The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, the Executive Director of the US-based Kashmir American Council. After the Raymond Davis and Dr Shakeel Afridi episodes, it is very much obvious that the US policy makers’ have tried to settle their old scores with Pakistan under the cover of this arrest.
The US has sent a clear message, that if the US spies are not allowed to work freely in Pakistan. Then the Kashmir cause will surely suffer on US soil.
Whatever be the reality, the arrest of Dr Fai would add another strain to the already worsening relationship between the US and Pakistan.
US Justice Department officials said that Dr Fai was busy in efforts to push the Kashmiri cause in Washington with Pakistani funding over a decade-long. The US Justice Department alleged in a statement that Washington based Kashmir American Council headed by Dr Fai, is actually run by elements of the Pakistani government. According to FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Mc Junkin, Dr Fai and another man Zaheer Ahmad were being funded by the Pakistani government through its spy agency ISI. US Department of Justice blamed that Dr Fai’s handlers in Pakistan showered millions of dollars upon the Council to promote the Kashmiri cause among US politicians and other decision-makers in Washington.
FBI agent Sarah Webb Linden said in documents filed in federal court in Virginia, “Dr Fai has received at least $4 million from the Pakistani government since the 1990’s through Zaheer and his funding network in Pakistan. During all this period Dr Fai has received approximately $500,000 to $700,000 per year from the government of Pakistan.”

The arrest of Dr Fai in Washington is certainly a vibrant part of the same malicious campaign against the security agencies of Pakistan which started from the so-called Mumbai Attacks. Since very after the Mumbai attacks the hostile elements in USA and India have been alleging that ISI is involved in Mumbai terrorist attacks. Thanks to the Chicago Court which in the light of confession made by David Coleman Headley announced that leadership of Pakistan’s ISI had nothing to do with the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks but unluckily the perpetrators of Dr Fai’s arrest have forgotten the truth exposed by the Chicago Court.
