The mere fact that Indian soldiers are wearing a blue helmet doesnt change a thing in regards to the situation between Pakistan and India. Upholding the national security of Pakistan is the prime concern for Pak security forces and if it means keeping out u Indians, from our airspace, for whatever reason then so be it!!

Pakistan has the right, being a sovereign nation, to deny the passage of any plane over its airspace, even if they are wearing blue helmets!!!!! India doesnt rule the subcontinent just yet Raj, so drop the arrogant attitude!

RajKumar - Let me give you a better one.
How about maybe an unarmed propellar plane, carrying 17 trainees.

I hope not. I don't know if Pakistani troops on UN duty have ever gone through Indian air space. I cannot think of a instance but I could be wrong. If GoI has ever done this then IMO it was very stupid. I think people need to distinguish between UN peace keeping duties and attack by enemy forces.

Pakistan has the full right to allow access or not to allow access to her airspace but if Pakistan has a new policy in place then it should have refused the flight plan as soon as it was filed by the pilot. Why wait till 10 minutes before the plane is due to enter the airspace? This looks very reactive to me.

I also don't understand the reference to propeller driven aircraft by other forum members.

The time I am talking about,and probably you were not born, and if you were born thru the tragic times of 1971, you may be running around in your Kachha somewher in TamilNadu.:D :) :D :)

Your very own Indian govt blocked PIA interwing flights which Pakistan had rights to overfly thru internaional conventions and laws for some goddamn excuse and logic given by your own Prime minister Indira Gandhi.

What do you say to that? And don't come back with your twisted logic laced with crap to justify your govt actions why and what happened 30 years ago :p :p. I know all about that and I will give you an earful(to take the wax out)in case you dare:D :) :D

cheers

Brittish Intelligence dismisses Indian BS

London, Dec 7

British intelligence have dismissed a confession by a suspected al-Qaeda follower held in India that the network planned to crash aeroplanes into the British parliament, the Daily Telegraph said Friday.

Authorities in India alerted Britain, the United States and Australia after arresting a trainee pilot who said al-Qaeda had sent suicide squads to all four countries, Bombay's police commissioner said Friday.

The paper said suspect Mohammad Afroz Abdul Razzak was alleged to have claimed eight people planned to hijack flights from London to Manchester, England, on September 11 and crash them into parliament and London's Tower Bridge.

But British intelligence sources told the daily they had investigated and ruled out many of the allegations against Razzak, and one source suggested his confession may have been coerced.

Indian intelligence has been "peddling a lot of funny stories" in recent months, the source told the Daily Telegraph.

Razzak was picked up by Mumbai police on October 2 and formally arrested a day later.

Scotland Yard told AFP that it was in contact with India's High Commission in London over the matter and through it with police in India.

Britain's Channel 4 News reported that Razzak joined the Cabair college of air training in Bedfordshire, central England, at the end of August, apparently paying a sizeable deposit for a year-long residential course.

He failed to turn up for classes on September 17 and was reported to police as a missing person.

Graham Austin, Cabair's chief executive, said: "It is an unpleasant set of circumstances to face, that you may have had a hand in training somebody who had such questionable intent."

The al-Qaeda network, led by wanted militant Osama bin Laden, is one of the targets of a two-month-old US bombing campaign in Afghanistan launched after the hijacked plane attacks of September 11 in New York and Washington.
