Apart from being quite unworthy in its total departure from reality of a journalist or journalism it was clearly no (repeat no) contribution to present situation.

Spokesman went on to say that any imperial observer, having seen for himself, on the one hand the restraint of police and Government's rigid adherence to processes of law, and on other hand the degeneration of so-called "struggle" to indiscriminate terrorism involving

murder of young children, would assume that statements made at "press conference" handly seemed to be about the same place or the same events.

"It is too late for these people to divert attention from the murders and other crimes they have committed and applauded" spokesman concluded. "If that was the purpose of 'press conference

press conference' it has failed miserably".
