â™  Pakistani diplomat launches scathing attack on White House â™ 
â™  European intelligence claims raised terror alerts 'nonsensical' â™ 
▀▬▬▬▬▬◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►▬▬▬▬▬▀
â™  â™  â™ Senior Pakistani diplomats and European intelligence
officials have told The Guardian newspaper
( Link: http://bit.ly/9UIuTj ) that President Obama's administration has deliberately exaggerated the current
terror threat to European cities from militants in Pakistan
for political reasons.
â™  â™  â™ "I will not deny the fact that there may be internal
political dynamics, including the forthcoming midterm
elections," Pakistan's high commissioner to Britain, Wajid
ShamsulHasan, told CBS News in London, mirroring
comments he made to The Guardian. "If the Americans have
definite information about terrorists and al Qaeda people,
we should be provided with that and we could go after
them ourselves."
â™  â™  â™ Hasan, whose job is equivalent to that of ambassador,
has a reputation for making controversial, sometimes
incendiary comments, but he is a veteran diplomat with close
ties to the Pakistani political leadership.
â™  â™  â™ "This terror threat could be a mole hill that has been
made into a mountain," Hasan told CBS in a telephone
interview Friday morning.
â™  â™  â™ He called the widely reported threat of "commando-
style" sieges being planned for London and other major
cities in France and Germany, "a mixture of frustrations,
ineptitude and lack of appreciation of ground realities," on
the part of U.S. officials seeking to justify a dramatic
increase in drone missile strikes against militant targets on
the Pakistani side of the border with Afghanistan.
â™  â™  â™ These reports coincided with a number of heavy,
controversial attacks by US drones and helicopters on the
Pakistani side of the border with Afghanistan.
â™  â™  â™ The US's warning to Americans to be vigilant in Europe
added fresh impetus to the scares. The Foreign Office
upgraded its threat warning to Britons going to France and
Germany, although the terror threat level in Britain remained
the same.
â™  â™  â™ European officials again made it clear yesterday they
were "irritated" with the US for leaking stories before they
could gather more intelligence. There was no evidence that a
plot was imminent, and intelligence was described by a
well-placed Whitehall official as "ill-defined".

▬▬▬▬◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►▬▬▬▬
â™  â™  â™ Hasan said the increase in missile strikes, and thus the
terror alert to justify them, were born of the Obama
administration's rush to show some degree of success in
the war against Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants in the
region, and were "obviously" linked to the U.S. president's
demand to begin pulling American forces out of Afghanistan
in 2011.

â™  â™  â™ White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said on
Monday that President Obama was briefed on the apparent
threat a day before the State department issued its travel
alert. The threat "deals with Europe and isn't related to the
United States," Gibbs said, without providing further details.
â™  â™  â™ "We are concerned enough to alert those who are in
Europe to be alert to their surroundings," Gibbs said at a
White House briefing. He said people should be alert to
suspicious activities and should be aware of where to go in
the event of an emergency.
â™  â™  â™ European intelligence officials also told The Guardian
that the White House was behind the dire warnings against
travel to tourist hotspots in Britain, France and Germany.
The officials essentially accuse the Americans of weaving
together loose evidence of militant intentions to formulate a
threat that, if it existed at all, was far from becoming a real
danger.

â™  â™  â™ "To stitch together [the plot claims] in a seamless
narrative is nonsensical," one source, whom the paper
dubbed "well-placed," told The Guardian.
â™  â™  â™ Even as European government's joined the U.S. in
issuing alerts and calling for increased vigilance,(Link:-
http://bit.ly/9ahPHK ) the vague nature of the warnings led
many analysts (& journalists alike) to question the validity
and usefulness of the public information.

◄►◄►▬▬▬▬▬►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄▬▬▬▬▬◄►◄►
â™  â™  â™ At all times, the battery of anonymous intelligence and
law enforcement officials quoted by news organizations on
the threat made it clear there was, in fact, no "imminent"
threat. The word "aspirational" was used many times to
qualify the nature of the alleged plot -- an effort by the
unnamed people-in-the-know to qualify their own remarks
even as they were made.
â™  â™  â™ Nonetheless, the sense from security officials,
particularly those in the U.S., was that the threat was very
real and not to be ignored.
â™  â™  â™ CBS News homeland security correspondent Bob Or
was told by multiple sources in intelligence and law
nforcement that they were more concerned about the
present threat in Europe than they had been about any
other potential danger since the 2006 liquid plane bomb plot
was uncovered.
â™  â™  â™ Those sources told Orr the threat had been traced back
to core members of the al Qaeda leadership, who have
"given marching orders" for operatives in Europe to attack
when and where they can. The plot was even approved by
Osama bin Laden himself, according to a report on CNN.
â™  â™  â™ The problem, said Orr's sources, was that the
intelligence being garnered from the field was too on-specific
for law enforcement agencies to give warnings or boost
security around any locations or infrastructure in particular.
â™  â™  â™ One Western diplomat in Pakistan told CBS News' arhan
Bokhari on Thursday that the terror alert had been triggered by U.S. intelligence officials seeing, "a convergence of information from different sides pointing towards the same
threat."
â™  â™  â™ That diplomat, who did not wish to be identified, even
by nationality, added that, "the Europeans are now seeing
where the U.S. was coming from."
â™  â™  â™ European officials -- who presumably have access to
much of the same intelligence as EU nations and the U.S.
government claim to work together to confront the threat
posed by Islamic militant groups -- have remained far less
convinced by the evidence.
â™  â™  â™ As CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reported on
Sept. 29, one well-informed British source went so far as to
tell CBS News that he'd been told by law enforcement
officials the reports of a foiled plot were, "a load of old
rubbish which have been planted to justify the increased
drone attacks taking place in the tribal areas" of Pakistan.

â™  â™  â™ Germany's Interior Minister even called the reported
terror threat to his country "hypothetical".
â™  â™  â™ None of the officials who spoke to CBS News or The
Guardian sought to downplay the threat posed by European
nationals who travel to Pakistan or other countries to be
trained by al Qaeda or its affiliates. But as the British
newspaper points out, doubts over how far into the
planning process a militant suspect was when a U.S. missile
blew him up may increase international scrutiny of the CIA's
officially-nonexistent drone strike program.
â™  â™  â™ As many as eight of the militants killed in the recent
strikes
â—„â–ºdirectly linked by intelligence officials to the European
terror threat
â—„â–ºwere German or British nationals.

â™  â™  â™  â™ Militants have set fire to at least 20 NATO oil tankers
in northern Pakistan, killing at least 3 people in the process.
Authorities say about a dozen attackers stormed the depot
where the trucks were preparing for departure. This is the
second such attack in the past few days. It comes amid
strained relations between NATO and Pakistan, stemming
from a cross-border raid that left 3 Pakistani soldiers dead.
â™  â™  â™  â™ Gunmen in the Mitri area of Balochistan's Bolan district set fire to 29 tankers carrying fuel for Nato troops in Afghanistan on Saturday, an official said, two days after the United States apologised to Pakistan for a cross-border air raid that killed two Pakistani soldiers.
â™  â™  â™  â™ Was this in retaliation for the deaths? Criticisms have been made as to the precise targetting claims, and ffectiveness of the 'drone' attacking craft. A ploy that is one of Obama's major contributions and increased reliance upon, in the war effort.
