When The Bomb Goes off !

After a slight unrest in the morning the city had finally started to get back to its usual pace, i was on the road in a cab when a phone call from my home announced the news of two blasts, one after another at the Shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi (R.A) and I automatically switched into a panic mode, My first reaction was to inform all friends and family to reach home or stay safe. Within an hour of the news the whole city had started to shut off, shops being closed , fuel stations being barricaded, cars rushing in total panic.

An hour later i was home, i was anxious to get the latest news, the fear that the death toll may have been very high was getting on my nerves, but as soon as i was about to reach the TV remote my mom warned “Jamal don’t ! ” her eyes were red from crying ” The footage is unbearable “.  That is exactly what happens each time there is a bomb blast in the country. The news channels blast out television screens with explicit, graphic insensitive imagery. Parts of human body drenched in blood, a head in a policeman’s hand as if its a trophy that you just got to find the culprit and yes any heads found must immediately belong to the suicide bomber and must be shown on all news channels. Yes I knew the news on TV would be all wrapped in imagery that would give any sane person nightmares for ages but i needed the news so the demon’s idiot box had to be turned on.

Ten people dead over 80 injured, mostly women and children and a missing child too and yes the two trophies were also found, the head of the suicide bomber which i am very sure will soon turn out to have belonged to an innocent victim because that is what usually happen to most of the  found heads at a bomb site. But the ordeal of the day doesn’t end here, a news channel announces that educational institutes will remain closed for the following day, after which the educational ministry announces that schools will remain open. The two conflicting statements caused more confusion and calls from close family members started coming to me to confirm if the schools and their universities will remain closed or open sadly i was as clueless as they were because some privet schools had called parents telling them that their institution will actually remain closed. The only advice i gave them was to keep their kids home, and let them skip a day just to be on the safe side.

Most news channels are now showing our politicians either blaming it all on the inability of the other or pretending to be an expert in everything and knowing all in the world or just lamely being them selves.

The city on the other hand is again in a grip of some unrest and violence dotting tomorrows date with uncertainties, no one knows what the three day mourning announced would bring to the people of city the coming day and since it is Friday tomorrow most protests and the expected unrest would likely be after the Friday prayers in the afternoon.

but who knows what tomorrow morning brings for us  while we grief the innocent lives that were lost, we cant even imagine the pain and trauma their family are going through right now and also of those 80 people who are injured and being treated at the moment. will the three day mourning, burning tires, violent protests, pelting stones at moving cars and setting them ablaze help ? I really doubt it would !

    For Saudi Arabian fans, Saud Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Al Saud, the grandson of the billionaire king of Saudi Arabia caught in London for killing his GAY lover, red handed then he lied to the Police, unlucky for him everything was recorded on CCTV!

    Why do people love Saudi Royals!!!???

    A Saudi prince beat his man­servant lover to death in a ‘ferocious’ sexually motivated attack at an exclusive London hotel, the Old ­Bailey heard yesterday.
    Saud Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Al Saud, the grandson of the billionaire king of Saudi Arabia, murdered Bandar Abdulaziz after subjecting him to weeks of physical and sexual abuse, the jury was told.

    The royal allegedly downed champagne and six Sex on the Beach cocktails before repeatedly punching his 32-year-old aide in the head, knocking out teeth and leaving him with severe brain injuries in the suite they shared at the five-star Landmark Hotel in Marylebone.
    He also strangled Mr Abdulaziz with such force that he fractured bones in the ­servant’s neck and bit him on both cheeks in way that clearly had a ‘sexual connotation’, the court heard.
    Al Saud, 34, allegedly tried to ‘cover his tracks’ by cleaning up blood from the attack before raising the alarm. He was said to have at first told police Mr Abdulaziz had suffered the injuries in a robbery.

    The prince later changed his story and admitted killing his servant, but he denies murder and one count of grievous bodily harm with intent.

    The pair arrived in London in December last year for the final leg of an extended world holiday. They had visited Prague, Milan, Marrakesh and the Maldives, apparently using the Spartacus International Gay Guide as a travel planner.

