Terrorist Taking Houses on Rent: Our Responsibility
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Oct 13th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 12 CommentsAlmost after every group attack, it is divulged by the security forces and the media that the terrorists were present near the area in some house for months. Terrorists took the house on rent after paying hefty advance and the unusual rent.
Though it has been ordered to the property dealers and the public that not to give away the house on rent without the background check and they are required to report it to the nearby police station. But that remains confined to the theory and there is no proper check and balance regarding this.
Terrorists have to plan the attack. They have to do the reckie and they have to accumulate the arms and other material for the attack. They have to see and track the routes and they have to also see their enterance and the exit points. They have to be in the area, for such a big attack, for many weeks, and for that they have to be near the area at some safe house.
Media and government should initiate a massive campaign to raise awareness among the masses to not to give their houses on rent on suspicious people. If somebody appears out of the blue, offers handsome rent for a small remote house, give whatever advance you ask for, then the house owner should be at once become suspicious. We all should keep a vigil in our neighborhood for the terrorists.
Just pause for a moment and take a stock of your neighborhood in mind. Is there any house, which is on rent for short period of time? Is there any house nearby you where some suspicious people live (more probably with no family)? Is there any house where people don’t get out, or some suscipious people lurk at night? If there, don’ t hesitate and ring the police.

What about the “Terrorist Taking Training from Us: Our Responsibility” part?
Has army finally agreed to shun these terrorist/jihadi groups? I have a feeling not.
That is the greatest thing about pakistan… You support these terrorists first and now they hit you… And even after that your ISI and army are still supporting them….. Wonderful…
Umair, You are the prime example of Qadyani hatred for Islam and Pakistan.
Arun, you still follow NDTV, it seems.
Brig, it still quite easy to hire a non chalant house in remote colonies springing around the pindi islamabad by paying demanded rent. Terrorists have enough money, and now instead of renting, they would start buying houses.
“Umair, You are the prime example of Qadyani hatred for Islam and Pakistan.”
@Dr. Zamir:
I am glad that you made it clear that creating and training such terrorists as Taliban and jihadis who are killing no one except Pakistanis and Muslims is patriotic and criticizing such acts of killing of Pakistanis and Muslims is a sign of hatred for Islam and Pakistan. If you were not such a religious bigot perhaps you could also see what even blind could see that it’s the religious bigot like you whose support for these jihadis is the reason why we are in this mess right now.
@Dr. Zamir:
PS: You are frustrated that your jihadis are loosing ground. Sorry buddy but they have to go. khail khatam paisa hazam.
Ah, our responsibility?? We have been making the worlds top corrupt person the president. We have been letting our representatives lot our country… We have been providing facilities to the top criminals of this nation to escape from any scrutiny and from our bases and our soil.
This is not all time our responsibility to mention govt agencies again and again that wrong is doing around us.
Prevention is surely better than cure but who is taking responsibility of our prevention.
These groups only work for their personal and VVIPs security.
It is not job of ordinary citizens to keep vigilance on locals then what is requirement of billion rupees expenditures on police,IB.MI and lot of FIUs
I have seen myself that at the time of lawyers movement LAE strictly adopted measures to curb all movements of people going against govt.They monitor mobile phones, rented houses near Islamabad areas just before the long march, sealed all routes to VIPs or i can say that cordon off all probable activities of people’s movement.
So how they ignored the high secure areas and killing of bhutto is making their position very suspicious.
You know that when Bhutto was disembarking from stage of Liquat bagh,it was on record on log book of police that IG ordered on wireless to immediate remove all police men from her route ,That was a reason that not a single police man was hurt in this deadly blast.
Same thing in GHQ, the terrorists clearly adopted those route which is through out under use by Kiyani and it was strictly monitored by hundreds of men all the time so why terrorists picked this point which was highly under surveillance.The other routes for RA bazar or from AFIDs unit ,less protected was ignored.
so these are unanswerable questions no body is raising in the line of investigations.
