DAVID HEADLEY’S GURU ILYAS KASHMIRI SAYS, MUMBAI ATTACKS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WE’RE PLANNING

Now review what  apprehension designer David Headleyâ??s guru in Pakistan  Mohammed Ilyas Kashmiri had conspicuous in an talk final month to a Pakistani publisher in Waziristan. 

Ilyas Kashmiri, a fugitive Al Qaeda leader who transient a US Drone conflict in North Waziristan, has in an talk given to a Pakistani journalist, warned of a vital apprehension conflict conflicting India. 

Asked possibly a universe should design some-more Mumbai-type attacks, Ilyas Kashmiri said: “That was zero compared to what has already been programmed for a future.” 

The talk given to Pakistani publisher Syed Saleem Shahzad, who functions for Asian Times online, took place in a isolated place in South Waziristan. The contributor says which United States, Europe, Israel as good as India sojourn Al-Qaedaâ??s targets. 

Excerpts from a talk upon Asian Times online: 

Q : Do we hold which a nearing South Waziristan operation will be a ‘mother of all operations’ in a region, as a little analysts say?

A : we do not know how to fool around with difference during an interview.. we have continually been a margin commander in chief in arch in arch in arch in arch in arch as good as we know a denunciation of battlefields. we will try to answer your questions in a denunciation we am informed with. (Ilyas spoke mostly in Urdu, churned with a little Punjabi.)  Saleem, we will pull your courtesy to a basement of a benefaction quarrel drama as good as have use of which to insist a total plan of a nearing battles. Those who programmed this conflict essentially directed to move a world’s greatest Satan [US] as good as a allies in to this trap as good as engulf [Afghanistan]. Afghanistan is a singular place in a universe where a hunter has all sorts of traps to select from. 

It competence be deserts, rivers, plateau as good as a civic centers as well. This was a meditative of a planners of this quarrel who were ill as good as sleepy of a good Satan’s tellurian intrigues as good as they aim for a passing to have this universe a place of assent as good as justice. However, a good Satan was full of audacity of a supremacy as good as suspicion of Afghans as infirm statues who would be set upon from all 4 sides by a quarrel machines, as good as they would not have a energy as good as genius to retaliate. 

This was a apparition upon which a good fondness of universe powers came to Afghanistan, yet due to their unnoticed conceptions they progressively became trapped in Afghanistan. Today, NATO does not have any stress or relevance. They have mislaid a quarrel in Afghanistan. Now, when they satisfied their defeat, they grown an importance which this complete conflict is being fought from outward of Afghanistan, which is, a dual Waziristans. To me, this troops subject is a imagination which has combined a formidable incident in a segment as good as combined reactions as good as counter-reactions. we would not identical to to go in to a details, to me which was zero yet deviation. As a troops commander, a being is which a trap of Afghanistan is successful as good as a simple troops targets upon a belligerent have been achieved. 

Q : The relocation of 313 Brigade from Kashmir was itself explanation which unfamiliar hands were concerned in Afghanistan. 

A : The complete basement of your evidence is wrong, which this quarrel is being fought from outward of Afghanistan. This is usually an out-of-context bargain of a total situation. If we plead myself as good as 313 Brigade, we motionless to hang upon a Afghan rebellion as an particular as good as we had utterly a reason for that. Everybody knows which usually a decade ago we was fighting a quarrel of ransom for my homeland Kashmir. 

However, we satisfied which decades of armed as good as domestic struggles could not assistance to in. brazen a fortitude of this issue. Nevertheless, East Timor’s emanate was resolved yet losing many time. Why? Because a complete diversion was in a hands of a good Satan, a USA. Organs identical to a UN as good as countries identical to India as good as Israel were simply a prolongation of a resources as good as that’s because there was a disaster to finalise a Palestinian issue, a Kashmir emanate as good as a predicament of Afghanistan. 

So we as good as many people all conflicting a universe satisfied which analyzing a incident in any slight informal domestic viewpoint was an improper approach. This is a conflicting round diversion exactly for which a a single plan is compulsory. The better of American tellurian omnipotence is a contingency if we instruct a ransom of my homeland Kashmir, as good as thus it supposing a proof for my participation in this quarrel theater. 

When we came here we found my step justified; how a universe informal powers work underneath a absolute of a good Satan as good as how they have been understanding of a good plans. This can be seen here in Afghanistan.” He combined which al-Qaeda’s informal quarrel strategy, in which they have set upon Indian targets, is essentially to clout off American strength. 

The RAW [India's Research as good as Analysis Wing] has unconcern authority centers in a Afghan provinces of Kunar, Jalalabad, Khost, Argun, Helmand as good as Kandahar. The cover operations have been highway building a whole companies. For instance, a highway building a whole stipulate from Khost city to a Tanai clan area is rubbed by a executive who is essentially a stream Indian armed forces colonel. In Gardez, telecommunication companies have been a cover for Indian comprehension operations. Mostly, their organisation work with Muslim names, yet essentially a employees have been Hindus. 

