India's Revenge: RAW Attacks Cricketers in Pakistan

[notsuperstitious]

to add, LTTE is a designated terrorist org in 32 countries. India was the first one to designate them terrorist org

Just goes to show LTTE's desperation.

I hope PAK govt comes out with their report soon, backed with evidence, to end the speculation.

ISLAMABAD, March 5: Investigators are zeroing in on the footprints of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), according to preliminary investigations by the Joint Investigation Team probing Tuesday’s attack on Sri Lankan cricketers at Lahore’s Liberty Chowk.

Sketchy details of the initial probe suggest that a group of headstrong Lashkar activists, who went underground and remained in hiding in Rawalpindi after the crackdown on Lashkar and Jamaatud Dawa in December, had acted on their own and carried out the attack.

Although officials would not confirm the involvement of Lashkar, they categorically ruled out the possibility of involvement of the Indian spy agency RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) or the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as no evidence has been found so far pointing in their direction.

At least eight people, six policemen among them, were killed after 12 gunmen attacked the bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers to Qadhafi Stadium. The attack has killed hopes of any international sports events in Pakistan for months, if not years, and seriously damaged Pakistan’s reputation to host any international sporting event, including the 2011 Cricket World Cup.

The prime minister’s adviser on interior, Rehman Malik, refused to comment on the investigations when asked. “At this moment I can only say that investigations into the Lahore attack are going in the right direction. We have also involved the National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) to determine the identity of the attackers,” he

[Bull]

Why were these guys who planned this never thought about a car bomb which was less riskier ?

They send in foot soldiers as they knew they had to be in control of things and didnt want to get the players killed. A car bomb wouldnt have gave them this control. And moreover dressing them like 26/11 attackers, Pakistan wanted the the world to buy ikts ' we both are victims of terrorism' and also successfully prove these guys were enemies of Pakistan and not supported by GoP.


So with this GoP has managed to kill two birds with one stone. WoW.

You're reading it wrong. No evidence has been found tracing it to RAW or LTTE, yet.

The RAW links and LTTTE links are still very much there.

Pakistan has yet to investigate either.

When the investigation starts, you will then know how much was planned in India

 

[Awesome]

Would you guys believe Rahman Malik?

Pakistan denies India behind Lahore attack - The Long War Journal

Pakistan's minister of the interior backtracked on yesterday's claim that a "foreign hand" was behind the brazen assault on the Sri Lankan cricket team.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters that there was no evidence of Indian involvement in the attack that killed six policemen and wounded eight members of the cricket team, the Press Trust of India reported. Malik also said the Sri Lankan-based Tamil Tigers and the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba were not involved in the attack. He would not rule out al Qaeda involvement.

Malik had previously said "the involvement of foreign hands in the incident cannot be ruled out," and reports indicate he had directly accused India in a report to the FBI.

"Pakistani officials claim that their Indian counterparts organised the attack in a plot to isolate Pakistan and exclude it as a joint host for the 2011 Cricket World Cup," the Telegraph reported.

Pakistani intelligence sources told The Nation that the Research and Analysis Wing, India's intelligence service better known as RAW, funded and trained the attackers.

The terrorists were imparted training by Indian Agency RAW at the Indian Consulate in Afghanistan," The Nation reported. "The terrorists were provided highly sophisticated and deadly weapons in large quantity by RAW though its agents in Pakistan." Three Nigerians, three Uzbeks, and an Afghan were reportedly among those captured who had links to Indian intelligence.

India's home minister said the accusations were "complete rubbish" and urged Pakistan to act against the multitude of terror groups operating on Pakistani soil.

Pakistani police have since released sketches of four of the 12 attackers. One of the rickshaw drivers whose vehicle was used by some of the attackers to flee the scene of the attack said the men "were local people, who were communicating in Punjabi."

Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer told reporters that the government knows who conducted the attack and would release the information on March 6.

"We have identified the people who did the operation," Taseer said, according to Geo News. "We have a lot of information. We have arrested many people, rounded up some suspects, but the final investigation will be presented to me tomorrow (Friday); till then I am not in a position to say more."

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack; however, the strike is similar to a wave of military-styled assaults by al Qaeda-linked terror groups against civilian targets in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Yemen. The most recent attack took place in Kabul, where what is believed to be a Haqqani Network cell assaulted the Justice and Education ministries as well as the Prisons Directorate headquarters. The deadly November 2008 terror assault on the Indian financial capital of Mumbai also was carried out by a well-armed, well trained assault squad from the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The Taliban, al Qaeda, the Haqqani Network, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, and a host of Pakistani jihadi terror groups have joined forces to battle both the Pakistani military in the Northwest Frontier Province and the NATO and Afghan forces in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda has revived its paramilitary army, formerly known as the 055 Brigade and now known as the Lashkar al Zil, or Shadow Army. The Shadow Army contains fighters from each of these terror groups, and trains in camps in the Northwest Frontier Province and the tribal areas.

GoP hasn't officially blamed RAW, rather has urged restraint on any blame game.

We're merely speculating upon the Chief Suspect of this heinous crime.

If you are speculating then you should have a question mark at the end of it.

That title's taken from the 1st link I posted on the thread.

I'm ready for any evidence of innocence that RAW may provide. But so far things seem to be heading in India's direction. There is even some speculation how these guys came from Pakpattan, via Amritsar.

Now this is something I am hearing for the first time. Evidence of innocence? Is that really RAW's responsibility to prove anything??

 

[Torpedo]

You're reading it wrong. No evidence has been found tracing it to RAW or LTTE, yet.

The RAW links and LTTTE links are still very much there.

If you know everything, why don't you go to the investigators and stop them from giving statements? You like it or not, but you have missed the train.

You tell me to wait until the 'investigation' starts. So, what EXACTLY are they doing right now?

AFTER these official statements, poor attempts to drag RAW into the scene are nothing but child's cries.

I have respect for you. But you are dying to eat that out.

May true perhaps the reason why investigation of FBI was rejected and Zardari demanded investigations by UN on BB's killing. Scotland yard did investigate that time.

Rings bell ?

 

[iamunique]

Phew! The way our Pakistani friends are hell bent on making this look like a copycat attack by India (RAW) in reponse to 26/11, I'm glad they haven't said that the terrorists "came from Pakpattan, via Amritsar by boat !!

 

[Bull]

That title's taken from the 1st link I posted on the thread..

What ever.

I'm ready for any evidence of innocence that RAW may provide. .

Thats a stupid request. What do you mean by evidence of innocence. Its the accusor and not the accused who has to show the proof.

But so far things seem to be heading in India's direction. There is even some speculation how these guys came from Pakpattan, via Amritsar.

You seem to coming back again and again with the Indian angle, when the GOP and your newspaper has quoted reports saying as of now there is no clues pointing towards India, while the clues they have collected till now point towards LeT.

Where did you hear things are heading in Indian direction? Link? I have posted mine from an Pakistani newspaper.

 

[Bull]

You're reading it wrong. No evidence has been found tracing it to RAW or LTTE, yet.

The RAW links and LTTTE links are still very much there

Can you clarify please what means links are there but no evidence ???

Pakistan has yet to investigate either.
When the investigation starts, you will then know how much was planned in India

What are you doing till now? For so long?

Why did the DAWN report the following?

"Investigators are zeroing in on the footprints of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), according to preliminary investigations by the Joint Investigation Team"

Your Govt is saying clues point towards LeT and still you guys are in denial.

Even with abundant clues you guys have denied
US Reports - Indian Reports - NATO Reports and now GoP list.

 

[Bull]

Would you guys believe Rahman Malik?

Dont believe anyone, not even your government.
