UK ‘Donates’ $825,000 to Osama’s Right-Hand Man in Europe

Will Abu Qatada remain in the UK?

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada who used to be considered Osama bin Laden’s ‘right hand’ in Europe has received 515,000 pounds ($825,000) financial aid from the British Ministry of Finance for legal expenses in the trial for the right to remain in the UK.

Jordan demands his extradition because he has been sentenced to life imprisonment there for organizing several terrorist acts.

51-year-old Abu Qatada arrived in the UK in 1993 with a fake passport. After his arrest without any charges in 2002, Qatada spent about 7 years in a British prison.

 

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ wins best film award a second time

“Zero Dark Thirty,” filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow‘s action thriller about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, was named best film of 2012 on Wednesday by the National Board of Review – the second accolade for the movie in one week.

Bigelow was named best director and Jessica Chastain, who plays the starring role of a young CIA officer pursuing bin Laden, was named best actress by the NBR.

Bradley Cooper took home best actor honors for his portrayal of a bipolar, former teacher in the film “Silver Linings Playbook.”

” ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ is a masterful film,” NBR President Annie Schulhof said in a statement. “Kathryn Bigelow takes the viewer inside a definitive moment of our time in a visceral and unique way. It is exciting, provocative and deeply emotional.”

Wednesday’s awards for the Hollywood treatment of the decade-long operation to hunt and kill bin Laden, based on first hand accounts, bo osts the prospects for the movie to win an Oscar in February. T he film, not yet publicly released, also took the top award from the New York Film Critics Circle on Monday.

Leonardo DiCaprio won best supporting actor from the NBR for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s new slavery era drama, “Django Unchained,” while Ann Dowd took the best supporting actress honors for her role in “Compliance,” as a fast-food restaurant manager duped by a prank caller scam.

The NBR, a 100 year-old U.S.-based group of movie industry watchers and film professionals, gave its original screenplay award to Rian Johnson for “Looper,” and adapted screenplay to David O. Russell for “Silver linings Playbook.”

“HOBBIT,” “LIFE OF PI” OVERLOOKED

“Les Miserables,” the first big movie adaptation of the popular stage musical featuring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway was named best ensemble, and the group gave its best animated feature prize to “Wreck-It-Ralph.”

Each year the board also issues a list of top 10 movies, which this year besides Bigelow’s film included Ben Affleck’s Iran hostage thriller “Argo,” “Django Unchained,” “Les Miserables,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” and “Looper.”

“Lincoln,” Steven Spielberg’s biopic of President Abraham Lincoln, the mystical indie film “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” Gus van Sant‘s fracking drama “Promised Land,” and coming of age film “The Perks of Being A Wallflower,” rounded out the list.

Absent from the list were some films that had been touted for honors ahead of awards season, including Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit,” Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom,” indie film “The Sessions” starring Helen Hunt, and Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi.”

In other categories, NBR gave its best documentary award to “Searching for Sugarman,” and chose Austrian director Michael Haneke’s “Amour,” as best foreign language film.

Child-actress Quvenzhane Wallis from “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” and “The Impossible” actor Tom Holland each won awards for breakthrough performances.

Benh Zeitlin received the award for best debut director for “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” while documentary “Central Park Five” and drama “Promised Land” were both honored with the Freedom of Expression award.

The National Board of Review was formed in New York in 1909 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting movies as an art form and entertainment.

China Seeks Military Bases in Pak’s Restive Tribal Region

China has expressed an interest in setting up military bases in Pakistan’s volatile tribal area or the Northern Areas, close to the restive Chinese province of Xinjiang, to counter the activities of extremists, according to a media report.

The Chinese desire is aimed at containing the growing terrorist activities of Chinese rebels of the al-Qaeda-linked East Turkestan Islamic Movement, The News daily quoted diplomatic sources as saying.

