Jailer suspended for giving Davis ‘spy gadgets’ - Sources say he was offered American visas by CIA


The Kot Lakhpat Jail authorities caught red-handed Assistant Superintendent Qazi Hussain handing over a jet USB and other portable drives to USZ spy Raymond Allen Davis on Wednesday, sources said. Qazi Hussain was immediately suspended, pending an inquiry beginning in two days. The movement of the jailer was observed by a deputy superintendent on CCTV. “The accused was seen giving Raymond a new jet 560 USB flash drive, portable hard drives, disks, flash memory cards, card readers and other multimedia gadgets,” one of the top jail officers revealed on condition of anonymity. Sources said the accused was on his way back from the (Davis) cell when the deputy superintendent intercepted him and asked about the articles he handed over to Davis.

“During preliminary interrogations, Qazi said Assistant Superintendent Jail Naveed Aslam wanted him to pass on the gadgets to Davis. The deputy took up the matter with the senior jail superintendent who then brought the matter to the knowledge of higher authorities of the Prison Department”, sources added. Following special directives of IG Prison Kokab Nadeem Warraich, Superintendent Malik Mushtaq Ahmed suspended Qazi Hussain and directed him to report to the IG Prison in two days. A jail official said it seemed the CIA agent offered Qazi and Naveed visas of America for the favour. “IG Kokab Nadeem has also directed the DIG Lahore Range to hold a regular inquiry against Qazi as apparently he is the main accused”, the official added. He said that the shameful incident was being investigated from various angles. Jail Superintendent Mian Mushtaq Awan was unavailable to comment while his subordinate Mohammad Arshad flatly denied the incident.

Meanwhile, IG Kokab Nadeem Warraich also transferred Assistant Superintendent Jail Naveed Aslam to Chakwal with immediate effect. On the other side, owing to life threats to Raymond Davis, the jail authorities have beefed up security further. “In a fresh development, over 200 commandoes of the Elite Force, the Rangers and the Punjab Police have been deputed around the jail under the command of divisional SPs and three veteran DSPs”, the jail official said. He said about three Inspectors, 20 Sub-Inspectors and ASIs and 95 constables would discharge security duty in three shifts round the clock. Furthermore, about 25 special commandoes of the Elite Force, 10 riding motorcycles, and other 20 senior police officers of the Model Town Division have also been deployed at key points of the jail. The jail authorities, including DIG Mirza Shahid Saleem Baig, Superintendent Mian Mushtaq Awan and assistant superintendents held a special meeting on Wednesday to discuss security measures. “We have got reports from unconfirmed sources regarding likely assassination of Raymond Davis in the jail”, revealed a senior officer who attended the meeting.

Turkey opposes sanction against Libya


Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey opposes economic sanctions against Libya because it will hurt the Libyan people. "It is wrong to act hastily in such situations. And it is not right at present to impose sanctions on Libya since such measures punish the people", Erdogan said on Wednesday. "We are not supposed to meddle in Libya's affairs... and it is up to the Libyan people to decide their own fate", he added.

The remarks come, after the United States of Zionism and the European Union announced they were considering the possibility of imposing economic sanctions on Libya due to Gaddafi's strict action against the undercover mercenaries posing to be civilians and destroying Army infrastructure and killing Libyan civilians to later on put its blame on Government.

{EOP}Al-Jazeera's Big Fat Lies about Libya's air-bombardment busted

Khaled Al Ga'aeem, Libya's deputy foreign minister phoned Al Jazeera on Monday night to deny charges of violence and expose Al-Jazeera's big fat lies about Libya's air bombardment. Khaled Al Ga’aeem, under-secretary of the Libyan foreign ministry, phoned the Israhelli owned Al Jazeera on Monday evening and fortunately he was put live on air.  Here is an exact translation of the conversation that followed.

Al-Jazeera, an Israhelli lie factory
Al Jazeera: With us now is Khaled Gaeem, under-secretary of the foreign ministry. What’s your comment on what happened today in Libya?

Khaled Al Ga’aeem: Good evening, the reason I am calling is to seek the truth and only the truth. I want to stress two facts to the viewers in the Arab nation - and especially to Libyans inside and outside Libya. And I take personal and full responsibility, and I am ready - not only to resign from my post - but also to set myself on fire in the Green Square if my words are proven as lies and it is confirmed that there were mercenaries from African states coming by planes and if it is confirmed that there was aerial bombardment. I asked the British ambassador to be a witness and to bring a media crew tomorrow morning to tour all Tripoli to look for find any aftermath of aerial bombardment or discriminate bombardment. I will bear full responsibility and I will pay with my life as a price for it.

