Mumbai Attacks, Once Again The Finger Points To Pakistan's ISI By WILLIAM MAYER and BEILA RABINOWITZ November 28, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Though responsibility for this week's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India has been claimed by a previously unknown group, the Deccan/Indian Mujahideen, many experts detect the hand of Pakistan's terror riddled state security group, the ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] as the power behind the carnage. There are long standing allegations that Pakistan has promulgated a campaign of terror against India for years, with the religious unrest in Kashmir serving as a key source of tension between the two countries. As noted in a 2006 PipeLineNews story, Musharraf's Pakistan Express Going Off The Rails - India Charges ISI With Collusion In Mumbai Bombing
As the Times UK is reporting in its Sunday edition:
The sophistication of the attacks and their choice of soft targets associated with Westerners indicates a degree of planning and coordination not commonly found in independent terror cells and the Deccan/Indian Mujahideen seems a concocted dodge to shield the terror masterminds from responsibility in this attack. Even though investigations into the matter have just begun, evidence appears to indicate that the terrorists originated in Pakistan, travelling from the port of Karachi by boat to Mumbai and some eyewitnesses to the calamity report that terrorists with Pakistani surnames mentioned the unrest in Kashmir - an Indian, Pakistani flashpoint - as a motivating factor in the attacks. So great is Indian suspicion that Pakistan has taken the unprecedented step of dispatching recently appointed ISI chief, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha to India to defuse the rapidly mounting tensions. http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=mumbai2id=11.28.08%2Ehtm |
