I've only know that Americans were acting sterotypically American and Durrani sb wasn't
allowed to inspect their quarters/section etc which he obviously didn't like as Commandant. And he had them booted. Idk anything else
If it's no problem, could you share some more on that. It's been so long, I think you should be good
Yea I can share now that ATAP has come to an end in Pakistan. The program you are talking about and the phadda was under the umbrella of ATAP: Anti Terrorism Assistance Program.
I am a graduate and instructor of the program so I know it very well.
The program started in 2003 to upskill and build capacity of Pakistani law enforcement ahead of SAARC conference.
The US engaged MOI and Islamabad / Sihala were chosen as ideal training centres for US DOJ trainers to conduct training and develop instructors under two programs.
VIS (Vital Installations Security)
CRT(Crisis Response Team = SWAT)
Later additional courses were added including PBI (Post Blast Investigation = terrorism forensics) and EIC (Explosive Incident Countermeasures courses = EOD Trchnician / Bomb Disposal Technician).
The problem started just before Durrani Sb took over as commandant as the head of ATAP ( an Senior Special Agent of the FBI) seconded to ATAP by the name of Richard Coates barred local staff and officers from entering the CRT training facilities citing that it was not American soil and there was a security risk - they had diplomatic immunity and basically that complex for 20 days was essentially an American base
.
Until strings were pulled at the DOS and Bureau of Diplomatic Security were asked by Pakistan to close up shop and remove their trainers and equipment. Our boys in Abpara got wind of SIGINT equipment being installed similar to the ones installed Aziz Bhatti Road (opposite PC) during GW Bush’s visit.
The FBI actually set up a massive AFIS and Digital Foresnics lab there. The forensics lab is still being used by Pakistan today.
Several Pakistani ex army wallas were booted out or exposed during this time.
Two name:
Major (actually medically discharged Captain) Muhammad Salem
Capt (r) Zaidi - MD Interrisk
The the case of RD and Bradley was made open in the press and the can on works was opened. Durrani SB played a vital role in exposing this.
@villageidiot if this sort of business interests you I have posted a detailed post about it here:
