Kamra attack foiled... By owais
28 August, 2012


After an intense gun battle lasting for two hours, security personnel of the Pakistan Army and PAF successfully thwarted the terrorist attack on PAF Minhas Air Base in Kamra. Although it was an unexpected attack in the early hours of the morning, yet the security forces managed to overcome terrorists' malicious attempt and eliminated all nine terrorists while protecting the base from any devastation.

Through this attack, terrorists attempted to portray security forces as incapable of defending the country's sensitive security installations and thus invite international criticism in this regard. However, the defenders of the country effectively delivered their counter-terrorism capability once again. Terrorists unashamedly exploited the night of the 27th of Ramadan, one of the most sacred nights for Muslims, thinking the majority of the soldiers would be devoted to worship and would fail to pose them any resistance.

Nevertheless, the well-timed and appropriate counter-action by the security forces speaks volume about the extent of their vigilance and dauntless courage against militants and shows their commitment towards their national obligation. Security forces' endeavour against the terrorist attack at Kamra airbase merits appreciation and encouragement from every segment of the Pakistani society.

About the underlined part.... its not unusual, both the real circumstances and the consequences of the Kamra attack are such as to not permit a full disclosure to occur.

Well. You seriously expect Armed Forces to counter such false allegations? We just give such statements a huge facepalm. It's just like asking, if soldiers are allowed to have a gun with them in army or not.

And well, just for your information, the US defense secretary visited Kamra and he latter said that it was no Nuke base an d Pak's Nukes are completely safe.

Read your bold line and read your first line again. Irony is Kamra base is a nuke base allegation was started by some american "citizen" so a US defense secretary visit was sanctioned to calm things down, why armed forces statment that Kamra is not a nuke base was not enough for Americans?????? and when Pakistani "Citizens" alleges something, they are given a reply which is given in your first paragraph.

Are "WE" Pakistani Citizens are second class citizens monsieur?

