Pak President Admits Creating Terrorist Groups
 [Telegraph] Pakistain's president has admitted his country created terrorist groups to help achieve its foreign policy goals.
"Let us be truthful to ourselves and make a candid admission of the realities," he said. "The hard boyz of today were the heroes of yesteryears until 9/11 occurred and they began to haunt us as well." These groups were not thrown up because of government weakness, but as a matter of policy. He said they were deliberately "created and nurtured" as a policy to achieve some short-term tactical objectives. His comments amount to an admission that Pakistain trained Islamic hard boyz to launch attacks on India as part of its long war over its claim on Kashmire.  It came as at least 40 people were killed in a suspected US missile strike in north-west Pakistain.Three US drones are believed to have fired missiles at Death Eaters near Ladha in South Wazoo. It is the third strike in two days and follows strikes in which 19 reportedly died. Mr Zardari first confirmed that many of the Islamic Death Eaters now waging war against his government were once "strategic assets" in an interview with the Daily Telegraph earlier this week. "I don't think anybody in the establishment supports them any more. I think everybody has become more wise than this," he said and confirmed the military was now targeting those it had previously used as proxies in attacks on India. Islamic bad turban groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... and Jaish-e-Mohammed, have long been regarded as Pakistain proxy forces by diplomats and intelligence services but Islamabad has, until now, always denied any links. The LeT is believed to have been created to fight with the Afghan Mujahideen against the former Soviet-backed Najibullah regime in Kabul and to attack Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmire. It is believed to have been responsible for the commando attack on Delhi's Red Fort in December in which two soldiers and a civilian were killed. It was involved with another Pakistain-backed terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed in the 2001 attack on the Indian parliament before it was banned by Islamabad in 2002. Pakistain hard boyz were also behind the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines jet which forced the Indian government to release three jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... bad turbans, including Masood Azhar, the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Omar Saeed Sheikh, who was later set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! for the murder of Daniel Pearl. The Indian government believes links between Islamabad and these terrorist groups remain intact and prime minister Manmohan Singh has accused elements within Pakistain's security apparatus of aiding the Lashkar-e-Taiba's commando attack on Mumbai last November.
