# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Article Discusses Effect of Mumbai Terrorism on Pakistan-Indian Relations
Article by Momin Iftikhar: The scourge of Mumbai terrorism - The Nation
Online
Thursday July 28, 2011 09:00:27 GMT
For its macabre attraction to the terrorists, Mumbai has also acquired
relevance in determining the pace of rapprochement between India and
Pakistan. This is because whenever Mumbai is rocked by the forces of
terrorism, the Indian establishment without taking a pause to investigate
and rationalise begins to harangue Pakistan, excluding the local dynamics
that are behind the precipitation of such a vitriolic expression by the
indigenous actors. Serial blasts hit Mumbai in 1993 and again in 2006, and
then there was the infamous three-day long assault in November 2008 that
sent the sputtering peace dialogue between India and Pakistan into a deep
freeze.
Even as the Indian government and its media have been routinely accusing
Pakistan of the repeated Mumbai targeting, yet the fires smouldering
behind the cosmopolitan razzmatazz are too prominent to be ignored. The
blasts in 1993 killed 250 people, surpassing the deadliness of the 2008
carnage in which 161 people lost their lives. It was a reflection of the
rage felt by the Muslim community in India over the demolition of the
iconic Babri Mosque in December 1992 by Hindu right-wing militants under
the inactive gaze of the Indian government and insouciance of its
political order.
On July 11, 2006, Mumbai's sprawling suburban railway network was rocked
by a series of seven bomb blasts within a span of 11 minutes. Two hundred
and nine people were killed and over 700 were injured. The communal angle
was prominently manifest. A seething anger in the Muslim community in the
aftermath of the Gujarat pogrom in 2002 and the injustices meted out to
the community was barely waiting to burst out. Despite the fact that over
2,000 Muslims had been butchered by Hindu mobs, Indian Prime Minister Atal
Bihari Vajpayee had passed the blame back to the community by justifying
their ordeal. The pogrom, according to him, was spontaneously triggered by
Muslim 'militants' act of setting fire to a bogie at Godhra, in which
Hindu karsevaks, returning from Ayodhya, were traveling; an
un-substantiated allegation that was negated by further investigations.
The pent up rage among the Indian Muslims manifested itself in the
explosions, which targeted the commuters of Mumbai Railway system in July
2006.
The 1993 and 2006 Mumbai bombings were bad enough in vitiating the
ambience for promoting bilateral relations, but the Mumbai terrorist
attack of 2008 really brought the Indo-Pak crawling peace dialogue to a
grinding halt. The Indian government blamed the ISI for masterminding the
attacks; baseless allegations that have taken close to three years to
peter ou t. It was the verdict of a Chicago court in June this year that
has sounded the death knell of the Indian propaganda, which had maintained
all along that the ISI had masterminded the attack in which six Americans
had been killed. The Indian hopes were dashed when the court acquitted
Tahawwur Rana of the charge of providing material support for the
terrorist strike.
The Indian government had hoped that Tahawwur's conviction would
substantiate its claims and bring in US pressure to extradite six people,
including the non-existent Major Iqbal and th e LeT commanders that the
Indians accuse of having masterminded the attacks. The NIA had framed a
case in 2009 against Headley, Rana and the six other absconding persons
for involvement in 26/11 attacks and was eagerly awaiting the verdict of
the Chicago court. Their expectation proved short-lived; the documents
submitted by the US government in Rana's case did not mention ISI or did
it refer to Major Iqbal as an ISI officer. There is consternation in NIA
in India now that Rana's acquittal has thrown the bottom out of their
allegations against Pakistan for complicity in the Mumbai terrorist
attack. It is worth recollecting that an Indian interrogation team had got
access to Headley in Chicago in July 2010 and they appeared smug that his
production in the American court would help them buttress their case
against Pakistan - a dream that has suddenly gone awry.
The finger pointing and accusations about Pakistan's involvement in the
latest bomb attack in Mumbai has not been officially raised by the Indian
government so far and it is a good omen. The profile of India's homegrown
terrorism is prominently emerging and currently the suspicion is on the
Indian Mujahedeen and the SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) for
having created this communal backlash. Some footprints of the Mumbai's
underworld are also being talked about. The good thing is that the Indian
government has shown responsib ility and restraint and the peace process
is still on track. For this part of the world this is no mean achievement.
