Missing In Pakistan

As we get closer to Pakistan Independence Day, 14th August 2008, and Pak Day LA, lets not forget hundreds of citizens of Pakistan that have gone missing since 2001. They are victims of Pakistan’s state-sponsored kidnapping. Some of them have reappeared in Gitmo prison, while others have vanished without a trace leaving behind worried and hurt loved ones.

Here is an independently produced documentary about the abduction and illegal detention of Pakistani citizens by Pakistani intelligence agencies. Source: http://missinginpakistan.wordpress.com/

Case in point: Dr. Afia Siddiqui

Aafia Siddiqui, whom the US accuses of al-Qaeda links, vanished in Karachi with her three children on 30 March 2003.

Why was she kidnapped? The answer may lie in the BBC article.

The answer may lie in her relationship with the family of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Aafia Siddiqui is said to have married Ali Abd’al Aziz Ali, one of his nephews following her divorce.

Although her family denies this, the BBC has been able to confirm it from security sources and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s family.

It is an open secret in Karachi, that any member of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s family deemed to be “a 1% threat to US security” is in American custody.

That may be the only “crime” that Aafia Siddiqui has committed.

In the eyes of US and Pakistani security officials, it was apparently too big to ignore.

Channel 4 News has exclusively obtained dramatic new footage which shows in clear detail the moment of Benazir Bhutto’s death.

Three bullets are heard being fired before a suicide bomber then detonates his device.

A firearms expert has told this programme that the video shows what appears to be a concussion strike, the possible moment of impact when a bullet struck the former Pakistani prime minister.

It contradicts the official Pakistani government account that Mrs Bhutto died from hitting her head on the sun roof as she ducked into the car.

Pakistani Students Host Impressive Culture Show

Irvine, CA: The Pakistani Student Associations from USC, UCLA, and UC Irvine presented the community with an elaborate show which highlighted the vibrant aspects of the Pakistani culture. On April 1st 2007, USC’s Bovard Auditorium welcomed about 900 guests; both Pakistani and non-Pakistani, to a fundraising charity show where all proceeds would go directly to Islamic Relief. The show was structured with an elaborate skit with energetic dances intertwined into the storyline.
The three schools had been organizing the event since the beginning of this school year in the hope of raising a significant sum of monetary donations to help the less fortunate community in Pakistan. The production of the show was on such a large scale that it required the involvement of about 100 participants and volunteers from all three schools. The event was made possible through the support of Friends of Pakistan, Your Dil LA, along with media coverage provided by Pakistan Link, Urdu Times LA, PakistanNews LA, Pakistan Post, Pakmusic, Pakstop, Sunzara.com.
