Top Taliban Commander arrested from Karachi

MQM and Altaf Hussain from a long time pointing towards increasing Talbanization of Karachi but the ANTI KARACHI forces who don't have anything to do with the life and Security of the People of Karachi always insists that there is no Migration of Talibans from NWFP or from Afghanistan and No Talibanization in Karachi.

But the arrest of Mullah Omer Top Commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar or Simply Mullah Baradar from KARACHI shows the height of danger for the citizens of Karachi.


People of Karachi now you can easily identify the People

who are fooling you that there are NO TALIBANS and NO

TALIBANIZATION in Karachi.




WASHINGTON (AFP) – US and Pakistani spies have captured theTaliban's top military commander, US media reported, but the militia Tuesday denied his arrest and said he was still leading the fight inAfghanistan.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was arrested in Pakistan's sprawling port city of Karachi "several days ago" by US and Pakistani intelligence services, the New York Times and US media said, citing unnamed US government officials.
If confirmed, the arrest would be a huge blow for the Taliban, which have been fighting to bring down the Afghan government and evict Western troops since the 2001 US-led invasion removed them from power for sheltering Al-Qaeda.
The report emerged as 15,000 US, NATO and Afghan troops press on with a major assault to capture the Taliban bastion of Marjah in southern Afghanistan, key to Washington's new strategy for turning around the costly war.
The New York Times billed Afghan-born Baradar as top lieutenant to the Taliban's one-eyed and elusive leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and said he was currently being interrogated by Pakistani and US officials.
But the Taliban denied Baradar's capture, and accused US officials of trying to deflect attention from "serious resistance" put up by Taliban fighters as the Marjah offensive entered a fourth day.
"We strongly reject the reports of his arrest," Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location.
"He is currently in Afghanistan, where he is leading all jihadi activities... The sole goal of such baseless reporting and propaganda is to make up for the failure in Marjah."
Officials from Pakistan's military and the government were not immediately available for comment on the reports. Senior police officials in Karachi said they had no information.
"We are unaware of any such operation. We do not know that any such arrest has been made," one police official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Baradar is in charge of the Taliban's military operations and leadership council, and was a close associate of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the New York Times said.
It quoted US officials saying they hoped his capture will lead them to other senior Taliban officials.
The details of Baradar's capture were not clear, but the New York Times said it was carried out by Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives.
US television channel ABC also cited a senior official as saying Baradar was captured several days ago and calling it "a very big deal".
"If he were taken off the battlefield, it would deal a major setback to the Afghan Taliban and be a personal blow to Mullah Omar, who has relied heavily on him for years," an unnamed counter-terrorism official told the station.
An Interpol profile said 42-year-old Baradar was a senior Taliban military commander, subject to tough UN sanctions and gave his location as the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Many Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants seek sanctuary in the rugged and semi-autonomous tribal belt in northwest Pakistan, and Washington has been pressing Islamabad to do more to dismantle the extremist sanctuaries.
The Afghan Taliban shadow government is widely reported by Western officials to have its headquarters inQuetta city, the capital of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province.
Baradar is said to be second-in-command of the so-called Quetta Shura -- although Pakistani officials have denied a Taliban presence in the city.
Reports of Baradar's capture come as the US military reports slow progress in the ground and air offensive against opium-rich Marjah in the southern Afghan province of Helmand, a Taliban stronghold.
The assault is the first major test of US President Barack Obama's strategy to crush the eight-year Taliban insurgency and one of the biggest since the 2001 US-led invasion brought down the Taliban regime.

Mullah Omer might be hiding in Karachi as well.

After the arrest of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund from Karachi, The Pakistani intelligence sources do not rule out the possibility of the presence of many more senior Taliban leaders in Karachi, including Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Renown Journalist Amir Mir in his report revealed this.

The people who are denouncing the MQM and Altaf Hussain stance about Talibans should apologize the people of Karachi for lying with them and putting their lives in Danger by saying there are no Talibans in Karachi.


