Mid of Nawaz seated at his desk Rawalpindi ++NIGHT SHOTS++ 19. Various of police checking vehicles at a checkpoint on main road leading to Islamabad STORYLINE: Pakistani officials expressed optimism on Tuesday that they will recapture a British suspect in an alleged plot to blow up trans-Atlantic jetliners, saying they have arrested five people, including two police officers, on suspicion they helped him escape. Rashid Rauf was arrested in Pakistan in August 2006 before the plot was foiled. Britain has sought his extradition, both as a suspect in the 2002 killing of his uncle there, and to question him as a "key person" in the airplane plot. He has denied involvement in both cases. He was presented before a judge in the capital, Islamabad, on Saturday in connection with the extradition proceedings, but on his way back to jail, he tricked police into stopping to let him pray at a mosque, then slipped out the back door. One of Pakistan's leading newspapers, The News, also reported on Tuesday that Rauf allegedly dined with police officers at a local McDonald's in Rawalpindi. Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz called Rauf's escape "unfortunate" and a serious security lapse. "We have one or two very good leads which we are working on, and the people who were closely involved in his escape have also been apprehended," he told AP Television. He said Rauf's possible escape routes have been blocked but he had a eight or nine hour head start on police. Nawaz said the five people who were arrested include two police officers and one of Rauf's uncles. He said he did not know if al-Qaida was behind the escape, pending completion of an investigation. A judge in Rawalpindi on Tuesday granted a police request for permission to question the two detained officers for six days, said a local police official. The escape is an embarrassment for the government of President Pervez Musharraf, who made Pakistan a key ally of the United States in its war on terror following the September 11, 2001, attacks in America.

STILL of Ahmed receiving an award from ex-President of Pakistan Rafiq Tarrar 16. STILL of Ahmed with ex-prime minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif PTV File Location unknown, 14 April 1999 16. Shaheen missile test STORYLINE: The founder of Pakistan's nuclear program, Abdul Qadeer Khan, has admitted he transferred nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, a Pakistani government official said Monday. Khan made the confession in a written statement submitted "a couple of days ago" to investigators probing allegations of nuclear proliferation by Pakistan. The transfers were made during the late 1980s and in the early and mid 1990s, and were motivated by "personal greed and ambition," the official said told the Associated Press. A meeting of the National Command Authority that controls Pakistan's nuclear assets was briefed on the statement at a meeting on Saturday, when Khan - long regarded as a national hero in Pakistan - was sacked from his position as a scientific adviser to the prime minister. Two senior military officials briefed a number of Pakistani journalists late on Sunday, and said Khan admitted to selling outdated "drawings and machinery" to the three countries to earn money for Pakistan. However, Khan claimed the transfers to Libya and Iran were also motivated by wanting to help other Muslim countries become nuclear powers. Khan had previously been reported as denying any wrongdoing. The transfer to North Korea "was to divert attention of the international community from Pakistan," a journalist quoted one of the military officials as saying. Khan denied he made the transfers for personal gain. Khan reportedly met with Iranian nuclear scientists in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi but it wasn't clear when, said the journalists, who did not want to be identified. The government official said the two-month probe into the proliferation allegations had reached its conclusion, but said it was up to the authority to decide whether to prosecute Khan and six other suspects in the case. Pakistan's President, General Pervez Musharraf, who heads the authority, was due to make an address to the nation about the progress of the investigation after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, which ends on Thursday in Pakistan. Pakistan began its investigation in November after revelations by Tehran to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog. The government official said that "questions have been put" to two former army chiefs, General Mirza Aslam Beg and General Jehangir Karamat, to check information provided by Khan and other suspects during the "debriefings" - as the government has referred to the questioning of scientists. The official stressed that the two generals were not the focus of the investigation, and added that they told investigators they never authorised nuclear transfers. However, the official said the probe had concluded there had been a lapse in security that allowed the transfers to take place, although no blame had been apportioned. Analysts say that many unanswered questions remain over how powerful generals who oversaw the Pakistan's nuclear program that began in the 1970s - with the aim of creating a military deterrent against rival India - could have been so in the dark about any nuclear transfers by its scientists. The mission to create the bomb was conducted in secret, using black market suppliers to circumvent international restrictions on trade in nuclear-related technology. Pakistan conducted its first nuclear test in 1998.

