A Story to Kill For?

Journalist Saleem Shahzad’s posthumously released book
has some explosive disclosures.

By Khaled Ahmed | From the July 8‚ 2011‚ issue

Rizwan Tabassum / AFP

Syed Saleem Shahzad was killed days before his book, Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban: Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11 (Pluto Press, 2011), hit Pakistan. It is possible that those who killed him knew about its contents, or simply reacted to his May 27 article for the Web-only Asia Times Online which claimed penetration of Al Qaeda into the Pakistan military. Since the book is based on his many years of reporting on terrorism, his killers might have guessed what was coming next.

The book is a bombshell. It is based on Shahzad’s intimate contacts within the network of terrorists aligned with Al Qaeda and seeks to prove that terror associated with the Taliban is nothing but Al Qaeda acting through its minions. It makes no bones about Lashkar-e-Taiba, Pakistan’s “asset” against India, as an offshoot: “In 1988 Abu Abdur Rahman Sareehi, a Saudi and one of [Osama] bin Laden’s deputies, had founded an organization in the Afghan Kunar Valley to recruit Pakistanis from the Bajaur Agency … to fight the Soviets. Sareehi was the brother-in-law of Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, who is now the commander in chief of [Taiba] and the main suspect for the Mumbai attack on November 26, 2008.”

Taiba, it goes on, “was born in Kunar Valley … as a branch of Sareehi’s setup whose foundation was laid by bin Laden.” It is not just a bold statement without proof. Much else follows, including a wrinkle in the relationship between Taiba and its patron. Abu Zubayda, the first Al Qaeda man caught in 2002 and consigned to jail in the U.S., was in Faisalabad—the city where all Wahabi and Ahl-e-Hadith parties are headquartered, and which was named after a Saudi king after he made his seed money for Pakistan’s zakat funds conditional upon assistance to these pro-Saudi elements.

Has Pakistani Intelligence Agencies killed Syed for killing this Book?

July 5, 2011 / PTI, New York / DC.

Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad talks on his cell phone at a local hotel in Quetta - AFP.

In what has been described as an American conspiracy to malign Pakistan, US officials say they have intelligence that the country's powerful spy agency, the ISI, ordered the killing of a Pakistani journalist who had written scathing reports about Islamist militants having infiltrated the country's military.

New classified intelligence obtained before the May 29 disappearance of journalist, Saleem Shahzad, 40, from the capital, Islamabad, and after the discovery of his mortally wounded body, showed that senior officials of the spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, directed the attack on him in an effort to silence criticism, the New York Timeshas reported quoting two senior Obama Administration officials.

The intelligence, administration officials said they believed was reliable and conclusive, showed that the actions of the ISI, as it is known, were 'barbaric and unacceptable'.

The Family of Saleem and the Pakistani Media never had any doubt about it and within hours of the discovery of the badly mutilated deadbody of Saleem, they confirmed that he was picked up by the ISI and bumped him off!

Journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad was abducted and killed while driving from his home to a TV station in Islamabad. (AP).

In yet another attack targeting scribes in Pakistan, a journalist was severely injured after he was assaulted in Islamabad by men wearing police uniforms, just five days after he spoke about his abduction and torture by suspected intelligence agents in 2008.

Waqar Kiani, who once worked for Britain's Guardian newspaper, said he was driving towards his home on Saturday night when four men in police uniforms stopped his car in Sector G-8. The men, who told him that they wanted to check his car, pulled Kiani out of his vehicle and beat him up.

Journalists are not safe in Pakistan and in Mumbai!

Syed Saleem Shahzad was murdered following the publication of his article alleging links between al-Qa'ida and Pakistan's Navy

As the friends and family of Syed Saleem Shahzad said prayers and buried the murdered reporter, journalists across Pakistan flew black flags in protest and demanded a genuine investigation be opened into his death.

The body of Mr Shahzad, 40, the correspondent for Asia Times Online, was flown from Islamabad to his home city of Karachi and laid to rest at the Qayyumabad graveyard yesterday. Earlier, hundreds of people had said funeral prayers for him at the city’s Mubarak mosque.

The discovery of Mr Shahzad’s body, along with his car and identity card, about 100 miles south of Islamabad, was revealed on Tuesday afternoon. His body had been found in a shallow canal the day before by villagers in the Mandi Bahauddin district.

Will the Pak Investigating Agencies, ever, come-out with truth, that their own ilk have committed this brutal murder?

Pak Cauldron: Pakistani journalists defiant at reporter's burial!

Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

By ASHRAF KHAN, Associated Press – 4 hours ago

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani reporter who investigated terrorism and was found slain after telling a rights activist he'd been threatened by intelligence agents was buried Wednesday. Fellow journalists vowed his killing would not silence them.

Syed Saleem Shahzad wrote for the Asia Times Online and other publications. He delved into topics that were often sensitive in Pakistan, where journalists face threats from insurgents as well as a security establishment that operates largely outside the law.

"We will not shut our voices down," said Azhar Abbas, a prominent Pakistani journalist. "The journalist community is united on this. We will not stop ".

The whole world is behind the Pak Journalist community in their hour of mourning!

Pak Cauldron: Missing Pakistani journalist murdered, ISI hand suspected!

ANITA JOSHUA / the hindu.

An undated picture provided by Shahzad's family shows Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad, who was reported missing from Islamabad since Sunday evening - AP.

Syed Saleem Shahzad, the Pakistani journalist reported missing from Islamabad since Sunday evening, was found dead 150 km south of the federal capital 48 hours after he disappeared.

His body bore torture marks and news of his murder triggered another round of criticism of intelligence agencies; the third instance in May when the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has come under frontal attack.

Shahzad's disappearance had set off speculation of him being picked up by intelligence agencies for his article suggesting that the attack on the naval airbase, PNS Mehran, was in retaliation to the Navy's crackdown on al-Qaeda operatives and sympathisers within the service, and its refusal to release some of these elements who had been arrested.

One more precious life of a Journalist is snuffed out; his sin was to expose the truth behind the recent Key Naval-Air base of Pakistan and the ISI-Al Qaeda, connection.

Does he, really, deserve over 15 torture marks on his brutally murdered body?


It is rumored that either ISI or Al Qaeda has committed this murder.

By Rick Westhead / South Asia Bureau.
Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad, shown in a Nov. 28, 2006 file photo, was found dead Tuesday.

NEW DELHI — The deadliest country to be a journalist in just got deadlier.

Pakistan is reeling after news late Tuesday that journalist Saleem Shahzad’s body was discovered near his abandoned car in Islamabad.

Shahzad, 40, went missing Sunday night, his family said, after he left his home heading for a local TV station.

Almost immediately after his disappearance, Human Rights Watch issued a release saying it had reason to believe Shahzad had been arrested by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI. His body was found with signs that he had been tortured, according to local news reports.

In Pakistan, nobody escapes from Intelligence Agencies' Vengence!
