Govt denied to issue warrants to US agents involved in distribution of weapons, says ISI Officer

A second secretary of US consulate, namely Bob, resided in 7/4 sector of Islamabad. Our regular monitoring team reported us that in the later part of night, many Maliks and Khans used to come to meet Bob at his place in their expensive cars on daily basis. This report was even more important for us because of the fact that Bob's name was neither present in the ISI's list of contact officers in relation to Afghanistan, nor was he related to the anti-narcotics squad. For this reason, Bob had become a mysterious person for us. Neither did he have a wife nor children. He used to live alone in the bungalow. Moreover it was noticed that he frequently used to go out of the country. Two factors were critical in this case. Firstly the Afghan war. Ever since the war of resistance had started in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, the US had a dire wish to gain control of the war and subsequently render ISI's role as that of a 12th player. American diplomats always tried to meet the Afghan leaders first hand or used ISI as a ladder to reach Afghan leaders and wanted to give aid and funds to those Afghan leaders directly in order to keep them overwhelmed. ISI had to do special covert planning in order to keep US from these designs. Fulfilling this wish of America meant letting her hijack the entire Afghan resistance.
Actually, the US wanted to take control of the Afghan resistance so that it could be easy to later plant a government in Kabul which would have been secular in totality. When Russian forces entered Afghanistan, we reported to the then President of Pakistan immediately. When he talked to America about the very matter, they were reluctant to accept it. It was impossible near them. But on the 3rd day when Afghan refugees began to move to Islamabad, Americans came to 'know' about Soviet occupation on Afghanistan. We are sure that Americans did know about the Russian invasion on Afghanistan beforehand but wanted to give us an impression as if this was unexpected for them. Arrival of Russian armed forces in Afghanistan was undoubtedly a part of American great game. There's a need to have a detailed analysis of the negative role of US in this war as she tried to distort the shape of Afghan resistance (Jihad) and also endeavored to sabotage the role of ISI. (A separate books need to be written on this issue.)
Second element was drugs. This is no hidden secret now that drugs played a vital role in forming the foreign policy of America. Very cleverly they used drugs as a weapon to destroy our cultural and moral values. We had reports that DLO Officers from America, Canada and other Western countries' consulates had instead established their own supremacy and loitered in every part of Pakistan without the permission of our interior ministry. They had deployed a huge network of spies all around, who spied and gathered information freely which had no link to anti-drug. In order to achieve their heinous goals, they carried practices of blackmailing to giving heavy bribes and worked against Pakistan freely.
International dealers of drugs were planned to be apprehended by a method in which a selected 'carrier' would be sent out with a small amount of drugs and later the entire gang of drug dealers would be caught with the help of America and Europe. But the officers responsible for dealing with the anti-narcotics kept sending big amounts of drugs with the carriers instead of smaller ones. Moreover they them self kept light a hand on drugs and took their desired amount whenever they felt like. In this way they played a sinister game and celebrated international monopoly on drugs. Our helplessness was so pitiable that none of the agency was allowed to check the 'carriers'.
A very major part of the American aid being used in the sacred Afghanistan war comprised of the amount which came from the sales of drugs on international level. America was using paid agents to promote use of drugs in Pakistan through this money. Under the umbrella of these activities, US plotted a sinister game of deploying heroine in every corner of Pakistan and this is a crystal clear evidence of America's 'deep friendship' and 'heart-felt sympathies' towards Pakistan. In 1979-80 America started Pakistani aid in order to control narcotics when poppy plant was harvested on a very scanty scale. Poor farmers grew this plant on a domestic scale to fulfill the needs of their area. But under the facade of this aid, through Bureau of International Narcotics, US covertly started providing the harvesters with latest technology, facilities, pesticides, fertilizers etc plus giving them giant amounts of 'white' and 'brown' gold in order to help increase the yield of 'Poppy plant'. US used secret agents for this task.
Currently in local and international market, tens of thousands of 'noble' men are indulged in the trade of drugs and in Pakistan alone, the number of people addicted to drugs has exceeded 30k.
Doctors say that drugs can be used as a healer and comforter against pains and sorrows. That's why it is named as 'atom for comfort'. It is pathetic that due to the defective policies of Drug enforcement Agency and negative American planning, we could never utilize the God gifted nature in a productive way. Although it is the same beneficial plant which can be used to attain healthy elements like morphine, codeine, dopipanone etc instead of producing heroine. Had we been yielding these elements from poppy plant, Pakistan could have earned exchange worth thousands of dollars per anum through its trade in global market of medicine. We would have not needed to take loans from IMF and World Bank. But the dream of prosperity and happiness of Pakistani nation could never be fulfilled due to the courtesy of external and internal 'well-wishers'.