    Al Saud enjoyed a party lifestyle in the capital, rising late and spending the afternoons shopping before eating out and going to nightclubs until the early hours.
    He was spotted flirting with barmen and used male prostitutes at least twice during his stay, the jury was told.

    Mr Laidlaw said: ‘What is also ­evident from the victim’s behaviour is that he had become by this point almost entirely submissive.

    ‘He could not or did not at any stage offer any sort of resistance, attempt to fight back or even to raise his hand to the defendant.’
    The attack left Mr Abdulaziz’s ear three times its normal size and requiring reconstructive surgery.

    On February 14, the night of the alleged murder, the pair went for a Valentine’s meal before returning to their hotel just before midnight.

    The following afternoon Al Saud called a contact at the Saudi Embassy, who arrived at the room to find him ‘very upset and crying’ beside his lifeless servant.
    Police experts found forensic evidence from Al Saud on Mr Abdulaziz’s underwear. Despite this, the prince continued to deny he was gay.
    But Mr Laidlaw said: ‘The evidence establishes quite conclusively that he is either gay or that he has homosexual tendencies.

    ‘There is clear evidence, over and above the bite marks, that there was also a sexual element to his mistreatment of the victim.’

    A search of the prince’s laptop revealed he looked at gay massage and escort agency websites, jurors were told.

    Al Saud’s mother is the daughter of King Abdullah. His father, Prince Abdulaziz, who is the nephew of the king, watched from the public gallery as his shaven-headed son sat in the dock following proceedings through an Arabic interpreter.

    Join the dots: Saudi connection

    Siddique Khan (London 7/7 bomber) was well known to the CIA and MI6.

    ‘Shoe bomber’ Richard Reid, ‘9/11 plotter’ Zacarias Moussaoui and two of the alleged London Tube Bombers were followers of Trevor Forrest.

    Mohammad Sidique Khan is said to be responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombings.

    According to Ron Suskind’s The One Percent Doctrine, America’s National Security Agency monitored Khan’s phone calls and emails.

    Khan may well have been one of those many Moslems who worked for MI6 and its friends.

    In 1999 Khan came under the influence of Trevor William Forrest.

    Forrest was born into an evangelical Christian family in Jamaica.

    But, Forrest may have come under the influence of Saudi intelligence, which has worked closely with the CIA and its friends.

    Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former classmate of Bill Clinton, worked with the CIA in funding Moslem extremists. (Turki bin Faisal Al Saud – Wikipedia)

    When Bin Laden was in an American hospital, he was reportedly visited by the CIA and by Prince Turki al Faisal, then head of Saudi intelligence (CIA agent alleged to have met Bin Laden in July.)

    Forrest calls himself Abdullah el-Faisal.[2]

    In 1981 Forrest went to Trinidad on a Saudi Arabian government-sponsored course, in which he was taught the skills of being an imam.

    He later moved to Saudi Arabia and then the UK.

    In 1991, he became the imam at the Brixton Mosque in South London.

    In 1993, he was ejected by Brixton Mosque’s Salafi administration who objected to his radical preaching.

    Forrest was an associate of Abu Hamza al-Masri, the Egyptian ousted from the Finsbury Park mosque.

    Abu Hamza is suspected of being an asset of MI6 and its friends. (Why did it take so long to bring Abu Hamza to trial?)

    Forrest was reportedly a supporter of Osama bin Laden, A.K.A. CIA Asset “Tim Osman”, and has been linked to al-Qaeda members.

    In March 2003, Forrest was sentenced to nine years in prison.

    He was released from prison in 2007 and is now a free man.

    Saudi prince Apney anjam ko pohncha. Saudi Royal family, the most corrupt family in the world & expoter & sponsor of Wahabis/ Talaban/ Jamati/ other terrorist activites with assistance from CIA/ Mossad, they should not be allowed in Pakistan.

    “A gay Saudi prince is facing a life sentence after being convicted of beating and strangling his servant to death at the culmination of a campaign of “sadistic” abuse.

    Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud, a grandson of the billionaire king of Saudi Arabia, was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Bandar Abdulaziz at their five-star hotel suite in central London.

