Indian Spy Arrest in Balochistan; Rouhani in Pakistan; Brussels Attacks

[Riaz Haq]

What was an Indian RAW agent doing in Balochistan, Pakistan? How did he enter Pakistan? Was he facilitated by Iran? Why does India have a big consulate in Zahedan where few visas are issued? How will this arrest impact India-Pakistan dialog? Will Pakistan insist on ending the ongoing India-Pakistan proxy war, aka terrorism, at the NSA-level talks between Nasser Janjua and Ajit Doval?

Why is Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani visiting Pakistan? What’s on the agenda? Energy? Trade? Security? Will Pakistan and Iran have a frank dialog at the highest level on India’s use of Iranian territory to foment terror by Baloch insurgents and sectarian militants in Pakistan? What will Iran demand in exchange?

Why is home-grown terror rising in Europe? Why are young Muslims born, raised and educated in Belgium, France and elsewhere in Europe so prone to recruitment by ISIS for violence in their own lands of birth? Are the European leaders introspecting about the causes? How will they end the anger and alienation felt by European Muslim youth? What lessons can the US learn from Europe to prevent similar situation?

#Pakistan's arrest of anti-#China militant felt from #Beijing to #Tehran. "Pakistan hopes that China will put pressure on #Iran over the issue of its support of #Baloch militancy" #CPEC #SaudiArabia #India - Nikkei Asia https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Terrorism/Pakistan-s-arrest-of-ant...

Meanwhile, Imam's arrest, the details of which remain a mystery, could have geopolitical implications. Although the BNA says he was caught in Turkey, most experts and security officials interviewed by Nikkei agree he had been operating out of Iran.

Kiyya Baloch believes it is no accident that Imam's detention was announced as Beijing brokers an Iran-Saudi rapprochement. "Pakistan hopes that China will put pressure on Tehran over the issue of support of Baloch militancy through its newly formed role of a peace broker," he added.

Experts say Tehran does not consider anti-Islamabad groups enemies and sees them as potentially useful allies against other hostile groups. But Luke Przybyszewski, president of the Abhaseed Foundation Fund, a Polish group of Middle East experts, said the situation presented by the arrest of Imam has created some room for mediation by Beijing.

"It's not a black-and-white situation in which Beijing would resort to just disciplining Iran," he told Nikkei, "but rather could see this as another diplomatic opportunity to increase its regional role."

Przemyslaw Lesinski, an expert on Afghanistan and Iran at the War Studies Academy in Warsaw, said Beijing would like to see regional proxy conflicts come to an end. "We can be quite certain that China will put pressure not only on Iran but also on other [players] in the region, too," he said, suggesting Beijing would be a beneficiary of security cooperation between Tehran and Islamabad.
