The Country Terrorism Report published by The US seems more led by an Ulterior Agenda, as the report ignores the wolves and castigates the sheep when it comes to deciding who sponsors terrorism and who doesn’t
But the most hilarious part is that the report ignores Pakistan in this “state-sponsored terrorism” group. While Pakistan has refused to hand over the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack suspects to India despite being provided with enough evidence against Hafiz Saeed (leader of Jama’at-ud-Da’wah), many US government representatives have many a time acknowledged and accepted that Pakistan as a nation has sponsored terrorism for long. But the report presumably doesn’t accept that premise.
As per the report, 75% (of total 11,500 attacks & 13,200 deaths) of terrorism attacks and deaths occurred in South Asia. But irrespective of that, no South Asian nation has been accused of being a “state sponsor” of terror or has been reported for not coordinating in counter-terrorism activities.
Cuba as a nation has a relatively “unblemished” record for fighting terrorism – few globally would debate that. Similarly, Sudan has worked as a cooperative partner in global counterterrorism efforts against al-Qaeda in 2010 but still appears on the list. The Venezuelan government officially “rejected” the report describing it as “plagued with false affirmations, political preconceptions, and veiled threats.” Its Foreign Ministry states that “the US State Department tends to classify as ‘terrorists’ or ‘complacent with terrorism’ those governments and political organizations that do not bow down in the face of its imperial intentions.”
Looking at the fine print in the report, that allegation does not appear to be too far off the mark.
