SPECIAL REPORT ON GENERAL MUSHARRAF's SERVICES TO
THE
USA:
Veteran Pakistani American journalist Syed Adeeb
has 'outed' the CENTCOM
report on General Musharraf's services rendered
to
Bush
and Blair. The Pakistani General seems to be a
CIA
agent who has
betrayed Islam, committed
treachery against the
Afghan
and the Pakistani
people, ruined Pakistan to the
tune of 10 billion dollars and is still using the
Pakistani army to hunt
Islamic refugees on the Afghan frontier.
SYED ADEEB'S efforts and the HARD FACTS OF the
CENTCOM report [both published
below] pose serious questions for the Pakistani
people. It looks like the CIA
agent Musharref has fooled the Islamic parties,
letting them demonstrate in
the streets, while he carried on his dirty work
to destroy Pakistan's allies
in Afghanistan.
The
JIHAD MOVEMENT
in Pakistan too has to face
the question: Your JIHAD in
Kashmir
has been undermined by the CIA agent
sitting in Islamabad. What's the
point of talking about Islam while those who
sacrificed everything for Islam
were captured by Musharref's mercenaries and
handed over to the CIA.
USA launched 57,000 air attacks on Afghanistan
from FIVE PAKISTANI AIR BASES.
Go chew on that!

U.S. CENTCOM report on the Pakistan Military
Government's unlawful,
unconstitutional and mercenary role in the
Musharraf-Bush-Blair war
against innocent citizens of Afghanistan and
Pakistan.
by SYED ADEEB
WASHINGTON DC, USA, 18 May 2003
(InformationTimes.com) -- The United
States Central Command (USCENTCOM) has recently
disclosed
that 'Pakistani' military dictator General Pervez
Musharraf, who is a
mercenary of the CIA and Pentagon, played an evil
clandestine role in
the genocide of tens of thousands of innocent
Afghans, Pakistanis and
Muslims by providing land, sea and air bases to
the US/Coalition
military in Pakistan and by allowing US/Coalition
armed forces to
launch a total of 57,800 warplane attacks on
occupied Afghanistan
from Pakistan's air-space and soil during
11 September 2001
and
October 2002.
The U.S. CENTCOM report points out that because
of General
Musharraf's covert and overt support for George
W. Bush's and Tony
Blair's war against all Pakistanis, Afghans,
Arabs, Muslims, Islam, the
Pakistan economy
has suffered a loss of over 10 billion dollars
since October 2001.
The U.S. CENTCOM report on how General Musharraf
and his
corrupt/tyrannical junta turned Pakistan into a
slave state of the
anti-American Bush regime -- which is run by
NeoCons,
Zionists,
religious fanatics,
racists,
bigots, liars,
con-artists, war
criminals, pirates and imperialists -- reveals:
"(1) Support Provided by Pakistan for OEF. Up
till Oct. 2002, some of
the specific assistance provided by Pakistan for
Operation Enduring
Freedom is as follows:"
"A. Provision of Air Bases/Airfields. In order to
meet the
requirement of US/Coalition Forces, Pakistan
provided five air
bases/airfields. However, in emergency, planes
could land anywhere in
Pakistan. On the average 0.4 million litres of
fuel per day has been provided
to U.S. forces as well as all other services on
the bases
used by them. A total of 57,800 sorties have been
generated from
Pakistan's air space/soil."
"B. Provision of Air Corridor. In order to
facilitate launching of
air ops into Afghanistan, Pakistan provided 2/3
of its air space as
air corridor to the US/Coalition Forces. By so
doing, Pakistan had to
reschedule/redirect many of the commercial
flights."
"C. Provision of Naval Facilities. Pakistan Navy
provided landing
facility to the US/Coalition ships at Pasni. At
sea, Pakistan Navy
operations/training were curtailed in order to
accommodate and
facilitate the operations of US/Coalition Naval
Forces. According to
the U.S. Marine Corps Gazette of June 2002, the
Coalition Naval
Operations at Pasni were the largest amphibious
operations in size,
duration and depth that the Marine Corps had
conducted since the
Korean War. In all, 8,000 Marines, 330 vehicles
and over 1,350 tons
of equipment/logistic were off loaded at the
beach and later flown to
Kandhar from Pasni."
"F. ISAF [International Security Assistance
Force]. To facilitate the
operations of ISAF in Afghanistan, the Karachi
Airport (FMB) and Sea
Port facilities along with logistic support have
been extended. A MOU
in this regard was signed between the Governments
of UK and Pakistan.
Now that the role of lead Nation has been taken
over by Turkey, the
same facilities/assistance are being provided to
them."
The U.S. CENTCOM report says that General
Musharraf
and his army murdered, injured, tortured, raped,
robbed, displaced, persecuted and terrorized many
innocent citizens
of Pakistan and Afghanistan residing in the
"Tribal Areas" of NWFP
and Balochistan, Pakistan, in the name of the
so-called Bush-Blair
"global war on terrorism,"
which is
actually an illegal and
unconstitutional
religious-capitalist-imperialistic war for robbing
oil, gas and other resources of Muslims and
Arabs. The report states:
"(2) Pakistan's Operations Along Pak-Afghan
Border. A. Measures Taken
to Penetrate 'Tribal Areas'. Tora Bora operations
provided a window
of opportunity to penetrate these areas which was
capitalized by
quickly moving the Army in Tirah Valley which
captured 250 Al-Qaida/Taliban fleeing into Pakistan.
