UAE officials suspected India-Taliban link: WikiLeaks

[Paan Singh]

WASHINGTON, Sept 6: UAE security officials told US counter-terrorism officials in December 2009 that they believed India was secretly supporting Pakistani Taliban insurgents and Pakhtun separatists.

A Dec 15, 2009, US diplomatic cable, released by WikiLeaks, also shows officials of the Dubai State Security Department telling
the Americans that they believed Iran also was supporting the Taliban with money and weapons.

Iran’s support, the cable claimed, helped the Taliban smuggle drugs, and facilitated the movement of Taliban and Al Qaeda members. SSD officials stated that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps and navy were involved in these activities.

Officials from the UAE State Security Department and Dubai’s General Department of State Security conveyed such concerns to Howard Mendelsohn, an Acting Assistant Secretary of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the US Treasury
Department. The meeting in Dubai focused on suspected Taliban-related financial activity in the UAE. The US official told UAE officials they believed the Taliban were also receiving funds from the Gulf.

Given the situation in Pak, India really doesnt need to do anything at this time except ensuring an unending supply of popcorn (metaphorical lest some one jumps down my throat accusing me of enjoying deaths of Pakistani civilians)

If these guys did take over, the first country that would suffer would be india. And it is good for Pakistanis to see that the hand that supports suicide bombers in the country is helped by india, that is why india is our eternal enemy.

Suffer how?

From what History tells us, your country has a long history of suicidal campaigns against India anyways....So if the Jihadis do take over your country, instead of suicidal trigger happy armymen we will be facing suicidal terrorists....doesnt change a thing

But the implications for your country and countrymen would be grave...