Q : So should a universe design some-more Mumbai-like attacks? 

A : That was zero compared to what has already been programmed for a future.  

Q : Even conflicting Israel as good as a USA?”  

A : Saleem, we am not a normal jihadi minister who is concerned in sloganeering. As a troops commander, we would contend each aim has a specific time as good as reasons, as good as a responses will be stirring accordingly.  

Q : What tender we to hang upon al-Qaeda? 

A : We were both victims of a same tyrant. Today, a complete Muslim universe is ill of Americans as good as that’s because they have been identical with Sheikh Osama. If all of a Muslim universe is asked to elect their leader, their preference would be possibly [Taliban leader] Mullah Omar or Sheikh Osama.  

Q : If it is so, because have been a territory of militants focussed upon quarrel upon Muslim states identical to Pakistan? Do we consider this is correct? 

A : Our conflict cannot be conflicting Muslims as good as believers. As we have referred to earlier, what is function during a impulse in a Muslim universe is a complexity due to American energy games which have resulted in to reactions as good as counter-reactions. This is a all conflicting discuss as good as competence deviating me from a genuine topic. The genuine diversion is a quarrel conflicting a good Satan as good as a adherents. 

Q : What incited we from a most-beloved crony to a most-hated rivalry in a eyes of a Pakistani troops establishment?  

A : Pakistan is my dear nation as good as a people who live there have been a brothers, sisters as good as relatives. we cannot even consider of starting conflicting a interests. It was never a Pakistan armed forces which was conflicting me, yet certain elements who branded me as an rivalry to cover up their weaknesses as good as to damp their masters. 

Q : What is 313 Brigade? 

A : we cannot discuss it you, solely quarrel is all plan as good as this is all 313 Brigade is about; celebration of a mass a enemy’s thoughts as good as reacting accordingly. The universe suspicion which Prophet Mohammad usually left women behind. They forgot there were genuine organisation additionally who did not know what better was all about. The universe is usually informed with those supposed Muslims who usually follow a citation of a air as good as who do not have their own will. They do not have their own minds or measure of their own. The universe has nonetheless to see genuine Muslims. They have so distant usually seen Osama as good as Mullah Omar, whilst there have been thousands of others. Wolves usually apply oneself a lion’s iron slap; lions do not stir with a proof of a sheep.  

The Pakistani publisher writes : â??As we remarkable Kashmiri’s answers, we suspicion of how multiform years behind he was a heavenly of a Pakistani armed forces, their pride. The tip troops officers were unapproachable to encounter him during his bottom in Kashmir, they outlayed time with him as good as listened to a legends of his quarrel games. Today, we had a conflicting chairman in front of me – a male cursed as a militant by a Pakistani troops investiture as good as their greatest instruct is his deathâ?. 

Ilyas Kashmiri, according to American comprehension is al-Qaeda’s conduct of troops operations as good as US had claimed his genocide in a new US Predator worker conflict in North Waziristan which after valid wrong.  He invited a Pakistani contributor to a tip hideout in a South Waziristan-Afghanistan limit area, where US Drones continually fly overhead.  This was his initial media information exchnage given he assimilated al-Qaeda in 2005.

The hit began with a call from militants upon Oct 6, mouth-watering a reporter  to a locale of Mir Ali in North Waziristan. The successive day, a reporter  trafficked to Mir Ali. After 7 hours of successive travel, he was perceived by a organisation of armed organisation who put him up in a residence of a internal tribesman. 

“The commander in chief in arch in arch in arch in arch in arch (Kashmiri)  is alive. You know which a commander in chief in arch in arch in arch in arch in arch has never oral to a media before, yet given everyone is certain of his genocide as a outcome of a worker conflict [in September], al-Qaeda’s shura [council] motionless to have a rejection of this headlines by an talk by him to an eccentric newspaper, as good as thus a shura concluded upon you,” Kashmiriâ??s help told a reporter.  The  313 brigade, a pick up of jihadi groups, fought for many years in Kashmir valley.  

The successive day, a contributor was sent to an additional residence during an different location, about 3 hours away. Finally, on  Oct 9 morning, a integrate of armed organisation arrived in a white car.  The contributor was asked to leave all his electronic gadgets here. â??No dungeon phone, no camera, nothing. We will yield we coop as good as paper to write a interview,” he was instructed. After multiform hours of  channel by murky marks as good as by towering passes, they reached a room.  

After a integrate of hours, a absolute car gathering up. The reporterâ??s chaperon as good as a organisation already benefaction in a room fast took up positions. They all wore bullet pouches as good as carried AK-47s. 

