A clandestine agreement between the new Pakistani leadership and the US allows American drones to strike targets inside the restive tribal belt where suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban militants are reportedly taking shelter.
"Under this secret deal, Pakistan will keep complaining about US air strikes. It will also summon the US ambassador to the Foreign Office to register its protest, but no action on the ground would be taken," a senior official of President Asif Ali Zardari-led government told IslamOnline.net on the condition of anonymity.
The deal reportedly clinched after Zardari's first official visit to Washington in September.
"The secret accord provides new mechanics for coordinating predator attacks and a jointly-approved list of high-value targets," said the official.
Thirteen people were killed and many injured in a US missile attack on a residential compound in North Waziristan on Friday, November 7.
Local sources told IOL that most of the deceased were women and children.
Some 15 attacks have been conducted by US drones in South and North Waziristan during the last two weeks, killing over 200 tribesmen, mostly children and women.
However, US and Pakistani intelligence officials insist that some top Al Qaeda leaders, including its deputy chief of operations Khalid Habib, were among the dead.
According to Pakistani officials, Habib was killed on October 16 in a predator
strike on targets in South Waziristan.
"Now, officially, Pakistan will oppose any violation of its airspace and issue statements protesting the drone attacks, but will not go beyond that," said the government official.
Pakistan is the key supply route for US troops in Afghanistan.
Security analysts believe that if Islamabad had been serious about its protest, it would have at least threatened to halt supplies to Americans forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
Economic Price
Sources link the secret deal to Pakistan's crashing economy and dire need of financial assistance.
"The US administration has made it clear that the drone attacks are essential to get rid of Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders, who have been hiding in South and North Waziristan," said the senior government official.
"And if Pakistan doesn't allow that then it (US) will not help arrange an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan."
Pakistan is desperately seeking a sum of 5 billion dollars to avoid a default.
Government officials say negotiations with the IMF have almost been completed, and a loan will soon be issued.
Well-paced government sources say Pakistan agreed to the secret deal with Washington after the World Bank cancelled last month its 300-million-dollar loan, which had already been approved.
"It was certainly not the IMF that pressurized the World Bank. It was America that forced the World Bank to do that," said the senior government official.
But the government categorically denied any such secret deal with Washington.
"This is totally baseless," Ashfaq Gondal, the federal secretary information, told IOL.
"There is no secret accord with US. Only Pakistani forces are responsible for any action within its territory."
He insists that had there been any such deal, the president and his premier could not have protested American strikes in the tribal area.
"The president and the prime minister have continuously been condemning such attacks. They are against our sovereignty," said Gondal.
Asked why Islamabad stops at mere publicized protest, Gondal said: "I can't tell you right away what action Pakistan can take against the strikes. But I totally deny any such secret deal."
I pray that every taking of decision is upto according to Islam... There are many of corrupt leaders in Pakistan that work only for money..

When one looks at the bigger picture, it is quite clear that Allah is playing them while preparing a checkmate.
We live in a time when the leaders (wolf shepherds) are getting blindly desperate and thereby discrediting themselves, thus creating a massive global awakening and unification of the masses which inevitably demands a just global rulership.
There are only two claimants to this global rulership with nothing in between.
The puppets of the banking system (kufr) - and Islamic vicegerency (Kingdom and Rule of God on earth).
Will everyone stop and consider which will free them from humiliation and subjugation to usurpers with personal gain in mind?
The kuffar globalists are depending on deception via bald faced lies and the hope that people will be busily consumed with the rat race and debauched entertainment industry, and military might. (When ALL might belongs to Almighty God).
While the believers' camp is trusting in God and sticking to noble principles of truth and fidelity.
Shame on them. Calling themselves Muslims yet letting these evil people slaughter civilians.
there are many among muslims of present era who are by heart with kufar.these are called munafiqeen or hypocrites.they are more in number now than any time before perhaps due to nearness of dajal era.
read sura albaqra to understand this
sura albaqra (from ayat number 8)
And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not.
They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!
In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers."
Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.
And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayatin (devils - polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking."
Allah mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.
These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see.
They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).
Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allah will gather them all together).
The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.
I was just writing the following piece below in a forum.raed this.specially if you are Pakistani.it will show you how pak govt and army are aiding America /Zionists in their war against islam.
.
in quran there are atleast 10 or more times where it is clearly mentioned that if any"muslim" supports and befriends christians and jews, than he is one of them..in very few instances quran has stressed on any point so much so!this is the miracle of quran!Allah after all knew what will happen in future so quran is the book of jihad and hundreds o ayaats are about exposition of munafiqqeen among muslims who claim to be muslims but they are with kufar...and the fact that munafiqqeen will be in lower grade in hell fire than kufar.
Allah knew that in end of times christians and jews will be allies and will join forces to wipe out name of islam from planet.so these ayaats were so much repeated.
this is the miracle of quran....whoever follows quran he is victorious over his enemies no matter even if he is as poor and resourceless as taliban or isis (of khalifatul muslimeen baghdadi).and who ignores quran for material gains is humilated like our nation despite the toys of nuclear (or is it unclear lol) weapons in their arsenal.

these days American media is glorifying the American seal who supposedly killed Osama bin laden in Pakistan operation.what really happened you can have idea from an info article below
"
as for osama operation it seems that americans have taken up the habitual lying habits of their pakistani govt/establishment slaves.lol.
what happened in abbotabad after a lot of search by many sources by many channels is following.remember that this is what osama,s neighbour saw from his roof.he could not be removed from the area by pakistani /american forces in time and saw it all.
the american seal team was doing this operation with support of pak forces as general pasha (Pakistan isi chief at that time) was in this game.thats why general pasha has been awarded a high position of CIA chief in arab penisula!which pakistani before pasha was given such high post by zionists? pasha these days is heading zionists operations against isis islamic khilafat and is keeping an eye on islamists throughout aran peninsula.this meer jaafer got billions of dollars in this world but in next world what will happen to him even gives me sleepless nights!may Allah save us from meer jaafer /pasha like end!
anyway when seal team arrested osama alive they took him to helicopter to take him directly to america to be humilated like saddam husain was humilated or qaddafi was humilated before their death...but osama,s grade was too high for kufars plans to succeed.so Allah saved his honour..
the helicopter carrying osama mysteriously blasted with a loud bang.what caused the blast no one will ever know.was it some osama,s man in compound who fired a missile on the helicopter or was it some miracle of Allah the likes of which happen a lot to assist taliban etc against americans since this war started?
the blast was so big that whole area caught fire and whoever was on helicopter his body became minced meat.nothing remained..dozens of american soldier,s dismemebered bodies were seen lying on ground by osama neighbour.and with this blast they lost osama,s body also. within a month of this blast the rest of osama operation team (who was in another helicopter) also died in helicopter crash in afghanistan .
so
to hide this failure the american zionists made up this story of burial of osama at sea (after the fake photo of osama,s dead body was revealed by even the american media to be fake)...i remember when this happened how much rafawid and qadiani /munafiqeen elements in various fora were rejoicing and pasting osama,s fake dead body picture again and again.i wrote it than also that this is fake.let your heart be happy for a while as sorrows will follow you for rest of this life and next!success only belongs to true muslims who follow quran and dont befriend enemies of islam
