There are elements within us who target innocent people for money they receive from our enemy… this is the same enemy who we come face to face (with) courageously at the Wagah border daily," the report online news agency as saying.
'(Our enemy) talks of friendship on the one hand and on the other, it fires shells on civilians along the LoC and working boundaries. We have to win the war on terror at any costs."
"The Attock blast probe will take some more time but security agencies are closing in on the suspects. The culprits are on our target, we are just waiting for completion of the investigation and they will be brought to justice soon," he said.
