| 2009-08-04 |
| [Dawn] Highly placed Interior Ministry sources told DawnNews that action has been taken by Islamabad following a statement by the Afghan Interior Minister that the Afghan President did not admit that there existed militant training camps in Afghanistan. The source said lists of suspected camps have been prepared and would be handed over to Kabul within twenty four hours. The lists also contain information about Indian involvement in such activities on Afghan soil against Pakistan. Talking to DawnNews, Interior Minister Rehman Malik strongly refuted the statement of his Afghan counter-part. Rehman Malik said that during his meeting with Hamid Karzai two weeks ago, he did discuss terrorist camps, and the Afghan President assured him that action would be taken. Pakistan has prapared lists of terrorist training camp being operated from Afghan soil for carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan. |

| #4 Does this mean that there are going to be a bunch of training camps that better pay the protection fee to the ISI or they'll get fingered? |

| #3 Not necessarily. Pak always points the finger at the "foreign hand" behind its troubles. In this case it's the the Baloch militants who occasionally bump some Frontier Corps guys off or cut the Sui gas line. These are, naturally, supposed to be organized, financed and trained by the Heathen Hindoo, using camps -- similar to the ones that don't exist on Pakistain -- in Afghanistan. You have to keep up with your Pak mythology or you'll end up believing some of the things they say. Once you start that it's all downhill. In a couple weeks you're believing eight impossible things before breakfast and shopping for a turban. |

| #1 Let me get this straight - terrorists are being trained OUTSIDE Pakistan and sent INTO Pakistan? Isn't that like sending coal to Newcastle? |
