Why Ghani’s Pakistan Outreach Failed

After more than a year and a half of courting Pakistan with the hope that it could deliver the Taliban to the negotiating table, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has finally changed his course.[/quote]

“We do not expect Pakistan to bring the Taliban to talks,” he proclaimed to a joint session of both houses of Afghan Parliament on April 25

For the vast majority of his presidency, Ghani has determinedly pursued a policy of being the neighbor many thought Pakistan desired. It was hardly a secret he was the candidate Pakistan favored during the run-off election, with General Pervez Musharraf even declaring so publicly in an interview.

Being a Pashtun, he was the preferred candidate of the Paki establishment

Ghani’s endeavors toward a rapprochement with Pakistan manifested in a reversal of many of his predecessor’s policies. Whereas former President Hamid Karzai refused to send Afghan troops to any neighboring countries for training, Ghani allowed for six Afghan cadets to receive training in Pakistan. He has gone as far as to permit the Pakistani military to operate on Afghan soil and even authorized cooperation with them in their operations against the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

hani also rescinded Karzai’s request for arms from India, with his first visit to Kabul’s historic ally coming seven months into his presidency.

Karzai had good reasons not to trust Pakistan; his father, head of the Karzai clan killed by the ISI in Quetta !

This begs the question: Why has Ghani’s olive branch to Pakistan’s security establishment failed? The answer lies in an understanding of prevailing strategic thought in the Pakistani security establishment.

If Ghani and the U.S. hope to finally change Pakistan’s double-dealing, they cannot pin hopes on attempts at appeasement. The only thing that can prompt Pakistan to reconsider its sheltering and support of the Taliban and other proxies is a tangible shift that will alter its strategic calculus.

Once the US completes its troop withdrawals, more Taliban style attacks are likely to take place !

As Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan and Iraq, recently stated, Pakistan will only discontinue its current policy in Afghanistan when its continuity begins to cost them. In other words, Afghanistan must grow strong enough so that Pakistan’s meddling will become too costly for the latter to sustain.

The US has the lever to stop aid to Pakistan

To accomplish this, Afghanistan and its allies must launch a multi-pronged strategy. Militarily, the Afghan Air Force must be built up, the ANSF must develop their medevac capabilities, and a more aggressive posture must be taken to carry the fight to the fundamentalists.

Although the expectation that Pakistan would be genuine in its commitments to change its ways was overly optimistic, the underlying assumption that stability cannot be achieved without its cooperation is accurate. If this type of cooperation cannot be achieved through Ghani’s outreach, the international community must do more to change Pakistan’s strategic calculus for continuing its covert support for violent extremism.

There are a variety of mechanisms at the international community’s disposal, from economic sanctions, to conditional aid, to the elimination of subsidized military equipment.
If the U.S. and its allies want peace in the region, they will have to muster the courage to confront Pakistan’s duplicitous ways. After 15 years of trial and failure, perhaps it is time to try Occam’s razor.

India can help Afghanistan by bypassing Pakistan and using the Iran sea route for trading

It is pertinent to mention here that Annie Khan, in a past interview with DawnNews, had expressed her desire to marry Imran Khan.
Showing a room full of PTI chief’s pictures and posters, (so are they communicating via social media ?) she had said that she wishes Imran Khan good night and good morning daily on Twitter.

So, Immy is back in the "marriage market" that soon again; hope this time, he heeds the advice of his sisters and assorted relatives vis-a-vis this prospective local singer

PML-N embarrassed: Official Facebook page posts pictures of Indian train believing them to be of Pak Railways

Taking the PML-N’s Facebook post at face-value, a local party leader went on to share the pictures on his personal profile while praising Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique

Earlier, the official Facebook page of the PML-N Forum shared a number of striking pictures showing supposed innovations and improvements in the Pakistan Railways.
Rather embarrassingly, however, these pictures were actually of an Indian train named “Anubathi coach”. One of the pictures shared by the PML-N on Facebook even bears a sign in Hindi, one of India’s national languages.
The pictures have yet to be removed from PML-N Facebook page and can be accessed here: https://www.facebook.com/PmlNForumOnSocialMedia/posts/868769743252032

Is it possible that this is part of a "big conspiracy" by the Paki Fauj to malign the "good name" of Badmash Sharif"
Also a good legal case can be made by Indian Railways for seeking compensation from Ganja Sharif's party for misuse of Indian Railways pictures without prior permission !