AJ: Sir, allow me…

KAG [interrupts]: Al Jazeera is trying to burn Libya ... Al Jazeera is far from professional…

AJ [interrupts]: Allow me, allow me… Before you asked the British to bring in a crew, why wouldn’t you allow Al Jazeera to send a crew in. We have a priority over the British. Would you allow a TV crew from Al Jazeera to come in?

KAG: Until Al Jazeera proves the opposite, we trust a foreign channel more then we trust an Arab channel. I invited Al Arabiya channel as well, and will call them shortly to ask them to come to Tripoli.  CNN, I put this challenge on the ground… If there’s any aftermath of bombardment found…

AJ [interrupts]: You spoke about CNN, Al Arabiya and the British - let me speak, so you can hear one other. You asked all them to come - but my question was clear: Will you allow a crew from Al Jazeera to come and look and report what we see?

KAG: Al Jazeera should prove its professionalism first, then we will invite it after tomorrow. Al Jazeera’s professionalism is at stake.

AJ second anchor: What about the pictures we saw screened on Al Jazeera? Aren’t these pictures and videos evidence of what’s happening in Libya?

KAG: Tomorrow you will see live pictures from foreign media outlets from around Tripoli, and crews will go to Benghazi. In Benghazi, the situation is different from Tripoli. There are groups of people, like brother Saif al-Islam [Gaddafi’s eldest son] said: Groups have demands and we understand it - and I personally don’t see any problem with peaceful demonstrations and calling for any demand. But, when people attack bases and seize weapons to terrify civilians and our soldiers…

AJ [interrupts]: But sir, “the situation is different from Tripoli to Benghazi”? Do you deny that massacres by the regime took place in Benghazi?

KAG: Benghazi didn’t witness massacres by the state. There were mistakes by policemen, and I personally as a citizen, and not as a public servant, hold policemen who used excessive force to account - and they tried to justify it as self-defense when protesters attacked and tried to burn police stations. But I support the investigation that Saif al-Islam announced today, with a judge heading a committee.


AJ: What guarantees are there for this investigation to be honest?

KAG: The Libyan judiciary is honest and judges in Libya are independent, and as evidence they not always get along with the executive authorities. They are educated and hold high degrees from abroad … I beg everyone to listen to the voice of the brain to keep our development, maintain the country and the lives of the people. Who will win? If Al Jazeera did this act, will Qatar or the employees of Al Jazeera win?

AJ: Allow me sir: Libyan ambassadors in a number of Arab capitals have resigned because they were watching Al Jazeera?

KAG: No, no. never.

AJ: Then explain to me … Your ambassadors around the world resigned because they watched Al Jazeera?

KAG: I spoke to the brothers and the head of our mission in New York, Abdelrahmnan Shelgum, and I told him to invite a crew from CNN - and that the brothers who spoke from the mission about massacres in Tripoli, and other areas, should wait and see after the crew can go on a tour.

AJ: So you say CNN is welcome and you have arranged a tour in all of Libya, yet we are forbidden? You gave certificates of good conduct to all channels but Al Jazeera? So all channels in the world are good, and you gave them a certificate of endorsement, apart from Al Jazeera?

KAG: Al Jazeera’s professionalism is at stake

AJ: If the professionalism of Al Jazeera is so bad, why are you talking to us?

KAG: I speak to you, because you spread rumours. I personally beg you...

AJ: This is another reason: If we are not fair and make things up, why don’t you let us go there and report?

KAG: Please allow me, this is a historic responsibility - me and you will not live for ever - this life is not for ever. We have a responsibility before our people and the nation, please try to look for accuracy. You said Gaddafi left to Venezuela – but each person who travels in a private plane needs a plan and permission.

AJ: We didn’t say that, that information came from officials like British FM and some Libyan diplomats. How do you explain the resignation of the justice minister?

KAG: I haven’t heard until this moment that he had resigned. For your information, I will call him to check.

AJ: This news was covered by all media. A minister resigns and you tell us you haven’t heard about it?

KAG: I swear by my honour - and by Allah - that I haven’t heard it.

