More evidence of CIA-backed syndicate involvement in Mumbai attacks

WMR’s Asian intelligence sources have provided additional
information on the wave of terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
Under pressure from Washington, this past May Pakistan’s
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani cut a secret deal with the
United States and India to turn over to Delhi a number of residents
of Pakistan wanted by India for terrorism. One of those included
in the deal was the CIA’s erstwhile asset, Mumbai-born Dawood
Ibrahim, a veteran of CIA operations in Afghanistan during the
mujahedin war against the Soviets.
Ibrahim, according to our sources, has been under the protection
of Pakistan’s Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) intelligence
agency since June. He is being protected in Quetta, near the Waziristan
tribal region. The CIA is fearful that if Ibrahim is deported
to India, RAW and Russia’s Vladimir Putin will obtain the
entire dossier on the CIA’s sponsorship of criminal activities
and terrorist attacks. ISI would prefer Ibrahim to move to the
United Arab Emirates, perhaps Dubai, where he has extensive financial
interests. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is a business
rival of Ibrahim and the ISI would like Ibrahim to be at a distance
from Pakistan’s president and “settle scores”
with his old “allies” and new enemies in Langley from
outside Pakistani territory.

Ibrahim is reportedly using his gangland “muscle”
in India to send a clear message to Delhi and Washington that
he is a force to be reckoned with. The son of a Bombay (Mumbai)
police constable who, himself, dabbled in organized criminal activity,
Ibrahim has his informants and agents peppered throughout the
Indian police, India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW),
and Pakistan’s ISI. Ibrahim also knows a great deal about
the CIA’s operations on the subcontinent, including having
the “goods” on the CIA’s “Afghanist”
agents, as well as agency veterans of Kathmandu who dabbled in
personal loans from Ibrahim to pay off gambling debts, personal
favors for the CIA, highly sought after prostitutes, and drugs.
Many of these veterans of Nepal are now senior analysts and operational
personnel at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
The CIA has every reason to blame the Mumbai attacks on a coterie
of “Islamist” groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba, “Al
Qaeda,” and a new group called “Deccan Mujahedin.”
If the media takes a closer look at Ibrahim they will find links
to Langley and that is something neither the CIA nor Pakistan
or India wants to see happen lest other “dirty laundry”
also comes to the forefront. Ibrahim’s joint casino interests
with the CIA in Kathmandu apparently involves money laundering
for top Indian politicians in New Delhi, as well as some of India’s
more well-known “Bollywood” actors.
Indian police are now reporting they have seven small boats in
their custody that were used by the Mumbai terrorists to sail
from Pakistan to the Indian coast. WMR has learned the boats in
question are inflatables used by Ibrahim’s commandos who
landed on the Mumbai seafront from Karachi with AK-47s and walked
down the sidewalk into the lobbies of 5-star hotels and simply
opened fire. Part of Ibrahim’s motive is not only to send
a message to Washington, London, and Delhi that he will not be
traded in a double-cross engineered by the CIA but also to send
a warning to the extremist Hindu Shiv Sena terrorist gang that
he is not ceding Mumbai’s gangland turf to Shiv Sena without
a fight.
Ibrahim also sent a warning message to Israel by seizing Chabad
House in Mumbai, reportedly a haven for right-wing Jewish Orthodox
groups and Israeli military “trainers” who pose as
backpackers on holiday in Kashmir during their reconnaissance
missions.
Apparently, the Israelis’ uncouth behavior toward Kashmiri
locals, including cheating taxi drivers and lodges, became known
to Ibrahim who figured he could also take advantage of his assault
on Mumbai to teach the Israelis a couple of lessons. The Israelis
are in Kashmir to train Indians on their side of the India-Pakistan
Kashmiri Line of Control. The Israelis maintain a military training
facility, known as the Ibex Center, outside of Leh, the capital
of Ladakh. There, the Israelis train Tibetan exiles and local
Buddhist soldiers who serve in the Ladakh Scouts, the mountain
commandos who patrol the Indian side of the Line of Control and
the Siachen Glacier. Also trained by the Israelis is the “Tibetan
Army,” the Indian Army unit also known as the Special Frontier
Force. The training takes place at the Mussorie parajump base
in northern India. Kashmiri separatists claim Israeli trainers
have served with Tibetan commandos in putting down insurgencies
in Assam and Manipur in northeastern India.
The Israelis began operating out of Chabad House after receiving
a contract in 1996, a year after a group of Western tourists were
captured by militants in Kashmir. A Norwegian was beheaded in
the incident. The attack was condemned by every mujahedin group
in Kashmir and Pakistan. Some blamed Israelis for the kidnapping
of the Westerners in exchange for the security contract and the
use of Indian Air Force bases in Jammu, part of the Indian state
of Jammu and Kashmir. The Jammu bases are within a 20-minute striking
range of Pakistan’s nuclear facilities and missile bases.
Pakistani ISI alleges that Israeli fighter bombers at the Jammu
bases are disguised with false Indian markings and are armed with
nuclear weapons.
WMR’s Asian intelligence sources report that Chabad Houses
are fronts for Israeli military intelligence and Mafia activities
in other Asian cities. In Bangkok, Israeli military pilots and
drivers who stay at the Chabad House there train Thai Army commandos,
divers, and pilots who are fighting a Muslim secessionist movement
along the southern border with Malaysia. Bangkok police have long
suspected Chabad House as a center for the Israeli Mafia, which
runs its Ecstasy and Ice trade from Bangkok for all of Southeast
and East Asia. The Israeli Mafia also reportedly runs heroin labs
in Myanmar, where an Israeli military officer serves in Myanmar’s
feared military counter-intelligence agency.
By torching the Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai, Ibrahim has
also earned a few extra points with Pakistan’s government.
The Taj Mahal is owned by the Taj Group, an enterprise of the
multi-billionaire Tata family of India. Tata stands to make a
fortune from the U.S.-India nuclear technology sharing pact as
a defense supplier for India’s future modernized nuclear
arsenal. The targeting of the Tata-owned hotel was a stark warning,
via Ibrahim’s gang, that America will pay dearly for backing
India’s expanded nuclear ambitions. And for that, Islamabad
obviously looked the other way as Ibrahim’s men deployed
to Mumbai by sea from Karachi.