Pakistani Embassy in US arranges cultural event

WASHINGTON (Staff Report) – The Pakistan Embassy in Washington has arranged a range of educational and cultural events seeking to increase public awareness about Pakistan among Americans.

Thousands of Americans and members of Pakistani community visited the Embassy and expressed a keen interest in food, art, fashion, music, folk dances and various other aspects of Pakistan’s rich Islamic culture.

The Embassy joined some fifty resident embassies in celebration of an annual cultural event

IMO, this is another attempt to do an = = in the cultural department and also to burnish Pakistan traditional image as an exporter of IT (the other kind !)

26/11 planners ‘our people’, said then ISI chief - Suhasini Haidar, The Hindu

The planners of the 26/11 attacks were “our people” but it wasn’t “our operation”, the then-ISI chief Gen. Shuja Pasha had admitted shortly after the Mumbai attacks in 2008, says former Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S. Husain Haqqani. The revelation, which appears in a forthcoming book on India-Pakistan relations, recounts the visit by General Pasha to Washington on December 24-25, 2008, where he made the startling admission.

At the end of his meetings with his CIA counterpart Gen. Michael Hayden, General Pasha had reportedly visited Mr. Haqqani at the ambassador’s residence. “Pasha said to me ‘ Log hamaray thay, operation hamara nahin thha’ ,” Mr. Haqqani writes in the book — India vs Pakistan: Why Can’t We Just Be Friends? {Even that "operation hamara nahin thha" is a lie. The planning, training and execution all involved serving Pakistani army & navy officers. How can PA/ISI deny that? They cannot disown their serving men just like they usually disown their dead army men and jihadi terrorists, can they?}

Speaking to The Hindu over the telephone from Washington, Mr. Haqqani said Gen. Pasha had also told Gen. Hayden that “retired military officers and retired intelligence officers” had been involved in the planning of the attacks.

The conversation between the chiefs of the ISI and CIA has been recounted in three books earlier — by then U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice in her memoirs, Bob Woodward in his book “ Obama Wars ” and earlier this year by Gen. Hayden himself in his autobiography, Playing to The Edge . However, this is the first time Gen. Pasha’s words corroborating the ISI link have been recorded by a Pakistani official.

No prosecution

According to Mr. Haqqani, the link was confirmed by the fact that Pakistan’s government never prosecuted the accused.

“The fact that we never pursued the case against the accused [officers] in the 26/11 case despite all the evidence that had been provided: not just by India, but by the U.S., by the American NSA including intercepts of conversations during the attacks, that pointed a finger at us, at the Pakistan government,” he said.

According to Mr. Haqqani, who faced charges of treason in Pakistan in 2011 after the military accused him of writing a “Memo” to the U.S. government on the Osama Bin Laden killing, the Army’s denial of any link to the 26/11 attacks was of a piece with their stand on other strikes “all the way from the 1980s to Dawood Ibrahim.”

Ali Haider Gilani recovered from Afghanistan after three years in captivity

ISLAMABAD:
Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s son, Ali Haider Gilani, was recovered on Tuesday in a successful operation in Afghanistan.
Foreign Office in a statement said Ali Haider had been recovered “today in a joint operation carried out by the Afghan and US security forces”.

According to sources, the embassy had sought access to Gilani, who is at the Bagram airbase with the American military.

So, he is undergoing de-briefing by the CIA, who may want to get further proof of Al-Qaieda / ISI links !

“PM Yousuf Raza Gilani received a call from ambassador of Afghanistan. His son Haider Gilani has been recovered in a successful operation,” the PPP chairman said on Twitter.

The former premier also thanked the Afghan Security Forces for bringing a happy ending to a dreadful family saga for them, Zakhilwal added.