New Delhi - December 2, 2008 AP Television 13. Various of newspaper headlines about relations between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai attacks STORYLINE: Although public pressure has grown for India to take action after suspected Pakistani militants rampaged through Mumbai last week, the two nuclear-armed rivals say they are working to keep tensions in check. Both sides seem to be hoping that US diplomacy - expected to intensify with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's arrival in India on Wednesday - will defuse the burgeoning crisis. India has blamed the attacks, which killed 172 people and paralysed India's financial capital, on the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. It called on Islamabad to take strong action against those responsible and to hand over suspected militants believed living in Pakistan. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi offered on Tuesday to establish a joint investigation with India and said the government wanted to continue a painstaking peace process begun in 2004. Meanwhile a list of about 20 people, including India's most-wanted man, was submitted to Pakistan's high commissioner to India on Monday night, said India's Foreign Minister, Pranab Mukherjee. Among those sought by India is fugitive Dawood Ibrahim, a powerful gangster, the alleged mastermind of the 1993 Mumbai bombings. Also included is Masood Azhar, a terror suspect freed from an Indian prison in exchange for the release of hostages aboard an Indian Airlines aircraft hijacked on Christmas Day 1999. In the past, Pakistan has denied harbouring these men. However, Pakistan said it would consider India's request and respond after receiving the list. India has already demanded Pakistan take "strong action" against those responsible for the attacks, and the US has pressured Islamabad to co-operate in the investigation. The diplomatic wrangling comes as the government faces widespread accusations of security and intelligence failures in their handling of the attacks. Indian officials continued to interrogate the only surviving attacker, Ajmal Qasab, who reportedly told police that he and the other nine gunmen had trained for months in camps in Pakistan operated by the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. India's foreign intelligence agency received information as recently as September that Pakistan-based militants were plotting attacks against Mumbai targets, according to a government intelligence official familiar with the matter. The information was then relayed to domestic security authorities, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorised to talk publicly about the details. But it's unclear what, if anything, the government did with the intelligence after that. The famous Taj Mahal hotel, scene of much of the bloodshed, had tightened its security with metal detectors and other measures in the weeks before the attacks, after being warned of a possible threat. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has promised to strengthen maritime and air security and look into creating a new federal investigative agency, met on Tuesday with top security aides to review any government lapses. Admiral Suresh Mehta, the Indian Navy Chief admitted on Tuesday that there had been a "systemic failure" but said that the response from the government "is going to be quite adequate." Also on Tuesday a senior US official said that they had warned India before last week's brutal attacks that militants appeared to be plotting a mostly waterborne assault on Mumbai. The official would not elaborate on the timing or details of the US warning to Indian counterparts. The official confirmed, though, that Washington passed on information it had about a possible attacks, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of intelligence information.

Pakistan UN - UN WFP head says will keep full operations in Pakistan after attack

Cutaway of journalists 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Josete Sheeran, UN World Food Programme Executive Director: "We will also continue to put out our appeals, not only in Pakistan, but worldwide, for the world to stand by humanitarian workers. WFP's motto, and I think it's testimony throughout the world, and the support it receives throughout the world as a neutral humanitarian actor, who serves those trapped without food and access to vital supplies without fear or favour. And that is true of our history here in Pakistan." 