So-Called Operation!!!!!!!

THE so-called operation conducted by the American commandos in Abbottabad, one of the peaceful city of Pakistan, to hunt the world’s most wanted man Osama Bin Laden is a two weeks old story, yet confusion continues to grip millions of Pakistanis with particular reference to the inhabitants of Abbottabad who still doubt the authenticity of the action. Same is the case with thousands of other inhabitants of the planet earth including large number of Americans who see no reason to believe that Osama Bin Laden was killed in a Pakistan on the night between 1st and 2nd May.

In-fact all the circumstantial evidence and the
events which followed the May 2 action points out that it was a well articulated drama staged by those at the helm of affairs in Washington at a highly appropriate time to achieve number of goals.

Inhabitants of Abbotabad had come to know about extraordinary movements and crashing of a helicopter followed by a military operation in a suburban area Bilal Town which is quite close to Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) Kakul on that very night. Like rest of the world they learnt on May 2 morning from the televised address of President Obama that the US special forces known as Navy seals had gunned down Osama Bin Laden along with his son , a lady and three other comrades during a unilateral action on a fortress like house in a Pakistani City Abbotabad.

Since then there has been a barrage of controversial statements both from International Media as well as the American administration.

The CNN and other international Media that jubilantly took the news, as their lead said the dead body of Osama was flown to Bagram Air base in the neighbouring Afghanistan, where US and allied forces staged adventure after nine eleven, for DNA test. However, US “bigs” said the remains of Osama were thrown in the sea after performing his last rituals as per the Islamic norms.

All those developments took place the same night when Osama was claimed to have been gunned down: The commando operation, air lifting the dead body of Al-Qaeda chief to distant Bagram Air Base near Kabul, conducting the DNA test (the experts are of the opinion that DNA test cannot be conducted in a short time), performance of last rituals and then throwing the body into deep seas. It might be possible in a James Bond movie but not in reality at least.

The US said the operation was conducted by none else but its own commandos acting on information they had been gathering since long and that Osama had been hiding in the compound and operating from there for the last five years with some American Law makers and intelligence men suggesting he also lived in a near by small city Haripur for two years.

One wonders the Americans who claim to have the most advanced technology to trace even a needle in any part of the world, could remain ignorant about the presence of Osama, the man they had been vehemently hunting for, using all their intelligence means, for long five years.

In fact, all the stories suggesting Osama Bin Laden’s killing in Abbottabad are only based on American claims. There is nothing on ground which could substantiate that Al-Qaeda chief was killed on May 2 nor could Americans come up with solid evidence to prove to world that they had hunted down their so-called most wanted man in Abbottabad Operation.

It was totally a drama staged by the Americans to fulfill their ulterior motives”, was the considered opinion of more than 90% residents of Abbottabad with whom this scribe had interacted.

The land for the so-called fortress like building in which the America’s most wanted man was “hiding”, was sold out by one Fazlur Rehman in 2003 and after a few transactions was finally purchased by one Arshad Khan in the same year who started construction in 2003 and completed the building in the year 2005.

The piece of land measured 6 Kanal and 13 Marla. “The building has ordinary 4 inch roof slabs and its windows open to all the four directions. Nothing extraordinary was added to the construction which could give the impression of a strong structure, suitable enough to accommodate a most wanted person of the world”, a credible source residing close to the compound told Observer. The only specialty the compound is its 18 feet high boundary walls which too is nothing extra ordinary keeping in view the Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa and Pashtun traditions attaching high importance to observance of Purdah by women.

The compound in question falls within the jurisdiction of Cantonment Board Abbottabad which allowed the construction of high compound wall though as per the Board by laws only six feet high compound wall is allowed.

“The residents of compound, who preferred to avoid interaction with the neighbours, were known as caring , peace loving and law abiding citizens. They were never found involved in mysterious activities nor any movement of suspects was ever noted” there ,another resident of the area said.

It is quite intriguing that at a time when the so called operation was being conducted, there was a power break down in the vast area while the load shedding plan varied from feeder to feeder.

The photos of Osama released by the Americans depicted him as relaxed person with a fresh face heaving no wrinkles. How could a person living under tense condition be so relaxed. Did the dead body air lifted from a compound in Abbottabad undergo a plastic surgery some where in Kabul to give it a look of Osama Bin Laden, a dermatologist posed a serious question while interacting with this scribe.

The Americans claimed to have taken into possession even the minute record as well as Osama’s “hand written diary and computer files which according to US officials revealed Al-Qaeda’s past sabotage activities as well as the future plans with a British paper claiming that Osama was planning to target American President Obama. One then wonders as to why the US commandos titled NAVY SEALS did not get hold of the Osama’s wives and other people present in the compound which could have led to more “valuable disclosures”.

What prompted Obama administration to go for articulating a drama of caching Osama in Pakistan, is no longer a million dollar question. By staging the play titled “ Killing of Al-Qaeda chief in a Pakistani city” Americans wanted to kill two birds with one stone. They needed to have a justification to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and entry to Pakistan ( to counter the impression the US Senator John Kerry was suggesting to the Obama administration that immediate withdrawal of forces from troubled Afghanistan would be unwise) , Mr. Obama also had to show his performance by “accomplishing a mission ( hunting Osama)” ahead the mid term polls in United States.

Likewise the Americans had to defend the existence of CIA spies in Pakistan. While the Pakistani government, in the backdrop of Raymond Davis ugly episode and this time loudly supported even by the military leadership, asked those at the helm of affairs in Washington to immediately stop CIA’s covert operations in Pakistan and withdraw her two hundred plus CIA operatives from here the, the US administration, the observers fear, would not only defend the presence of their agents in Pakistan but may pump hundreds of more CIA agents in to Pakistan.

In this scribes story published in the same columns a few years back, it was disclosed that the Al-Qaeda chief died his natural death in the Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan after developing a serious kidney problem and that he was buried there in the presence of his family members and a few close comrades. My contention was later supported by many people including serious people from America.

A senior political American scientist Webster Tarpley believe that Osama bin Laden was a past story and that his body was frozen by the Americans for many years. Another political scientist from US Alex John said he and his other colleagues are 100% sure that Osama had died long ago.
