Pakistan Army Headquarters Burns
By Munir Ahmad
Associated Press Writer
Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2001; 6:10 a.m. EDT
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Fire tore through Pakistan's army
headquarters early Wednesday, burning for more than five hours
and gutting offices before it was brought under control, authorities
said.
The president's spokesman blamed a short circuit.
The fire broke out shortly after 4 a.m. at the Pakistani army's
General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, just outside the capital,
Islamabad, said spokesman Maj. Gen. Rashid Quereshi.
There were no injuries, and the extent of the damage was not
immediately clear, Islamabad fire chief Mohammed Yaqoob said.
"The entire structure of the GHQ has been gutted. Furniture has
been reduced to ashes. Dozens of offices have been burned
completely," firefighter Abdul Qayum said.
Quereshi said a short circuit in a stationery store within the
headquarters caused the fire.
Hundreds of army officers are based in the headquarters.
The fire came two days after Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez
Musharraf, reshuffled his army leadership in an apparent attempt
to strengthen his power base after deciding to support the U.S.-led
campaign against terrorism in neighboring Afghanistan.

India helped FBI trace ISI-terrorist links
MANOJ JOSHI
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
NEW DELHI: While the Pakistani Inter Services Public Relations
claimed that former ISI director-general Lt-Gen Mahmud Ahmad
sought retirement after being superseded on Monday, the truth is
more shocking.
Top sources confirmed here on Tuesday, that the general lost his job
because of the "evidence" India produced to show his links to one of
the suicide bombers that wrecked the World Trade Centre. The US
authorities sought his removal after confirming the fact that
$100,000 were wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from
Pakistan
by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of Gen Mahmud.
Senior government sources have confirmed that India contributed
significantly to establishing the link between the money transfer and
the role played by the dismissed ISI chief. While they did not
provide details, they said that Indian inputs, including Sheikh's
mobile phone number, helped the FBI in tracing and establishing the
link.
A direct link between the ISI and the WTC attack could have enormous
repercussions. The US cannot but suspect whether or not there were
other senior Pakistani Army commanders who were in the know of
things. Evidence of a larger conspiracy could shake US confidence in
Pakistan's ability to participate in the anti-terrorism coalition.

October 30 2002: A report indicated that of the six
new
Al Qaeda leaders, who the United States believes are currently in active
command of the group, one is said to be residing in Pakistan and two in the
Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. The three terrorists are Saif al-Adel alias
Makkawi,
an Egyptian, Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah
alias
Abu Mohammed al Masri,
Al Qaeda's `financial officer'
and Tawfiq bin Atash alias Khallad, Al Qaeda's `senior operational planner'. While
the first two are believed to be in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, the last is
reportedly in Pakistan.
December 18 2002: Ahmed Javed Khawaja, a medical practitioner, is arrested
along with four of his relatives for harbouring Al Qaeda terrorists at his residence
in Lahore.
· According to an Interior Ministry statement in the Lahore court (submitted in
January 2003) the terrorists harboured[at other times but not arrested Dec 18] by
the family were Abu Yasir Al Jaziri, identified as an Algerian or Moroccan,
Assadullah and
Sheikh Said Al- Misri, both listed as Egyptians
and Abu Faraj, listed as North African.
· Al Jaziri was "responsible for the business of al-Qaeda,"
[Sheikh Said] Al-Misri
was a financial chief of the network,
and Faraj was the head of Al Qaeda's North Africa network, according to the
statement. Faraj was also a deputy of
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
suspected mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Bob> Iraqi Mahdi army is spelled mehdi in Pak, mehdi is a strong man
Brief on Islamic Terrorism and Extremism in South-East Asia, K.P.S. Gill, Jan. 2004
Here I found another this time Indian transliteration: *al Misri* for *al Masri*
like Hitler, with a messianic religious scaffolding. A letter different
is usually the same, with names anyway. "Mahdi" army is not so
much about the army but a claim that a leader is chosen by god
to rule Iraq, or Pakistan, at least. A bit of puffery there in Iraq,
but presumption is indulged as trial, test, game, sport, entertainment,
whatever. I attach Pak journalistic treatment of the mehdi or violent
man concept as applied to Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. He seems
to be dead, but the violent search for mehdi continues in Pakistan.
Bob> "Interior Ministry statement in the Lahore court (submitted insee above pdf.doc on page 16 of 89this might be our Saeed Shaikh I found him via the search term *financial* since he again is called Al-Qaeda's financial expert:
arrested in Lahore on Dec./18/2002:
Assadullah & Sheikh Said Al-Misri both listed as Egyptian ... (listed where? ... )
January 2003)" concerning the doctor's fake arrest.Bob> They were not arrested, only the doctor was arrested for "harboring"and here I indeed learn something:The meeting on the train is no German intelligence but American: Notes on Chapter 5, 89. Intelligence reports, Interrogations of Binalshibh, Oct. 7, 2003, May 20, 2003.
So this could be indirect evidence that the Binalshibh arrest somehow triggered the arrest of the two al Masri / Misri Egyptians.
Omar previously. The whole thing was staged to create legend for an alias
of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh to help Porter Op40 Goss, 911 breakfast
buddy of Omar's Pak ISI's general Ahmed, who ordered Omar to fund Atta.
If arresting Omar was the point, they would have arrested Omar, but they
were only arresting the doctor to brush out the trail from Goss to Omar
by obfuscating one of Omar's aliases, two if you include the Abu
Mohammed al Masri alias ONLY TWO PAGES LATER, ALSO called
alqaeda moneyman, same as Omar, London School of Economics

