Islamabad :

Pakistan is prepared to make all the right sounds which are designer suggested to suit terrorist and criminal elements of that country. Ibrahim, Malik, interior minister of Pakistan has again started fending to provide enough space for operations to hard boiled gangsters like Maulana Masood Azhar and Dawood Ibrahim. He annonced today that these two of the most wanted criminals of the world are not living within Pakistani territory. This eyewash follows the statement of defence minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar who told an Indian news channel in December 2008 that Azhar had been detained by Pakistani authorities. It can be recalled here that in a demarche issued after the Mumbai terror attacks, India had asked Pakistan to hand over Azhar togther with Tiger Memon and Dawood Ibrahim.

This conspicuous dilly-dallying by Pakistani government has got two ominous portentions. Pakistan has been decisively benumbed by the Taliban-fed terrorists. Later on, it was awstruck by Dawood’s overturess to strengthen its ties with a political faction of that outlawed outfit. That was enough indication from the underworld don to the government of Pakistan not to give a thought to any adventure of handing him over to India. His relationships with Maulana Fazlullah aka Maulana Radio, commander of Tehrik Nifaz Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), an organisation active in areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, especially Swat, forced the hands of Pak government.

Secondly, His capture and handover to India might prove inconvenient for either the ISI or the CIA, or both.That’s why Ibrahim’s role is being downplayed and Lakhvi’s known role is being exaggerated. It is said that Dawood was very angry at his old CIA buddies for their turn-coat betrayal as they colluded with the Indian Government, the Pakistani secret service, ISI, and Israeli Mossad to oust him from his redoubt in Quetta, Pakistan and extradite him to India. He was so enraged he knew he could strike a blow directly at his enemies and send them a clear message in Mumbai at the Trident Oberoi Hotel, a gathering place for foreign intelligence operatives, and the Orthodox Jewish Chabad House, so he financed, planned, and supplied weapons, equipment and logistic for the multiple attacks by what now appears to be Lashkar-e-Taiyaba (LET) terrorists.