Here is the report:

Taliban commander captured in joint raid in Karachi
Amir Mir / DNA

ISLAMABAD: The arrest of Afghan Taliban’s No 2 Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund from Pakistan’s commercial capital of Karachi in a joint raid carried out by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives has come as a major blow to the extremist militia led by the fugitive Taliban ameer Mullah Mohammad Omar.

According to well placed Pakistani intelligence sources, Baradar’s arrest became possible because of a rift within the Taliban ranks which led to a tip about his whereabouts in Karachi. He was subsequently arrested on February following a raid jointly carried out by the Pakistani and the American intelligence sleuths.
Born in 1968 at Weetmak Village in Dehrawood district of the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan, Mullah Baradar is a key member of the Quetta shura led by Mullah Omar. He had been the deputy defence minister in Afghanistan before the fall of the Taliban regime and considered to be the No 2 in the Taliban militia after Mullah Muhammad Omar. Bardar had been leading the military council of the Afghan Taliban since the 2006 death of Taliban’s former military chief Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Usmani at the hands of the Nato forces.
Baradar has been coordinating the military operations of the Taliban militia throughout south and southwest of Afghanistan and his area of responsibility stretched over Kandahar, Helmand, Nimroz, Zabul and Uruzgan provinces of Afghanistan. Mullah Akhtar and Mullah Baradar were in day-to-day command of the Taliban insurgents ever since Mullah Mohammed Omar had disappeared from the scene.

The intelligence sources in Islamabad said he was hiding in Karachi because the Taliban now consider it the safest place for them in Pakistan to live, where they do not attract attention of the Pakistani and American intelligence agencies by keeping a low profile.

The Pakistani intelligence sources do not rule out the possibility of the presence of many more senior Taliban leaders in Karachi, including Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Missing in Pakistan – Documentary


A very touching film which must be watched by all alike, it was set to be released on Nov 21st in a viewing at FAST-NU Lahore but the authorities clamped down on this and prevented the viewing. Since then it has moved on to the digital world originally uploaded at [ The Critique Aggregator ] while simultaneously uploaded on the Missing in Pakistan blog. Watch the video and spread the word, if you want to download a full screen version then download from RapidShare 103MB

Message from [ The Critique Aggregator ]

The Critique Aggregator (http://paki-blogger.blogspot.com) is a blog maintained by concerned activists, academics, some of them of Pakistani origin, some non-Pakistani but concerned with the situation in Pakistan, living wherever they are. The aim of the blog is to resist state oppression in Pakistan and to disseminate critical information. The bloggers have just uploaded a video on people Missing in Pakistan. We are not taking the credit for the video either. We are only the disseminators. Watch the video released today by the students at a protesting university in Lahore. The names of the documentary filmmakers are in the movie. So the credit goes to the brave filmmakers. Not to us. The bloggers also seek anonymous contributions from all concerned citizens of the world on the situation in Pakistan.

Send in your anonymous contributions to this email address. We will not publish any story with a name so do not send anything with your real name. The focus is on privacy and safety. Not on gaining fame. Namelessness and facelessness are the most well-known resistance tactics. Forget them and you are eaten by the agencies of Pakistan.

It is a viral movement. We want to publish fearless stories. Individual opinions. Cutting-edge reports. Protest tactics. We are trying to become the faceless multitude. The flash protest. The autonomous viral movement of resistant action. This is not the time to cut a deal with Musharraf or his cronies or the Empire that supports Busharraf or to garner fame. This is the time to try and push for a change in Pakistan.

NOTE: If you send something to us for publication and it has your REAL name on it, we will change the name. So it is better if you use a consistent nom de guerre / pen name for yourself. It is even better if this name is symbolic or figurative (like LUMS Pamphleteer) so that there is no accidental resemblance with any real person. We can give due credit to your nom de guerre. Please also try to substantiate your analysis with pictures and videos. We are not trying to replace other blogs but to complement them because we have very fast uploading connections. We support the movement at LUMS, FAST-NU, BNU, Quaid e Azam University, Punjab University and elsewhere in Pakistan. We do not seek any recognition. We are part of the collective struggle.

