PAK AGENCIES GAVE IMRAN ENOUGH ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE ON JAISH

One intelligence report has the district-wise information of the cadre of the Jamat ud Dawa, Jaish e Mohammed and five other terrorist organisations, with their names and addresses.

One thousand pages of reports prepared by Pakistani intelligence officers and accessed by this reporter show that Imran Khan’s government knows everything about the terrorist organisations operating from Pakistani soil, specifically the Jaish e Mohammed and about the destructive role played by them in terror operations in the region, including in India. These reports have been prepared by Pakistani intelligence officers on the Jaish and the Jamat-ud-dawa (JUD), as well as on Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed and several other terrorist commanders. These documents cover two years, 2017 and 2018. After the Pulwama terror strike was carried out by the Pakistan-based Jaish on 14 February, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan not only denied that Pakistani soil was being used to carry out terrorist attacks, he also asked India to provide “actionable evidence” on the Jaish. And this in spite of having all the information with him of the terrorist infrastructure present on his country’s soil and the activities being carried out by these terror organisations— information gathered by his own intelligence officers. All the intelligence reports accessed by this reporter come on official letterheads and have names and signatures of officers who have submitted these reports.

Some of these documents form part of the dossiers that the Indian government has submitted to the Pakistan government on the Pulwama attack. Some excerpts from these documents related to Jaish have been given to ambassadors and high commissioners of the P5 and SAARC countries.

The Facebook page has even region-specific phone numbers which the youth can call to join Jaish’s jihadi network.

The Jaish also runs two separate Facebook pages, Markaz Al Noor and Shahadat Kat Matwaly.

Masood Azhar also has a group on the messaging app Telegram, called “Pakistan News”, in which, according to the Pakistan intelligence report, “almost more than 300 members of ISIS (Daesh), Tehrik-e-taliban, Lashkar-e-jhangvi Aalmi, Jamat ul Ahrar and Tehrike-taliban, Pakistan are available. Most of them belongs (sic) to ISIS. Daesh use this group for spreading their publication and teachings.”

DISTRICT-WISE LIST

Another report, called “Provision of Current Leadership of Banned/defunct Organizations” prepared by the Pakistani intelligence officers has the district-wise details of the activists of the JUD, Jaish e Mohammed and five other terror organisations. The districts covered are Sargodha, Khushab, Mianwali, Bhakkar and the list has descriptions of the regional terrorist commanders and their activities.

The report has put the operatives of these terrorist organisations under categories like “Active but silent” and “Presently silent”. For example, it has mentioned seven Jaish operatives in Sargodha district alone, as “Active but
