Pearl was later beheaded by Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the top al Qaeda fund-raiser. He was released together with Jaish-e-Muhammad leader Masood Azhar in 1999 after the hijacking of an Indian plane.Īfter his release, Umar Sheikh kidnapped journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi with the help of Jaish activists. He was caught in India trying to exchange British tourists that he had kidnapped in New Delhi for Harkatul Ansar terrorists held by India. Umar Sheikh, a British national now under death sentence for the murder of Daniel Pearl, had his beginning in England with the Hizbut Tahir.
Moreover, it accused Jinnah of being an enemy of God and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) because Jinnah supported women, Christians and Hindus, and advocated democracy” (p113). “In Britain, Sheikh Umar Bakri’s Khilafah, the journal of the Hizbut Tahrir, attacked Jinnah as a kafir and an insult for a Muslim. Ahmed, who was also Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK for some time, wrote: One evidence of Bakri’s involvement with the Hizb became public in Akbar S Ahmed’s book Islam under Siege: Living Dangerously in Post-Honour World (Polity Press 2003). Syrian-born Umar Bakri, leader of the Hizb, was deported from the UK after 9/11. More recently, on October 22, 2009, it was banned in Bangladesh for ‘trying to destabilise the country’. The Hizb was banned in Pakistan in 2004, following a plot to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf by Hizb members. Colonel Shahid Bashir was arrested along with a retired PAF fighter pilot, Squadron Leader-turned lawyer Nadeem Ahmad Shah, and a US-educated mechanical engineer and a green card holder, Awais Ali Khan. Before that, Colonel Shahid Bashir, the then (serving) commanding officer of the Shamsi Air Force Base, was apprehended by the military police on for links with this banned outfit. In June this year, one Brigadier Ali Khan was arrested for his ties with the Hizbut Tahrir. The Hizbut Tahrir was established in Jerusalem in 1948 by Sheikh Taqiuddin al-Nabhani (d 1977), who had been educated at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. He thought the Hizbut Tahrir was a harmless manifestation of the Tahrir Square. When asked if the officers were linked to the Hizbut Tahrir, he started talking about the Tahrir Square movement of Egypt. He said the held officers had no ideological objection to the Pakistan Army. He referred to the recently sentenced army officers who tried to overthrow the military leadership on behalf of the Hizbut Tahrir. Mr Akbar also said that the Pakistan Army ran the risk of alienating its own officers if it chose to confront the Taliban.
He stated that no one in Pakistan ever threatened America, forgetting that 9/11 was planned in Pakistan and a Pakistani leader of the Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, had got himself photographed with a Pakistani terrorist - son of a senior air force officer - before the young man tried to blow up the Times Square in New York. He asserted that it will never be Pakistan’s war because, if it were, it will lead to self-destructive radicalisation. He said they were killing Pakistanis with weapons provided by America, either through Afghanistan or through Pakistan courtesy the Nato supply route. He refused to believe that it was the Taliban killing innocent Pakistanis: these were foreign agents working for foreign powers.
#PAKISTAN REAL WAR TV#
During a pre-Eid (August 19, 2012) transmission, Sach TV had my favourite intellectual Mr Ghulam Akbar telling a rather timid anchor why the war against terrorism was not Pakistan’s war.