Later the Pak Army along with FC
[Frontier Constabulary] extended its operations
to Miran Shah and
Wana. Same analogy is being followed in North
Waziristan Agency/South Waziristan Agency (NWA/SWA)
to prevent slipping
in of Al-Qaida/Taliban into our territory.
In spite of ominous threat on Eastern
Border, Pakistan is maintaining a sizeable
portion of her
strategic forces on Western Border."
"B. On 25 June 2002, an operation was launched
against suspected Al-Qaida/Taliban elements in area
Azam Warsak (Wana). During this
operation 2 x Al-Qaida members were killed, one
apprehended, whereas
13 x security personnel were killed including 2 x
officers. This
shows Pakistan's resolve to not only 'drain the
swamp' but also nab
the 'alligators'."
"D. Deployment of Forces"
"1. Initial Deployment. Initially two Army corps
along with large
contingents of FC troops (para military) were
deployed along Western
border including some of the areas hitherto
considered as no go
tribal areas. A total of 60,000 regular troops
and 55,000
paramilitary personnel were employed on sealing
of western border,
internal security duties and protection of
various bases being used
by US/Coalition Forces. Later bulk of the regular
formations was
shifted towards the eastern border due to
Indian
Military build up.
Because of very effective security arrangements
ensured by Pakistan,
not a single breach of security has occurred
around the bases in use
by Coalition Forces."
"2. Current Deployment. In spite of imminent
threat of war on our
Eastern border and at peril to our security Army
till today continues
to retain 3 x brigades size regular force along
with 40 x FC Wings
totalling approximately 45,000 troops along
Pak-Afghan Border."
"E. On Going Operations. A division (-) size
force is operating along
Pak-Afghan border with the purpose of eliminating
suspected Al-Qaida/Taliban elements and
regular monitoring."
The U.S. CENTCOM report points out that the
Musharraf-Bush-Blair war
against innocent children, women and men of
Afghanistan and
Pakistan has bankrupted Pakistan's economy:
"(3) Effects of Operation Enduring Freedom on
Economy of Pakistan.
Operation Enduring Freedom adversely affected the
already fragile
economy of Pakistan. Major losses were caused to
the civil aviation,
tourism, investment and shipping due to rise in
the rates of
insurance. Besides this, Pakistani exports also
suffered adversely
and foreign investments experienced a visible
decline. According to a
rough estimate, Pakistan's economy suffered a
loss of over US$ 10
billion since October 2001."
Headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa,
Florida, United
States Central Command (USCENTCOM) is one of nine
Unified Combatant
Commands assigned operational control of U.S.
combat forces. U.S.
CENTCOM's Commander, Israeli General Tommy R.
Franks -- who is now
being prosecuted in a Belgian court of law for
committing thousands
of barbarous crimes against humanity, war crimes
and genocide in
Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines and elsewhere --
reports directly to
Israeli
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who
in turn, reports to
the President of Israel, George W. Bush, the
supreme Neo-Conservative, Zionist and Fundamentalist leader
of the Texas.
An article, headlined The Escalation of Iraqi
Crisis: Who Can Stop
the War?, published on 8 March 2003 in
IslamOnline.net
pointed
out: "America will never support democracy in the
Middle East [and
Pakistan]. Look at General [Pervez] Musharraf in
Pakistan, for
example. He is clinging to power by force, as a
[military] dictator.
He is working against his people; he is on the
payroll of the CIA and
making millions. This is the case for all the
Arab leaders, except a
few. Qadhafi, Saddam are clearly not on this
payroll. Instead, they
are targets."
At this time hundreds of militant Pakistanis,
Afghans, Arabs and
Muslims are struggling to "send General Pervez
Musharraf to Hell."

PAKISTAN
http://www.centcom.mil/operations/Coalition/Coalition_pages/pakistan.htm
Immediately after 9/11, Pakistan was prompt in
declaring unequivocal
support to U.S. in its 'war against terrorism'.
It expressed its
complete solidarity with U.S. in combating
terrorism in all forms and
was willing to provide not only moral but also
logistical support and
its military bases. Details of the efforts and
participation of
Pakistan and the adverse effects of following
this policy are given
in the ensuing paragraphs:
(1) Support Provided by Pakistan for OEF. Up till
Oct. 2002, some of
the specific assistance provided by Pakistan for
Operation Enduring
Freedom is as follows:
A. Provision of Air Bases/Airfields. In order to
meet the requirement
of US/Coalition Forces, Pakistan provided five
air bases/airfields.
However, in emergency, planes could land anywhere
in Pakistan. On the
average 0.4 million litres of fuel per day has
been provided to U.S.
forces as well as all other services on the bases
used by them. A
total of 57,800 sorties have been generated from
Pakistan's air
space/soil.
