It’s obvious to everyone that PNS Mehran attack was an insider job. This attack did not happen because Pak forces were incompetent, it happened because there were Taliban sympathizers among navy personnel.

"Foreign powers" as in Saudis? haha.
I think at this moment this is just some speculation that agencies picked him. I just saw some people saying this on one of social networking websites, and I thought this may be true. Because what he wrote in Asia Times was very detailed information of capturing of Taliban affiliates, navy's contacts with Qaeda leadership, possibility of involvement of top navy officials with Taliban ... and resulting attack on PNS Mehran.
This much detail coming in open may have been difficult for some agencies to swallow.
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
Some one asked me some time to tell some stories,
That is the reason to be afraid,
He was from media so you got the story, What can happen to the ordinary people like me,
And think about My poor Bloch brothers with no access anywhere.
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
similar things are happening to them, disappearances and then suddenly their corpse will be found rotting somewhere. Whats the difference between Pakistan Army and Taleban, btw?
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
If he really was picked by agencies, and not by Taliban affiliates, then I suppose pressure from society can get him released.
People have the right to know the truth.

So you think all these corpses you are talking about are the results of army's killings?
Where is the proof? And if there is no proof then stop abusing army based on speculations and conjectures.
It's amazing that you can't see difference between army and Taliban. Taliban and their affiliates have killed TENS OF THOUSANDS of innocent Pakistanis for one reason or another.
You think they are the same as Pak army? Really?
If some people here on this forum can not see difference between Taliban and Pak Army then it is no surprise that similar people among navy personnel helped Talibaniites attack PNS Mehran.
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
think that he brought up real things. not good for him and for other parties.
That's true. Pakistanis in general have difficulty admitting that they problems of their own. We rather like to blame others for our own sins.
Same goes with agencies.
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
Yes Pakistan army and ISI are no angels. After all they did create Taliban themselves which is now haunting themselves. But hey, don’t bring Bangladesh here without proper understanding of the background and the reality.
Now let’s say all that Bangalis and Indians say is true, do you really think this means Taliban and Pak Army are the same? Do you really justify Taliban’s attack on PNS Mehran? Do you really justify Taliban’s killings of Pakistani soldiers and policemen? Do you really see no difference army and those who have killed Pakistanis indiscriminately? Do you really think army kills Pakistanis in markets?
If this is what you think then what Saleem Shahzad wrote was completely true. Army and other forces are infiltrated with people who consider Pakistan their enemies, and would instead support Taliban.
I wonder how many other people on this forum think that Pakistan army and Taliban are the same?!

Update:
Human Rights Watch (HRW) says that they have "credible information" that he is in ISI's custody and may be released tonight.
This is a tweet from Ali Dayan Hasan of HRW.

It seems that Americans know about the extra judicial killings if any have been carried out in KP and Balochistan, and they will use that for blackmailing/bargaining chip, as they allowed Saddam and other dictators to carry out genocide of their people when it suited their interests and used it as a charge sheet when they wanted to dispose of them. May Allah guide the security forces towards the right path.
Re: Journalist who published story of nexus between Navy officials and Taliban is mis
The last story he published was quite detailed. He even gave names of the contacts. For example he said that it was “Abdul Samad Mansoori” who was contacted by navy for talks with Qaeda.
Abdul Samad Mansoori, a former student union activist and now part of 313 brigade, who originally hailed from Karachi but now lives in the North Waziristan tribal area was approached and talks begun. Al-Qaeda demanded the immediate release of the officials without further interrogation. This was rejected.

All the above is based on nothing but conjecture, because it starts with "It seems like".
Where is the proof?
