Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Express TV Interview …………………..
Q.: (Laughs.) All right. One, of course, important point that you told a congressional hearing last month that Islamabad retained its links with the militants because it doubted America's will to remain in the country long enough to win the war. Could you elaborate on that? What kind of links do you think Islamabad has with the militants?
SEC. GATES: Well, I think that it's not exactly a secret in part because I was here as a part of that program 25 years ago that, frankly, we all had links with various groups that are now a problem for us today, and some have maintained those links longer than others. I think that -- I think what's important is the partnership that we have with Pakistan. I met with General Kayani. I met with the military leadership of the country today, and I'm very comfortable with the partnership that we have going forward in dealing with this common extremist threat.
Q.: But last month when you said Islamabad had links with militants, whom in Islambad -- were you referring to the government or to private or to the military? I mean, it's --
SEC. GATES: Well, I -- since we're obviously talking about intelligence sources, I'd rather not be specific.
Q.: Okay. But do you still believe that?
SEC. GATES: I think I would just like to leave it that I have confidence that the Pakistani government understands our concerns and understands that we face a common threat.

Counter-terrorism police say their discovery of a film of children being encouraged to hold guns is evidence of attempts to radicalise youngsters.
The Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) in North West England revealed they found the film during a raid in Manchester.
Officers say it shows two children, aged about three and six, playing with a pistol and a Kalashnikov rifle.
Material seized separately included the advice: "No child is ever too young to be started off on Jihad training."
The footage, which police believe was filmed in Pakistan, was uncovered on the hard drive of a computer during a raid carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000. Police have not revealed when the material was seized. ……………….

Prince Ahmed, who was conferred the medal of Commander of the International Order of Civil Defence here on Saturday night, said, “The attack on Prince Mohammed has not deterred our resolve.

Pakistani built bomb to kill Prince, says Yemeni official
By Abdullah Al-Oraifij
ABYAN, Yemen – Dramatic new claims have been made that a Pakistani explosives expert was responsible for manufacturing the bomb that was used by a suicide bomber in a failed attempt to assassinate Prince Muhammad Bin Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Assistant Interior Minister for Security Affairs at his palace in Jeddah last August.
Talking to Okaz, Ahmad Al-Maseeri, Governor of Abyan in Yemen, said that the man who made the explosive capsule, used by Abdullah Hasan Al-Asiri in his attempt to kill the Prince, was a Pakistani.
The Pakistani expert was killed sometime last year, after being blown up by his own explosive device, said Al-Maseeri.
Al-Maseeri claimed that the man had trained many members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula on ways to build and detonate explosive devices. “The Pakistani expert was highly skilled in making explosive devices and had been teaching and training some individuals in Al-Qaeda on how to make and use explosives.” ………………………..

Suspected Taliban agent arrested in Seoul: media
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/w ... 179836.htmSEOUL, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- A Pakistani man who claimed to be an agent of the armed insurgent group Taliban has been caught by local police, raising concern here over the country's immigration control, local media reported Friday.
The Pakistani, whose name has not been revealed, was arrested for violating the immigration control law by making illegal entry and exit 17 times over five years while carrying another Pakistani national's passport, according to Yonhap News Agency.
He is said to have told the police that he came to South Korea to gather information on U.S. military bases here at the instruction of Taliban leaders, and that he posed as a Muslim cleric.
His claims have yet to be proven, but local media here say the case, if confirmed, raises serious security concerns ahead of the G20 summit among the world's major economies, to which South Korea plays host.

Note the frequent visits. Like a Headley. False passport, target reconnaissance.
The Pakistani is suspected of having gathered information on key military installations, including U.S. military posts, apparently to prepare a terror attack during the G-20 Summit scheduled for November in Seoul.
This is the first time that a terrorist suspect has been arrested here as the country has only encountered drug trafficking groups linked to the Taliban attempting to raise cash for the insurgents so far.
Investigators speculate that this case was quite different, alleging the suspect appeared to be trying to form a ``Korea-based’’ terrorist network.
During multiple visits to and from Korea, he allegedly took pictures of the U.S. Forces Korea headquarters in Seoul and collected information on military facilities, which he handed over to the Taliban leadership.
The suspect first came to Seoul in 2001 using a false passport, but was deported in June 2003 by the Immigration Service, according to authorities.
However, he returned within two months, using a new name and passport, with his wife, two sons and four daughters.
Since then, he had acted as an Imam at the Muslim mosque here and a community leader.
They added that he is suspected of having trained some 30 students to participate in Jihad (struggle) and Shahadat (martyrdom) at the behest of the Taliban.
He was placed under police surveillance from February last year when he was thought to be involved in smuggling chemicals out of Seoul to Pakistan. At that time, he denied any involvement with Taliban insurgents and was released after police failed to secure sufficient evidence.
To deal with possible security threats to the G-20 Summit, the National Police Agency has set up a 109-member special task force. The international event will see leaders from the world’s 20 major economies gathered here to discuss issues vital to the global economic recovery.