Anyhow after receiving those reports about Bob, even though we took him into close scrutiny yet our accomplices couldn't gather any beneficial information about Bob except noting the number plates of the cars that used to come and go frequently to his house and Bob's visits. At last, we decided to deploy spying equipments inside Bob's house secretly to track his conversations. Although this decision was quite sensitive and critical in nature and could put us at stake, however we vowed to take this risk.
Thereupon when Bob was at his office one day, one of our men entered his house very cleverly. He was utterly dumbfounded when he came to see extremely valuable and latest rifles, guns, pistols and cameras present in the closets of his bedroom and side rooms. In one of his bathrooms an active wireless set was fixed. He also found a wallet under Bob's pillow which might be forgotten there in haste. In this wallet was kept his CIA's identity card. Our team mate took snaps of the entire house and captured the snaps of his ID card too and kept it in its place safely. He then fixed the Spying equipment secretly and returned silently.
Now the question arose whether all this artillery & equipment were collected in connection to anti-narcotics & drugs or whether Bob himself was involved in trade of ammunition. We had no answer to this question but one thing was for sure. Bob was involved in some illegitimate activity. We compiled a detailed report constituting the snaps as evidences and forwarded to General Zia, urging him to deport Bob on basis of an unwanted/disliked person. After a span of few days, we received a response that President of Pakistan discussed the issue with foreign office and our foreign office wants us to let go of the issue. At present, there are many "Bobs" working in Pakistan and we can not kick out each one of them because we can not afford displeasing America at the moment. Therefore it is demanded that ISI need not waste its time on Bob. Our DG ISI General Akhter Abdur Rehman's reaction to this answer was appreciable. At no cost did he want to close his eyes at the suggestion of foreign office. For many days we exchanged thoughts on this issue, many strategies were discussed. At last General said, "Keeping this confidential that we are proceeding with this issue, do whatever you wish to, but be very cautious of being caught at any stage."
After this command of General, we devised a detailed plan and demonstrated to him which was then approved. That plan was as follows:
At the backside of Bob's bungalow was situated an unpopulated, deserted small piece of land which had grown several wild bushes and plants. Many such vacant plots are present in Islamabad. According to our plan, we dug a deep trench on the vacant plot until it met the outer wall of Bob's house and covered it with grass and bushes. We informed the local police that we have noticed suspicious men loitering on the streets of Islamabad in the darkness of night. We suspect a gang of terrorists planning a major assault. Additionally we informed the police that we suspect guns and ammunition being used in assaults are hidden around. We tasked one of our team equipped team members to stay with the police and come along with the police at the place of occurrence on our call.
Meanwhile, we would keep an eye on Bob's movements. Suddenly one day he flew off Pakistan and our plan came to hold. When he returned to Pakistan, day and timing of the project were finalized. In final stages of our plan, acting team members were deployed on their corresponding places. ISI agents first of all collected all the guns and ammunition silently and piled up in the trench. Bob left his office and moved towards his house as in routine. We gave an indication to proceed to the police. The concerned ISI officer reached the spot of occurrence in the presence of police force. When police reached the trench, it made the entire area attentive with the noise of its alarms. In the meanwhile, Bob had also reached his home and parked his car in the garage. On seeing all this noise in the backyard of his house, he showed up to inquire about the scene. The unexpected backdrop span his head. Police had been collecting all the artillery from the backside of his house. Duty Magistrate had even started forming a list of all the ammunition. On looking his cameras and ammunition lying around, Bob turned pale but entered his home quietly.
On this issue it was sufficient to shut US consulate's mouth. Therefore in next two days Bob had left Pakistan.
Our next victim was a teacher of American International School Islamabad, named Regan Cleig. He not only did trade of weaponry but had also established a workshop in his house. Dealing with Cleig was not difficult for us. Because of the sole reason that he was not a diplomat. We caught him through a common plan and compelled him to pack up his business and clean Pakistan from his dirty existence. But the fact is that there are so many 'Bobs' and 'Cleigs' in every corner of Pakistan that it is practically not possible for any agency to screw them off and clean Pakistan from them. Pakistan's protection is the sole duty of every Pakistani. It is vital to notify every Bob and Cleig around you and report the suspect to a responsible agency in order to wipe of the enemy agents from our beautiful land. Attraction of a few dollars may shake many feet and the internal evil might persuade you for traitorship... But alas! May we never be sold out to these traders of death!

