Pak demands proof on Mumbai allegations

Press TV
Friday, Dec 12, 2008

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says India fails to share information on Mumbai terror attacks despite repeated requests.

Qureshi said that Pakistan had begun its own investigations concerning the Indian allegations against the country.

“The government of Pakistan has already initiated investigations on its own. However, our own investigations cannot proceed beyond a certain point without provision of credible information and evidence pertaining to Mumbai,” Qureshi said.

Qureshi’s remarks came a day after Pakistani Defense Minister Ahmad Mukhtar called on the US and India to provide tangible evidence for Mumbai allegations. “Both the US and India say they have ample proof, but why is it hidden from us?” Mukhtar asked.

India insists there is enough evidence to prove that the Mumbai attacks were launched from Pakistani territory, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said during the Parliament session in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, US state department said that Pakistan had taken “important steps” by acting against terror groups by banning the Jamaat-ud Dawa-a front group to Lashkar-e-Taiba- which has been alleged by the US and India to be behind the Mumbai attacks.

But the US declined to comment on India’s observation that Islamabad was not doing enough.

India had previously demanded the hand over of 20 suspected militants but Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday asked Pakistan to hand over 40 people which New Delhi believes were involved in attacks on Indian soil and other serious crimes.

Islamabad has intensified its crackdown on militants but says it will not hand over any of its citizens to India. It also denies any involvement in the raids that left 171 people dead and 294 wounded.

Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari had earlier said that the Mumbai terror attacks were directed not only against India but also against Pakistan’s new democratic government and the peace process.

Pakistan’s top officials say Islamabad is still waiting for evidence from India proving Pakistani nationals were involved in the attacks.

   The Indian’s don’t want to hand over any proof because (there is no proof) that goes against their agenda of initiating a war in Eurasia.

   The neocon/neolib war-hawks have openly stated that they want to move the ‘war on terror(war on earth)’ to the Asian sub-continent. (Byerzinski)

   Hamid Gul said that there is no way India and Pakistan could fight a conventional war. It will come down to an exchange of nuclear weapons which will be the catalyst for the third world war.

   The Indian’s will never give the Pakistanis any information. And if they do, it will be flawed.

   “India insists there is enough evidence to prove that the Mumbai attacks were launched from Pakistani territory”

   From what i was reading earlier in the week the indian investigation has lead straight to the door of the indian police force in Kashmir. Surely the India would have to give up their territorial claims regarding Kashmir if they wished to claim the that the trail had lead to Pakistani territory?

