#1 Huh? Doesn't the Pak base have a tower? Don't tower personnel communicate with the pilots of any approaching flight?

This just sounds too weird.

#2 Someone pointed out that several ISI protected members of the Indian mafia live and travel between the UAE and Pakistan.

The terrorist / mafia don Dawood Ibrahim had complete freedom to move - anytime India located him and asked the UAE to detain him, Pak pressure forced the UAE to back off.

Post 9-11, the UAE cannot play this game any longer. It can tell India where to get off but not the USA.

All airports in Pakistan have US agents and equipment (linked to databases in the US) monitoring the passengers so travel from the UAE is now very dangerous.

The diversion to the PAF airbase may have been to let someone very important off, unseen by the US.
