Saviours of the day recount tales of horror By Abdul Manan May 29, 2010

In a feat of unprecedented bravery, two young Ahmedi men overwhelmed and helped capture two armed terrorists from Baitul Noor in Model Town.

Nabeel, just 25-years-old, told The Express Tribune that he entered the building at 1:30 pm before the Friday sermon had started. He recalled that the number of worshipers started to swell around 1:45 pm just before the first few gunshots were heard.

“Immediately after I heard gunfire, I saw the back of the head of one of the terrorists who was attempting to shoot Anwer, the security guard. I understood that he would try to enter the facility next and rushed to close the gate at the entrance. To buy us some time, I asked everyone inside the building to rush towards the basement. Most of the people who were killed were older men because they were not too quick on their feet,” said Nabeel.

“One terrorist who appeared to be in his mid-twenties entered the main hall and started firing indiscriminately at doors, windows and worshippers.

Then he hurled hand grenades and the resulting explosion injured almost everyone who had not made it to the basement.

We had a clear view of the injured people in the hall from where we were hiding. Immediately after the grenade explosion, the terrorist started shooting the injured people who were crying and screaming for help,” he added.

“I could see that the terrorist was injured and bleeding from the head.

He shot at least a dozen people before he fell to the ground. I used the opportunity to seize the man, still wearing his suicide vest. Two other men helped me remove his jacket and disarm him. I held him in that position for nearly 35 minutes waiting for police officials so I could hand him over to them,” said Nabeel.

“I had placed a foot just over the man’s neck to make sure he could not move. He kept telling me that he was in a lot of pain and wanted me to remove my foot.

I removed some pressure and asked him why he had killed so many innocent people. He replied that it was his mission to eradicate all infidels from Pakistan. I could not converse with him further after hearing him say that,” stated Nabeel.

Bilal, who is 21-years-old helped capture another terrorist. He was standing on the second floor of the building and had a clear view of the front entrance when he saw armed men walk into the facility.

“The terrorist looked like he was only seventeen. He threw the hand grenade that killed our patron Lt General (retd) Chaudhary Naasir Ahmad. Then he barged through the front door and made his way up the stairs to the second floor. I was hiding behind a couch. The young man was constantly firing. I had a clear view of everything that was happening. Luckily the terrorist did not see me,” said Bilal.

“I knew I had a brief window of opportunity to act. When the terrorist had his back to the place where I was hiding behind, I pounced and grabbed him and yelled to other people to help me overpower him.

The young man was talking in Seraiki, constantly pleading with us to give him a glass of water. I removed the suicide jacket from his torso with the help of a few people,” added Bilal.

“I understand a little Seraiki. I could tell that the boy was constantly abusing and cursing us for capturing him. I had to wait for half an hour before police officials arrived and arrested the young terrorist,” he said.

Associated Press report on PML-N’s political alliance with Sipah-e-Sahaba (May 2010):

This is what a central leader of Sipha-e-Sahaba said:

Quote:
In an interview with the AP, the director-general (salar-e-aala) of Sipah-e-Sahaba, Hamid Hussain Dehlo, denied working with other militant organizations, insisting his group’s only agenda “is to fight against Shiite Muslims who are the worst kafirs in the whole universe,” referring to Shiites by the Arab word for “nonbeliever.”

The Associated Press: Local Pakistan politicians shelter militants

It’s an extremist segment of deobandis who are killing everyone from Brelvis, Shias, Ahmadis, Christians under various organisational banners. They are kharijis who are abusing Islam in the name of Islam.

