The Indian Army Announces the Death of the Pakistani Terrrorist Who Beheaded American Journalist Daniel Pearl

I sure hope the Indians gave him Due Process.

The Indian government announced on Thursday that its military had killed the Islamic terrorist who beheaded Jewish-American journalist Daniel Pearl.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India's governing party, said that the Indian army killed Pakistani terrorist Abdul Rauf Azhar in "Operation Sindhoor."
A group of Islamist terrorists, including Azhar, kidnapped and murdered Pearl in 2002. The terrorist was affiliated with al-Qaeda and Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamist terror group that aims to separate Kashmir from India and fully incorporate it into Pakistan.
Pearl was working as the South Asia bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal and was originally stationed in New Delhi. He moved to Karachi, Pakistan, to investigate terror after the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City.
On January 23, 2002, Pearl was abducted by Islamist terrorists at a hotel in Karachi. His abductors, who called themselves the National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty, accused him of being an Israeli spy and sent the US a list of demands if they wanted Pearl freed.
The US government failed to meet the demands. In a video, Pearl stated he was Jewish and had visited Israel multiple times, moments before he was executed.
...
In the BJP announcement, the party said that Azhar was involved in a number of terror activities, including the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight, the 2016 Pathankot Air Force base attack, and a 2001 terror attack on the Indian parliament.
The Jerusalem Post previously reported that the operation is targeting two main terror groups in Pakistan. Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, of which Azhar was a member.

Will there be fulminations from the Code Pink Right that the US must stop supporting India because it risks World War III? Or will they be quiet because this doesn't involve Israel?

5 In India - Pakistan warn news apparently there was some sort of aerial "dogfight" over there with up to 125 aircraft involved. I use "dogfight" with the scare quotes because neither side ventured into the other's airspace.

No, they did not actually "dogfight." They shot long range anti-air missiles at each other from dozens, if not close to 100 miles away from each other.

Pakistan is claiming to have downed a half dozen Indian Rafale or Mirage 2000 fighters. No word on how many of Pakistan's Chinese made J-10 fighters India claims to have downed.

I'm sure ISI knew where he was, just like they obviously knew were bin Laden was.

And ISI is a very close partner of the CIA and has been since the Cold War, when the CIA basically created the modern ISI in it's early years to spy on the USSR through the Soviet-Curious country of India. So we can ruminate on that one for a bit.

Yes, well, I don't know if you've been living under a rock for the past 30 years, but it turns out that much of what those "useful idiots" were saying during the Cold War was true.

As far as ISI getting one over on the US? Again? Anything is possible. But we have 19 intelligence agencies with god knows how many billions of dollars in budget, and we trained / have had historically close relationships with the ISI leadership since the 1940's. It's hard for me to believe that they hid someone who the CIA would presumably want from us for so long.

Same with bin Laden. He was found in an ISI safe house near the military academy. I don't recall us bombing the shit out of Pakistan in retribution for hiding Public Enemy #1 from us for a decade while we were futilely bombing all over Afghanistan.

So, I don't know. Maybe our intel agencies are THAT incompetent and getting played by everyone around the world. People have certainly made that accusation in the past.

Ace, if I've been consistent on one thing it's that if we're going to Make America Great Again, that means focusing on America.

And on the world stage, that means stopping these insane immigration policies that are overruning our country, and stopping these insane endless wars that do nothing but poke the various bears around the world, make the arms dealers rich, and cause all kinds of problems for US back at home in the long run (like training Al Qaeda to fight the Russians)

More bluntly: I don't give a fuck what India and and Pakistan do and they can blow each other up for all I care. That cannot and should not be the focus of our dying American empire if we hope to keep this alive. We saw what this bullshit did to the Brits. Is that what we want?

It becomes a problem when one of those branches, Judicial, can decide anything it wants, however it wants, on any subject it wants. Because of that, it seems to wield a lot more "power" than the other two branches in the scheme of things. My interpretation could be off base.

But an amphibious invasion would destroy virtually every bit of combat power they have, and leave them open to conquest by India/Vietnam/Russia/US.

John Roberts is remarkably unfamiliar with the US Constitution and federalist papers if he said that. Literally none of that is true.

Its job is to, obviously, decide cases but, in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or the executive, and that does require a degree of independence

Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at May 08, 2025 12:38 PM (i24o9)

There's no Arabs involved.

But similar to Arabs, there are about 1000 tribes who live in the subcontinent, of various religions, who speak various languages, and historically have not gotten along at all, and where only united as one (now three) countries under the British.

Do you have the time to do a deep dive in to all of that history to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong"? No, no one does. And even if you did -- who cares? They have blood feuds going back to pre-Hindu and pre-Islam days. How are we going to solve that? By arming both sides in a war? When does this end? Never?

I just ... it's exhausting.

451 Is Tillis seriously saying that nobody should have represented them?

Yeah he'd have wanted to hang John Adams for defending British troops.

452 Simon was renamed Peter by our Lord. Σίμων -> Πέτρος. There is probably some word play lost in the translation from Aramaic to Koine, but basically I interpret it to mean Simon Peter is the rock on which Christ will build His Church.

453 the rock on which Christ will build His Church.

And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Wordplay. Gates family??

460 Erick Erickson@EWErickson
I want Pizzaballa. I want him to change his name to Pope Pepperoni. I want his first edict to be that you will burn in hell for eternity if you put pineapple on pizza.

464 Harry, ace got pulled over to the "America First" side, kicking and screaming, by one Donald J Trump.

We all knew he wasn't gonna stay there.

Hold up. Ace said nothing about our being involved, just that Muslims getting blown up is a good thing. The fact that you think that's objectionable says more about you than him.

465 If I was Taiwan, I would be pretty nervous right now.
Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at May 08, 2025 12:07 PM (i24o9)

I am still shocked China didn't take Taiwan during Joey Biden's meat-puppet presidency.
Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo at May 08, 2025 12:09 PM (xcxpd)

According to long time US Policy Red China owns Taiwan already and has for decades. There is just an agreement that they will let it self administer itself.

466 The murderer of Daniel Pearl killed, thank you India.

What a shame on George Bush, what a shame on all of our agencies who were involved and did NOTHING. What a shame on us for allowing them to get away with doing NOTHING.

India, thank you. And thank you for showing the world how to respect terrorists.

467 So Prevost is a progressive. They have taken control of the Church and won't let go. Kinda like democrats in California.

468 This Code Pink Right thing...

It's wild how there's an actual position between tip toeing through the tulips with Frum and not jumping onto teams that we don't know very much about, because reasons.

469 Pakistan ISI also took part in a couple of terror attacks against India. Pakistan was much more concerned with anything India did than anything that happened in Afghanistan. That is why it was such a windfall when the grabbed the weapons at Bagram Air Base that President Biden left for them.
