Al Qaeda is attempting to procure nuclear material and recruit rogue scientists in order to build a radioactive “dirty bomb”, reports Daily Times on February 2 quoting leaked documents published in Telegraph. The cables, released by the WikiLeaks website, showed that security chiefs informed NATO in January 2009 that al Qaeda was planning a programme of “dirty radioactive Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)”. The documents also revealed that al Qaeda papers found in 2007 convinced security officials that “greater advances” had been made in bio-terrorism. Also laid bare in the diplomatic cables are the attempts made to smuggle volatile materials as rogue organisations seek to get their hands on weapons-grade fuel. A freight train on the Kazakhstan-Russia border was found to be carrying weapons-grade material while a “small-time” dealer in Lisbon tried to sell radioactive plates stolen from Chernobyl in Ukraine.

The US military issued its first new statement of strategy in seven years, moving beyond a focus on the war in Afghanistan to address the rise of China and other strategic challenges. The 2011 national military strategy, issued on February 8, vows to expand security cooperation with Pakistan and enable it to defeat al Qaeda and its extremist allies operating in the region. “…. We will continue to erode Taliban influence, work with the Afghan government to facilitate reintegration and reconciliation of former insurgents, continue to strengthen the capacity of Afghan security forces, and enable Pakistan to ultimately defeat al Qaeda and its extremist allies,” says the document.

Leiter said LeT's previous attacks in Kashmir and India have had a destabilising effect on the region, increasing tension and brinkmanship between New Delhi and Islamabad. LeT, which has a well documented relationship with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), has been involved in some of the major terrorist attacks in India, including the Mumbai terrorist attack, the attack on the Indian Parliament (December 13, 2001) and Akshardham Temple. “We are concerned that it is increasing its operational role in attacks against coalition forces in Afghanistan,” he said. Besides LeT, the US is also focused on other outfits like al Qaeda, Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Haqqani network.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Leon Panetta on February 16 said to US lawmakers that his country has a very complicated relationship with Pakistan and both the countries often have conflicting view point on different issues, reports Times of India. "I have to tell you that it (US-Pakistan) is very complicated and it does involve oftentimes conflicting viewpoints of how we deal with issues," Panetta told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing of the senate select committee on intelligence. The relationship between Pakistan and the US is one of the most complicated relationships that he has seen in a long time, he said in response to a question. "On the one hand, obviously we are involved at targeting the leadership of al Qaeda there in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). And we do get the cooperation of the Pakistanis in that effort in trying to target those individuals that concern us and that threaten this country, and threaten their country as well," Panetta noted. "In addition to that we have gotten their cooperation on a military basis, being able to go into places like South Waziristan and have a military presence there, moving some troops from the Indian border for the purposes of doing that. And that has been appreciated as well," he added.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on February 18 said that Pakistan risks major instability at home and a hampered war effort in next-door Afghanistan if it does not implement reforms and stop fomenting anti-American sentiment, reports Daily Times. During a speech to the Asia Society in New York, Clinton said Pakistani cooperation was critical to the success of the fight against Taliban and al Qaeda extremists in neighbouring Afghanistan. She voiced hope that US-led military efforts would split Taliban from al Qaeda in Afghanistan, laying the groundwork for a lasting political settlement. She reaffirmed US plans to start reducing troops in July and complete the drawdown by the end of 2014 as Afghans take charge of their war-torn country.

Meanwhile, an Iraqi al Qaeda operative was believed to be one of the seven militants killed by a US missile strike on a house in the village of Kaza Panga in the Azam Warsak area of South Waziristan Agency on February 20, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The officials said the person, identified as Abu Zaid al-Iraqi, handled the terrorist group’s finances in Pakistan. He was not known to be on any published US lists of wanted al Qaeda leaders, and US officials do not normally acknowledge the existence of the CIA-led missile program or talk about who is being killed.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) drones killed at least 581 terrorists in Pakistan in 2010, but only two were noteworthy enough to appear on a US list of most-wanted terrorists, Daily Times quoting The Washington Post reported February 21. The Washington Post reported that the CIA carried out a record 118 drone strikes over the last year, costing more than USD one million apiece. The CIA is increasingly killing “mere foot soldiers”, a senior Pakistani official said, adding that the issue has come up in discussions in Washington involving President Asif Ali Zardari. A Washington think-tank, New America Foundation, reported that US drone strikes soared from 33 in 2008 to 118 in 2010. The increase cost US taxpayers USD 118 million and managed to kill 581 militants. The New America Foundation, however, concluded that 12 “militant leaders” were killed by drone strikes in 2010, compared with 10 in 2008. “Even so, the data suggest that the ratio of senior terrorism suspects being killed is declining at a substantial rate” while the number of strikes multiplied, The Washington Post observed. Even by the Foundation’s more generous estimates, the newspaper noted, the CIA’s drone campaign, covertly authorised by Islamabad, hit foot-soldier types 94 per cent of the time. Meanwhile, former President Pervez Musharraf had cut a secret deal with the US in 2006, allowing clandestine CIA operations in his country. This was done to make the Americans believe that Islamabad was not secretly helping the Taliban insurgents. Under the agreement, the CIA was allowed to acquire the services of private security firms, including Blackwater (Xe Worldwide) and DynCorp to conduct surveillance on the Taliban and al Qaeda. Quoting New York Times, Express Tribune states that even before his arrest, Davis’s CIA affiliation was known to Pakistani authorities. It added that his visa, presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in late 2009, describes his job as a “regional affairs officer,” a common job description for officials working with the agency. “Davis’s job was to trail links of the Taliban and al Qaeda in different parts of Pakistan. But, instead, investigators found that he had developed close links with the TTP,” added a source. The pressure on the Pakistan Government to release Davis has been steadily intensifying. There have been a flurry of private phone calls to Pakistan from Leon E Panetta, the CIA director, and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all intended to persuade the Pakistanis to release the secret operative.

A Pakistani official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said allowing high-value targets to escape reflected a decision by the US since August 2010 to use greater caution in the drone strikes. A strike had destroyed a militant hideout in North Waziristan, killing 13 members of the Afghan Taliban but also four women and three children who were living among them, according to Pakistani intelligence officials. The US officials said there had been no policy change and say there always had been occasions when the CIA decides not to fire at a target in the midst of civilians. Those officials would confirm only the Haqqani incident also cited two further occasions in the past year when missiles that had already been fired from drones were diverted off target to avoid killing civilians.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) lost a chance IN 2010 to kill Sirajuddin Haqqani, the head of an anti-American terrorist network that is closely linked to al Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban, when it chose not to fire a missile at him from a predator drone because women and children were nearby, reported Daily Times quoting Chicago Tribune on February 22. The incident was one of at least three occasions in the past six months when a militant was identified on video and a shot was available, but United States (US) officials decided not to fire in an effort to avoid civilian casualties, said a senior Pakistani official familiar with the drone programme.

The top level United States (US) and Pakistani military commanders held talks in Muscat on February 23 to coordinate better the war against the Taliban and al Qaeda on Afghanistan border, reports Daily Times. Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Kayani, met in Muscat, the capital of Oman at a key juncture in US efforts to turn the tide on the nine-year war in Afghanistan. A US military official described the meeting as “very candid” with “very productive discussions”. General David Petraeus, the commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan, also took part in the talks. The Pakistani military said the meeting was focused on regional security and would “explore new ways to better coordinate military operations”.