Brig Saheb,
The leader of this band of terrorists is one serving Army officer Zubair and i think he arranged for safe houses and also INtelligence about Army HQ and also there is a rule that all those who work inside Army Hqtrs must NOT carry weapons.He laso knew the location of the romm where Intelligence set up is loated and also the underground stairs.All this was published 5 days before actual attack in one of your dailies.
But the attack was allowed to take place or the intelliegence was ignored because it was provided by punjab special branch police?
I think it is connected to the dialogue between hakeemullah and GHQ The former wants unrestricted entry to Afghanistan to kill Americans while GHQ is advising him to lie low in Afghanistan and kill Indians in Kashmir instead. Or it is it linked to the effort to bring gillani as President throwing out Zardari?
The traitor rulers have reduced Pak Army into the world’s cheapest private security firm for America:
After Swat and Khyber, America is using Pak Army to break the hell loose on the people of S. Waziristan.
After a conclusive and clear-cut diktat from America, the government of Pakistan has finalized its preparations for a full-scale military offensive in Waziristan. Food and necessary supplies have already been cut-off for the residents in South Waziristan for the last two months. On his way back from America, Zardari, a president on American payroll, announced this operation in London in May 2009. Same was the case for Swat operation which was started by Zardari while he was in America after the displeasure and intimidation by Hillary Clinton. The fact is that under American dictates, the government first decides to undertake the operation and then works to concoct excuses and reasons to convince the masses. By handing over the services of Pakistan armed forces to USA over just re-imbursement of expenses and Eid gifts the government has turned our armed forces into the world’s cheapest private security firm. And now by attacking Waziristan with two division forces, the government is lending support to the America’s losing crusade in Afghanistan - to which even America and Europe themselves are reluctant to lend their “precious” blood.
The time has come for you to stop the government from repeating the blunder of Waziristan operation after they have massacred in Swat. Do you not see, the moment the government decided to launch operation in Waziristan, bomb blasts in major cities have increased? Same is the case with load-shedding which is increased to an extent that the people are so preoccupied with their own problems that they don’t even get the chance to know what is happening with their Muslim brothers in the Tribal belt. O Muslims! Millions will be displaced again in the coming winter and hundreds of Muslims will die, if not thousands. The killer and the killed both will be believers. You will have to stop this oppression by coming on streets and roads. You will have to kick-out America and Blackwater to fulfil your responsibility.
O Armed Forces of Pakistan! These are the same tribesmen along with whom you expelled USSR from this region. They used to love you and you respected them. Then who is the one who turned you against each other? Indeed it all started with the advent of US troops in the region. Know thy enemy and support your brothers who are busy in expelling the crusaders from the region instead of lending support to the devil, the USA. Bear in mind, It is not acceptable in front of Allah (swt) in any case that you kill Muslims by allying with Kuffar. Allah (swt) said;
وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his Recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for Him. (TMQ: An-Nisa; 93
“The traitor rulers have reduced Pak Army into the world’s cheapest private security firm for America:”
@Usman: Don’t worry the “traitor” government has no power and is barely hanging on. The Army is still the most power and independent of the institutions. And don’t worry, Army is giving ample time to terrorists in Waziristan to move away to other parts of the country before starting “operation”. Only those who are stupid enough to remain in Waziristan will be dealt with. Even those who are caught will later be released by courts or under deals.
Its not in Army’s interest to get rid of these terrorists. For one it needs strategic depth in the neighbourhood, and second it can always keep the nation scared to keep giving it massive budget year on year. General Kiyani’s hefty pension and privileges are safe as long as these terrorists exist. While these terrorists are being “dealt with” in north, more are being created with Army’s knowledge in southern Punjab and other places. Watch Mubashar Luqman’s program from last night (Monday) where DG Rangers Punjab admits there are madrassas in southern Punjab (and names of some of these madrassas were named) who are involved in illegitimate activities, and foreign diplomatic officials are visiting these madrassas for support.
This is a game, being played on naive people of Pakistan.
But rest assured your favourite terrorists are safe.