In May 2013, armed assailants kidnapped the son of the former prime minister, while also killing two PPP workers in the attack.
Two years on…: Ex-premier Gilani’s abducted son ‘happy and safe’
The incident took place at a party corner meeting in Farrukhabad, near Matital Road in Multan, where Ali Haider was scheduled to address.
At the time of abduction, CPO Multan had said eight armed men riding a black Honda City car and two 125 cc motorcycles, opened fire at a corner meeting in Farrukh Town, an area falling in Ali Haider’s PP-200 constituency.
Witnesses said a bullet also hit Ali Haider and that he was bleeding when the kidnappers dragged him into the car.

Since Al-Qaeda does not operate in "friendly" countries like Pakistan, the hand of the TTP cannot be ruled out ! It is possible that the Deep State may have facilitated his release.

Earlier, a top government official had said Gilani was in custody of a militant group not part of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
The official had also stated that the group had demanded Rs2 billion in ransom and warned that they would kill him if their demand was not met within a month.
Ali Haider’s recovery comes two months after Salmaan Taseer’s son Shahbaz Taseer was recovered five years after he was abducted.

Pak Nuclear Scientists And Their Anti-India Ideology
Husain Haqqani is director for South and Central Asia at the Hudson Institute in Washington DC. He served as Pakistan's ambassador to the US from 2008 to 2011.

Pakistan has become the world's only nuclear weapon power (excluding possibly North Korea) that abjures committing to a 'no first use' policy about weapons of mass destruction. Pakistan is also the only country in the world that publicly says that its nukes exist solely for defence against a specific country - India.

This is not new to those who follow events in that part of the world !

As recently as March 2016, Pakistan's foreign affairs adviser, Sartaj Aziz, said that 'India, not terrorism, is the biggest threat to the region' and asked India to reduce its nuclear stockpile so that Pakistan can consider reciprocation.

This is "proof" for those who still believe that "solving Kashmir problem" will make disappear all other problems between the two!

Still Sartaj Aziz insisted that India imperiled Pakistan more than terrorism. He reflects Pakistan's fixation with India, which US President George W. Bush once described as an 'obsession'.

The Pakistani psyche cannot envision anything other than at least an == ; they cannot see an dent in their echendee!

India's nuclear programme also originated not out of a regional rivalry, but from the argument that nonproliferation should be global. Either no one should have weapons of mass destruction or everyone has the right to have them. Pakistan's nuclear programme, on the other hand, is about contention with India. Pakistan developed, and continues to develop, nuclear bombs as a direct response to India, nothing more and nothing else.

The army's future in Pakistan is dependent on everlasting rivalry with India .

Moreover, contrary to a widely held belief, Pakistan did not start working on building nuclear weapons only after India's 1974 tests. Bhutto reportedly assembled nuclear scientists at Multan in January 1972, not even one month after Pakistan's humiliating military defeat in Bangladesh, and called upon them to chart a quick path to nuclear weapons status. 'We will eat grass,' Bhutto famously remarked about Pakistan having an atomic bomb, 'but we will get one of our own. We have no other choice.' Pursuit of the bomb, then, was about restoring Pakistan's wounded pride and preventing military humiliation like the one at Dhaka, and not just about keeping up with a nuclear India.

IMO, this megalomaniac (Bhutto) is responsible for many ills facing Pakistan even now !

Feroz Hassan Khan, who served in the Pakistan army's nuclear Strategic Plans Division, has written the definitive book on how and why Pakistan made the bomb. The book is aptly titled Eating Grass: The Making of the Pakistani Bomb. 'Pakistani senior officials tapped into the genius of young scientists and engineers...

several Pakistani nuclear scientists became active proponents of Islamist and anti-Indian state ideology. The most prominent among them was Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, a metallurgist who advanced Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme by bringing with him (some would say stealing ) ( the author is wrong on this; there are detailed reports on his pilferage !)designs and specifications from the Dutch uranium enrichment plant where he worked in the early 1970s. A.Q. Khan, as he became known, also headed the procurement network that enabled Pakistan to covertly acquire equipment for its nuclear facilities from all over the world. After helping build Pakistan's bomb, A.Q. Khan went on to sell the designs and material for nukes to Libya, Iran and North Korea, claiming in a 2004 televised confession that he did so only for personal financial gain and not as Pakistani state policy.

