True Story of Mumbai Carnage

 True Story of Mumbai Carnage:

The true story of the Mumbai Carnage of November 26, 2008 has been proved when a day after the Indian media exposed the name of the terrorist, Wazhul Qamar Khan  whose name was included in the list of 50 alleged terrorists given to Pakistan in March, on May 18, this year, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram was compelled to admit that what the media described an embarrassing lapse, but disowned responsibility for preparing the list. Chidambaram said that it was “his ministry that handed over the names to Pakistan in March and made them public recently.” But at the same time, showing self-contradictions, he also acknowledged it as a mistake, while accepting responsibility. 

On the other hand, Pakistan’s security and intelligence agencies were desperately looking for Wazhul Khan and had his name not been made public.................  Read More

Foreign Elements Behind Naval Base Attack

  Foreign Elements Behind Naval Base Attack:

On May 23, this year, six terrorists who were equipped with heavy weapons attacked Pakistan Navy’s airbase, PNS Mehran in Karachi. They also destroyed two P-3C Orion aircraft, detonating explosives at the naval base. Afterwards, an intense gunfight broke out between the attackers and the security forces including naval commandos. But after 16 hours, the PNS Mehran base was cleared from the terrorists. Spokesman Navy said that 10 security personnel were martyred in the operation, while four terrorists were killed, and two escaped.

It is mentionable that unlike the past wars, being fought between two sovereign state actors, in the present era, non-state actors employ lethal weapons such as suicide attacks, bomb blasts, targeted killings and similar other tactics of guerilla warfare which can be more harmful in damaging the interest of a target-country.

Pakistan’s Insecurity Means US Insecurity

 Pakistan’s Insecurity Means US Insecurity:

Despite tough statements of the US high officials, showing a paradoxical approach of Washington against Islamabad in connection with Osama Bin Laden who was killed in a US military raid at Abbottabad in Pakistan, America wants to continue its relationship with Pakistan which is a frontline state of war on terror. 

On May 18, this year, some US Senators and law-makers urged the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defence Secretary Robert Gates to review the security assistance of Pakistan, while some suggested cutting off the aid of the former, saying that some of its intelligence agencies were aware of the hideout of Bin Laden. But on May 19, Defence Secretary Gates and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen stated that there was no evidence that leaders in Islamabad knew the whereabouts of the Al Qaeda chief before a US raid.

Why Pak-China Friendship Strengthens?

The recent visit of Prime Minster Yousaf Raza Gilani to China is being viewed with great anticipation owing to the unilateral operation conducted by the US forces on Pakistan to kill Osamabin Laden, and US coercive diplomacy, emphasizing old American maxim to ‘do more’ against the militants. In this regard, on May 18, this year, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani reaffirmed that the two countries will maintain an all-weather friendship.

While, supporting Pakistan’s stance and strategy to fight terror, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao informed Pakistan’s prime minister that during the recently held third-round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington, Beijing had conveyed to Washington that no country has the right to violate another country’s sovereignty, thereby making clear China’s stance on the US violation of Pakistan’s airspace to attack Osama bin Laden.

Al Qaeda Already Franchised

 Al Qaeda Already Franchised:

In the aftermath of the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden who was killed in a covert military operation by the US in Pakistan’s city, Abbottabad, contradictory statements of American high officials including their media continue against Pakistan, its armed forces and especially spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) as part of a propaganda campaign. In this respect, by ignoring the sacrifices of Pak Army and efforts of ISI in relation to war on terror, America is distorting Pakistan’s image.

Meanwhile, various sources suggest that videos released by the Pentagon about Osama Bin Laden are actually fake. British daily, Guardian (Online) and BBC have also indicated suspicion about his death at Abbotabad. On May 2, in the ARY TV channel, Pakistan’s former Chief of Army Staff, General Mirza Aslam described Osama’s death by the US raid as a big drama, adding that he was already died in Tora Bora fighting.

Bin Laden’s last genuine video appeared in the late 2001 when the CNN in February1, 2009 indicated that he got diabetes and kidney problems. On December 26, 20001, Egyptian newspaper, Al-Wafd disclosed that a prominent official of the Afghan Taliban movement announced that Osama bin Laden died a natural death.

Whose Intelligence Failure?

Whose Intelligence Failure?:

After the death of top Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in a covert military operation by the US in Pakistan’s city, Abbottabad, contradictory statements of American high officials coupled with their media continue as part of a deliberate propaganda campaign against Pakistan, targeting its Army and spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

In this connection, on May 3, CIA Director Leon Panetta said that American officials ruled out informing Islamabad about a planned raid against Osama Bin Laden’s compound, as they feared their Pakistani counterparts might alert the Al Qaeda chief.

Earlier on May 2, Obama stated that cooperation with the US anti-terror ally had helped lead the US forces to the terror chief. On the same day, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated, “our counter-terrorism cooperation over a number of years now with Pakistan contributed greatly to our efforts to dismantle Al-Qaeda…in fact, Pakistan’s intelligence helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound in which he was hiding.”

While on May 8, White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon stressed that, despite the fugitive terror chief, hiding for years in a three-storey house near the capital Islamabad.

India’s Wishful Thinking

 India’s Wishful Thinking:

Since May 2, this year when top Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a nighttime helicopters operation by the US covert forces in Pakistan’s city, Abbottabad, Indian high officials and media have started a deliberate propaganda campaign against Pakistan.

In this regard, on the same day, while maligning Islamabad, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram said that the killing of Bin Laden, “deep inside Pakistan” show that world’s terrorists “belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in that country.”

Without naming Pakistan, Indian External Affairs Minister SM Krishna stated that the world “must not let down” its united effort to eliminate the safe havens that have been provided to terrorists in its neighbourhood.

New Delhi, while urging the Pakistan government to arrest the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks of 2008, also accused Pakistan’s spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of supporting the militants.

By following the blame game of the US-led some western countries, India has left no stone unturned in distorting the image of Pakistan in connection with terrorism.                  Read More

       Osama: Scapegoat of US Multiple Aims:

Top Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a nighttime helicopter raid by US covert forces in Pakistan’s city, Abbottabad on May 2, 2011 at 1:15 am, ending a decade-long manhunt for the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks. US media reports revealed that Bin Laden’s body was buried at sea, in a bid to prevent his final resting place from becoming a shrine for extremists.

Significance of Pak-US & Afghan Strategic Dialogue

Significance of Pak-US & Afghan Strategic Dialogue:
While rejecting media assertions on Islamabad advising Kabul against cooperation with the United States, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani said on May 2, this year that strategic dialogue among Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US is scheduled to be held in Islamabad on May 3.
High-level strategic dialogue among the US, Pakistan and Afghanistan set for scheduled for February 23-24, 2011 in Washington had been postponed due to a serious crisis, sparked by the arrest of an American, Raymond Davis who was accused of murdering two Pakistani nationals.

The significance of the Pak-US and Afghan dialogue can be judged from the fact that in these trilateral annual talks, ministers and other top officials of Islamabad, Washington and Kabul outline progress on issues such as the war in Afghanistan and the campaign against extremism.

However, these trilateral talks are likely to be held at a time when a positive shift has already occurred in the Pak-Afghan relations on April 16 as with the consent of America.