AJ: Allow me, because frankly I didn’t fully digest your answers and the call to media apart from Al Jazeera. I stress once again, if Al Jazeera was giving the wrong picture, if we exaggerate and fabricate, then it’s a priority to invite us rather than other channels - and since you are talking to us, this is an evidence that you think this is an influential channel.
Let us in and we promise to reflect what we see. Will you allow this crew? We will have correspondents and we will not allow or give a chance to anyone to fabricate because we will see things with our own teams. Will you allow us in and guarantee the safety of our crew? We will be there tomorrow.

KAG: [Not] until Al Jazeera proves itself otherwise.


AJ second anchor: OK sir, you asked to speak to Al Jazeera now, this is what I understand, that you demanded to appear live on Al Jazeera. So if you don’t trust us, why did you ask to be on our air?

KAG: I am here in Tripoli, and you could hear if there was bombardment

AJ: This, frankly, wasn’t what I asked you. I asked you a clear and direct question. Why are you talking to us now?

KAG: I asked to speak to you out of anger and sorrow at this poor performance - and to make you understand that you alone do not own the airwaves and there are other channels that can provide the truth. You have one day to prove your credibility, then we will invite you. You have a challenge before you now - if you prove your credibility from today until tomorrow, you will be invited [into Libya]. But if you continue your misleading campaign, we will only allow real news that have sources.

AJ: So we will be under the test you set for us. With all respect, until we prove our “good conduct”, then you will invite us. But other channels are all good and report everything. OK. Now what about the jamming of our signal coming from
Libya, as specialist companies report…

KAG: Until that is proven!!

AJ: No, there is a report from these companies, and I can send it to you.

KAG: OK, send it to me.

AJ: And tomorrow, a foreign media tour?

KAG: Libyan state TV transmits live.

AJ: But we only see pro-ruler demos.

KAG: It may be a poor performance from state TV

AJ: These channels that you invited also reported that Gaddafi left to Venezuela.

KAG: Yes, but they later said it’s not true. Al Arabiya, BBC Arabic, CNN…

AJ: Well, the denial came from officials in Venezuela. Anyway, since we are having a test, can you give us some indication what will be judged as to whether we passed or not. I mean, gives us some hints…

KAG: You are not allowed to scorn me.

AJ: That is not scornful, but a question.

KAG: Balanced coverage.

AJ: Sir, how do you justify cutting telecommunications and phones today?

KAG: Telecommunications are not cut in Libya - and now am talking to you. Secondly, there are maybe a few arrangements by companies and maybe security arrangements - which is their right - and I am not aware what these arrangements are ... Communications are running and you can call anyone in Libya and you are talking to me now - and so [if lines were cut] how are people are posting on YouTube?

AJ: We are talking about Tripoli. OK. Tell us - how do you respond to USZ calls to Libya to stop the bloodbath?

KAG: There is no blood bath in Libya - and once the media crews arrive they will see with their own eyes. Also in Benghazi, you will see the evidence of some people who were protesting and causing havoc - and others who have some demands. And you or other broadcasts say there was bombardment in the Friday market - you are making people scared.

AJ: Again, we don’t have crews there - so how can we look?

KAG: I say the water proves the diver wrong – Al Jazeera preemptively launched a campaign of rumors about Libya, and that led to a reaction among the people - and they chanted “Al Jazeera lying” and “Al Jazeera are agents”.

AJ: And in return, there were pro Al Jazeera chants and people apologising to Al Jazeera on the others’ behalf.

KAG: This is not me, it’s the people who said it ... Because there is a general sense here that Al Jazeera reports news that is not certain or verified and a sense that Al Jazeera is leading a systematic campaign against Libya for a reason we need to know. Why are the brothers in Al Jazeera - or maybe the government of Qatar – doing this? That also raises a question: Why doesn’t Al Jazeera talk about Qatar’s relations with Israhell, or talk about Al Udaid and Al Siliyeh bases - or talk about the coup of the son over his father?

AJ: This is a viewpoint, but this is not our topic today. When there’s an event in Udaid or Qatar, we will be tested and if there are major developments in Qatar we will be tested and we will cover it - and if we didn’t, then we are not professional channel. But now the event is not in Qatar, now the event is in Libya and state TV shows songs and dancing - is this professional?

KAG: This is the view from the street.

AJ: Khaled Al Ga’aeem, thank you for joining us, sir.