The Chinese rebels want an independent Islamic state and are reportedly being trained in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

China’s wish to have a military presence in Pakistan was discussed at length by the political and military leadership of both countries in recent months as Beijing has become more concerned about the Pakistan’s tribal belt serving as a haven for radicals, the report said.

“Beijing believes that similar to the American military presence in Pakistan, a Chinese presence would enable its military to effectively counter the Muslim separatists who had been operating from the tribal areas of Pakistan for almost a decade and carrying out cross-border terrorist activities in the trouble-stricken Xinjiang Province,” the report said.

There were three high-profile visits from Pakistan to China in recent months – by Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, President Asif Ali Zardari and Inter-Services Intelligence agency chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha.

The Pakistani visits were reciprocated by a visit to Islamabad by Chinese Vice Premier Meng Jianzhu.

This visit was prompted by two bomb blasts in Kashgar city of Xinjiang on July 30 and 31 that killed 18 people, the report said.

The blasts provoked senior government officials in Xinjiang to claim for the first time in recent years that the attackers were trained in ETIM camps being run by Chinese Muslim separatists in Pakistan’s Waziristan tribal region.

The report contended that Beijing believes the Chinese rebels operating from the Pakistani tribal areas are well connected to Al Qaeda, which trains them and provides funding.

“Therefore, Pakistan and China, which have been cooperating for a long time in the field of counter-terrorism, have intensified their efforts to nip the evil of terrorism in the bud, especially after the Kashgar blasts,” it said.

In the aftermath of the May 2 raid by US troops that killed Osama bin Laden in his hideout in the Pakistani garrison city of Abbottabad that Islamabad started playing its “China card aggressively, perhaps to caution Washington against pushing it too hard”, the report said.

Shortly after the raid, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani travelled to Beijing too seek support for Pakistan.

Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, who accompanied Gilani, said on May 21 that whatever requests for assistance the Pakistani side made, the Chinese government was more than happy to oblige, including agreeing to take over operation of the strategically located but underused port of Gwadar upon expiry of a contract with a Singaporean government company.

Mukhtar had further said that Pakistan had asked China to begin building a naval base at Gwadar, where Beijing funded and built the port.

“We would be grateful to the Chinese government if a naval base is constructed at the site of Gwadar for Pakistan,” he said in a statement.

The Muslim Leaders That U.S. Killed

Muammar Gaddafi‘s death is celebrated as the success of a new U.S. foreign policy, on which the Obama administration backed the NATO action, demanded Gaddafi to go and finally he is gone forever. It was a policy of lead from behind, a policy makeover which is sometimes seen as an uncomfortable mix of realism and idealism.

It was in 2008 Gaddafi made a prophetic warning about the possible invasion or indirect involvement of America in the politics of the Middle East. At a speech in the Arab League summit in Damascus, he said, “A foreign power occupies an Arab country and hangs its leader while we all stand watching and laughing. Your turn is coming soon,” a warning the audience including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who doesn’t dare to laugh now as his turn is foreseen in the ongoing popular uprising.

Except his short stay with the Americans during President George W Bush‘s war on terror, most in U.S. see him as a villain whom they often associate with the Lockerbie bombing. Realizing the need to take a backseat to prove that the country is not imposing its will using physical force over the Arab, the United States would be more than happy that Muammar Gaddafi has gone, but they would be more delighted by the fact that the world would celebrate this as a victory for the Libyan people.

As a matter of fact, the American policy must have taken a revamp at the realization of the fact that the country cannot afford to do everything, everywhere, and that the policy should shrink to do only what matters most. Going by the same line, Obama had stated that no American troops would be there on the ground and the French and British did the major job. The European powers were leading the movement as it meant a lot for them, the U.S. decided stay at the shadow for Libya was not a vital national interest the world police.

