ISI cannot be touched, says US

[KingMamba]

Fed hasnt stepped in so to say. Its offered an opinion. In USA, the govt can not dictate the merits of a case. This wont end so easy.. Even if the plaintiffs do not win this here, the appeal process will keep dragging on

Wait for the plaintiffs lawyers' response to this in next few days..

Interestingly, Fed did not say that it does not have any evidence of ISI's involvement.. but just that Pasha has immunity.. Meaning that even if he is involved in the crime, the US court can not enforce a punishment..

Any half decent American lawyer would tell you this case has little chance of getting the verdict the prosecutors are looking for.

India 'disappointed' at US immunity for Pakistan's ISI

India on Wednesday called a declaration that Pakistan's intelligence service and former chiefs enjoy immunity in a case related to the 2008 Mumbai attacks a "serious disappointment".


The Indian government has long asserted that Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency was behind the Islamist attacks which left 166 people dead -- an accusation denied by Islamabad.

The Indian statement was in response to an affidavit filed in a US court earlier in the week in which the US government said Pakistan's ISI and its former chiefs, Ahmed Shuja Pasha and Nadeem Taj, "enjoy immunity" in the Mumbai attacks.

The US affidavit is "a matter of deep and abiding concern", the Indian government statement said, noting Washington has publicly said it is committed to bringing "those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks to justice".

"The decision of the US authorities in this case is a cause of serious disappointment," said the Indian statement.

The New York federal court is hearing a case filed by US survivors of the Mumbai attacks and family members of the victims against Pasha, Taj and other ISI officials.

Leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group, including its founder Mohammed Hafiz Saeed, are also named in the suit. India has accused Pakistan's ISI of collaborating with the LeT to mount the attacks.

The US government insisted in its affidavit that Pakistan must take steps to dismantle the LeT and support India's efforts to counter militant threats, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI).

But at the same time the affidavit said, "the ISI is entitled to immunity because it is part of a foreign state", the PTI report stated.

India last month hanged Pakistani national Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving gunman of 10 attackers who raided targets including top hotels and a Mumbai railway station while holding elite Indian special forces at bay.

US is right. They have their own secretive agencies , private contractors working with immunity over there.

Heck one of the guy , davis even shot 2 ISI operatives in broad daylight and left in record time. That guy + team who attacked their check-posts all cannot be touched.

Hence US is just returning the favor , so that the nationalists can think " waaaah hamara agency super hit hai, bharti agency ekdum fail, we win, hee haaww heee haww".

Who fck are Yanks trying to fool. All that Talk against Pakistanis is horse sh!t. Only things that matters to US is that no attack is planned from Pak soil against their homeland. If Pakistanis can promise that they would not attack US , then american wouldn't mind turning blind eye to pakistani terror machinary directed against India. American have shown their true colors in that Hafiz bounty episode. We are stupid if we think yankees will save our us from pakistanis.

I love the way ISI is kicking Yankee backs by killing American soldiers in AFK. Americans deserve this for ploting against India till the late 90s.