{EOP}Israhelli troops kill 7, injure dozens of Palestinians

At least 7 Palestinians, including children, have been killed and dozens other injured in 5 separate Israhelli attacks in the Gaza Strip. The incidents took place during a brief incursion by Israhelli forces into eastern Gaza City on Wednesday. Eleven Palestinians were injured after an Israhelli tank shell hit eastern part of the Gaza City. The incident came shortly after a number of Israhelli tanks and bulldozers rolled into the Palestinian territory in an apparent effort to destroy agricultural lands along the occupied border zone. Three members of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, and three children are among the injured. "Three of our fighters were injured while firing two mortar shells towards Israhelli tanks which were operating inside the (Gaza) border", a statement released by the group said.

A Palestinian child shot down by coward soldiers of Israhell
Some of the injured are reported to be in critical condition, Gaza emergency services Chief Adham Abu Selmeya said, adding that they had been taken to the city's Shifa hospital. Separately, two Palestinian workers were shot and injured by Israhelli gunfire as they were collecting cement particles left behind from the houses that were destroyed in north of the town of Beit Lahiya near the border during the Israhelli war on Gaza at the turn of 2009. Due to a crippling Israhelli blockade, Palestinians living in Gaza have no other choice but to obtain the required material for construction work from other buildings that have been destroyed in Israhelli attacks. Since March 2010, more than one hundred Palestinians have been shot by Israhelli soldiers while collecting construction material.

Israhell the terrorist
Israhell laid an economic siege on the Gaza Strip in June 2007 after Hamas took control of the enclave. The Israhelli-imposed blockade has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the Gaza Strip. Some 1.5 million people are being denied their basic rights, including freedom of movement, and their rights to appropriate living conditions, work, health and education. Poverty and unemployment rates stand at approximately 80% and 60%, respectively, in the Gaza Strip. More than 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the three-week Israhelli land, sea and air offensive in the impoverished coastal sliver during the winter of 2008-2009. The offensive also inflicted $ 1.6 billion damage to the Gazan economy. Shameless UNO and the so called "civilized world" is appreciating Israhell by staying silent on these "pro-humanity" war crimes by their illegal child state, the terrorist Israhell.

{EOP}Kayani warns Americans: "Honour Pak sacrifices!"

Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani Wednesday emphasised that USZ must honour Pakistan’s sacrifices in war against terror by making sure that its military operations were understood. “Pakistan’s soldiers have fought bravely and accomplished much at great cost. We must honour those sacrifices by making sure our military operations are understood,” General Kayani told the top USZ military leadership during an important meeting held at Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. The COAS met the top military leadership of United States to discuss regional security issues and explore new ways to better coordinate military operations. The two sides shared operational updates and discussed the need for greater infrastructure development, cross-border communication and information sharing. “I was pleased to have the opportunity to discuss with American officers the progress we have made fighting extremists in our country and to offer them my thoughts about how two sides might better cooperate”, said an ISPR statement while quoting General Kayani. It said he had a meeting with USZ military leaders to discuss regional security issues and explore new ways to better coordinate military operations.

Though American commanders consult frequently with General Kayani, this was only the third time they have gathered together in this manner since August 2008, the statement added. It said that General Kayani also met the Chief of Staff of Sultan’s Armed Forces.