Commander Mohammad Sohel of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) said the five, aged between 26 and 30, were members of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based militant group blamed for terrorist attacks in India.
“They were picked up from a market in the capital Dhaka. The Pakistani citizen and four Bangladeshis have admitted of being the members of Jaish-e-Mohammad and they were planning attacks in the country,” he said.
One of the four Bangladeshis has served ten years in prison in India, he added.

“We got to make a deal with Pakistan because I’m convinced that he’s [bin Laden] protected by the ISI,” Tanner says.
Tanner says that rogue elements within the ISI - if not the Pakistani government – may be using bin Laden as a “trump card” to exert leverage over the United States. Tanner says that Pakistani leaders are concerned that the U.S. will draw closer to India, Pakistan’s chief rival.
Flashing the bin Laden trump card will insure that the U.S. will continue to send aid to Pakistan because it considers it a bulwark against radical Islam, Tanner says. Without the bin Laden trump card, though, Pakistan would be in danger of being abandoned by the U.S., Tanner says.

Re: Pakistani Role in Global Terrorism
This incident speaks volumes about the prevailing ambivalence in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan towards Islam inspired terrorism and terrorists.
The Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan thinks nothing about extending condolences for the death of a cleric belonging to the banned Islamic organization, the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) which specialised in killing fellow Muslims of the Shia / Shiite sect:
Gilani condoles demise of Maulana Ghafoor
This is not the only demonstration of ambivalence regards Islam inspired terrorism and terrorists by those holding leadership positions in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan nor is this ambivalence restricted to the PPP political party.
Over the last fortnight there have been reports that Punjab province Law Minister Rana Sanaullah who belongs to the PML(N) political party has also been consorting with the banned Sipah e Sahaba Pakistan ( Sanaullahs links with banned outfit leader surfaced).
Seems to me that anything or any body that carries a stamp of Islam is entitled to the highest degree of consideration in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan with the Islam stamp sufficient to wash away the taint of even the most egregious of crimes.

Re: Pakistani Role in Global Terrorism
The Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) may be a UN designated terrorist organization and consequently on paper a banned organization in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Yet the Jihadi Islamic terrorist supporting policies of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan means that the LeT has no need to operate clandestinely. Rather these Jihadi Islamic terrorist supporting policies of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan means that the LeT has the ability to hold public rallies and call for Jihad without fear of molestation by the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

It should thus come as no surprise that members of the Jihadi Islamic terrorist outfit Al-Takfir wa al-Hijra operating in the Tatarstan region of Russia opted to get their terrorist training in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:

Kazan, March 29, Interfax ………………….
The investigation determined that one of the four Tatarstan residents belonging to the group traveled to Pakistan in May 2006 to undergo combat training at Bulgar Jamaat in the province of Northern Waziristan. The man returned to Russia in 2008.
Another member of the group traveled to Pakistan in July-December 2008 to undergo similar training.
The third man left for Pakistan in the fall of 2006 but was detained in the city of Quetta and put into prison by local law enforcement agencies, where he fell under the influence of a Al-Takfir wa al-Hijra preacher. …………

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants on the Afghan-Pakistan border may have helped organize the attacks.
Some Russian officials have said North Caucasus insurgents have ties to al Qaeda whose leaders are thought to be in hiding along the Pakistan border, but many analysts dispute any link.
Asked if there could have been any foreign involvement in Monday's attacks, Lavrov did not mention any group by name, but Interfax quoted him as replying: "I do not exclude that."

In South Korea yet more citizens of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan under investigation for links to the Pakistani national pastime of jihadi Islamic terrorism:hulaku wrote:Suspected Taliban agent arrested in Seoul: media
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/w ... 179836.htmSEOUL, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- A Pakistani man who claimed to be an agent of the armed insurgent group Taliban has been caught by local police, raising concern here over the country's immigration control, local media reported Friday.
The Pakistani, whose name has not been revealed, was arrested for violating the immigration control law by making illegal entry and exit 17 times over five years while carrying another Pakistani national's passport, according to Yonhap News Agency.
He is said to have told the police that he came to South Korea to gather information on U.S. military bases here at the instruction of Taliban leaders, and that he posed as a Muslim cleric.
His claims have yet to be proven, but local media here say the case, if confirmed, raises serious security concerns ahead of the G20 summit among the world's major economies, to which South Korea plays host.
Officials in charge of the case were not immediately reachable.
