Terror attacks like Hyderabad blasts doomed to fail: US

WASHINGTON: The US has said that the terror attacks in Hyderabad is not going to 'colour' President George W Bush's perceptions that the usage of fear as a political weapon by terror outfits will fail.

"I don't think this in any way colours the President's perceptions of the terror network...to try wherever possible to use fear as a political weapon. It's not going to work," the White House Spokesman Tony Snow said on Friday.

"The President has talked about for a long time that the natural human desire for freedom and self-determination will ultimately crush those who believe that somehow they've got a better sell in saying that if you don't do what we want, we will terrorise you, we will behead you," he said.

"...al Qaeda tried fear in Iraq and what has happened is that the Iraqi people have risen up," he said.
   
"It doesn't mean that terrorists are simply going to give up; they're not. They're going to do their very best to try to scare people. But they have tried and they have failed," Snow added.
