The terrible aftermath of the Rawalpindi carnage is now before us. Among the 40 dead are children and the elderly. Devastated families organise funerals and try to find ways to cope with their grief. They will, like the thousands of other...
Could it be that the TTP is securing such equipment by leveraging its relationship with its wealthy Arab benefactors in the Gulf who in turn have long-standing relationships with some of the biggest arms dealers in the world?
Could it be that the equipment procured is then funneled through...
Excellent point - that is one of the major reasons I suspect insider involvement - people who are in the business of providing safe houses, arranging weapon delivery and logistics, and other intel support.
And lets not assume that the Indians are the primary funding source when all credible information indicates that foreign donors from the Gulf and Afghan drug money are the two biggest sources for TTP funding.
While the indians may be involved to some extent, we don't want to ignore the much...
Note to AgnosticMuslim: This is partly why it is so important to identify the REAL primary sponsors of TTP, and educate the average public about the clear and present danger posed by such elements.
If BATMAN had his way, he'd be staking out the IG's house to catch the TTP masterminds!
I'm talking about our local and foreignTTP jihadis - the mehsuds, fazlullahs, uzbeks, arabs and of course the southern punjab jihadis affliated with TTP.
I agree - thats probably the smartest approach. The government and military should sequence the effort in the following way - IMHO.
First Stage: Target TTP, its local handlers, and sponsors
- Continue eliminating TTP foot soldiers and leaders;
- Create a list of all local entities...
The TTP thugs have been schooled in the Salafi doctrine with a intensely takfiri outlook - a supremacist worldview that gives them license in their own minds to declare any muslim to be a munafiq.
I agree that the handlers and supporters indoctrinating and funding the foot soldiers must be eliminated.
This begs the question:
Does the military and government have the guts to stomp on the pro-TTP Salafi network of charities, madrassas, affiliated jihadis like LeJ/JM, pro-jihadi...
Clearly, there are exceptions and will continue to be for some time - just like the serving and retired Army officers recently arrested for interfacing between LeT and the suspected terrorist Headley currently in FBI custody.
Frankly, I'd advise you guys to not be so SMUG about your...
The JIHADI Network the military establishment created in the 80s and more importantly nurtured in the 90s has come back to haunt it. We fed the snake and the serpent has come back to bite us.
LESSON NO. 1 FOR THE PAKISTANI ESTABLISHMENT:
Do not ever pursue policy goals on the backs of...
I don't know about 'lots and lots' but there are probably a few scumbag military insiders/traitors providing info to the Jihadis for facilitating attacks on military complexes and neighborhoods.
A possbility that should be vigorously investigated - any traitorous pro-TTP military officers...
