Subject: Operation Mind Game and Cover up project for Rajeev Gandhi Murder case

1. We are tracking TV and News papers for since 1990 and the objective was to know the net impact on society, nation etc and how a man can manipulate mind set of people using modern information tools and it was termed as “MIND GAME”.

2. In 1989-1990 Rajeev Gandhi came to Allahabad with his wife Soniya Gandhi. We with my friend Devendra Deo Tripathi(DDT) alias Ram Tripathi(RT) saw him at Indian Press Chauraha(IPC). Suddenly we and Rajeev watch each other and at same my mind clicked that “He was going to die, please save him”. I told this only to my friend Ram Tripathi. Later on we forget it but when Rajeev Gandhi was killed I was shocked. After that there is someone who is trying to keep me silent. Whenever we tried to talk always some causality happen, or someone in my touch had been killed. Since then it became a KAIZEN process. Some time by physical message, some time by media and some time by “KALA JADU”. The way my son gets injured assured me about this KALA JADU and one of your UP Police Inspector Mr. K.K.Dubey R/o of Vill. Dubaval, Kakara, Durvasha, Allahabad is also working on same “KALA JADU” line against some Tantrik Kandarp Narayan Mishra(KNM).

3. The root of this mind game lies in TV and news papers and it was already proven in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia case. Even it was highly used in Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejariwal issue.

4. It is stated that by same mind game a girl came in my life during 1994-95 in Rewa, Gupta Hostel where we went for MP-PMT exam. There was a student from Satna whos pet sentence was “AA HA” later on same word came in film “Ham Apke Hai Kaun” and later on he was identified as Afjal Guru. In Dehradun commercial tax department same word “AA HA” was spoken by one officer Mr. Pradeep Srivastava later on he was identified as Singh Sahab residing with Rajesh Singh Chauhan, my neighbor. One AC Hema Bisht identified as Kandarp Srivastava neighbor.

5. In year 1995 by same mind game the REWA girl again came in my life as girlfriend Renu Pandey D/o Shri G.N.Pandey. She is Sister in Law of Mr. Vivek Kumar Chaturvedi my neighbor and now he is identified as Shyam Jee Tripathi, Anglo Bangali Inter college English teacher and Son in Law of Late Major K.K.Tripathi, Maths teacher from CAV inter college. During conversations when Renu came to know that Rajeev murder case was related to me, suddenly a property dealer Raju Upadhyay(identified as G.N.Pandey / Dr. Shree Prakash Mishra)) adds another colony to our colony. Before it the layout of my colony was “OM” and after it became “OMR”. At same time my maternal uncle Dr. Sri Prakash Mishra came to our home and we went to meet Dr. R.P.Dubey Lecturer, Principal and Director for marriage of his son Abhimanyu Dubey with my 4rth sister Vinita Shukla.

6. After changing “OM” to “OMR” the Mind Game started signaling to stop relationship with Girl friend Renu Pandey because I have to marry daughter of a Teacher and the son born will be holy.

7. Sir, because entire episode was related to Rajeev Gandhi murder case that’s why I was forced to move on this PLAN and keep calm about happening around me. Second the feed was that they are SPG. But now it’s clear that this game was played by some Politian’s to protect them from Rajeev Gandhi Murder Case.

8. On 07/07/2003 our relationship closed. 773 means SST i.e. Shyam Shankar Tiwari who was ex teacher in CIC and Rape case accused. Later on its clear that Shyam Shankar Tiwari is living as Radhey Shyam Chaturvedi. At that time the feed was that MY AI WILL BE WITH RENU PANDEY (IPS) and she will act using my MIND. By same mind game in 2005 “Return Mail Tracker” (RMT) message was given and I went to Dehradun. In Dehradun I joined “Data Logics” replacing Manish Ratauri (MR). Meaning of Data Logics is that the separate both the DATA and LOGIC. After doing that the Mind Game was started getting naked. Same was passed by me through Nagar Nigam Dehradun Accounting Software, for one day system was hanged due to nonpayment but next day it was normal. You tracked it just because I had given you source code neither you are blank. Just relate it to Radisson Hotel Delhi case where two Britishers caught hacking ATC signal.

9. In Data Logics we got order to provide Total IT Support to World food Program Seminar Organise in Madhuban Hotel, Dehradun (Owner Manu Kochar – Sunil Bharati Mittal – Gyan Burnawal) and the seminar was inaugurated by the then CS R.S.Tolia. In seminar for each question coming in my mind one of Uttarakhand secretary Smt. Radha Raturi pointed Mr. Tolia. In Seminar few faces are noticeable because now they are identified- Prashant Verma, the AIIMS doctor suspended by Dr. Harshvardhan mapped to Laxmi Nivas Mittal, One SBI employee daughter Pooja identified as Sajia Iqbal / Kiran Dubey, Sweta Singh identified as Ritu Garg. One lady Mrs. Bhatia the then ADB chairman’s wife identified as Sukshama Sharma / Mena Pandey / Ghaziabad Kapoor uncle wife.

10. At that time Uttarakhand CM was Khanduri Sahib identified as Balbeer Singh / Balbeer Chacha from Rampur, friend of Mr. A.N.Saxena, my friend Nishit Kumar saxena Father. Now Nishit Kumar Saxena is identified as Kaustub Srivastava.

11. On 04/06/2006 by same mind game I got married with Samata Dubey D/o Dr. R.P.Dubey for a time period of 10 years. Till Mumbai attack 2008 I was sure that everything was as per plan. But the message interpreted by Mumbai Attack was shocking because it clearly sent a message about my AI. “MY LIFE IS A MESSAGE ABOUT CONSPIRACIES AGAINST INDIA” and 1962 WAR is main message and after this marriage the entire relationship structure was changed and a hoax environment was created so that all messages have been getting destroyed. In 2006 an Earthquake came in Dehradun. At that time I was working on computer and suddenly my mind gets blank and Kir-Kir, after that monitor fluctuates, I told this to my then boss Mr. Kriti Sharma and only he was aware about this incident. After that suddenly I was getting surrounded by some suspicious people at last I Left the Job and started tracking my AI.

12. In 2008 by Mumbai Attack the message came the everything is around “RAIL LINE (RL)”, Allahabad Agriculture Institute (AAI). It was Ashish Srivastava with whom we went to AAI first time and met to Mr. Vinod Lal. It was around 1993-94 for Ashish Srivastava BSc AG admission. One point is also important that my Maternal Brother P.K.Mishra had a court case against AAI for admission in BTech. And the AAI had admitted him after High Court order. The case was managed by My father and my maternal brother Satish Chandra Mishra. On submission of court order Mr. R. Lal had quoted that this order was written as a personal case.

13. After 2008 I caged myself in only closed relatives just to track the messages. After a long period of time we are sure that my AI was related to my either my wife or my younger sister in law Manjula Shukla. Now I am fed by this game because you use my life for case, you used my sister Baby marriage for case and now my Brother Anjul marriage for case. After analyzing all the happening and involvement of several state police and Central agencies I had taken the control of entire case and started writing directly to PMO. After that they had injected a Chip in my brain to read my mind. Though same was already with me and I was tracking that but this incident proved that I am on right track. Again proof is Renu Pandey.

14. The Entire mind game was played with me and my family and no one is ready to take responsibility. Someone passed that it is RAW, some say IB, some MI, some SS and some say ISI, some say CIA some say KGB. Sometimes they say it was done just for your security. But the question is that who ordered to play this game with me that for 1^st 10 years a girlfriend, for next 10 years a Wife and then again Girl Friend and “THE NET RESULT IS MY ENTIRE LIFE EXPLOITED”. Even after I complained to PMO, CS, President no action was taken. Even I phoned to 7RCR that China may attack but even though no one contacted me till date. Yester day again Ranjeet Sinha stated that investigation is going on please wait. Mr. Ranjeet Sinha is attached with me since 1992 and after 25-30 year still investigation on. Only then President Mrs. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil had passed one message that we are with you and all the issues will be cleared through Media.

15. “The Entire play is to shield and divert the Rajeev Gandhi murder cases”. Hence a joint investigation should be conducted and appropriate action must be taken against accused in this game. My issue is that if my AI is with Renu Pandey IPS then what she did in last 10-12 years please give me certified proof. If not then with whom My AI was / is attached and what he/she is doing with it. On complaint the entire injected team started declaring me Mad or Tantra - Mantra. The group is related to circle around me and Dr. Sri Prakash Mishra. One of his uncle Mr. Thakur Prasad Shastri was killed in village but now he is alive and playing around me. One of Ojha in Naini was my wife Samata’s uncle Chaubey ji. One of his brother Sangharsh Dubey identified as Meena Pandey living in my house as Meera Singh who is actually Mahesh Narayan Singh, the SP MLA from Handia. He met me in Delhi Kalra Hostel as Vishal Ojha, a freelance journalist. He is one who met me in Jagriti Hospital with Dr. R.P.Dubey (after death), Preeti Saxena, Rachana Burnawal having Snake tattoo in left hand wrist.

16. If entire game was to secure me then how it can be possible someone tried to attack me in Dehradun and immediately I complained to 7RCR in HINDI. Hence it’s my humble request that please take immediate action.

17. I complained the entire game to president letter no. PRSEC//E/2011/13781, in response to my RTI President Secretariat replied that letter was forwarded to MHA on 29/09/2011. On 11/03/2013 that no such letter was received. Now the question is that where it went and who is responsible for it?

18. One of my friend Mr. Sidharth Srivastava (identified as Ashok Gitte / Sai Girdhar’s Brother) told me that BIG D i.e. Dawwod Ibrahim had circled you / covered you. Hence it’s my humble request that please lodge FIR immediately and take immediate action so that my family members and relatives could be saved and the real conspirators of Rajeev Gandhi murder case could brought to justice.

Hence once again we request you that please lodge FIR and investigate the entire issue and give me and my family justice.

Importance of HIGHS BOSON PARTICLE Research Project and the frequent Increase in Earth quakes and Tsunami’s in ASIA.

2013-12-20T09:59:00.000+05:30

1. The tunnel of Highs Boson Project is such that it touches layers of earth. If you are at near by center of crossings of these layers then entire earth is in your glimpse and you may thunder any part of world without going there. A most dangerous Natural Weapon having no proof to bring to justice.

2. The Layers of Earth.

3. Impact and use of Layers

4. You had done such experiments in Intermediate practicals. Now notice the random increase in Earthquakes and Tsunami’s in Asia region.

5. It’s another concrete example is the Tsunami in Bay of Bengal. Before it US has did some drilling work in “State of Malacca region” and within few years the Tsunami came flooding entire south India. Go through history we had never heard Tsunami word instead it was Cyclone, Flood, Chakravat etc. but not Tsunami. It is based on a CIA report downloaded from CIA website.

6. Why doubt on Europe Highs Boson Research Project: - No country and its country men could be such fool that they expend a major portion of their Budget on an experiment which have no multiple IMPACT and USABILITY. Because all major world’s inventions had been initiated for Defense use and when they had stabilized, then passed to civil society. Example Electricity was first researched as Torturing tool and by Accident it become a major source of power supply and lighting.

7. There is a book “”CLASHING OF CIVILIZATIONS” instead there should be books like: - “CLASHING OF RELIGIONS”, “CLASHING OF OCEANS”, “CLASHING OF RACES”, “CLASHING OF SECRET SOCIETIES”, “CLASHING OF SEVEN MAHADWIPS”, “CLASHINGS OF 99% VS 1%”

8. Now what these developed nations and their Rich leaders will say. We know that you are rich and you will shift to Moon or Mars. But dear Developed nations and Rich people 99% population of this world is not capable to shift to moon or mars and neither will you want to see them there. So your act is destroying this universe and you are confident about moon or mars but we 99% have no choice except to live in this universe.

9. If 99% population of this universe starts throwing you from this universe then what will you do? You had no moral right get being human cover because this is you who destroyed this universe.

10. Think about it beyond borders of religion, race, caste, area or any other division. If this earth is safe then you are safe neither no GOD, no power, no religion will be able to save you.

Why Rajiv Gandhi Murder Mystery is still waiting to be HANGED?

2013-12-20T09:49:00.003+05:30

To understand the entire conspiracy we should first understand what happen during that period.

