RAW hand visible in terrorism
KARACHI Solid proof of involvement of the Indian spy agency, Research Analysis Wing (RAW), in sponsoring and fuelling terrorism has come to surface after Pakistani investigators have found Indian origin explosives used in recent acts of terrorism in Pakistan. TheNation has learnt through various official sources that Indian made explosives were used for the blasts that occurred in the FIA building in Lahore and Marriott Hotel Islamabad. Following the revelations, the intelligence agencies have directed all concerned law enforcement agencies to keep up the surveillance of Hindu populated areas in the country.
According to the reports, intelligence agencies have also got tangible evidence of Indian Taliban carrying out terrorism activities across the country.The sources, on request of anonymity, said that the containers carrying goods, weaponry and other stuff for Allied Forces stationed in Afghanistan are neither checked at the time of leaving the port nor at the time of their return, by Pakistani authorities.The sources added that these empty containers, on their return, bring arms and explosives to Pakistan. It was revealed that in April last, the containers loaded with eggs imported from India bound for Kandahar and Kabul also carried arms and explosive materials.
This happened a week after three of the nine containers along with the truck they were loaded were found parked at Hazar Ganji Truck Stand in Quetta. The alien odour emanating from the containers attracted attention of the people at the truck stand and when the containers were opened 46 dead and 60 unconscious people, all Afghan of various ethnic backgrounds, were recovered.
The revelation helped the intelligence agencies in solving the perplexing puzzle of procurement of such huge quantities of explosives, which were used by militants in carrying out massive explosions at FIA headquarters in Lahore, Marriot Hotel Islamabad and in various other tragic incidents. We had evidence even in 2006 that detonators manufactured by Indian companies were used in bomb explosions - both suicide and planted - making us believe that India was sending explosives and weapons to the militants in NWFP and Balochistan, a security official told from Islamabad on condition of not to be mentioned his name or official position.
The same official says that the information that Indian intelligence agencies had leaked to the Indian media about theft of more than 20 thousand kilograms of RDX explosive, 85 thousand detonators and more than 50 thousand meters of detonators fuse in 2006, left no doubt in the minds of the Pakistan security apparatus that the same explosive was smuggled to Pakistan via Afghanistan.
SSP Operation Crime Investigation Department(CID), Fayyaz Khan, when contacted said that 150 kilograms explosive found in Karachi was manufactured by an Indian company, revealed the connection of India with militants. He disclosed that the arrested militants have confessed that the explosive was sent to Karachi from Waziristan and Qari Hussain Mehsud a notorious commander of TTP suicidal squad had delivered this huge quantity of explosive to the militants.
Qari Hussain Mehsud, a known commander of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and considered a mastermind of a number of terrorist attacks carried out inside the county and also familiar for his expertise in preparation of suicide jackets, explosive laden vehicles and other sorts of bombs.
SSP Khan explained that we have evidence that proves the involvement of RAW in terrorism in Pakistan, as detonators, explosive being used by Baloch insurgents in Balochistan and Sindh are manufactured by Indian companies.
Apart from the supply of explosives and weaponry to the insurgents groups of Sindh and Balochistan, RAW has also been training insurgents and using them in deadly attacks in Pakistan.
Interior Ministry has directed the concerned law enforcement and intelligence agencies to keep up surveillance of the areas where minorities (Hindus) are residing in majority. It has also directed them to check out the details of residents and collect the details of their relatives.A source privy to the matter told TheNation that agencies have also got the information about the arrival of RAW agents in Pakistan though various bordering areas under anonymous covers who have spread out in different areas of the country. Source highlighted that mostly agents of RAW use the cover of worshippers and move towards the different sites of their worship places.
On the other side, a senior operative of TTP, introducing himself as Shakeel Mujahid, presently in Karachi, declined the allegations of coward bombings against innocents while saying that international agencies have made inroads inside the country and they usually carry out such kind of terrorist activities to defame Taliban. He pointed out that a number of undercover agents dispatched by RAW have been nabbed in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
He cited an example from Swat where a cleric leading a splinter group of TTP was intercepted by their operatives on some suspicious activities and later handed over to the government by the inhabitants of Swat. Evidence was found from his place which revealed that the cleric of Swat was actually from Afghanistan and was an old cadre of Taliban. He also explained that the said cleric was behind the bombing in schools and hospitals, which is against the policy of TTP.
We have nothing to do with Pakistan, we are fighting against allied forces, forcibly occupying Afghanistan and having removed the Taliban regime he said adding that in Pakistan, we are fighting in our self-defence and against the security forces - those who have been fulfilling the agenda of America and trying to stop Jihad in Afghanistan.