If it was bullets for Gaddafi, it was the gallows the U.S. prepared for the ironman of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. It took a little more than a few months for the invading American forces to topple Saddam’s kingdom, which the Unites States had always viewed a threat to the stability of the region. The war that was started on as a hunt for weapons of mass destruction ended with the fall of Saddam’s regime and his capture a few months later. After three years of trials for war crimes, he was hanged against his wish to be shot on 30 December 2006. Both his sons, Uday and Qusay were killed in a six-hour firefight. However, U.S. had to spell trillions of dollars and have to sacrifice the lives its thousands of soldiers. The Economist described Saddam as “one of the last of the 20th century’s great dictators, but not the least in terms of egotism, or cruelty, or morbid will to power.”

A fleet of four choppers slicing through the dark skies over Islamabad from a U.S. military base in Afghanistan finished the job code named ‘Geronimo-E KIA’ in which the United States killed its most wanted man, Osama bin Laden just 40 miles outside Pakistan’s capital. Upon the end of this long and painful chapter, U.S. President Barack Obama saluted the U.S. commandos and said, “Job well done. The mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks which left nearly 3,000 people dead, Osama has been in FBI’s lists of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives and Most Wanted Terrorists and was a major target of the United States in its War on Terror with $25 million bounty by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As the president once called, ‘al-Qaeda’s leader and symbol, was often termed as un-Islamic by many Islamic scholars; however, Michael Scheuer, in his famous book ‘Osama bin Laden,’ notes that Laden’s 1998 fatwa was signed by fully credentialed Islamic scholars, thus giving it religious authority’. Laden in his fatwa called on the world Muslims to kill Americans and their allies both civilian and military and proclaimed that it’s an individual duty for every Muslim.

Is U.S. Planning a Revenge Attack on Pakistan?

The U.S. 10 year alliance with Pakistan is a question of trust now.

The relation between U.S., Pakistan is facing an uncertain future and many in Washington are questioning is Islamabad a reliable ally?

Will U.S. ever trust Pakistan for its war against terrorism and al-Qaeda?

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday called back foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar from the U.S. amid strained ties with Washington following an accusation that Pakistan was supporting the Haqqani terror network.

The gradually warming Pakistan-U.S. ties have suddenly turned sour in the aftermath of the September 13 brazen terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, which senior American military and government officials have squarely blamed on the North Waziristan-based Haqqani militant network, led by Sirajuddin Haqqani.

U.S. military commanders have accused Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, of supporting the Haqqani network for carrying out two attacks on the U.S. embassy in Kabul and U.S. military base in Afghanistan’s Wadak province this month.

This has prompted U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to warn that the U.S. could do everything it could to defend American forces from the Pakistan-based Haqqani militants staging attacks in Afghanistan, including operations inside Pakistan.

Panetta’s warning was followed by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s decision to cancel his planned trip to the United States that was scheduled for September 16.
The killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces on Pakistani soil, paved way to the tensions between the two nations. It is a relationship that for years has been marred by mistrust.

America has been the blessing in disguise for Pakistan with their innumerable aid for Pakistan. The alliance between the two countries began in 2001, a joint effort to fight against terrorism namely al-Qaeda and Taliban until recently, Pakistan offered support for U.S. drone strikes in tribal areas targeting al- Qaeda and Taliban leaders which became massively unpopular among the Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, leader of the opposition in National Assembly, said that the present war on terror Pakistan was a result of U.S. using Pakistan in the most abominable manner and weakened it to the extent that almost all institutions are facing crises.

He further says Pakistan’s pro-U.S. policies have destroyed the economy, the living, and peace. “It will not be far from truth to say that America has incapacitated us by injecting the sweet poison of aid.”

There has been disquiet about Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan for several years now. After the attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul in 2008, Washington had pointed to ISI complicity in the incident. But American unhappiness with Pakistan has never been so directly expressed as now.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar went a step further and warned the US that if such allegations continue, it “will lose an ally”. And Interior Minister Rehman Malik specifically warned the US against taking any unilateral action against the Haqqanis in Pakistani territory. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani remarked last week, the U.S. needed Pakistan in Afghanistan, observing that the Americans “can’t live with us. They can’t live without us.”

