Look at they have done to Pakistan, which is supposed to be their closest ally,at least that is what US Presidents have been saying day in and day out.
Wise to take as much of advantage of US as possible.
Two can play a game.
What have our Intelligence Agencies been doing?
Hope they do not emulate ISI on Osama affair(if they were incompetent as being touted out)
At this rate,Assange is best suited to be R&AW or IB Chief
A US official record states that senior al-Qaeda agent has been planning attacks in India and using Indians for terror attacks. A Guantanamo Bay detainee is said to have admitted that he had considered using India as a platform to send operatives to the US or UK because of the large Muslim population there and the low level of scrutiny given to travellers of Indian nationality.
The ISI facilitated militants to cross the border to carry out strikes on Indian targets chosen by the Pakistan Army, several detainees at the Guantanamo Bay facility told US interrogators, according to a fresh set of American diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.
The interrogation reports quoted a detainee as saying that ISI “allowed” militants to travel to India where they conducted bombings, kidnappings and killing of Kashmiri people and the targets were picked up by the Pakistani Army.

WASHINGTON — The world’s most wanted terrorist lived his last five years imprisoned behind the barbed wire and high walls of his home in Abbottabad, Pakistan, his days consumed by dark arts and domesticity.
Videos seized from Bin Laden’s compound and released by the Obama administration on Saturday showed him wrapped in an old blanket watching himself on TV, like an aging actor imagining a comeback. A senior intelligence official said other videos showed him practicing and flubbing his lines in front of a camera. He was interested enough in his image, the official said, to dye his white beard black for the recordings
His once-large entourage of Arab bodyguards was down to one trusted Pakistani courier and the courier’s brother, who also had the job of buying goats, sheep and Coca-Cola for the household. While his physical world had shrunk to two indoor rooms and daily pacing in his courtyard, Bin Laden was still revered at home — by his three wives, by his children and by the tight, interconnected circle of loyalists in the compound.
He did not do chores or tend to the cows and water buffalo on the south side of the compound like the other men. The household, American officials figure, knew how important it was for him to devote his time to Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization he founded and was still actively running at the time of his death.
American officials say there is much they do not know about the last years of Bin Laden, who was shot dead byNavy Seal commandos last Monday in his third-floor bedroom, and the peculiar life of the compound. But what has emerged so far, in interviews with United States and Pakistani military and intelligence officials and Bin Laden’s neighbors in the middle-class hamlet where he had been hiding, is a portrait of an isolated man, perhaps a little bored, presiding over family life while plotting mayhem — still desperate to be heard, intent on outsize influence, musing in his handwritten notebooks about killing more Americans.
“My father would not look forward to staying indoors month after month, because he is a man who loves everything about nature,” Omar bin Laden, a son of Bin Laden, said in an e-mail message in 2009. “But if I were to say what he would need to survive, I would say food and water. He would go inward and occupy himself with his mind.”
Osama bin Laden was still actively involved in planning and directing al Qaida’s terror plots at the time he was killed, US officials have said.
The claims were made as a number of candid videos seized at the secret Pakistani compound where the terror mastermind was shot dead were released by the Pentagon.
“The discovery that bin Laden has been hiding under its nose near a military garrison is a blow to its reputation on almost as great a scale as defeat at the hands of the Indian army over Bangladesh in 1971. A lawyer in Abbottabad, Mohammed Iqbal, told me of his shock that a 700,000 strong army should have been unable to arrest bin Laden, and “foreigners should come here and take him away”.
The impotence of the Pakistan army was rubbed in again last night, when the United States led another drone attack on Pakistan soil, reportedly killing 10 militants in the remote north-western province of Waziristan.
The killing of bin Laden is also a major blow for the country’s president, Asif Ali Zardari. The operation was kept secret from Zardari because he was not trusted by his US allies. Meanwhile there are charges that the house was connected to the Pakistan intelligence service, the ISI – an institution now privately regarded by the US as akin to a terrorist organisation.”…
“Further confusion now concerns the level of Pakistani involvement in the operation that killed bin Laden. According to the United States, the Pakistan government only found out about the raid after it had finished. Many security experts say this account defies credibility. President Zardari may not have known, they say, but someone in the upper echleons of power must have”.
”
“Even if the helicopters had evaded Pakistan’s expensive early warning radar systems – itself highly unlikely – they say that there is no way they could have remained unnoticed for 45 minutes in one of Pakistan’s premier garrison towns.”..
“”Furthermore, even trying to avoid detection would be highly dangerous in case Pakistani fighter planes shot down the US helicopters…”
Did the Pakistan authorities know what was going on?
“It was suggested to me that trusted individuals within the Pakistani defence and security establishment – and certainly the Pakistan chief of staff, General Kayani – were informed through discrete channels, most probably when General David Petraeus paid a surprise visit to Islamabad last week.”…
Consider this as well.
Zardari or his PM are yet to make a Statement on what happened in Abbotabad.
Questions:
Was the attack on Abbottabad carried out by Pakistan forces, working for the CIA?
OR The attack on Abbottabad was carried out by Pakistan forces, against the wishes of the CIA.?
The Attack was carried out by Both the Governments.
Is it the reason why Pasha,ISI Chief had been hauled over to US?
