Just as most of us suspected, Mumbai had 'all the hallmarks of Al-CIA-dah'.

So let's get this straight - America and other assorted gangsters invade and occupy Afghanistan, because they wouldn't unconditionally surrender OBL to US, with even the FBI saying they don't have 'enough evidence' to put OBL on their 'Most Wanted List' for the atrocity; the Afghan Govt. had of course offered to hand over OBL, if the US presented evidence of his involvement.
Now an American criminal, a CIA asset, who had been sent to Pakistan on CIA business, is actually accused by the US as being responsible for Mombai atrocity, yet they not only won't hand him over to India, they won't allow Indian agents to question him in US custody, or even to release to them the telephone taps of his trips to Pakistan and India?
There must be many proud, angry Indians who will now begin to see the light; 9/11 was a 'False Flag' operation, with all the filthy fingerprints and DNA of the CIA all over it.
I hope anyone with Indian contacts will make these points to them; I'll certainly be doing just that.

An afterthought: the Indian Govt. greatly increased co-operation with US over 'War on Terror' after the Mombai attacks; Megawati Sukarnoputri, who had refused US requests for Indonesia to join the 'War on Terror' on the grounds there was no terrrorism in Indonesia, changed her mind after Bali.
There is an old saying, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks', but the dirty dogs of the CIA, MI5/6, Mossad etc don't seem to need new tricks, because the MSM-befuddled 'sheeple' of the world keep falling for the age old 'trick' of False Flag ops.
I hope anyone with Indian contacts will make these points to them; I'll certainly be doing just that. |

| Quote: | | Headley is a former informant for the US Dr ug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He pleaded guilty last year to conducting reconnaissance for the Mumbai attacks and for the Danish plot. His confessions painted a devastating portrait of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) – he says ISI officers helped the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist group plot the commando-style attacks on Mumbai. |

| Quote: | Why Isn’t Pakistan Prosecuting Mumbai Suspects?
January 10, 2012, 5:01 pm ET by Azmat Khan
A Perfect Terrorist, a FRONTLINE and ProPublica investigation into the mysterious circumstances behind David Headley’s rise from heroin dealer and U.S. government informant to plotter of the 2008 attack on Mumbai, airs again tonight on PBS.
It’s been more than three years since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks — a slaughter carried out by Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-i-Taiba that left 166 dead, including six Americans — but there is little to show that its masterminds in Pakistan are being held accountable.
To date, Pakistan has yet to prosecute many of the high-level Lashkar leaders suspected of involvement in attacks, including Sajid Mir, the alleged handler of David Coleman Headley, the American who scouted targets for the Mumbai attacks and whom we investigated in our November report, A Perfect Terrorist, which airs again on PBS this evening.
Though Pakistan has taken some measures to investigate and act against alleged perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks, critics are doubtful they will result in any meaningful action in the near term:
Under foreign pressure, Pakistan arrested Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Lashkar’s powerful military leader, shortly after the attacks; he still awaits trial. In November, we reported that U.S. officials raised concerns that Lakhvi was directing operations while in Pakistani custody, and that Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had rejected a U.S. request that authorities seize the cell phone Lakhvi was using while in custody.
Hafiz Saeed, Lashkar’s spiritual leader, was placed under house arrest shortly after the Mumbai attacks, only to be released later due to lack of evidence. Critics say Saeed continues to operate with a great deal of impunity; in mid-December, he addressed a rally of 30,000 Islamists in Lahore, where he extolled the virtues of jihad and protested the errant NATO airstrikes that killed 26 Pakistani soldiers in November.
“Lashkar is considered so powerful at a political, military and public opinion level in Pakistan that there’s real fear that if the government moves against [the group], it has all these armed operatives and graduates who will then turn against the government,” says FRONTLINE correspondent and ProPublica reporter Sebastian Rotella.
Rotella also notes that the current disastrous relations between the U.S. and Pakistan have stalled American efforts to prosecute four Mumbai masterminds indicted in Chicago last year. “The relationship with the United States is so bad that Pakistan is basically [saying] ‘We’re not going to do anything the Americans tell us, and that definitely includes messing with Lashkar, which is our number one militant asset,’” he explains.
But in the chaos following the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, Pakistan’s civilian government appeared willing to do just that — at least according to a controversial memo allegedly authored by the former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. In exchange for American assistance in helping to prevent a military coup, the memo said Pakistan’s civilian government was willing to “cooperate fully” with the Indian government on:
bringing all perpetrators of Pakistani origin to account for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, whether outside the government or inside any part of the government, including its intelligence agencies. This includes handing over those against whom sufficient evidence exists of guilt to the Indian security services.
But the fallout from the release of the memo — which is now the subject of a scandalous inquiry that has pitted Pakistan’s civilian and military powers against each other — makes it even less likely that the country will crack down on the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks.
The military “thinks Pakistan has too many problems, and shouldn’t risk a rupture with the Lashkar-i-Taiba,” explains Praveen Swami, the New Delhi bureau chief of the The Hindu.
Beyond holding Lashkar accountable for the Mumbai attacks, Swami and others are concerned about the group’s potential to carry out another attack in India — and the ensuing consequences.
“The big worry is what happens if there is another big strike heading into the next Indian general elections, which are two years away,” Swami told FRONTLINE. “It will be very difficult to show the kind of restraint they demonstrated after [Mumbai].” |

