OK sensibly speaking Pakistan often claims to be a victim of its history and geography. While the country's failure to produce leadership with the vision and acumen to steer the nation onto a politically stable path is rarely seen as something within the nation's power to change, change Pakistan must, if it hopes to deviate from its present destructive course. Ruled alternately by military generals and politicians, today Pakistan stands at a crossroads, confronted by a host of internal problems and external challenges, just as it did in August 1947 at the time of its birth.Pakistan's over 20,000 madrassas aka religious seminaries continue to fuel militancy as reported on numerous occasions by both international and domestic media All state run enterprises are either technically bankrupt or on the verge of collapse, incurring losses in the millions every day.Pakistan's leaders need to induce a dramatic change in their own and the country's outlook rather than wait for change to be forced upon them, when it will be too late to salvage the nation.

You will change your opinion if you ever managed to travel across Pakistan and see the common life in different layers of the society.
This blather is true for every country in the world. Therefore it is the responsibility of the leadership of a nation ro acknowledge that and work towards the overall well being of those people, In Pakistan the civilian governments are blamed because Pakistanis are too scared to blame the army which has not shown the responsibility and vision to allow development for any segment of Pakistan other than the armed forces. The Paki armed forces are overall a very incompetent bunch because they trained (or they allowed retired SSG and army offciers) to train Paki jihadis to target India. Now the army is unable to control them.

Pakistan will become a near normal state when the Pakistani army becomes a normal army about the size of the Bangladesh armed forces. But the Paki army and its supporters have too many "demons" to fight and they survive as long as demons exist - except that the jihad demons have now become too big. Of course the minute anyone criticizes the Pakistani army a Paki says "You are jealous of its power and efficiency". Back to the old story of the beggar with no arms and no legs but a large male organ imagining that the world is jealous and scared

I personally am happy to see the Pakistan army grabbing all resources - because 20 years from now Pakistan will be so far gone that it will be a real basket case. Allah has a glorious future planned out for Pakistan

Khaki-turned-Jihadi Adnan Rasheed masterminded Karachi attack - thenews.com.pk
ISLAMABAD: Adnan Rasheed, a former officer of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), who now heads a lethal fidayeen unit of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has turned out to be the possible mastermind of the June 8 fidayeen attack at Jinnah Airport in Karachi.

Preliminary investigations into the audacious fidayeen attack have given broad hints that the man at the helm of the bloody raid was Adnan Rasheed, the mastermind of a 2003 assassination attempt on General Pervez Musharraf in Rawalpindi.

Adnan was freed in an unprecedented jailbreak episode on April 15, 2012 when around 200 Taliban militants armed with guns, grenades and rockets attacked the high-security Central Jail of Bannu and released 384 prisoners. TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan subsequently declared on April 20, 2012 that the operation was mainly aimed at freeing Adnan.

Ehsanullah added that the Taliban had been working on the jailbreak plan for several months and they were in touch with Adnan Rasheed and some other prisoners in the Bannu Central Jail. Interestingly, despite being an al-Qaeda linked convicted terrorist, Adnan was allowed to get married in the jail in 2010 and become father of a daughter. Coming from Chota Lahor village of the Swabi district, Adnan had joined the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in 1997, before being arrested for his role in an attempt to assassinate Pervez Musharraf in Rawalpindi on December 14, 2003.

He was subsequently awarded death sentence by a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) on October 3, 2005 at Chaklala Base of PAF along with six other Air Force men. However, after being convicted, Adnan was shifted to the Bannu Central Jail from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi due to inexplicable reasons, only to be freed by the TTP in a jail break operation.

He has already been elevated as the chief operational commander of a lethal fidayeen unit of TTP – Ansarul Aseer or the Helpers of the Prisoners whose stated mission is to secure freedom for imprisoned jehadis by conducting jail break operations.