Second Opinion: The mind of Umar Saeed Sheikh
Khaled Ahmed’s Urdu Press Review
After the sacralisation of covert war through jehad and the use of it by the state, the power of the violent man was not only validated but a premium was put on it. It became useful and laudatory for individuals to become violent in order to seek validation. The violent man begins by being exempt from the application of law. But his apotheosis actually happens when this exemption is accorded to him formally by the state
Umar Sheikh Saeed was a violent man, as shown by his record at Lahore’s Aitchison College. Personal physical power was combined with the power of ideology at some juncture in his career. This happened not only at the personal level; the collective Muslim grievance against the West played a part in it. His charisma emanated from that source. In Pakistan naked power often expressed through group-sanctioned terrorism has forced people to accord respect and place of honour to the violent man. There are many Umar Saeed Sheikhs in our religious and ethnic parties exploiting group validation to prey on society.
Umar Sheikh said upon his conviction[WallStJ journalist Daniel Pearl kidnap-murder] that those who wanted him killed would die first. He said the contest was between Islam and ‘kufr’.
Umar Saeed Sheikh’s close connections with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other Sipah Sahaba-based jehadi organisations have been reported in the press. These organisations are going to try their best to save Sheikh from being punished. The government may be interested in getting rid of him because he once worked for the intelligence agencies, but it runs the risk of ‘rogues’ inside the official spy world helping in this save-Umar Sheikh effort. Jehad has given legitimate cover to many individuals who were initially unfit to live in society. Much before jehad became the buzzword in the gangland, local bullies and extortionists had begun sporting beards and seeking patronage from local mullahs. Both empowered each other.
When Altaf Hussain began his ethnic war based on the ‘grievances’ of the muhajir community in Sindh, many pathologically violent men joined the MQM and resumed their extortions called ‘bhatta’. But after the sacralisation of covert war through jehad and the use of it by the state, the power of the violent man was not only validated but a premium was put on it. It became useful and laudatory for individuals to become violent in order to seek validation. The violent man begins by being exempt from the application of law. But his apotheosis actually happens when this exemption is accorded to him formally by the state. Umar Sheikh behaved extremely peacefully in the UK where he knew Islam would not gain him exemption from law. In Pakistan he joined thousands of others whom the state nurtured to covertly pull its military chestnuts out of the fire.
Quoted in ‘Jang’ (16 July 2002), advocate general Sindh, Raja Qureshi stated that he was worried that the other three terrorists involved in the kidnap and murder of Daniel Pearl were not given death sentence. He said his life was now in danger and he would like the government to appeal for the death sentence of the said three terrorists.
The state has since appealed. But the plaint of Raja Qureshi is significant. The case was shifted from Karachi jail to Hyderabad jail because the terrorist friends of Umar Sheikh were reported planning an attack on the Karachi jail. In Sindh, a number of lower court judges have been killed in the past because the powerful elements backing the criminals sought revenge and wanted to teach the other judges a lesson. In the case of Riaz Basra, another violent man much like Umar Sheikh, a dozen judges of the Lahore Court either refused to hear his case or allowed the case to hang fire till they retired or were elevated. Judges at the sessions level are completely without protection against the swelling ranks of violent people nurtured by the state. In 1998, a Faisalabad sessions judge gave a hanging verdict to Ayub Masih because there was a mob of such violent people outside the court.
Riaz Basra was made to escape from the Lahore High Court premises to relieve the judges of the torture of confronting him in court.
He had finally to be
killed
in a
fake
encounter.
The Umar Sheikh conviction has become a ‘cause celebre’ and will be used to smear the Musharraf government. A further sanction will thus be received by violence. He fights on the side of Islam against ‘kufr’, which is what most of the clergy is pretending to do too. Slowly the legitimacy of the violent man will be set up as a challenge to the legitimacy of the man in government. In some Muslim states where internal sovereignty is fuzzy, violence underpinned by ideology is being used to challenge and defeat the regime in power.
PML leader Mushahid Hussain writing in ‘Nawa-e-Waqt’ (16 July 2002) said that after 1990 Pakistan’s intelligence agencies were busy fighting an inter-agency war. During the PPP rule in 1989 ISI and MI were fighting it out. During the PML rule from 1990 to 1993, IB was at loggerheads with MI, and during 1998-99 once again ISI and MI were at each other’s throat, showing conflict between the elected government and the army.
It was state paranoia turned upon the state itself. On both sides of the war, the officers were from the army. Retired General Kallu heading the ISI was being hounded by in-service army officers inside his own agency while the MI was unleashed on the ISI by General Aslam Beg. During the PML rule Brigadier Billa of the IB was harassing the ISI under Ms Bhutto as well as the army chief General Asif Nawaz who probably died under the strain of this army-versus-army theatre of the macabre. Those who think that there are no chinks in the army should look at this spy war. In 1995, it all came to a head when Major General Zaheerul Islam Abbasi tried (unsuccessfully) to arrest all the top brass of the army.