6. Wide of news briefing STORYLINE The head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Wednesday that the agency would be reviewing its security measures after a suicide bomb blast at its office in Islamabad on Monday killed five people. The WFP is determined to keep up full operations in the country, said Josete Sheeran, the WFP's executive director, during a visit to Pakistan. Sheeran told a news conference in Islamabad that security officials were conducting a full review of the agency's operations in Pakistan and doubling its security management team there. She said the WFP would aim to "both balance the security needs of our staff and the needs to reach those vulnerable people in Pakistan who rely on our partnership with them." Sheeran also met with President Asif Ali Zardari and some Cabinet officials during her visit. Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday blamed the attack on Taliban militants. He said the Taliban carried out the attack to avenge the slaying of their leader Baitullah Mehsud in a US missile strike on 5 August. The Taliban also claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing, saying international relief work in Pakistan was not in "the interest of Muslims." According to officials, the suicide bomber was dressed as a security officer and allowed to enter the heavily guarded WFP building after he asked to use the bathroom. On Tuesday the WFP's resident coordinator in Pakistan, Fikret Acura, admitted there had been a failure in the organisation's security system. The United Nations temporarily closed all its offices in Pakistan after the attack, which blew out windows and left victims lying in pools of blood in the lobby of the three-story compound. Despite the closures, the UN said its Pakistani partner organisations would continue distributing food, medicine and other humanitarian assistance. The world body said it would reassess the situation over the next few days. Pakistani authorities launched an investigation into the major security lapse, saying they would question guards who failed to stop the bomber from carrying out the first suicide attack in Islamabad in four months. The attack also exposed the vulnerability of international relief agencies helping (m) millions of Pakistanis ahead of an anticipated military offensive against the Taliban in their South Waziristan stronghold. The United Nations had already considered itself a target in Pakistan. Its offices are surrounded by blast walls, while staffers are driven in bullet-proof cars and not allowed to bring their families with them on assignment. Medical officials at two hospitals said five staff members were killed in Monday's blast, including two Pakistani women, two Pakistani men and an Iraqi. Several others were wounded, two of them critically, the WFP said in a statement.

Close of member of British Scotland Yard anti-terror team walking through airport terminal surrounded by media 5. Various of British officers getting onto minibus - surrounded by media 6. Pan of minibus driving away STORYLINE A team of British anti-terror officers from Scotland Yard arrived in Pakistan on Friday, to join the investigation into opposition leader and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination, a day after President Pervez Musharraf dismissed allegations his government may have had a hand in the killing. The officers made no comment to reporters as they made their way through the arrivals terminal at Islamabad International Airport. The Scotland Yard team will provide forensic and technical expertise into the killing of the opposition leader, but will not be allowed to go on a "wild goose chase and create a political disturbance," Musharraf told a news conference late on Thursday. Bhutto's killing on December 27 plunged an already volatile Pakistan deeper into crisis as it battled a surge in violence by militant extremists. It also forced a six-week delay in parliamentary elections, now set for February 18, which were seen as crucial to restoring stability and democracy to this key US ally. Musharraf, a former army chief who seized power in a 1999 coup, rejected accusations that a security lapse led to Bhutto's killing and suggested she was partly at fault because she poked her head out of her bombproof vehicle's sunroof after an election rally despite threats by Islamic extremists. He acknowledged his decision to seek outside help to investigate the killing was partly to allay suspicions of government complicity. Bhutto had accused elements in the ruling party of plotting to kill her. Rioting following Bhutto's death killed nearly 60 people and caused about 80 (b) billion rupees (1.3 (b) billion US dollars) worth of damage in the worst-hit province of Sindh, authorities said. The government quickly accused an Islamic militants of orchestrating the shooting and bombing attack on Bhutto and said she died from the force of the blast and not a gunshot wound. But many, questioned that account, and Bhutto's party has demanded a United Nations probe into her murder.