{EOP}Pakistan’s intelligence ready to split with CIA

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Pakistan’s ISI spy agency is ready to split with the CIA because of frustration over what it calls heavy-handed pressure and its anger over what it believes is a covert U.S. operation involving hundreds of contract spies, according to an internal document obtained by The Associated Press and interviews with U.S. and Pakistani officials.
Such a move could seriously damage the U.S war effort in Afghanistan, limit a program targeting al-Qaida insurgents along the Pakistan frontier, and restrict Washington’s access to information in the nuclear-armed country. According to a statement drafted by the ISI, supported by interviews with officials, an already-fragile relationship between the two agencies collapsed following the shooting death of two Pakistanis by Raymond Davis, a U.S. contracted spy who is in jail in Pakistan facing possible multiple murder charges.
“Post-incident conduct of the CIA has virtually put the partnership into question,” said a media statement prepared by the ISI but never released. A copy was obtained this week by the AP.
The statement accused the CIA of using pressure tactics to free Davis.
“It is hard to predict if the relationship will ever reach the level at which it was prior to the Davis episode,” the statement said. “The onus of not stalling this relationship between the two agencies now squarely lies on the CIA.”
The ISI fears there are hundreds of CIA contracted spies operating in Pakistan without the knowledge of either the Pakistan government or the intelligence agency, a senior Pakistani intelligence official told the AP in an interview. He spoke only on condition he not be identified on grounds that exposure would compromise his security.
Pakistan intelligence had no idea who Davis was or what he was doing when he was arrested, the official said, adding that there are concerns about “how many more Raymond Davises are out there.”
Davis was arrested Jan. 27 in Lahore after shooting two Pakistanis. A third Pakistani was killed by a U.S. Consulate vehicle coming to assist the American. Pakistan demanded the driver be handed over, but the AP has learned the two U.S. employees in the car now are in the United States.
Davis has pleaded self-defense, but the Lahore police upon completing their investigation said they would seek murder charges. The ISI official told the AP that Davis had contacts in the tribal regions and knew both the men he shot. He said the ISI is investigating the possibility that the encounter on the streets of Lahore stemmed from a meeting or from threats to Davis.
U.S. officials deny Davis had prior contact with the men before the incident, and CIA spokesman George Little said any problems between the two agencies will be sorted out.
“The CIA works closely with our Pakistani counterparts on a wide range of security challenges, including our common fight against al-Qaida and its terrorist allies,” he said. “The agency’s ties to ISI have been strong over the years, and when there are issues to sort out, we work through them. That’s the sign of a healthy partnership.”
The CIA repeatedly has tried to penetrate the ISI and learn more about Pakistan’s nuclear program. The ISI has mounted its own operations to gather intelligence on the CIA’s counterterrorism activities
The ISI is now scouring thousands of visas issued to U.S. employees in Pakistan. The ISI official said Davis’ visa application contains bogus references and phone numbers. He said thousands of visas were issued to U.S. Embassy employees over the past five months following a government directive to the Pakistan Embassy in Washington to issue visas without the usual vetting by the interior ministry and the ISI. The same directive was issued to the Pakistan embassies in Britain and the United Arab Emirates, he said.
Within two days of receiving that directive, the Pakistani Embassy issued 400 visas and since then thousands more have been issued, said the ISI official. A Western diplomat in Pakistan agreed that a “floodgate” opened for U.S. Embassy employees requesting Pakistani visas.
The ISI official said his agency knows and works with “the bona fide CIA people in Pakistan” but is upset that the CIA would send others over behind its back. For now, he said, his agency is not talking with the CIA at any level, including the most senior.
To regain support and assistance, he said, “they have to start showing respect, not belittling us, not being belligerent to us, not treating us like we are their lackeys.”
NATO and U.S. operations in Afghanistan could be adversely effected by a split between the ISI and the CIA. Washington complains bitterly about Pakistan’s refusal to go after the Pakistani-headquartered Haqqani network, which is believed to be the strongest fighting force in Afghanistan and closely allied with al-Qaida.
The ISI official said Pakistan is fed up with Washington’s complaints, and he accused the CIA of planting stories about ISI assistance to the Haqqani network.
Relations between the CIA and ISI have been on a downward slide since the name of the U.S. agency’s station chief in Pakistan was leaked in a lawsuit accusing him of killing civilians in a drone strike.
Fearing for his safety, the CIA eventually pulled the station chief out of the country. ISI leaders balked at allegations that they outed the CIA top spy in their country. Former and current U..S. officials believe the station chief fell out of favor, but the Pakistanis say this is not the case
Those accusations and the naming of ISI chief Shujah Pasha in a civil lawsuit in the United States — filed by family members of victims of a November 2008 attack in Mumbai, India, by insurgents — started the downslide in relations, the ISI official said.
To help repair the crucial relationship, the CIA earlier this year dispatched a very senior officer to be the new station chief who was previously the head of the European Division, one of the most important jobs in the National Clandestine Service, the agency’s spy arm.
The spy agencies have overcome lows before. During President George W. Bush’s first term, the ISI became enraged after it shared intelligence with the United States, only to learn that the then-CIA station chief passed that information to the British. The incident caused a serious row, one that threatened the CIA’s relationship with the ISI and deepened the levels of distrust between the two sides. At the time Pakistan almost threw the CIA station chief out of the country.

