Press Release
Those Responsible for Furthering the American War in Pakistan should be on Trial for their Crimes Lal Masjid Operation was part of America's War on Terror

The Supreme Court of Pakistan announced the formation of a judicial commission to take responsibility for those who were responsible for the casualties during the siege and raid on the Red Mosque. The court ordered the formation of the commission while it was aware that then DG ISI and present Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani was one of the key players who played an instrumental role in the Lal Masjid massacre on the orders of his former boss General Pervez Musharaf. The Lal Masjid Operation was a turning point in Pakistan's role in the War on Terror. This was the start of a series of military operations that dragged the Pakistan Army in to a War of Fitna by traitors within the military leadership. The brutal manner in which the operation was conducted, stoked the flames of anger and rage in the tribal areas of Pakistan and the operation served as a fuel for igniting America's War of Fitna in Swat and later in FATA.

In the immediate aftermath of the Lal Masjid operation, Musharaf ordered an increase in the number of soldiers in Pakistan's tribal areas, escalating the confrontation in these areas and setting the stage for bigger military operations. On 12 July 2007, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Richard Boucher, while congratulating Musharaf on the Lal Masjid Operation declared, "This is the vision for Pakistan that President Musharraf has articulated and demonstrated by reiterating his resolve to stop Talibanization in the frontier areas as well as extremism within urban areas such as the Red Mosque compound. It is strongly in the US national interest that Pakistan succeeds in realizing this vision."

After the downfall of Musharaf, General Kayani took it upon himself to carry on the vision articulated by Richard Boucher and led the Muslim soldiers of Pakistani military in to Swat to fight their own brothers in an operation which led to the displacement of almost 4 million Muslims, the largest internal displacement suffered by the citizens of Pakistan since its creation. Since then tens of thousands of civilians and military personnel have died in a war financed by American dollars and aimed at securing American interests in the region. Even when the Supreme Court ordered the formation of the judicial commission, General Kayani and Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar were in Brussels pledging their support to their Western masters and ensuring Pakistan's continued support for this murderous war and ensuring the continuation of Richard Boucher's vision for Pakistan.

This is the vision of America for Pakistan, which was religiously implemented by its slave General Musharaf, and which continues to be implemented by America's Guardian in Pakistan General Kayani. Hizb ut Tahrir advocates an alternate vision for Pakistan, where Pakistan's armed forces will be used to protect its own people and refuse America's bidding in the region. Where Pakistan's Armed Forces, together with their brothers in the Pashtun areas push America out of this region and annex Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia into a single Islamic state; the second Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah. The Khilafah "Caliphate" which will liberate Kashmir from the clutches of the Hindu State, which will implement divine laws on its citizens and which will unite the resources of Muslim lands for the benefit of its own people. O People of Nussrah! We ask you then, which vision do you support? General Kayani's vision or Hizb ut Tahrir's vision for Pakistan?