In his many interviews and sponsored biographies, A.Q. Khan told the story of how he reacted to Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war, met Zulfi kar Ali Bhutto and offered to share technology he was working on in the Netherlands that would help Pakistan become a nuclear weapons power. Fear and hatred for India was his sole motivation though later he became vehemently anti-American, too, because of US opposition to Pakistan's nuclear ambitions.

Not only this but there are other reports as well which detail the personal rivalry between the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Chairman (PAEC) and A.Q. Khan of Khan Research Laboratory (KRL) to get "credit" for the First Islamic Bomb. And then there is his present "Insurance Policy" in form of his Diaries stashed abroad with his "friend" in London, in case he meets an "accident" at the hand of the Deep State; as long as he does not spill any "embarrassing truth" about the Jernails and the kernails, he will probably die a natural death

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan aims at increasing exports to India to one billion dollars within a year, as made-up textiles products and readymade garments have great potential to make their way to Indian markets.This was said by Minister for Commerce, Engr. Khurram Dastagir Khan while chairing a meeting with Pakistani counterparts of Pak India Business Council here on Tuesday. The delegation was headed by Mr. Yawar Ali Shah who briefed the minister on their recent visit to India and outcome of the meetings held with Indian business and trade stakeholders.The minister was of the view that due to land route, Pakistan is the most favorite and cost-effective market for India in terms of importing raw material for their agriculture and textile products.He was of the view that trade concessions to India cannot be offered unilaterally. India also need to extend access to Pakistani products with preferential duty regime, the minister added.Earlier, the delegation was of the view that Indian food manufactures are looking for difference Pakistani agriculture products like Mango and Kinno in specific seasons. Also, they added, Pakistan agriculture products like green peas can be exported to India, as they run freezing plants at far less capacity of 200,000 tons.The business interlocutors were of the view that trade with both countries should cooperate in promoting SME, Agriculture, Tourism & Culture, Research sectors, Basmati Rice branding issue and exchange of business groups visits.Later, a delegation of Pakistan Commercial Exporters Association called on Minister for Commerce with an agenda to boost exports in Gems and Jewelry products.

Axis of Zionism

Soon after the Arab Israel war in 1967, Israel’s first Prime Minister and a fanatic Zionist David Ben Gorion, inflated with arrogance of victory against Arabs gave out the outline of the scheme for undoing Pakistan.The weekly Jewish chronicle London reported in these words: “The world Zionist movement should not be neglectful of the dangers of Pakistan to it and Pakistan now should be its first target, for this ideological state is threat to our existence.The inhabitants of the Indian Peninsula are Hindus whose hearts have been full of hatred through history against Muslims.
Therefore India is the most important base for us to work against Pakistan.It is essential that we exploit this base India and strike Pakistan”.The politico military nexus between Israel and India have already tried such adventurism in the past.It is an established fact that both Israel and India are nuclear powers and are producing lethal weapons.The entire world is fully aware that every US and European government helps, supports and protects these countries.It is a fact that the armies of both Israel and India are killing innocent Palestinians and Kashmiris and are committing gross human rights violations and as is expected, the Governments of US and Europe and their bias print and powerful electronic media is myopic about it.Today again the Zionists, Israel and India altogether have started to fulfil their long awaited designs and desires.
Pakistan, which has remained in the past centre of regional wars, target of global conspiracies in collaboration with internal traitors and an attraction for big powers is under the attack of the terrorism, insurgencies by India and its national economy is being squeezed to force it to default and collapse by the Zionist and Israelis sitting in the loans giving international banks.In Middle East, the Zionist and the Israeli’s agencies have implanted a terrorist organization, so called ISIS, which is heavily armed and has full financial support.It is involved in breaking Muslim countries and has created terror in the region by killing innocent people, forcing them to leave their country and it is committing gross human rights violations.It is surprising to note that neither the ISIS leadership nor any of its member has ever uttered a word about or against Israel nor they have so far touched or harmed the soil of immediately located Israel.
The United Nation Security Council comprises five permanent members and each has the veto power.
They decide the fates and fortunes of the nations.The Security Council maintains global peace through their resolutions, sanctions and use of force.It is an established fact however that its resolutions on record particularly regarding the solutions of Kashmir and the Palestine issues have not been implemented till today.In case such injustices continue, atrocities do not stop, issues are not resolved, the day is not far when the united nation will break up or face its dissolution like the League of Nations and consequently its head quarter would be shifted to Beijing, China.It is true that man proposes and Almighty God disposes.The Islamic Republic of Pakistan had been created at the cost of the human blood of millions of muslims of India, therefore it will exist forever In shellaha.

