Arrest Provides More Evidence India, Israel, and the U.S. Behind Mumbai Attacks

Posted by seumasach on December 9, 2008

This looks increasingly like an internal power struggle within India. If the BJP looks to engineer a coup and bring India firmly into the US camp, the government seems to be drawing closer to Russia and the SCO. The latter path is the logical one and will likely prevail: the Mumbai massacre would then be a product of the increasing desperation of the pro-US/UK/Israel faction.

It is becoming increasingly a hard sell to pin the blame for the Mumbai attacks on Pakistan and thus set the stage for an attack on Pakistan after Barack Obama enters the White House in a few weeks. It now appears Indian intelligence played a large part in the terrorist attacks. On Saturday, the Associated Press reported that a “counterinsurgency police officer who may have been on an undercover mission” was arrested for illegally buying mobile phone cards used by the gunmen.

McCain warns Pakistan of Indian air strikes

Posted by seumasach on December 8, 2008

 

India would do well to launch a proper investigation before doing anything rash. At the core of this should be to continue of the work of  Karkare and to establish  precisely who engineered his death. The Americans seem overeager to find the hand of Pakistan behind this massacre, don’t they? As usual they have undisclosed “evidence” which , as on 9/11, amounts to nothing more than the claim that it was “the bad guys”. In a way, this is probably true : but it would be they themselves who are the bad guys.

Two men arrested in Mumbai attacks-But questions fly after Kashmir police say suspect in cellphone connection is their undercover agent

Posted by seumasach on December 7, 2008

 

“The implications of Ahmed’s involvement – that Indian agents may have been in touch with the militants and perhaps supplied the SIM cards used in the attacks – added to the list of questions about India’s ill-trained security forces, which are widely blamed for not thwarting the attacks.”

The gunmen overpowered and disarmed the security guards, before setting fire to the vehicles, many of which were laden with Humvee armoured cars intended for Western forces.

About three quarters of all the ammunition, food, weapons and other supplies needed by Nato’s troops in Afghanistan, including 8,000 British soldiers, pass through Pakistan. The Taliban have clearly identified this route as a crucial vulnerability.

One of the features of a transition to a police state is that those who should defend our liberties transfer their allegiance to the executive of the state. Viz the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Serjeant at Arms. Now we have a senior coroner. Sir Michael Wright, coroner in the Jean Charles de Menezes inquiry, who has told the jury they are not permitted to return a verdict of unlawful killing.

Pocos episodios hemos visto en el juicio del 11-M tan escandalosos y tristes como el de los análisis de explosivos. Primero ocultaron los análisis de los focos de explosión de los trenes; luego destruyeron los trenes y las prendas de ropa de las víctimas; más tarde, entregaron para analizar un puñado de muestras que no contenían ni un gramo de resto analizable, cuando de los trenes se habían extraído toneladas de objetos; después, se apagaron las cámaras misteriosamente el día que aparecieron componentes que no formaban parte de la Goma2-ECO; al final, achacaron la aparición de esos componentes que no cuadran con la versión oficial a mágicas moléculas voladoras que todo lo contaminan, pero sin que nadie sepa explicar cómo.
