Pakistan orders arrest of Blackwater agents

[MilSpec]

In addition, how about asking 'our brother' UAE to extradite Eric Prince?

Erik Prince doesn't own blackwater anymore....

 

[TOPGUN]

Capture them , arrest them get intel of their operations and then kill them ... simply.

 

[Dubious]

Capture them, get Info and than blast them and blame it on TTP.

or just say ...oops collateral damage like what happens when our children end up as collateral damage

 

[acid rain]

press tv?

I thought this was real news.

 

[graphican]

I wonder has this already been done or is this news trying to save black-water butchers. But there is a missing segment in the news.. ISI should not just identify but eliminate black-water and all good Americans behind such crimes inside Pakistan. A clean sweep is awaited.

all these arab countries are backstabbers & western puppets, especially KSA and UAE

The Pakistani government has given a one-week deadline to the country’s intelligence services to identify and apprehend members of the notorious American security firm Blackwater (currently known as Xe Services LLC) in Pakistan.

The deadline was issued following intelligence reports about the ongoing presence of Blackwater agents on Pakistani soil.

According to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Blackwater agents are still operating in the country.

The Xe Services operatives were reportedly involved in the assassination of senior leader of Haqqani terrorist network Nasiruddin Haqqani on the outskirts of Islamabad on November 10.

Nasiruddin was the son of Jalaluddin Haqqani, the leader of Pakistan-based Haqqani militant network.

In 2009, Blackwater conducted extensive activities and terrorist operations across Pakistan, however, the former Pakistani government denied that the US security contractor is present in the country.

Blackwater was established in 1998 with the aim of conducting acts of espionage and military operations in crisis-hit regions across the world.

The company has been struggling with a trail of legal cases and civil lawsuits, including one for killing 17 Iraqi civilians during a Baghdad shootout in 2007.

Blackwater’s operations have led to human rights violations. They have also carried out targeted assassinations inside and outside Pakistan. The company’s operatives also gather intelligence and help direct a secret US military drone bombing campaign that runs parallel to the well-documented CIA assassination drone strikes.

Investigative journalist Webster Griffin Tarpley says the Xe Services is behind the ongoing terrorist attacks in Pakistan in an attempt to incite civil war in the country mainly in line with the US policy to prevent Pakistan from becoming an energy corridor between Iran and China.

PressTV - Pakistan orders arrest of Blackwater agents

presstv? lol! any reliable sources?

 

[VCheng]

IF this story is true, then what are we waiting for? It makes no sense at all.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

We can trust local agencies to deal with international terrorism , we can't have militia running around in country so we just have to wait and see what happens

 

[Imran Khan]

and they published it in media now blackwater guys are waiting for them in homes ? what a stupidity

 

[Jf Thunder]

identify them, torture them, extract intelligence, use them for experimentation and sell their organs

 

[Imran Khan]

even if they were brainless donkey now they will be in UAE to leg back US

Trust me, this is just Topi Drama... If they government was serious about capturing expat contractors they can do it in a day... The Pakistani security sector is BIG business worth $100 Million a YEAR!

There are only 4 companies working with the US embassy and its DOS affiliates:

• Dynacorp ( State Department & Government of Pakistan Contracts)
• Catalyst Services LLC ( Providing construction and Life Support Services to the US diplomatic mission in Pakistan).
• KSI Sallyport LLC
• GardaWorld = Has office in SRB Plaza, behind the KFC in f6 Markaz.

Companies that agencies have shut down:
Triple Canopy: Was working with DOS on ATAP program - staff refused return visas.
Pax Mondial: believe it or not, this PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTOR was able to get LEGAL staus as a registered company in Pakistan, until someone from ISI woke up and shut them down:

G4S: Merged / SOLD operations to Wackenhut / Pathfinder = Now owned and operated by Major(R) Ikram Sehgal


Other foreign security companies operating in Pakistan but are of no concern:

• Salamanca Risk - Karachi
• Hill & Associates - Karachi

^ These are low level companies and the agencies know about them, and what they do... Most of their work is corporate security.