ANOTHER NOTE: Some of the stuff on the blog is rude or uses coarse language. But after seeing the video on the missing people, you will forgive our little rude jokes on Musharraf. It is our attempt to laugh in the face of extremely rude dictatorship by being a little bit obscene every now and then. It is all political humor. Milan Kundera has written somewhere that, during the Soviet Occupation, people recognized the members of the resistance in Czechoslovakia because of their tendency to laugh. Laughter is subversive too. This blog will be maintained by volunteers and many people already know the password. So if one or two persons are removed or hunted down, it will not be silenced. It is already a work of a multitude and all of them use the same username and password.

Missing Pakistani – Dr. Afia Siddiqui – Prisoner 650

A few days back the Asian Human Rights Commission issued an urgent press release about a Pakistani, Dr. Afia Siddiqui, who has been missing from Pakistan for over four years, since 2003. Her kidnapping has since then been denied by both American and Pakistani governments but actually she has been suspected of being an operative of Al-Qaeda and has been on FBI’s wanted list. There is reason to believe that she is also one of the missing persons who had been ‘handed over’ to the Americans courtesy of Pervaiz Musharraf. Let us not forget that the missing persons case was a turning point in the history of Pakistan where Pervaiz Musharraf had a severe falling out with the then CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry who was investigating this case and probably stepped on a few toes definitely ended up rumbling a few skeleton locked within Musharraf’s treasure chest of hidden secrets




ACTION ALERT

  1. Sign Asian Human Rights Commission’s Urgent letter of Appeal which will send an email to Bush, Karzai, Gilani, Farooq Naek & Rehman Malik
  2. Sign the online petition for her release
  3. Join Facebook groups to participate in digital activism to raise awareness here and here
  4. Spread the word by email & SMS to all your contacts so as to create more pressure
Dr. Afia Siddiqui left her mother’s house in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Sindh province, along with her three children, in a Metro-cab on March 30, 2003 to catch a flight for Rawalpindi, Punjab province, but never reached the airport. The press reports claimed that Dr. Afia had been picked-up by Pakistani intelligence agencies while on her way to the airport and initial reports suggested that she was handed over to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). At the time of her arrest she was 30 years and the mother of three sons the oldest of which was four and the youngest only one month.
A few days later an American news channel, NBC, reported that Afia had been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of facilitating money transfers for terror networks of Osama Bin Laden. The mother of the victim, Mrs. Ismat (who has since passed away) termed the NBC report absurd. She went on to say that Dr. Afia is a neurological scientist and has been living with her husband, Amjad, in the USA for several years.

