RAW's probable involvement in shrine blast being probed
2005-05-30
While many theories have surfaced thus far about the terrorist act at Bari Imam shrine situated near the Prime Minister's House and the diplomatic enclave in Islamabad on Friday, the official circles are seriously probing into the reported tip-off regarding the probability of the involvement of Indian premier foreign intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
Yeah. Sure. Knew it was them all the time.
The notion of the Indian influence in Bari Imam episode is also substantiated by the reports that the Indian forces have stepped up their operations inside Occupied Kashmir and elsewhere. While the mode of the attack can be confused with the Al-Qaeda trademark suicide bombings, it must also not be forgotten that the RAW is alleged to have recruited a good number of Tamil suicide terrorists for contingency plans in case the entire exercise in peace building according to its own interpretation fails.
A little projection going on here?
Even though forensic experts have so far not come up with definite identification of the alleged suicide bomber, his dark colour and built is said to further support the thesis. According to the reports, RAW has about 1,2000 assets (operatives) invested in its immediate neighbourhood, a lion's share of which is quite obviously been deployed in Pakistan. RAW as a body is not answerable to the Parliament of democratic India and its head reports directly to the Prime Minister. Again there does not exist any clear system of agency's finances that are contributed on discretionary basis by a host of government bodies, which include the Indian embassies in the countries of operation.
