By BRASSTACKS & PakistanKaKhudaHafiz.com Sunday, 9 August 2009.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—The drone strike that resulted in the death of Pakistan’s most wanted terrorist is believed to be a result of deliberately planted false intelligence, sources in South Waziristan have confirmed, according to a report published by the Pakistani news website PKKH.
PKKH reported that rival militants close to Qari Zainullah Mehsud tipped off suspected local CIA informers about the presence of a ‘high value afghan Taliban target’ in a house in South Waziristan.
Qari Zainuddin, a former aide of Baitullah Mehsud, accused Baitullah Mehsud in June of waging terrorism against Pakistan with help from foreign intelligence operatives belonging to India, Israel and the United States. Zainuddin was gunned down in his office the next day and Baitullah Mehsud claimed responsibility for the killing.
Pakistani officials have privately accused elements within the Central Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan of supporting the so-called Pakistani Taliban as punishment for Pakistan's perceived support for the Afghan Taliban.
In what appears to be a successful attempt to extract revenge by those loyal to Qari Zainuddin, false intelligence was deliberately fed to a number of local informers working for the Americans in Afghanistan. Hours later, a CIA operated drone guided by a physically dropped electronic homing device attacked and destroyed the house which the Americans believed was occupied by what they thought was anti-US Afghan Taliban.
Various reports have also surfaced in recent months disclosing the extent of support Baitullah Mehsud received from India and Israel, using Afghanistan as a base for training and arming anti-Pakistan terrorists. US army and NATO issued rifles and communication equipment has been seized from captured militants and TTP safe houses, and captured terrorists have often spoken of training by Indian nationals in Afghanistan.
The Americans were concentrating on Taliban and Qaeda forces that attack American and coalition troops in Afghanistan but were ignoring militants operating in Pakistan, a senior Pakistani official in the administration that oversees the tribal region told TIME Magazine last year.
“The Americans are not interested in our bad guys,” the official said, referring in particular to Baitullah Mehsud.
Other sources within the Pakistani intelligence community firmly believe that Baitullah Mehsud was being protected by US Drones, warning him of Pakistan Army’s action and movements in advance.
It appears the Americans have finally heeded to the long-standing demand of the Pakistani security services, even if unintentionally.
