This successful operation could be attributed to the joint efforts of the soldiers with the participation of the American forces, and of course, with the prayers of everybody,

We're a self-respecting sovereign state, and we will not allow any other country to impose its will on us if it's against our national interest,

We have placed our entire police forces and armed forces on red alert.

I thank our people for their support in the war against terror. We shall not let our guard down and we shall prevail in every battle for peace and freedom.

We are concerned. We are taking the appropriate measures, but we are not panicking.

We are mandated and guided by the constitution and we will thwart any attempt by any vested interest groups to exploit the situation to their advantage,

When you have so many tons of explosives running around and you don't know where they are -- that definitely will be a source of concern,

What is most disturbing, ... Is that one of them -- so far according to the tactical interrogation -- have been confirmed to have links with the JI.

They have their interest to protect and we will do everything to pursue ours.

It might be too early to say. We are still investigating.