System of Companies Secretaries
System of Cost Accountancy
System of C.A.
Concept of Maruti Suzuki for Industrialization
Amul Milk Supply & Production concept
Peaceful opening of Ayodhya Mandir and start of Worship
Modernization and Self dependence of Indian Defense Sector
Introduction to Computer

The overall impact of these work was a concrete hit on the “TRADITIONAL INSPECTOR RAJ SYATEM” where 50% on paper and 50% off paper. It suddenly going to hit the entire BLACK MONEY SYSTEM. i.e. BANIYO KI KALI KAMAI PER HATHODA CHALA THA . Sath me is KAMAI ke Hissedaro per bhi jisame “SAMVIDHN KE CHARO ANG” dube the.
Kul mila ke seedhe sabdon me DESH SWADESHI KI TARAF KADAM BADHA CHUKA THA”.
Hatya ki planning bahut pahle ki thi per usake liye Kai tatkalik vajahe banai gayi jisase shak MUL(Jad) ki taraf na jaye. Duniya unke jal me ghumati rahi. Ye sirf Rajiv Gandhi per nahi lagu hota hai. Pure INDIAN CONTINENT me hui badi hatyaon ka KALA SACH yahi hai.
Atal ji ke samay ka “FEEL GOOD” ek bar pahle bhi aya tha jab PURA DESH RAMAYAN AUR MAHABHARAT KE FEEL GOOD me tha aur DESH antarik rup se DHARM, JATI, RAJYA me batata raha. Tejab ka gana yad hai” SO GAYA YE JAHAN SO GAYA ASMA “
Rajev Gandhi ki Hatya honi hai ye bat Congress ke kai Netaon ko pata thi jo us samy satta se jude the.
Rajev Gandhi ki Hatya honi hai ye bat System ke kai logon ko pata thi.
Ye o samay tha jab RUSSIA ka tutana nishchit ho chukka tha aur uska saziskarta bhi. Durbhagya se tutane walo ki puri LIST saf ho chuki thi jisame agla number India, Phir China, Phir… BRICS me puri list hai.
In deshon ko todane ka phayada ye tha ki inki Satta pe INJECTED Logon ke dwara niyantran ho jata.
Rajiv Gandhi ki hatya ek Silsile ki kadi hai jisame Bangladesh ki hatya, L.B.Shastri ki hatya, Indira ki hatya, Benazir ki hatya adi thi.
In sabhi hatyaon ko samajhane ke liye inke IMPACT ki Analysis karma padega tab samajh me ayega ki KIYA KISI AUR NE AUR FAYADA UTHAYA KISI AUR NE.
Aap samajh sakte hai jis Desh me LOKPAL ko pass karne me 44 saal laga diye vahan itni teji se kai SANSTHAON ke banane per LUTERE baukhala gaye the.
Rajiv Gandhi ki hatya ke bad ek silsila chala tha jisame kai Officers ki hatya ki gayi thi, kuch ne sandehaspad sthitiyon me sucide kiya tha, kuch ke sath rape hua isliye unhone sucide kar liya tha.

Meaning of BRICS beyond eyes?

2013-12-20T09:47:00.004+05:30

Meaning of BRICS beyond eyes?

1. A group of Rich people trying to hold their power on world, world resources. For it they had planned small countries (states) in this world. Small states are easy to control by money, power, terrorism, Injection of people. Its best example is USSR and the roots of then USSR leaders who initiated division of USSR.

2. BRICS: - Divide (Banto) Russia, India, China and South Africa. Now you are capable to guess that these countries could not be such fool that they will plans to break themselves.

3. Its reply is in fact that US takes BRICS as against him.

4. I am confident about it because some of Indian Social Catalyst’s job is to initiate fire in India and wind it up to such extent that it leads to braking of nation. These Rascals were spread around India.

5. Its best example is the 3 states formed during 2000-01. The entire analysis proves doubts. In these 3 states the Mafia had hacked entire state machinery and created a parallel system of Control. Business man with Mafia, Politician, Bureaucracy created a cartel and entire system become paralyzed. Its best example in Uttarakhand where they had looted more than 50000 cores in name of NGO’s and most of them under direct/indirect control of this cartel.

6. Another reason for this theory is that having more than 50% resources why Asia and Africa are unstable, terrorism prone, undeveloped.

7. After USSR division had you noticed one thing that Europe had enlarged and Asia had Shrinked.

Why USA is with India ?

2013-12-11T20:07:00.000+05:30

As we know USA always plans for next 50 years. What weapons we are seeing today were architected before 30-40 years.
If you analyze today's scenario then it is clear that USA is treating Indian continent as next war field for coming WAR.( III World War). Now they are trying to assure their presence in this continent by every means.
There is little doubt in my mind that today and in the foreseeable future both Washington and New Delhi will be bound by common interests in a diverse set of issue-areas, including:
• Preventing Asia from being dominated by any single power that has the capacity to crowd out others and which may use aggressive assertion of national self interest to threaten American presence, American alliances, and American ties with the regional states;
• Eliminating the threats posed by state sponsors of terrorism who may seek to use violence against innocents to attain various political objectives, and more generally neutralizing the dangers posed by terrorism and religious extremism to free societies;
• Arresting the further spread of weapons of mass destruction and related technologies to other countries and sub-national entities, including sub-state actors operating independently or in collusion with states;
• Promoting the spread of democracy not only as an end in itself but also as a strategic means of preventing illiberal polities from exporting their internal struggles over power abroad;
• Advancing the diffusion of economic development with the intent of spreading peace through prosperity through the expansion of a liberal international economic order that increases trade in goods, services, and technology worldwide;
• Protecting the global commons, especially the sea lanes of communications, through which flow not only goods and services critical to the global economy but also undesirable commerce such as drug trading, human smuggling, and weapons of mass destruction technologies;
• Preserving energy security by enabling stable access to existing energy sources through efficient and transparent market mechanisms (both internationally and domestically), while collaborating to develop new sources of energy through innovative approaches that exploit science and technology; and
• Safeguarding the global environment by promoting the creation and use of innovative technology to achieve sustainable development, devising permanent, self-sustaining, market-based institutions and systems that improve environmental protection, developing coordinated strategies for managing climate change, and assisting in the event of natural disasters.

FARAS KI KHADI: NYAY Vs ANYAY

2012-02-23T12:10:00.002+05:30

ANOTHER IRAK: ANOTHER INJUSTICE

As "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah" is our policy thats why we honor every ones right on this Universe equal. But the so called developed nations and their pets define that they have first right on this Universe. UN a Special pet try to fulfill their will under its cover.

Being surrounded by enemies how one can do nothing. Iran has a lot of threats. Iran may be grouped with Pakistan but still much better than Pakistan.

Iran will never give its nuclear weapon to Sunni terrorists having majority in counting but same does not apply on Pakistan.

We should oppose any type of attack on Iran because they have same right to secure them. We must not permit another Irak just for will of a country instead of Oil Mafia.

We must oppose any type of pressure on any country to cut relation with Iran or Israel.

Solution: God/ Allah/ Bhagwan/ etc. has Gifted this opportunity to us to start a project on ground to eliminate all type of "MASS DESTRUCTION WEAPONS".

Attack on Iran is not a solution rather cut the reasons for Nuclear Weapons.

"SALUTE TO TRUE DEMOCRACY"

2011-08-28T00:33:00.000+05:30

Few months ago Mr. Obama had visited UK and declared that only US and UK are true democracy. Now Mr. Obama, come to India and learn what is the DEMOCRACY. In some respect I salute US and UK democracy system but We are not UNDEMOCRATIC.

If you see the Anna ji Movement then you will understand the power of BHARAT and the power of democracy. Its true that in our system there are many loop holes but same time see its power. Within 3 months Parliament is forced by GANDHIGIRI to listen voice of common man and they spent hours to pass a bill which was pending for last 40 years.

And the most Important thing is that in Principle this movement had restrengthened the joint of Indians, the bonding. In month of Ramadan Every one forget his state, religion, cast, social status and voiced that enough is enough. Now either stop or quite.

Second see the GENERATION BONDING. Our grand fathers, fathers, we and our sons- All four generations jointly voiced for nation. Really salute to all of us.

This is a reply and warning to all the countries who have desire to break India on the basis of state, religion, cast, social status etc. We Indian are calm, peace loving, ignore things but you should not dare to conclude that we will permit you to break India. "WE WERE ONE, WE ARE ONE AND WE MUST BE ONE DESPITE OF ALL THE DIFFERENCES."

The Revolution in India?

2011-08-27T01:02:00.002+05:30

The people are discussing that Issue of Anna is a Revolution. I think no. This seems like revolution but actually it is process of democracy which teaches our leaders that the gap between you and me is being widen and now it can affect our relationship.

Anna ji is just a voice for feelings of nation.

Actually our political parties are busy collecting donations from looters, our leaders are busy in looting, IAS/IPS became either part of that system or the were cornered. So public is not responsible for this crisis.

Today i had seend statement of Mr. Rahul Gandhi and shamed that he going to next PM. He can not dare to accept his own responsibility that he (All leaders) and his party (All Parties) has failed to know / get feelings of public or voters. Unfortunately they were caged and truth is being covered.

What the Chaukadi say they oked it. He talked about visits. If he has will then start anonymous visits without lav-laskar and read the truth. Making statement is not solution. For 11 days you are busy and them came and said "Lokpal like EC". Mr. Gandhi your constituency is against corruption and my question is that what you did in last 2 years. Same case apply to others parties.

Why everyone afraid?

See the impact of T.N. Sheshan sahab reforms. Mayawati ji should salute him because whatever she is today that is result of Sheshan's reforms. What happened - a new breed of leaders created and fortunately they are from root level though later on they became elite class.

Same thing was going to happen with Lokpal. It will change the status and power game. For example i will fill Passport form and send it by post. If it was complete then they will issue me passport within 15 days neither they will intimate me reason. No option for corruption. This is the main reason these corrupt people are opposing it.

Burning Kashmir

2010-10-04T17:38:00.000+05:30

For last few months we are watching video clips of Kashmir issue. It might be possible that their rallies are genuine but its timing and the attitude shows something else.

Currently in Kashmir few nations have interest?

Pakistan: Engaged in historic flood, corruption charges on top leader and army personal, facing enmity of BAD TALIBAN, Al-Qaida, rise in internal crises.
China: Engaged in protecting its supply line, fears about current Indian show off of Kashmir presence, increase in internal crises, afraid of being necked against world about its future plan.
USA: Trying to manage Taliban, LeT in favor to protect his own interest in area, Want to hold a strategic position in area to control Asia, Afraid of Afghan war leaks, Afraid of 1971 war leaks.
Russia: Calmly monitoring US and China, Trying to regain its previous status.
Afghanistan: More concern about training camps and about terrorist bases.

What Kashmir violence did for them?

Pakistan: People are busy (if safe and have electricity) watching Kashmir violence, People are made satisfied that they are taking Bangladesh revenge, Media forget flood and corruption, to divert and inspire terrorist towards Kashmir who are in Pakistan, using it to get more donation for terrorist organizations under cover of flood relief.
China: World media had been diverted from Chinese presence in Kashmir to Kashmir violence, these violence’s are at peak when world started showing interest in China and its defense expansion plans.
USA: world was discussing about wiki leaks document, Irak & India related documents, they had raised outsourcing issue to shadow other issues, have no objection if terrorist shift their focus from Afghanistan and concentrate on Kashmir.

Postmartum of Mumbai Attack

2010-09-02T14:16:00.001+05:30

For last few months our honorable HM is busy with US to manage the great Headley issue. I am surprised that why he do not want to understand a common thing that Mr. Headley is US own creation and the Mumbai attack was a covert plan of CIA to
1. Tighten security in Arab Sagar without any investment.
2. To implant Headley in LeT and Al-Qaida.
3. To assure that their supply from Arab Sagar was clear.
4. To create a secure base in Mumbai so that they are able to monitor movements in Indian Ocean and to manage China.
ISI is ok with this plan because it is going to provide a base to
1. Shift its army from Afghan border to Indian border.
2. To manipulate peoples opposition on Drone attacks.
3. To Shift media from A. Q. Khan issue to conflict between India and Pakistan.
Let helped in this plan to
1. Show its capabilities to India.
2. To create tension in this area.
3. To provide a cover to Al-Qaida members so that they are able to quit Afghanistan and spread in entire Pakistan.
4. To tighten their ties with Al-Qaida.
Dawood helped in this plan because
1. To eliminate those police officers who had damaged his network most.
2. To capture Mumbai in his grip again.
3. To terrorize the Mumbai and to boost his members.
4. To take revenge of Abu Salem episode because he think Abu is Indian implant.
What went wrong as per CIA expectation?
1. Al-Qaida use this scenario to cover its key operatives in Pakistan.
2. The movement of Pakistani Army provided a cover to Al-Qaida.
3. LeT had changed plan schedule which was not intimated to Headley because US was planned to catch them red-handed and prove their good intention in India.
4. ISI was not under total control of Pakistan government and Army; they utilized this scenario as per their own plan not as per US plan.
What India is doing?
I am surprised that we spent corers of rupees on this issue. Why Chidambaram Sahab was so keen to interrogate Headley though we know he is not going to pass any information to us which could frame ISI or CIA. What he did was completely inspired and directed by CIA. Chidambaram Sahab should understand one thing that no one is going to save India. The world is afraid of India’s growth and they are just trying to engage India in a Conflict.
US Intention and Obama recent Visit to Afghanistan:
US understood one thing that Afghanistan is going to another Vietnam. He is in hurry to quit from Afghanistan and shift his focus to Iran. Their mind is set to promote Pakistan and Good Taliban to hold Afghanistan as soon as possible. NATO is also not much interested to stay in Afghanistan. Karjai is not able to motivate Afghanis towards a constructive path.
Obama has a clear plan to transfer Afghanistan to Good Taliban who must be under direct control of US via Pakistan.
India's Position:
Nothing had changed after 26/11 and nothing is going to change except that today terrorist are coming from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma or Srilanka now add another country Afghanistan.
My grandfather always told one thing, money pulls money and power pulls power but unfortunately our system does not understand this. We think that US will save us from China or Pakistan that’s why we are busy to welcoming them. But US is just concern to own business. 1971 is the best example.