B. Provision of Air Corridor. In order to
facilitate launching of air
ops into Afghanistan, Pakistan provided 2/3 of
its air space as air
corridor to the US/Coalition Forces. By so doing,
Pakistan had to
reschedule/redirect many of the commercial
flights.
C. Provision of Naval Facilities. Pakistan Navy
provided landing
facility to the US/Coalition ships at Pasni. At
sea, Pakistan Navy
operations/training were curtailed in order to
accommodate and
facilitate the operations of US/Coalition Naval
Forces. According to
the U.S. Marine Corps Gazette of June 2002, the
Coalition Naval
Operations at Pasni were the largest amphibious
operations in size,
duration and depth that the Marine Corps had
conducted since the
Korean War. In all, 8,000 Marines, 330 vehicles
and over 1,350 tons
of equipment/logistic were off loaded at the
beach and later flown to
Kandhar from Pasni.
D. Summary of U.S. Requests. Details of request
since 11 September
2001 are as follows:
1. Requests Received: 2160
2. Action Completed: 2008
3. Action in Process: 152
E. Foreign Nationals Apprehended. Two of the most
wanted Al-Qaida
terrorists, Abu-Zubaida and Ramzi Bin Al-Shaiba,
were arrested by the
Pakistan's law enforcing agencies during well
planned and carefully conducted
raids and handed over to U.S. authorities. Abu
Zubaida was
considered Number 2 man in Al-Qaida leadership
thus his apprehension
has given a boost to OEF. Ramzi Bin Al-Shaiba is
suspected to be
actually involved in the terrorist attacks of
September 11. Overall
details since 11 September 2001 are:
1. Total Raids: 99
2. Foreign National Apprehended: 420
3. Handed Over to USA: 332
4. Extradited to Countries other than USA: 34
5. Released: 38
6. Under Interrogation: 16
F. ISAF. To facilitate the operations of ISAF in
Afghanistan, the
Karachi Airport (FMB) and Sea Port facilities
along with logistic
support have been extended. A MOU in this regard
was signed between
the Governments of UK and Pakistan. Now that the
role of lead Nation
has been taken over by
Turkey,
the same
facilities/assistance are
being provided to them.
(2) Pakistan's Operations Along Pak-Afghan Border
A. Measures Taken to Penetrate "Tribal Areas".
Tora Bora operations
provided a window of opportunity to penetrate
these areas which was
capitalized by quickly moving the Army in Tirah
Valley which captured
250 Al-Qaida/Taliban fleeing into Pakistan. Later
the Pak Army along
with FC extended its operations to Miran Shah and
Wana. In return,
tribals have been offered a sizeable development
package. The region,
being remote and under developed, warrants
bringing it at par with
rest of the country in terms of provision of
basic facilities like
communication infrastructure, health, education
and employment
opportunities. Same analogy is being followed in
North Waziristan
Agency/South Waziristan Agency (NWA/SWA) to
prevent slipping in of Al-Qaida/Taliban into our territory.
In spite of ominous threat on
Eastern Border, Pakistan is maintaining a
sizeable portion of her
strategic forces on Western Border. This clearly
speaks of our
resolve to support coalition operations against
Al-Qaida/Taliban
elements.
B. On 25 June 2002, an operation was launched
against suspected Al-Qaida/Taliban elements in area
Azam Warsak (Wana). During this
operation 2 x Al-Qaida members were killed, one
apprehended, whereas
13 x security personnel were killed including 2 x
officers. This
shows Pakistan's resolve to not only "drain the
swamp" but also nab
the "alligators".
C. Our Compulsions
1. Shortage of manpower, technical equipment and
funds.
2. Threats of war from India due to unresolved
Kashmir dispute
despite UN resolutions and Indian/international
commitments even
after 54 years.
3. Constitutional restraint of operations in the
FATAs (Federally
Administered Tribal Areas).
4. Domestic sensitivity to allow operations
within Pak territory by
foreign soldiers.
5. Cultural and religious sensitivities.
D. Deployment of Forces
1. Initial Deployment. Initially two Army corps
along with large
contingents of FC troops (para military) were
deployed along Western
border including some of the areas hitherto
considered as no go
tribal areas. A total of 60,000 regular troops
and 55,000
paramilitary personnel were employed on sealing
of western border,
internal security duties and protection of

not a single breach of security has occurred

2. Current Deployment. In spite of imminent
threat of war on our
Eastern border and at peril to our security Army
till today continues
to retain 3 x brigades size regular force along
with 40 x FC Wings
totalling approximately 45,000 troops along
Pak-Afghan Border.
E. On Going Operations. A division (-) size force
is operating along
Pak-Afghan border with the purpose of eliminating
suspected Al-Qaida/Taliban elements and regular monitoring.
(3) Effects of Operation Enduring Freedom on
Economy of Pakistan.
Operation Enduring Freedom adversely affected the
already fragile
economy of Pakistan. Major losses were caused to