{EOP}Davis to be Tried on Espionage, Terror Charges

EXCLUSIVE | Dan Qayyum, PKKH.tv

Pakistan’s military is considering trying CIA operative Raymond Davis, arrested in Lahore last month after killing two Pakistani citizens, under the Army Act of 1952 for charges ranging from espionage to masterminding assassinations and terror attacks on Pakistani soil.
A senior intelligence official, speaking to PKKH on condition of anonymity, confirmed that there was ‘mountains of evidence’ of CIA support to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan as well as plans to strike at Qudsia Mosque in Lahore in a bid to assasinate Jama’at-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed.
‘Murder charges should be the least of his worries now. We have mountains of evidence of covert support to banned outfits including the TTP. Davis has been a vital link between the CIA and the TTP, but by no means the only link.
We believe there are many other CIA under-cover operatives in Pakistan at this point in time, including the three that escaped in the other vehicle after the shooting incident in Lahore’, the official added.
PKKH was the first news organisation to report that Raymond Davis’ hit-list included Jama’at-ud-Dawa – in a report published on February 11th. The New York Times confirmed on Monday that Davis ‘was part of a covert, CIA-led team of operatives’ conducting surveillance on militant groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba, the alleged militant wing of Jama’at-ud-Dawa, according to American government officials. PKKH also revealed on February 11th that among the pre-marked targets saved on Davis’ GPS device were the Qadsia Masjid in Lahore, JuD’s headquarters in Muridke, Sialkot Cantonment, as well as a number of other civilian and military locations in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
This contradicts the US claim that Davis was a member of the ‘technical and administrative staff’ of its diplomatic mission in Pakistan.

CIA and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)
Davis, a retired Special Forces soldier who had worked previously for Blackwater Worldwide (now known as Xe) was working out of a safehouse in Lahore rented by the US Consulate.
The New York Times had agreed to temporarily withhold information about Mr. Davis’s ties to the agency at the request of the Obama administration, which argued that disclosure of his specific job would put his life at risk. Several foreign news organizations have disclosed some aspects of Mr. Davis’s work with the CIA.
“The Lahore killings were a blessing in disguise for our security agencies who suspected that Davis was masterminding terrorist activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab,” a senior official in the Punjab police claimed, as reported by the Pakistani daily ‘Express Tribune’.
“His close ties with the TTP were revealed during the investigations,” he added. “Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban to fuel the bloody insurgency.” Call records of the cellphones recovered from Davis have established his links with 33 Pakistanis, including 27 militants from the TTP and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi sectarian outfit, sources said.
Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons
Davis was also said to be working on a plan to give credence to the American notion that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are not safe. For this purpose, he was setting up a group of the Taliban which would do his bidding.
The Punjab law minister has said that Davis could be tried for anti-state activities. “The spying gadgets and sophisticated weapons recovered are never used by diplomats,” Rana Sanaullah told The Express Tribune.
He said some of the items recovered from Davis have been sent for a detailed forensic analysis. “A fresh case might be registered against Davis under the [Official] Secrets Act once the forensics report was received,” he said.
Sanaullah confirmed that Davis could also be tried under the Army Act. To substantiate his viewpoint, he said recently 11 persons who had gone missing from Rawalpindi’s Adiyala jail were booked under the Army Act. However, a senior lawyer said that only the Army has the authority to register a case under the Army Act of 1952 against any person who is involved in activities detrimental to the army or its installations.
“Such an accused will also be tried by the military court,” Qazi Anwer, former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association said. He added that the civil authorities could register a case of espionage against any person.
Jama’at-ud-Dawa
PKKH was the first news organisation to report that Raymond Davis’ hit-list included Jama’at-ud-Dawa – in a report published on February 11th. The New York Times confirmed on Monday that Davis ‘was part of a covert, CIA-led team of operatives’ conducting surveillance on militant groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba, the alleged militant wing of Jama’at-ud-Dawa, according to American government officials. PKKH also revealed on February 11th that among the pre-marked targets saved on Davis’ GPS device were the Qadsia Masjid in Lahore, JuD’s headquarters in Muridke, Sialkot Cantonment, as well as a number of other civilian and military locations in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The Jama’at-ud-Dawa, blamed by India for carrying out the Mumbai attacks in 2008, is accused by US officials to have close links with Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). It was registered as a charity in 1986 and has been at the forefront of relief activities following the Kashmir earthquake in 2005 as well as Pakistan’s massive floods last year. Additionally, JuD also runs hundreds of schools and higher education institutes in Pakistan providing modern scientific and religious education to children from poor families.
Despite western pressure, Pakistan’s intelligence agencies have failed to give much credence to Indian allegations linking Hafiz Saeed and Jama’at-ud-Dawa to the Mumbai attacks and have refused to take action against the outfit.
“Jama’at-ud-Dawa have worked very closely with the army in various relief operations in recent years and have never been found inolved in a single anti-state incident or terrorist activity on Pakistan soil, therefore there is absolutely no reason to go after them. The ISI holds them in high regard and has used their help in FATA and Swat to try and control the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the past. The TTP declared war against the JuD in 2008 when they called for assasinating Hafiz Saeed and other senior figures. They massaccred and kidnapped scores of Jama’at-ud-Dawa workers after a Jirga in Mohmand agency in July 2008. Its an interesting situation where the US and India have been pressurising Pakistan on Hafiz Saeed, and in the past the TTP has openly talked of assasinating Saeed. And now we have a US operative with links to the TTP, tasked by the CIA to assasinate Saeed. The cat is finally out of the bag”, added the intelligence official.

