Investigators fail to decode arrested FBI agent's devices

[Amaa'n]

They returned him, as expected. This is nothing like the tragic previous incident that was mentioned. Certainly he was working with some level of the Pakistani government who knew he was there, which wasn't shared with local police (very common).

However, he should be in hot water at home. He should respect the laws of Pakistan or any host country while he is there. Counting on back-channels to free you is a waste of a favor, and erases what little image the US has in Pakistan.

Logically thinking, the guy did not do anything wrong, as the firearm was missing or the means of firing the ammo, there was no case, they had to let him go

i stopped spoon feeding to others long ago!.. help yourself bro.

So you make a claim but do not care to back it up??? I know the JD, am asking for you to read, since ypu brought it up

IB has been on its toe very recently, and you are right about that, with induction of fresh graduates at AD rank in 2012 and some Lower cadre recruitments but they still have a long way to go, IB needs to step up its game.... The biggest advantage isi had was working with CIA.....
Talking about SB then we surely need to revamp and restructure it or perhaps merge it with newly formed ATF.....

Who was DG IB in musharraf era? Didn't musharraf did same with IB what his civilian counterparts did?

The fact is IB is mostly used to harass political opponents in 90's and was under utilized/funded in war on terror. Has it been used up to it's full potential it was same agency who exposed Night Jackal Op, or was driving force in 95 Karachi cleaning Op. What I read, IB did a marvellous Job. IB is good at wiretapping, Hamid mir tape recording is testament of that.

But I agree dark side of IB is political appointments has made it very corrupt. Be it Punjab provincial Gov destabilzation in 2010 or this




Sir jee SB gher ki Shararti laundi hai . I still laugh when it's Chief the retired colonel leaked a fake report on how LHC chief justice was going to be assassinated by PPP thugs and police raided his house afterwards in defence

However a relevant link on SB

Special Branch under a cloud over working : PAK TALIBANISATION


Up to 500 officials, from constables to the assistant sub-inspectors, have been recruited in the IB for the purpose.

The newly-inducted officials are now under training at Simli Dam in Islamabad. The force’s strength is now around 3,100 after fresh induction, which sources said, was much less than what was required to deal with acts of terrorism in KP, Balochistan, Fata and other parts of the country.

Informed sources said that intelligence role of the IB in the ongoing Karachi operation and the number of arrests made by the Karachi police and Rangers had also been acknowledged by the Capital City Police Officer Karachi and the Director General of Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) at a recent high-level meeting presided over by the prime minister in Karachi.

The sources further said that political use of IB had been discouraged and the IB would now act purely as a counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence agency.

They said that a number of reforms were in the pipeline and if implemented, these would restore the previous image of the IB which had been weakened by a supreme intelligence agency of the country after the 1999 military takeover.

Under staffed, Under funded, That's why most people put responsibility on ISI. It has a whole dedicated wing to CT which must be as big as IB itself !

The ground reality is that Pakistan's Intelligence agencies don't have capabilities to decode certain electronic gadget. ISI being the supreme agency in Pakistan is required to step up if such scenario happens. Now there are two things.. either ISI is also not capable enough (which I am for) and secondly there is a severe lack of coordination between all agencies!

That is like asking askong for a favor, just like a younger brother seeking help of elder brother, otherwise going by JD then its not ISI job, such responsibility lies with FIA...
Btw i wasnt talking about decoding but catching foreign agents

oh my dear, I think you are the one who needs to read the Job Description of ISI, and while you are at it, do me a favour and also look up the JD of IB and Special Branch
