ISI

Nawaz Sharif’s mission to bring former President Pervez Musharaf to court is getting him into a whole lot of mess. Earlier we had Brigadier Imtiaz going all guns blazing against Nawaz Sharif, this time its Khalid Khawaja ex- ISI official. Its high time with all the former official leaving no quarters in raising curtains on all the past deeds. Its a bad precedence , i believe and officials and sensitive matters should not be allowed to be disclosed. It ofcourse starts with people accusing each other of wrong doing and in the process they are ready to bring shame to Pakistan in the personal battles against their foes. What a shame!

Former ISI director Khalid Khwaja alleged that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had persistently asked him to use his influence to stop the 2008 presidential election. He said that PML-N Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif asked him to help the party to stop the presidential elections 2008. But he refused to do so and said that he could not do anything in this matter. He claimed that former Supreme Court Chief Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Saddiqui was a witness to this conversation. He said that PML-N leader Siddiq-ul-Farooq was approaching his witness Ali Ahmed Mehr on behalf Nawaz Sharif. They are trying to purchase him but have failed, he said.

He said that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had met Osama Bin Laden six times with him in which four meetings were exclusive. I was with Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif at the time of meetings in which Osama offered Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif investment in construction projects in Pakistan, he said. “I challenge PML-N Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to prove me wrong at any platform,” he said.

He said that PML-N wanted to humiliate him and downgrade his reputation as ISI director. He asserted that ISI was the best institution in the country. “I would raise curtain from several other facts very soon,” he said. He also said that he was receiving threats to his life for some days.

Brigadier Imtiaz has suddenly emerged into the lime light of media for his statements giving insight into the murky politics of Pakistan in 1990’s. Since being a Pro-Pakistan, i personally hate the era of 1990’s when our politicians made fun of the democracy and brought misery into the life of common citizens of Pakistan. Even Musharraf can be termed an indirect product of the actions of the political governments of 90’s.

Brigadier Imtiaz, the men whose in the headlines these days, is also one of the insider to the dramas and corruption carried out in the same 90’s era by Benazir Bhutto PPP, Nawaz Sharif PML and Altaf Hussain MQM. Let’s see first whose Brigadier Imtiaz himself and how come he has so much insider info that he has attracted the attention of the whole country towards himself? Why he emerged now to clear his conscience and what is his point of view on the the said situation.  I will try to quote as many sources as possible so that our readers have a clear idea about the whole scenario.

Balochistan Liberation Army - BLA - A Detail Insight: Day 2:

This is the second day of our research into Balochistan Liberaiton Army (BLA). Our first day of research was about

• BLA Mission, Stated Objectives and Real Objectives
• BLA - History - How and Who created it!

Today we will see how this organization has expanded and from where it is getting its material, moral and political support.

Day 2:  Operations and Working of Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Its Potential Backers in the Region

For any organization like BLA, it is important to have a strong financial system that can support its activities throrugh thick and thin. For the successful operation of BLA, it was necessary to have a strong and sustainable logistical, material, human and financial support system in place. Since KGB was earlier providing all this support in close association with Indian intelligence agency RAW, the new renewed insurgency will require similar backing.

However, this time the list of supporters to BLA has significantly increased. The former enemies i. Russian and Americans have become allies and Indians, Afghans and Israeli’s have joined them as well. The result is a very strong and resourceful network of operatives. Since India has traditionally maintained strong local network in Pakistan, RAW enjoys a strong position among the group of countries hell bent on destabilizing Baluchistan.

Therefore, as we said in our Day 1, an investigative story by News Central Asia, the first batch of planner and trainers constituded two Indians, two American and an Afghan. They quickly did the ground work and set up the first training camp to start the Balochistan insurgency.  According to News CentralAsia story,

“The first camp had some 30 youth and initial classes comprised mainly of indoctrination lectures. The main subjects were:

1. Baloch’s right of independence,
2. The Concept of Greater Balochistan,
3. Sabotage as a tool for political struggle,
4. Tyranny of Punjab and plight of oppressed nations,
5. Media-friendly methods of mass protest.

“Manuals, guidelines and even lecture plans were available in the Kometit [KGB] archives. Except for media interaction, they virtually followed the old plans,” told Sasha, another former KGB agent, who also served in Baluchistan.

These archives were getting dusty  but thanks to American interest in the region and to use Baluchistan as a bargaining chip against Pakistan and Iran, the manuals had to be taken out for their possible use.