RAW’s footprints By: Khurshid Anwer Mirza | September 01, 2012 | 18 In the recent attack on PAF’s Kamra Airbase, the militants’ obvious
target was the AWAC (Airborne warning and control) aircraft. The PAF
had recently acquired three from Sweden. These aircrafts are
expensive, very sophisticated and highly effective for air surveillance,
looking deep into the enemy’s territory and for guiding own fighters
onto their targets even below the ground-based radar’s coverage. These aircrafts are force multipliers and, therefore, very potent.
We may also recall the attack on Pak navy’s Mehran Base at Karachi
conducted not so very long ago. The attackers ignored the aircraft
parked at the adjacent PAF base as well as those based on its naval
side - their targets were the two Orion naval surveillance aircraft
acquired from the US. These aircrafts, too, are highly effective in detecting and destroying hostile submarines as well as surface ships –
by day, night and in all weather conditions.
Considering that neither the air force AWAC’s, nor the navy’s Orions
had any part to play in the anti-terrorist operations, why were these
aircrafts singled out as targets? Did the TTP-hired guns have any
gumption about the various types of aircraft and their functions? Obviously, not! They were merely following the instructions of their
paymasters.
Let us shift our gaze to what was happening in Balochistan. Apart from
daily killings and kidnappings, the militants had been targeting
income-generating facilities, like the railways, sui gas installations,
electricity pylons, etc, besides spreading sectarian violence. They had also been targeting the Chinese, who were helping us in various
development projects in Balochistan and elsewhere. Here again, the
systematic choice of targets - economic, sectarian, etc - provided clue
to the real planners and perpetrators while the militants were merely
the cat’s paw.
Move back further in time to Lahore and recall the attack on Sri Lanka’s cricket team. Pray what had the Sri Lankans to do with the Taliban or
Nifaz-e-Sharia? None, of course! The aim was to bring a bad name to
Pakistan and to isolate it from international cricket. Surely, that was
not the objective of the Taliban!
Thus, the spectrum of violence from economic targets to attack on
sensitive military installations, especially their high value assets, to sectarian killings and attack/abduction of foreigners, clearly indicated
method to the madness - much beyond the ken of Taliban. The
objectives of those well planned attacks were wide and varied: to
destabilise the country, to undermine its economy, to isolate it from its
friends, to denigrate Pakistan’s image internationally, to degrade its
defence capability, to sow the seeds of hatred among the people. Above all, to show that if Pakistan cannot effectively defend its
sensitive defence installations and control the widespread militancy
and the lawlessness, how could it defend its nuclear assets!
It should be obvious that all those well thought out attacks could not
be the work of simple, gun trotting Taliban. Who could be supporting
them with the necessary funds, intelligence and planning? By the mere process of elimination of the countries that could be
behind such terrorist activities in this region, the finger clearly points
towards India with which Pakistan has fought several major and minor
wars since independence. To be specific, India’s notorious agency, RAW,
(the architect of Bangladesh) having established itself in Afghanistan
(thanks to Musharraf) is playing merry - hell with Pakistan - of course with the support of the Afghan government and Mossad.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik, and other high officials before him, had
time and again accused the RAW for the ills going on in Pakistan. Even
international observers like Christine Fair after her visit to Afghanistan
had categorically stated that the Indian Consulates established there
were involved in subversive activities against Pakistan. In fact, they had “confided in her that they were pumping money into Balochistan.”
However, the Indian Interior Minister had claimed that “there was not
a shred of evidence about India’s involvement!”
Perhaps, his confident utterance was not entirely misplaced. For RAW’s
strategy was highly secretive - based on four M’s.
M for man: To select a rebellious leader like Mujibur Rehman (East Pakistan), Brahamdagh Khan Bugti (Balochistan), Hakeemullah Mehsud
(Fata), Malvi Fazlullah (Swat), and Maulana Azam (late).To provide the
top men with funds, intelligence and weaponry, but let them deal with
their hired goous while RAW stayed in the background. So even when
some militants were captured no one would be the wiser.
M for mission: The chosen leader must have a mission that should be propagated, as the aspiration of the majority. Like the demand for
Bangladesh, Azad Balochistan, Nifaz-e-Sharia, etc.
M for militancy: To achieve the selected mission, they must resort to
militancy based on the local mercenaries – under the banner of
appealing names like Mukti Bahini, BLA, TTP, etc.
M for money and munitions: The militants must be supported with money and sophisticated weaponry.
How do we effectively counter RAW’s sinister aims?
First and foremost, the government and the armed forces must
acknowledge the fact that a covert war had been unleashed against
Pakistan to destabilise and, if possible, disintegrate Pakistan. What
Pakistan was facing was not the run-of-the-mill militancy, but a full- fledged guerrilla warfare, totally beyond the capacity of the police and
the civil armed forces. We must realise that after our attaining nuclear
capability, the only option left for India was to destabilise Pakistan
through “covert operations” - as open war would invite a nuclear
response.
The armed forces must take charge before it is too late to coordinate the internal security of the country against the covert war, which was
slowly eating into the vitals of the country. Additionally, we must set
up an anti-RAW agency by pooling experienced personnel from
various spy agencies. Its sole purpose should be to focus entirely on
RAW’s machinations, to anticipate and to forestall them. And if push
comes to a shove to give RAW a taste of its own medicine. We must realise that we are in a state of war and, therefore, the peace time
procedures and lackadaisical approach would only spell disaster.
In the end, a word for our peaceniks. By all means pursue your dream
of “Aman ki Asha” – indeed, any sensible person would want the two
countries with their teeming millions living below the poverty line to
be on friendly terms and not waste their limited resources in war mongering. Unfortunately, it will forever remain just an “Asha”, if the
Indians do not change their mindset of “Atoot Ang” vis-à-vis Kashmir
and “Akhund Bharat” vis-à-vis Pakistan.
It is very rightly said that actions speak louder than words. Pogrom at
independence; the forcible occupation of the Muslim majority state of
Kashmir; the Rann of Kutch battle; the 1965 war (India was the first to cross international border unannounced); the 1971 war thrust upon us
without any provocation as such (to create Bangladesh); the
occupation of Siachen; the building dams on three western rivers in
stark violation of the Indus Waters Treaty while helping Afghanistan
to build a dam’s on Kabul River (all with terrible economic
consequences for Pakistan) and now this covert war. Need one say more?

What is the common theme behind these?

It can't be Muslims. Muslims can't kill Muslims.

It must be them cursed infidels, the worst of the creation!

^^^ or somebody who is afraid on Pakistan's 'air defence'.
Taliban would be afraid of 'air offence' not defence.
