Flawed CIA intelligence


A report has been presented to the president of Pakistan that recent attacks inside Pakistani territory by US drone were caused by flawed CIA intelligence. There was not any high value target present in the areas were attacks were carried out.


I have never been able to understand the term “high value targets”. Pakistan apprehended hundreds of high value targets and handed them over to United States. Each high value target that is killed or arrested is termed number two to Osama bin Laden. I wonder how many high value targets and number twos are there in Al Qaeda and Taliban.


By the way CIA intelligence is always flawed. The purposely cook up story to achieve their purpose. They had to attack Iraq and they spinned a story about present of chemical and biological weapons. None was found despite the fact that thousands have been killed for nothing.

Faltering economy and Bomb blasts

Pakistan is an unfortunate country. It is faced with difficult times. It has always been faced with difficult times. I have been hearing since my childhood that the country is passing through difficult times. Pakistan came to prominence after the 9/11 attack in the United States as the front line ally in the war againt terror. When I say that it is an unfortunate country I mean that despite being the front line ally and doing all it can, making all sorts of sacrifices, it is being accused of harboring Taliban and Al Qaeda elements. It is alleged that there are safe havens inside Pakistan along the Afghanistan border where Taliban and Al Qaeda are taking positions.

There have been a number of suicide bomb attacks in the country in which hundreds of people of lost their lives. Suicide attacks were an unknown phenomenon in Pakistan before the bloody war on terror. It has now become common. Suicide attacks are increasing day by day.

As a result of the deteriorating law and order situations and political uncertainty, the economy of the country, which has gained some stability during the past eight years, is in really bad shape. The foreign reserves of the country are depleting by each passing day. The current account deficit is increasing. Pakistani rupee has shee considerable value against dollar during the past six months.

Now there has been another deadly attack in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The target was the Marriott hotel which is frequented by foreigners in the city. The blast has destroyed the building of the hotel completely. It is being said that at least 1000 kg explosive material was used to carry out the attack. It is feared that death toll may reach 100. Hundreds have been injured.

Pakistan has to pay a heavy price for each bomb attack. The foreign investors are not coming in the country and the local investors are taking their investment out of the country. I wonder what would happen in the coming days.

The sad thing is this that our leaders do not seem to be perturbed. They are busy in the murky power game. May God help Pakistan

Bomb blast at Marriott Hotel Islamabad


The building of Marriott Hotel in Islamabad has once again been rocked by powerful bomb explosions. At the time of writing of this post the building of the hotel is engulfed in flames and at least forty people have been killed and another one hundred injured.

It is said that two trucks with large quantity of explosive materials were used in the attack.  The explosion was so severe that its report was heard throughout Islamabad.

The explosion is a clear reminder of the fact that Pakistan is in the grip of Taliban and militants who can strike at their will. The hotel building was located in high security zone but this did not deter the militants to carry out their nefarious design.

I think that the government of Pakistan must formulate a clear cut policy against militants and start a ruthless operation against them. The half hearted approach so far has only compounded the problem.

Update: At least 40 people have been killed in the deadly suicide bomb attack at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad. The figure can go up. The building is still in fire and it is feared that it may collapse.

Pakistani Rupee hits record low

Pakistani rupee touched new record low against dollar because of weak economic fundamentals and global financial crisis. The rupee was traded at 78.15 rupees to the dollar. Another factor which is causing pressure on rupee is the shortage of dollar from market due to swap operations of the State Bank of Pakistan. The central bank has been buying dollars from the market with a commitment to sell them back in future.

The rupee has shed 21 percent this year largely because of poor management and deteriorating balance of payments positions. I do not see any improvement in this situation in the near future because of apathetic attitude of the government which does not seem to be concerned at all. It is only taking back subsidies on essential items in order to cover losses. This decision has made life miserable for ordinary Pakistanis.
