Pakistan Asserts “Hoax” War Call Was Real
Press Minister fingers Indian High Commission as source of reports that threatening call was fake

Pakistani officials have asserted that the so called “hoax” phone call to its President Zardari on November 28, which threatened war in response to the Mumbai attacks, was in fact real and that Indian High Commission officials have since circulated a report in the media suggesting it was false.
Pakistan Information and Broadcasting Minister Sherry Rehman has stated that the call was put out from “a verified official Phone Number of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs”.
“The identity of this particular call, as evident from the CLI (caller identity) device, showed that the call was placed from a verified official Phone Number of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs”, Rehman claimed in a written statement issued in Islamabad and also circulated in Delhi.
According to reports, the caller, said to be Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee, told Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari that India would take military action if Islamabad did not hand over the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks.
Zardari found the call to be so threatening that he responded by putting Pakistan’s air force on high alert, triggering a flurry of intense diplomatic activity, as some world leaders feared the row over the attacks could lead to war.
The call, which was made while the Mumbai attacks were still ongoing, was reported as a hoax by the Western mainstream media this weekend.
However, Sherry Rehman claims that this version of events, which first appeared in Pakistani English daily ‘Dawn’, was “based on a briefing given to a few journalists by a responsible senior official of a neighbouring country based in Islamabad.”
Rehman stated “it is not possible for any call to come through to the President without multiple caller identity verifications,” she said the call under reference too was “processed, verified and crosschecked under the same procedure.”
The ‘Dawn’ report did not reflect this as it said the caller somehow managed to bypass the standard procedures and was transferred directly to Zardari after introducing himself as Pranab Mukherjee, India’s foreign minister.

Wajid Hasan, Pakistan’s ambassador in London, told UK’s Guardian that the call was traced directly to the Indian government.
“They did it,” he said. “It was not a hoax call, but an instrument of psychological warfare. They were trying to scare Pakistan, test the waters for our reaction.”
Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee yesterday denied that he had made any such threatening call and told reporters that the affair was unworthy of comment.
The Indian media, without providing any evidence, has fingered the Pakistani ISI as the source of the call.

cant we all just get a long and grow our opium in peace?

isn’t it ironic that whatever the US says is the complete opposite of the truth
EXAMPLES
9/11 was an outisde job = 9/11 was an inside job
iran is building nukes = israel has nukes
iran is a threat to world peace = israel and US are biggest threats to world peace
obama is a messiah = obama is a zionist
bush asked for god’s approval before striking iraq = bush asked for devil’s approval
BBC is most trusted news source = BBC is most bullshit news source

I respect many people who expose people to things that make them more aware.. to have a bigger conscience. For people to become aware that we are all in this world together by perhaps a cosmic accident or even that God might have caused it or whatever religion etc.. or nothing at all but that people can find kindness in their hearts to be there for each other is such a good thing. What Alex is doing is the exact opposite of the people he is calling out but in the same fashion to cause hatred. I don’t trust Alex Jones. I used to want to read his articles but I see that he takes the exact stories from the news and he tells them to us backwards and then he implants the spin. This isn’t the way to be informed. I am goig to get rid of this site as of today. I no longer want to hate in reverse.. this alex Jones is teaching people to hate in a way that is just as bad as those he hates. That’s all

After reading morons like Jin, it is evident that people are just mindless sheep for the most part. They claim they think for themselves, but as soon as someone questions their belief system, they clam up and become all defensive. Jin, the movement is better without your types. Go suck on your aspartame sodas and turn on CNN and slip back into the matrix.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
People like Gary are the mindless sheep. They are so dependent on Alex’s spin. Nobody said CNN is accurate in any way but you take Alex’s word as pure gospel. ‘Questions their belief’. Yeah right – look at how insecure you folks are about your lame conspiracy theories. This website is your matrix.

Hey Ris/Jin, if you two are so sure you’re right, then why are you here? Come on guys, get a life and go read something. What a waste of oxygen you two are!!!
December 8th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
jin isn’t sheep, I think he feels that this battle should be fought differently. I say let him find sources that fit him. As for the other guy his reference to the matrix made no sense, just another idiot trying to be clever.

Yea, this is up there with that incident a few months ago when they reported on Iranian speed boat threatening a US warship.
Duh!

someone once said “the only solution to a cult that fetishes hate/death, is love/life”. I think this is where Jin is coming from. He is trying to fight them using the Gandhi method. and MAYBE he is right. After all, THEY have the weapons and tech but WE have the numbers and people with hearts. It also takes people to pull the triggers on the guns.
“NO WAR” are two negative words, “CREATE PEACE” are positive words.

