Pakistan prison escapee evolves into al Qaeda-backed jailbreak artist
Police officials said nearly 400 inmates escaped, including Adnan Rasheed, who was on death row for trying to assassinate former President Pervez Musharraf.
By Katharine Houreld
ISLAMABAD | Thu Aug 29, 2013
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The young Pakistani militant pounds a boxing bag, removes a pistol from its holster and fires in slow motion across gently sunlit fields.
"After eight years in a death cell, he came out - by the grace of Allah - and now he is back on the battlefield," intones the YouTube video voiceover.
Adnan Rasheed, the long-haired, laughing star of the video, escaped that death cell and went on to set up an Islamist group specializing in jailbreaks, masterminding a raid that freed 250 prisoners, including Taliban militants.
Little was known about the group, Ansar al-Aseer, before the July 30 raid on the jail in the northwestern Pakistani town of Dera Ismail Khan. A well-funded alliance of fighters armed with explosives and rocket-propelled grenades carried out the attack with military-like precision.
Drone strikes have killed many senior militants, but the jailbreak shows how Pakistan faces an uphill struggle in tackling a Taliban insurgency even as the Taliban step up attacks in neighboring Afghanistan. Most NATO troops there are due to leave next year.
Militants from the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, banned Sunni sectarian group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and al Qaeda all co-operated in the jailbreak, security officials and militants said.
Several similar groups have broken up after short periods and the durability of Ansar al-Aseer is not yet clear. But the story of 33-year-old Rasheed, jailed for trying to assassinate former President Pervez Musharraf, illustrates how low-ranking foot-soldiers can evolve into prominent militant commanders.
AN OFFICER NICKNAMED "TALIBAN"
As a young air force officer, Rasheed dreamed of studying in Germany, he told the militant magazine Azan.
But after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States he decided to join the Afghan Taliban. His desertion earned him the nickname "Taliban" and 14 days in military jail.
Later he tried to become a suicide bomber but returned to the air force, discouraged, when his militant group split, he told the magazine. He only returned because he hoped to fight neighboring India, he said.
In 2003, Rasheed and three other members of the air force tried to blow up Musharraf, angered by his alliance with the United States.
The men were jailed, but last year Rasheed escaped with nearly 400 other inmates when militants attacked that prison. Since then, he has appeared in two videos with Ansar al-Aseer, dedicated to freeing militant prisoners.
"My beloved brothers behind bars ... I didn't forget you," he said in Urdu in a video released in January, sitting cross-legged under a tree with two bearded men who later in the clip speak in Russian and German. "The first purpose of this group is to make your release possible by all means."
In the second video, called "Death Squad for Musharraf", Rasheed threatens to send the former president, himself charged with the 2007 murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, "to hell" and his small group of masked fighters perform push ups, leapfrogs and marksmanship exercises.
Last month, Rasheed wrote a letter justifying the Taliban's attempted killing of schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, a campaigner for girls' education in Pakistan. Malala was shot by Taliban gunmen in October as she left school in northwestern Pakistan.
So far, Rasheed's group is relatively unknown. The Taliban already have well-established sub-units, including the Tora Shpa or "Black Night," which raises cash through bank robberies and kidnappings, and the Khorasan, who torture and kill those suspected of directing drone strikes.
AL QAEDA BACKING
Ansar al-Aseer was mainly funded by the Taliban and helped by al Qaeda trainers, two Taliban militants said. Three of the al Qaeda trainers - a Saudi Arabian, a Kuwaiti and a Yemeni - were killed in a drone strike in South Waziristan last month, one of the militants said.
"Ansar al-Aseer's aim is to attack the jails and sub-jails where our mujahideen brothers are present," a senior Taliban commander told Reuters. "Financially it is supported by a number of groups ... al Qaeda provides support and weapons training to the new recruits."
But militant sub-groups frequently disband or change names to confuse security services or as loyalties shift, said Saifullah Mahsud of the FATA Research Center, which tracks militant activity in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The jailbreak was the first time many militants had heard of Ansar al-Aseer, he said.
The attack on Dera Ismail Khan underscored the militants' ability to infiltrate the security forces. A handful of fighters went to town three months beforehand to cultivate police and prison contacts, a security official said.
One such sympathizer opened the prison's main gate for the militants, he said.
The jailbreak itself had been meticulously planned. Some fighters donned police uniforms. Others disguised as a military convoy roared down from the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan. Plainclothes fighters cut power to the jail and set up nine roadblocks to ambush reinforcements. Radio messages tricked soldiers into preparing for an attack on the barracks.
The tactics were so successful that the attackers did not use the seven suicide bombers they had on standby, the security official said.
After the attack, authorities said they would beef up security around high-profile detainees. But few think that will deter future raids.
"The state is not waking up," the security official said. "We are going to see more of these attacks."

