Terror arrests 'point at Pakistan' after angry wife leads Indian police to group

NEW DELHI // The capture of six alleged members of a terrorist cell this week has provided further evidence of Pakistani involvement in a series of recent bomb attacks across India.

One of those captured, Muhammad Adil, 40, is from Karachi and told investigators he was trained by Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based militant organisation.

He is the first Pakistani to be linked to the Indian Mujahideen, and undermines claims from Pakistan that the perpetrators are entirely "home-grown" Indians.

Pakistani militant groups, including the Lashkar-i-Taiba and Harkat-ul-Jihad-Al-Islami, were also involved in the Karachi Project. The relocation of the Indian Mujahideen's leadership to Pakistan marked a new stage in the group's strategy. The group no longer issues emails claiming responsibility - a tactic which is thought to have helped investigators track them down in 2008.

"The old strategy of close-knit cells planning and carrying out these attacks within India is no longer viable," said Ajai Sahni, of the Institute for Conflict Management in New Delhi. "The focus now is on survival. The militants are waiting to see what happens in Afghanistan - till then, they just need to stay alive to keep money and recruits coming in."

Jubair Ahmad, subject of two FBI investigations, is expected to enter a plea bargain today on charges he lent assistance in producing an Internet video for a Pakistani terrorist group, Lashkar-e Taiba. Mr. Ahmad is charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist group. Lashkar –e- Taiba (LeT) has ties to both Chicago and Virginia.

The charges were announced by Neil MacBride, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Lisa Monaco, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; and James McJunkin, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Office. If convicted, Mr. Ahmad faces a maximum potential sentence of 15 years in prison on the material support charge and eight years in prison for making false statements in a terrorism investigation.(FBI Criminal Defense Lawyers, 12/2/11)

Disbanding the TSPA without a overt public defeat in order to give them the fig leafof haveing foaught and lost will lead to resentment and sabotage. When the Ottomons defeated the Egyptian Mamlukes using muskets they were able to enforce their writ. Or see how post Saddam Iraq became a mess? The Iraqi army was allowed to demobilze and carry on.

Establish the baseline

So, steps have to be taken to review relations. However, the many Pakistanis who want a direct military response to the US need to understand two things.

One, in an asymmetric relationship, the weaker side should not go for a direct response. It makes no sense to play on a pitch that favours the stronger side. The trick is to find the space between inaction and direct action and to reduce the possibility of coercion by the stronger side without compromising on one’s strategic concerns.

LONDON -- British police say 22 people have been arrested outside of the U.S. Embassy in London during a protest over the American use of drones in Pakistan.
cotland Yard confirmed the arrests Friday at the demonstration, organized by a group calling itself "United Ummah."Police said 20 people were arrested on suspicion of being members of a group banned by the Home Office. It would not say what group it believed the suspects belong to. One other person was arrested for violent disorder and another for obstruction."United Ummah" does not appear on the Home Office's list of banned groups, but prescribed organizations have rebranded themselves in the past after they were featured.The demonstration was advertised online -- on YouTube, Twitter and various forums -- and in a publicity video as a gathering to expose "the recent spate of anti-Muslim drone strikes that have been launched by the U.S. government against innocent Muslims."U.S. and Pakistan diplomatic relations hit a new low following U.S.-led NATO strikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last week, with officials from both countries offering different accounts of how two Pakistan army posts were attacked before dawn Saturday.According to U.S. military records described to The Associated Press, the incident occurred when a joint U.S. and Afghan patrol requested backup after being attacked by Taliban militants.Before responding, the patrol first checked with the Pakistani army, which reported it had no troops in the area, the account said.Pakistani officials have refuted this claim and said U.S. forces must have known they were attacking Pakistani soldiers because the posts were clearly marked on maps given to NATO and the two sides were in contact immediately before and during the airstrikes

LONDON: Nato commanders are planning a substantial offensive in eastern Afghanistan aimed at insurgent groups based in Pakistan, involving an escalation of aerial attacks on insurgent sanctuaries, and have not ruled out cross-border raids with ground troops, The Guardian newspaper reported on Friday.The aim of offensive over next two years is to reduce threat represented by Pakistan-based groups loyal to insurgent leaders like Haqqani clan, Mullah Nazir & Hafiz Gul Bahadur.Nato hopes to reduce level of attacks in the eastern provinces clustered around Kabul to the point where they could be contained by Afghan security forces after transition in 2014. The move is likely to add to already tense atmosphere following recent border post attack by Nato helicopters that resulted in death of 24 Pakistani soldiers.While drawing down forces in Helmand & Kandahar, the US will step up its presence in eastern provinces bordering Pakistan, bringing long-festering issue of insurgent sanctuaries in Pakistan tribal areas to a head. Message being given to Pakistan military is that if it cannot or will not eliminate insurgent havens, US forces will attempt job themselves, report said.It is unclear to what extent killing of 24 Pakistan soldiers in Nato air strikes last Saturday will have on Nato strategy. An investigation is underway into the incident. As a consequence, Pakistan closed supply routes used by Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and barred the US from using a Pakistani air base to launch drones.Isaf commander, General John Allen, said the need to confront sanctuaries in Pakistan was “one of the reasons we are shifting our operations to the east”.In an interview in Kabul, Allen, a US marine, did not give specifics of strategy and said nothing about cross-border operations.
According to The Guardian, Allen said he did not know what long-term consequences ( He is talking in Punjabi) of last Saturday’s clash would be, describing it as a “tragedy”, but made clear that push to the east would continue. (Abb Tera kya Hogga Kayani, Wazibul Qadri yaa oomar bhar ki Ghulami)“Ultimately outcome we hope to achieve in the east is a reduction of insurgent networks to the point where Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) can handle them, reducing them in 2012, if necessary going after them in 2013,” Allen said.“I won’t go into specifics of operations but as we consolidate our holdings in the south and as population centers there in Helmand River valley and in (Kandahar,) we will conduct substantial operations in the east idea being to expand security zone around Kabul. In particular we are going to pay lot of attention to south of Kabul, Wardak, Logar, Ghazni, Zabul.Because in the end if you have a population in the south that feels secure and it’s secured by ANSF, and you have a population in east and around centre of gravity of Kabul, and those two are connected by a road so you have freedom of movement, you have a pretty good outcome

For years, the Supreme Court egged on the Centre to expedite deportation of hundreds of Pakistani prisoners languishing in Indian jails even after completion of their prison term, but on Friday it was pleasantly surprised to learn that many did not want to go back.

Filing a comprehensive status report on Pakistani prisoners in India, the ministry of external affairs told a bench of Justices R M Lodha and H L Gokhale that as many as 53 Pakistani prisoners had challenged their deportation order before the Delhi High Court.

Additional solicitor general Parag Tripathi said out of 262 foreign prisoners, deportation orders were issued to 238 while four had escaped from detention. Only 20 such prisoners remained to be repatriated, he added. The MEA status report indicated that the 53 Pakistani prisoners were demanding political asylum requesting that they be treated as refugees.

Laura Wilson, 17, had been tracked by social services since 2005 after she was identified as being 'at risk' of sexual exploitation by British Pakistani men.

After being informed of the relationship, Asghar's mother apparently hit Laura with a shoe. she said her son would never have a baby with a white girl and called Laura a 'dirty white b****', and she should 'keep her legs closed'.

In one message, Asghar said to Hussain the day before she died which read: 'I'm gonna send that kaffir (non-Muslim) b**** straight to hell'.