Top 10 Facts About Taliban

Russia invaded Afghanistan to have access to the hot waters but they were defeated due to the different war lords of Afghanistan and then 2 years later Americans also started providing financial and military aid to the military groups through Pakistan on the oust of USSR, but peace couldn’t be established in Afghanistan because of different factions interested to have control on Afghanistan and this resulted in a war between the fighting groups. In 1991 on the backing of America, Taliban who were basically the students of “MADRISSAS” were raised in the southern part of Afghanistan, while establishing their headquarters in Kandahar. They established peace in the areas under their control and started establishing control of Afghanistan while moving towards northwards. And around 90% of the area of Afghanistan they established their government. And Taliban declared their government as Islamic state and was recognized by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia under the leadership of Mullah Omar.
In the meanwhile USA started negotiating with Taliban to have the access to the hot waters through Afghanistan from Central Asian states but Taliban’s as declaring themselves as true Islamic government didn’t cooperate with USA and therefore USA and other European countries didn’t recognize Taliban Government until favorable negotiations with Taliban. Once USA didn’t succeed in having a favorable situation they created the drama of 9/11, about which the reasonable sources have given the opinion to be a total drama. America declared a war against terrorism with the help of NATO countries and like the Gulf War, USA did try to persuade Arab countries to the part of war against terrorism but they had learn their lesson already and stayed away from USA and the USA and NATO countries had to fight this war on their own expense.
So, I have here this post about the Top 10 facts about Taliban to share with you people. I hope you’ll be amused too like I was when I studied about it

10. Did you know that when Taliban tried to set out the World’s most pure Islamic region in Afghanistan then they were called as the extremist and the revolutionary type Muslims of the world, who kept beard of specific length?

9. Taliban were called they have this anti-women agenda which forbade the women to work outside of home and wear the burka, they were not supposed to leave home without a male guardian. Well that is considered to be anti-women but in real that is what Islam is all about the safety of women.

8. During the war America raided Afghanistan with Cruise missiles and later on they carried out the carpet bombing dropping the daisy cutters on Torah Bora against Al-Qaida (Al-Qaida and Taliban were two different groups but still cooperated with each other against the NATO and US forces).

7. Taliban and Al-Qaida after being expelled from Afghanistan established their base on the Pak-Afghan border in North and South Waziristan.

6. During the last ten years America has been bringing hundreds and thousands of soldiers, fighting equipments and drones and planes to get to the hot waters but Taliban through the Guerilla warfare didn’t let the Americans settle down peacefully.

5. The Taliban used to receive logistical and humanitarian support from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan’s ISI i.e. $2 million each year from Saudi Arabia’s charity.

4. Taliban used to supply the 72% of the world’s illicit opium.

3. Osama Bin Laden was the one who forged an alliance between Taliban and Al-Qaida in 1996.

2. As Taliban did make an Islamic government in Afghanistan but they failed to take any significant and important steps to revive the country’s economy.

1. Did you know that what was the basic cause of the isolation of Taliban from the rest of the world?  Lack of the experience in the foreign policy was the major factor of their international isolation.

10 Possible Changes In The World After The Death Of Osama Bin Laden

Is it really a full stop to 10 year of unremitting manhunt of Osama bin Laden? What is the possible reaction of different elements of the world on this? Will the world be able to live in peace now? Does the death of Al-Qaeda leader mark an end to all the fiasco which is occurring in the world currently?. These are the possible questions which I am sure will be roaming about in every one’s mind now. Osama was killed as a repercussion of a successful joint-operation of Pakistan and USA in Abbottabad. It was no doubt a result of effective and pragmatic intelligence information that enabled this long sought target to be killed. Barrack Obama has officially confirmed the news and different leaders from world over have also commented on this. They term this a success of the Allied forces and praised their remarkable performance.
Guys, this event just came out of blue for everyone and God knows what awaits for this world at the far end corner of the tunnel. But I would like to tell you some possible implications of this scenario.