    The 34-year-old prince had been drinking champagne and sex on the beach cocktails when he bit the 32-year-old hard on both cheeks during the attack in February. They had just returned from a Valentine’s night out.

    Saud initially believed he had diplomatic immunity, but his status as a Saudi royal could not save him from prosecution.

    The prince was found guilty of murder today after an hour and 35 minutes of jury deliberation. He showed no reaction as the decision was announced.

    The verdict will mean a lengthy jail term for the prince and an end to his playboy lifestyle, funded by his wealthy family, in which he dined in fine restaurants and secretly entertained gay escorts in his plush hotel room.

    Saud’s lawyers failed in a last-ditch attempt to stop details of his encounters with male escorts being revealed during the trial. In a sign of the anxiety about his sexuality becoming public, the prince’s lawyers had initially argued that the legal argument about the escorts should be held behind closed doors.

    John Kelsey-Fry QC, defending, said Saud had already faced abuse from Islamic fundamentalists being held alongside him at Belmarsh prison. The court heard that homosexuality remains a capital offence in Saudi Arabia, and the country in which the acts take place has little relevance to prosecution under the country’s sharia law.

    Kelsey-Fry unsuccessfully argued before the trial started that evidence of the gay relationship should not be put before the jury, claiming it was not “probative” of the murder allegations.”

  38. Irz'Kia'Hey (unregistered) on October 21st, 2010 @ 1:19 pm

    as we discuss Arabs & confusion, I always have major disagreements about whole “Afghan Jihad” operation it never wasn’t our war, it was USA designed & financed, they got corrupt Saudi involved & stuck Jihad label on it, bribed pakistani Generals & politicans & it became all legal, but in reality it was the dirtiest black op of modern history. Never forget that we are still paying the price, heroin, illegal weopons, law & order situation & suicide bombers all leads to that war.

    Here is an interesting piece:

    Reporting in “Covert Action: The Afghan Pipeline,” Steve Galster revealed the hypocrisy of the US propaganda campaign:

    “Widespread corruption also exists among the [Afghan] rebel leaders but has gone practically unnoticed in the United States thanks to CIA propaganda. The same kinds of things that tarnished the Contras’ image, such as killing civilians, drug smuggling and embezzlement are practiced by many Afghan rebels. Taking no prisoners, assassinating suspected government collaborators, destroying government-built schools and hospitals, killing ‘unpious’ civilians are just a few of the inhumane acts they have carried out. But the picture we receive of the rebels in the United States is of an uncorrupt, popular group of freedom-loving people who aspire toward a democratic society.”

    In “Jihad International Inc.,” Eqbal Ahmad further exposed the propaganda effort:

    “They also invested in this Jihad the legitimacy of their enormous power, and the luster of their media-made glory. On one especially memorable occasion when Afghanistan’s hard-line Islamists visited the White House, President Ronald Reagan described them as the Muslim world’s ‘moral equivalent of our founding fathers.’ Similarly, the American and European media played up the war in Afghanistan as the greatest story of the eighties. Foreign correspondents combed the Hindu Kush for stories of ‘Mooj’ heroism. Competition for Jihad narrative was so great that in one instance a major network, CBS, paid handsomely to film a staged battle between Islam and Communism. As the western media carries great importance and authority in the third world, its Afghanistan war coverage made an enormous impact, especially on Muslim youth.”

    As bin Laden himself would later say in his 1997 interview with CNN, “I have benefited so greatly from the Jihad in Afghanistan that it would have been impossible for me to gain such benefit from any other chance…”

    Thanks to CIA funding and weapons, delivered through BCCI’s “black network” with the help of Pakistan’s intelligence service the ISI, bin Laden and al Qaeda were off and running. In 1992, just after BCCI had been shut down in a global sweep, the Afghan-Soviet war finally came to an end. The war resulted in the death of 1.3 million Afghans, three million were disabled, and 5.5 million became refugees – in total, about half the population.