We have to stop the tide of terrorist attacks in Pakistan. We should be pro-active and should eliminate threats before they occur. The army has my respect but I am very worried about our failures. Not a single top terrorist commander captured or killed, daily attacks by the militants and no solution or easy end to this war in sight I really get depressed.
We should make solid efforts to defeat the terrorists utterly and salvage some of the Pakistan army's respect.

Three ?peace committee? activists beheaded - DAWN.COM
LANDI KOTAL: Militants beheaded three activists of a peace committee and kidnapped four others during an attack on a house in Bara early on Monday, sources said.
A gang of armed men resorted to heavy firing before storming the house in Qambarabad area of Shalobar.
Jahangir Khan, a member of the Shalobar peace committee, told Dawn that they had found headless bodies of three of their colleagues, adding that four others had been taken away by the attackers.
The committee members tried to take the bodies to Peshawar and hold a protest demonstration on the Ring Road, but were stopped by security forces.
Mr Khan said security personnel had forcibly taken the bodies from them and shifted them to a Levies centre in Shahkas. He accused the Bara-based Lashkar-i-Islam (LI) of beheading and kidnapping the committee members. The outlawed group also took away the severed heads, he said.
Lashkar-i-Islam denied the allegation and said the group was adhering to a ceasefire it had agreed to after the administration reopened some important roads in Bara.
But the peace committee said they had been receiving threatening SMS from LI’s local commanders.
This was the first incident since the political administration reopened some roads linking Bara to Peshawar and Jamrud.
Locals feared the latest incident would affect peace efforts in Bara and return to the area of thousands of people displaced by the poor law and order.
Meanwhile, an activist of another peace committee was shot dead at Jalozai camp for internally displaced persons in Nowshera district.
Gulabat Khan, a member of the IDP Shura at the camp, told Dawn that gunmen on motorcycle fired at Mirza Khan, killing him on the spot.
He said Mirza Khan was an elder of the Akkakhel tribe and associated with the pro-government peace committee. He had been living at the camp along with his family for more than three years.
It was the first such incident in the camp.

Ansarul Muhajideen suicide bomber kills 2 Pakistani troops
By BILL ROGGIONovember 20, 2013
Ansarul Muhajideen, a jihadist group in Pakistan known to include Uzbek fighters, claimed credit for a suicide attack in the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan today that killed two paramilitary Frontier Corps troops. The group's spokesman said the attack was carried out to avenge the death of former Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan emir Hakeemullah Mehsud, who was killed earlier this month in a US drone strike.
The suicide bomber attacked a Frontier Corps checkpoint on the Bannu-Mir Ali Road earlier today, killing two troops and wounding seven more, Dawn reported. The paramilitary Frontier Corps are a frequent target of jihadists in the tribal areas as they are not as well armed or as well trained as regular Pakistani Army troops.
Abu Baseer, the spokesman for Ansarul Muhajideen, claimed the attack in a statement that was given to AFP. He said the group was taking revenge on Pakistani forces for permitting the US to conduct the Nov. 1 drone strike in Miramshah, North Waziristan, that killed Hakeemullah.
Ansarul Muhajideen has claimed credit for three other attacks against Pakistani military forces in the past year. On Jan. 13, the group ambushed a Pakistani military convoy as it traveled on a road in the Ramzak area of North Waziristan. Fourteen soldiers were killed in the attack and 25 more were wounded. A spokesman claimed the attack was carried out to retaliate for Pakistani military complicity in the US drone campaign in Pakistan's tribal areas.
Less than two weeks prior to the Ansarul Mujahideen attack, the US killed Mullah Nazir in a drone strike. Nazir was a powerful independent Taliban commander in South Waziristan who also said he was a member of al Qaeda; he was not affiliated with the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan.
On July 26, Ansarul Mujahideen claimed credit for a double suicide attack in Kurram that killed 57 people and wounded 167 more. Abu Baseer said the group would "plan more similar attacks against the Shi'ite community in Pakistan to seek revenge for the brutalities of Shi'ites against Sunni Muslims in Syria and Iraq."
And on Sept. 1, the jihadist group killed nine Frontier Corps troops and wounded 20 more in an IED attack on a convoy that was traveling from the Data Khel area, a known al Qaeda haven in North Waziristan, to Miramshah, a Haqqani Network stronghold. Abu Baseer said the attack was conducted to avenge a drone strike that killed four members of the Turkistan Islamic Party, a terror group that is allied with al Qaeda, the Taliban, and a host of other jihadist organizations based in the area.

