”, in an interview published here on Friday.

“It will be a terrible mistake if President George Bush orders an attack against Iran,” Musharraf told Sarajevo daily Dnevni Avaz ahead of his visit to Bosnia. “I’m concerned about the possibility that a US attack on Iran (would cause) turbulence in the region,” he said, warning it would spark “radicalism”.

Musharraf reiterated accusations against Afghan President Hamid Karzai about Pakistan’s lack of readiness to fight terrorism. Afghan authorities “must stop spreading those bare-faced lies. President Karzai must stop deluding the world,” said Mussaraf.

He also denied accusations from Karzai that al-Qaeda head Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mulla Muhammad Omar were in Pakistan. in a separate interview with Al-Jazeera, President Musharraf on Friday said Afghanistan should stop accusing Pakistan about its internal situation and understand the realities where the Afghan people were now joining the ranks of Taliban.

The president rejected the baseless aspersions that everything in Afghanistan was happening from Pakistan. He said Afghan President Hamid Karzai should stop accusing Pakistan about the situation inside Afghanistan. He said the Taliban were Afghans, based inside Afghanistan, and now other non-Taliban leaders like Gulbaddin Hikmatyar were also joining the fight against the government and coalition forces.”