Memogate: Forensic Reports of Mansoor Ijaz's Laptop, Blackberry prove Haqqani guilty

The three-member commission resumed hearing on Friday at the Islamabad High Court. Raja Jawad, the secretary of judicial commission which is mandated to probe the memogate, recorded his statement under oath along with a forensic report of Mansoor Ijaz' Blackberry handset. Raja Jawad said ten companies were contacted to carry out forensic test of Mansoor Ijaz' blackberry sets and laptops, adding that suitable forensic experts were hired to conduct examination, following evaluation of quality standards and ‘the price to hire services’.
He added that only he and the experts were present during forensic inspection, which lasted for eight hours. Mansoor Ijaz had requested to keep record of his blackberry handsets and laptop secret. “We did not break his trust", Raja Jawad told the commission. On Friday, Zahid Hussain Bokhari, the counsel for obvious traitor Hussain Haqqani, did not appear before the commission. Barrister Akram Sheikh, while quoting some media reports, told the judicial panel that Zahid had refused to appear before the commission. It prompted Justice Qazi Faez Essa to remark that the commission did not believe in media reports; however, Bokhari did not give any application to the commission on the subject.
"Zahid Bokhari has not formally informed the commission about not appearing before the commission. We cannot trust the media reports in this regard." Raja Jawad said both Mansoor Ijaz and Husain Haqqani had been notified of the forensic examination, adding that he had issued ordered for in-camera hearing likely to be held after arrival of the foreign secretary, pertaining to the usage of secret funds by Haqqani during his tenure as ambassador to the USZ. During the proceedings, Barrister Zafarullah requested the commission to finalise the report. "The commission is in possession of enough record and it should finalise its report now."

He said Akram Sheikh had admitted that Husain Haqqani was suing Mansoor Ijaz in a USZ court. “Let the case be decided in the USZ court.” Earlier, the judicial commission issued orders for conducting forensic tests on Mansoor Ijaz’ BlackBerry phone in London. Secretary for the memo commission Raja Jawad Abbas had been directed to go to London in this regard. Zahid Bokhari summed up his arguments where he told the court that Ijaz was of “dubious character” and had not been able to back up his statements with proof. Mansoor Ijaz, through his counsel had said that he was ready to present his BlackBerry handset and computer to the secretary of the commission for inspection; however, any inspection would take place in London.
The commission concluded its proceedings after hearing final arguments from Advocate Bukhari, Advocate Akram Sheikh, Advocate Naseer Bhutta and deputy attorney general Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri on Friday. Advocate Bukhari strongly objected to the commission’s proposal for forensic verification on Friday and said no evidence could be ascertained once the arguments were complete. Bukhari argued before the commission that the commission was trying to penalise his client at any cost. When asked why the Pakistan’s former ambassador had relations with a man of doubtful character, Advocate Bukhari submitted that an ambassador was duty bound to watch his country’s interests. “In the line of his duty, he also meets with some notorious people”, Bukhari said.
The commission said Haqqani had been having relationships with Ijaz not during his three and a half years tenure as an ambassador but he was having relations with him for the last 10 years much prior to his appointment as an ambassador.

