Bush in talks to prepare for military response
ISLAMABAD, Sep 15 (uni) Preparing for an assault on Afghanistan, a
contingent of US marines and the FBI
officials have landed in Pakistan for launching 'target-oriented' operation
against Saudi fugitive Osama Bin Laden, prime suspect in black Tuesday
string of attacks on the United States.
Leading Pakistani daily 'The News' reported today a contingent of the
special services group of the US marines (green seals) and the FBI
officials landed at the Islamabad International Airport at wee hours yesterday.
A military plane brought the us troops to Islamabad, who were later taken
to an unknown place, the paper said.
The airport remained closed from 0300 hrs to 0500 hrs on Friday
morning which according to the paper was
the time of arrival of US troops.
Senior Pakistani official confirmed a military movement was going on at the
airport during its closure.
There is a normal schedule of such type of exercises, and one should not
worry about it, the official said.
The green seals are the latest version of super-trained, highly
sophisticated, armed with hitech weaponry and
aided by satellite-guided navigation commandos, who are given special and
difficult assignments.
According to the paper, it was perceived that the elite green seals would
change the mode of their action in case of missing bin laden. They would
spread across Afghanistan, sniffing on Osama's whereabouts. And in the
event of detection, they would guide the us navy aircraft in the possible
airstrikes, the paper added.
It said there were speculation that the green seals would also conduct a
quick survey of the region before an
anticipated attack on a larger scale, if, at all, required.
The green seals have conducted joint exercises with the Pakistan ssgs on
multiple occasions on the pakistani
soil since 1998, when the US first planned to hunt down Osama. These
exercises were reportedly conducted in cherat, attock with a specific view
the terrain was similar to the Afghanistan's terrain, the paper said.
United States President George W Bush was on Saturday huddled in high-level
talks with his top advisors at
Camp David to prepare military response to Tuesday's terror attacks.
The meeting with Secretary of State Colin Powell, Defence Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld and national security
adviser Condoleezza Rice followed the authorisation by the Congress to the
President to use all necessary and appropriate force in retaliation.
Bush is expected to use his regular Saturday radio address to move away
from healing touch to harsher language that educates the public about the
struggle that lies ahead.
Bush has already declared a national emergency and given the military the
authority it needs to call up 50,000
reservists. The Pentagon has said the first 35,000 reservists to be called
up - including fighter jet pilots and
crews - would be for homeland defence - to protect US cities. They will
include 13,000 airmen, 10,000 army
soldiers, 7,500 marines, 3,000 navy personnel and 2,000 coastguard troops.
Bush travelled to Camp David for Saturday's decision-making meeting after
making his first visit to New York
since the disaster. He addressed rescue workers through a loudspeaker, with
his arm around a firefighter. As
some of the crowd shouted that they could not hear, he replied: I can hear
you and the rest of the world hears
you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
