Terrorist War: Pakistan is Part of the Problem, Not the Solution

Pakistan is reportedly agreeing to US demands for cooperation in striking against Afghanistan’s terrorist centers. However, any action that leaves

intact Pakistan’s terrorist infrastructure would be myopic at best and disastrous in the long run. Pakistani terrorist groups collaborate closely with

Bin Laden’s Al Qaida network. The Taliban itself is a creation of Pakistani madrassas, and has been sustained by Pakistani military and financial support.

Pakistan is one of the world’s leading terrorist sponsors, with over a dozen active Islamic terrorist groups. Most of these groups target the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, but many also operate in numerous Islamic hotspots from Bosnia to the Philippines. Groups such as the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen have long threatened the United States and have stood by Bin Laden in his escalating anti-west war over the last several years.

Pakistani intelligence agencies have coordinated activities of these groups in Jammu and Kashmir, in Afghanistan itself, and elsewhere. Tens of thousands of people have died, and 350,000 Hindus driven out of their homeland, in the violent targeting of Jammu and Kashmir over the last 12 years.

These groups hijacked an Indian Airlines jet in 1999 that resulted in freedom for three top terrorist leaders who are now operating from bases in Pakistan. Thus if these terrorist groups and their 1200 training camps in Pakistan are not dismantled as part of the war against global terrorism, Pakistan will continue to be the problem, not a solution to this war.
