\"pakistan-isi1.jpg\"<\/a>What was being said in the early hours of the 26\/11 attack on Mumbai \u2013 that ISI and regular State Actors were heavily involved in the entire planning and execution was, after all, not without basis. Such an attack, was not a \u201cTerrorist Attack\u201d but an \u201cAct of War\u201d. And this has been borne out by the investigations by Indian Government agencies with inputs from US Agencies \u2013 and specifically from interrogations with David Headley.<\/p>\n

Officers of the Mlitary Establishment, ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were heavily involved in the entire plot. Per Headley, two of his surveillance missions were financed by the ISI. He used to report back the Pak spy agency of his information gathered.<\/p>\n

The strike on India seems to have been a way for the Pakistani Spy and Military agencies to wrest control of the agenda as there is a strong internal churn going on. Radicalization is going on and there is a section of the Jehadi organizations that routinely targeted Kashmir and India to become more global in nature. A spectacular strike against India was an attempt<\/a> to showcase what Pak Agencies along with its chosen Jehadis could do and fire the imagination of the other groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ISI had no ambiguity in understanding the necessity to strike India,\u201d Headley is reported to have said. The aim of the agency was \u201ccontrolling further split in the Kashmir-based outfits, providing them a sense of achievement and shifting the theatre of violence from the domestic soil of Pakistan to India\u201d. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, it seems that some of the top brass, although knew of the operation, but were unaware of the scale and ambitious nature of the attacks. And that becomes even more scary, since one realizes that the entire attack could have been managed by parts of the Pakistani establishment. These sections, can act alone while keeping the others in the loop only to the extent that they can facilitate the operation. No more. This could spell disaster for Pakistan soon internally.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the admission from an American source has come about Osama and Ayman al-Zawahiri that far from being in caves, the Al Qaeda operatives are living well in safe houses provided and protected by ISI itself<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody in al-Qaeda is living in a cave,\u201d said the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the intelligence matters involved, CNN said.<\/p>\n

Rather, al-Qaeda\u2019s top leadership is believed to be living in relative comfort, protected by locals and some members of the Pakistani intelligence services ISI, the official said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course Pakistan has always \u2013 as a matter of routine \u2013 denied any backing or help to the Al Qaeda. The question however, is \u2013 what does \u201cPakistan\u201d mean? Specifically to the outsiders? If you think the Pakistani Prime Minister and\/or his Council of Ministers is Pakistan, then one is mistaken. Is one thinks its the Pak President, then even that isn\u2019t true. If one thinks its the Chief of their Army, then even that may not be the truth. Somehow behind these faceless, powerless, and nameless power-combine is the real soul of Pakistani terror \u2013 its entire Jehadi Establishment and its Arm of Pakistani establishment. That is what really runs Pakistan. And they never give any statements to the papers. They just run their terror network as efficiently as possible. The PM, the President and the rest of the jokers are useful actors working on their behalf in a giant game of Al-Taqqiya<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The Moderates fool the world so the Extremists can \u201cdo the needful\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically the intransigent nature of ISI in terms of how it backs up terror tactics against the world should of greatest concern to the leaders of West, India, and Israel. It is not just a one off thing. Its a carefully orchestrated, funded and backed strategy which has a certain world-view. Until it is taken head on, there is little chance that one can save innocent lives in future. The terror juggernaut will keep rolling until then and the leaders will keep issuing nauseatingly cliched statements after every attack.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
