Baloch insurgency: Kabul helped dismantle Brahamdagh camps: Malik​

ISLAMABAD: In a startling revelation on Sunday, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Baloch Republican Party chief Brahamdagh Bugti operated training camps in Afghanistan which were dismantled after Islamabad conveyed its concerns about the matter to Afghanistan.

Bugti had allegedly established training camps in Kandahar from where he was fuelling the insurgency in Balochistan, Malik said. He allegedly trained around 4,000 to 5,000 men for action against the Frontier Corps in the restive province.

“Bugti hired three large houses for training. We have shared these details with Afghan officials,” he told reporters at the Islamabad Press Club.

The interior minister said Pakistan had requested the Afghan president to deport Bugti after which he was forced to leave the country. After Bugti’s departure from Kabul, the situation in Balochistan is under control, the minister claimed.

Taking notice of Islamabad’s concerns, the United Nations and Afghanistan had told the self-exiled Baloch leader to take political asylum anywhere in the world after which Brahamdagh moved to Switzerland.

Malik added that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has admitted that militants from his country were fuelling tensions in Balochistan.

“President Karzai has promised to stop infiltration of militants from Afghanistan into Pakistan,” Malik said. This is the first time a senior Pakistani official has said on record that the insurgency in Balochistan is being aggravated by Afghanistan.

At a trilateral summit between Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan last month, Pakistani officials had complained to Karzai about the issue.

In response to Islamabad’s request, Kabul has formally given its assurance to stop the infiltration of militants from Kandahar to Balochistan’s border district Chaman.

But, on the other hand, Afghan security forces have also been blaming Islamabad for clandestine support to Taliban militants. Pakistani officials have accused Afghan security forces of supporting Quetta Shura – the top Taliban leadership council – for plotting terror incidents in the province.


Visas to American citizens

Pakistan will not extend visas of American citizens without substantial reasons, he added. “No American citizen will be allowed to enter Pakistan without valid documents. They will only be allowed inside Pakistan if they seek proper permission from the interior and foreign ministries.”

Check on private security firms

Malik said the interior ministry has kept a check on private security firms’ activities since he assumed charge in 2008. “Their NOCs are being verified. Heads of these firms have been asked to renew their NOCs and licences as and when they expire.”

The big Q is, "who is funding the Bhugti's 5000 men in Qandahar" ?

I don't believe it. Karzai and his government is very pro-india and anti-pakistan.

We'll see if there is less violence in Balochistan. Already since this Bugti terrorist escaped to Switzerland we've seen so many terrorist attacks in Balochistan, so don't trust papa smurf karzai.

Pakistani dont play like how india is playing in Baluchistan... we will take them down at right time with right resources ....

 

[mr42O]

So Pakistan is right about it. And now close 10+ Indians terrorist tranings camps along Pakistani border.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

AHA!!!

so YEARS later, they finally came clean!


if true, it's a very wise and suggestible move by the Kabuli Regime. Now we just need to apply more pressure and have those ''indian consulates'' shut down because we know damn well they aint issuing tourist visas to uttar pradesh

Karzai might have helped dismantling the camps, which would not have established without his consent. Why? The lenghts US can go to open the NATO supply route.

India's interests will be sacrificed on this occasion.

Let's see what else can Pak Mil. bargain from this game.

nothing will bring back the lives of our brave soldiers who were killed not just by enemies (understandable) but also by friendlys (absolutely unacceptable)


a lot of politics are now at play, but leverage is important. Leverage is EVERYTHING here. Complex geography has been much to our advantage as it has also been to our disadvantage.

 

[Areesh]

Good stuff from Afghanistan if true. It is good for the future of Afghanistan also and for this region in general.

 

[Luffy 500]

Why doesn't PAK fence the border between PAK & AF and increase troops deployment there. PAK should also increase transit
charges on AF vehicles crossing via PAK. AF is totally dependent on PAK and shouldn't even think about doing antiPAK
activities.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

I think even the NATOs know where he is......but if the American public comes to know that they know, it wont bode well politically.

by the way im just guessing that's where he is. They say he's in Quetta.




''he says, she says''

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

does he not have much support in Afghanistan?

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Let's hope Pakistan returns the favour by handing over Mullah Omar and his cronies

not sure if that will go well with you guys.
we did something similar last time didnt we? and you and your American .... erm..... Guests (cough)..
didnt appreciate it when we captured and handed over Mullah Baradar?

had we not we would have been damned, we did but we were damned because you guys were negotiating peace with him and we spoiled it.

now why should you seek Mullah Omar? you are seeking a peace deal with him are you not? why all those meetings in Doha and Qatar etc? why all those offices being setup in Qatar? that would be cheating and double crossing no?

you and your American.... Guests. (cough) wouldnt do such a thing would you? oh wait maybe its the bad influence from our side that is affecting you? maybe the evil ISI has brainwashed you into planning to capture him while pretending to be talking peace with him?

if he is captured then sod the peace talks just ridicule him and put him behind bars or just kill him like Osama and declare victory and for good measure blame ISI, Pakistan and Zahid Hamid.

but if he is not captured then blame ISI, Pakistan and Zahid Hamid.

win- win situation eh...

more drug trade under the NATO protection... blame ISI
90% corruption and money laundering ..... blame ISI
American Kill Squads. collecting dead Afghan body parts.... blame ISI
Quran Burning .... blame ISI
disregard the Pashtons .... blame the ISI
Taliban egg you in the face... Blame ISI

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

well in Pakistan's case it's been damned if we do damned if we dont for over the past decade.....

as i said in another thread (maybe it was this one)


geography has been to our benefit AS MUCH as it has been much to our peril
