Musharraf has a trump card

Pakistan on the spot over Iran nuclear secrets

Reverberations continue from the attack by a US Predator drone on the village of Damadola in Pakistan's Bajur tribal area last week. The raid was designed to root out al-Qaeda operatives believed to be in the area, but larger forces are at play.

-snip-

President Shaukat Aziz, on a visit to the United States, has categorically denied on US television that Pakistan was told in advance of the raid, and also rejected US claims that a few senior al-Qaeda figures died in the attack. However, Asia Times Online has reported that Islamabad definitely knew of the attack (see Pakistan's misplaced ire over US misfire, January 18).

-snip-

According to the former director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), retired Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul, Washington wants Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear-weapons program, to provide the smoking gun it needs to prove that Iran has a clandestine nuclear-weapons program. Khan, under virtual house arrest in Pakistan, has confessed to nuclear-proliferation activities, including dealings with Iran. Pakistan refuses any access to him.

--------------------------------------

the long article ends with:

To me, Shaukat Aziz' US visit, given the current situation, is of significance and we will have to see what secret message he brings back with him," Gul said.

1. Khan works for the BFEE and will say whatever is is needed for the agenda.
Khan was FINANCED through the BFEE's dealings with BCCI.

2. A shame people don't put this stuff together, donsu.
It's not as complex as it first sounds, but they tend to shy away. Even when everything happening today with the global fascist agenda is rooted in these stories.