Hitting Pakistan's Ideology is an attempt to Weaken Pakistan: General Kayani

| COAS Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani |
The military’s top man spoke high about Pakistan’s ideology saying, “We as nation can only succeed if we have full faith and believe in Pakistan’s ideology. Creating suspicions in this belief is tantamount to weakening Pakistan.” Gen Kayani recalled last year’s Abbottabad operation as well as attack on Selala picket that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. He said that certain elements were propagating against Pakistan Army. “Despite these sacrifices, certain circles are out to malign the military. But the army is united to foil any attempt that aims at destabilising this country. We have strived our utmost to safeguard Pakistan and will keep doing so”, he said. “The way Pakistani nation has stood by its army is really commendable and heart touching. We are deeply thankful to our nation and we reiterate that Pakistan Army would live up to the nations’ expectations.”
Kayani particularly recalled the sacrifices rendered by Frontier Corps (FC), Frontier Constabulary (FC), Rangers and Police saying that Pakistan’s security forces were ready to pay ‘every price it takes in the motherland’s defence.’ Gen Kayani said Pakistan is facing grave security challenges and its armed forces, security forces and the people were united to sabotage every move against Pakistan. “Together we would defeat every challenge”, the army chief resolved. “Martyrdom is a very noble achievement. Those who have embraced it are lucky and our support, prayers and condolences are with the bereaved families. The blood of the martyrs calls us to stay united. Together we can make Pakistan a strong and welfare state.” The general also spoke high of the international community and those countries that sent their rescue teams to Gayari in order to assist Pakistan Army. Giving background of the Martyrs Day, Gen Kayani said, the Day was dedicated to the martyrs three years ago. “Since then, we celebrate the Martyrs Day annually to pay homage to our great men who have given their blood for this country.”

Former 111-Brigade Commander made DG-ISPR along with other high level military reshuffles

| Maj. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa |
Bajwa, along with more than half a dozen two-star generals, got new postings in the first round of reshuffle in the Pakistan Army on Friday.Military sources say the second round of reshuffle, postings and transfers with the promotion of at least four top major generals to the rank of lieutenant generals would take place most probably next week. At least there are four positions of three-star generals and the army chief would soon make the appointments in the second round. The present reshuffle/postings is largely confined to on-job general officers with three most significant new postings including Maj Gen Bajwa’s appointment as DG ISPR.“We wish him all the best,” said one of Bajwa’s colleagues, who saw him growing first as AMS to President General Musharraf and then commander 111-Brigade, and after his promotion to the rank of major general leading the successful combat campaign in Wana in the tribal belt where he flushed out militants and terrorists.
Bajwa’s predecessor, articulate and soft-spoken Maj Gen Athar Abbas, would be retiring from the army after handing over the charge of DG ISPR to his successor. His tenure in the ISPR was a mixed one, though he was often found shy in holding frank and open talk with journalists, except a few select ones during all the critical years when the Pakistan Army moved in the tribal belt to teach a lesson to the fleeing militants and terrorists. He was regarded highly among his colleagues.
The second significant change is that of Maj Gen Ghayyar Mehmood, who has been appointed to all the important position of Inspector-General Frontier Corps in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Until now, he was the VMS after having served in Wana some time back. People attach great hopes with Maj Gen Ghayyar to deal with the militants and terrorism in the KPK as an experienced soldier. He replaces Maj Gen Nadir Zeb, now posted to less significant position of DG HRD. Military sources say on his promotion as Lieutenant General Nasir Nawaz Janjua, VCGS, would be posted out and in his place one of the capable major generals would be appointed in the next round.As Commandant Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) Maj Gen Mazhar Jamil, has been appointed as VCGS (A), Maj Gen Sadiq Ali, GOC 1 Armoured Division has been shifted to succeed Maj Gen Mazhar Jamil as Commandant PMA.
Maj Gen Obaid Zikria, DGMP, has been appointed as Commandant EME College, and Maj Gen Tariq Jawaid, DG DESTO, is shifted as Vice Chief of Logistic Stocks (VCLS). Maj Gen Farrukh Bashir, GOC SSG, has been sent as Commandant DSG, while Maj Gen Sajjad Ali, GOC 14 Div, has been appointed as DG Qtg & Land. Maj Gen Hidayatur Rehman, COS SC, has been made GOC 14 Div, Maj Gen M Asif, DDG ISI (Bln) has sent as Commandant Log Area Gujranwala. Brig M Junaid ITD has been appointed as DG DESTO, and Brig Umar Farooq Durrani, COS 30 Corps, has been appointed as to GOC 1 of the Armoured Division.

