Busted! ISI reportedly Planned Attacks On US-Israeli Consulates In India
2014-05-04
[Ynet]Indian intelligence interrogates prisoner who admits providing surveillence for the Pak plot; names Pakistain official as handler.

The Pak intelligence agency known as ISI planned terror attacks on US and Israeli consulates in India reported the Press Trust of India on Sunday.

Indian official sources said that proof of the planned attacks was given during the interrogation of Sakir Hussain, a Sri Lankan national who was tossed in the clink
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
on April 29 in Southeast Asia when Sherlocks informed an Indian security agency of his possible connection to planned attacks in India.

Sources told the Press Trust of India that Hussain admitted to being paid by the ISI to spy and report on details of the structures and security forces of the Bangalore Israeli consulate and the US consulate in Chennai in southwest India.

Hussain was reportedly incarcerated

a short while after arriving in Chennai and taken away for interrogation during which he surrendered the information about the attacks saying that the ISI had planned on sending two operatives from Maldives to India, presumably to carry out the attacks, and Hussain had taken care of providing fake travel documents and safe-houses.

Hussain claimed that his handler in the ISI had been Amir Zubair Siddiq, a counselor at the Pakistain high commission in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and a man already under suspicion as an ISI operative because of previous incidents.

Indian Sherlocks also found surveillance photographs apparently linked to Hussain, picturing roads leading to the two consulates as well as the gates at their entrances. Indian sources said that the photographs had been sent to supposed ISI elements in Pakistain as well as the high commission in Colombo.

Further cyber investigations showed Indian Intelligence that the photos had been downloaded to a computer at the site of the high commission in Colombo.

The high commission's press attaché Muhammed Daud Ehtisham vehemently denied accusations that the commission or the ISI were involved in any such plans, calling the accusations a, "malicious media campaign."

Sri Lankan authorities have already launched their own investigation into the surrounding events, though Ehtisham claimed that no evidence would be found saying that Pakistain is a responsible state that would not have part in any such attacks.
Just like they had no part in the many attacks on India that have taken place since 1949. Really, they're like little children who think if they cover their eyes the angry Mama can't see them.

#6  The ISI should be a major target of US Intel and CI

Target bloody hell! We're RANGER buddies. How else could we have flown back and forth hundreds of miles into PAK airspace without being challenged, and terminated UBL.

We certainly knew where the Champ was THAT fok'n night !

#3  The issue is that there appears to be two organizations. One is the outer ISI group, presented by Pakistan as military personnel assigned to the organization on a short/intermediate term basis. The other is the inner: a long-term, hard core ISI.

There'll be some overlap, with the outer doing work for the inner. Those Pakistani officers who reportedly show up at Taliban camps, for example. Or short-term military assignees planning operations using sterilized information.

While going after it will affect the ISI, the outer layer is the ablative shield; one needs to hit the inner layer to have any effect.

#2  The ISI should be a major target of US Intel and CI, and a target for a large amount of drone zapping and wet work.

It doesn't need just to be brought to heel, it needs to be brought to ruin.