Chief Ministers Security Summit

2009-08-17T14:24:00.002+05:30

Today our honorable chief ministers will discuss the security issues of their respective states and our honorable PM will guide them towards central policy.

For last few months I am experiencing that in todays scenario we can not bifurcate the internal and external security issues. Both are mixed and must be handled with due care.

States have following major issues:

1. State level Internal threat : Can be managed by improving policing and taking decisions without political interference.

2. Inter-state threat : Can be managed by enhanced interstate communication and a new police force having power to work beyond state boundaries.

3. Threat from neighbor countries: Can be managed by fast, effective communication with center and a timely response from concern agency.

4. Threat from ISI and Dawood: A Nation level agency must be setup to manage this issue. Actually this is the area which is affecting entire India and every aspect: - Finance, Drug, Crime, Trafficking, Smuggling etc.

Hope our honorable PM and HM will understand the issues and manage it on top priority.

Issue of Fake Currency

2009-08-05T23:47:00.002+05:30

For last few months we are more concern with this issue but if you remember in year 2006 there was inputs from RAW and IB that some one in Pakistan importing same ink and same paper by same source. But that time no one acted and the result we are experiencing.

Actually the main problem is the lack of inter departmental communication. IB and RAW just collect information and pass to their senior authorities without making sure that action was taken or not.

It is a great unfortunate fact that being nuclear power we are not capable to produce unique ink and paper and still depend on outsiders who are just businessman.

I am sure approximate 10-20 % notes in market are fake and most of them from Pakistan.

What we should do:

1. Try to prepare our own ink and paper and implement more security mechanism.

2. Force supplier to not supplying same ink or paper to any other party or country.

3. Setup a group which will not only destroy D company but also to kill D gang because this group is mother of all evils.

4. Enforce strict laws.

Security of Resources is Most Important

2009-07-29T14:24:00.002+05:30

Our ancestors told a story that a King has very advanced weapon which can destroy entire troops. But during enemy attack he failed to protect its weapon and hence he was easily defeated.

Advanced weapon system does not guarantee that nation is safe until you are capable to protect your resource from all type of threat - Internal as well as External.

External threat are generally visible and can be managed but the most dangerous threat is internal. For example I have an advanced gun which was operated and maintained by a team. Now if any outsider will try to destroy it then I can manage but what if any member of our team manipulate it such that at the time of use it is useless or it destroy itself.

What India Should Do ?

1. Divide entire border in small chunks (Level 0) and appoint troops having total Power and Total responsibility.

2. Each chunk will communicate with its all neighbors and report to only one authority (Level 1) and so on.

3. For any lack in responsibility the corresponding unit must be charged but due consideration must be given to their working conditions and environment.

What Developed Nations Do :

During analysis of last 10 years we see that the best strategy is to disable enemy's key weapon system rather attacking them. Example is Irak, Afghanistan, Chechnya or Yugoslavia.

If you know your enemy then no one can defeat you.

US AID TO PAKISTAN: INDIA’S SECURITY CONCERN

2009-07-27T15:02:00.000+05:30

U.S. first time established its diplomatic relations with Pakistan in 1949 during ‘Eisenhower’ administration. America agreed to provide economic and military assistance to Pakistan and latter’s partnership in ‘Baghdad Pact’ during this regime. At that time, Pakistan was so close to America that it was called ‘US’s most allied ally’ in Asia. US began to supply arms to Pakistan in 1954 and continued till 1965.Also, the threat of N. Khrushchev, the Soviet leader in 1960 to annihilate the nuclear arms of Pakistan affected the US-Pak relations. Gradually, US again restored arms sales to Pakistan in 1975 but then cut-off economic assistance under US “Foreign Assistance Act” due to Pakistan’s nuclear programme. The Soviet’s invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 proved to be another milestone in heavy US aid to Pakistan being the common interest of Pakistan and US in South Asia. In 1981, US agreed for 3.2 billion dollar military and economic assistance to Pakistan’s armory for conducting the worst operation which eventually defeated the Soviet’s in 1988. US congress again added 4 million dollar for economic development and security assistance package to Pakistan in1986, but in 1990, the US suspended military assistance/economic aid to Pakistan under ‘Pressler’ amendment’ which required the President of US to certify that Pakistan doesn’t possess nuclear explosive device. Again in 1998, the renewed US interest into Pakistan during Clinton administration was strengthened in view of India’s decision to conduct nuclear test in May 1998. Pakistan’s matching response to nuclear tests conducted by India, although called for another sanction by US but, later the intensive dialogue between Deputy Secretary Talbott (US) and Foreign Secretary Shamshad Ahmed (Pakistan) waved off sanction to an extent but in October 1999, Pakistan was kept under another sanction by US under section 508 of ‘Foreign Appropriation Act’. However the turning point in this scenario was 9/11 due to which Pakistan moved decisively to ally itself with the US in its war against Osama-bin-laden and Al-Qaeda. In bargain to provide the US many military airports and bases for its attack on Afghanistan and arrests of over 500 Al-Qaeda operatives, Pakistan had been lavishly getting appreciation from US. Although the economic and military assistance has been flowing from US to Pakistan, the huge amount of such aid has been misappropriated by Pakistan aimed to fight against India. Pakistan received 9 million American dollar after 9/11 incident, 4.2 billion dollar in 2003 to purchase advanced American military technology and further in May 2006, Bush announced major sale of missiles to Pakistan costing 370 million US dollars. The recent Taliban’s upsurge in Pakistan particularly in SWAT, FATA, Waziristan and in close vicinity of Rawalpindi, Lahore and Islamabad has caused some concern to US authority but after visit of Asif Ali Zardari to America, this issue has been cooling recently.US Ambassador to Pakistan has again reacted about US commitment to assist Pakistan government in the areas of development, stability and security and has also announced 8.4 million dollar aid to address Pakistan’s food crisis. However, the Pentagon has confirmed one of South Asia’s worst kept secrets that, Pakistan has used billions of dollars of US aid to buy a mind-boggling array of conventional American Weaponry to use against India which was meant for Pakistan to fight the war on terror. India has repeatedly pointed out that much of military hardware of Pakistan’s shopping list was not suited to anti-terror operations by Pakistan. Pentagon has also revealed that even the pouring aid to Pakistan by Bush after 9/11 to fight Al-Qaeda was used to develop offensive capabilities against India. This was on its peak between 2002-2009. Even acquisition of anti-tank missiles to F16’s by Pakistan was meant to blunt India’s edge in conventional weaponry. Such gestures by US authorities in favor of Pakistan has become a cause of great concern to India particularly in view of Pakistan’s fragile democracy, upsurge of Al-Qaeda, Pakistan’s nuclear capability and bad experience between both the countries during past 60 years. US may have got its compulsion to appease Pakistan due to its war against Al-Qaeda but it should also be equally concern about balance of power in South Asia particularly arms race between two nuclear power nations.

Why India is Playing in Hands of Developed nations ?

2009-07-22T15:34:00.002+05:30

For last few months we realize that India is caught in nexus of developed nations and some one is trying to engage India and China in a cold war. I think China may be a threat to India but not in such a manner that one should get ready for a war. Both countries have power to destroy each other and both know it.

Actually CIA and USA are caught in a situation where they wants to divert world attention towards new issue. They are facing trouble in managing Irak, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan issues. They have no reason to justify their act thats why they are trying to open new fronts.

In recent clashes with China, USA was clearly beaten thats why they a looking a shoulder to put their gun and control fire.

The coming 3-5 years are going to be very very critical for India and the best option is to keep moving ahead without a conflicts with any one.

IAF moving Sukhoi base to northeast

2009-07-08T12:30:00.002+05:30

Four multi-role strike fighter jets would land June 15 at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Tezpur, about 185 km north of Assam's main city of Guwahati.

The India-China border along Arunachal Pradesh is marked by the McMahon Line, an imaginary border which is now known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

India and China fought a bitter border war in 1962, with Chinese troops advancing deep into Arunachal Pradesh and inflicting heavy casualties on Indian troops.

The border dispute with China was inherited by India from British colonial rulers, who hosted a 1914 conference with the Tibetan and Chinese governments that set the border in what is now Arunachal Pradesh.

Same time we witnessed a plane crash in Northeast which was not much noticed but these both incidents are interrelated with each other. For last one year we had seen several incidents when the signal between ATC and Plane were blocked and we still think it is a technical issue rather there is any thing else.

In northeast china and ISI had built a strong base and it must be tackled separately because ISI wants to take revenge of Bangladesh. Their plan is to Cut the Siliguri line with help of Bangladeshi terrorists and meanwhile china will manage its positions in northeast.

China has never recognized the 1914 boundary, known as the McMahon Line, and claims 90,000 sq km (34,750 square miles) -- nearly all -- of Arunachal Pradesh. India also accuses China of occupying 8,000 sq km (14,670 square miles) in Kashmir.

Hope Indian government will act on it.

India Should be ready to face new US Policy ?

2009-06-30T13:51:00.002+05:30

As I mentioned in my previous articles India should not expect any change in US policy. CIA and US have only one agenda just keep their control on Pakistan to stay in this area. Neither they are serious to eliminate Alquida nor Terrorism.

Although they are confirming that terrorist have no Nuclear weapon but Inputs from ISI assures that Osama had already managed such technology and they are capable to use it. Alquida is running a top secret lab and preparing weapons which are more harmful and easy to carry and deploy.

Now they are concentrating on systems which can be used as weapon like Dams, Water supply, Electricity supply etc. For example conducting a direct attack on US is not so easy but it is possible to conduct an artificial Earthquake which can generate a Psunami and this PSunami can destroy more area.

Today Alquida is on low profile and all their core members are spread in all over world to save themelves because if they are alive then they can do every thing.

India must be cautious about it. PoK (Pak Occupied Kashmir) is being used as shelter for terrorists. They are regenerating their strength in this area and the easiest target is India.

Terrorist Activities in Bangladesh and Global Terrorism

2009-04-19T12:10:00.001+05:30

Introduction

The security environment of Bangladesh is and was always peaceful in comparison to many other countries of this region. In respect to terrorist activities the country was in very low profile threat. If we consider the population density and diversity of the population the incidents are very normal and negligible. Last few years terrorist activities in this country got new dimension. Initially those were in very primitive type and gradually things are becoming complex, difficult to encounter/control/neutralize. Incident of 17 august 2005 was a massive shock in our peaceful existence and it reminded us that we need to do something to stop and finally come out of this evil cycle. Though the number of incident was more but the magnitude and the casualty was not that much. We may still call this as the beginning of the coordinated terrorist activities and with our utmost sincerity and devotion the country still can come out of this unwanted and unpleasant situation.

In last six years we are observing bomb incidents in the country and the trend was going up. It was curved down by the appropriate authority and the sincerity of the law enforcing agencies of the country by adopting adequate counter measures. In the beginning there were many unexploded bombs placed in different places. Explosives were there but the bombs were not functional. Some bomb threats were also there but the casualty related to this types of incidents were not significant. Ten persons were killed in the bomb incident that took place in 6 march 1999. We may take that as the beginning of successful terrorist attempt to destabilize existing peace and tranquility.

Unlike other countries of the world the terrorist activities like this type of bomb incidents will have devastating effect in our country. Our country is over crowded and densely populated. If some incident of this type takes place number of casualty will be more and destruction of

properties will be also more as everything is constructed in a smaller area. Then there comes the secondary hazard. All these will actually act as problem multiplier because we don’t have sufficient equipment and trained manpower to combat these type of situation.

This article will primarily focus on bomb related terrorist activities highlighting the major incidents occurred during the period from 1980 to 2000’s in global perspective. There after recent trend of growing terrorism in Bangladesh specially bomb related incidents will be covered to reveal few measures for combating such incidents effectively.

Brief History of Terrorism

The words ’terrorism’ and ‘terror’ were adopted from a French word ‘terreur’ which originates from the Latin word ‘terrere’ which means to frighten. During French revolution these were widely used for the first time to indicate the reign of terror. Terrorism in present context is a specialized and sometimes sophisticated and large scale criminal conduct. It is mainly done to generate casualty of innocent and defenseless civilian, destruction of properties, infrastructure and cultural sites.

In the past terrorism was there in many form. Between the end of second world war and the 20th century total 120 armed conflicts occurred. In 20th century a person was killed in every 21 second for 100 years from terrorist related activities. By the end of the 20th century, the world had witnessed several new and horrifying forms of terrorism, some even by the State, such as genocides, collectivization, purges, crimes against humanity and mass casualty incidents.
Today, the terrorist is largely perceived as an unknown, obscure and shadowy murderer, sometimes a religious fanatic, who sets off bombs causing loss of life and great destruction in civilian population centers. It is very sad that Islam is being exploited to legitimize terrorist
actions by different organizations, religious and spiritual leaders. They try to legalize these in the name of jihad. The origin of all these types of terrorism is mainly unstable middle east region. Terrorist may belong to any religion though all the religion is against it. Currently Muslim fundamentalism has got wide publicity in the western media.

