Via Yahoo News : Iran cleric says Pakistan becoming 'terrorist sanctuary'
A top Iranian cleric accused Pakistan on Friday of becoming a "terrorist sanctuary," following an upsurge of violence on the two nations' border area that Tehran blames on plots by arch foe the United States and on Pakistan's inability to control its border. "Though Pakistan is our neighbour, little by little it is losing its neighbourly manners. Pakistan has become a sanctuary of terrorists who kill people in Zahedan," hardline cleric Hojatoleslam Ahmad Khatami told Friday worshippers in Tehran.
"Pakistan should be careful not to fall into the US trap, since it will be the loser, undoubtedly," Khatami added in a sermon broadcast live on state radio.
Khatami's provocative remarks will inflame sectarian hatred in Pakistan.
History tell us that Iranians have been interfering the internal affairs of Pakistan.
Shia militant organizations have been trained and financed by Iranians. I know several of my Shia friends have received training in Parachinar.