  39. Irz'Kia'Hey (unregistered) on October 21st, 2010 @ 1:20 pm

    continued from above:

    When BCCI was shut down, most of its major players were allowed to walk away without being held accountable, due to the fact that BCCI was deeply entwined within the upper echelons of US intelligence. Elements of BCCI would then evolve into al Qaeda, as the Washington Post revealed in 2002:

    “William F. Wechsler, who monitored bin Laden’s finances at the National Security Council during the last two years of the Clinton administration, told Congress in September that bin Laden initially rose to prominence for building ‘a financial architecture that supported the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan against the Russians.’

    ‘It’s this financial architecture that continued with him when he turned to terrorism, and it’s this financial architecture that is at the heart of how al Qaeda today gets its finances,’ he said.

    Much of that architecture, according to French, Pakistani and American investigators, is modeled on the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI)…. In the 1980s it was used to launder drug money, harbor terrorist funds and buy illegal weapons. Its collapse in 1991 was a major global financial scandal.

    The CIA used BCCI to funnel millions of dollars to the fighters battling the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Bin Laden had accounts in the bank, U.S. officials said….

    The BCCI Model

    A 70-page French intelligence report, prepared for Parliament in October and obtained by The Washington Post, outlined some details of this network. ‘The financial network of bin Laden, as well as his network of investments, is similar to the network put in place in the 1980s by BCCI for its fraudulent operations, often with the same people (former directors and cadres of the bank and its affiliates, arms merchants oil merchants, Saudi investors),’ the report said. ‘The dominant trait of bin Laden’s operations is that of a terrorist network backed up by a vast financial structure.’

    A senior U.S. investigator said U.S. agencies were looking into these ties because ‘they just make so much sense, and so few people from BCCI ever went to jail. BCCI was the mother and father of terrorist financing operations.’

    The report identifies dozens of companies and individuals who were involved with BCCI and were found to be dealing with bin Laden after the bank collapsed. Many went on to work in banks and charities identified by the United States and others as supporting al Qaeda.”

    BCCI’s Chief Operations Officer and the man the US Senate Intelligence Committee considered to be “the most powerful banker in the Middle East,” Khalid bin Mahfouz, was let off with a fine and would become a major al Qaeda funder.

    As the Washington Post report continued:

    “The French report highlighted the role of Saudi banker Khalid bin Mahfouz, a former director of BCCI, whose sister is married to bin Laden. In 1995 bin Mahfouz paid a $225 million fine in a settlement with U.S. prosecutors for his role in the BCCI scandal and went on to serve as director of the National Commercial Bank, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest….

    Saudi officials, at the urging of the United States, audited his bank and found that millions of dollars were being funneled through the bank to charities controlled by bin Laden, U.S. officials and the French document said…. U.S. intelligence officials said Washington pushed for the audit of bin Mahfouz’s bank but was never allowed to question him.

    Saudi officials ‘weren’t willing to let us talk to him,’ said one U.S. source with direct knowledge of events, ‘and we asked at a very senior level.’”

    One vital point that most of the US mainstream media obscured when revealing bin Mahfouz as a key al Qaeda funder was his heavy ongoing involvement with top US officials and oil companies throughout BCCI’s reign and after the bank’s collapse. One of the few outlets to pick up on this was the Boston Herald, who reported in December, 2001:

    “Two billionaire Saudi families scrutinized by authorities for possible financial ties to Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network continue to engage in major oil deals with leading U.S. corporations.

    The bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi clans, who control three private Saudi Arabian oil companies, are partners with U. S. firms in a series of ambitious oil development and pipeline projects in central and south Asia, records show.

    Working through their companies – Delta Oil, Nimir Petroleum and Corral Petroleum – the Saudi families have formed international consortiums with U. S. oil giants Texaco, Unocal, Amerada Hess and Frontera Resources.

    These business relationships persist despite evidence that members of the two Saudi families – headed by patriarchs Khalid bin Mahfouz and Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi – have had ties to Islamic charities and companies linked financially to bin Laden’s al-Qaeda organization. So far, bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi… have been left untouched by the U. S. Treasury Department, which has frozen the assets of 150 individuals, companies and charities suspected of financing terrorism….”