Terrorism is carried out in many names besides religion including politics, freedom, environment, racial supremacy, animal rights etc. Terrorism and its motives are sometimes concealed and it is necessary to appreciate that the motive for a given terrorist act, whether declared by the terrorists, government or by media, may not always reflect the truth.
There is no geographical boundaries for terrorism. Almost in all the region of the world with different magnitude terrorist activities are taking place. For combating terrorism existing police force alone can no longer combat the magnitude of terrorism. Elements of armed forces, special forces, national intelligence and security organizations are employed against terrorism. Government of many countries have signed and confirmed agreements, to suppress and combat terrorism as its magnitude is increasing gradually.

After 11th September 2001 incident, many countries have intensified their anti-terrorism efforts. Legislation is a useful mechanism for legalizing special preventative measures taken by the security forces. Anti-terrorism efforts have practically doubled in many countries. In United Nations many new Resolutions against terrorism were passed. Terrorism Prevention Branch (TPB) is effectively implementing the efforts of UN against terrorism.

During cold war era the face of terrorism was different. Those were mainly supported and manipulated by WARSAW pact countries in the form of guerrilla warfare. Then the middle east problem came up and still it is continuing between Israel and other Arab nations. As a result whole middle east is in a state of unrest and the other parts of the world is getting the heat of
that. After the end of cold war new types of ruthless terrorism emerged which is characterized by religious, political, ethnic and social intolerance. General people normally come to know about the terrorist act through media after the incident.

In today’s world some Islamic terrorist group or coalition are considered as most dangerous. These groups distort Islam to justify their actions. Their objective is to change the existing world order and establishment of Islamic state in the world by terrorizing the world.

Essential Elements of Terrorism

There are some common and essential elements in all cases of terrorism. Those are:
a. Cause or motive.
b. Ends and means.
c. Ability.
d. Calculation.
e. Terror.
f. Victim(s).
g. Target(s).
4
Some other elements may also be there like:
a. Publicity.
b. Demand(s).
c. Coercion.
d. Recognition.
In broader term most terrorism have four interlinked factors. Those may be called as four pillars of terrorism. Those are :
a. Motivation.
b. Objective.
c. Target.
d. Destruction of asset and properties.

Motivation can be considered as a sleeping partner. The objective of terrorists is the most important factor to them. Objective comes first and motivation acts as driving force to attain that. The other two pillars are, asset harm and target are the outcome of that object. Mainly for attaining any object terrorist need to select targets and the asset harm or destruction of property is the outcome of the terrorist incident.

Terrorist Weapons, Resources, and Equipment

Terrorists use a wide range of military weapons and equipments. They collect those by illegal purchase, smuggle or by other unorthodox ways. The most common military weapons that terrorists frequently use are pistols, revolvers, rifles and submachine guns. Terrorists also use light machine guns, time-bombs, mortars, mines, rocket propelled grenades and hand-grenades.
Most of the terrorists bombs are improvised. They are termed as Improvised Explosive Devices or IEDs. It consists of a power source, initiator, switches, explosive charge and a suitable container. Vehicles can be converted easily to an IED. IEDs vary in quality and effect according to the technology used and the explosive content. The mechanism can be made complicated and sophisticated integrated circuitry can be incorporated in the IEDs.

The devastating effect comes from the explosion/ detonation of explosive charges used in it. Besides using conventional explosives most terrorist use locally available chemicals or commercial explosives. These are called Home Made Explosives(HME). Depending on mixing ratio they give incendiary or explosion effect.

Assembling IEDs is dangerous. Accidents may occur while assembling the IED and the assembler may even be blown up and killed. Detonating IEDs is not as hazardous as constructing. IEDs may accidentally explode while being transported by terrorists.

Suicide bombers are just another weapon in the armory of terrorists . There is little protection from suicide terrorists equipped with bombs. This type of terrorist is very dangerous and is able to strike where terrorists who seek escape would not normally venture. They are usually extremists motivated by fanatic interpretations of religion or ideology, those on the edge of despair, or a combination of both. The aircrafts used on 11 September 2001, were used as weapons by suicide terrorists.

The Media and Terrorism

Media can play vital role against terrorist activities. Media gives terrorists their desired publicity. This publicity sometimes install widespread fear among the common mass. This sometimes favors the terrorists who wish to instill fear. Some media sources strongly condemn terrorism for what it is. Some media sources intentionally minimize the publicity afforded to
terrorist groups and highlight successes and failures of security forces. We can say that media can play duel role.

Media is having enough flexibility to report terrorism in a responsible fashion, especially when they know that most terrorists seek publicity to attain their object. Role of media in September 2001 incident was well appreciated and appropriate and helped security forces of the world to take necessary action against that heinous acts.

Bomb Related Incidents and Deaths in Last Two Decades

In 1980’s we saw that the incidents took place mainly in Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan ,USA, Vietnam and Palestine. During this period political unrest prevailed in these countries. In some countries transition of political power were going on. We just cannot draw a conclusion that middle east or Palestine was the only problem prone area.

Terrorist incidents were less in 1990’s than that of 1980’s. Because , during this period states took effective measures to counter terrorism. The effectiveness of anti terrorist force were improved. They were well trained and equipped by the government. Terrorism gets the exposure to explosives, small and medium arms more easily after the end of cold war. They are using those explosives to terrorize the world.

Most of these incidents took place in Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and other places. In 2002 explosion took place in Israel, Kenya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Chechnya AND Tunisia etc. Many incident took place in European countries like Spain, Italy and UK(Northern Ireland); South American countries like Argentina, Columbia and Peru etc. From January 2006 till June 2006 total of 6000 personal died in different terrorist incident in Iraq. (BBC, This Week, 11 June 2006) It clearly says that the unrest is not confined in a region rather whole world is in a state of unrest.

Bangladesh Incidents

Since independence the first bomb explosion took place in a public meeting in 1981. In that incident one person was killed. That was the beginning of terrorist attack using the bomb culture in Bangladesh. Though there was no significant upraise of the trend immediately after the incident. However, suddenly in 1999-2000 a total of six bomb explosions took place in various parts of the country. During the year 2001 the situation aggravated to a great extent. Only in two incidents 32 people were killed in 2001.

On 07 Mar 1999’s explosion 8 people were killed and 150 injured. In same month in another powerful explosion two persons were killed on the spot and more three were injured. On 08 October 1999, another powerful bomb explosion took place at Kadiani Mosque in Khulna where 06 person’s were died on the spot and 40 were critically injured.

On 20th Jan 2001 in two separate bomb incidents total six persons died on spot and several others were injured. Ramna Botomul incident on 14 April 2001 snuffed out nine lives and injured many. Seven individual died on spot and almost 30 others were injured on 3 June 2001 in Catholic Church at Baniarchar in Gopalgonj district. 22 persons were killed and nearly 100 injured in a massive bomb explosion at a political party office in Narayanganj.

Total 438 Improvised Explosives Device (IED)/Bombs were exploded at different places of 4 Metropolitan Cities and 63 district headquarters of Bangladesh on 17 August 2005. In those incidents; 02 people died and approximately 150 were injured. The bombs/IED's were locally prepared with a timer circuit but with less lethality. The power source of the bombs were four pencil AA batteries. The circuit was timed, controlled by a switch and the detonator was electric. A small amount of Gunpowder (GP) and Aluminum based Home Made Explosive (HME) was used for sound & igneferous effect.

From 1999 to 2005 there were approximately 492 bomb, grenade and cocktail incident where 271 people died and more than one thousand were injured. The above mentioned incidents clearly reflects a sharp and alarming rise of bomb related terrorist activities in Bangladesh which can no more be ignored. To combat all these terrorist activities we need to know regarding terrorism and terrorist activities, chronological development, their logistical backup, method and the weapon they use to attain their objectives.

In Bangladesh in most of the cases the terrorist exploited Islam to justify their misdeeds. But actually Islam means peace and it really mean so. That’s why the terrorists are not getting popular support. The reasons for rise of terrorism in Bangladesh may be summarized as following :

a. Poor financial backup.
b. Ever-continuing economic crises.
c. Extreme poverty.
d. Illiteracy.
e. Unemployment.
f. Uncertainty regarding future.
g. Exploitation of simple religious believe.

Threat assessment

Present time is always best time. Without delay we must prepare ourselves to counter the terrorist acts that are growing in our country. If we can suppress and eradicate these types of act in the beginning then we will be able to revert the fate of country and can tell that we are still peaceful and our people will be living in peace and harmony.

Assessing the threat profile and continuously monitoring and updating is the first step. Next step is to prepare the security and intelligence organization. It can be done by creating special cells and train personnel on different aspect of terrorist acts including tracking, preventing , forensic activities and data management. Then, Identify and motivate the potential/ vulnerable
groups and prevent them from joining in terrorist groups/activities. Finally, existing laws if required to be updated for quick disposal of the cases. Exemplary punishment may be awarded so that people are aware and terrorists are cautious.

A threat assessment is necessary to evaluate the potential loss in these situations. This will help to examine what action can be taken to prevent or minimize those loss. Whether such action is an affordable option in financial and political terms to be also evaluated. Prime requirement is to precisely identify the threat. A typical threat assessment might include the following:
a. Detailed profile of potential or actual threat, hostile forces and likely outcome.
b. Character, disposition and vulnerability of all human resources.
c. Nature and disposition of fixed structures and moveable assets.
d. Preliminary assessment of potential loss.

The conclusion of a threat assessment often concludes with a change of level in a security alertness plan. It may be higher, lower or be maintained at the same level. There are several different levels or phases in such plans or systems.

Joint Efforts to Counter Terrorist Acts.

Terrorist activities (Bomb/IED situation) can not be tackled in piecemeal by a single agency. It necessitates a well coordinated effort of all fractions of the society. Under the prevailing IED situation in our country and appreciating the future trends following joint efforts are recommended :

a. A well coordinated interaction between the law enforcing agencies (intelligence and police) and the military experts need to be established and maintained throughout.
b. Security Forces need to be trained both at home and abroad. They must be proactive. Modern equipments should be used to combat the increasing threat. Use of resources may include:
(1) Overall budget and financial expenditure.
(2) Human resources e.g. Close protection officers.
(3) Equipment resources e.g. bomb detection devices, vehicles.
(4) More powerful and task-orientated weaponry.
c. The intelligence network to be made effective in maintaining information related to availability of explosive for a bomb threat. Increased security intelligence can be gathered from:
(1) Human Intelligence e.g. Open Source collection and Covert Operations.
(2) Satellite Intelligence e.g. Imaging Intelligence.
(3) Signals Intelligence e.g. Electronic Intercept.
(4) Information Warfare e.g. Propaganda / disinformation and IT attack.
d. Trans frontier intelligence activities must be geared up so that it enables concern people to become pro-active to blast incident.
e. Restriction need to be imposed on selling and buying of readily available ingredients of home made explosive i.e. gasoline, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate etc.
f. Awareness of general people needs to be increased through various electronic media and news paper.
g. Media to be used to project the heinous act and motivate people not to support terrorism. To minimize panic, motivational broadcasting in radio and TV, telecasting of documentary films, social campaign like posters, placards, holding seminars etc can be arranged.
h. Fastest investigation, quick trial and exemplary punishment of the miscreants to be ensured.
j. Intellectuals have great role in countering the bomb culture. This society must put their magic to build an intimated social bond all over the nation.

Conclusion

The terrorist groups normally do not get any support from the society. For preparation of the Bomb/IED they try to exploit the technology and collect the raw materials from the readily available chemical substances. The trend of bombs and the attacks in the developed countries and least developed countries may vary in technology, dimension and in different places but all such attacks are obviously against the humanity. The result is surely loss of life, serious injury, damage of property and an unsafe environment.

IED or Bomb incidents throughout the world have become a great concern to the peace lovers. It is for sure that the attackers resort to such heinous act to achieve their unjust demands. At times they launch suicidal attack being highly motivated by their group. In this new millennium the frequency and dimension of the bomb/IED attacks has attained its peak. Thereby the environment of peace and tranquility is under tremendous risk.

The synchronized bomb blast at 63 District Headquarters of Bangladesh is a rare incident. Possibly the IED's were intentionally made less harmful because even with the use of good amount of Home Made Explosives it could have been very dangerous. May be to avoid check and detection by Security Forces the size of the IED's was not increased. It's a clear alarm for every one that the terrorist can attack at any place at their desired time with their desired devastation as the expertise they have shown in preparation of these IED's.

In 2006 after massive effort by the security forces specially RAB, bomb incident was controlled to a satisfactory level and the people are a bit relaxed. Our beloved Bangladesh was in low profile bomb threat, but last few bomb incidents shook our peace and tranquil environment. But our peace loving people are always against this type of destructive activities. It is not too late for the Bangladesh to stand against these terrorist threats. The priority and urgency to fight against terror has gained the apex of general conscientious. So, we may say that present time is the best time to think, plan and execute the perfect countermeasures to stop and eliminate all types of terrorist activities from our country. Even if we achieve to control such activities; it will help us in the long run to bring normalcy in our civic life.

Why US is Ignoring Dawood ?

2009-04-16T22:52:00.002+05:30

US is talking about Osama or Baitulla or Mulla Omar but ignoring Dawood Ibrahim. Its strange because he is the person facilitating entire supply of terrorist.

