| Afghan Analysts Say Afridi Treatment Proves Pakistan's Guilt |
| 2012-05-27 |
| [Tolo News] Afghan commentators said that the 33-year jail term for the Pak doctor who worked with the US to track down the late Osama bin Laden ... who is no longer with us, and won't be again... is indicative of Pakistain's complicity with terrorism. Shakil Afridi was instrumental in helping the US Central Intelligence Agency verify the Al Qaeda leader's identity and residence in Pakistain's Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... by launching a fake vaccination program. He was tossed in the slammer Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Pakistain last year and sentenced by a tribal court last week to 33 years jail for treason. Afghan analysts hailed the sentencing as proof of the support Pakistain lends to terrorism. "With this action, Pakistain proved that it supports global and regional terrorism, and it shows that regional spy agencies still have strong ties to myrmidons," Kabul University law professor Nasrullah Stanikzai told TOLOnews. Afghan military expert General Noorulhq Olomi believes that the Pakistain government is trying to redeem its own intelligence agency in the eyes of its people by taking this action. "Pakistain is trying to rescue the ISI from its people's criticism for protecting Osama bin Laden," he said. "But by committing national treason, he [Afridi] rescued the world from terrorism." Bin Laden was killed in a US special operation at the Garrison Abbottabad near the Pak capital Islamabad last year. The attack was massively criticised by Pakistain officials and its parliament, with diplomatic relations between it and the US hitting new lows since the start of US' "war on terror". |
