Islamabad, Jan 7 : Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence chief Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shujaa Pasha, who too is unwilling to apprehend the Taliban leadership after many claimed that Mullah Omar is in Quetta, has said that if the Taliban thinks that jihad is an obligation it is their freedom of opinion.

"Shouldn't they be allowed to think and say what they please? They believe that jihad is their obligation. Isn't that freedom of opinion?" he asked German magazie Spiegel's reporter Susanne Koelbl.

Islamabad, Jan 7: Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence chief Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shujaa Pasha has insisted that he was willing to travel to New Delhi to help in the investigation of the Mumbai terror attacks, and ruled out a war with India.

"We are distancing ourselves from conflict with India, both now and in general," Lt. General Pasha told German magazie Spiegel's reporter Susanne Koelbl.

If he had done so, Lt. General Pasha would have been the first Director General of the ISI to travel to India, a visit that would have caused a minor sensation, The Nation reports.

Instead, he stayed at home, yielding to the pressure of old antipathies. "Many people here are simply not ready," he said.

Islamabad - A bomb disposal expert was killed on Tuesday while trying to defuse a home-made explosive device planted in a market in Pakistan's north-western town of Bannu, police said.

"Inspector Rehmatullah Khan was handling the bomb when it detonated, killing the official," a local police officer, Mohabat Khan, said.

No one else was injured as the bomb disposal squad had cordoned off the site, Khan added.
