| Neighbouring countries involved in terrorist activities: sources |
| 2008-09-04 |
| Investigation into the terrorist incidents across the country has established the involvement of a spy agency of a neighbouring country in most of the bloody incidents, official sources told The News. "There are proofs that many of the terrorist gangs operating in the Frontier, the Fata and other parts of the country are being funded and provided explosives and weapons by the spy agency of a neighbouring country," a senior investigator said while requesting anonymity. The official added that secret agents and some individuals of another neighbouring country were facilitating contacts between agents of the aforesaid spy agency and members of the criminal rings that were bombing and rocketing places all over the country. "The make of the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in different blasts is a clear indication that these bombs were made by properly skilled military people and not untrained locals, working for different rings," the official disclosed. The official said the spy agency transported explosives and money to the criminals through another neighbouring country. "The DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) circuits, the RDX (explosive) material and plastic explosives that are being used in roadside IEDs are purely of the latest technology that is coming from abroad. The detonators and the latest model remote control system are also being provided from a foreign country," the official disclosed. Sources said criminals, as members of their rings, operating in Peshawar and Charsadda were being paid monthly salary and huge share in booty. Money for this purpose, these sources continued, is being provided by the spy agency of the neighbouring country. "Police had got incontrovertible evidence that apart from bomb blasts in different districts and tribal agencies of the country, the aforesaid spy agency was involved in the killing of three Chinese technicians in suburban Daudzai village of Peshawar last year. The purpose was to affect the ideal Sino-Pak relationship," the official claimed. In that case, people in Afghanistan, the source disclosed, gave the accused persons a huge amount in dollars. The source added that another such connection was found about three persons who were killed in a blast in Yakatoot area while handling their own IED. "One of the deceased was an Afghan, having connections with a foreign spy agency," the source revealed. |

| #3 Pakistani paranoia knows no bounds The crème de la crème of Indian business houses have expressed an interest in investing in Pakistan over the last few years but no one has had any luck. Unbeknownst to the public, India’s most famous tycoon Ratan Tata flew into Isloo on his private jet, accompanied by five of his top directors. This was in early 2007. Tata met Shortcut and he and his team had a long and interesting discussion about investment opportunities in Pakistan. Tata said he wanted to start with an investment of US $ 2 billion to begin with. Shortcut told Tata that he was welcome to do so but that there had to be a political breakthrough before it could be business as usual. Then the fabled Mukesh Ambani, son of Dirubhai of the House of Reliance, expressed an interest in buying the largest PTA plant in Pakistan, one located in the Punjab. No deal. For Anand Mahindra, of Mahindra & Mahindra, India’s largest automobile manufacturers, it was a matter of overwhelming nostalgia. Born in Rawalpindi before the Partition, Mahindra wanted to set up a SUV manufacturing plant in the environs of Rawalpindi. No deal. The Suris, also originally a Rawalpindi family put in a bid for Lahore’s famous Faletti’s which they wanted to turn into a 7 star hotel. No deal. For how long will the interests of the subcontinent’s people be held hostage at the alter of politics? |