In a video-taped message released on March 25, 2013, Adnan Rasheed had threatened to assassinate Pervez Musharraf, adding that he has already constituted a death squad which would hunt down the former dictator for having ordered the 2007 Lal Masjid massacre. The TTP has already claimed credit for the Karachi Airport assault, saying it was meant to avenge the November 2013 death of their former ameer Hakeemullah Mehsud in a US drone attack. The fidayeen attack was executed by ten heavily armed Taliban fighters, including some Uzbek nationals belonging to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which has become an integral part of the TTP due to the unique guerrilla skills of its militants. All 10 Taliban fighters and other 18 people, including 11 security personnel and four airport workers, were killed during the fighting which lasted for at least six hours.

While Pakistani officials claimed that the Taliban sought to destroy the airplanes at the terminal, TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said the Taliban had planned to hijack the aircrafts and use them for hitting targets at another place. Another TTP leader said the Karachi airport was considered to be one of the most secured installation in the country and the June 8 attack gives a very clear message to the civilian and khaki leadership that no place in Pakistan, no matter how secure it is, was beyond the reach of the Taliban.

"We had included engineers and skilled people in the squad that stormed the airport. They knew how to operate a plane after hijacking it," the TTP leader claimed. This gives credence to the perspective of the investigating agencies that the airport operation and the hijacking plans were the brain child of Adnan Rasheed, being a former PAF officer. Since his release, he has led several guerrilla operations – the most significant being the July 30 2013 Dera Ismail Khan jail break raid in which 275 most wanted militants were freed.

Ansarul Aseer mostly consists of the fighters belonging to the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

According to the inquiry report of the Dera Ismail Khan Jail break operation (which was shelved), the raid was akin to having taken over the entire town. The report said that over two dozen TTP militants, accompanied by several more from Uzbekistan and other places, managed to travel all the way from South Waziristan to D.I. Khan. Once there, they set up pickets at 10 strategic locations around the prison, cutting off security and law enforcement personnel's access to the area. Shockingly, most of these pickets were located not far from the police and military checkpoints. The militants blew the prison's gates open with rocket-propelled grenades and over the next 45 minutes conducted a methodical search of the cells and barracks, freeing prisoners and even identifying and executing four members of a minority sect. Having done so, they dispersed; some headed back to South Waziristan, others melted into the city.

Almost a month before conducting this raid, Adnan Rasheed had claimed in a rare interview that he was indoctrinated by a covert jehadi group which recruits officers from the three military services and utilises them to wage jehad along with the Taliban. The interview was published in May 2013 issue of an English-language jehadi magazine "Azan" which was launched by the Taliban elements, primarily to cater to the educated Muslims. Adnan claimed in his rare interview that his first jehadi inclination emerged when the Indians were compelled to release Maulana Masood Azhar [after the hijacking of an Indian plane in 2000]. He said he was about to travel to Germany for higher education when the 9/11 attacks took place and his colleagues in the PAF persuaded him to pursue the jehadi path.

Narrating in a first-hand witness account, Adnan Rasheed said he joined a clandestine jehadi group functioning in the Pakistan Air Force under the name Idara Tul Pakistan, or the institution of Pakistan. The group's mission, according to him, was to recruit jehadis from all three wings of the Pakistani military - Army, Navy and the Air Force. Adnan Rasheed also noted how he was led by senior military officers to believe that the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) founder Maulana Masood Azhar was appointed the ameer of the Pakistani Taliban by Mullah Mohammad Omar, the fugitive ameer of the Afghan Taliban.

Adnan narrated how his boss granted him four months' leave to get training at a Jaish training camp in Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and how he finally came to know that Masood Azhar was never appointed the ameer of Pakistani Taliban by Mullah Omar.

"Allah Almighty opened my eyes when the Jaish-e-Muhammad split into two factions – Maulana Masood Azhar's Khudamul Islam and Haji Abdul Jabbar's Jamaatul Furqan. It dawned upon me that Masood and Jabbar had been working under the command of an intelligence agency.

