Bagram detainees may be used against Pakistan

ISLAMABAD Detained militants in Afghanistans Bagram prison would be 'utilised against Pakistan in the coming days in the wake of 'resurrection of ever growing Indian presence in Afghanistan. All the pertinent developments this week in the backdrop of 'resurrection of Indian camps in Afghanistan well decipher that the powerful Indian camp in Afghanistan has made all the arrangements with the patronage of US to marginalize Pakistans role in the country. According to details received from Afghanistan based sources, a credible Indian diplomatic delegation had held intensive meetings with NATOs top brass earlier this week to 'negotiate about the future of Bagram detainees. Three other important meetings of Indian diplomats with Nato commanders have reportedly taken place this week. As result of these 'deliberations, the 'potential militants detained in Bagram have been 'selected to divulge all the presumably fabricated details that would certainly not bode well with Pakistan. These informed circles see the US reluctance in granting access to Pakistani investigators to interrogate David Coleman Headley, a Mumbai attacks suspect, as a move strongly inter-linked to it. The ever-rising tide of Indo-US collusion in Afghanistan had somehow slowed down followed by Jundullahs Chief Abdol Malek Rigis arrest earlier this year when the presence of Indian sponsored militant camps with the support of the US had hit the media. As part of the revived Indo-US strategy in Afghanistan, the focus is to ridicule the presence of all the 'hostile elements that oppose the stealthy visits of banned militants in Afghanistan, to make covert deals with Indians and NATO sponsored camps. Given these obvious reasons, the role of the United Nations in Afghanistan as well as credible international observers that oppose the presence of terror elements and favour dialogue solely with Afghan Taliban had been virtually sidelined. UN-based diplomats say that they were completely kept in dark regarding the recent Indo-US collusions. It is pertinent to recall that restless Indian camp had started taking counter moves after the London Moot on Afghanistan had encouraged the involvement of Afghanistans immediate neighbours in the redressal of the countrys crises thus creating space for Pakistans influence. The extensive Congressional hearings in last March conducted by the Congress sub-committee on Foreign Affairs headed by India-backed Senator Gary Ackerman against 'LeTs growing ambitions in Pakistan continued for over a month. These proceedings only slammed Pakistans role in what they termed as sponsoring terrorism but did not utter a word about Indian camps in Afghanistan.
