Women suicide squad arrives

Published November 15, 2002

ISLAMABAD, Nov 14: In connivance with the Indian diplomatic staff in Zahidan, the Iranian Sepah-i-Pasdaran have launched “4 X Pakistani women to Pakistan” to hijack a passenger plane, highly-placed sources have revealed.

According to the plan, these women would hijack a domestic airliner from Karachi airport, preferably one carrying a VIP.

Sources add that some officials at Karachi airport would assist them in boarding the aircraft. “These women would tie a bomb on their bodies and take the aircraft to Kabul or some Indian city, “ sources added.

Reportedly, they intend exploding the bomb at the airport if they fail to board the aircraft.

These women are said to be wives of those Pakistani Al Qaeda activists who were killed in operations in Pakistan. During the crackdown, these women had somehow managed to escape to Iran.

Reportedly, exploiting the grief and sorrows of these women the Sepah wasted no opportunity in launching them against Pakistan.

Subsequently, they were trained on ‘Asman Airline’ aircraft in Esphahan.

After training, these women, aged between 30-35, entered Pakistan illegally to carry out their suicide mission. They are fluent in Urdu and English.

Sepah-i-Pasdaran has been providing training to Al Qaeda persons and launching them into Pakistan. It had used female suicide bombers in Israel too.

The sources feel that if this plan was executed it would give an impression to the world that Pakistan was a breeding ground for terrorists where a number of women squads of terrorists were also active.

There is a strong possibility that these women could try to hijack some foreign airliners as well.

Sources said that the entire plan had been orchestrated with the help of the Indian diplomatic staff in Iran, especially Shri Mahajan, the Indian Consul in Zahidan. —APP
