Although some Islamic countries publicly disfavor American
Foreign Policy as anti-Islamic, the covert support of the Americans is largely
anticipated and sought by the Islamic fundamentalists as it serves the
interests of both. The US
foreign policy, it appears, is not keen on eliminating Islamic militancy but
rather sustaining it to achieve the goals of either side. Towards this agenda,
how the CIA covertly uses the international Islamic brigands, like the ISI, to
carry out its nefarious objectives, can be seen from the unfolding of the
following events:
During the Taliban War, the leader of the Northern Alliance was General
Ahmad Shah Masood but the USA viewed him as a social reformer
and as backed by the Russians. US
covertly supported another Afghan group. This led to General Masood’s untimely death by assassination on the 9th
of Sept. 2001, by two Arab suicide bombers posing as journalists. Thereafter, it was officially confirmed to the US by the Northern Alliance
that the assassination was carried out under the orders received from the
ISI-Osama-Taliban command.
Two days following Masood’s killing,
the USA suffered the 9/11 terrorist attacks with the use of civilian airplanes
hijacked and flown into the buildings by suspected Islamic terrorists, alleged
to be mostly from the Saudi Arabia. The blame and responsibility for this
terrible crime was decidedly placed on the dreaded terrorist outfit of Al Qaeda
led by Osama Bin Laden, even before all the attacks materialized.
Impossible to believe; all the
sophisticated, modern defense machinery and intelligence network of the
American superpower failed to prevent or stop the massive 9/11 attacks from
happening. But this huge intelligence failure and
human tragedy, appearing to serve some hidden sinister purpose,
indeed resulted in the US State Administration and the Pentagon gaining super
momentum to endorse a new policing system of home defense and mounting its
aggressive international policy of War on Terror; to hunt down and destroy the
alleged mass murderer, Osama bin Laden and his dreaded Al Qaeda. Ironically, Osama bin Laden remained alive
and elusive long after 9/11 and his Al Qaeda assets went about carrying out their
destructive business in whatever manner and wherever possible.
The US
intelligence was informed well in advance by foreign intelligence services such
as from Germany , France , Canada
and even India
about the impeding threats of attack by Islamic terrorists on American soil,
some very specifically. But the US intelligence
and the Pentagon chose to ignore them for reasons best known to themselves. This act of gross carelessness or rather deliberately ignoring the crucial intelligence received, on the part of the US government, resulted in a horrible American
disaster, almost similar to that of the Pearl Harbor
bombing by the Japanese in December 1941.
About a week before the attacks, the Chief of Pakistan’s ISI,
General Mahmoud Ahmad, happened to in the US , supposedly to hold talk with
the US State Department officials regarding the curbing of terror
activities. When the attacks took place,
General Ahmad was in the USA . And, he was still here on the 13th of September when USA declared full-scale war on world terrorism with the active support from the
government of Pakistan.The irony of it all being that the ISI then, as it is
now, maintained a strong relationship with the Islamic terror network, thanks to the
covert support of the CIA.
Shortly after the 9/11 attacks,
there appeared in the media, on TV and in newspapers, reports that a Pakistani
connection was suspected in funding the terrorists. The Indian daily, The
Times of India, broke the news that the ISI Chief, General Mahmoud
Ahmad, had arranged
the transfer of 100,000 US dollars to Mohammed Atta, the alleged leader of the
terrorist group. This goes to suggest
that the ISI was intimately involved with the hijackers, and at the same time, maintaining close contacts within the US Administration.
As for the whereabouts of Osama bin
Laden, in July 2001, he was reportedly (French daily Le Figaro October,
2001) receiving kidney dialysis
treatment at the
American Hospital in Dubai (The United Arab Emirates), between the 4th and 14th
of July, and, meantime,
this “Enemy of America” was meeting with the local CIA Head of Station in
Dubai, besides being visited by family members and important persons from the Saudi
Arabia and the U.A.E. governments.
Osama bin Laden then figured on the Most Wanted List of the FBI and
while the CIA officials in Dubai were meeting with
him at the American Hospital , questions were raised why was not bin Laden,
the arch enemy of the US , arrested there and then?
Reuters also later reported:
“At the time, bin Laden had a multi-million
dollar price on his head for his suspected role in the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in East Africa ”.
There is also a
fascinating CBS news report stating that, as per information received from the
ISI, a day ahead of the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden was receiving medical
treatment in the Military Hospital at Pakistan Army’s Headquarters in
Rawalpindi. Again, surprising that the US military advisers based in Rawalpindi military sector made no move
whatsoever to capture bin Laden.
Despite the Pakistan’s ISI clear involvement with the alleged
9/11 terrorists, and Osama bin Laden’s later unrestricted movements, it shows that
the US Administration’s War on Terrorism and its Foreign Policy has a parallel hidden agenda from the one that is presented and openly preached inside and
outside the USA.
Almost a decade later, the purported long search for the Al Qaeda fugitive leader finally ended in May 2011, with his assassination in a night raid on his house in a compound near
the garrison town of Abbottabad, Pakistan, by a team of U.S. Navy SEALs. The most wanted man was all along living there with his family and bodyguards.
Hard to believe, that within a walking distance were the Pakistan Military Academy, and nearby the Brigade Headquarters of the Pakistan's Second Division of the Northern Army Corps.
Meantime, the ISI - the incorrigible intelligence arm of thePakistan ’s armed forces is content in being
manipulated under the patronage of its godfather, the CIA.
