The Hizb ut-Tahrir Threat
(Dawn-Pakistan) Muhammad Amir Rana - HT claims to be a non-violent movement, but has been linked to a number of terrorist plots in Pakistan, including an attempt to assassinate former president Gen. Pervez Musharraf. HT does not discount the possibility of resort to violence via the military, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of establishing the state; it rather obliges it. Naveed Butt, HT spokesman in Pakistan, states that after the establishment of the state, part of the second phase will be to widen the borders of the state through offensive jihad or aggressive warfare.
