Trace Inside Help for Terrorists in Lahore and Islamabad

By Shayan Khan • Oct 15th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 20 Comments

It is not possible that the terrorist could strike at the sensitive targets again and again without any help from inside the city. It’s not necessary that the help is coming from some religious seminary, but it could be from anywhere.

Half-cooked, half-trained and fanatic suicide attackers have the objective of creating terror and mayhem. In almost every attack, they fail to strike huge damage but they succeed to terrorize the people. The reactive strategy of the security forces has proved appropriate uptill now, but thats not enough, and by merely playing in the hands of terrorists and reacting to their attacks is not going to achieve anything.

Intelligence agencies have to be hyperactive and they need to track down such attacks before they happen. Until and unless the network of the terrorists is not broken, these attacks cannot be controlled. Above all, origin of the terrorists should be pounded hard.

  1. ’القاعدہ، سپاہِ صحابہ تعلق حملوں کی وجہ‘

    سابق انسپکٹر جنرل نے کہا کہ وزیرستان اور دیگر قبائلی علاقوں میں زیرعتاب آنے کے بعد شدت پسند ملک کے سب سے بڑے صوبے میں موجود اپنے اثاثے استعمال کر رہے ہیں۔’صوبہ پنجاب میں ہونے والی ان کارروائیوں میں ہم نے دیکھا ہے کہ کالعدم سنی انتہا پسند تنظیم سپاہ صحابہ کے سابق ارکان ملوث ہیں۔ ہمیں انٹیلی جنس ذرائع اور گرفتار ملزمان سے تفتیش کے ذریعے کئی برس قبل معلوم ہو گیا تھا کہ سپاہ صحابہ کے مفرور لوگوں نے القاعدہ کے ساتھ مراسم بنا لیے تھے اور اب ان دو دہشت گرد گروپوں کے درمیان تعلقات کار ہی صوبہ پنجاب پر آفت بن کر ٹوٹ رہے ہیں۔‘

    جہانگیر مرزا نے کہا کہ صوبہ سرحد میں ان شدت پسندوں کے مراکز کے تباہ ہو جانے کے بعد پنجاب میں یہ اپنے پرانے ’سلیپر سیلز‘ کو دوبارہ فعال بنا رہے ہیں۔ ’لیکن ان سلیپر سیلز کے دوبارہ فعال ہونے کے بعد ان تک پہنچ کے دروازے بھی کھل گئے ہیں اور میرا خیال ہے کہ بہت جلد صوبہ پنجاب میں بھی ان لوگوں کے نیٹ ورک توڑ دیے جائیں گے۔‘

  2. I do agree with the comment. The fact that the Manawan police training centre is 5 kilometres away from FIA building and Elite Force Centre and them being attacked simultaneously points to someone coordinating these attacks from within the city. I will rule out the rehearsal of the 5 kilometre journey beforehand to time the attacks because the attack was very early in the morning and you can not get an accurate travelling time from a common or different hideouts due to rush hour traffic. This tells us there are some cells operating within our urban areas and whoever was coordinating these attacks is still at large and therefore poses a threat. Such person or groups should be tackled immediately as they now possess the ability to carry out simultaneous attacks, which is totally new tactic in Pakistan and it is causing great concern in public about our ability to tackle such threats. It is now our duty as Pakistanis to report any suspicious behaviour in our surroundings to law enforcement agencies.

  3. What will you do after getting clues and traces.?
    You have courage to get the real culprits?
    Do you think that some low caliber man get training in terrain of our border areas and could have breached the high secure areas like GHQ.
    The aqeel like men who worked as JCO consider these officers as their God father.
    So who gave them such courage to intrude GHQ and held hostage like that.
    Rehman malik had all plan of GHQ attack and whole day he was saying on TV that I was aware of such wave of terrorism.So we poor Pakistanis in one side become victim of terrorism and on the other side effected by poor intelligence of our agencies working under rehamn malik who is always well aware of attack but his range of duty only works in VVIP culture.
    So before leaving your work place or home say good bye to your family and love ones that you might see them again as Allah’s blessing will only save you other wise no body is here to save you form wrath of terrorists.

  4. Rehman Malik Days are numbered. He was not allowed in side the GHQ on wednesday even though he had the invitation card to attend a function. He is a corrupt assistant director of FIA. He and Zardari Minted money in last BB govt and Zardari is using him as his tout for foreign exchange deposits.
    Thats why we need to get help from USA in regards to investigation and interogation. There is nothing wrong, If we can not resolve our own problems some one is ready to help as friend or allie otherwise it might be too late to keep our nuclear arsenal safe.

  5. People were shouting from roof tops that baitullah Mehsud is the enemy no 1 of Pakistan. He was an Indian RAW agent etc. But your airforce or Army was giving cordinates to US drones but it itself will NOT attack him. WHY? Why this FEAR? Whom they fear? Now that he is killed by US drones but people are educated to not welcoming it .Media is against it? Why?Why Zardari and Nawaz are finding safe havens in Dubai,Saudi arabia and now even China? why?

  6. @4: well peer bhai are u aware of history of sub-continent? how british came to sub-continent? and what they did? well if u r saying that we should get help from USA in in our internal matters then i wonder if r muslim as ur name suggests because you are talking about getting help form someone who is clearly enemy of ALLAH and in fact all the world (time will tell us this). even then people like u keep on insisting to get help from USA then one day you might ask help from USA to get u a baby……………………huh!