Actually Taliban is just producing drugs but the key player is D Company. You can destroy Drug producers but D company will arrange another place to produce. The entire Kashmir and surrounding area is very convenient to produce drugs. People are poor so they are ready to produce drugs.

Dawood network is involved not only in drugs but also in human trafficking, Hawala, Arms supply etc. and all of them are being used by terrorists to execute their activities.

Until the Dawood and ISI are destroyed US will not succeed to eliminate Alquida and Taliban. Alquida is not cornered rather it is gaining strength and I suppose developing new bases far away from Afghanistan. Its sure that Osama is neither in Afghanistan nor in Pakistan because Afghanistan is not safe and he does not believe on Pakistan.

By some Unconfirmed sources we have Information that Top Alquida Leaders shifted themselves from Afghanistan and restricted their activities. Even they are not using phones.

Alquida is planning Divide and Conquer Policy. They want to create several fronts such that US can not concentrate. Although CIA knows it but can not accept. As per CIA history it could be assumed that some how they want Alquida alive because it provides a ground to stay in this area.

Profile: Mullah Umar

2009-04-15T11:46:00.002+05:30

FAMILY BACKGROUND AND BIRTH

Ameer-ul-MumineenMulla Muhammad Umar Mujahid belongs to a respected family of religious
scholars. His family is renown for the religious services offered by it for centuries. His full name is Muhammad Umar Mujahid bin Maulwi Ghulam Nabi Akhwand bin Mulla Muhammad Rasool
Akhwand bin Mulla Muhammad Ayaz Akhwand. He belongs to a well-known branch of the Hootak tribe, which has been living in Kandahar for about a hundred years.Mulla Muhammad Omar was born in 1960 in the 'Noori' village in Kandahar Province. Kandahar used to be the capital of the Indo-Subcontinent when it was justly ruled by the great Afghan Mujahid conqueror, Ahmad Shah Abdali. Mulla Umar's father, Maulwai Ghulam Nabi, was a religious scholar and the Imam at a mosque in Noori. His predecessors lived in the province ofZabul, in the districts of Shakay and Beirut, where, even today, a water stream is remembered by the name of one ofMulla Umar's respected elders.Mulla Umar's family has produced religious scholars in every generation, who have rendered countless services to Islam for centuries. His family is well known to have a great fervour for Islam. Almost all of his predecessors have been religious scholars, rendering religious services in the southern provinces ofKandahar, Zabul and Uruzgan. The people of Afghanistan have consulted his elders for centuries, seeking guidance on religious, economical and social issues.

ORPHAN AT THE AGE OF THREE

Mulla Omar was just three when his father, Maulwi Ghulam Nabee Akhwand, passed away at the age of forty. He was the only child of his parents. His younger brother and three elder sisters had passed away at a young age. Therefore, after his father's demise, he was not only an orphan but also the only child of his mother. Who could have thought at that time that this poor boy would go on to become the Ameer-ul-Mumineen of Afghanistan and a symbol of bravery, valour, patience, humbleness and Jihad in the Way of Allah (SWT)? After his father's death, his eldest paternal uncle, Maulwi Muhammad Anwar, married his mother and remains the head of the family. Allah (SWT) gave the family three sons and four daughters, who are still alive and waging Jihad in the Way of Allah (SWT). One of his brothers was martyred in 1998 when a massive bomb went off outside his office in Kandahar.

It was an assassination attempt on his life planned by both the CIA and the Northern Alliance
Commander, Ahmad Shah Masood, who by the will of Allah (SWT), was assassinated on 9
September 2001. Other paternal uncles of Mulla Umar are Haji Mulla Muhammad Hanafiyyah
Akhwand, Haji Mulla Muhammad Jumma Akhwand and Haji Mulla Muhammad Wali Akhwand. All of his uncles are known to have great fear of Allah (SWT) but Mulla Wali Muhammad Akhwand stands out for his excessive prayers and remembrance of Allah (SWT). All his family members live under the same roof with love and unity. The young men in the family are all participating in Jihad and are sacrificing their life and wealth to rid the world of Disbelief and Evil.

ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Mulla Umar received primary education from his benign guardian, loving stepfather and generous uncle, Maulwi Muhammad Anwar, who was a religious scholar and Imam at a mosque in the Beirut district of the Uruzgan province where he taught a mass of religious students. Other than his under his uncle, he studied the Quran, Hadith and Fiqh from many accomplished scholars whose names are not available. For a period he also remained a student of his other uncle,Mulla Muhammad Jumma Akhwand.

FAMILY HOUSE, LAND AND ESTATE

Mulla Muhammad Umar's family, a family of tribal scholars, never went after the attractions of this world. Instead they chose to devout their lives for the propagation of Islam and the imparting of religious knowledge. Their lives are a living symbol of patience and gratefulness towards Allah (SWT). Upholding the name of Islam and following its laws staunchly were goals superior to all worldly gains. Wealth and material possessions were never able to weaken their resolve. It was due to this disregard for the luxuries and life of this world that neither Mulla Umar nor any of his uncles own any houses, land or estates.

MARCHING TOWARDS THE BATTLEFIELDS AT EIGHTEEN

It was 1978CE (1398 AH) andMulla Umar was studying the highest-level book of the Hanafi school, the 'Hidayah', when Afghanistan was stormed by Communist aggressors, followed by the Soviet Red Army in December 1979. Thousands of young Muslims with the fear of Allah (SWT) and honour, decided to quell the Red insurgence. Among these soldiers of Allah (SWT) was an energetic young man of no more than eighteen years of age:Mulla Muhammad Omar. Filled with religious fervor and love for Islam, he took up weapons and headed for the battlefield. At the height of his youth, he stepped forward against the disbelievers and terrorised their ranks. He had resolved to revive the forgotten duty of Jihad that Allah (SWT) and his Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) adored so much and whose real meaning was bygone for the Muslim Ummah. He actively participated in the Jihad from the very beginning and it was then that the foundations of the Taliban Islamic Movement and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan were laid, which were to serve as the source of light, hope and life for the dejected Muslim Ummah drowned in the darkness of apathy. It was, in effect, the beginning of the Islamic renaissance.

INJURIES SUSTAINED IN URUZGAN DURING JIHAD

At the onset of the Jihad against the Communists and the Russians, he was fighting the enemies of Allah (SWT) in the Beirut district of Uruzgan Province. It was whilst he was wrecking the ranks of the disbelieving invaders that he sustained serious injuries on two occasions. The first time was when his leg was badly inured by rocket shrapnel and the second time was when he came under intense machinegun fire, which left his body riddled with bullets. He received medical treatment for the extreme wounds inflicted on his body, which, though they wounded his body, never scratched his incessant will to wage Jihad against the forces of Satan. Soon, by the grace of Allah (SWT), he regained his health and was back in the battlefield to devastate the enemies of Allah ( SWT).

His valour and gallantry filled the enemies with terror and his ceaseless attacks on the Communists raised alarm. His experienced and perceptive uncle anticipated the designs and conspiracies of the Communists and advised him to move the centre of his guerrilla operations to the South-Western district of Panjwai. Another reason for selecting this area was that the Kandahar-Herat highway passed through this district, which was a crucial supply line for the Communists. This busy road was an excellent target for guerrilla activities, so Mulla Umar moved his unit of Mujahideen to Panjwai.

His excellence as a leader, competence as a tactician and unmatched fearlessness made him emerge as an exemplary guerrilla commander. His fellow Mujahideen admired him for his humble ways, good manners and virtuosity, whereas the oppressed Afghans adored him for being an honest and generous man. On the other hand, his presence was a nightmare for the Communists and the Russians. He paid occasional visits to his parents in Uruzgan during this period of Jihad.

GETTING INJURED FOR THE THIRD TIME
It was during the period when he was fighting the Russians in the area of Sangsar, that he was badly injured for the third time, in an intense encounter with the Soviets. This time he sacrificed his right eye in the Way of Allah (SWT). His companions said that he was taken to a hospital in Quetta, Pakistan, due to the severity of his injury. After surgery, he was advised by the doctors to make Tayammum (ablution without water) instead of making Wudu (ablution with water) since water could have aggravated his wounds. Against the doctors' advice, he always used water for ablution and never prayed without properWudu. He used to say: "It is not possible for me to stop makingWudu for such minor wounds."

ON THE SIXTEENTH RPG, IT WENT UP IN FLAMES

Mulla Umar's companions during the Jihad against the Soviets and Communists included the
Talibans' first and foremost Commander-in-Chief, Shaheed Mulla Muhammad (RA), Shaheed Mulla Naik Muhammad (RA), Shaheed Mulla Borjan (RA) and famous commanders,Mulla Bradar, Mulla Yaranah, Mulla Ubaidullah and Mulla Akhwandzadah. At that time he was associated with Maulwi Nabi Muhammad's group, Harakat-ul-Inqelab-al-Islami. He was the group's local commander and a sure shot with the RPG-7 (antitank weapon). Refreshing his memoirs of those days, one of his old time friends described an encounter with Russian armour. It was in the district of Panjwai where the Mujahideen under Mulla Umar's command were fighting the Russians. One of the Russian tanks was expertly hidden in the terrain and had inflicted substantial damage on the Mujahideen. This tank had martyred many of theMujahideen therefore imposing on them considerable pressure. The tank was placed in its position with such skill thereby making it lethal for the Mujahideen to target. In order to tackle this hurdle and to ensure the safety of his fellow Mujahideen, Mulla Umar took the challenge.

Armed with a RPG launcher and a supply of rockets, he moved to a position from where he could
attack the menacing armour. He fired a sequence of rockets on the tank and at last, on the sixteenth RPG, by the will of Allah (SWT) it went up in flames.

INTERACTION WITH THE WORLD DURING JIHAD

During the Jihad neither Mulla Umar nor any of his family members migrated to Pakistan, Iran or any other country. They stood firm and chose to defend their faith and honour at the cost of their lives and wealth. On the rugged mountains they made their stand and from here they swooped on the Red Soviet Bear. During 14 years of Jihad against the Russians and after their defeat, Mulla Umar rarely travelled outside Afghanistan except for receiving medical treatment in the border town of Quetta. It was common practice among Afghan commanders to visit Pakistan every year and enjoy the luxuries of city life while they consulted their supporting governments and received aid. Mulla Umar, on the contrary, never made any such trips, which probably saved him from foreign influence and prejudice.

Being a low-level commander, the needs of his unit were fulfilled locally and never demanded his
absence from the battlefield. This turned out to be truly beneficial for the future of Islam and Jihad. Fortunately for the Muslim Ummah, all throughout his life he was exposed to only two elements: pure Islamic education and practical Jihad in the way of Allah (SWT). These exemplary fourteen years of his life are filled with purpose, chivalry, courage, vigour and perseverance in the way of Allah (SWT).

Allah (SWT) willed for him a country life filled with Islamic knowledge and Jihad battlefields. The
Almighty never exposed him to the outside world filled with greed, egocentricity and corruption. He was gifted with a true understanding of Islam and Shariah (Islamic laws), which, upon
implementation, transformed war torn Afghanistan into a depiction of the Islamic society during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his Companions (RAAH).

MARRIAGE AND RETURN TO EDUCATION

After the defeat and subsequent evacuation of the Soviet forces from Afghanistan, Mulla Umar went back to his religious studies. In a quiet and simple fashion, he got married at the age of 31. Allah (SWT) blessed him with two sons, Yaqub and Idris. There have been reports of Yaqub's martyrdom in the recent barbaric bombing by the Americans on Kandahar. While the Mujahideen commanders initiated a power struggle for Kabul, he started to teach at the local mosque.

POST-COMMUNIST ERA

With the passage of time, the post Communist era in Afghanistan saw even more destruction and
oppression perpetrated by the so-calledMujahideen leaders. As the situation of law and order
deteriorated, and the honour and property of the common man became even more insecure, the
Afghans became dismayed with the power hungry commanders. Most of these commanders were Communists who had infiltrated the ranks of the Mujahideen to take advantage of their success. It was the survival of the fittest and the weak had no one to turn to for justice. The honour and chastity of women was neither safe inside their homes nor outside. Sick women were abducted from hospitals, never to be seen again. Parents smuggled their young sons to Pakistan just to save them from the paedophile commanders. The Governor ofKandahar, Gul Agha, married a boy in a well-set and publicised wedding. After every few kilometres was a commander's check post set up to dispossess the people of their livelihood and honour. Robbery and looting was commonplace. Human life became so cheap that people were killed on minor issues. Homes and businesses were ransacked and burned down. Allah (SWT) earth's was ravaged and plundered; there was no peace and all hopes of tranquillity were at an end. Then it seemed the blood of the Martyrs and the fruits of Jihad were going to be lost.

The following account was received from a reliable source and it unveils the Satanic face of the post

Russian era commanders in Afghanistan:

A man was travelling in the province of Kandahar when he was stopped at a looting point set up by a Communist commander. When the poor man was harassed for money, he asked the commander's men why they were looting him and if Allah (SWT) and His Prophet, Muhammad (SAWS), had permitted them to do so. They said they would ask Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW). He was taken inside the check post and one of the harassers addressed a satanic clean-shaven man as Allah (SWT) and asked if he had given him permission to loot the poor man. The man replied yes. Then another ugly clean-shaven man was addressed as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who also granted their claim. Then the commander's men told the unfortunate man to hand over his money as he had witnessed Allah (SWT) and the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) affirm their demand.

