Mumabi Terror Attack Convict Headley: ISI-LeT Spy?

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 12:11 AM PST

David Coleman Headley the main accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack was, according to recent reports an ISI-LeT spy.The propublica.org has revealed in their report that the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency was playing a double game with the US as well as India and had hired Headley as a spy for them.

The ongoing investigations regarding the the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks have come to the conclusion that the terror attack was the jointly collaborated plan of the Pakistani ISI & the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group.About 166 people including many US & Israeli citizens, fell victim to this terror plot in 2008.

According to the website of Propublica, both the nations have a detailed report running over 119 pages,on how Headley was sent to India as a spy to find targets mostly US & Israeli citizens in Mumbai and other cities.He was given money and proper training by the ISI before being sent here.

As per the reports of the Indian interrogation a Pakistani Navy frogman was accomplice to the maritime attack on the commercial capital of India.Reports have also revealed that Headley’s Pakistani intelligence handler was mediating a decision to help the LeT in a erstwhile unheard of plot to attack a Danish newspaper as well.

ironically as the ISI was busy plotting with the Lashkar-e-Toiba to massacre the Jews & Americans, the other side of the intelligence unit was also putting up a front of helping the US curb terrorist activities.

ISI was doing it’s pseudo job of helping the CIA & US military in their anti-terrorist activities. Even the President Asif Ali Zardari had shown solidarity with the Americans saying they will help weed out all acts terrorism from Pakistan as well as Afghanistan.

Pakistan meanwhile denies all links to the terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba & Pakistani officials have refuted the allegations calling them an ‘Indianised’ version of events targeted to defame Pakistan. An unnamed official said-

“It is a stereotype, a Pakistan-specific version of an Indian interrogation.The Indian version is totally distorted and fabricated as there was no involvement of the ISI whatsoever. Nor did any serving official interact with Headley or any of the perpetrators.”

But whether Pakistani officials are willing to accept it or not, the US is ready to believe Headley’s confessions especially regarding the foul play by ISI.

There is reason enough for them to believe that the main handler of Headley who goes simply by the name of Major Iqbal could be an ISI officer. Meanwhile it’s alleged that the LeT is still intent on its purpose to attack the West.

US authorities are trying their level best to rein in this terrorist outfit.The US government headed by Obama is specially unhappy with the things are turning out. Hopefully the evidence supplied by Headley would be put to good use and there wouldn’t be another instance of 26/11.

IBNS Website:The Latest Site To Be Hacked By Pakistan

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 10:15 PM PST

Hacking seems to be the buzz word of the times.And the ‘sister’ nations India & Pakistan seem to have started a cyber war of sorts.The latest website to be hacked by the Pakistani hackers is the India Blooms News Service (IBNS) website.

On Sunday Jan02,2011 the website www.indiablooms.com was hacked and the users were redirected to another web page.The page showed the picture of a rather gothic type of girl with a message from the hackers written underneath in green coloured font.

The Pakistani hackers had written -”Pakistani Hackers- Your site has been Hacked”.Further the message read-”There was no security on your site, relax admin, nothing was deleted, is this what you call a security?”

The hack occurred at about 3:30pm IST.The hackers had even proudly left behind their url-www.pakbugs.com on the redirected page.

The site was soon restored by the IBNS admins but then there is always a possibility of a new attack.This time there wasn’t any damage as such but that might not be the case next time.The site is hosted by Servage, a popular German hosting company that has 189837 websites to its credit.

However the site’s lack of proper security would serve as its liability in future. A partner of India Blooms, Mr.S Dhar said that the website of IBNS has received good viewership count in Pakistan.

Owing to its popularity in the country it might have been made a target by the Pakistani hackers.Earlier such cyber attacks have been made on Indian sites including that of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on December 3 last year.

The warfare had begun with Indian Cyber Army attacking Pakistani sites and then the alleged Pakistani Cyber Army’s retaliation.

On the international front too hacking seems to be the way to seek revenge.With the Wikileaks supporters hacking the sites of the popular PayPal & Mastercard websites, hacking has gained immense popularity.

Many wouldn’t know that the father of the WWW revolution, Tim Berners-Lee was himself a hacker.While some like the Indian hacker Anklit Fadia, use their knowledge for benefiting people,others stick to unethical hacking activities that damage & disrupt the workings in many websites.
