India strikes Pakistan with what has been described as a “highly accurate” missile attack on nine training, indoctrination and fundraising camps belonging to various terrorist organisations. This time, it strikes at the heart of the country, in Punjab, with an unprecedented attack: two of the main sites hit, Muridke and Bahawalpur, are in fact located just a few kilometres from Lahore. Following a well-established script, Pakistan first denies, then admits that some sites have been hit, and finally declares that “there are no terrorist camps in Pakistan” and that India has hit mosques and hospitals full of civilians. Unfortunately, this morning in Muridke, in the presence of deferential members of the army and the ISI, the funerals of some thirty fighters of Lashkar-e-Toiba, the terrorist organisation that runs the “Markaz Taiba” complex, were held. a complex which, in addition to training and indoctrination camps, includes a mosque, schools, a hospital and other health facilities, as well as residences and agricultural activities. All these facilities are managed and used by Jamaat-u-Dawa, the “charitable” organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba led by international terrorist Mohammed Hafiz Saeed. In theory, both LeT and JuD were outlawed in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. In practice, the organisation still runs Markaz Taiba, but the complex is formally funded with public money from Punjab taxpayers. The Shawai Nallah camp in Muzaffarabad and Markaz Ahle Hadith in Bhimber, both in Pakistani Kashmir, which were hit last night, also belong to LeT. In the same region, India also hit two camps of Hizbul Mujahideen, another jihadi organisation, in Sialkot and Kotli. In Bahawalpur, a stronghold of Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Markaz Subhan Allah was hit, which Islamabad claims is a mosque where women and children were staying (at night...). Unfortunately for the official version, the head of JeM himself, Masood Azhar, denied this, stating that he had lost a dozen members of his family and four associates in the attack. And no, they were not civilians: JeM is in fact a shining yet implausible example of a family-run terrorist-mafia organisation. The Azhar family, brothers, nephews, brothers-in-law, wives and children, run all the organisation's activities. Among other things, at Markaz Subhan Allah, where expansion and fortification work has been ongoing since 2002 (i.e. since Pakistan was removed from the “grey list” of the Financial Action Task Force), a pleasant meeting was held last April, a few days before the Pahalgam attack: attended by senior JeM officials and four members of Hamas (including the head of Iran, Khalid Qaddoumi), who were welcomed with a triumphal parade. The Subhah Allah complex is located just eight kilometres from a military base and it appears that, in addition to the Prime Minister of Pakistani Kashmir, the ISI, the military intelligence service, also attended the meeting. The same ISI that on 5 February blessed a conference in Muzaffarabad stadium entitled “Kashmir Solidarity and Hamas Operation Al Aqsa Flood”: again, senior figures from LeT, HM and JeM were present, as well as Hamas's jihadi brothers. This circumstance coincides perfectly with Pakistan's attempt to internationalise the so-called (and now defunct) “Kashmir issue” and to draw at least risky parallels between the Indian state and Palestine and between Israel and Hamas. On the other hand, the narrative used by the Pahalgam terrorists, who massacred civilians on religious grounds, calling them “settlers”, was not dissimilar to that of Hamas. This would be somewhat laughable if it were not such a tragedy, especially considering that Pakistan itself, founded in 1947, was established by “settlers” from all over India.