STARTING THE TALIBAN ISLAMIC MOVEMENT

Mulla Muhammad Umar's heart bled as he saw the misery of the Afghans. It was unbearable for him to sit in his mosque and teach while the land of Jihad was transformed into a living hell for his people. Islam was kicked aside by the commanders and the sanctity of Muslims were torn. Afghanistan was burning and the West warmed hands over it.

It was in 1993-94; at the age of 33, that Mulla Muhammad Umar Mujahid, with a group of around 15-30 religious students started the Tehreek-al-Islami-at- Taliban (the Taliban Islamic Movement).

They attacked the local commanders' check posts in Kandahar and after securing them, took the
border town of Spin Boldak in an amazing operation. After securing the area in and aroundKandahar, they implemented the Shariah Laws and chased the Communists out of the province. More students joined them and the people welcomed the Taliban everywhere they went. Soon the oppressed people of other provinces invited them and the Taliban answered to their requests. One after the other, the Taliban took over the provinces of Afghanistan and by implementing Shariah, restored peace and order.

In 1996, the Taliban took over Kabul andMulla Muhammad Umar was unanimously accepted as the 'Ameer-ul-Mumineen' (the Leader of the Believers) of Afghanistan. Thus the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan came into existence.

CONCLUDING GLIMPSE OF HIS CHARACTER

Once a delegation of guest came to visit Mulla Umar. Fresh bread, cream, tea and other delicacies were brought for the guests and they all began to eat heartily. All except Mulla Umar that is. He refused to touch the cream or the bread. His guests ushered him to eat with them but he refused. His advisors also urged him to eat with the guests, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him eating this food since it had not been brought especially for him; it was brought for the guests and he was the host. He still refused. A few moments later, a worker brought in a bowl of plain soup together with some hard, stale bread.Mulla Umar proceeded to break the hard bread with his hands and eat it with the soup. Upon being asked the reasons for his refusal to eat the cream, Mulla Umar said: "When the lowest person in my country eats this food, then I will eat it."

Taliban Entering India's Kashmir Valley

2009-04-12T23:15:00.002+05:30

Is it true ?. Yes because entire ISI led group is trying to initiate a war with India. They can not attack directly so they are using another way. ISI is protecting Taliban and facilitating their movement towards India which is considered much safe as compared to Afghanistan border.

Actually ISI is caged in their own net and they have no way to cut it. Today If they support US then Terrorist will hit and if not then US will hit. Now they have a safe way just initiate a war with India which will provide a instant relief and some time to manage the situation.

Mumbai attack was well planned but they failed to gain real success because some of Key Indians ( Not Politicians ) managed the situation so that a war was avoided.

Media reports Sunday quoted the intelligence agencies as saying well-trained militants of Hizbul Mujahideen and Pakistan based militant group Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) have sneaked into the region from Pakistan with the aim to disrupt Indian general elections.

Why ?. Actually they are loosing control in Afghanistan and want a new area from where they can run their mission.

A Profile of Baitullah Mehsud

2009-04-12T01:51:00.002+05:30

Abstract: Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud is considered in some intelligence circles as a threat as big as, or bigger than, even Osama bin Laden. His rise from a relatively little known entity in South Waziristan to the head of a full-fledged Taliban movement in Pakistan has not only grave repercussions for local security, but also for the Global War on Terror. The rise of this movement in Pakistan is not just a local disturbance, but the phenomenon of Taliban resurgence after

their post-2001 setback in Afghanistan, and with Baitullah as a protégé of Mullah Omar taking charge, has international implications as well. This paper will examine the little that is known about Baitullah’s personal background, his rise to power, and his place in Pakistan.

The disturbance created in the name of sharia by the Taliban is posing a serious threat to socio-political and socio-cultural infrastructure of Pakistan. The violence is taking a turn toward sectarianism and ethnic and international unrest despite the

fact that majority of people in Pakistan do not support such an aggressive enforcement of Islamic law. Yet, the Taliban are out to prove that power of bullet is greater than the power of ballot. Between 2003 and 2008, 1,200 Pakistani soldiers were killed, along with more than 6,000 tribesmen. The insurgency has spread to urban areas and swathes of territory have been destabilized. Militancy has spread to other parts of Pakistan, with bomb blasts happening in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Multan, Kohat, Tarbela, Mardan, Charsadda, Swat, and the entire tribal belt. Over the past year, there was the assassination of a former prime minister, and the US has started missile attacks and troop build-up across the border in Afghanistan. All this is a far cry from 2002, when none of these aggressions existed.

With the rise in violence, particularly stemming from Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province and Federally Administered Tribal Area, a more visible and organized insurgent effort has emerged and new leadership has come forefront. One such leader is Baitullah Mehsud. Baitullah was recently named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.1

Newsweek labeled him “more dangerous than Osama bin Laden.”2 Certainly, Baitullah is now a household name in Pakistan and an almost endless source of worry for the intelligence and strategic circles. His meteoric rise to infamy is coupled with a shroud of secrecy that has surrounded him from the very inception of his career. This paper will examine the little that is known about Baitullah’s personal background, his rise to power, and his place in Pakistan.

A tribal man of Waziristan Baitullah is a Pashtun from the Broomikhel branch of the Shabikhel subtribe of Mehsuds. Son of the late Muhammad Haroon, Baitullah was born in the early 1970s in a village called Landi Dhok in the Bannu region of Northwest Frontier Province at a distance from the Mehsud tribe’s stronghold in South Waziristan, an agency in FATA.3 While geographically the whole of Waziristan is a single unit, it was split into two agencies -- North Waziristan and South Waziristan -- for administration convenience. This seemingly inhospitable terrain with high and difficult hills and deep and rugged defiles is home to some 700,000 tribal people. The Mehsud tribe makes up approximately 60 percent of the population while the rival Wazir tribe comprises roughly 35 percent.

Religious extremists, both foreign and homegrown, have long been present in the tribal areas of Pakistan. This is in large measure due to the past acquiescence and support of the Pakistani and US governments, which encouraged the mujahideen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Since the tribal areas are the natural geo-strategic gateway to Afghanistan, South Waziristan was a particularly important supply route for the mujahideen, helped by the fact that the same tribe lives on both sides of the border. After the toppling of the Afghan Taliban regime in late 2001, Pakistani, Afghan, and foreign militants fleeing from the US forces gathered in strength in Waziristan due to the naturally porous borders.

But the population is not ubiquitously radical, as some Western observers would like to believe. Indeed, most people of Waziristan would just like to make a decent living, as evidenced by the large number of tribals working in metropolitan cities of Pakistan as businessmen and laborers, trying to eke out a living by escaping the turmoil of FATA.

Since the tribal pattern in FATA is radically different from the settled districts in the Northwest Frontier Province, the tribal style of living is different inasmuch as they are governed by the local customs and traditions, observed by their forefathers through centuries. Although there is a federal government representative in each agency, the real local governing power comes from the tribal leaders. The tribal malik is the chief of a tribe with manifold responsibilities including that of a spokesman, guardian of tribal interests, and head of the tribal elders who enjoys immense powers of the jirga.i The malik has considerable administrative and political influence within his own tribal jurisdiction and with the provincial and federal governments. Prior to Baitullah’s rise to power in South Waziristan, it was unheard of for someone other than a malik to become a leader of such prominence in a tribal area.

The tribesmen of FATA, although diverse in many ways, share some common defining characteristics: they fiercely value their independence to the point of obsession; all foreign elements are by default considered suspicious (including Pakistani forces); and they would rather fight to the bitter end than lay down their arms in combat zones. Yet, at the same time, as history shows, they are prone to compromises if there are tangible dividends available that do not impact upon their traditional lifestyle.

From the outside, the Pashtun man is a delightfully confusing mix of contradictions. He can be a lifelong friend and a deadly enemy, a paradox of honesty and a shameless cheat, a jovial person who would watch Pashto movies, while taking a break to say his prayers. To quote renowned Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid from “Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia”:4 Anyone who has been touched by an Afghan or visited the country in peace or in war will understand when I say the country and the people are amongst the most extraordinary on earth. The Afghans have also been affected by one of the greatest tragedies of this century – the longest running civil war in this era which has brought untold misery. Their story and their character involve immense contradictions. Brave, magnificent, honourable, generous, hospitable, gracious, handsome, Afghan men and women can also be devious, mean and bloody-minded.

The same is true for the tribesmen of Pakistan.

Admittedly, the difficult terrain and the militants’ knowledge of Waziristan play into their hands; it is certainly not an easy area to fight a guerrilla insurgency. Even CIA Director Michael V. Hayden admits challenges of the region on close examination. “This looks simpler the further away you get from it,” Hayden said in a January 2008 interview with The Washington Post. “And the closer you get to it, geography, history, culture all begin to intertwine and make it more complex.”5

Baitullah’s training

Baitullah calls himself a Talib and swears allegiance to Mullah Mohammad Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban. While attending a madrassa in his early 20s, Baitullah was immensely inspired by Taliban ideology, making frequent visits to

Afghanistan as a volunteer to participate in the enforcement of sharia by the Taliban.
Other than attending a madrassa, where student frequently do little more than memorize Koranic verses, Baitullah has no other education. This is in sharp contrast to the leaders of North Waziristan who are known for acquiring their conservative religious knowledge through more formal education opportunities. Yet, despite his lack of formal schooling, Baitullah is very savvy. Considered a natural leader, with in-born keen political and strategic sense, Baitullah is leading his tribe against Washington and the NATO Allies in the War on Terror, even the Pakistani Army when necessary. Besides, he has a natural advantage over his foreign adversaries in that he was raised in the rocky region and is very well familiar with the locale, including topography, weather, and socio-cultural traditions of the tribes, language, and religious values prevalent in the area. And with guerrilla warfare, this advantage goes to the local populace, not the “foreign invaders.”

As a guerrilla fighter, Baitullah is considered a skilled marksman and expert in using small arms. Baitullah sharpened his skills under the guidance of legendary Pashtun commander Maulana Jalaluddin Haqqani,6 the man who is widely believed to have helped Osama bin Laden escape the targeted bombing by the US in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan in early 2002.

Now with Baitullah in a place of prime importance in South Waziristan, a tribal territory about the size of New Jersey, he is provided ample opportunities to prove his political and strategic acumen by displaying excellent military skills especially in guerrilla warfare and blitzkrieg techniques. He is considered a leader who displays great ability to infuse vitality and esprit de corps amongst his followers, adapting to the prevailing situation.

Baitullah seems to be obsessed with the concept of jihad, which is the militant hallmark. He draws his authority from verses of the Koran, citing those that defend his stance that non-Muslim foreign forces must be evicted from Islamic countries.

“Allah on 480 occasions in the Holy Koran extols Muslims to wage jihad. We only fulfil God’s orders. Only jihad can bring peace to the World,” he says.7 The militant leader has been active in fighting the foreign troops in Afghanistan, and the traditional Pashtun aversion to invaders also runs in his blood. “We will continue our struggle until foreign troops are thrown out. Then we will attack them in the US and Britain until they either accept Islam or agree to pay jazia [a tax in Islam for non-Muslims living in an Islamic state].” Suicide bombers are vital tools in his arsenal; he has predicted that they are capable of giving a bloodier nose to foreign forces in Afghanistan in the coming years. “The mujahideen will carry

out even more severe attacks. If [the West] have air power we have fidayeen [suicide bombers]. ... They will leave dishonoured.”8

Baitullah, believed to be around 35 years old, is diabetic.9 A local tribal chieftain divulged to Islam Online, on condition of anonymity, that “despite his diabetes, he is a very active man and keeps changing his hideouts frequently and briskly in order to be clueless to the hostile agencies.”10

“Personally, he is a very generous and polite man. … I found him a good person, and felt nothing extraordinary about him,” the local chieftain said describing an encounter with Baitullah about one year ago.11

Rise to power

In the early days of the current war in Afghanistan, it is believed by many that Baitullah was involved in the Taliban insurgency, dispatching his men to Afghanistan to fight against the US-led Coalition forces. In hindsight this point seems to be more than probable.

Known as emir, or commander, among his followers, Baitullah was a little-known figure on the tribal scene until late 2004, when he filled the vacuum left by the infamous tribal militant leader, Nek Muhammad Wazir who was killed in a missile attack in June 2004.12

His name appeared for the first time in newspapers after the abduction of Chinese engineers about three years ago when Baitullah was an aide to Abdullah Mehsud. Abdullah fought with the Taliban in Afghanistan against the Northern Alliance and in 1996 lost a leg when he stepped over a land mine.13 He was taken captive by warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum who turned him over to American forces. Abdullah was sent to Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba and held prisoner for two years, insisting the whole time that he was just an innocent tribesman. He was released in 2004 for reasons that remain unclear, and he returned to Waziristan. Soon after his return, Abdullah and his aide orchestrated the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers working on a dam in his region, proclaiming that Beijing was guilty of killing Muslims.

