Parachinar weeps again
23As the Pakistan military strengthens its position in Swat and Waziristan, the Kurram agency is in the spotlight once again. Fighting has erupted and reportedly, the Taliban fleeing from Waziristan and Swat are wrecking havoc in Parachinar. They are fuelling sectarian tensions and finding refuge as locals from different sectarian groups, particularly the Shi’ites, are targeted.
Amidst fierce clashes that left 33 dead and over 65 injured in a single day, the residents of Parachinar have renewed their call for a military operation. A call they have been issuing for almost 28 months now. The government, the previous and the present, seem to pay no heed to this despearate appeal. (more…)
India ‘staged’ Mumbai drama, hotel guests testify
A recent report published by the BBC points more fingers towards Indian security agencies for actually staging the entire Mumbai drama. The stories craft by the Indian electronic and print media were absolutely absurd from the very beginning. Now we have it that the guests who had trapped themselves inside hotel rooms for safety were actually instructed by policemen to leave the building while the fighting raged on.
Several other things have been left unanswered, including the gross failure of Indian security and intelligence agencies that such a big terrorist attack happened right under their nose, in a country aspiring to become a regional superpower. All these questions that raise in one’s mind have been discussed before here and at several other forums.
So much so that the Indian minister for minorities had to resign for raising the issue of Mr. Karkare’s suspicious killing at an unknown location on the same day – the senior Indian policeman who had exposed the masterminds of the Samjhota express bombings and held a Hindu serving Indian army Colonel for the same.
Oh Come on Indians! I’m not buying this load of crap!
8Stunned, shocked and silent I was when a handful of terrorists handicapped a metropolis like ‘Mumbai’. How indiscriminate they were in the way they showered innocent people with bullets, killing around 200 people.
But here’s when I started to smell something fishy. Did you see how much in control over the entire situation they were? Almost as if they had the nod of the security agencies to go and put up a thrilling action drama.
And to top it all, the haste with which the fingers started pointing towards Pakistan was ridiculously absurd and unacceptable to anyone in a stable state of mind.
How do you expect me to believe that the ‘terrorists’ managed to infiltrate the Indian waters when a major naval exercise was actually in progress? (more…)
PAF jets secure our air space as US spy jet retreats

A sigh of relief for the Pakistani nation at last! The Pakistan air force decided to send in its jets to fly over North Waziristan to keep a check on Pakistan’s air space violations by the United States, which is being seen as a very strong signal internationally.
A US spy plane had entered Pakistani air space but disappeared soon after the emergence of PAF fighter jets.
Locals of FATA have expressed a sigh of relief and satisfaction over the PAF flights.
The United States had publicly announced in recent days that it will carry out attacks in Pakistani territory and will only inform the Pakistani government. The United States categorically said that it will not ask for Pakistan’s permission, which invited a strong statement from the Chief of Pakistani armed forces, General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani. (more…)
Political Jugglery and Gora Raj!
2I really don’t know what’s going on and what the outcome of all this would be. I personally visualize an extremely uncertain political environment. Everything seems to be out of order and in chaos. Its been over a month now and we still don’t have an announcement on who our esteemed ‘Prime Minister’ would be. This article may turn a little aggressive towards the end, but thats the way I am when I write! (more…)