Memogate: Traitor on the run; Panel to conclude without Haqqani's statement

However, Commission’s head Justice Qazi Faez Essa confronted Haqqani’s lawyer and said if a large number of lawyers from across the globe can come to Pakistan to attend a conference, which means they had no security concern, then Haqqani could come too. “A large number of lawyers and legal experts came to Pakistan to attend a judicial conference. They had no safety concerns. How can Husain Haqqani, the national of this country, refuse to travel to his homeland citing security concerns? It’s amazing! Isn’t it?”, Justice Qazi said. On Thursday, revealing the ridiculous details of Haqqani’s property, Zahid Bukhari told the Commission that his multi-billionaire client has a bank account having only Rs. 0.15 Million, expecting the Pakistanis to buy into this rubbish.
Zahid Bukhari told the Commission that his client was "afraid" of losing his life as local agencies were hostile against him, therefore Commission should not put his life in danger by asking him to appear in person. He didn't say that his client was afraid of facing treason charges face to face because he was guilty. ‘Please do not put my client’s life in danger by asking him to appear before the Commission in person. Commission can record his testimony though a video link from Pakistan’s Embassy in Washington’, Bukhari said. Analysts believe the Commission will now reach conclusions without Haqqani’s statement - an option that Haqqani’s lawyer had presented several times during the past three hearings.

Memogate: What's next?

The former ISI chief reiterated that he had briefed both the army chief and the president on the meeting — General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on October 24th last year and President Asif Ali Zardari on November 13.
General Pasha also said he had seen the 35 BlackBerry messages (BBM) between Ijaz and Husain Haqqani during his meeting with the former.
Concerning the issue, one can faithfully deduce the following observations from General Pasha’s appearance and statement before the Commission.
In the context of current events, it gives one an idea that the ex-ISI chief was committed to the affidavit he had submitted earlier and had not wavered from his principled stance. In other words, he did not give any statement that was contradictory to the affidavit.
Significantly, it was categorically rebutted by General Pasha that a coup was planned by the army following the May 2 development in Abbottabad. “The ISI knows about any revolt in advance, and there was no plan of a coup attempt following this incident,” he was quoted as saying in his statement. This is a very important declaration coming from the top spymaster as the memogate was reportedly based on coup rumours.
Moreover, Pasha’s appearance in the court confirmed the army chief’s pledge that armed forces will respect the rule of law without interfering in government affairs.
At the same time, Pasha showed his dissatisfaction before the Commission over the reply given by the ex-envoy to the US. This demonstrates that the army would like the other party to be as forthcoming as the national security institution was before the Commission and contest any parallel version of legitimacy and truth.
Moreover, General Pasha’s appearance also proved that the army still takes the memo issue very seriously despite efforts by some quarters that continue to downplay the importance of the memo for the armed forces and the national security. It is vital to remember that the concerned memo is not about feeding a myth and buying into a propaganda scam. As far as the national security institutions are concerned, there is no doubt about its veracity.