Playing Ugly: All AliExpress Orders Being Blocked at Karachi Port

AliExpress, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, is one of the biggest online marketplaces in the world. Sellers from around the world and particularly China, use AliExpress as their base of online operations. The marketplace has gained popularity globally, thanks to its low prices, guaranteed shipping and refund policies. The shopping portal has also been gaining users in Pakistan for the past few years. Pakistani shoppers can get unique and rare items with ease, by ordering stuff from AliExpress. It is also cheaper than any local online store. Even e-commerce stores tend to import stuff using AliExpress as it offers a safe and easy method to buy items in bulk from China.

For the past few months we have been receiving complaints from our readers regarding AliExpress package shipping in Pakistan. Several readers have informed us that for the past two months or more, items ordered from AliExpress have failed to deliver. Whenever tracking information is available, the items get lost after they have arrived at the Karachi port.

All items ordered through AliExpress are handled by the shipping company of origin, until they reach Pakistan. Once packages reach Pakistan, they go through customs clearance. Customs officers have the authority to open the packages and repack them if there’s any doubt regarding the i:((tem’s description. The packages are then forwarded to Pakistan Post, which delivers the package to the buyer.

So far so good for this "flow chart" information !

It is precisely for this reason why Amazon, E-Bay and other in this business don't want to enter the "lucrative/ booming " Paki market

AliExpress sellers have been refunding the buyers for the time being, but if this continues any longer, we won’t be surprised if they stop shipping to Pakistan altogether. The online retailer could put Pakistan on its blacklist, or the sellers themselves might stop delivering to Pakistan.
This is unfair play and someone is guilty here. The forces behind this must be apprehended before Pakistan is shamed in front of the world yet again. It will not benefit the public, the customs, the e-commerce industry or the delivery service providers if such an instance happens and could fend off interest from international retailers like Amazon and Ebay.

So, the Chini-blothers too (taller than mountain fliends...) are taken for a ride. Shameless Pakis ! It is sincerely hoped that someone from E Bay or Amazon will read this report

An Arab Feminist Does A 360 On Pakistan
Pakistan criticised for censoring article about Muslim women and sex
Journalist Mona Eltahawy says decision to ban column reveals extent of state’s desire to control bodies bodies and mind of Muslim women

A feminist writer has criticised Pakistan for censoring an article on Muslim women and sex, saying the ban exposed the extent of the country’s discrimination against women.

The article was available online in Pakistan, but the newspaper version, which should have been published in the opinion section of the local Express Tribune, was replaced by a blank space.
Eltahawy told AFP that the decision to ban her article was an example of how Pakistan’s authorities think a woman “who claims ownership over her body is dangerous … and must be silenced”.
A senior source at the Express Tribune told AFP, on condition of anonymity, that the newspaper “can’t afford to publish such controversial articles about Islam”.

The Mullah/Islamic Brigade had recently warned Ganja Sharif to do away with the "nonsense" of making Pakiland a "liberal" society and reminded him that in Malsi there is no room for equal status for women. So, from that angle, the newspaper's refusal makes sense !

n the piece, Eltahawy discussed her decision to have sex before marriage – in defiance of her own upbringing and Muslim faith – and detailed many conversations with other women of Muslim and Arab descent suffering under the “sexual straitjacket” of virginity imposed on them by men.
“Where are the stories on women’s sexual frustrations and experiences?” she wrote. “My revolution has been to develop from a 29-year-old virgin to the 49-year-old woman who now declares, on any platform I get: it is I who own my body. Not the state, the mosque, the street or my family. And it is my right to have sex whenever, and with whomever, I choose.”

A Paki women recently did "share" her pre-marital sex experience on-line, but from the safe and secure environment of Massaland- her new home

Last week a teenage girl in the north-west of the country was strangled to death and set alight after a village council ruled she must be killed for helping a friend to elope.

