Used by NATO tankers in Karachi.

While both sides haggle over by the amount, but it may soon come to an agreement. As an indication of this is also true that Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari may now sit on Sunday and Monday but at the NATO Summit in Chicago at the table.

Series of incidents

Several incidents had led the relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan in a serious crisis: In February 2011, was a U.S. secret agent two Pakistanis in Lahore shot dead in broad daylight. In May 2011 it had U.S. special forces – supposedly without any knowledge of Pakistan – Osama bin Laden tracked down and killed in Abbottabad. As on 26 November U.S. attack helicopters also bombed a border post and killed 24 soldiers blocked the supply routes through Pakistan, Islamabad. NATO had to avoid routes through Central Asia to supply the troops in Afghanistan.

Pakistan pounded first for an official apology, but they refused to Washington. Meanwhile backpedaled Islamabad. Pakistan, too, knows that it meets with the NATO blockade of the entire front of the head and internationally isolated.

As the government probes the embarrassment which on Sunday sparked protests from traders in Lahore, they are closely looking at the possibility of an Indian intelligence operative having been hoaxed by Pakistani tricksters who have been seeking to exploit India’s anxiety to prevent terror attacks from across the border.

Sources in the government said that post-26/11, conmen have been approaching Indian agencies and journalists; in one case even a politician, offering “credible information” for money.

The usual modus operandi is to offer “information”; for instance a photograph of what is claimed to be an ISI facility or a terrorist training camp at an undisclosed location deep inside Pakistan. Although the veracity of “inputs” cannot be ascertained, Indian agencies with their dire need for intelligence on terror plots are compelled not to disregard them. Confidence gained, the tricksters are in business, regularly peddling information for amounts which have increased considerably after the attack on Mumbai.

Only in this instance, the swindlers artfully raised their game by passing off photographs of the “terrorists” who had sneaked in Mumbai via the sea route and the details of their plan to target Mumbai. The Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) deemed the intelligence so sensitive and credible that it was instantly shared with the Intelligence Bureau, leading the Multiple Agency Centre to alert police in Maharashtra and Gujarat against what appeared to be an attempt to repeat 26/11. Sources don’t rule out the possibility of “sources” having been even handsomely rewarded for the information.

In the event, three of the terrorists turned out to be mobile phone traders operating from Lahore’s popular electronic market Hafeez Centre. Another member of the group is an employee with one of the shops, while the remaining one is a security guard working there.

All of them approached Lahore Police for protection after they got to know about reports in Indian media about the alert against their presence in Mumbai for a major terrorist attack.

The bungle, which has many in Pakistan gloating, has led to calls for setting up a national data base of intelligence sources who could regularly be audited for credibility. It has also underlined India’s continuing inability to access reliable real-time information on Pakistan-based terror groups who represent a major security challenge.

With no credible network of their own in Pakistan, Indian agencies are forced to depend on paid contacts, many of them smugglers and petty criminals, who move across the border and return with sensational claims for a payment. It is feared that the shadowy set could well be working for agencies in Pakistan too. In fact, many in the Indian security establishment suspect that one such double agent could be behind the May 6 fraud perpetrated on RAW.

Yet, intelligence agencies are compelled to remain engaged with the cross-border operatives who, besides being paid, are also allowed to carry on with their criminal activities. “These cross-border contacts seem to know the helplessness of our agencies, and are adept at exploiting it,” an official said.

So there is no let up in the flow of “information” from “Pakistani contacts”. Just before Republic Day this year, RAW came up with a sensational claim that over 100 Pakistan-trained terrorists had gathered at various launch pads across the international border and Line of Control, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into India. These terrorists were to target Mumbai and Delhi. Of them, some 20 were trained for underwater operations, the alert claimed. After several rounds of meetings in the security establishment, serious questions emerged about the credibility of the information, leading RAW to quietly withdaw the alert.

A similar “intelligence” industry exists, although on a much smaller scale, along the Bangladesh border too. Last year, the West Bengal police “sourced” photographs of two alleged terrorists who were planning to attack Mumbai. A detailed scrutiny revealed that the photographs were fake.

In fact, Assam police for years kept issuing alarming terror alerts based on their cross-border contacts. They have stopped doing so after an overwhelming majority of warnings turned out to be spurious.

The two countries reached an understanding on withdrawing troops during President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to New Delhi on April 8, ‘The Express Tribune’ quoted unnamed military and diplomatic officials as saying.

The withdrawal of troops to peacetime positions is among the first substantial overtures since the two sides resumed peace talks after a two year gap in the wake of the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

A formal announcement about the withdrawal is likely when the Indian Prime Minister visits Islamabad, possibly during the latter half of this year.

“It is going to happen in September or October,” an unnamed official told the daily.

Political figures privy to the President’s day-long visit to India said the major development was a result of talks through backdoor channels, which had been active for the past couple of years.

Officials said the Indian government had mobilised troops to take wartime positions at the disputed border with Pakistan, particularly in Kashmir, immediately after terrorists launched the attacks in India’s commercial hub of Mumbai. The attacks in Mumbai were blamed on the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba.

According to experts, in a wartime scenario, the regular Army starts manning the border instead of special forces meant for protecting boundaries.

India has the Border Security Force and Pakistan has Rangers for this purpose.

Officials said Pakistan responded to the Indian move by sending troops to “concentration areas” or forward bases along the working boundary at Sialkot and some other locations.

A senior military official said that though troops were mobilised by India, there was no serious tension at the border like in 2002, after an attack on Parliament that was blamed on two Pakistan-based groups.

“There has never been an alert. Neither on our side nor on the other,” said the military official.

Defence experts said any move by India will provide Pakistan space to deploy more troops in the north of the country, where the military is busy fighting al-Qaeda and the local Taliban.

The US and other Western states fighting the insurgency in Afghanistan too want Pakistan to curb terrorists on its soil.

Besides the withdrawal of troops, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh might have other “pleasant” surprises, the report said.

Officials said “major announcements” were expected on Siachen, the glacier known as world’s highest battlefield, and the Sir Creek boundary dispute.

They said there is a possibly that both sides might agree on troop withdrawal from Siachen, where an avalanche buried 139 people at a high-altitude Pakistan Army camp on April 7.

Pakistan’s civil and military leaders, including Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, have said both countries should withdraw troops from the border to divert resources to development.