This would be premature for me to say anything. The foreign office will give you the briefing later in the afternoon." (Question: Has India provided any evidence to Pakistan?) "India has not provided any evidence so far. No evidence." 18. Wide of news conference STORYLINE India announced a massive overhaul of its security and intelligence agencies on Thursday in the wake of the Mumbai attacks that left 171 dead and provoked a public outcry over the government's response. The move came as authorities were granted permission to hold the only surviving attacker, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, for a further two weeks. Police backed off plans to produce Kasab for a routine hearing, citing security concerns. Instead, a magistrate came to police headquarters and granted authorities permission to continue to hold him, public prosecutor Eknath Dhamal said, without providing details of the decision. Under Indian law, police can extend detentions for months on end before formal criminal charges are filed. A security cordon was thrown around the downtown Mumbai building where Kasab was being held, and journalists were kept 200 yards (180 meters) away, their view blocked by a police van. Kasab, who was wounded and captured by police in the first hours of the November 26 attack, has been repeatedly interrogated by authorities and reportedly offered key details about the planning of the assault and those responsible for it. The revamp of India's security measures represents the government's first detailed response to widespread public anger over security and intelligence failures in the attacks. Among the new measures the government will seek to create an FBI-style national investigative agency, beef up coastal security, better train local police, strengthen anti-terror laws and increase intelligence sharing, said Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, the country's top law enforcement official. Chidambaram has previously apologised for "lapses" in government response to the attacks. Also on Thursday, India formally responded to recent raids and arrests in Pakistan as the foreign minister urged Islamabad to go further by dismantling militant operations and camps believed to be rooted in the country. It's not enough for a banned organisation to just change its name, Pranab Mukherjee said, if the "ideologies are the same, activities are the same. How does it help us?" Mukherjee's statement was in reference to the Pakistan based Islamic charity group Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which many claim is simply a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group. India has accused Lashkar-e-Taiba of training and steering the Mumbai gunmen. Late on Wednesday, United Nations Security Council panel declared Jamaat-ud-Dawa a "terrorist organisation", subject to UN sanctions, as sought by India and the United States. The UN panel specifically designated four men connected to Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Lashkar-e-Taiba as "terrorists", including Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the suspected mastermind of the Mumbai attacks. Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed called the move an attempt to target religious groups. Saeed said his group would move Pakistani and international courts to fight the decision and challenged Indian and US officials to produce evidence against Jamaat-ud-Dawa. Jamaat-ud-Dawa emerged after Pakistan's government banned Lashkar in 2002, following US pressure. The group, which denies any links to Lashkar, runs a chain of schools and medical clinics and has helped survivors of two deadly earthquakes in recent years. Earlier this week Indian authorities released what they said were the names and Pakistani hometowns of the other nine Mumbai gunmen. It also has presented Pakistan with a list of other fugitive militant suspects and demanded their extradition. Pakistan's Interior Ministry said on Thursday the government has not seen the list. Pakistan will decide what the response will be when it has seen the list and deliberated, Interior Ministry Chief Rehman Malik said at a news briefing in Islamabad. Earlier this week Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said none of those detained so far in Pakistan would face extradition to India.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cue in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABDUL QADEER KHAN FILE FOOTAGE, APOLOGY, B-ROLL / MUSHARRAF PARDON / NIGHTLINE 1) 19:06:04 STORY: ++Pakistan Scientist 2 - NEW Scientist apology to nation for spreading nuclear secrets DATELINE: Islamabad 4 Feb 2004 1. SOUNDBITE: (English) Abdul Qadeer Khan, Government scientist: 19:06:04 "It is with the deepest sense of sorrow, anguish and regret that I have chosen to appear before you in order to atone for some of the anguish and pain that has been suffered by the people of Pakistan on account of the extremely unfortunate events of the last two months. I am aware of the wider critical nature of Pakistan's nuclear programme to our national security and the national pride and emotions that it generates in your hearts. 19:06:35 I'm also conscious that any untoward event, incident or threat to this national security, draws greatest concern in the nation's psyche. It is in this context that the recent international events and the fall out on Pakistan have traumatised the nation. I have much to answer for it. The recent investigation was ordered by the government of Pakistan consequent to the disturbing disclosures and evidence by some countries to international agencies, relating to proliferation activities by certain Pakistanis and foreigners over the last two decades. 19:07:16 The investigation has established that many of the reported activities did occur and that these were inevitably initiated at my behest. In my interviews with the concerned government officials I was confronted with the evidence and the findings and I have voluntarily admitted that much of it is true and accurate. My dear brothers and sister I have chosen to appear before you to offer my deepest regrets and unqualified apologies to a traumatised nation. 