Eltahawy said the censorship showed “a woman who disobeys and who openly claims sexual liberation and pleasure is dangerous and must be silenced” and cited a similar backlash faced by the Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy after her documentary about honour killings won an Academy Award.

Am pretty sure that this lady is on the hit-list of some Islami outfit; it is only a matter of time when she herself becomes Wajib-ul-cutlet or victim of a acid attack !

She said a recent trip to Lahore for a literary festival introduced her to “wonderful young feminists” who “keep my tenacious optimism intact”. “The more feminists such as the ones I met push, the greater the space they’ll create for everyone.”

No doubt that she must have been wined and dined plenty on her recent trip in the closed confines of the upper crust La- Whorites by no less than Maryam Sharif the poster-girl of the liberal gang. And she must have believed all the BS shelled out to her within those four walls. The Paki men and women are masters in this "art of entertainment" ! Reality is 100% different !

AliExpress sellers have been refunding the buyers for the time being, but if this continues any longer, we won’t be surprised if they stop shipping to Pakistan altogether. The online retailer could put Pakistan on its blacklist, or the sellers themselves might stop delivering to Pakistan.
This is unfair play and someone is guilty here. The forces behind this must be apprehended before Pakistan is shamed in front of the world yet again. It will not benefit the public, the customs, the e-commerce industry or the delivery service providers if such an instance happens and could fend off interest from international retailers like Amazon and Ebay.

So, the Chini-blothers too (taller than mountain fliends...) are taken for a ride. Shameless Pakis ! It is sincerely hoped that someone from E Bay or Amazon will read this report

we may gloat about what is happening in pakistan, but during my univ days when i sent shoes to my brother with the first cheque i made working in university cafeteria, only the box went to my home.

FIA grills two junior PAF officers over alleged cyber fraud

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched an investigation against two junior officers of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for being allegedly involved in cyber crime through a forex company, sources told Geo news on Tuesday.

A case has been lodged against GTI Forex Company after alleged complaints against the company were made for minting money by fooling the unsuspecting masses on the internet.

The FIA Islamabad had contacted the Pakistan Air Force after names of its two technicians, Sajjad Aslam and Sanaullah, came to fore during the investigation. The PAF then handed over the two officials to FIA’s investigation officer Gohar Ali.
A formal investigation against the suspects has now been launched, the sources added

The FIA investigators should go after the big sharks (civilians and non civilians e.g. Bad and Good Sharif, tycoon Riaz Malik, Iftikhar Chaudri's son to name a few !) and leave these small crooks alone !

Our people planned 26/11: ex-chief of ISI

Book by Pakistan’s ex-envoy to U.S. Husain Haqqani contains then-ISI chief Gen. Shuja Pasha’s ‘revelation’.

The planners of the 26/11 attacks were “our people” but it wasn’t “our operation”, the then-ISI chief Gen. Shuja Pasha had admitted shortly after the Mumbai attacks in 2008, says former Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S. Husain Haqqani. The revelation, which appears in a forthcoming book on India-Pakistan relations, recounts the visit by General Pasha to Washington on December 24-25, 2008, where he made the startling admission.

At the end of his meetings with his CIA counterpart Gen. Michael Hayden, General Pasha had reportedly visited Mr. Haqqani at the ambassador’s residence. “Pasha said to me ‘Log hamaray thay, operation hamara nahin thha’,” Mr. Haqqani writes in the book — India vs Pakistan: Why Can’t We Just Be Friends?

Speaking to The Hindu over the telephone from Washington, Mr. Haqqani said Gen. Pasha had also told Gen. Hayden that “retired military officers and retired intelligence officers” had been involved in the planning of the attacks.

The conversation between the chiefs of the ISI and CIA has been recounted in three books earlier — by then U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice in her memoirs, Bob Woodward in his book “Obama Wars” and earlier this year by Gen. Hayden himself in his autobiography, Playing to The Edge. However, this is the first time Gen. Pasha’s words corroborating the ISI link have been recorded by a Pakistani official.
No prosecution

According to Mr. Haqqani, the link was confirmed by the fact that Pakistan’s government never prosecuted the accused.

“The fact that we never pursued the case against the accused [officers] in the 26/11 case despite all the evidence that had been provided: not just by India, but by the U.S., by the American NSA including intercepts of conversations during the attacks, that pointed a finger at us, at the Pakistan government,” he said.

