Rashid Rauf: US 'undermined British investigation'
According to the UK Telegraph, the police investigation into the al-Qaeda airline bomb plot was undermined after the US pressurised Pakistan to arrest the suspected ringleader Rashid Rauf, it has emerged.
IMO: I wrote about Rashid Rauf some years ago in this blog, easily found by a blog search in this blog. The behaviour regarding Rauf looks pretty shady by now. The apparent US inspired torture in Pakistan seems to have been uncovered at the time by Amnesty International. The moral would seem to be not to supply any funds to Pakistan at all, as they seem to be using the money for torture and illegal nuclear weaponry. India would be very happy to see a friendly (I repeat 'friendly') Pakistan in the existing India Free Trade Area, but we are still facing filthy undercover tactics preventing even a remote possibility of that, at least in any forseeable future.