{EOP}"UK, USZ make Mid-East unstable", admits Terrorist David Cameron of UK

The UK Prime Minister has admitted that Britain played a direct role in destabilizing the Middle East region by supporting dictators who suppress their own people. David Cameron conceded to his country's support for despots in the region while he was addressing the Kuwaiti Parliament on Tuesday on the second leg of his tour of the Middle East region where he was paying a visit along with the heads of eight giant British weapons manufacturing companies. The Prime Minister said that popular uprisings now flaring across the Middle East showed that the West, Britain and the USZ in particular, had been wrong to support dictators and oppressive regimes that suppress human rights while at the same time he ignored the fact that Israhell is the main reason for the destabilization of Middle East. "History is sweeping through your neighborhood", he said. "Not as a result of force and violence, but by people seeking their rights, and in the vast majority of cases doing so peacefully and bravely", added Cameron. “Britain and other Western countries supported Hosni Mubarak, ousted by protests in Egypt. They have also backed authoritarian regimes in the [Persian] Gulf region, making few efforts to push allies towards democratic reform. That approach was wrong and counter-productive”, said the Prime Minister. He said that Britain's economic and security interests would ultimately be advanced by a more democratic Middle East.

UK, USZ fueled violence in the Middle East
As Cameron was addressing the Kuwaiti Parliament, his entourage, including the CEOs of eight weapons manufacturers were busy negotiating to win contract for their products. This is building democracy British style. Bosses from major arms and aerospace companies such as BAe Systems, Qinetiq and Thales as well as other defense contractors including bosses from the Cobham Group, Ultra Electronics, Rolls Royce, Babcock International Group and Atkins are accompanying the Prime Minister on his tour that, he said he wanted to use to offer Britain's help in creating the “building blocks of democracy” in the region. Critics say Cameron is promoting a mission to sell weaponry to Arab dictators. “It's an absolute disgrace that the Prime Minister has taken these arms dealers with him”, said Sarah Waldron, of Campaign Against Arms Trade.

{EOP}The Qur'an warns about cloning, now scientifically verified

A Book which is beyond perfection in this world was revealed to the human race by Allah with a number of hidden miracles in it. The Qur'an has guided people around the world in all walks of life providing solutions to all problems faced by us not only in the past but also today and certainly in the future too. It is a Book designed for all generations since it refers to political, social, military, scientific and financial aspects. One of the magnificent miracles includes the mentioning of cloning in the Qur'an in Surah an-Nisa, 119.


[Satan said:] “I will lead them astray and fill them with false hopes. I will command them and they will cut off cattle’s ears. I will command them and they will change Allah’s creation.” Anyone who takes satan as his protector in place of Allah has clearly lost everything.” (Surah an-Nisa’, 119)

