  • Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC
    Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC Jai hind, I am CDT pathik panchal from 1.MAH.ARMD.SQDN.NCC. Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, son of Warrant Officer TrilokSingh Sekhon, was born on July 17, 1943, in Village Rurka Isewal. Ludhiana, Punjab. He was Commissioned in the Indian Air Force on June 4, J967. He won the first Param Vir Chakra for the Indian Air Force during Indo-Pak War 1971. Flying Officer Sekhon was a pilot in a Gnat Detachment based at Srinagar for the air defence Of the Valley. India was bound by an international Agreement not to base its air defence aircraft at Srinagar. Therefore, the pilots who were hurriedly Brought to Srinagar at the outbreak of hostilities With Pakistan, were neither familiar with the Terrain nor acclimatized to the winter rigors of Kashmir. Nevertheless, during the War, Flying Officer Sekhon and his colleagues fought Pakistani air raids with valor and determination. During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, he was serving with the No.18 Squadron, “The Flying Bullets” of IAF, flying the Folland Gnat fighter aircraft based at Srinagar. On 14 December 1971, Srinagar airfield was attacked by six Pakistan Air Force F-86 jets of 26 Sqn from PAF base Peshawar. Flying Officer Sekhon was on readiness duty at that time. As soon as the first aircraft attacked, Sekhon rolled for take-off as No 2 in a two-Gnat formation, with Flt. Lt. Ghumman in lead, just as the first bombs were falling on the runway. Only delayed due to dust kicked up by the preceding Gnat, Sekhon lost no time in singling out the first Sabre pair, which was re- forming after the bombing run.

  • Domestic Barriers to Dismantling the Militant Infrastructure in Pakistan
    [PEACEW RKS [ DOMESTIC BARRIERS TO DISMANTLING THE MILITANT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PAKISTAN Stephen Tankel ABOUT THE REPORT This report, sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace, examines several underexplored barriers to dismantling Pakistan’s militant infrastructure as a way to inform the understandable, but thus far ineffectual, calls for the coun- try to do more against militancy. It is based on interviews conducted in Pakistan and Washington, DC, as well as on primary and secondary source material collected via field and desk-based research. AUTHOR’S NOTE:This report was drafted before the May 2013 elections and updated soon after. There have been important developments since then, including actions Islamabad and Washington have taken that this report recommends. Specifically, the U.S. announced plans for a resumption of the Strategic Dialogue and the Pakistani government reportedly developed a new counterterrorism strategy. Meanwhile, the situation on the ground in Pakistan continues to evolve. It is almost inevitable that discrete ele- ments of this report of will be overtaken by events. Yet the broader trends and the significant, endogenous obstacles to countering militancy and dismantling the militant infrastruc- ture in Pakistan unfortunately are likely to remain in place for some time. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen Tankel is an assistant professor at American University, nonresident scholar in the South Asia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and author of Storming the World Stage: The Story of Lashkar- e-Taiba. He has conducted field research on conflicts and militancy in Algeria, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Pakistan, and the Balkans. Professor Tankel is a frequent media commentator and adviser to U.S.

  • Terrorism in Pakistan with a Focus on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Bacha Khan International Airport Peshawar
    PAKISTAN - Annual Research Journal Vol. No 54, 2018 TERRORISM IN PAKISTAN WITH A FOCUS ON KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA AND BACHA KHAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PESHAWAR * Muhammad Israr Abstract Terrorism is a brutal phenomenon; it shakes the very foundations of human society in all ages. Terrorism exists since long and put many losses to the people, property and their peaceful coexistence all around the world. Background and definition of terrorism has been discussed. Pakistan’s aviation industry has been badly affected by the scourge of terrorism. Moreover, it has its everlasting effects on the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and on the only international airport of this province i.e. Bacha Khan International Airpor,t Peshawar (BKIAP). Due to terrorism, many aspects of BKIAP have been affected and ultimately created problems for the passengers and their families. This paper aims at analysing the different terrorist’s incidents that affected badly the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Bacha Khan International Airport Peshawar (BKIAP). Key words Terrorism; Aviation; Attacks; Bacha Khan Airport; Peshawar Introduction and Background of Terrorism The word terror is derivative of the Latin word terrere, which means, to terrify. The Webster’s English Dictionary defines terrorism as “violence committed by groups in order to intimidate population or government into granting their demand”. Considering terrorism in the context of the word its existence would go as far back as recorded history itself. Both major religions of the world Islam and Christianity have used terror during their crusades against each other (Wolf and Frankel 2007, 259-260). In the 100 A.D a tribe in Israel called the zealot used the tactics of hit and run in different public places against the roman occupation.
