Pakistani
Role in Terrorist Attacks Against the USA: An
Update
Narayanan
Komerath
The
original version of this article was published,
up-to-date as of September 12, 2002. At the time,
the public-domain evidence of Pakistani
involvement in terrorist attacks and plots around
the world was summarized in Table 1, below.
Events since then are listed in Table 2.
The
sense that “All terrorism emanates from
Islamabad” has now occurred to several people,
some listed in Table 3. There is a dichotomy in
the interpretations of this finding. Those who
insist on being seen in resonance with the public
statements of the US/UK Administrations, and as
being adept at “Thinking Outside The Box”,
conclude that increasing Pakistan-origin terrorism
is proof of increased need for assistance to
General Musharraf – the poor, beleaguered,
Powerless Dictator. Faced with toughening
questions on this oxymoron, this lobby shelters
behind the “TINA” (There Is No Alternative”)
rock: “Support
General Musharraf to ensure that the
Pakistani nuclear weapons do not fall into the
hands of the Extremists” – ignoring the
clear history of Musharraf’s rise to power as
the Armani-suited front of the Pakistan Army of
Islam.
Others
including this author feel that there are far more
effective and honest ways to deal with nuclear
blackmail and terrorism. Perhaps we are stuck in
the groove of old school thinking where Al Capone
and Adolf Hitler were not seen as the Frontline
Allies in the Wars against Organized Crime and
Nazism respectively.
In
the past year though several terrorist attacks
have occurred and law enforcement authorities have
won some successes.
Several major resources of information have
also been identified. Most notable of those are
Bernhard Henri Levi’s “Who Killed Daniel
Pearl?” now translated into English and
available in the US; Gerald Posner’s book,
declassified documents from US intelligence,
articles from former Indian intelligence officer
B.Raman, interviews with former Pakistani Prime
Ministers and jailed terrorists claiming to have
worked for them, and declarations from Australian,
Canadian, British, Russian and Indonesian
authorities. Most pointed is a report on the
interrogation of accused Al Qaeda recruiter Abu
Zubeidah, who was arrested from Faisalabad,
Pakistan in September 2002 – directly
implicating top Pakistani and Saudi authorities
and closely followed by the mysterious death of
Pakistan’s top Air Force general. The ties to
the Mumbai bombings of 1993, the Bojinka plot of
1995, the hijacking of IC814 in 1999, and the
guilty pleas by eleven Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists
in Maryland and Virginia, all provide news for an
update. Mumbai bombing mastermind and Interpol
Most Wanted List member Dawood Ibrahim has been
put on the US terrorist list with his Pakistani
passport number publicized.
Again,
this update is only a compilation of what is seen
in the open literature, and probably quite
incomplete in detail and understanding of the full
extent. To this author, the extent is still
mind-boggling.

Meanwhile,
the REAL War Against Terrorism Rages On
While
western government spokespersons and diplomats
practice Alice-in-Wonderland contortions of logic,
while dictators are supported as champions of
freedom, terrorist generals are invited as
Distinguished Speakers to the National Defense
University, and while nuclear weapons are
exchanged for missiles between terrorist states,
the real war rages on the frontlines against
medieaval terrorism. The Indian policeman,
soldier, and civilian pay with their lives to
defend freedom and democracy from the barbarians.
In the State of Jammu-Kashmir, in the first five
months of 2003, 137 law officers including Army
personnel died fighting. They killed 546 Pakistani
terrorists. Unfortunately, the terrorists managed
to kill 346 Indian civilians as well, including
many little children. From [Deepika 030615]: “1098
and 1050 civilians, 613 and 539 security personnel
and 2020 and 1707 militants lost their lives
during 2001 and 2002 respectively”. It
appears that 2003 is another “routine” year
– unless the Indian people finally decide that
enough is enough, and put the terrorist state of
Pakistan and its genocidal Army out of their
misery.
