The Terrorists And The Public Sentiment

Posted on 06. Feb, 2012 by in War On Terror

No sympathy with the killers!

By Raja G Mujtaba

Terrorism had hit Pakistan to the extent that it nearly rocked it. It had become a daily routine where suicide killings, high profile military targets and public places were focused very sharply. Objective being to demoralize and tame the public to an extent that they lose faith in the state. A leading group that played a hidden role was of the Blackwater who had inducted locals for their grand design. How and when the Blackwater came in, enough has been said on that. But now the point that is to be highlighted that when the culprits are caught then for the lack of evidence or fear of repercussions the witnesses do not come forward, that makes the case very weak that cannot stand in the ‘Court of Law.’ If we were operating through ‘Court of Justice,’ then it would have been a different scenario.

Public memories are so short that after the incident, they forget the pain and also the havoc caused. Therefore when such culprits are nabbed by the agencies and taken for investigation a public reaction sparks, of course behind all such reactions are the forces funded by foreign hands to further delineate the people from the state machinery.

Now the case of the 11 Adiala Jail Detainees, the ources who have been related to investigation of 11 Adiala jail detainees said that these 11 suspects, Dr Niaz Ahmed Saqib , Mazhar ul Haq , Shafique ur Rehman , Abdul Basit, Abdul Saboor , Abdul Majid , Muhammad Amir Khan Khan, Muhammad Shafiq aka Maaz ,Tehseen ullah , Saeed Arab aka Tariq  Gul, Roze Khan aka Farman are hard core terrorists who are involved in  planning and facilitating suicide attacks on  GHQ (It was an attack in 2007 in which 2 persons were killed before major GHQ attack in 2009) and Hamza Camp (ISI) on 24 November 2007 and Kamra Air Base on 15 January 2008.

On 24 November 2007 Rawalpindi experienced twin suicide attacks on security forces, which killed nearly 30 people and injured dozens more. The first vehicle-borne suicide attack took place at 0749 hours when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden car into a 72-seater bus parked in front of ISI’s Hamza Camp (Previously known as Ojhri Camp) on the Murree Road. According to eyewitnesses, the bus that was carrying ISI officials to their work place and was completely destroyed/ burnt. The people inside the 72-seat bus were burnt beyond recognition and  only skeletons were left lying on the seats before any rescue operation could be started. The second suicide attack occurred at 0805 hours, when another suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden car near a military check-post, after he failed to sneak into the main General Headquarters (GHQ) building of the Pakistan Army. The attack killed two security personnel, while critically injured another.

These suspects were apprehended on various dates from different locations and produced in the court of law. However due to lack of evidence the accused were acquitted by the court of law. All these accused during the course of court proceeding had not only been threatening Superintendent Adiala Jail and the Judge but also to their families if they were punished.

 Same very day the accused were apprehended on the order of DCO under section 16, MPO. However on 28 May 2010 LHC, Rawalpindi Bench declared the detention illegal. On the day of release the accomplices of these terrorists (under the disguise of intelligence agencies) took them to their safe havens in FATA. To cover up their move to FATA their families filed writ petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan, declaring them as missing persons. Under the direction of Supreme Court, LEA carried out operations in FATA and recovered 20 suspects from there including these 11 persons.

Detainees were being interned under “ Action in Aid of Civil Power Regulation 2011 d for FATA/PATA

As per orders of Supreme Court 3 Meetings of all suspects were arranged, in January, September and December, 2011 by security agencies with their family members. All those family members who met with the suspects signed and verified the meetings and record of it is also available.

The public at large and the activists in particular must study the realities, some wrongs committed by the agencies cannot be ruled out but then one must remember that they are also under tremendous pressure where they are working round the clock, their judgments can also err. Instead they must educate and persuade the public to come forward and testify before the court for any knowledge they may have about a particular happening so that trials become more speedy and effective.

    In columns by the celebrated authors Raja Mujtaba, Raja Asif Haroon and SM Hali, I had confessed that I control everything in Pakistan by sitting at my desk in Tel-Aviv. Everything from floods in Sindh to the price of potatoes in Lahore. I had also said that I would pay Generals Kayani and Shuja Pasha to release Haqqani. Behold, That has happened! Haqqani is free, and "memogate" has made Pakistan a laughing-stock of the world.
