Cellphone links Bin Laden to ISI: Report

WASHINGTON: A cellphone used by Osama bin Laden’s courier appears to show that the al Qaeda leader was aided by militants linked to Pakistani intelligence, The New York Times said Thursday.

Citing US officials briefed on an investigation into the phone, the Times said calls from the device were traced to Harakat-ul-Mujahideen, a militant group linked to Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.

“It’s a serious lead,” one US official told the Times. “It’s an avenue we’re investigating.

“Another US official told the daily that the link was not, however, a “smoking gun” that definitively linked bin Laden to the ISI, as it was unclear if the calls were related to him.

The phone was seized during a daring US commando raid in Pakistan last month in which both bin Laden and his courier were killed.

The Pakistan-based Harakat ul-Mujahideen is classified as a “terrorist” organisation by the United States.

Defence analysis group Jane’s said the outfit has conducted raids on Indian security positions and is active in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

The Times said it has maintained clandestine links with the ISI for years.

Relations between Pakistan and the United States, tense at the best of times, deteriorated sharply over the bin Laden raid, which humiliated the Pakistani military and invited allegations of incompetence and complicity.

As US President Barack Obama seeks to bring an end to the war in Pakistan’s neighbour Afghanistan, US and Pakistani officials have sought to play down any unease between them.

There have been reports that this outfit has had links to Indian intelligence organisation RAW. I believe that the link ultimately will lead to links with RAW.

Sir, as I understand from numerous Pakistani posters here, RAW is capable of the most astounding feats of conspiracy. So stationing bin Laden in Abbottabad is merely a small matter for RAW. And, perhaps, RAW has ensconced Mullah Omar in the Sui cantonment in Baluchistan. Now, IF RAW has put Mullah Omar in Sui cantonment, I suggest you inform your RAW buddies to move him before we get our stealth helicopters repaired ....

Actually both Kayani and Zaradri are RAW agents, so is Pasha. GOI pays for them to create LeT so that Congress can win election. Only Rehman Malik sometimes get out of control when his paycheck is held for a while.
