Its 16 December, a day which was generally mourned in pakistan, for losing one half of its terrority in 1971. Another big tragedy was waiting for this country in 16 December 2014. Six gunmen entered army school in Peshawar and massacred nearly 150 children of age 8-15 years. Its a shocking apocalyptic attack.The picture showing the dead children lying on one another in pool of blood was gruesome. What is the motive behind these terrible attacks? Why these terrorists killed the children inhumanely by shooting them in head? What is the rage behind this? To answer these questions, I have few dots.
Betrayal of Pakistan Proxies
In late 70’s when the soviet occupied the Afghanistan, a mega alliance of U.S, Pakistan, China and other U.S allies were formed. Their main motto was to drive away Soviet Union from Afghanistan for geo political dominance. For U.S, to avenge its wounds in Vietnam, it was a big opportunity so they funded heavily. Using these funds Pakistan grown some poisonous snakes namely Mujahidin in their own backyard, only to fight Soviet forces. For Pakistan it is different avenge motive as still to date their army and Intelligence agencies believe Soviet Intelligence (KGB) played a big role in split of their nation (Bangladesh). Within 10 years, Soviet Union faced decisive defeat due to superior fighting capabilities of mujahidin and tough landscape of Afghanistan. When the proxy war ended in late eighties, Pak president( at that time) Gen Zia ul Haq and ISI chief Gen.Akhtar khan felt their real time has came. They had already blueprint for their dream operation.Islamic jihadi’s now were ordered to fight in another land(Kashmir) which they dreamed to capture for last 30 years .
Here i present two proxy insurgents they were diverted for Kashmir. They initially involved in all shootings,beheadings in Indian Kashmir. Later when Kashmir conflict started to wane, they started turned against their own state and bitten them hardly.

MastGul:
Mast Gul also known as Haroon Khan was send from Pakistan as militant commander for Hizb ul mujahedeen, to fight against Indian security forces. In 1995, a famous 14th century shrine of Hazrat Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali was destroyed in an encounter between security forces and mast gul group near Charar-e-Sharif town in Budgam district (Kashmir). More than 25 dead in this 2 month siege, still Mast gul managed to escape to Pakistan Kashmir. When he arrived in Pakistan Kashmir, he was greeted with rose petals. Gul later addressed various meeting and even public rallies in places like Rawalpindi and became the ISI's blue-eyed boy. After a while, Gul vanished from the public eye with little information on about his whereabouts.
Few months back, When the Pakistan investigative agencies investigating for an attack on Shias, his name resurfaced again This time it was revealed that he is in opposite side to Pakistan. It was found that he aligned with the Tehreek-e-Taliban(TTP) and waging a war on Pakistan which loved him as its hero in 1995. Few other attacks was also attributed to him
Ilyas Kashmiri
Whenever Ilyas Kashmiri name falls in ears of any Indian army man, it is easy to notice a big anger coupled with sadness in their face. This dreaded terrorist led a brigade of terrorists to raid an Indian Army post; in return he took back to Muzaffarabad the head of one of the Indian soldier and showed it off like a trophy. According to reports that appeared in the Pakistani media at that time, General Pervez Musharraf had rewarded Kashmiri for the barbaric operation. Next day newspapers of Pakistan Kashmir published the picture of Ilyas Kashmiri with severed head of Indian soldier.
Later Ilyas Kashmiri joined with Taliban and involved in many assassination of big leaders inside Pakistan including Benazir Bhutto. One of the biggest and audacious attack he orchestrated is “PNS Mehran attack”. Pakistan Naval air arm is attacked by group of terrorists masterminded by Ilyas Kashmiri. At the end of the attack, 33 were killed that includes 18 Naval soldiers and commanders. Attack created more than billion dollar damage for Pakistan with destruction of Two American-built P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft. He was later killed in an U.S drone attack in Pakistan tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
Operation Zarb e Azb
Due to continuous attack by TTP militants towards Pakistan security forces in last few years, army establishment became impatient towards talks to TTP. With Karachi airport attack (June 2014) adding fuel to fire, Pakistan army started operation Zarb e Azb with aim of clearing militants operating in tribal areas. Similar idea was also in mind for previous army general Pervez Kayani during his time. But he was hesitant to start the operation, as he felt it will bring destruction from TTP to their own civilians. In July 2014, after safely evacuating common civilians to IDP camps, Pak army started the operation in North Wazirstan. Based on local intelligence inputs, militant infrastructure and dens were pounded with air force ammunition. Local journalists were not allowed to report the death and destruction inside war zone.
After this yesterday heinous attack by TTP, they claim that many of their children and women were killed in Pak air assault during operation zarb e azb. As per their assertions, they choose the Army school to attack their children only because of this incident
Taliban: We Slaughtered 100+ Kids Because Their Parents Helped America
Conclusion:
Attack on children is unforgivable for anybody. To avoid further blood shed inside,Pakistan should have rational approach in dismantling all terror infrastructure inside its premises. This infrastructure includes camps catered to attack India. By promoting these kind of militant camps in Eastern border and attacking similar camps in western border won’t serve peace for Pakistan in long time. i want to repeat Pak general Raheel Sharif words again
Enemy ‘lives within us and looks like us’