19:07:50 I am aware of the high esteem, love and affection in which you have held me for my services to national security and I am grateful for all the awards and honours that have been vested upon me. However it pains me to realise in retrospect that my entire lifetime achievement of providing fool proof national security to my nation could have been placed in serious jeopardy on account of my activities which were based in good faith but on errors of judgement related to unauthorised proliferation activities. I wish to place on record that those of my subordinates who have accepted their role in the affair were acting in good faith, like me, on my instructions. 19:08:38 I also wish to clarify that there was never any tradition for these activities by the government.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Abdul Qadeer Khan, Government scientist: 19:06:04 "It is with the deepest sense of sorrow, anguish and regret that I have chosen to appear before you in order to atone for some of the anguish and pain that has been suffered by the people of Pakistan on account of the extremely unfortunate events of the last two months. I am aware of the wider critical nature of Pakistan's nuclear programme to our national security and the national pride and emotions that it generates in your hearts. 19:06:35 I'm also conscious that any untoward event, incident or threat to this national security, draws greatest concern in the nation's psyche. It is in this context that the recent international events and the fall out on Pakistan have traumatised the nation. I have much to answer for it. The recent investigation was ordered by the government of Pakistan consequent to the disturbing disclosures and evidence by some countries to international agencies, relating to proliferation activities by certain Pakistanis and foreigners over the last two decades. 19:07:16 The investigation has established that many of the reported activities did occur and that these were inevitably initiated at my behest. In my interviews with the concerned government officials I was confronted with the evidence and the findings and I have voluntarily admitted that much of it is true and accurate. My dear brothers and sister I have chosen to appear before you to offer my deepest regrets and unqualified apologies to a traumatised nation. 19:07:50 I am aware of the high esteem, love and affection in which you have held me for my services to national security and I am grateful for all the awards and honours that have been vested upon me. However it pains me to realise in retrospect that my entire lifetime achievement of providing fool proof national security to my nation could have been placed in serious jeopardy on account of my activities which were based in good faith but on errors of judgement related to unauthorised proliferation activities. I wish to place on record that those of my subordinates who have accepted their role in the affair were acting in good faith, like me, on my instructions. 19:08:38 I also wish to clarify that there was never any tradition for these activities by the government. I take full responsibility for my actions and seek your pardon. I give you an assurance, my dear brothers and sisters that such activities will never take place in the future. I also appeal to all citizens of Pakistan, in the supreme national interest to refrain from any further speculations and not to politicise these extremely sensitive issue of national security.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Abdul Qadeer Khan, Government scientist: 19:06:04 "It is with the deepest sense of sorrow, anguish and regret that I have chosen to appear before you in order to atone for some of the anguish and pain that has been suffered by the people of Pakistan on account of the extremely unfortunate events of the last two months. I am aware of the wider critical nature of Pakistan's nuclear programme to our national security and the national pride and emotions that it generates in your hearts. 19:06:35 I'm also conscious that any untoward event, incident or threat to this national security, draws greatest concern in the nation's psyche. It is in this context that the recent international events and the fall out on Pakistan have traumatised the nation. I have much to answer for it. The recent investigation was ordered by the government of Pakistan consequent to the disturbing disclosures and evidence by some countries to international agencies, relating to proliferation activities by certain Pakistanis and foreigners over the last two decades. 19:07:16 The investigation has established that many of the reported activities did occur and that these were inevitably initiated at my behest. In my interviews with the concerned government officials I was confronted with the evidence and the findings and I have voluntarily admitted that much of it is true and accurate. My dear brothers and sister I have chosen to appear before you to offer my deepest regrets and unqualified apologies to a traumatised nation. 19:07:50 I am aware of the high esteem, love and affection in which you have held me for my services to national security and I am grateful for all the awards and honours that have been vested upon me. However it pains me to realise in retrospect that my entire lifetime achievement of providing fool proof national security to my nation could have been placed in serious jeopardy on account of my activities which were based in good faith but on errors of judgement related to unauthorised proliferation activities. I wish to place on record that those of my subordinates who have accepted their role in the affair were acting in good faith, like me, on my instructions. 19:08:38 I also wish to clarify that there was never any tradition for these activities by the government. I take full responsibility for my actions and seek your pardon. I give you an assurance, my dear brothers and sisters that such activities will never take place in the future. I also appeal to all citizens of Pakistan, in the supreme national interest to refrain from any further speculations and not to politicise these extremely sensitive issue of national security. May Allah keep Pakistan safe and secure. (in Urdu) Long live Pakistan." 2) 19:09:29 DATELINE: Islamabad/Rwalpindi - Feb 4/5, 2004 19:09:29 1.

I think at the same time at the domestic level, because of the stature that Dr. A.Q. Khan had enjoyed and the myth and the reality about him which had developed over the last 20, 25 years, that could not be demolished and if it could have been demolished completely then it would have had a big recoil within the country which they wanted to avoid.