According to Mr. Haqqani, who faced charges of treason in Pakistan in 2011 after the military accused him of writing a “Memo” to the U.S. government on the Osama Bin Laden killing, the Army’s denial of any link to the 26/11 attacks was of a piece with their stand on other strikes “all the way from the 1980s to Dawood Ibrahim.”

X Posted from the Pakistani Role In Global Terrorism thread.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s links to Mohammadden Terrorism persists. Afghan authorities at their Torkham border crossing find truck from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan attempting to smuggle in Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer that is used for making IED’s along with fruits.

I wonder if the fruits were mango’s?

KABUL, Afghanistan — A truck carrying nearly 11 tons of a bomb-making chemical has been intercepted at the border with Pakistan, Afghanistan's government announced Tuesday.

The 10.7 tons of ammonium nitrate was hidden under fruit crates in a truck from Pakistan, Interior Ministry Spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told NBC News.

From here:

Eleven Tons of Ammonium Nitrate Seized at Afghan-Pakistan Border

[SSridhar]

Eleven Tons of Ammonium Nitrate Seized at Afghan-Pakistan Border

That's a big haul.

Ammonium Nitrate has roughly 50% explosive power of TNT.

The Khobar Towers bombing in Dhahran in 1996 used up 2,300 kg of explosives (gasoline & explosives equivalent to 9 Tonnes of TNT) according to Wiki.

The Dar-es-Salaam & Nairobi US Emassy bombings were each 900 Kg devices (Wiki) of TNT & ammonium nitrate.

In the Marriott, Islamabad bombing 600 kg of RDX was mixed with TNT (RDX has apprx 1.3 times explosive power as TNT).

Oaklahoma bombing was less than 2000 Kgs of ammonium nitrate.

Now, Pakistan might have sent in this 11 Tonne ammonium nitrate consignment for one of two purposes: one, a large number of small IEDs or one large device for a significant building. In any case, a big, bloody battle is about to be waged between PA/ISI and ANA very soon.

[Aditya_V]

Or could this Ammonium Nitrate be meant for Afgan- IRAn and then India?

[SSridhar]

Or could this Ammonium Nitrate be meant for Afgan- IRAN and then India?

That's rather circuitous and not needed. Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidizer. It still needs an explosive like Fuel Oil or others along with detonators to trigger an explosion. All these are available in India in plenty. For example, India manufactures almost 1 million Metric Tonnes of ammonium nitrate p.a. It also imports from other countries.

OTOH, the wayside IED explosive devices that the Afghans are using all over the country (a country which does not have access to ammonium nitrate) and the upsurge in violence after the new spring offensive demands large quantities of this chemical and the only source is Pakistan!

Pakistan Exports To India May Reach $ 1. Billion ; "Pakistan cannot offer trade concessions to India unilaterally" - Commerce Minister Dastgir

IMO India should start adopting( trade and other ) policies where it hurts the Paki traders in their pocket and make a conscious effort to source agricultural and other products from third parties and reduce imports from Pakistan (but still not violating WTO rules ) by setting target reductions ; also Paki origin products entry via Dubai, smuggling and other such tactics should be severely punished. As disclosed recently,(from Panama leaks ) most of the proceeds are siphoned off to off-shore accounts anyway so the Aam Abduls are not in any way being affected . The "trader lobby" should be convinced to do this sacrifice for the long term benefit of the country !

COAS inquires on PM’s health ahead of security meeting

Gen Raheel also inquired on the prime minister’s health, said the sources, adding that PM Nawaz apprised the army chief of his recent medical checkup in London.

Later, DG Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Chief Minister Punjab, Federal Interior Minister and Federal Finance Minister joined the meeting that, according to the sources, lasted for 45 minutes.

So, Raheel is practicing the "good cop" "bad cop" scenario on Badmash !
There must have been a marked improvement in Ganja's medical situation because :

PM Nawaz leaves for Tajikistan to attend CASA-1000 inauguration

Should not Ganja's local and foreign medical advisors advice him complete bed rest and put him on a strict regimen of healthy food (no nihari or haleem !) plus cutting down on "non essential travel" so he can faithfully serve the Aam Abduls of Pakiland !

