Filed under: Defense,USA — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 6:21 am

PNS AlmagirThe first Oliver Hazard Perry (OHP) frigate set sail for Pakistan on Monday. The frigate was acquired by Pakistan Navy from the United States. The ship is formerly known as the USS McINERNEY (FFG-8) and was commissioned in the Pakistan Navy as the PNS ALAMGIR (FFG-260) on August, 31, 2010 during a huge ceremony at the Mayport, Naval Station. The ceremony was attended by Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani. After commissioning, the PNS ALAMGIR underwent modernization and refurbishment and the BAE System Shipyard in Jacksonville Florida. 18 officers and 218 CPO/ Sailors underwent a series of training sessions to be able to operate the ship.

The Ship Transfer and Assistance Team (STAT) contributed greatly in the training. The Pakistan Crew’s stay in the US, not only contributed to the better understanding on issues of mutual concern, but also strengthened the relations between the two nations. Captain Naveed Ashraf T.Bt TI(M) was announced as the first Commanding Officer of the PNS ALAMGIR.

The ship set sail for Pakistan on Monday, after the completion of the final trials and cre workup. The ship is scheduled to stop at Bermuda (UK), Azores (Portugal), Cadiz (Spain), Golcuk (Turkey), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and Salalah (Oman) and would eventually reach Pakistan on 13 May 2011.

The PNS ALAMGIR will be a part of the 18th Frigate Squadron of the Pakistan Navy Fleet. Pakistan has become one of the important members of Global War on Terror (GWOT). Due to Pakistani government’s decision to fight terrorism, the Pakistan Navy joined the maritime coalition against terrorism which is led by the US. At the moment the Navy participates in the Coalition Maritime Campaign Plan (CMCP) which is one of the maritime components of the Global War on Terrorism. The CMCP encompasses operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The coalition forces work under the command of United States Naval Forces Central Command (US NAVCENT). The responsibility areas include the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Red Sea.

Despite the strong resource constraints, the Pakistan Navy has always been a number one participant in the CMCP. The Pakistan Navy was the first regional navy to form a part of the CMCP and has greatly contributed its assents to ensuring stability and peace in the region. The Pakistan Navy has so far contributed one frigate to Task Force 150 (TF-150) and a Type-21 frigate to Task Force 151 (TF-151).

The Pakistan Navy has commanded TF-150 f our times and is currently in charge of the TF-151 off the coast of Somalia, where they are countering piracy. Pakistan is also the first non-NATO country to command a Task Force.

The Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigates are being used by a lot of navies and their main strength is conducting Maritime Security Operations which have become the main concern of the nations. The PNS ALAMGIR is scheduled to augment Maritime Security Operations in the Arabian Sea. Another of its goals is to support the Pakistan Navy Surface Fleet.

The PNS ALAMGIR has been named after Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir who was the sixth Muslim Ruler of Great Mughal Empire and is known to be one of the most fierce and experienced warriors, who protected his territories and was the Empire’s leader for nearly 50 years. Thanks to him the influence of the Mughal Empire was spread to the entire Indian Sub-continent.

THE ENEMY WITHIN

Filed under: Defense — Tags: , , , — admin @ 7:59 am

Yousaf QureshiHow many Raymond Davis’s do you think are running around the country? Ansar Abbasi says 55. Others say there are hundreds. This guessing game in which people compete to create the biggest number seems to be the topic of countless conversations across the country. But are these fantom American agents really the threat to undermining the state?

An article in the Washington Post newspaper features the public boasting of extremist clerics announcing that they have armed followers of tens of thousands and no fear of the government.

Yousaf Qureshi made international headlines in December when he offered $6,000 to anyone who killed a Pakistani Christian woman convicted of blasphemy. This month, the cleric told worshipers packed into his 17th-century mosque here that extremists had done a “marvelous job” days before, by assassinating a cabinet minister who had defended the woman.

Those statements might count as incitement to violence under Pakistani law. But no government or law enforcement officials have confronted him, Qureshi said on a recent morning.

“I can announce that we are coming to the street with 4,000 armed students,” said Qureshi, a jolly man whose eyes are rimmed with black liner and who, as caretaker of a historic building, is on the provincial government payroll. “What can the government do?”

This is a direct attack on the patriotic law enforcement and security forces of our country. If this man announces that he has no fear of the government then what is to stop any other maniac from threatening the national security? And worst is that he is on the payroll of provincial government!

That air of untouchability is echoed by Qureshi, the Peshawar imam, who also runs a 700-student madrassa that teaches only the Koran. Studying other topics, he said, would instill materialism in students.

Qureshi said his reward offer for the killer of Asia Bibi, the Christian woman, still stands, and he boasted he could collect the money from worshipers in 15 minutes. He said he already has $1 million in a briefcase, ready for anyone who kills a Danish cartoonist who drew the prophet Muhammad.

Qureshi said his rhetoric has occasionally led local officials to briefly bar him from sermonizing. But they always buckle when his congregation starts rumbling.

“I have 10,000 followers. All are holy warriors,” he said. “They will come out to the streets without thinking, just in the name of Islam.”

