PAKPAC Condemns involvement of individuals of Pakistani descent in terrorist acts in London

Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) is following with serious concern the possible involvement of individuals of Pakistani descent in these grotesque terrorist attacks in London this past week.

PAKPAC unequivocally condemn such dastardly acts of terrorism by these rogue elements who are not only causing untimely loss of precious and innocent lives, but also immensely tarnishing the outlook of Pakistanis all around the world, who are hard-working, peace-loving, conscientious, and responsible civic citizens committed to see elements of evil destruct and forces of freedom to prevail in bringing about lasting peace and prosperity in the world.

We ask all Pakistani americans to exercise caution as they remain vulnerable to senseless backlash; we urge them to strengthen their resolve in continuing to promote awareness that these rogue terrorists
elements donot represent Pakistan or Pakistanis anywhere in the world.
