This is the very straightforward talk from Ijaz. Cetainly seems no doubt in his mind about the camps and the support from the Pakistani establishment.

[My Identity]

Kasmir is seen as a Jihad

The dilemma for Gen Musharraf is that many of his army officers [in spite of large-scale purges] are still deeply sympathetic to the militants and the Kashmir cause ... The [Pakistan] army believes in the moral justice and diplomatic necessity of the Kashmir war... Khalid Khawaja, a retired ISI officer, [spoke] in chilling tones: "We have done the worst possible thing. We have been responsible for the miseries of our brothers and sisters because we didn't believe in God but we believed in Bush and Blair." ... The fight in Kashmir [is seen] as a legitimate jihad.

Musharraf is Ignored

It is clear Musharraf's promises are not being kept. Most of the militants [previously jailed] have been released without charge, among them the heads of groups listed as terrorist organisations by Britain and the US. Pakistan has allowed militants backed by its own intelligence agency to continue their war in Kashmir even though it threatens to plunge India and Pakistan into a devastating conflict.

Terrorists Still Active

Pakistani militants are still openly raising funds and training young fighters to cross into Kashmir to fight the Indian army. The ISI's Kashmir cell issues money and directions to militant groups. "Every jihadi has links with ISI," said a military source.

Terrorists Seek War, Nukes

Al Qaeda is moving its most battle-hardened warriors into Kashmir to provoke war with India in the hope of obtaining Pakistan's nuclear weapons in the ensuing bedlam.

Paki Military may be Nuts

I told Aman that I was disturbed by the ease with which Pakistanis talk of nuclear war with India. Aman [formerly chief of Paki military intelligence in Sind Province] shook his head. "No," he said matter-of-factly. "This should happen. We should use the bomb. ... We should fire at them and take out a few of their cities - Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta," he said. "They should fire back and take Karachi and Lahore. Kill off a hundred or two hundred million people. They should fire at us and it would all be over. ... We should teach them a lesson. It would teach all of us a lesson. There is no future here...My children have no future. None of the children of Pakistan have a future. We are surrounded by nothing but war and suffering. Millions should die away."
