US weighs blacklisting Haqqani network
By AFP
Published: September 27, 2011

WASHINGTON: The Obama administration is considering placing the Haqqani network on its list of terror groups after blaming the militants for deadly attacks in Afghanistan, a US official said Monday.
Seven leaders of the Haqqani network, which operates from safe havens in Pakistan and was founded by former CIA asset Jalaluddin Haqqani and is run by his son Sirajuddin, have been placed under US sanctions since 2008.
The top US military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, directly accused Pakistan’s intelligence service on Thursday of supporting the Haqqani network’s attack on the US embassy in Kabul, a truck bombing on a NATO outpost and a June attack on Kabul’s InterContinental hotel.
Sangeen Zadran, Sirajuddin and Badruddin Haqqani have been designated by the State Department, while the Treasury has targeted four other Haqqani leaders: Nasiruddin Haqqani, Khalil Haqqani, Ahmed Jan Wazir and Fazl Rabi.
“Certainly FTO (foreign terrorist organization) designation is something under review,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.
“But the idea that we haven’t gone after the Haqqani Network at all I think is a mischaracterization.”
Washington has asked Islamabad in vain to launch on offensive in the restive tribal region of North Waziristan, a Haqqani bastion bordering Afghanistan.
“We believe that these kind of safe havens are extremely troubling and indeed a matter of great concern and dangerous development for both the United States and for Pakistan. So we want to see action taken against them,” Toner said.
The spokesman acknowledged “very clear challenges” in the US relationship with Pakistan, but insisted that President Barack Obama’s administration was committed to “working constructively” with Islamabad.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has called a rare cross-party conference for Thursday, although he dismissed the American allegations as little more than finding a scapegoat for US “disarray” in Afghanistan.
And his army chief scrapped a visit to London on Monday as Islamabad refused to bow to mounting US demands for action against the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani extremists.
The alliance between Pakistan and the United States in the 10-year war in Afghanistan and against al Qaeda hit rock bottom this year in the wake of the unilateral American raid that killed Osama bin Laden near Islamabad on May 2.

For a long time both have been at opposite poles of each other. However, to attain their goals in the region they both needed this "forced partnership" and kept the word "ally" in the air to keep the respective people of each country from shouting out to go to war with that country.

In true sense, they were never allies. And became rather enemy states with partnership on different fronts.

Oh one more thing - Pakistan has to be blamed for the major part of it, as it always had the capacity to contain those who harmed the US, but it never did really contain any.

While somewhat cooperating tactically and logistically, Pakistan has set its regional strategic goals in opposition to those of the U.S. - and deceived the U.S. about it for years. Aren't these the actions of BOTH an ally and an enemy?

deceived? when did exactly Pakistan deceive you?

Pakistan has to look for its own interests and goals, usa is gonna flee from afghanistan and that will be the happy ending for you guys, but Pakistan has to stay there.

actually usa deceived Pakistan, your government deceived Pakistani civilians.
your government supports corrupt leaders who dont care what happens in the country and poor people die. That is a good ally right?

you kill innocents in drone attacks and wish that Pakistanis respect you, you violate our sovereignty and you want us to HELP you in WoT.

Pakistan has suffered most from the war, 35000 plus people have been killed, how many died in 9/11?.

9/11 was a terrorist attack that's why so many people died, but an ALLY killed thousands of innocents for what.



your fking government is doing all this for oil and nothing else, and i think 9/11 was inside job believe it or not.

 

[Solomon2]

...i think 9/11 was inside job believe it or not.

I believe you. Why should you be respected for holding dear patently false analyses? Isn't it time for Pakistan to junk such garbage?

Enemies. Better.

We can't be friends with the backstabbers.
Nor do we trust the two faced person, trying to be the master of the world.

We mean it.
And you, call us friends, then come to our border for invasion, and stand back in fear of a iron response from PAF.
PAF has been carrying out CAPS and mordern survillance systems are brought to the border. With modern jets brought from other Squadrons, and ADA on red alert, we mean what we say. We will reply you with an iron fist, breaking your face, and ah, finally giving you one face left. The face you wont be able to show the world. As for India, its gonna be hit too incase of war, so would be Israel from Turkey. I see a Arab-US-Israel-India war in the attack.

Lucky for them, the cowards dont dare to step a foot on our soil.

The puppet government or elements in Pakistan may be friends or slaves of the US but the people of Pakistan don't see America as a friend. The public is not as stupid as the one you find in the USA who eat what grass is fed to them like sheep on holiday in the next field.

As for Israel, Pakistan doesn't even recognise this crusader entity and rightly so because it won't exist in 50 years time.

The corrupt leaders like zardari who has invested his money in america they are americas allies. The innocent ordinary pakistans hate american and american govt hates them and bribes zardari types. So thats it no confusion at all

Why has this media campaign started now for an incident that happened in 2007....
Why suddenly the focus is on Pakistan...
Is this all for public brain washing like you guys did for Iraq's WMD....
Or is USA govt trying to hide their incompetencies in handling the situation in AFG by shifting the blame on Pak by saying they are not an ally but an enemy....