Baithullah Mehsud came to power when his predecessor Abdullah Mehsud was killed in a firefight with Pakistani security agencies. The tip off on the location of Abdullah Mehsud is said to have come from an unknown source. Now there is a controversy that the source for the information was Baithullah Mehsud who wanted to take over the Mehsud Tribes and other factions fighting against the government intervention in FATA. Abdullah Mehsud was a relatively peaceful person since he believed in Jihad in Afghanistan against the foreign forces led by USA. He was not interested in fighting Pakistan army and its people. The other theory says that the tip off came from CIA who wanted Baitullah Mehsud to lead the tribals against Pakistani army and create anarchy in Pakistan and resulting declare Pakistan a country not suitable to hold its nuclear weapons. It is also worth mentioning here that the second point is also supported by another argument that the Americans killed Naik Muhammad, who signed  a peace deal with Pakistan, and only wanted the Tribals to fight the Americans and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Since the take over of Baithullah Mehsud, the image of Talibans have suffered a major blow as all Pakistani’s consider them as a pure group of terrorists hell bent on destroying Pakistan. Ironically, American drones have been successful in killing the most elusive members of Al-Qaeda and Afghan Talibans but failed to kill Baithullah Mehsud. Pakistan intelligence agencies provided Americans with concrete information on the location of Baithullah Mehsud but somehow the CIA led drones never tried to attack Baitullah Mehsud. On the other hand, Baithullah Mehsud is using sophisticated communication system that can not be decrypted by our elite ISI. It is generally believed in intelligence circles that the same communication system is active and might be providing him with information about the Pakistani army movements and possible attacks on his life from across the border in Afghanistan. It is a still not known who is the person on the otherside providing such accurate information to Baithullah Mehsud.

It is in this background that a local leader Qari Zainuddin has come out to challenge Baithullah Mehsud authority in the South Waziristan area. Qari Zainuddin worked closely with Abdullah Mehsud and is possible aware of the circumstances in which he was killed. He has clearly blamed Baithullah Mehsud for the death of Abdullah Mehsud and he consider Baithullah Mehsud as the source of all evils that are affecting both the tribal areas in Pakistan and the  Afghan Jihad effort.

Qari Zainuddin is said to have support of all the people of Mehsud tribe who hates Baitullah Mehsud but fear him to voice their opposition. Now that the army operation is imminent, a division between the Mehsuds are becoming visible. [click to continue...]

Sometimes i seriously doubt the true intentions of few people appointed at the top positions of the country by the PPP government. I wonder of they are here just to disintegrate Pakistan at the behest of their masters sitting in the West. I am sure all our readers can easily point out whom i am talking about at this moment. Anyways, the current law and order situation in Baluchistan calls for urgent steps to address the issue of kidnapping and murder of the Baloch leaders. We all know that our enemy across the border is actively working though its consulate in Kandahar, Afghanistan to destabilize the province and providing refuge as well as money to those involved in anti-Pakistan activities.

So a day before G20 Summit commenced, Baitullah Mehsud for the first time in more than 18 months suddenly appears and says we are going to strike Washington and White House. And the next day Obama declares Al-Qaida planning to attack US from Pakistan. How convenient, who is Baitullah Mehsud serving here? Mullah Omar or CIA ? And now the public flogging of girl in Swat, which TTP has clearly called Fake attempt to destabilize the Swat peace deal. I think there is more to it than what the people assumes and what the western media is portraying at the moment. Ahmed Quraishi article gives a good overview of the deliberate attempt to sabotage the Swat deal.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Everyone knows that a public flogging like this one will create a stir. The fake Taliban who also call themselves ‘Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’ [TTP] did this intentionally. And the Pakistani media played along, repeating the footage endlessly for ratings.

The problem is that this appears to be a deliberate attempt by these suspicious ‘Pakistani Taliban’ to derail the peace deal that has robbed them from the excuse to fight their own country and people by claiming that Shariah is not implemented.

This attempt is another indicator in the piles of circumstantial evidence collected over the past two years that proves that while most of the foot soldiers of the ‘Pakistani Taliban’ are our own misguided young Pakistanis, the real handlers behind this shadowy group are people with links to the border area with Afghanistan where, according to the latest statement by Interior Adviser Rehman Malik, some 4000 foreign fighters are present.

This article was submitted to the CIA prior to publication. Passages redacted by the CIA are marked [...]

Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn, more commonly known as Abu Zubaydah, is my client. After being extensively tortured by the CIA and imprisoned in various black sites around the world, Zayn may finally be approaching his day in court. I and my co-counsel welcome that day.

But what if we are successful and establish that Zayn is not an enemy combatant? Would any country agree to take our client? The Bush administration’s misrepresentations about Zayn make that virtually impossible unless I am allowed to tell his side of the story. This article is the first step in that reclamation process.

For many years, Abu Zubaydah’s name has been synonymous with the war on terror because of repeated false statements made by the Bush administration, the majority of which were known to be false when uttered. On 17 April 2002, [...] President Bush publicly announced that Zayn had been captured: “We recently apprehended one of al-Qeida’s top leaders, a man named Abu Zubaydah. He was spending a lot of time as one of the top operating officials of al-Qeida, plotting and planning murder.”