| Quote: | US Warns of Repercussions for Pakistan Over Release of Alleged Terror Mastermind
November 25, 2017 4:16 PM
https://www.voanews.com/a/united-states-warrns-repercussions-pakistan- release-alleged-terror-mastermind/4136658.html
Ayaz Gul

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN —
The United States warned Pakistan on Saturday that there would be “repercussions” in bilateral relations unless Islamabad immediately re-arrested and prosecuted an Islamist leader accused of masterminding the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India.
The warning came after Pakistani authorities on Friday acted on a court order and freed Hafiz Saeed, a U.S.-designated global terrorist, from months of house arrest for a lack of evidence. Detention of the firebrand cleric had stemmed from allegations of terrorism.
Washington has been offering a $10 million reward since 2012 for information that would lead to bringing Saeed to justice for plotting the Mumbai bloodshed through his outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) global terrorist organization.
The White House on Saturday condemned Saeed’s release, saying it “sends a deeply troubling message” about Pakistan’s international counterterrorism commitment and “belies” claims the country will not provide sanctuary for terrorists on its soil.
“If Pakistan does not take action to lawfully detain Saeed and charge him for his crimes, its inaction will have repercussions for bilateral relations and for Pakistan’s global reputation,” the statement said.
Trump policy
It also reminded Islamabad of U.S. President Donald Trump’s South Asia policy, which seeks a constructive U.S.-Pakistan relationship but expects decisive action against militant and terrorist groups operating out of Pakistani soil that are a threat to the region.
“The release of Saeed is a step in the wrong direction. The Pakistani government now has an opportunity to demonstrate its seriousness in confronting all forms of terrorism, without distinction, by arresting and charging Hafiz Saeed for his crimes,” the statement said.

Saeed heads the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) Islamic charity. But the U.S. and the United Nations both have listed JuD as a global terrorist group, calling it a front for LeT, also founded by Saeed and later outlawed by Pakistan. Saeed denies any link to the massacre in Mumbai.
The Pakistan foreign ministry, while responding to the criticism over Saeed’s release from house arrest, said Friday that the country’s courts were determined to uphold the rule of law and due process for all Pakistani citizens.
“Legal processes are anchored in rule of law, not dictates of politics and posturing,” the ministry spokesman said. He reiterated that Pakistan condemns all forms of terrorism by any individual or group and says its successes in the fight against terrorism are "unmatched."
U.S., Indian pressure
Saeed claimed his detention was the outcome of U.S. and Indian pressure on the Pakistani government. Meanwhile, New Delhi asserts that supporters of the Pakistani cleric are assisting armed Muslim separatists in the divided Kashmir region.

Hours after his release from house arrest, the cleric addressed a massive Friday congregation of supporters at a Lahore mosque, urging the government not to engage in talks with India until the rival country had withdrawn its troops from Kashmir.
Saeed credited Pakistan’s independent judiciary for his freedom, saying he had been put under house arrest for highlighting the Indian “atrocities” against Kashmiris.
“I want Kashmir's freedom from India, and this is my crime. I was arrested for it," he told worshippers, who chanted, "God is great.”
Saeed’s release angered India, prompting foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar to call him a “self-confessed and U.N.-proscribed terrorist ... being allowed to walk free and continue with his evil agenda.”
A statement quoted Kumar alleging the cleric “was not only the mastermind, he was the prime organizer of the Mumbai terror attacks, in which many innocent Indians and many people from other nationalities were killed.”
Islamabad maintains that neither Washington nor New Delhi has offered any evidence linking Saeed to attacks in Mumbai. |