Yousaf Qureshi has been spitting in the face of the government and law enforcement for months now. He has made the announcement that he is against Pakistan. Why are we distracted by the Raymond Davis who is already arrested when this is going on under our very noses?

Filed under: Taliban,terrorism — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 8:13 am

The country is at war. This week we have suffered two attacks from Taliban militants that have killed almost 100 people and injured hundreds more.

Tuesday’s bomb attack by Taliban in Faisalabad struck directly at the heart of national security when the attackers detonated car bomb near the PIA building and security services office killing 32 innocent civilians and wounding 125 others.

Faisalabad Bomb Attack

The following day Taliban militants detonated a bomb in Peshawar targeting the grieving civilians attending a funeral procession. In a display of maximum cowardice, the attackers strapped the bomb to a young boy who had been brain washed by the diabolical jihadists.

Peshawar Bombing

Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan declared the attack against Pakistan and vowed to destabilise the country and bring down the government.

THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN DECLARATION OF WAR BY TALIBAN AGAINST PAKISTAN.

Real Pakistani Nationalists in Pak military fighting back. General Officer Commanding 7-Division Major General Ghayur Mehmood gave briefing with the title, ‘MYTHS AND RUMOURS ABOUT DRONE STRIKES’ and said drone strikes targeting the terrorists who plotting against Pakistan.

The Military’s 7-Dvision’s official paper on the attacks till Monday said that between 2007 and 2011 about 164 predator strikes had been carried out and over 964 terrorists had been killed.

Of those killed, 793 were locals and 171 foreigners, including Arabs, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Chechens, Filipinos and Moroccans.

In 2007, one missile strike left one militant dead while the year 2010 was the deadliest when the attacks had left more than 423 terrorists dead.

In 2008, 23 drone strikes killed 152 militants, 12 of them were foreigners or affiliated with Al Qaeda.

In 2009, around 20 predator strikes were carried out, killing 179 militants, including 20 foreigners, and in the following year 423 militants, including 133 foreigners, were killed in 103 strikes.

In attacks till March 7 this year, 39 militants, including five foreigners, were killed.

This proofs a lie the Taliban propaganda against Pak-US military partnership spread to cause division in Pakistan and undermine the success of military operations. Real Pak Nationalists will not be such fools.

Funeral Prayers

Filed under: terrorism — Tags: — admin @ 8:57 am

Militants any sympathisers turn out for funeral prayers of SSP terrorists asking for protection and forgiveness that they will not even show themselves.

Participants of the funeral procession chanted slogans against the authorities and rival sects on the way to the graveyard.

ASWJ leader Maulana Aurangzaib Farooqi while talking to the media said that an element in the minority party, having foreign support, is behind the killing of SSP workers and leaders.

He added that a number of activists and leaders of SSP have been killed in the last couple of years, but authorities seem reluctant to take any action against the ones responsible.

Forgive me if I fail to feel much sympathy for slain activists of a banned group that murders Pakistanis in cold blood.

Allah will judge these souls with the same mercy that they showed their victims on Earth. I will leave that to Him. In the meantime, if SSP activists and other murderers want some sympathies, they should stop killing innocent Pakistanis.

MILITANTS BOMB MOSQUE DURING FRIDAY PRAYER

Filed under: Taliban,terrorism — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:21 am

As if there was any more proof necessary that the religion of jihadi militants Taliban and al-Qaeda is ANTI-ISLAM and ANTI-MUSLIM there is the PROOF in the bomb attack against peaceful Muslims saying Friday prayers.

A bomb attack on a packed mosque in militant-infested northwest Pakistan killed at least 11 people and wounded over 20 others after it ripped through Friday prayers, police and medics said.Hundreds of people were coming out of the mosque or waiting for a charity meal when the blast hit, police said, adding that the bomb had been planted inside the building near the town of Nowshera.

Witnesses described scenes of panic, the mosque’s windows and doors blown out by the strength of the explosion and blood sprayed on the building walls.

“I was distributing rice among the devotees when suddenly a huge blast occurred and I remember seeing people running and falling in panic,” Suleman Shah, 30, a jeweller, told AFP.

An AFP reporter at the site said: “There were blood marks in the mosque and cooked rice was scattered at some places. The blast had mangled the ceiling fans and all doors and windows of the mosque building were broken.”

Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants launch daily attacks across northwest Pakistan and the tribal belt that Washington has branded the most dangerous place on Earth.

More than 4,000 people have died in suicide and bomb attacks across Pakistan since government forces launched an offensive against militants in a mosque in Islamabad in 2007.

The mosque in Friday’s attack is located in a shrine named after Muslim saint Akhund Panju Baba, in Akbar Pura town, on the outskirts of Nowshera.

“The death toll is 11 now as two of the wounded men passed away,” Abdul Hameed Afridi, head of the Lady Reading hospital in Peshawar, the main city in the region, told AFP.

The death toll was earlier put at nine.

There was one child among the dead, he said, adding that 21 wounded were being treated at the hospital, four of whom were critical.
