The whistle-blowing site Wilileaks has released a cache of 250,000 secret messages sent by US diplomatic staff. Here are some of the key issues the documents reveal related to Pakistan, as reported by the New York Times and Guardian newspapers.

According to ANI, WikiLeaks has reportedly released about 94 documents about Pakistan. The documents mainly contain telegrams sent by the US Embassy in Islamabad to the State Department in Washington. Some of these papers relate to US observations about Pakistan’s policy towards Afghanistan, the debate within Pakistan on the war against terror, Islamabad’s cooperation with Washington, US reservations about Pakistan’s nuclear programme and other military and intelligence matters. Sources said that an anti-war activist gained access to over 400,000 secret documents following changes in the US communication system, and handed them over to WikiLeaks.

In July this year, WikiLeaks had published the Afghan war logs, disclosing that the US was operating a secret assassination squad in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and that a Pakistani intelligence agency was helping the Taliban, besides throwing light on the alleged crimes committed by the coalition troops in Afghanistan.

PAKISTAN: ISRAEL WORRIED ABOUT MUSHARRAF
—————————————–
16. (S) On Pakistan, Dagan said that President Musharraf is losing control, and that some of his coalition partners could threaten him in the future. The key question, Dagan said, is whether Musharraf retains his commander-in-chief role in addition to his role as president. If not, he will have problems. Dagan observed that there has been an increase in the number of attempts on Musharraf’s life, and wondered whether he will survive the next few years. Under Secretary Burns replied that South Asia has assumed vital importance in American foreign policy since September 11. The U.S. is committed to denying Afghanistan as a safe-haven for Taliban and Al-Qaeda activity. The USG will continue to support Pakistani President Musharraf, and is seeking to boost his military defensive capabilities. At the same time, the U.S. is encouraging Pakistan and Afghanistan to work with each other militarily. Turning to India, Under Secretary Burns noted that U.S.-Indian economic cooperation is growing, and that the USG is working effectively to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan.

Osama bin Laden: creation of a folk hero in Pakistan OBL has been a bugbear for American officials in Pakistan since long before the 9/11 attacks. In 1999 the Islamabad embassy noted that Bin Laden posters were hitting the streets for just 30 cents – “a bit more than the cost of a sidewalk haircut”.

The posters, officials wrote despairingly, were proving more popular than the US government’s “wanted” posters, which risked proving counter-productive. New wanted posters and matchboxes “may increase [Bin Laden]’s stature as a kind of folk hero”, they said.

Even the Taliban, “in sharp contrast with their ordinary execrable public relations performance”, was doing better than the US, the message continued. “We face a formidable foe among those churning out pro-Osama propaganda.”

The message urged Washington to consider a new raft of anti-Bin Laden propaganda through the Voice of America radio station, interviews with Bin Laden victims, “commissioned articles” in the local press and an anti-Bin Laden website.

“Although that would appear to be counterintuitive – that the masses don’t use the internet – almost all Islamic and Islamist groups do indeed have internet access and use it extensively.” (Source)

Pakistan Nuclear stand-off

The cables show US concern over radioactive material in nuclear power stations in Pakistan, with fears it could be used in terror attacks. They reveal the US has been attempting to remove highly enriched uranium from a research reactor in Pakistan since 2007.

In a May 2009 cable, US ambassador Anne W Patterson says Pakistan had refused a visit from US experts. She quotes a Pakistani officials as saying removing the fuel would be seen in Pakistan “as the United States taking Pakistan’s nuclear weapons”.

Saudi King on Pakistan, Iraq and Iran

The cables released by Wikileaks, the whistle-blower, disclose that aging monarch of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, as speaking scathingly about the leaders of Iraq and Pakistan. Speaking to another Iraqi official about Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, King Abdullah said, “You and Iraq are in my heart, but that man is not.” The king called President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan the greatest obstacle to that country’s progress. “When the head is rotten,” he said, “it affects the whole body.”

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear programme, according to leaked US diplomatic cables that describe how other Arab allies have secretly agitated for military action against Tehran. The revelations, in secret memos from US embassies across the Middle East, expose behind-the-scenes pressures in the scramble to contain the Islamic Republic, which the US, Arab states and Israel suspect is close to acquiring nuclear weapons. Bombing Iranian nuclear facilities has hitherto been viewed as a desperate last resort that could ignite a far wider war. The Saudi king was recorded as having “frequently exhorted the US to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons programme”, one cable stated. “He told you [Americans] to cut off the head of the snake,” the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel al-Jubeir said, according to a report on Abdullah’s meeting with the US general David Petraeus in April 2008.

Report by daily Telegraph, UK (based on the July 2010 release of the Wikileaks)

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency retains links with militants to gain influence in the region. They are thought to have collaborated with terrorist leaders to order suicide bombings over the last six years. Vehicles were allegedly filled with explosives in Pakistan before being driven across the border into Afghanistan, sometimes with ISI collusion.

Wikileaks: Pakistan accused of helping Taliban in Afghanistan attacks
Pakistan has armed, trained and coordinated Taliban and al-Qaeda attacks in Afghanistan, according to the military reports.

The documents detail a 2006 meeting with senior Taliban leaders in which Pakistani officials pushed for an attack on Maruf, a district of Kandahar that lies beside the Pakistan border. An offensive began later that year.

The files also link active and retired ISI officers to some of the conflict’s most notorious leaders. According to the reports, in 2007, they sent also 1,000 motorbikes for use in suicide attacks.
The reports name former ISI chief General Hamid Gul as a go-between and claim he regularly met al-Qaeda and Taliban commanders to order suicide attacks.

In one classified “threat report”, Gul is described ordering magnetic mines to be planted in snow on roads used by military vehicles.
“Gul’s final comment to the three individuals was ‘make the snow warm in Kabul’ basically telling them to set Kabul aflame,” the report said.
Another accuses him of meeting Arab “elders” in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt to plan a series of suicide bombings.
