India's Dodgy Dossier on Mumbai

On 10 January 2009, at The Daily Times, we read:



A question of evidence by Shaukat Qadir



(Qadir is a retired brigadier and former vice president and founder of the Islamabad Policy Research Institute IPRI)

Among the points made:

1. The Indian government has handed over to Pakistan the 'evidence' collected regarding the alleged involvement of Pakistani personnel in the Mumbai attacks.

Reportedly, this is Kasab, and he may not be from Pakistan.



2. The evidence consists of:



(1) a 'confession' by Ajmal Kasab, in which he has named his nine companions in the attack and



(2) a letter to the Pakistani High Commissioner in India, seeking his help as a Pakistani citizen.



3. Both these documents are in Hindi.



It is highly unlikely that Kasab, a 'Pakistani', whose natural language would be Urdu, would write to the high commissioner, in his own hand, in Hindi, even if he had learnt the language.



"That is the first thing that makes both these documents suspect."



4. "It would be natural for Pakistani authorities to assume that the confession was made under duress; which would make it inadmissible in any court."



5. Kasab’s confession names only the nine companions killed by Indian security forces.



"It would be a physical impossibility for ten individuals to attack nine different locations simultaneously, wreak the havoc they did, hold people hostage, and successfully hold off against the hordes of Indian security forces for sixty-two hours."

6. After obtaining Kasab’s 'confession', India initially accused Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani 'militant' and the founder of the group Jaish-e-Mohammed, based mainly in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

(Initially press reports had said that Dawood Ibrahim was the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks. Ibrahim has, reportedly, been a CIA asset. - Role of alleged CIA asset in Mumbai attacks being downplayed)



LAKHVI



Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT which works in Kashmir) was not on India’s list.



Now, reportedly, Kasab has named Lakhvi.



7. India refers to 'decoded Skype phone calls' made over the internet; Pakistani cell telephone numbers of individuals that the attackers supposedly spoke to; and T-shirts, shaving creams, toothpaste etc. recovered from the hijacked boat they came ashore in, which are of Pakistani origin.



Any court of law would not accept this as sufficient prima facie evidence to consider the individuals India has named as 'accused'.

India to carry out strikes on Pakistan?

Maulana Masood Azhar of the CIA?

'Global Intelligence Service', Stratfor says in a report that the Indian military has prepared operations against targets in Pakistan and awaits the signal to go forward.

Reportedly, the USA and its allies may be keen to get India into a war against Pakistan.

The CIA and its friends may be trying to influence its agents within the Indian and Pakistan governments and militaries, in order to bring about a conflict.

Indian Defence Minister AK Antony said very recently that India is not planning any military action against Pakistan in response to the Mumbai attacks. (India rules out Pakistan attack)

But all is not peaceful.

1. The Pakistan government says it has lost track of Masood Azhar, the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a militant group. (Fears grow over Pakistan terror resolve)

The Pakistani defence ministry had said recently that security forces had arrested Azhar, who is suspected of launching an attack on the Indian parliament in 2001.

Masood Azhar used to belong to the CIA-backed mujahedeen. (Role of alleged CIA asset in Mumbai attacks being downplayed)

Masood Azhar is reported to be linked to Omar Saeed Sheikh. (Sept. 11's Smoking Gun: The Many Faces of Saeed Sheikh). Former President Musharraf, in his book In the Line of Fire stated that Sheikh was originally recruited by British intelligence agency, MI6, while studying at the London School of Economics. He alleges Omar Sheikh was sent to the Balkans by MI6 to engage in jihadi operations. (Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Mukherjee

2. India's Foreign Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said, "If a country cannot keep the assurances that it has given, then it obliges us to consider the entire range of options that exist to protect our interests and people from this menace." (India May Conduct Precision Strikes In Pakistan)

3. 'Global Intelligence Service', Stratfor says in a report that the Indian military has prepared operations against targets in Pakistan and awaits the signal to go forward.

(Report: India may attack Pakistan)

According to Stratfor:

"These most likely would take the form of unilateral precision strikes inside Pakistan-administered Kashmir, along with special forces action on the ground in Pakistan proper...

"Sources have indicated to Stratfor that New Delhi is going through the diplomatic motions in order to give Pakistan the opportunity to take care of the militant problem itself - but the Indians know that Islamabad has neither the will nor the capability to address their concerns...

"India has to communicate firmly that it will no longer tolerate attacks from Pakistan-based militants - whether they are rogue or approved by the state.

"Failure to do so risks emboldening the militants and their enablers, as well as a domestic political backlash.

"The Indian government could not live with either of those outcomes..."



Mukherjee of India

On 10 December 2008, at http://www.daily.pk/, we read: Phone Call Hoax From India to Pakistan Yet Another Mossad Operation?

On 28 November 2008, during the Mumbai attacks, someone claiming to be India's foreign minister, Pranab Mukherjee, phoned Pakistan's president, Asif Zardari.

Mukherjee has denied making the call.

The caller, claiming to be Mukherjee, threatened war against Pakistan in retaliation for the Mumbai attacks.

As a result of the phone call, Pakistan scrambled fighter jets and sent them towards the Indian border.

Pakistan was put on a war footing.

Zardari of Pakistan

Reportedly, US Sec. of State Condoleeza Rice contacted Mukherjee who told her that no such call had been made.

Pakistan maintains that the call originated from a recognized phone number within the Indian government’s Foreign Ministry.


Lavon

In 1954, in the Lavon Affair, Israel attempted to bomb American facilities in Egypt, so that there would be an excuse for the USA to act against Egypt.

The US government tried to sink the USS Liberty.

In 1967 Israel, in league with the Pentagon, attacked and attempted to sink the USS Liberty, so that Egypt could be blamed.

(aangirfan: The US government tried to sink the USS Liberty)

Reportedly, in 1986, at Berlin's La Belle Disco, people working for Mossad, and the CIA, killed two US servicemen, a Turkish woman. 229 people were maimed.

In 1986, during the Reagan administration, Mossad broadcast false-flag messages from a location in Libya (termed Operation Trojan Horse) in order to unfairly blame Libya for the La Belle terror attack. (Victor Ostrovsky: How Mossad got America to bomb Libya and fight Iraq)

(aangirfan: Abu Nidal reportedly worked for the CIA and MOSSAD / aangirfan: The CIA, Abu Nidal and Lockerbie)

Beirut 1983

In 1983, explosions hit the American embassy in Beirut and its accompanying Marine Barracks. This resulted in the deaths of close to 250 Americans. (Israeli Foreknowledge of the Bombing of US Marines In Beirut, 1983)

The former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky leveled charges that Mossad knew of the plans for the bombing, but never informed the US government (Ostrovsky 1991). It has been suggested that the reason that Israel did not inform the US was that the withdrawal of US and French forces prevented them from interfering with Israeli operations in Lebanon. [28].

What about Bombay?

Reportedly Israel, and the USA, want Pakistan to be divided up.

Witnesses have described some of the gunmen as being white men.

Israel could sell more weaponry in the event of a war.

Reportedly, Israel wants a clash of civilizations, a bloody war between Christians and Moslems.

In his book 'The Shadow Factory', former National Security Officer James Bamford describes how Israel has invested in the telecommunications industry and has the capacity to tap into any phone line or internet connection worldwide.

Therefore, "placing a call to the office of the Pakistani president and manipulating the logarithms of the telecommunication software to have it appear the call originated from within the Indian Ministry of Foreign affairs would be easy".

What are the chances of a war?

Former US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer once said, "What Israel wants, Israel gets."