   anon, you are stupid beyond belief. when crimes on this scale occur, their is a trail of evidence so vast that it points directly to who commited the crime. the fact that evidence points directly to india, hindu extremists and indian officals carrying out these attacks, shows the only conspiracy behind the mumbai attacks is why indian officials arnt running out the door with their so called ‘mountain of evidence’ to show the world how pakistan was involved in the attacks. Instead they show no one and hope people with simply take thiers and the medias word for it. conspiracy? give me a mutha fuckin break. its morons like you who continually give up asking questions as soon as you are spoon fed some rediculous senario that is the real conspiracy. just like 911, which after 7 years has still not been investigated, their obviously is no proof what so ever that pakistan had anything to do with the mumbai attacks, otherwise it would have proven it with indias ‘mountain of evidence’, but unfortunately the only evidence points directly to indian officials. not to mention the facts that are simply explained. hell, even in this photo their are civillians standing out the front of the hotel looking on in amazement while the military is hiding behind a truck, where their stayed for 3 straight days until a decent death toll was racked up. how come they wernt able to shoot the so called ‘terrorists’, yet photographers were able to shoot them at will, with many great shots of the hindu extremist almost in pose. The military wouldnt shoot because they were ordered not to. none of the bodies have been idetified as pakistanis, which only leaves the prospect of them being indians, which is fitting considering they forgot to take of their hindu wrist bands. yes their where hindu wristbands, many of my indian friends in australia have already explain to me they look nothing the wrist bands worn by a tiny fraction of the pakistani population, but more like those of hindus who live along the west coast of india, or the goa district.
   anon, in case you havent heard of anicdotal evidence before, i suggest you look it up immediately, youre rediculious article shows nothing but how stupid you really. Any man can claim to be the father of a man, who the world has no proof he even is(which is extremely common secret itelligence officals. For all you no this man claiming to be his father, is simply a hindu extremists who hates pakistan enough to tell a lie. It is also extremely ironic that the indian offical who was involved in a case against indian officals for staging previous tresonous acts of terrorism, was killed although being sheilded by indias crack counter terrorism squads. So here is a quick list of evidence since the indian goverment refuses to release any;
   1. gunmen are indians, yet india claims they are pakistani, no evidence from india
   2. gunmen allowed to kill on rampage for 3 days, no explaination from india
   3. investigator murdered has evidence to exposed state sponsored terrorism, no investigation into the murder of a top offical?
   4.no identifcation of dead gunmen, yet claimed they are from pakistan, no evidence from india.
   5.india claims they are from terrorists groups in pakistan, no evidence from india.
   6.security was extremely relaxed a few days before the attacks, yet india had recieved reports of hindu extremists planning a massive attack, no explanation from india.
   Motive:India- when the countries secceeded from britian in the 40’s, India was extremely pissed off, as it felt half of the land governed by pakistan, should be under indian control, hence the continued battle for kashmir (learn your history), with the pakistan economy weakening, USA is paroid, and has come to the rediculous conclusion that the country is about to be over thrown by terrorists groups, which is utter bullshit of course, considering these so called ‘terrorist groups’ have just managed to overthrow a US backed military dictactor (musharaff) in favour of democracy. consider pakistan has nukes, a false flag attack is a win-win for india and the USA. India gets to retake the land it has longed for for the past 60 years, and the USA gets to invade and kill everybody, cause hey, that is just what the USA likes to do. A flase flag incident is the perfect launching pad for war against pakistan,which is what both the USA and india want.
   Motive;pakistan extremists- terror! terror! rah! rah! out to get ya!!! ppppplllleeeeaaaasssssee! even if pakistani extremists just wanted to roll up to the taj mahal in a air inflated boat, they would have to get past a barrage of Indian miltary who have continually patrolled the region for the past 60 years, rocking up in a yellow inflatable boat that sticks out like dogshit, is virtually impossible without the aid of Indian officals, not to mention the plauseability of pakistanis simply waltzing over the border with the AK-47 and a belt full of grenades. The only motive a pakistani extremist group would have to attack India is to be a marytar, like the constant suicide bombings, but considering the hindu that is still alive and in the officials custody, it is simply not plausable that a religious extremist would rather give in than go down without an explosion.
   anon, your comments are the only conspiracy, and they are seen for what they are, utter stupity, i wonder if i tell you that im dic cheneys father, and he told me it was him who blew the towers at 911, would you believe me? probably, guilty without any evidence is the way of american facism these days.

   Hey, here’s a thought. The US has been sending armed drones from Afganistan across into Pakistani territory on it’s western borders for months now claiming it’s chasing terrorists who fled there. In the process, the US is killing countless innocent Pakistani civilians and Pakistan, rightfully , is getting pissed. Do you think for one moment the US would put up with this shit from some other country if the tables were turned. Do you think Russia would? I think not. And what happens if these so called “terrorists” flee from Pakistan across the border into southern Russia. Are we going to send armed drones into their country next under the guise of “chasing terrorists” and tell Russia, hey , too bad for you if some of your people get killed. Careful, America! Bottom line is, the US wants to expand it’s war into Pakistan. How convenient this attack is for the US regarding Mumbai, India which is “supposed” to have been conducted by Pakistani citizens. Or so we are being led to believe. You’ll notice that the US immediately stuck it’s nose in that affair. Major surprise there, hey folks? How about the “good possibility” that it was the US itself that instigated the entire affair as a ruse to enter Pakistan, exactly what it wants.