Ilyas, 6 feet tall,  done his entrance. He was wearing a cream-colored turban as good as white kameez salwar, carrying an AK-47 upon his shoulder as good as a wooden hang in a single hand, as good as flanked by commandos of his  313 Brigade. He sported a long  white brave painted with henna. At a age of 45 he stays strongly built, he has mislaid an eye as good as an index figure.  

The horde rught away served lunch, as good as everyone sat upon a building to eat.

“So, we have survived a third worker set upon … because is a Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] sniffing around we so much?â?? The contributor asked. 

“They have been right in their pursuit. They know their rivalry well. They know what we am unequivocally up to,” Ilyas proudly replied. 

Ilyas Kashmiri has a Pakistani annuity of  Rs 5 crore (US$600,000) upon his head. Some contend he is commander-in-chief of al-Qaeda’s tellurian operations, whilst others contend he is arch of al-Qaeda’s troops wing. 

His bases as good as activities have continually remained hidden in secrecy. However, a detain of 5 of his organisation in Pakistan progressing this year as good as their successive barbecuing helped lift a veil. Their report resulted in CIA worker strikes conflicting him, a initial in May as good as afterwards again upon Sep 7, when he was conspicuous upheld by Pakistani intelligence, as good as eventually upon Sep 14, after which a CIA conspicuous he was upheld as good as called it a good success in a “war upon terror”. 

“They have been right in their pursuit. They know their rivalry well. They know what we am unequivocally up to,” Ilyas proudly replied. 

Who is Ilyas Kashmiri?

Born in Bimbur (old Mirpur) in a Samhani Valley of  Pak Occupied Kashmir upon Feb 10, 1964, Ilyas upheld a initial year of a mass information exchnage grade during Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad. He did not go upon due to his complicated impasse in jihadi activities. 

Ilyas assimilated a Harkatul Jihadi Islami as good as became commander in chief in arch in arch in arch in arch in arch of HUJI in Kashmir. He worked underneath Amin Rabbani during a Afghan rebellion conflicting a Soviet forces. Later, his  313 Brigade grew in to a many absolute organisation in South Middle East as good as a network is strongly knitted in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Nepal as good as Bangladesh. According to a little CIA dispatches, a footprints of 313 Brigade have been right away in Europe as good as able of a sort of conflict which saw a handful of militants scare a Indian city of Mumbai final November. 

Little is documented of Ilyas’ life, as good as what has been reported is mostly contradictory. However, he is constantly described, positively by universe comprehension agencies, as a many effective, dangerous as good as successful riotous personality in a world. 

He left a Kashmir segment as good as was prisoner by Pakistani ISI in Oct 2005 after which he headed for North Waziristan. He had formerly been arrested by Indian forces, yet he pennyless out of prison as good as escaped. He was afterwards incarcerated by a ISI as a suspected designer of an conflict upon then-president Pervez Musharraf, in 2003, yet was privileged as good as released. The ISI afterwards picked Ilyas up again in 2005 after he refused to tighten down his operations in Kashmir. 

His relocation to a uneasy limit areas sent a chill down spines in Washington as they satisfied which with his immeasurable experience, he could spin unassuming conflict patterns in Afghanistan in to brazen complicated riotous warfare. 

Ilyas’ lane jot down spoke for itself. In 1994, he launched a al-Hadid operation in a Indian capital, New Delhi, to get a little of his comrades released. His organisation of twenty-five people enclosed Sheikh Omar Saeed (the kidnapper of US contributor Daniel Pearl in Karachi in 2002) as his deputy. The organisation abducted multiform foreigners, together with American, Israeli as good as British tourists as good as took them to Ghaziabad nearby Delhi. They afterwards demanded which a Indian authorities recover their colleagues, yet instead military pounded a hideout. Sheikh Omar was harmed as good as arrested. (He was after expelled in a barter for a passengers of IC-184 Indian Airlines aircraft in Kandahar). Ilyas transient unhurt.  

Ilyas claims he was never a partial of Pakistan Army’s special forces, yet Indian officials contend he was continually partial of it. Nearly thirty years ago when he assimilated a Afghan jihad conflicting a Soviets from a height of a HUJI, he grown imagination in riotous crusade as good as explosives. 

Within usually months of nearing in a Afghan quarrel drama in 2005, Kashmiri redefined a Taliban-led rebellion formed upon mythological Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap’s three-pronged riotous crusade strategy. For a Taliban, a categorical importance was to be placed upon slicing NATO’s supply lines from all 4 sides of Afghanistan, as good as carrying out special operations identical to a Mumbai conflict in Afghanistan. 

Over a years, Ilyas has upon purpose adopted a low pass participation in a militants’ hierarchy. His attacks have been usually a opposite, nonetheless he never issues statements or claims shortcoming for any operation. 

His 313 Brigade is believed to be a categorical matter of high-profile operations such as a a single in Mumbai as good as others in Afghanistan, as good as al-Qaeda’s operations in Somalia as good as to a little border in Iraq, his associates claim.
