On the New Year's Day of 2015, an Indian Defence Ministry press release claimed that Indian Coast Guard had intercepted and challenged a Pakistani boat off the coast of Gujarat, some 365 miles away, but the occupants of the boat exploded themselves, suggesting that they had some ulterior motives. It also intimated that boat had taken off from KETI BUNDER, a fishing port near Karachi, in Pakistan. Indian intelligence agencies had intercepted, on December 31, 2014, some signal messages emanating between the boat and its handlers in KETI BUNDER. This was passed on to Indian Coast guard, which came into action immediately and started tracking the boat. The boat was tracked and kept under surveillance for 16 hours.
Press release had further clarified that there were four persons on the boat and when challenged by Indian coast guard vessel, they changed gear and sped away but were chased for an hour, when the boat exploded itself. The Ministry released a photograph of a boat in flames in the sea. The red fire emanating from the boat made some experts claim that it was not explosive fire (usually white) but diesel fire. Let experts scratch their brains as to what might have happened to explosives. However, the Defence Minister of India, Sh Maohar Parrikar, asserted this boat to be on a mission for some suspected terrorist act with some links with Pakistani officialdom.
As usual Pakistan denied it straight away and even questioned if it really had happened. It is understandable as no criminal would ever accept that he had committed the crime. And Pakistan is known for it. Even after tons of evidence against Mumbai 26/11 perpetrators, it keeps harping that there was no evidence. It would be interesting to quote here Munir Akram, ex Pakistani Ambassador to United Nations, who in his article "War in the Shadows" in 'The Dawn' wrote, "-----However, some groups, like the Lashkar-e-Taiba, although outlawed and aggrieved with the government, refrained from attacking the Army or Pakistani targets and maintained their focus on India. They demonstrated their extensive capabilities in the Mumbai terrorist attack.-----". What other evidence is required when its own Ambassador to United Nations is claiming it?
Anyway, forget what Pakistan is saying or doing? What is more astonishing was the reaction and outburst of Indian media and Congress party? They are raising such childish questions that one wonders at their advisors? They are repeating the same mistake as they did it with "Samjhauta Express Blast"and gave Pakistan an excuse to counter attack India. One is really shocked to note the way Congress, Indian English Media and other Modi - haters were making unholy noise about this incident. No doubts, the losers have to criticize every act of Modi. But the Congress party does not realize that it can not win back Indian electorate by criticizing the security forces acts on security but doing something constructive. All the same, just forget it because Congress was unwittingly playing the Pakistani game. Strategists of Congress party must realize as to how the common man in India sees their unwanted reaction. Anyway, let us move on.
There is no doubts that it was a boat carrying some arms and ammunition for terrorist action in Indian state of Gujarat. And there are reasons to believe this. This might have been a retaliatory action of Pakistan military against its perceived Indian hand in the Peshawar genocide. This could be a pre- emptive strike to put off PARVASI BHARTIYA MEET on January 07-09, 2015 or VIBRANT GUJARAT meet in Ahmedabad in January 2015. This could have been as well a move to send a strong message to USA, on the forthcoming visit of BH Obama , President of USA, to India for her Republic Day Parade on January 26, 2015. It could have been with or without the consent of ISI. It could be either by Good or Bad Taliban. The underlying fact is that it had happened and I am convinced that it was an intended terrorist act, which was foiled in time by India.
The question which keeps bugging my mind is : was it the Indian intelligence agencies who had trailed and tracked this boat from KETI BUNDER , near KARACHI or it was some one else who tipped off Indian agencies. Yes, your guess is right. I am hinting at USA. I am convinced that it was USA that pre- warned India about this boat and likely stuff it must have been carrying. It is a different scenario whether the boat was intercepted , taken over and destroyed or it was blown up by the occupants. My cerebral tissues say that probably it was the first scenario.
But, why would USA do this and tip off India? We all know that President Obama of USA is visiting India around 26 January 2015. The advance announcement of the visit has been a biggest goof up by India and USA. This definitely allows planning time to bête noises of USA, I.e. AL Quaeda and HAQQAMI NETWORK of Afghan Taliban or even some US - Haters in ISI of Pakistan. I am sure they did want to do something in Modi's Gujarat, when President OBAMA would have attended VIBRANT GUJARAT meet of NRIs in January 2015. And I have no doubts, terrorist act was planned to give a message to USA prior to OBAMA's visit to India and stall his participation in the said meet.
After the announcement of the visit of the President, US intelligence agencies won't sit idle. We all know how concerned US intelligence agencies were when President BILL CLINTON visited India in late 90s. Therefore they would have been monitoring all possible sides which could generate threat to their President. Definitely, Pakistan would be under their scanner. USA could track down Osama Bin Laden, a top secret of Pakistan's ISI for ten years because of its strong network in Pakistan. Therefore I have no doubts some "Richard Headley David" in ISI would have alerted the US intelligence agencies. Let me emphasize even if ISI was not involved, it certainly must have got the wind of it through her own sources within Good Taliban.
USA has its intelligence sources all over Pakistan. Announcement of $ 532 Million aid to Pakistan under Kerry- Lugger package , just the following day of this incident, is an indication to me that USA wants ISI to be kept amused. This terrorist action must have been planned and coordinated with some elements of ISI. The GOOD TALIBAN can not do anything without the help of ISI. The BAD Taliban, at this stage would be more interested in sorting out the Pakistan Army. ISI wanted to not only give a message to USA but also create military tension between India and Pakistan to win over BAD TALIBAN and divert their attention.
But as I have said earlier, USA has her sources at every inch in Pakistan, including ISI. Some one let out this impending act and US agencies tipped off the Indian agencies, not as intelligence sharing exercise but to protect and safeguard her own President, while in India. India's NTRO ( National Technical Research Organization) then took over by warning the COAST GUARD and concocting the story of intercepting radio messages from KETI BUNDER. This seems to be most likely truth because intercepting messages from KARACHI was beyond the capabilities of Indian intelligence agencies.
Rest of the story about tracking and chasing the boat by COAST GUARD seems to be nearly correct. Why nearly correct? How come report says that there were only four men on the boat? How did they count and from what distance, unless they were very close to the boat? The surety with which Indian MOD says that there were only four persons on the boat gives me the impression that the boat might have been captured with four persons. The possibility of the the terrorists themselves blowing up the boat can not be ruled out. Look at the fact that boat was under surveillance for 16 hours. I have a lurking feeling that occupants of the boat might have been nabbed .
What about the second Boat? How come Dornier air craft did not pick up the second boat? There was information that the "Expensive stuff " was to be disembarked on a second boat. I am sure the second boat also might be lurking around in the near vicinity and the Dornier aircraft on recce mission would have picked it up. They had been keeping this boat under surveillance for 16 hours. Definitely, air reconnaissance would have revealed the coordinates of the second boat. Was it picked up and taken for interrogation?
Did the interrogation of the would be terror actors reveal the plot of the terror attack, which Defence Minister , has been, now so openly claiming and even naming the involvement of Pakistan Marine security agency? I have a feeling my hunch is correct. Having got their target, they further extracting the juice. This is my inference from what is on the platter.