Palindrome series! Madam I’m Adam.Palindrome actions false telephone call but not false because of official matters and a further telephone call,saying it was a Hoax call!?Claim this but cannot claim that because this and that only separate as twins at is and at,tis a bloody problem.Seriously ,if both countries want Peace,enjoy the fact you are neighbours with difficulties between you as nations.And let no other countries be allowed to begrudge on behave of either country and,know your own difficulties and grudges ,maybe,entirely real, whereas interference,means an unacceptable level of difficulties and interference.Pakistan and India cannot swallow the crocodile that would swallow them,it maybe worthy ,to look out for the crocodile tears from strangers.

I think this guy alex is going way too far with his theories which he originally acquired from other authors.yesterday he interviewed the former chief of pakistani intelligence general hamid gul.a former head of ISI,an organization which he has accused of working with the CIA for hatching the ‘9/11 conspiracy’.he is interviewing the same very kind of people he has condemned and spoken against in the past and taking their word for compiling the conclusions of his expert reports splattered all over his website manufactured without an inkling of the actual politico economic situation of the indian subcontinent.he doesn’t know a dime about who gets to gain and who gets to lose from an event of any political significance like the mumbai attacks and his reports are based on the accounts of people with extremely questionable credibilities like a former ISI chief.ISI has been accused of aiding the establishment of taliban regime in afghanistan and woking with CIA in its sinister operations by various non mainstream independent researchers and now alex jones is taking the word of its former head in manufacturing his reports.i am british & i have lived in india for over five years and i have an array of friends in both mainstream and non mainstream journalistic societies in india.believe me,i am well versed with the politico economic situation in the indian subcontinent.At this point of time ,absolutely no political party stands to gain from the mumbai attacks and the prevailing tension with pakistan,neither the hindu fundamentalist parties nor the ruling congress led coalition regime.absolutely nobody is getting more votes after this incident and the popularity of all the national level political parties and leaders has taken a nose dive with an overall anger in the public over the laxity of the government and the overall lack of effort and concern among the politicians in ensuring the safety of the citizens.that is right ,the things that the indian establishment can be blamed for is widespread corruption ranging from medical to civil construction contracts and therefore indulgence in a continuous effort to keep the powers and positions.this is what causes the unpreparedness of the whole establishment in tackling an event like the mumbai attacks.CCTV footage from the CST railway station has clearly shown a group of policemen firing back with their WW2 era 303 guns at terrorists armed with AK47s and grenades.the reason some policemen at the CST station(if these reports are believed to be true for a moment)did not fire has more to do with the obsolete equipment that hasn’t been used in a decade, inadequate training imparted decades ago without any refresher programme midway and absolutely no weapons practice and drills for years undertaken by the railway policemen for tackling such an extreme situation.if the pseudo perpetrators in the indian establishment had to give stand down orders,don’t you think they would have given them to the commandoes tackling the hostage situation at the Taj hotel as the terrorists there had held over a 100 people hostage with more than 8kg of RDX(a quantity of the powerful explosive enough to blow up an entire section of the building) rather than giving stand down orders to a few poorly armed railway policemen who couldn’t do much anyway with their jammed WW2 era rifles.
so people, apply your thought before believing reports manufactured upon the accounts and interviews of individuals who are not neutral to this situation in the first place and generate an awareness among yourself to filter genuine reporting from the reporting of sensationalism that has been going on this website since the mumbai attacks.mr. jones and friends have manufactured these reports quoting people which are clearly not neutral in this event and are in fact blatantly inclined towards pakistan ,without even referring to or consulting a neutral strategic expert on the subcontinent or a strategic expert from the indian side and hatched all his stories with half the truth and half the information providing moribund conclusions to the people who follow his sensationalist reporting.
moreover,it is absolutely inethical to believe a story vehemently accusing the establishment of another country we don’t know enough about for a situation we don’t know enough about in the backdrop of the strategic and political environment we don’t know a thing about.we have no right to blindly extend the critical viewpoints that we have on our governments to other goverments and extend the assumptions that we make about our governments to other governments.it is a moral monstrosity and a worse thing to do than our governments’ policies of division and hatred to apply the corollaries that we have established from events in our own countries to those we know nothing about and simply establishing a nexus between them.
so people it’s high time for you to wake up and realize that people like alex jones are actually furthering our governments’ agenda of fear and hatred and are just making profit out of it by creating unnecessary sensation in order to maintain and enhance the theme of his work and website(which also includes harnessing the fear for the sale of some products).It’s only our own awareness and sincerity that is going to make difference and prevent us from an apparent downturn facing our societies.we need to become aware of what is right and what is not and refine our sense of judgement.only then can we be capable of making the right decisions and taking the right actions.
