The book by this think-tank is nothing but a waste of sensationalized topics.Do these think-tank activists have any irrefutable data to counter their claims of Musharraf having set up safe havens for terrorists?If questioned,they would only end up with 'According to unnamed sources'.
QUOTE-"The book says Musharraf's direct or indirect role in the IC 814 hijacking was not secret either. There were enough clues to expose Pakistan's hand in the hijacking. Of the five hijackers, four were from Pakistan. These hijackers were constantly in touch with the Pakistan Army's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi.
To facilitate communication, Pakistani intelligence officers in Kathmandu had given them a satellite phone. In fact, ISI and Army officers in Kathmandu had planned the entire operation."
UNQUOTE-Did Musharraf just walk across the table and offer all these facts?Do these think-tank have the code to this satellite phone handed over by ISI?
I am not being pro-Pakistan or pro-anything,but just detest from these so called SENSATIONAL NEWS coming in after the storm has passed over and caused the deaths of thousands of innocents.
The book says that President Musharraf, within two months of taking over, allowed terrorists operating from his homeland to hijack an Indian Airlines flight from Kathmandu and helped create one of the most dreaded terrorist groups, Jaish-e-Mohammed.

What the book states has been known to most people as a gut feel. Only the blind and absolutely dumb will need more evidence about Musharraf and pak complicity in these events. Even now these terrorists are openly roaming around in Pak. Musharraf's 'naatak' is apparent to one and all. Remember, we have also watched the TV reports just after 9/11 when Musharraf addressed his senate and the fundus, by stating that it is strategy which is making him side with the US. He quoted some verses from Hadith where even the prophet apparently used this ruse to hoodwink the enemy and once he had the upper hand and the enemy was complacent, he massacred them. So much for the role model that Musharraf follows. Anyone who could read between the lines and had an iota of common sense knew that the General, who has immense hatred for India, has been the bulwark on which the terrorists have grown and multiplied in Pak. This snake is going to bite the hand that feeds it soon. Have you read reports by Mr. B. Raman, with his incisive analysis? Everyone, including the Yankees, know the truth about Musharraf and Pak. Today, it suits the super power to turn a blind eye. There is nothing new in this 'new' book.

What makes you imagine that the author's motive is to give sources of data, rather than to expose the real story.
Besides, haven't you seen all those things happening by yourself, which is being quoted in this article.
