On May 1 this year, a car loaded with fireworks, petrol, propane and fertiliser was discovered in New Yorks Times Square. On May 3, American law-enforcement officials arrested a Pakistani-born US citizen, Faisal Shahzad suspected for the failed attempt, revealing that he attended a terror training camp in Pakistan. On May 2, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the foiled Times Square attempt and its leader Hakeemullah Mehsud, appeared in videos on the internet, threatening suicide attacks on major US citizens. Notably, on May 6, TTP has denied any involvement in relation to the Times Square event saying: We have no connection with Faisal Shahzad. This contradiction in the statements indicates that it was individual act of Faisal Shahzad, while he had no link with a terrorist group. This fact has also been verified by the US General David Petraeus who said that the Times Square bombing suspect is a lone wolf who did not work with others. Gen Petraeus further disclosed that the alleged bomber, Faisal Shahzad, was inspired by terrorists in Pakistan, but did not have direct contact with them.
The fact of the matter is that the failed attempt at the Times Square was a conspiracy against Pakistan. In this regard, agents of the Indian secret agency RAW and those of the Israeli Mossad who are well-penetrated in the American CIA have prepared that plot in order to achieve a number of designs against Islamabad. If we go through the reports of Indian media, Reuters and other western news agencies, we can witness in connection with Times Square device that it was a trick to keep Pakistan under pressure and push it to go after the Haqqani network in North Waziristan. In this context, the Reuters reported, Any links between Pakistans Taliban and a failed bombing in New Yorks Times Square could put the country under renewed US pressure to open risky new fronts against Islamic militants. Now, US counter-terrorism officials and investigators are trying to create a link between Faisal Shahzad and the TTP, while some officials of the western countries are also doing the same. However, another purpose of the failed incident was to instigate Washington to accelerate the drone strikes on Pakistans tribal areas.
In the recent past, Pakistans armed forces achieved successes in the Swat-Malakand and South Waziristan operations by breaking the backbone of the Taliban militants. These military operations were highly appreciated by the western leaders, especially those of the US. Thus good image of Pakistan was restored in the western countries which have given million dollars to Islamabad. In this respect, Times Square episode could be part of a conspiracy to tarnish the image of Pakistan which it has earned by decimating the terrorists infrastructure and strongholds. It looks to be an artifice to de-track the Obama Administration which has been releasing economic and military aid for Islamabad to overcome its economic difficulties and also to equip the Pakistan Army to effectively take on the militants. Particularly, Indian sinister designs against Pakistan could be judged from the statement of its defence minister who warned the US on May 7 against providing military supplies to Pakistan, saying the hardware could be diverted to target India. The warning came after Washington in March made it clear that it would deliver unarmed drones to Pakistan and less than a month after, it unveiled plans to transfer $600 million to Islamabad to pay for anti-terrorist operations.
It is notable that in the recent past, Pakistan gained much success through the London Conference and the Pak-US strategic dialogue which frustrated Indians. In this respect, India which left no stone unturned in isolating Pakistan diplomatically had failed to manipulate the Mumbai carnage of November 26 in maligning Islamabad.
Nevertheless, especially, Indian RAW with the tactical support of Mossad and CIA agents played a key role in motivating Faisal Shahzad to seek revenge against Americans. In this regard, RAW indirectly used so-called Indian Muslim scholars for brain-washing and indoctrination of Faisal. Occupation of Afghanistan coupled with air and ground shelling by the US-led forces including drone attacks on Pakistan, resulting in larger casualties of the innocent persons was enough to motivate Faisal Shahzad against America. Besides, some other aim of the Times Square act was that India wanted to increase the difficulties of Pakistanis, living in the United States, and intended to ensure their arrests, detentions and tortures under the pretext of the suspected persons.
It is of particular attention as to how the suspected Faisal was able to drive the car all the way to Times Square, and as to why American agencies failed to check the car on the way? And when he reached the destination, what stopped him from carrying out the explosion? All this indicates that the main purpose behind was again to bring Pakistan into global limelight as a terrorist state, while it was the individual act of a non-state actor and no official involvement of Islamabad was proved.
In the recent days, a number of developments occurred with rapid succession which particularly show that New Delhi and its intelligence agency, RAW are conspiring against Pakistan by discrediting the latter on each and every occasion. In the end of April, Madhuri Gupta, a second secretary in Indian High Commission in Islamabad was arrested on charges of spying for Pakistans spy agency ISI. She was accused of having visited the border area in Jammu and Kashmir and stayed with a doctor couple on March 28 and 29, this year. One fails to understand that when Indian spy agency had the information one month ago, why it was kept as secret only to be released at the time of SAARC Summit which was held in Thimpu, Bhutan on April 28-29, this year. Notably, before the SAARC Summit, the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai visited New Delhi so as to get briefing from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and he spoke in line of the speech of Singh at the Summit.
Although, Indian media had published reports of Madhuri Guptas relations with a Pakistani, yet Indian officials said they did not have exact information on the kind of relationship the diplomat had with the doctor family. She was accused of passing sensitive information to Pakistan. Close on the heels of the arrest of Madhuri Gupta, another Indian official, a senior police officer of the Tamil cadre, posted as an attaché in the Indian high commission at Islamabad has also been called back on suspicion of spying against New Delhi. Nonetheless, there were contradictions in Indian governments statements regarding these two diplomats. In fact, RAW fabricated false allegations against its own diplomats as part of a pre-planned scheme against Pakistan. Meanwhile, on May 6, Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks was sentenced to death. The timings of these developments can not be seen in isolation; they are inter-related and even have links with the Times Square plot against Pakistan.
Recently, Indian Minister for External Affairs S M Krishna announced that he would speak to his counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi soon after the end of the session of the Indian Parliament. According to Indian daily, The Hindu, these interactions were agreed upon by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in Thimphu to address the trust deficit between the two countries. A few days ago, Pakistans Foreign Minister Quereshi admitted that the US and EU pressurized India to conduct dialogue with Pakistan. In the recent past, the Indian opposition, particularly the BJP critcised remarking that New Delhi has softened its stance on terrorism and conducted secretary-level talks with Pakistan under the duress of America. Now one of the important aims of the Time Squares conspiracy coupled with already mentioned developments is not only to create foreign pressure on Islamabad, but is also to strengthen Indian bargaining position and to get leverage on various issues, especially the Indian-occupied Kashmir during talks with Pakistan. In this context, India could also use delaying tactics in settling the various issues with Islamabad.
Renowned political scholars like Machiavelli and Morgenthau remark that in international politics, sometimes leaders and rulers have to choose between the lesser evil and the greater evil, while using unfair means. And in these circumstances, deceit and fraud become the principles of international morality. In this connection, Times Square conspiracy against Pakistan should not come as a surprise move. Indian RAW with the support of Mossad and CIA has prepared it in order to achieve multiple purposes against Islamabad.
