|* RAW-Mossad Nexus Fights Terrorism  
|
|U.S intelligence officer confirms their training in Israel
|
|A crack battalion of Indian intelligence agents back from training in
|Israel, a new found ally of India, is all set set to launch a major
|counter-terrorism offensive against separatist forces in Kashmir,
|Punjab and Assam, News India has reliably learnt.
|	India is struggling to contain terrorist activity in these
|states.
|	News of this super-secret, highly motivated force which has
|been trained by "Mossad" - the feared Israeli secret service - has
|already reached Kashmiri and Khalistani sympathizers in the United
|States, Canada and India, according to News India's sources in their
|organization.

                *part of the news deleted*

|	Though details of the exact maneuvers and counter terrorist
|operations are hard to get, the government of Prime Minister
|P.V.Narasimha Rao is extremely happy with their initial performance,
|it is said.  They differ from the old-fashioned RAW tactics of waiting
|for their prey and instead go all out in deep strikes against
|terrorists in their hideouts.
|	In a truly Israeli fashion of mixing with the crowd, the
|Tel Aviv trained Indian sleuths have dug in terrorist-infested areas
|by establishing 'dhabas' and auto workshops within the combat zones.
|They are all equipped with Israeli made Uzi guns, which can readily be
|assembled in minutes and can be hidden in air-bags or very small
|containers of food or spare parts.  They are also equipped with
|sophisticated communication equipment manufactured by Tadiran, an
|Israeli company specializing in the manufacture of these equipment,
|which can rarely be detected.
|	According to highly reliable sources, the Israelis too were
|impressed with the performance of the Indian agents after their
|training.  The Indian government as a special gesture towards the
|welfare of their families is reported to have sanctioned attractive
|daily allowance and a sizeable insurance coverage to take care of
|their dear ones in case of unforeseen events.
|	Defense Minister Sharad Pawar is being credited with the
|government's decision to train these forces in Israel.  Prime
|Minister Narasimha Rao, who was hesitant in the initial stages of
|contacts with the Israelis soon after establishment of normal
|diplomatic relations with the Jewish state said to have given a
|green signal provided the subject was not given any publicity by his
|Cabinet colleagues.
|	Though India has historically refrained from maintaining
|cordial relations with Israel, there were periodic contacts between
|RAW and Mossad since 1950s.  The first Indian intelligence Chief,
|R.N.Kao had friends among his Israeli fraternity and is said to have
|visited Tel Aviv.  The relationship is based on mutual intelligence
|sharing flourished when the threat of a Pakistani nuclear bomb became
|a reality.



        It is a very heartening news!  Specially, in view of my  
        prediction, in the wake of resumption of diplomatic ties
        between the two countries, about the impending cooperation in
        the domain of counter-terrorism activities.  But I would like to 
        see more cooperation not only in the areas of terrorism prevention but
        also defence, commerce, industry, farming etc.
        Israel has one of the best extertise in the area of desert
        farming which can enormously benefit India in turning the Rajasthan
        desert and other arid regions into green belts.  Similarly, in the
        field of jem and jewellary trading both countries can reap rich
        harvest by mutual sharing of India's cheap and skilled labour and
        Israel's well developed and highly sophisticated jem industry and
        its contact in the world market.  Also Israel made quite a progress
        in producing sophisticated defence related equipment and in electronics.
        India and Israel can take up joint ventures not only to meet respective
        defence needs but also to export to other countries.  Israel can take 
        advantage of the new liberalized economic policy to invest in Indian
        industry by utilizing the cheaper and skilled workforce there.  The
        cooperation between Israel and India could be of special significance
        considering similar background of the two countries in social, cultural and
        family values.  The cultural exchange and studies of each others' history
        and society, I'm sure will help in further understanding and appreciation
        of each countries position and dilemmas in today's world, considering
        the fact that the people of both nations carry the legacy of two of the oldest
        and most sophisticated civilizations of the world.

        At the same time I would hope that the neighbours of the two countries dont
        perceive the warming up between India and Israel as a threat, instead
        they also participate in the process thereby reaping benefit for everybody
        in the respective region.  I guess, that process has already begun in mid-east
        with the Israeili freeze in new settlements in disputed territories, Rabin's
        trip to Cairo and the willingness of the Arabs including Palestinians and
        Syrians to resume talking and to make concessions towards
        Israel.  I'd hope that countries like Pakistan and India would settle their
        outstanding disputes in the spirit of friendship and respect for the territorial
        integrity of each country with the understanding that war and revenge don't
        pay, it just goes to weaken the economy and progress of the countries and the
        real victims are the common people and the future generations.