A report by the German Federal Agricultural Research Center provides the following information:
  1. The tissue collection phase is short and simple. Once an animal has been located and restrained, a tissue sample like an ear clipping can be collected within seconds. Furthermore, somatic cells can be collected from all species. For cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, camelids and llamas, a unified and identical procedure can be used by obtaining a tissue sample from the ear using notches which are also used for setting earmarks… Clearly, for all species lymphocytes could be used, but somatic cells from ear clippings will be much easier to obtain and are therefore preferable.
  2. According to a report by Reuters dated 1 May, 2002, a research veterinarian at the University of Sao Paolo in Brazil, Jose Visintin, produced cloned embryos for the first time in the country by using cells taken from the ear of an adult cow.
  3. According to a BBC report, South Korean scientists cloned a dog called Snuppy from cells taken from a 3-year-old Afghan hound. Researchers at the Seoul National University extracted genetic material from the cells taken from the ear and placed it into an empty egg cell. An embryo was then obtained by stimulating the cell to divide.
  4. Another BBC report said that a new clone had been produced using ear cells from an adult cow in research carried out by Dr. Jean-Paul Renard et al. at the Institute National de la Recherché Agronomique in France.
  5. According to information of the official Human Genome Project website, in February 2002, scientists from the Advanced Cell Technologies (ACT) biotechnology company carried out experiments on cloning a cow embryo using the skin cell of the donor cow’s ear.
  6. A report by Associated Press, dated 24 January, 2000, announced that Japanese scientists had cloned the clone of a bull for the first time. In the re-cloning, skin tissue samples from the first generation cloned bull’s ear were taken when it was four months old. These cells were then fused with an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus had been removed.

Information from the Human Genome Project website take this form:

Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned from adult DNA, [died on] Feb. 14, 2003. Prior to her death, Dolly had been suffering from lung cancer and crippling arthritis. More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce viable offspring. In addition to low success rates, cloned animals tend to have more compromised immune function and higher rates of infection, tumor growth, and other disorders. Japanese studies have shown that cloned mice live in poor health and die early. Appearing healthy at a young age unfortunately is not a good indicator of long term survival. Clones have been known to die mysteriously. For example, Australia's first cloned sheep appeared healthy and energetic on the day she died, and the results from her autopsy failed to determine a cause of death.

The way that changes in the creation of living things are referred to in the Qur’an and the expression “cutting off cattle’s ears”, at a time when no branches of science such as genetics or embryology existed, shows that the Qur’an has come down from the Sight of our Lord, Allah, Who is unfettered by time. We are also told at the end of the verse that these people will be disappointed when they alter what Allah has created. The verse may therefore be indicating that cloning will give rise to various problems for human beings. (Allah knows the truth.) Indeed, statements from the Genetic Science Learning Center of the University of Utah provide the following information:
When we hear of cloning successes, we learn about only the few attempts that worked. What we don't see are the many, many cloning experiments that failed! And even in the successful clones, problems tend to arise later, during the animal's development to adulthood.

Shumaila's uncle forcefully poisoned by CIA terrorists


Three armed men, apparently working for CIA, forcibly gave poisonous pills to Muhammad Sarwar, the uncle of Shumaila Kanwal, the widow of Fahim shot dead by Raymond Davis, after barging into his house in Rasool Nagar, Chak Jhumra. Sarwar was rushed to Allied Hospital in critical condition where doctors were trying to save his life till early Thursday morning. The brother of Muhammad Sarwar told the media that three armed men forced their entry into the house after breaking the windowpane of one of the rooms. When they broke the glass, Muhammad Sarwar came out. The outlaws started beating him up. The other family members, including women and children, coming out for his rescue, were taken hostage and beaten up. The three outlaws then took everyone hostage at gunpoint and forced poisonous pills down Sarwar’s throat. “One of the pills was thrown out by Sarwar while he was forced to sallow the others”, family members said. The family members said the gunmen were demanding a patch-up with Raymond Davis, but when “all the family refused, they started torturing us”.

Bloody CIA, the gang of international terrorists
Muhammad Afzal, the brother of Sarwar, said the people of the area, after hearing the screams of the family, gathered on the spot. The three armed men, who were inside the house by then, opened aerial fire and managed to escape. Police reached half an hour after the incident. The people of the area protested against the police’s late arrival. Muhammad Sarwar was admitted to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors said his condition was getting better but “it could not be said about his life as in such cases patients gain senses and sometimes they go back in comma and die”. Heavy police were deployed outside the hospital but no political worker or leader from any political party was seen. It merits mentioning that when this scribe with the media was walking through the village of Shumaila Kanwal the other day, Muhammad Sarwar told this scribe that two armed foreigners tortured him and threatened to kill him and all his family members. He also alleged that the foreigners threatened to bomb all the village if “we didn’t cooperating to get Raymond Davis released”. Waqt news TV broke the news first of all.
