USA bodyguards to protect President Zardari

Reviewing security: Proposal seeks US guards for president​

ISLAMABAD: In the backdrop of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s murder by his own police guard, a proposal is under consideration that will bring in special security guards from the United States for President Asif Ali Zardari, according to highly-placed sources.
While the security of President Zardari has always been cause of serious concern for the authorities, a larger proposal is also under consideration by the government to hire the services of foreign security guards for a number of VVIPs including the prime minister, provincial governors, chief ministers, and a few federal ministers, the source told The Express Tribune requesting anonymity.
The proposals come as a part of the government’s decision to review security arrangements of important personalities following the shocking assassination of Taseer, which validated fears that religious extremism had penetrated the ranks of security forces in Pakistan. “An overhaul in the present security system has been recommended as an essential requirement by the authorities responsible for the safety and well-being of the VVIPs,” the source claimed.
On a number of occasions, the president himself has been quoted to have said in the presence of US diplomats and officials that his life was in danger. He has also been quoted to have instructed his son, Bilawal, the chairman of the party, to name his sister Faryal Talpur as the president in case he was killed.
The fear about the presence of extremist ideology in the forces has long been around. It surfaced a few years ago when the involvement of personnel of the Pakistan Air Force and Army in two unsuccessful attempts on the life of the then president Gen. Pervez Musharraf came to light.
Then, a young major who had joined the Taliban in the past year after resigning from Pakistan Army was interrogated by security agencies for his alleged links with Faisal Shahzad, the man who plotted last year’s unsuccessful Times Square bombing.
Meanwhile, the police department in Islamabad has collected detailed data of its personnel after the assassination of Taseer in Islamabad. The data includes the religious leanings of its personnel and also their family background in terms of affiliations with religious organisations.
Authorities plan to ultimately purge the department of suspect elements. In this regard, it is learnt that a few police personnel have already been removed from the security set-up.
Such data collection is also being recommended for the police departments of other provinces.
At present, an army unit, the infamous 111 Brigade, is deployed at the Presidency for the security of the president, while police guards are deployed around the four boundary walls of the Aiwan-e-Sadr. However, President Zardari has engaged many private guards from Sindh for his personal security – reflecting a distrust of government-provided security arrangements. There is now a proposal to install US security guards in the inner-most security cordon, the source said.

A president who loses faith in its own people that he has to seek security from foreign country dont ve moral right to lord over the people of his own country.

 

[Rafael]

The people who cannot provide security to the very people who they rule, don't deserve any security themselves. Rot in Hell Mr. ******* President!

i think - this will only dent the image of paksitan , he need to review his decision - this makes him seem like puppet to us .

 

[Muhammad-Bin-Qasim]

The title made me laugh... This is overkill...

It gives a hint as to how desperate the Americans must be to keep their man alive and in power... Oh wait a second... Zardari's loyalty lies somewhere else...

MBQ looks at London on the map... LOL

This guy has no basis to be president the first place. This is beauty of this ****** democracy that even people like Zardari can become presidents. Holy $hit!

 

[P.kid]

If something was going to happen to him by his own bodygaurds then it would've happened a long time ago. He's a corrupted guy and even his bodygaurds would probably know that.

IMO everyone has got a time set for there death. Its just to the almighty when the time comes... If you believe in God then you'll know what I mean.

 

[Haseebullah]

This simply shows he has no faith in the religion he is leading.He is the leader of ISLAMIC Republic of Pakistan,and yet we have chosen a man who doesn't fit the criteria to rule us.A Muslim ruler should be selected on the level of his faith and we can see where his stands.
I would be more than happy to protect the American who kills this idiot.

 

[Frankenstein]

Because such Privileges are only for the American citizens

You suck Mr. Zardari

 

[Xestan]

Isn't SSG responsible for the security of the President?

 

[Hulk]

If true, this is very bad news.
1) It is the president himself that is telling the world how bad Pakistan has become.
2) It also means Zardari is saying Pakistan is moving in direction of Afghanistan. (Since Karzai has US guards) Prettly much stamping Af-P@K.

Note these are not my views, but conclusion from what he is doing, so bash him not me if you get offended.