On April 1, 2003, a small news item was published in an Urdu daily with reference to a press conference of the then Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat. When questioned with regard to Dr. Afia’s arrest he denied that she had been arrested. This was followed by another Urdu daily article on April 2 regarding another press conference in which the same minister said Dr. Afia was connected to Al Qaeda and that she had not been arrested as she was absconding. He added: “You will be astonished to know about the activities of Dr. Afia” A Monthly English magazine of Karachi in a special coverage on Dr. Afia reported that one week after her disappearance, a plain clothed intelligence went to her mother’s house and warned her, “We know that you are connected to higher-ups but do not make an issue out of your daughter’s disappearance.” According to the report the mother was threatened her with ‘dire consequences’ if she made a fuss.
Whilst Dr. Afia’s whereabouts remain unknown, there are reports of a woman called ‘Prisoner 650′ is being detained in Afghanistan’s Bagram prison and that she has been tortured to the point where she has lost her mind. Britain’s Lord Nazeer Ahmed, (of the House of Lords), asked questions in the House about the condition of Prisoner 650 who, according to him is physically tortured and continuously raped by the officers at prison. Lord Nazeer has also submitted that Prisoner 650 has no separate toilet facilities and has to attend to her bathing and movements in full view of the other prisoners.
Also, on July 6, 2008 a British journalist, Yvonne Ridley, called for help for a Pakistani woman she believes has been held in isolation by the Americans in their Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, for over four years. “I call her the ‘grey lady’ because she is almost a ghost, a spectre whose cries and screams continues to haunt those who heard her,” Ms Ridley said at a press conference.
Ms Ridley, who went to Pakistan to appeal for help, said the case came to her attention when she read the book, The Enemy Combatant, by a former Guantanamo detainee, Moazzam Begg. After being seized in February 2002 in Islamabad, Mr Begg was held in detention centres in Kandahar and Bagram for about a year before he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay. He recounted his experiences in the book after his release in 2005. Mr. Imran Khan, leader of Justice Party (T.I) suspects that prisoner 650 is the Dr. Afia Siddiqui and USA and Pakistani authorities are hiding facts of ‘Prisoner 650′.
To date, neither the American nor the Pakistani government have come out about the arrest and detention of Dr. Afia in either Bagram or Guantanamo Bay where suspected terrorists are held. On December 30, 2003 Dr. Fawzia Siddiqui, Dr. Afia’s elder sister met with Mr Faisal Saleh Hayat at Islamabad with Mr Ejazul Haq, MNA, regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Afiai. Mr Faisal told Dr. Fawzia and Mr Ejazul Haq that according to his information Dr. Afia Siddiqui had already been released and that she (Dr. Fawzia) should go home and wait for a phone call from her sister.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Dr. Afia Siddiqui, who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, for about 10 years and did her PhD in genetics, returned to Pakistan in 2002. Having failed to get a suitable job, she again visited the US on a valid visa in February 2003 to search for a job and to submit an application to the US immigration authorities. She moved there freely and came back to Karachi by the end of February 2003 after renting a post office box in her name in Maryland for the receipt of her mail. It has been claimed by the FBI (Newsweek International, June 23, 2003, issue) that the box was hired for one Mr Majid Khan, an alleged member of Al Qaeda residing in Baltimore.
Throughout March 2003 flashes of the particulars of Dr. Afia were telecast with her photo on American TV channels and radios painting her as a dangerous Al Qaeda person needed by the FBI for interrogation. On learning of the FBI campaign against her she went underground in Karachi and remained so till her kidnapping. The June 23, 2003, issue of Newsweek International was exclusively devoted to Al Qaeda. The core of the issue was an article “Al Qaeda’s Network in America”. The article has three photographs of so-called Al Qaeda members – Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, Dr. Afia Siddiqui and Ali S. Al Marri of Qatar who has studied in the US like Dr. Siddiqui and had long since returned to his homeland. In this article, which has been authored by eight journalists who had access to FBI records, the only charge leveled against Dr. Afia is that “she rented a post-office box to help a former resident of Baltimore named Majid Khan (alleged Al Qaeda suspect) to help establish his US identity.
NewsLine while doing a story in 2003 – Mysterious Cover-up Mazhar Abbass reports that
Surprisingly there has been no official report registered with the police about Afia’s disappearance which explains why Afia’s mother wanted to avoid going public. The police, meanwhile, is doing nothing to trace Afia. “We have no knowledge about this case nor has anyone contacted me,” said Sindh police chief, Syed Kamal Shah. Ismat Siddiqui, however, claims that she has spoken to high police officials, including Shah, about her daughter’s disappearance. A week after the incident, Mrs. Siddiqui alleges that an intelligence agency official came to her house and warned her not to make an issue out of her daughter’s disappearance and threatened her with dire consequences.
Daily Times gives a detailed account of her mysterious disappearance in 2004 – The strange story of Aafia Siddiqui
Months later, the FBI would make its most devastating claim against Siddiqui. It was still dark on the morning of March 1, 2003, when Pakistani authorities arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a known September 11 mastermind, at a Karachi safe house. The arrest made news around the world. It also presaged the extraordinary vanishing act of AafiaSiddiqui and her three small children.” It seems Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave up Aafia’s name as being a major Al Qaeda operative.” However, one of her defenders saysSiddiqui ’s identity was likely stolen. “Aafia was, I think, probably a pretty naive and trusting person and my guess is it would be pretty easy for somebody who wanted to steal an identity to just steal it.” About a month after his capture in the spring of 2003, she disappeared.
The question is where is Afia and why are police and intelligence agencies silent? Is she in the custody of the FBI or the ISI? Another possibility is that Afia might have been kidnapped by her ex-husband, who may have links with Al-Qaeda. Whatever the case, there seems to be a deliberate attempt to hush up the mysterious circumstances behind Afia Siddiqui’s disappearance