On Feb. 7, 2005, Baitullah signed a deal with the federal government. Negotiating on behalf of his own group, which was becoming increasingly powerful in South Waziristan, bolstered Baitullah’s credentials as a local leader. While the federal government interpreted the deal as Baitullah’s surrender, his associates called it merely a peace agreement. One might call by whatever term one might prefer, but it is a fact that Baitullah and scores of his supporters laid down arms in a tribal jirga meeting.14 It is also an undeniable fact that he was wanted by the government for allegedly sheltering and assisting al Qaeda fugitives in areas dominated by the Mehsud tribe.15 As a part of the peace agreement, Baitullah pledged that he and his associates would not provide assistance to al Qaeda and other militants, and would not launch operations against government forces.

Baitullah, at that time, explained that the peace agreement was in the interests of the tribal regions as well as in the interest of the government of Pakistan, since hostile forces like India and the Russian-backed former Northern Alliance fighters were benefiting from the lack of unity between the government and the tribesmen. This has been a consistent theme in his communications. He has referred to the Pakistani Army as a national institution that he does not see weakened by infighting.16 “We understand fighting against Pakistani security forces did not help the Taliban at all,” he told an assembled audience of press. “Pakistan has also realized that fighting tribal people is undermining it. Pakistan’s enemies are India, the Northern Alliance and Russia.”17 In return for amnesty, Baitullah promised not cross into Afghanistan for jihad.

If nothing else, the February 2005 treaty tremendously raised Baitullah’s stature among his own men and established him as a negotiating entity on par with the government. Also this peace treaty allowed Baitullah a respite to widen and further strengthen his support base.

In July 2007, Abdullah, who Baitullah once suspected of being a double agent,18 died during a shootout with Pakistani military. As the forces raided his residence in Zhob district of southwestern Baluchistan province on the Afghan border, Abdullah detonated a grenade killing himself. Abdullah’s death was a crucial element in catapulting Baitullah to the top leadership slot in South Waziristan and its vicinity.

Baitullah further consolidated his hold and established his warlord credentials in late 2007. On Aug. 30, 2007, in one of the most humiliating moments for the Pakistani Army in recent years, Baitullah’s forces brazenly captured more than 240 Pakistani soldiers and held them hostage for two months until his demands were met. One day after declaring a state of emergency in response to political scenarios in the country, then-President Pervez Musharraf reached a settlement with Baitullah, exchanging 25 militants in government custody for the captured troops. Musharraf later admitted that these men were trained suicide bombers, and one of them was under indictment for participating in a suicide bombing. As part of the deal, Baitullah agreed to expel foreign militants from his territories and stop attacking the Pakistani Army.

Thereafter, Baitullah’s name regularly began to emerge in daily news reports. Some have tended to portray Baitullah as merely an annoying thorn in the government’s shoe, while others have consistently seen him as a key figure that can disturb the political equilibrium in Pakistan. Regardless of the perception, Baitullah’s influence and ability to inflict damage is raising.

The formation of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan

Baitullah’s strength as a leader was made definitive in December 2007 when a Taliban shura, a 40-member consultative council, chose Baitullah to unify its operations in Pakistan. The council consisted of Taliban representatives the from seven tribal agencies of FATA -- Bajaur, Khyber, Kurram, Mohmand, Orakzai, and North and South Waziristan -- as well as from several

districts in the Northwest Frontier Province, including Swat, Bannu, Tank, Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohistan, Buner, and Malakand.19

The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan initially put forward a straightforward agenda, reiterating its stance to continuing the jihad against Coalition forces in Afghanistan as its main point. At the same time, the group issued a warning to the Pakistani establishment carrying out military operations against Taliban to desist from hostilities and release their prisoners, or face the consequences. In particular, they demanded the government pull its troops out of Swat within 10 days, the military close its check posts in Waziristan, and all Taliban be released, including former Lal Masjid khateeb Maulana Abdul Aziz.While the stated main goal of the newly formed group is to target the NATO allies in Afghanistan, a “defensive jihad” within

Pakistan, according to the group’s spokesman Maulvi Omar, was forced due to the federal government’s activities against Taliban supporters.20

Prior to the creation of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, the Taliban had been merely local groups. By forming a cohesive

Pakistani Taliban, their insurgency is afforded better coordination with the Afghan Taliban as well as with al Qaeda. A unified Pakistani Taliban certainly provides both military and political advantages by acting as one and speaking with one voice.21

In order to rise to this upper echelon, Baitullah superseded several influential Taliban leaders, including Sadiq Noor, Mullah Nazir, and Noor Islam. It is unclear if Faqir Mohammed and his branch of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM - the Movement for the Implementation of Mohammad’s Sharia Law) were represented at the meeting. A representative of Maulana Fazlullah’s Swat branch of the TNSM was in attendance.22

There is some sketchy evidence that even though Baitullah collected many of the splinter jihadi groups under the auspices of the Tehrik-i-Taliban, he has not entirely succeeded to keep some regional and ethnic militant groups united under him. One of the aims of the Tehrik-i-Taliban was to coordinate and make joint decisions on talks with the government. Some militants are in favor of halting attacks on the Pakistan military, in order to conserve tribal military energy for the fight against American and NATO forces across the Afghan border. Showing that united Pakistani Taliban are committed to the fight inside Afghanistan should serve as inspiration for Afghan jihadis to follow suit against Coalition forces.

Yet, militants from the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe in South Waziristan are now pro-government and are attempting to remain neutral, going so far as to push back against Baitullah’s fighters. In North Waziristan, one of the important militant leaders, Hafiz Gul Bahadar, has kept a cease-fire with the government, while Baitullah’s fighters have continued to carry out attacks on government troops.23 Farther north in Bajaur, Faqir Mohammed, a firebrand figure second only to Baitullah, was quiet early on, but has now joined the movement wholeheartedly.24 It should be noted that Faqir Mohammed’s inclusion in the Taliban cause adds great strength to it. In an area where alliances have historically had a bewildering tendency to abruptly materialize and just as suddenly disappear, one cannot really predict the future of the Taliban coalition. For the time being, however,

Baitullah is in a robust strategic position, now having control over the militant groups in Waziristan, Swat, and adjoining areas.

As the leader of the Tehrik-i-Taliban, Baitullah is playing a definitive and pivotal role in the upsurge of militancy in northwest Pakistan, in turn having a direct bearing on the political situation in the country, with grave ramifications for international security.

Life under Baitullah’s enforcement of sharia

“People dance to his tune. On his command, they can sacrifice their lives,” says the editor of a Peshawari newspaper on the condition of anonymity.

Baitullah’s camp followers give him credit for bringing peace, but detractors argue that this semblance of peace was a creation of Baitullah’s mafia, his lieutenants squeezing the local people of their entire financial and other resources.

Baitullah was in close association with Mullah Omar for the enforcement of extreme form of sharia dating back some 14

centuries, without being mindful of the changes that have occurred since the birth of Islam. Baitullah’s dictates are as retrogressive as those that the Taliban tried to impose in Afghanistan, with a disastrous effect on the fabric of the society.With porous borders and tribes that straddle both side of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the enforcement of sharia in FATA

is carried out much in the same way it is in Afghanistan. Civil liberties and fundamental human rights are not allowed in this society, and strict conformity to Taliban code of conduct is required. Music is banned, music and video shops are burned, vehicles if equipped with stereo are confiscated, and barbers are not permitted to shave beards. All of these activities have been regarded by the Taliban as haraam, or sacrilegious.

According to a tribal barber, all hair-cutting saloons in the area have been ordered by Baitullah to display warning signs to the effect that since shaving the beard has been forbidden, that service is not offered. Not only so, those violating this order are punished with barbershops being reduced to ashes; some have been put to death for undertaking this sacrilegious act. “Earlier I would shave my customers, but now I don’t. Because if I do, my shop will be torched and I will be punished to death by Baitullah Mehsud,” recounted Hayatullah, a barber in Makeen, South Waziristan, to a reporter early 2006.25

Hayatullah further

mentioned that about three months earlier, Baitullah ordered a couple who had committed adultery to be stoned to death.

It does seem that the inherent structural imbalances, in distributive social justice in FATA, have left gaping wounds, which the fundamentalist project is quick to exploit. Hussein Khan, who owns a pharmacy in Wana, the district headquarters of South Waziristan, credits local tribesmen like Baitullah for some of his good acts. “He has restored law and order in the area.

Dacoits and thieves have left the area fearing harsh punishments,” Hussein Khan told a reporter for Islam Online.26 “Some people also believe that there are many bad people in his militia,” Hussein Khan reported citing the killing of 13 family

members of the federal government’s political agent in Khyber agency in an armed attack by Baitullah’s militia in late 2007.

Baitullah publicly apologized for the incident, and the militants involved were placed in Baitullah’s jail.“Mehsud is gaining the advantage of indiscriminate bombing and killing of common tribesmen. Sympathies are increasing for him with every passing day. I am not a literate person, or a security expert, but I know that no military operation will succeed against him,” Hussein Khan added. “Those who are not supporters of Osama [bin Laden] or Baitullah, even they have been forced by the indiscriminate military operation to harbour sympathies.”

Baitullah runs a tight ship. Deserters are summarily executed. Even Taliban not following a tightly regulated code of conduct are summarily dealt with. Similarly, he does not tolerate opposition; according to reliable intelligence sources at least 100 Waziri tribal leaders have been purged on his orders.27

Aslam Awan, a journalist working with the jihadi publication Weekly Takbeer, mentioned setting up of a special task force in June 2007 purportedly to crack down on criminals in South Waziristan. “This force launched a number of crackdowns and made a feared kidnapper, Abdul Rashid Bakakhel, free some of his hostages. Baitullah also collected donations from the local people to establish peace. It was a kind of protection money,” Awan continued.28

Baitullah has established his own parallel government and has set up his own judicial system wherein tribals approach him for delivery of justice rather than resorting to the federal judicial courts. Money to support this operation comes from al Qaeda and the Taliban. Baitullah uses local clerics and 20 illegal FM radio channels in FATA to enforce his writ.

During times when a peace treaty is in effect, Baitullah uses the opportunity to consolidate his stronghold by giving a sense of security to the locals. This attitude can be examined in light of a local reporter’s statement: “Baitullah succeeded in establishing peace in the area. Thus, the local people started trusting him. Unfortunately, the Pakistan army failed to take action against Baitullah’s private army taking up the self-assumed responsibility without any governmental mandate for establishing law and order in the area. Pro-government and pro-US tribal people are being killed in Waziristan.”29 Sometimes death comes on the basis of hearsay and in the absence of any formal evidence, which is really alarming in any civilized country.

Baitullah’s opponents, however, blame him bitterly for the collapse of the entire legal structure, and they despise his ruthless approach towards internationally acknowledged inviolable and inalienable fundamental human rights.Tribal elements cooperating with Pakistani and US forces, considered as spies, are targeted and killed with impunity.

Notably, espionage is considered the worst possible indictment in Pashtun culture, and culprits are rarely, if ever, spared. Pro-Taliban radio stations are thriving in many agencies, and there are preponderant reports of militant camps in FATA. All this implies a gross lack of trust on part of the tribals for the government, to the point where it has taken the form of a militant movement.

One unit of Baitullah’s lashkar, or private army, is tasked to kill those who support the federal government or the US and its presence in Afghanistan.30 MI Khan, a journalist with the Nida-i-Millat newspaper, described how Baitullah kills pro-government tribal leaders: “First, he would confirm that the guy is an informer and then he would send him a Rs. 1,000 note along with a thread and a needle, telling the person to buy and have his kafan [shroud] stitched within 24 hours,” MI Khan said. “And the guy is murdered within 24 hours.”31

Additionally, there is a wave of sympathy within some Army circles for the tribals, as evidenced by some Army officers and a few Air Force pilots refusing to conduct military operations in the area. Pashtuns are the second largest ethnic group represented in Pakistan’s armed forces, and tribal affiliation with the beleaguered militants is surely pulling many of who serve in the military. This has the potential for generating a power base within the Army for Baitullah.

Evidently, differences of opinion exist, as some believe that not much has changed in the tribal areas. An officer of Frontier Constabulary holding the rank of an Army Major emphasizes: “It is a question of how you look at things. Jirga has along been a part of tribal tradition and cannot be equated with a parallel government. People

in tribal areas were already keeping beards. The women were already in purdah. So, you can’t say that a Taliban-like Shariat has been imposed.”32

It is imperative to contrast the rather laissez-faire variety of tribal religiosity that existed before the emergence of this phenomenon. Admittedly, the tribals did keep beards and women were in purdah, but this was more or less done out of a spirit of long-standing tribal tradition than an intense religious fervor.

In essence, the pre-Taliban tribal scenario was quite different. A prime example is the number of educational institutions for women in FATA, which even though not well attended to previously, is dwindling to zero. Girls’ schools are frequently torched. The formation of an al Qaeda and Taliban-run state within a state is such an alarming development, it certainly cannot be written off as if nothing much has changed.

Baitullah and the assassination of Benazir Bhutto

The assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto catapulted Baitullah into the mainstream. Baitullah was a relatively unknown entity to lay Pakistanis, until an English daily newspaper in October 2007 quoted a “low-profile tribal

leader” who threatened to exterminate Bhutto if she returned to Pakistan.