So, I went to my ameer of Idara Tul Pakistan, Dr. Y and told him that, "Brother we are wronged! There is no difference between us and the Jaish-e-Muhammad. We are soldiers in uniform and they are soldiers without uniform. Dr. Y told me that the Shura of Idara Tul Pakistan had appointed me ameer for the Pakistan Air Force"¦ We later decided to divide our Idara into three branches - administration, intelligence and combat. The administration branch was to do two jobs - recruitment and fund raising; the intelligence branch was to do espionage while the combat branch was to 'hit and run'. The Idara strongly suggested that no one in uniform would take part in any mission inside Pakistan; rather it would recruit civilian jehadis for this job and they would be assisted with weapons, money and intelligence".

"We were joined by seven civilian brothers and one of them was appointed their ameer. In September 2003, in a bid to meet Mullah Mohammad Omar, I, along with the civilian brothers, travelled to South Waziristan to fight in Baghar area of Angoor Adda against the Americans. But when we reached there, the Pakistan Army had already conducted its first operation against the Mujahideen under the command of Major General Faisal Alvi (who was subsequently killed by Commander Ilyas Kashmiri of Brigade 313 in Rawalpindi). Brothers Abdul Rahman (a Canadian national) and Hassan Mehsoon (a Chinese national) were martyred in this operation. While returning to Peshawar, I decided to take a U-Turn against the Pakistan Army to avenge the killing of my jehadi brothers. As I met the ameer of the Idara Tul Pakistan, Dr Y, (May Allah release him), we decided to wage jehad against Pakistan", Adnan concluded while narrating in detail how he became a jehadi.
The blurry line between uniformed and un-uniformed soldiers who work with shadow support from other orgs, and ideas about how islamic should an islamic nation be seems to have contributed to creating the volatile situation in Pakistan. It also does not help that rather than focussing on the issue, these people readily point fingers outside, sad state of affairs.

The policy of sponsoring terrorism and engaging in low intensity proxy wars seems to be working well for Pakistan!

Maldivian president cancels visit to Pakistan - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

The visit of Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen to Pakistan was cancelled at the eleventh hour for unknown reasons.

......

All security arrangements had been finalised, they said, however the Maldivian embassy informed the Foreign Office that the trip had been postponed for an indefinite period.

The embassy of Maldives had not replied officially but hinted that the attack at the airport was the reason for cancellation, the Foreign Office source said.

Re: Firing at ASF camp; Karachi airport flight operations suspended

My observations about PO**** army

1. From last 12 yrs they are facing terrorism but never try to CREATE SPECIAL FORCES for this kind of attacks ANY EMERGENCY CALL PA (show we are only saviors of pak)
2.Pro Army Media(urdu/Ary...) without any proofs Blaming India for weapons next Medicines within MINUTES
3.They can catch 1 or 2 guys but didn't (2 ppl wearing suicide vests still they can fire at legs of other 8)
4.Only Institution which gain from terrorism in Pak is PA (apart from out side enemies)
5.PA cleaned & cleared Airport with Rocket speed but forgot some terrorists& Dead bodies only :rofl:
6.They reached within 40 mts and killed&cleared area and went away (Like Bolly hero :pound:) army designed for borders they enter civilian areas with Clear Map,planning and then execute plan take some time but not PA
Actually Pakis does have special forces and its indeed so special... these special forces were created in 1947 since Pak Army is coward enough not to fight Hindooooooo Army head on.But now these special forces are killing Pakis.Pakis getting special love from their special forces. :lol:

You could certainly give it a try. Afterall your government lied and kept you fooling about the 1962 war with China. Good going!
Who said we won the war we all know india lost that war but no one was winner of that war because china had to retreat because lack of supply.

The use of children helps the radical agenda in two main ways :

a) Easy impressionable minds to train and control
b) Extremely effective propaganda material once these children are killed by parading their bodies and showing the "evil" they are waging jihad against

Like killing two birds with one stone.

i thought the match venues were at dubai instead of pakistan. If they are trying to makeover their image after the attacks on sri lankan players, well tough luck with the current situation...
It was supposed to be the "come back" tour. SL and Ireland said they would tour if their officials were satisfied with the security arrangements...well so much for that.

This feels like it was aimed at more economic and a flashy show rather than an attack that was meant to kill civilians,