Uzbekistan is a place that tolerates no dissent; where even mere mention of anti-national activity is met with iron fist.
We need to do to those people what their leaders in their homeland do.

IMU (Islamic movement of Uzbekistan) is much feared by the Uzbek Government . Islam Karimov (the president of Uzbekistan since ever) is no more than a puppet in the hands of mafia (Saleem/Ghafoor brothers originally) and if you go to areas away from major cities like Tashkent (e.g Farghana) There is no writ of the govt. And there is a famous Afghan saying "The mercy of a Uzbek equals the anger of a Afghan "... So these Turkic central Asians should not be taken so lightly . They indeed are ferocious warriors .. Ask the Russians about the resistance they had to face while conquering Tashkent ..

we've had our fair share of dealings with them too
like Chechens they can indeed be ferocious and motivated opponents when having to deal with them
the quote you cited is spot on

Terrorists of the Taliban continue to wreak havoc on Pakistan. I believe if we follow these points underlined below we will succeed in clearing Pakistan of this mess.
1) Proper intelligence network, not shoddy intelligence chasing innocent civilians instead of terrorists but real intelligence.
2) Repeal of biased disgraceful laws based on Shariah such as the hudood law and blasphemy law.
3) Rehaul of the education system. Stop preaching hate to children about Hindus and anyone else.
4) End of the draconian collective responsibility act of FCR which holds an entire tribe responsible for the actions of one evil man.
5) Development through education programs and improving the basic lifestyle of the local inhabitants.
6) Teach tolerance and inter-faith harmony through courses in the school level.
7) Improvement of the security forces and the police (also the frontier constabulary) as a bulwark against terrorists.
8) Targetted operations against the terrorists which do not harm innocent civilians. Great care is needed to avoid civilian casualties often caused by artillary shelling and airstrikes
9) Elimination of militant commanders through targeted operations.
10) No talk of peace deals with the Taliban.
11) No painting of liberals as enemies of Pakistan, instead listening to their message of peace and harmony.
12) Combat terrorism through television and radio ads. Initiate a law that demands television channels and radio channels to play a government message against terrorism to the people of Pakistan.
13) Introduce a government accepted curriculam to combat terrorism in madrassas and religious schools.
14) Mullahs who preach at mosques should be handpicked from an academy where tolerance is preached instead of hate against other religions. Their sermons should strictly be controlled by a legal body. This is to ensure that no hate is promoted.
15) Stop the drone attacks and take charge of fighting this war ourselves, not on foreign behest. Develop strategies to hunt down top commanders of the TTP we need to eliminate instead of targetting the Haqqanis, Nazirs and Hekmatyars
16) Cut the funding of the Taliban. Eliminate their sources of income and cut off their finances.
17) Stop the militants ability to recruit anywhere. Destroy their bastions and eliminate their recruitment bases.
18) End injustice. Injustice provides the militants opportunities to recruit. Make sure a poor person is never mistreated.
19) Try to create divisions within the Taliban network. For example make group A fight group B. We don't have to do anything other than watch the Taliban destroy themselves.
20) Make FATA either a new province or merge it with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