Now that we have a Muslim mayor of London, perhaps it’s time Pakistanis elected a Hindu mayor of Islamabad
London’s new mayor is no Islamist

he hashtag #LondonHasFallen on Twitter last week had nothing to do with the American action film thriller of the same name, in which a Pakistani arms dealer and terrorist leader is discovered to be the mastermind behind several terrorist attacks around the world.
No, this time it wasn’t fiction, but reality.
On Saturday, Sadiq Khan, 45, the son of a Pakistani bus driver, was elected as the first Muslim mayor of London, defeating Zac Goldsmith, the Jewish son of a billionaire.
And that, to many on the lunatic right, meant Muslims had succeeded where Hitler had failed.

It didn’t help Khan that within hours of his victory some in his ancestral home of Pakistan celebrated his win with a banner that read:
“Heartiest congratulation (sic) to Sadiq Khan, 1st Muslim mayor of London who defeated Millionaire Jew Zec (sic) Goldsmith.”

In contrast to these Islamic supremacists, leading human rights activist Khurrum Zaki posted the following barely two hours after the new London mayor’s victory. Sadly, it would be his last message on Facebook:
“Sadiq Khan is not a Pakistani. He is a Britisher (sic). Credit for his rise and success goes to his own hard work and the equal opportunity quality of the British system. Pakistan and Islam have played no role in his meteoric rise. … I am celebrating the greatness of Western Secular Democracy. London has risen above discrimination and bigotry and emerged as a great centre of human civilization setting a great example for the world."
Tragically, questioning Islam and Pakistan in any way inside Pakistan is asking for trouble. Within hours of posting his reaction to the London election on social media, Zaki was shot dead while sipping tea at a roadside restaurant in Karachi.

Is not the first killing and probably won't be the last either !

One Muslim in Great Britain who knows Mayor Khan well is Maajid Nawaaz. On Sunday he wrote in in the Daily Beast:
“Sadiq Khan is no Muslim extremist. And it is not only his track record voting for gay rights that proves this. Having known him when I was a Muslim extremist, I know he did not subscribe to my then-theocratic views.”

Now that we have a Muslim mayor of London, perhaps it’s time Pakistanis elected a Hindu mayor of Islamabad and Arabs chose a Jew to be mayor of Baghdad.

Don't think it will happen in our lifetime !

After offering fateha for Zarqawi & osama bin Laden, Pakistani parliamentarians offer fateha for the genocidal Al Badr chief hanged in Dhaka.

Lawmakers offer prayers for Bangladesh’s hanged leader - DT

The National Assembly on Wednesday offered prayers (Fateha) for the departed soul of a Jamaat e Islami (JI) of Bangladesh leader Mattiur Rehman who was hanged to death last night in Dhaka for being pro-Pakistan in 1971 war.

Speaking on the occasion, JI Parliamentary Leader Sahibzada Tariqullah said that six people have been sentenced to death so far in Bangladesh, which he said was an inhuman act {Pakistan hanged 17 in one day alone in April 2015!!} and we strongly condemned it. He said the people who demonstrated loyalty with united Pakistan in 1971 war were being treated brutally.

He said it was injustice and unbearable act and a resolution should be adopted unanimously in the house to condemn it. Tariqullah said thousands of people are still in Bangladeshi jails for the same act, saying the foreign office should summon the High Commissioner of Bangladesh and record protest.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aijaz Jakhrani termed it a sad incident and said the JI leaders were being punished for their loyalty with Pakistan. Shaista Pervaiz Malik said it was violation of an agreement signed in 1974 between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the house should pass a resolution against this act as this was violation of 1974 agreement. {What sort of a foreign minister was he? The hanged guy is a Bangladeshi, not a Pakistani and the 1974 agreement therefore has nothing to do with this hanging} Mehmood Khan Achakzai suggested that a parliamentary delegation should visit Bangladesh to persuade the above mentioned government to stop the series of killing of people who showed loyalty to Pakistan.

National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq observed that he would arrange meeting of senior parliamentarians with officials of the Foreign Office in this regard.

Bangladesh should break-off diplomatic relationship with Pakistan.
