India puts Pakistani army officers on “most wanted” list

[Machoman]

NEW DELHI: India has named five Pakistani army officers in a list of 50 criminals it wants extradited to stand trial on terror charges, the first time India has directly accused serving Pakistani military officers of being involved with militancy.

The “most-wanted list” was handed to Pakistan in March, its contents have only just been released. The timing of the release coincides with increasing pressure on Pakistan over claims it harboured Osama bin Laden.

Indian Home Secretary G.K. Pillai presented the list to his Pakistani counterpart, Qamar Zaman Choudhary, during a meeting in March, a senior government official with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

New Delhi has long accused Pakistan of harbouring militants such as the those behind the Mumbai attacks in 2008 that killed 166 people, who it says were supported by the country’s military intelligence agency, the ISI.

In addition to five serving majors in the Pakistan army, the list includes accused underworld leader Dawood Ibrahim, and suspected members of militant groups al Qaeda, Lakshar-e-Toiba and Jasih-e-Mohammed.

US special forces killed bin Laden at his home in a military town 50 km (30 miles) from Islamabad this month, leading to accusations that security agencies were either incompetent or sheltering the word’s most wanted man.

Nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have gone to war three times since 1947.

The two sides have been making tentative moves to revive a sluggish 2004 peace process that was broken off by New Delhi following the Mumbai attacks.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will visit Afghanistan “in the near future” to discuss security and development, a senior government official said on Wednesday, amid regional uncertainty following bin Laden’s death.

Any quickening of the endgame in Afghanistan is a concern for India, which fears a US withdrawal would leave it exposed to an unfriendly, Pakistan-dominated neighbourhood and unfettered militancy in its backyard.

India does. That's all that matters to us.

We are only issuing papers for now. Who knows one day we might just get so hopeless with you guy that we actually decide to go after these scums in our own way.

Not the US way but the 'non-state actors' way.

 

[notsuperstitious]

India has arrested its own officers for involvement in terrorism, we do not think Army officers are god's second coming and infallible and above the law and constitution.

They are just terrorists, in uniform or not, there is no need for Pakistanis to cry blasphemy over this. Clean up the terror network, for YOUR own good.

Unless they are just doing Pakistan's state assigned duties, in that case Pakistan state owes it to them to protect them at all cost.










Yes, there's a cost.

BBC News - Pakistan: Bin Laden death exposes complex militant ties​

Under huge international pressure, the Pakistani authorities put the founder of the organisation, Hafiz Saeed, under house arrest, but a few months later released him.

Other members of the group were taken into custody in Pakistan but none of their trials have been processed.

Abbas Nasir, a former editor of the Dawn newspaper, says there are elements of the state that want some militants to be set free.

"People have been killed, the murderers have been arrested, and then released without charge at the behest and the instigation of the security services," he said.

"They perceive India as the biggest enemy that they have. And think they need the jihad, the international jihad forces, to protect them and to reinforce their foreign policy, be it in Afghanistan or Kashmir."

Despite strong evidence that the Taliban carried out the assassination, and the arrest of five suspects, their trials have been delayed on various pretexts.

Jihadis involved in less well-known cases also escape justice but for different reasons.

Fearing reprisals, eyewitnesses and judges are reluctant to give evidence against or to convict jihadis.

In addition, the legal system is stacked in favour of militants. For example, possession of any amount of explosives - including suicide vests - is a bailable offence.

Many police officers have stories about jihadis being let off.

Senior superintendent of police Akbar Nasir Khan, for example, once arrested a man for attacking a politician's house in Peshawar with a rocket launcher.

He arrested him, seized various weapons, and found eyewitnesses who had seen the accused with the rocket launcher.

But three months after the case went to court, the man turned up in Akbar Nasir Khan's office and suggested they have cup of tea.

The court had released him on bail on the grounds that he was not a threat to public security.

The failings of the judicial system mean that, increasingly, for street level militants, it is a case of impunity or death.