There is a law in draft that will make it very difficult for FSC/MNC PMC to operate in Pakistan, the original doc has been deleted, managed to find a web image:

Now leaving the issue of Blackwater and its affilifate PMC/ FSC's.... Lets come touch base on the issue of NOGs, particularly iNGO: International NGOs in Pakistan:

Whilst the US Military intervention may have been exposed in the past few years, it is my belief that this is a program that may have existed under our very noses for at least 20/30 years, perhaps even more. Let me tell you about about the work of a consortium unknown to people outside certain circles. BINGOsmc: Balochistan International NGO Security Management Consortium? For those who don't know what it's function was:

In early 2004, a group of 10 international agencies 25 based in Quetta, Balochistan formed a
consortium to act as a security network and meet periodically to exchange security
information and analysis.

An NGO security adviser was already established to support NGOs, based in Islamabad. However, INGOs raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of this initiative particularly as, at that time, most security incidents and concerns were focused in Balochistan Province.

While the establishment of Balochistan INGO Consortium (BINGO) initially improved the level of security information available, it became evident to BINGO members that additional security support was needed due to the marked differences in security capacity and experience amongst INGOs operating out of Quetta.

In May 2004, the BINGO Security Management Support pilot project was established. This was funded by DG ECHO, with Concern as the host agency and focal point for the donor, and Mercy Corps providing additional support in terms of administration and accommodation.

The BINGO Consortium convened a Security Management Committee, consisting of five members of the consortium,26 to oversee the Security Management Support project and supervise and monitor the activities of the Security Management Advisory team.

The Security Management Advisory team, made up of an international Security Management Advisor and two national Security Officers, were tasked with a wide range of security support activities including:

_ information gathering, analysis and reporting on incidents that could impact
upon the security of the operating environment of the INGOs programmes in
Balochistan;

_ coordinating security advice, information and arrangements with other
relevant actors such as UNSECOORD personnel, government authorities and
international representations;

_ assessing security in different sites within the areas of operation and potential
programme areas of the INGOs in Balochistan; and

_ upgrading security management through the provision of training and
technical advice.

In August 2005 the Pakistani authorities ordered the BINGO consortium to close and
terminate all activities.

Looking at BINGO, it has access to combined staff power of Concern, Care Af/Pak, Mercy Corps etc. It's major role of Grass Roots Intelligence Gathering, Authoring Sit Reps and Impact Assessments. Considering that INGOs operate in remote corners of Pakistan and that their personnel "social mobilizers" carry considerable clout with the locals, can speak the language and blend in no problem, it is easy for them to gather intel and bring back 1st hand information for their managers (handlers).

Where was this "intel" going, no one know's to this day. Think i am a conspiracy nut, just look at the type of talent that had worked with BINGOSMC in the past:

Now look at similar offshoots in Afghanistan:
ANSO

Here is a sample ANSO Report: http://www.ngosafety.org/store/files/ANSO Q3 2012.pdf
^
The above is designed, managed and run by NGOs to gather and analyse security information in Afghanistan, it's international off shoot in INSO: International NGO Safety Organisation :: INSO HOME ( much wider objective).

Coming back to Pakistan, we fail to respect the security challenges faced by foreign intelligence assets infiltrating well meaning "humanitarian agencies", for example: almost every respectable aid agency carries hand held GPS (excellent for geo caching), iridium based telephone systems (can bypass Pakistanis cellular and fixed line networks), due to their nature of work have access to highly detailed OS 1:25000 maps and detailed zonal, tribal, political, and maps at the UC level.

They have a level of trust within the community and a large workforce in the field that speaks the language and can blend in without investing a lot of money in training, acclimatization, mobilization etc.

An example of how easy it is to embed HUMINT professionals in an NGO under the guise of aid workers/expat experts...:
