London, June 23: Pakistan-based militants and remnants of al-Qaeda have jointly worked out a plan to launch fresh attacks against the West and topple the Pakistan government, media reported today.
"The focus of the fighters is on hitting the Pakistani government as hard as possible, because they feel this (Pervez Musharraf's) government has betrayed Jihad and driving the US and UK presence from Muslim lands," ‘The Sunday Times’ said in a report quoting an unnamed British Muslim of Pakistani origin. The militants are getting finances from the Muslim community in Britain, the daily said in a report from Islamabad.
"The cash arriving from Britain for militant groups is one of our big concerns," a senior Pakistani intelligence official told the paper.
"Imagine what we could do if we controlled the Pakistani Army, an organised 600,000 soldiers and nuclear weapons. We could implement Islam without compromise," the non-resident Pakistanti was quoted by the daily as saying.
He said that he had delivered cash converted into Dollars – to a "remote base" two weeks ago, to fund weapons training for scores of Muslims recruited in Britain, Germany, America and Bangladesh. The daily said that he had made several trips bringing cash collected from wealthy businessmen of Pakistani-origin in Britain.