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear program, was noted as saying that upon Bhutto’s triumphant return to Pakistan in October 2007, Baitullah instructed al Qaeda militants in Karachi to kill her for “three major offences against Islamists.”33 Firstly, Bhutto stated in clear terms that the Pakistani military operation regarding Lal Masjid, or the Red Mosque, in Islamabad on July 10, 2007 as justified and proportionate. The operation involved 164 Pakistani special forces commandos storming the mosque and madrassa, killing at least 20 and injuring more than 100 radicals holed up inside. Lal Masjid remains an extremely emotive issue in the Pakistani radical scene.

Bhutto’s alleged second offense was engaging in a vigorous shuttle diplomacy with Washington, and probably as a corollary, she stated in unequivocal terms that if she succeeded in returning to power in Pakistan, she would allow an American search for Osama bin Laden inside Pakistan’s borders. This is anathema to extremists. Finally, she made a pre-electoral statement

that she would allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to question AQ Khan. Baitullah has indicated that he considers the detention of AQ Khan over alleged nuclear contraband smuggling to radical buyers to be unjustified, unsubstantiated, and an American ploy.

Baitullah has denied attacking any political figures, specifically denying he had anything to do with the attack on Bhutto on Oct. 18, 2007 and her assassination little more than two months later on Dec. 27. Baitullah claimed that it is against tribal custom to kill women. Retired Lieutenant General Hameed Gul, a security analyst and a former head of the powerful Inter-Services Intelligence, maintains that there was no personal animosity towards Bhutto. “Taliban came into being during

her stint [as prime minister]. Her government fully supported Taliban and they too never considered her an enemy,” said the former ISI chief. “She was personally conveyed [a message] by Mehsud that he was not her enemy. She accepted that clarification that is why her party men reject the government claims about Mehsud’s involvement in her assassination.”34

Baitullah’s claims aside, his involvement is arguably possible, since Bhutto was hoping to return to the Pakistani political scene as an icon of the war against terror riding on a perceived wave of American support.35

It is also an undeniable fact that there was a strong anti-Bhutto feeling among the militants. When a BBC reporter spoke to some of Baitullah’s men in October,36 days before the first attack against Bhutto, most regarded her as an “American pawn,”

and some openly condemned her for belonging to the minority Muslim Shia sect,37 which makes her apostate in the eyes of many of these ultraorthodox Sunnis. Many of them are of the opinion that Bhutto got what she deserved.Some investigators maintain that extremists from radical groups such as the sectarian Lashkar-e-Jhangvi could have been responsible for the October attack, and many conspiracy theories abound regarding her assassination.

Baitullah’s lashkar

Baitullah commands a force of 20,000 to 30,000 fighters in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan.38 A local tribal chief has put the number between 8,000 and 10,000 well-trained fighters. Roughly 2,500 to 3,000 foreign fighters, mostly of central Asian origin, are thought to be the forte of his force. With a force of this size, he is no doubt a most influential and powerful person in all of Waziristan.39

There is evidence that the Army operations tend to get bogged down in the difficult terrain, and the extreme methods used by the militants certainly seem to send a clear message to the soldiers. In October 2007, for instance, 50 troops went missing during an operation, and the Army later confirmed casualties. However, local sources quoted by a BBC correspondent, mentioned that all 50 had been killed and their bodies burnt.40 It is not unusual to have beheaded corpse of Pakistani soldiers turning up.Baitullah is said to be the man who has masterminded most of the recent suicide attacks in the country. Without discriminating between Muslims and non-Muslims, he has dispatched suicide bombers to kill Pakistani police and soldiers in Swat, Kohat, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, and Peshawar. A UN report released in September last year blamed Baitullah for almost 80 percent of suicide bombings in Afghanistan.41

According to some reports, Baitullah has compiled his own hit list of political leaders and high-profile government officials, and has formed special squads for carrying out such terrorist acts.42 They have been implicated in more than 60 suicide attacks in Pakistan over the last year, including the assassination of Bhutto.

In June this year, a person from Baitullah’s native village admitted in unequivocal terms that the Taliban leader had not been credited with any victory worth the name, nor has his performance been noted in any significant gun battle or skirmish unlike Taliban leaders in Afghanistan. Yet, Baitullah has a long list of major victories to his credit, including the capture of more than 240 Pakistani soldiers last year and the capture of two important military forts in South Waziristan on Jan. 16 and 17, 2008.43

Negotiating with the government

There has been a consistent pattern of negotiation going on between the government and the Baitullah: there is a military operation, then negotiations, followed by a cease-fire. The cease-fire has tended to be violated by the warlord, and the intervening period is ostensibly being used to either strengthen his position or violate the terms of the peace treat by capturing security personnel or imposing his radical laws on the local populace.

The government forces first entered the tribal areas in 2002 in response to reports of militancy, subsequently discarding military operations, which sustained high casualties, in favor for negotiated peace. Between March and July 2004, the government imposed a blockade on the Mehsud area of South Waziristan with extreme difficulty and protracted resistance, only to enter hasty negotiations in February 2005.44 The military at that time vacated these areas with a specific undertaking not to carry out similar operations in future. One bewildered senior government official at the time recalls having asked his bosses, “Whose compulsion is it to strike a deal, ours or the militants?”45

While Baitullah negotiated a peace deal with the government in February 2005, attacks on security forces were resumed in July 2005, resulting in a yet another inglorious peace deal.46 Another deal on Sept. 5, 2006, also fell apart. Each time Baitullah gets the government to agree to a cease-fire, he uses the opportunity to regroup and plan, such as for the August 2007

capture of 240-plus soldiers. In regard to the subsequent negotiated release of 25 militants, one senior military officer said, “This was a bitter pill that we had to swallow.”47

The US has repeatedly voiced reservations about any further deal making, since ostensibly, this has led to the current scenario where the militants are gaining the upper hand. Owais Ahmed Ghani, the governor of the Northwest Frontier Province, has repeatedly warned of the inability of the local governments of settled districts abutting the tribal areas to combat the growing menace militancy. “The government system in settled districts and the political system in tribal regions are heading toward a state of collapse,” Ghani told a number of journalists in February 2008.48

Baitullah’s place in Pakistan

Baitullah’s state stretches the length of FATA. The once media shy Taliban commander is very well poised to grab top spot as Pakistan’s public enemy number one, both within the country and internationally in being associated with Bhutto’s death. In addition to his lashkar, he “is now the head of all the tribes harbouring sympathies for Taliban. Tribesmen (local Taliban) from South Waziristan to Bajur agency have gathered under his flag, making him the most powerful and influential person in the tribal belt,” reported a local journalist.49

Over the past year, Baitullah has become far less reclusive and is not above flaunting his power occasionally. His operations now boast of running terror-training camps near the Afghan border, and the destruction of a suicide bombing “nursery” in Spinkai by Pakistani troops was flaunted in the media as evidence of his operational strength. Even more intriguing is the evidence that he is possession of state of the art intelligence monitoring equipment that relies on encrypted information to monitor Pakistani troop movement in real time.50 Pakistani intelligence circles have so far been unable to decrypt these signals.

There abound many opinions about the exact role of Baitullah within the overall Pakistani paradigm. Former ISI head Gul believes Baitullah is not at war with the Army as an institution: “He is acting against only those who have been there (in tribal area) at the behest of America. Otherwise, if not his brother, I am sure his many cousins would be in Pakistan army.”

He insists that the military interventions in the tribal area and last year’s fiasco of Red Mosque onslaught have boosted Baitullah’s popularity.51 “His only strength is a tribal system, which has given him so much power. In tribal system, everyone is your brother or cousin. So it’s very hard for a tribesman to sit idle if his brother, cousin or even fellow tribesman is fighting.” The veteran expert contends that the issue of Baitullah is being played for political reason: “This is just a hype being created by the US intelligence agencies about him to provide an excuse to their force to enter Pakistan and attack,” Gul told Islam Online.52“There is no comparison between Mehsud, and Bin Laden or Ayman Zuwahiri. He is a simple reaction or retaliation to the bombings and killings of his fellow tribesmen by Pakistan Bomb. The militants say they don’t wish to fight Pakistani security

forces because it only benefits the Americans.” Gul argues that Baitullah is not the first victim of such a hype campaign. “He is not the first one who is being presented as a big fish. Before him, there were Naik Muhammed, Abul Firaj Al-Libbi, Amjad Farooqi and Abdullah Mehsud,” said Gul, naming local al Qaeda chiefs killed by security forces in recent years. “It has become a trend here to make villains and then kill them.”53

This does not make Baitullah any less dangerous nor diminish his power in the region of the world that is the breeding ground for terrorist activities against NATO forces in Afghanistan, the West in general, and for that matter, all who do not think as he does. In an interview with Al Jazeera last year, Baitullah claimed, “his ultimate aim is to attack New York City and London.”54

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, China : Sponsors Terrorist

2009-04-12T01:47:00.001+05:30

Afghanistan and Pakistan are inextricably linked by a spreading Islamic insurgency.
Ambushes, daring militant offensives, and targeted assassinations have risen sharply in
Afghanistan, while suicide attacks and "Talibanization" are sweeping through Pakistan's
settled areas at an alarming rate. Can the U.S. win a decisive victory in the Afghanistan-
Pakistan theater? Is there a viable exit strategy?

The United States has assembled a superficially impressive international
coalition against the threat of terrorism. Many countries in that coalition,
however, contribute little of significance to the fight. Even worse, the willingness
of some members of the coalition to actually combat terrorism is doubtful.
Indeed, given their record, some of those countries appear to be part of the
problem, not part of the solution. That concern is especially acute with respect to
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and China.
Saudi Arabia enlisted in the fight against terrorism only in response to intense
pressure from the United States following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. Even then, its cooperation has been minimal and
grudging. For example, Riyadh has resisted Washington's requests to use its
bases in Saudi Arabia for military operations against Osama bin Laden's terrorist
facilities in Afghanistan.
Even that belated, tepid participation is an improvement on Saudi Arabia's
previous conduct. The U.S. government has warned that it will treat regimes that
harbor or assist terrorist organizations the same way that it treats the
organizations themselves. Yet if Washington is serious about that policy, it ought
to regard Saudi Arabia as a prime sponsor of international terrorism. Indeed, that
country should have been included for years on the U.S. State Department's
annual list of governments guilty of sponsoring terrorism.
The Saudi government has been the principal financial backer of Afghanistan' s
odious Taliban movement since at least 1996. It has also channeled funds to
Hamas and other groups that have committed terrorist acts in Israel and other
portions of the Middle East.
Worst of all, the Saudi monarchy has funded dubious schools and "charities"
throughout the Islamic world. Those organizations have been hotbeds of anti-
Western, and especially, anti-American, indoctrination. The schools, for example,
not only indoctrinate students in a virulent and extreme form of Islam, but also
teach them to hate secular Western values.
They are also taught that the United States is the center of infidel power in the
world and is the enemy of Islam. Graduates of those schools are frequently
recruits for Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda terror network as well as other extremist
groups.
2
Pakistan's guilt is nearly as great as Saudi Arabia's. Without the active support of
the government in Islamabad, it is doubtful whether the Taliban could ever have
come to power in Afghanistan. Pakistani authorities helped fund the militia and
equip it with military hardware during the mid-1990s when the Taliban was
merely one of several competing factions in Afghanistan's civil war. Only when
the United States exerted enormous diplomatic pressure after the Sept. 11 attacks
did Islamabad begin to sever its political and financial ties with the Taliban. Even
now it is not certain that key members of Pakistan's intelligence service have
repudiated their Taliban clients.
Afghanistan is not the only place where Pakistani leaders have flirted with
terrorist clients. Pakistan has also assisted rebel forces in Kashmir even though
those groups have committed terrorist acts against civilians. And it should be
noted that a disproportionate number of the extremist madrasas schools funded
by the Saudis operate in Pakistan.
China's offenses have been milder and more indirect than those of Saudi Arabia
and Pakistan. Nevertheless, Beijing's actions raise serious questions about
whether its professed commitment to the campaign against international
terrorism is genuine. For years, China has exported sensitive military technology
to countries that have been sponsors of terrorism. Recipients of such sales
include Iran, Iraq and Syria.
Even though Chinese leaders now say that they support the U.S.-led effort against
terrorism, there is no evidence that Beijing is prepared to end its inappropriate
exports. At the recent APEC summit, China's President Jiang Zemin was notably
noncommittal when President Bush sought such a commitment. Whenever the
United States has brought up the exports issue, Chinese officials have sought to
link a cutoff to a similar cutoff of U.S. military sales to Taiwan -- something that
is unacceptable to Washington.
It is time for China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia to prove by their deeds, not just
their words, that they are serious about contributing to the campaign against
international terrorism. In China's case, that means ending all militarily relevant
exports to regimes that have sponsored terrorism. In the cases of Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia, it means defunding terrorist organizations and the extremist
"schools" that provide them with recruits. It also means severing ties with such
terrorist movements as the Taliban and the Kashmiri insurgents. The world is
watching the actions of all three countries.