  7. @ 6 Misc,

    Can you provide us the list of all the enemies of Allah?

  8. you should use ur eyes and brain to recognize them…..

  9. and doodh ki rakhwali bili kya kary gi????? USA is already behind our nucleasr assets and peer was talking about asking USA for help to protect our nuclear assets…..

  10. @7: i think you misunderstood my comment, i m not saying that all the world is enemy of ALLAH…. i meant to say that USA is enemy of all the world and wants to conquer the whole world……..and USA is enemy of ALLAH……

  11. @ 10,

    Dear Misc.,

    Why do you consider USA the enemy of Allah? Just because USA is present in Pakistan and doing whatever they want, you have labeled them enemy of Allah instead of enemy of Pakistan. Do you think Allah loves only Pakistan because Pakistan is an islamic nation? There are more muslim in India as compared to Pakistan. But Indian muslims don’t hate americans and they don’t like them either. It is because we Indians never allowed and will never allow USA to interfere in our internal affairs. There are other islamic nations too like Indonesia, Turkey etc but Americans did not harm them. Pakistan got easy funds from USA to create Talibs, destroy Afghanistan and Soviets and then again run after destroying their own created monster taliban. Don’t you think it was a wrong decision from your leaders to be an ally of USA a few decades ago. At that time, USA was a friend of Pakistan. And now you call them enemy of ALLAH ! Why the hell do you blame USA now? They paid you and in return you have to render the services they want. It’s simple.

    USA could not have done anything if Pakistan had not allowed them to use you at first place.

  12. let us not talk about only pakistan…
    talk about Iraq, talk about Afghanistan, Talk about Phalestine, Talk about Kashmir………………. muslims have been killed by USA and their allied powers………………. i wonder if u ever read the history or know about new world order, or dajjal and etc……….

    P.S: We do not have a Paksitani government in Pakistan….we have USA government in Pakistan…… and USA wants their government in the whole world

  13. Dear Brother Misc,

    That’s what I am asking. Why didn’t Pakistan and their leaders realized the evil intentions of Americans at that time? Why did your government/leaders sell themselves to Americans? The answer is dollars$. Was dollars more important than Allah for your leaders at that time? From Pakistan’s history….it looks so…. As far as Afghanistan is concerned, Pakistan played a vital role in sabotaging the government and putting talibans in their place. At that time, Pakistani muslims killed Afghani muslims. Where had your brotherhood towards muslims disappeared? Why do Pakistani muslims think that Muslim-killing-muslim is OK but non-muslim must not kill muslims?

    Why aren’t Americans enemy of Indonesians, Turkey…………..why only Pakistan.

    I again say….. they paid you and they expected good service from you in return.

    You say…..”We do not have a Paksitani government in Pakistan….we have USA government in Pakistan…… and USA wants their government in the whole world”

    It is your problem brother. Do not blame USA or Allah for it. It’s the people who make government and it’s the people who kick government. If Pakistan really wants true democracy…..then keep religion out of politics. Keep away religious mullahs away from politics. Stop them from preaching hatred towards infidels.

  14. The simple answer of all this discussion that our leaders and managers are peddlers .Give them money and they would give you all as per your demand.As these fishmongers are not available in Turkey ,Iran and Indonesia so US cant penetrate in their areas as they have encroached on our side.

  15. All the parties -the Am-Brit, Pakistan, Russian, China and India- are playing sort of double game. No one sounds to afford an open and conventional war. Whereas the presumed enemy is Osama bin Landen that has yet to be found on the ground of reality.

  16. More you would indulge yourself in lengthy war , the lesser the soldier’s interests in the war and you would start loosing your war fronts on the basis of moral ground.This is lesson of history but our shortsighted leaders and army management are failed student of history so cant read it in its exact spirit.

  17. This is really very difficult put blame on Pak Army for all the wrong in Pakistan, but however they have a great role in making the Pakistani style of governance so you can say that.

  18. I wouldn’t have given blame to army if they didntt give birth to illigtimete NRO before 2008 elections.
    I am quite sure that ISI colanial took active role in fabricated elections.Along with this they fully protected
    characters like rehman malik to return and got important seats in our system.
    I am partially aware of their corruption charges which they are shamelessly doing while wearing this uniform,This is same uniform in which our real soldiers are dying for poor planning of their bosses.
    So in case of severe head on collisions first blame should be directed towards driver who is hired on high perks for taking us to our destinations .

  19. In the twenty fist century ISI is no longer the single source that affects on our political stage. There is more than half a dozen ghosts poke into our noses while we enjoy the apparent scene. The ISI just sounds to scarify and keep sacrificing and sacrificing it’s credibility for CIA and Mossad and that’s not new; it has been happening since 1979 when Soviets occupied Afghanistan and we* CHOSE to step in.

  20. ISI job is not only restricted to counter RAW and our political groups only,They must design and forecast and then counter how to confront the tactics of mossad and CIA,But all knows that it is CIA that is providing the guide lines to ISI since the time of zia and now penetrated on all important departments of Pakistan through them.
    The case of missing persons are closely related with such discussion.
    I tell you the sentiments of one real soldier who was accompanying President Ishaq and ISI cheif at the the time of Ojri blast in his helicopter ride to capture the aerial view of missiles rain on poor civilians that day.
    He was shocked to see and still remembered the calmness and coldness of both leaders of state after seeing the disaster happening on ground level due to mismanagement of ojri camp owners,
    Now he understand that they were informed by this man made calamity.
