Pak journalist receives life threats

ISLAMABAD – The US presence in Peshawar is being felt in a most aggressive manner, especially in the form of harassment and actual threats given to the journalists writing critically against the US and its covert operatives.
One such journalist, referred as S.F.A. Shah because he now fears for his life, who first broke the story of the presence of Blackwater (now Xe Worldwide) in Peshawar along with Creative Associates International Inc (CAII), has literally been hounded out of his home.
He had published names of the investigation and operational heads of the notorious agency and unmasked the nexus of BW, FBI and CIA. He had also investigated the activities of the US Consulate in Peshawar including details of their activities, phone numbers and the dozens of houses rented in lavish localities for the purpose of torturing, kidnapping, detention and so on.
He in an exclusive chat with TheNation from his present hiding place explained how the CIA first tried to recruit him into spying on some Imams of mosques through their man Stephen Cash who used to investigate Afghan refugees and some Pakistanis in the NWFP. On his reports, people were picked up including Afghan refugees under the supervision of another operative, Cooper. Even Pakistani authorities were unaware about those ‘kidnappings’. After spending two years in Peshawar, Cash left just two months ago and was replaced with an operative named Roderick.