10. CHANGE OF PLANS

Tehrik-e-Taliban spokesman said that their primary target has changed now from USA to Pakistan. To be precise, they said that the Pakistan army, President Asif Ali Zardari and other key personnel are their main target now. Was this the outcome Pakistan was looking for?

9. WASHINGTON AND ISLAMABAD

USA has been claiming repeatedly that Osama bin Laden is somewhere in Pakistan but the Pakistani officialdom has denied this fact. Ah! It was a city of Pakistani where the Al-Qaeda leader has been killed recently. What do you have to tell now Mr.Zardari ? This will obviously affect the already vitiating Pak-US relation and will it be a positive impact or negative is yet to be seen.

8. WORLD STOCK MARKET

It has been a long time since the world stock markets have taken a nosedive and the situation is constantly declining. Many analysts attribute this plummeting situation to the overall terrorism which has covered the globe like a thick cloud. But now that the symbol of terrorism is no more in existence, stock market will show a very positive trend and will gain investor’s confidence to a much greater extent. It is time to see the green upward arrows against each stock! Do you have any?

7. THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS

This event has proved to be a double treat for the American President Obama as it is going to uphold his image in the upcoming elections in front of the public. It is a investment of Obama in the 2012 elections and has earned a great popularity for Barrack Obama. Congratulations Mr.Obama and keep up the good job!

6. DRONE STRIKES

No clear view can be established regarding this issue as it is still very debatable and ambiguous issue for both Pakistan and USA. Pakistan claims that it is against the sovereignty of the country to allow the USA drone attacks to infiltrate the Pakistan border and bombard a area without any restrictions. On the other hand, USA may now claim that it is due to these drone strikes that Bin laden has been identified and ultimately killed in an operation. The drone strikes have fuelled many anti-American sentiments in the general public of Pakistan. Let us see which direction it takes

5. A BIG QUESTION MARK FOR JIHADIS

What are they going to do now when their so revered and effective leader is no longer alive and in between them to guide them? Do they need to hold on for some time or they should continue with their activities and immediately choose a new leader for themselves? Let us leave this to be decided by they themselves.

4. IS IT JUST THE TRIBAL REGION OR SOMETHING MORE…?

Yes guys, USA has a strong argument to start operations within the country because as they found and killed the Al-Qaeda leader Bin laden in Abbottabad, a city of Pakistan, then there must be some other important figures somewhere inside the country. What is ISI going to do now? What should be the policy towards America should be now?

3. TIME TO GO HOME FINALLY!

I think it is a valid justification for the American troops to exit Afghanistan and mark this historic event as the end of the long lasted war in Afghanistan. Now Obama should be considering about the exit strategy seriously and they are now victorious warriors and not any exhaustive group of troops who have left the battlefield in the middle of nothing. The national heroes must be planning to meet their loved ones back at their country. It is party time!

2. FUTURE OF PAKISTAN

What can be possibly predicted about this? This can have either effect on the terrorist groups. It can be that their main leader has lost his life in a very abrupt situation and they have lost their morale and motivation to plan any further terrorist activities or it can be that they are blood-thirsty now and want revenge of their leader, But from WHOM? Is it USA or if I am not wrong is it Pakistan? Are the people of Pakistan safer or have been plunged into more danger?

1. Is Al-Awlaki the next Bin Laden?

It is a wakeup call for the world. This time it is Al-Awlaki who is fomenting the air of terror and intends to be the replacement of Bin laden. He has the ability to plan on various terrorist attacks and is a new emerging threat to the Allied forces. Do we have any strategy for this man? If not, then we should think fast because we may be running out of time before any big attack from their side. May be a life of some innocent is in danger…
