Abnormal activities of foreign nationals

As per the press reports, MNA Javed Hashmi, who also heads the NA human rights body’s sub-committee on American private security firm Blackwater’s alleged presence in the country, said that the US was purchasing land in the suburbs of the federal capital Islamabad, including Malpur, Sihala and the Simly Dam area. He also said,“Influential people in Islamabad are renting out their houses to Americans,” and added “as per preliminary information, it is an established fact that Inter-Risk and DynCorp are training recruits in Peshawar”.

There has been a lot of hue and cry on part of the residents of Islamabad for many weeks about abnormal activities of the foreign diplomats and nationals. It has been the subject of the media, too. There have been reports that foreign nationals are employing highly trained retired soldiers of the special services group of the army in large numbers offering them very attractive salaries.

There is a need to probe into the matter to verify if all this is true or mere speculations. Based on the probe, government should take appropriate measures in either case and let the people know about it.

No direct evidence of Blackwater/Xe in Pak -- which makes sense given the heat put on them after '07. DynCorp has the contract for embassy/consulate security -- subcontracted to Inter Risk and perhaps other Pak security companies.

The Inter Risk raids is interesting. After they officially arrested Ali Zaidi, then they arrested a human-rights activist connected to the embassy -- Jamil Abbasi. Allegations of bribery. And they're STILL in custody? Hmm..

Let us hope that the sub committee under Javded Hashmi finalizes its report soon and makes it public.
