Pak determined to eradicate menace of terrorism: Gilani
(PTI) Expressing dissatisfaction over the law and order situation in Pakistan, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani today underlined his government's commitment to fight terrorism."Yeah! They're really gonna get it! Just you wait and see!" Chairing a meeting of his cabinet here, Gilani stressed the "need for stringent measures with utmost vigour and strategy to eradicate the menace of terrorism from society".  Omar Saeed Sheikh's still alive. He's the Kandahar hijack laddy, who killed Daniel Pearl. He's been in jug for six years, going through appeal after appeal, probably with a "spectacular escape" in his future.He also called for an "effective strategy to deal with terrorist incidents in a more coordinated manner" to provide an environment of peace and security to the people.  Hafiz Saeed, the head of Jamaat-ud-Dawa and the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba is not only still alive, he's free as a bird and respected throughout the Land of the Pure. His boyoz are making special guest appearances in the mosques of Peshawar, preaching jihad, rolling their eyes and hollering "death to the infidel" whilst looking just as fearsome as can be. His collection boxes are freely available for the An official statement said Gilani, "while expressing dissatisfaction over the overall law and order situation in the country, has reaffirmed the government's commitment to fight terrorism".  Masood Azar is also at large. He's a member of the Supreme Council of Global Jihad and the head of Jaish-e-Mohammad, the most prominent Deobandi terrorist organization, and its several false nose and moustache organizations. He was one of the hard boyz freed in Omar's Kandahar hijack operation.While discussing law and order, he said "criminals do not have any ground to stand on (and) therefore they must be pursued in the hottest way. The law of the jungle cannot be allowed to persist as we are deeply concerned about the life and property of the people of Pakistan."  Sufi Mohammad, head of the TNSM that turned Swat from a fairly peaceful tourist destinaiton into a source of refugees and mindless violence, was released from jug for "health reasons." His son-in-law, Mullah Fazlullah, remains at large and doesn't appear to be pursued with any specific vigor even while the Mighty Pak Army is "suppressing" his minions. Fazlullah's issued edicts declaring girls' education 'un-Islamic' and declaring polio vaccination un-Islamic. He operates an illegal FM radio station that exhorts the faithful to jihad against the government and that's apparently impervious to radio direction finding.Referring to Saturday's deadly suicide attack on the Marriott Hotel that killed 53 people, including Czech Ambassador Ivo Zdarek, and injured 266, Gilani said: "Today's cabinet (meeting) is haunted by the legacy of the Marriott Hotel suicide bombing." The meeting offered prayers for the dead and observed a minute's silence for the foreigners who died in the attack.  On various occasions we've given the Paks Mullah Omar's address and probably his phone number in Quetta. We know when and very likely where Mullah Omar's Quetta Shura meets, and we know when and very likely where Jalaluddin Haqqani's Northern Shura meets. We have a handle on where Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's headquarters and staff are in FATA. Every now and then there's a report that bin Laden is "hiding" in Pak territory and those reports are always immediately and firmly denied even in the face of evidence to the contrary. NWFP and FATA are crawling with Arabs, Uzbeks, Chechens, and similar Islamic lice. U.S. drone strikes, that rouse indignation -- and calls for jihad -- among Pak legislators routinely eject this or that Qaeda big turban from the gene pool, including any number of Qaeda Numbah Threes. In the case of the first strike on Damadola we almost got Zawahiri. When big turbans are snagged it's often not from NWFP but from Pak's big cities: Abu Zubaydah from Faisalabad, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad in Rawalpindi, Ramzi bin al-Shibh and Tawfiq Attash Kallad in Karachi, just off the top of my head. I joke every now and then about Binny living in Qazi's guest house -- but it's not really a joke. Probably he's got a house in a nice neighborhood in Faisalabad or someplace like that, with a garden and a driver, and he commutes to his command post -- probably in Chitral, at the end of the highway and a little beyond, that you just never hear about in the news -- for major operations. It's entirely likely that, clean shaven and un-beturbanned, wearing a neat business suit and a rep tie, he routinely flies Pak Airlines or Saudia to visit friends and relatives and to attend this or that wedding or funeral as "Abdul Rehman" or "Mr. Abdullah." The members of the cabinet desired that "stern action" must be taken by law enforcing agencies as "their intelligence agencies are failing miserably to lay hands on the perpetrators" of attacks. Failing miserably and failing intentionally, I'd say. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-25 |