Local Pakistan politicians shelter militants
By KATHY GANNON (AP) – May 6, 2010
JHANG, Pakistan — It’s a troubling trend in Pakistan’s biggest and richest province of Punjab: Leaders there are tolerating and in some cases promoting some of the country’s most violent Islamist militant groups.
Provincial officials have ignored repeated calls to crack down on militant groups with a strong presence here, with one senior minister campaigning publicly with members of an extremist group that calls for Shiite Muslims to be killed.
Some of the militant groups are allied with the northwest-based Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for a failed car bombing in New York City last week. A group based in Punjab, Jaish-e-Mohammed, also has been implicated as having possible links to one of the people detained in Pakistan in connection with the bombing attempt.
The head of the Punjab government, Shahbaz Sharif, even asked militants not to attack his province — because he was not following the dictates of the United States to fight them — much to the dismay of the central Pakistani government.
“It makes the Punjab a de facto sanctuary for the militants and extremists that the Pakistan army is fighting in the frontier and in the tribal areas,” said Aida Hussain, a former ambassador to the United States and prominent Shiite leader. “In fact this is an undermining of the armed forces of Pakistan and it is an undermining of constitutional governance.”
Critics believe the policy of tolerance is a shortsighted bid by Sharif and his brother, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, for political support in the predominantly Sunni province, which accounts for nearly 60 percent of Pakistan’s 175 million people and much of the country’s wealth.
Punjabi militants have won over fellow followers of the Deobandi sect of Islam with their radical religious interpretations and outspoken assaults on minority Shiites. This translates into votes that leaders of radical groups can bring to local politicians on both the right and the left.
“It’s all about political expediency rather than outright support for these groups,” said Moeed Yusuf of the United States Institute of Peace. He said the policy was risky because it sends the wrong signal to Pakistanis who have rallied behind the military in its assault on extremists in the Afghan border areas.
Signs of a militant Islamist presence are everywhere in this region.
In the blisteringly hot central Punjab town of Jhang, the outlawed Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, or Guardians of the Friends of the Prophet, has been emboldened by conciliatory signals from local authorities. After being courted for votes last March, the group ripped off yellow government seals and reopened its offices.
Their distinctive green, black and white striped flags fly defiantly atop homes and mosques. The maze of narrow streets in Jhang is littered with graffiti in support of the SSP, even though then-President Pervez Musharraf banned the organization in 2002.
The group’s supporters rant against Shiites, whom they revile as heretics, demand the release of some of the country’s most wanted terrorists and give sermons urging the faithful to attack their enemies.
Just a few miles (kilometers) from the Punjab provincial capital of Lahore is the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is banned in Pakistan, India, the United States and other countries but is now under provincial government protection. India blames Lashkar-e-Taiba for the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai and routinely harangues Pakistan for allowing its leader, Hafiz Saeed, to remain free. Pakistani authorities point to its courts, which have repeatedly said there is not enough evidence to hold him.
And in the southern Punjab city of Bawahalpur is the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed, the group possibly linked to a suspect in the Times Square bombing case. The group’s leader, Masood Azhar, was among three militants freed by India in 1999 in exchange for the release of passengers aboard a hijacked Indian Airlines plane to Kandahar, Afghanistan.
“Until the (Pakistani) leadership understands the real nature of these groups, and embraces the fact that none of them can possibly remain biddable tools over the long term, Pakistan leaves itself open to being repeatedly stung,” said Arthur Keller, an ex-CIA case officer in Pakistan.
Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan, who is in charge of enforcing the law in Punjab province, defended his decision to campaign alongside members of the Sipah-e-Sahaba group in March. The minister said the organization represents thousands of votes and cannot be ignored.
“I think all these fears and speculation are confused in the mind of the people…mostly outsiders,” he said.
He said groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba were not taking part in the war against the Taliban in the northwest, but only resisting Indian control of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir. And he said the Punjab government was hoping to moderate such groups.
“If they change their direction, become more progressive, that is good,” he said.
Critics believe the Punjabi government is pursuing a dangerous course because militant Islamist groups are increasingly entwined.
“You promote one organization and indirectly you promote all of them,” Sheikh Waqqas Akram, a parliamentarian from Jhang, told The Associated Press.
“The dynamics have changed in Pakistan. These organizations are interlinked, organized. They have the vehicles and the weapons to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan and Afghanistan,” Akram said. “If they are not the suicide bombers, they are the ones providing the (explosives) jackets. If they are not providing the jackets, then they are providing the houses. And if they are not providing the houses, then they are providing the food.”
In an interview with the AP, the director-general of Sipah-e-Sahaba, Hamid Hussain Dehlo, denied working with other militant organizations, insisting his group’s only agenda “is to fight against Shiite Muslims who are the worst kafirs in the whole universe,” referring to Shiites by the Arab word for “nonbeliever.”
Despite Dehlo’s claim, there is evidence of links to other militant groups. A spinoff group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was believed to be involved in the 2002 kidnap-murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, and in the March 17, 2002 attack on the International Protestant Church in Islamabad during which five people, including an American mother and her daughter, were killed.
U.S. and Pakistani intelligence officials believe Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has ties to the Pakistan Taliban, as well as al-Qaida.

Nawaz Sharif maintains ambiguity on his party’s policies towards the al Qaeda and the Taliban. Several senior members express sympathy for Islamic militancy and often criticize the government’s counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency policies. Though the party’s top leadership avoids direct criticism of the Pakistan military, they often accuse the government’s policy regarding terrorism. However mere criticism does not work and PML_N have no plan to deal with religious extremism and militancy. The Punjab government refuses to acknowledge the existence of Islamic militant elements in Punjab. The two terrorist incidents in Lahore on May 28 clearly show that the Punjab government needs to review its disposition towards militancy.

Jang already begun spreading hate again;

Excellent piece of evidence. You’re one brave Pakistani to post this publicly.

Thanks Mehreen 🙂

I think Zulfiqar Khosa was chairing the conference, federal religious minister Hamid Kazmi also attended.

Islam is religion of peace and attack on Ahmedis is no doubt condemnable. Apart from this attack, militants are targeting innocent citizens in almost all the parts of the country. The perpetrators of all such attacks are openly claiming responsibility, but the religious parties, instead of calling a spade a spade, are beating about the bush with the rhetoric of US policies. A very common belief is developing among the masses that the religious parties, just like the mainstream PML-N, are cashing in on the situation by removing themselves from the war against terror and conveying to the militants that they were in their favour. It was in the not-so-distant past that the Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, requested the Taliban not to carry out attacks in his province, as his government was not supporting the US polices and Pakistan’s security forces against the Taliban. Moreover, not a single word of condemnation has so far been heard from any PML-N leader over the killing of innocent civilians or the destruction of schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or the adjacent tribal areas, as if those are not part of Pakistan. It is time to mull over seriously that can we hand over this country to the supporters of Taliban?. Can we betray from the blood of martyrs?. Can we betray from the grieved families who lost their dear ones in this war?. Never, we can not hand over this country to those, who are true wolf in Sheep’s clothing. .

GOOD STATEMENT ON BANNAR! I agreed…..