The new chief of Inter-Services Intelligence, Lt Gen Zahirul Islam, is planning to visit some European countries, along with his predecessor Lt Gen (retd) Ahmed Shuja Pasha, for exchanging views with intelligence and military officials of those countries on matters relating to ties with the US and supplies to Nato forces in Afghanistan.
Officials aware of the visit say that Gen (retd) Pasha will be accompanying Gen Zahirul Islam to help him with the transition at the ISI as the latter familiarises himself with global and regional issues.
Experts are of the opinion that despite the fact that parliament has to take a final decision, Gen Islam is likely to discuss, besides US-Pak relations, the issue of reopening Nato supply routes which may come up again and again.
When asked about the planned trip of the ISI chief, ISPR director general Maj Gen Athar Abbas said he do not comment on intelligence affairs.

Earlier during the day, Haqqani’s lawyer Zahid Bukhari had told a private channel that Haqqani had sent a so-called letter to RIM in order to receive his BlackBerry data. He added that the step was "taken" in accordance with the orders of the judicial commission probing the scandal. “Haqqani has given complete authority to RIM to email the data either to Haqqani or to my email account, so I can present it to the commission after seeing it through. They have a law that they do not share their data with any third party whether it is a court or anyone else. Therefore, we have emailed the request according to the order”, said Bukhari.

Memogate: Judicial Commission gives Last Chance to Haqqani

| The Supreme Court of Pakistan |
The commission, headed by Justice Qazi Faez Isa, directed Haqqani to write a letter to Blackberry manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) within 24 hours for a waiver of security. That would mean Haqqani forsaking the privacy clauses which prevent RIM from disclosing its users’ information. Bukhari informed the court that RIM did not keep records older than 90 days. However, Justice Mushir Alam said the commission had made it clear that Haqqani had to write the letter regardless. Attorney General Maulvi Anwarul Haq, who had earlier asked the Supreme Court to let Haqqani leave the country, saying that he would ensure the latter’s presence whenever needed, said: “We (government) are ready to implement the orders of the commission.”
Justice Isa, however, remained unimpressed. “What message are we sending to the world when a former ambassador refuses to come home to record his statement? Is this the credibility of the government that it cannot make former diplomats appear before the commission?” On Justice Isa’s request to assist the commission, Advocate S M Zafar suggested that Haqqani should be summoned through the interior ministry before any action is taken against him. Contrary to Zafar’s advice, attorneys Mustafa Ramday, Akram Sheikh and Salahuddin Mengal suggested that the commission take stringent action against Haqqani including issuing an arrest warrant, filing a criminal case or initiating a contempt of court case against him. These suggestions, however, were turned down by the commission.

Memogate: Tail Tucked Between Legs, Haqqani runs from Judicial Commission again

Earlier, the judicial commission probing the Memogate scandal issued notices to respondents in the case to appear before the commission on April 5. The commission had before that asked the Supreme Court to extend the deadline till March 31, so Haqqani could appear before the bench. However, the court’s deadline to decide whether Haqqani could appear before the commission via a video link passed, so it set a new date for Haqqani’s appearance. On March 29, the apex court extended the term of the judicial commission for another six weeks. It observed that though the commission’s probe is of high importance, it should conclude soon. It is quite obvious to those who have been monitoring court's proceedings regularly that Hussain Haqqani has not even once been able so far to prove Mansoor Ijaz wrong based upon facts. All facts point against him and the American stooge regime of Pakistan.
