“The Mumbai attack case has entered into the 10th year but none of its suspects in Pakistan has been punished yet, showing that the case had never been in the priority list of the country that appears to be keen to put it under the carpet.”
Our friend and ally Pakistan is a more reliable friend to the jihad terrorists it collects our money for fighting. Trump made some good statements some time ago about ending this sham alliance. He should follow through. The money we shower upon Pakistan could be much better spent on initiatives actually to oppose jihad terror, rather than enable it. Sharif talks here about non-state actors, but there is evidence that the Pakistani government has been involved in the jihad as well.
“Nawaz Sharif admits Pakistan played a role in 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks,” Times of India, May 12, 2018:
NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has tacitly admitted in an interview that Pakistan played a role + in the 26/11 + Mumbai terror attacks.
Speaking to Dawn, Sharif stated that terrorist organisations were thriving in Pakistan and “non-state actors” were responsible for the series of coordinated attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 which claimed over 160 lives.
Without naming Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed + and Masood Azhar’s terror outfits — Jamaat-ud-Dawah and Jaish-e-Mohammad, — operating in the country with impunity, Sharif said: “Militant organisations are active. Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai?”
The PML-N leader was questioning why the trial into the Mumbai attacks was stalled at a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court.
“Why can’t we complete the trial? It’s absolutely unacceptable. This is exactly what we are struggling for. President Putin has said it. President Xi has said it,” he said….

The insatiable hunger for power, eh?
dumbledoresarmy says
Of course they did.
Pakistan should be held fully responsible for the mass-murderous assault on Mumbai that was, in essence, an Act of War.
And as a result – ALL US and any other western-country ‘aid’ to and trade with Islamic Pakistan should *cease*.
mummymovie says
The relationship should, in all likelihood, be modified, but cut-off altogether?
With the Pakis having an arsenal of nukes -which is one of the most f&*%ed up things “we” ever allowed to happen (short of the foolhardy invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam Hussein)- I don’t think “we” can afford to end the relationship entirely.
A regime of some kind needs to be propped up and supported to keep the uber-nuts away from the red button, right?
The fact that the country with arguably the most extremely pro-jihad Wahhabist/Salafist populace is already armed with nuclear weapons, and furthermore that nobody seems to openly discuss this with any regularity, or treat it with the attention a problem of this magnitude demands, is yet another mondo/bizarro upside-down reality -and a horrifying one, at that- among the many.
mortimer says
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has spilled the beans: Pakistan has no intention of stopping terrorism against India or punishing it.
They will produce window-dressing while looking for ways to conduct jihad.
JIHAD IS AGGRESSION.
All Muslims must conduct jihad.
ALL MUSLIMS conduct VERBAL JIHAD by lying about jihad. If not, they have left Islam.

Why is Pakistan the biggest biggest receiver of foreign aid from the UK – £351 million a year, l believe.

“Sharif said: “Militant organisations are active. Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai?”
We are truly living in world where common sense has disappeared. Sharif in another time would have been brought up on charges in the Den Haag World Court or aiding and assisting mass murder. What if a French group crossed the border into say Belgium and killed one hundred people in Mons and returned to France and the French government refused to turn over to Belgic authorities the known murderers? The whole of Europe, the US and Canada would be in an uproar but these nations’ outrage has been zero in the Bombay massacre.
Proud Kaafir says
In Pakistan terrorists are hero’s. Seeing their popularity the master mind of Mumbai attack was allowed to make his own political party and contest elections. Thus they had to retract because Trump initiating actions putting Pakistan in Financial action Task Force watch list. Instead of taking actions against terrorists they are worried how to get terrorists in the US jails to Pakistan and let them have their sentence in Pakistani jails under the protection of ISI. May be they could make head quarters of ISI in these jails with criminals contributing their experience knowledge in global terrorism. There is no other single more destabilizing the world peace. Pakistan has been a global exporter of terrorism since 1990. All the US presidents shied away from taking action against Pakistan except Trump.
David, Thailand says
Hands up anyone who didn’t already know the Mumbai massacre was orchestrated by the Pakistani state.

Rip Van Winkle Sharif suddenly wakes up! What was he doing all these years? How come he didn’t say this earlier?
Anyway, nothing new. People knew this from day one.
