North Waziristan operation: Pakistan hoodwinked world community into thinking operation is fruitful: NDS
KABUL, July 23 (INP): National Directorate of Security (NDS) said on Wednesday that operation launched by Pakistani security forces in North Waziristan was only against “bad Taliban” as other terror organizations, particularly Haqqani Network, were still operating without any let or hindrance. The premier spy agency of Afghanistan said that Pakistan was deceiving international community on pretext of the operation. Spokesman of the NDS, Abdul Haseeb Sediqi, said: “Pakistan’s military operation in North Waziristan is failed one because Pakistani authorities claimed the operation will be against all militant groups including foreigners. But no achievement has been made in this regard. The operation is unacceptable for Afghanistan.” Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday he said that NDS closely observed the operation. Expressing concerns over result of the operation he said that so far no action has been taken against foreign terror groups which are challenging peace and security of the region. Pointing to Haqqani Network as important terrorist network, he said that even Haqqani was not touched in the operation. He said that according to our reports, high ranking leaders of the Haqqani Network and other terrorist groups had fled from North Waziristan before the operation and were residing now in Kurram Agency, Karachi, Quetta, and Islamabad. “Following directions of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, Haqqani Network left North Waziristan for Tal and Spin Tal of Kurram Agency. The network had huge cache of weapons and used 150 vehicles two weeks before the operation to shift from Waziristan,” he said. The spokesman further said that Hafiz Gul Bahadar group and Lashkar-e-Taiba which is led by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed also remained safe. He said that due to all mentioned factor till date no well-known terrorist have been killed or captured in the area. Drone attack was the only factor that some terrorist networks have sustained casualties in the recent week North Waziristan. Sediqi said that considering all facts, Pakistan must accept that the operation was not successful or it was not against international terror outfits, but it was only for its own specific goals including continuation of previous policies—deceiving public and Intentional community, particularly the US to get assistance. He said that international community should understand that no change has been observed in policies of Pakistan’s secret services agencies in the current war on terror. “There is no sign of honesty on part of Pakistan.” Pakistan is involved directly in insecurity of region and is operating inverse to expectation of international community, he insisted. He highlighted that majority of Pakistan’s military movement is for supporting and propagation of international terrorism and using terrorism as a tool to maintain pressure in the region. Pakistan launched the long-awaited military offensive on June 15 under pretext of fighting terrorism, which was ineffective and displace of over one million people living in North Waziristan, he underlined.
