Mush believes Al-Qaeda's back has been broken but India worried about Al-Queda coming back with vengeance
Pakistan President General Musharraf believes that the back of Al-Queda is broken. But India’s biggest nightmare is – Al-Queda comes into power by some means toppling Musharraf and takes control of the nukes and the Pakistan military infrastructure.
Is Al-Queda really dead? Is it not a form of cancer? Like cancer it may seem that all is gone but after a while you see it is back!
The whole issue lies with the sysmpathy for Al-Queda in the Islamic world. Think about this - Abu Musawi Al-Zarkawi was injured in Iraq, treated in a hospital and is living among the Sunnis creating the insurgency movement. And all this happened with more than 100,000 US soldier in Iraq! Then how can we really assume Al-Queda is dead or its back has been broken?
India has to stay vigilant. Musharraf, after all is the blessing is disguise for India. If Al-Queda or Taliban takes control of Afghanistan, then, it will not be good for India. What wants to live next to outright terrorists who have little regard for their own lives?
For the time being though Mush is convinced that Al-Queda is permanently damaged and is on the deathbed.
According to media reports, General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's military ruler, has claimed this month's arrest of a senior al-Qaeda operative has helped to “break the back” of the terrorist organisation, severing the links between the central command and members on the ground.
In his first interview since the arrest this month of Abu Faraj al-Liby, al-Qaeda's alleged number three, Gen Musharraf said: “We have broken their back. They cease to exist as a cohesive, homogenous body under good command and control, vertical and horizontal.”
Some European security experts have been sceptical about Mr al-Liby's importance to the terrorist network, but Gen Musharraf maintained that his capture was “very significant” and that it had led to other key arrests in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.
“He is the man who was in charge of al-Qaeda operations, internal and external and, of course, on a personal basis the man who masterminded the suicide attacks on me,” Mr Musharraf, the target of two assassination attempts in December 2003, told the Financial Times.
