عمليات الطائرات بدون طيار تعرقل استئناف العلاقات الأمريكية – الباكستانية
ذكرت صحيفة "نيويورك تايمز" الأمريكية اليوم، الاثنين، أن الولايات المتحدة وباكستان تسعيان إلى استئناف علاقاتهما المتوترة عقب عام كامل من تعرضها لأزمات خطيرة، إلا أن عمليات طائرات بدون طيار ستقف عائقا أمام هذه العلاقات.
وفى تقرير أوردته على موقعها الإلكترونى، قالت الصحيفة "إن الولايات المتحدة شنت عشر عمليات بطائرات دون طيار فى وزيرستان هذا العام، سبعة منها لحماية القوات، حيث استهدفت مقاتلى طالبان خلال توجههم إلى ساحة المعركة فى أفغانستان".
وأضافت "أنه بالنسبة للإدارة الأمريكية التى تواجه جهود حربا متعثرة وحلفاء معدومى الثقة فى أفغانستان، فإن الغارات الجوية السرية التى يقودها جهاز الاستخبارات الأمريكى (السى آى إيه)، وتستهدف شمال وجنوب وزيرستان فى شمال شرق باكستان اكتسبت أهمية جديدة".
ونوهت الصحيفة بأهمية طائرات بدون طيار، حيث إنها السبيل الأمثل لاستهداف كبار قادة تنظيم القاعدة والتى استهدفت اثنين منهم فى يناير الماضى، كما تمارس دورًا حيويًا وفعالا فى مكافحة التسلل عبر الحدود من ملاجئ حركة طالبان داخل باكستان.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن مسئول أمريكى بارز - طلب عدم ذكر اسمه - قوله "يتعين علينا حماية القوات والمعدات وجمعيها تقريبا يتكدس فى وزيرستان".
وقالت "نيويورك تايمز" الأمريكية إن عمليات (سى آى إيه) لا تحظى الآن بشعبية فى باكستان، وقد تقف عائقا خلال الأيام القادمة أمام جهود إحياء العلاقات الدبلوماسية مع واشنطن فى الفترة القادمة والتى تجمدت منذ أربعة شهور".
وأضافت "أن الرئيس الباكستانى آصف على زردارى سيعقد غدا، الثلاثاء، جلسة خاصة فى البرلمان تهدف إلى تحسين العلاقات المتوترة مع واشنطن والتى توقفت فى أعقاب مقتل 24 جنديا باكستانيا على أيدى طائرات حربية أمريكية بالقرب من الحدود الأفغانية فى نوفمبر الماضى، مما أدى إلى غضب شعبى عارم توج فترة توقف العلاقات وأيضا حملة (سى آى إيه) والكوماندوز فى لاهور، التى استهدفت قائد تنظيم القاعدة أسامة بن لادن مما أدى إلى مصرعه".
ونقلت الصحيفة عن شيرى رحمان سفير باكستان لدى واشنطن قوله "نرغب فى أن تتسم علاقتنا بواشنطن بالشفافية والواقعية".
كما يأمل مسئولون أمريكيون فى أن تمهد المناقشة البرلمانية الباكستانية الطريق لإعادة العلاقات إلى طبيعتها بحلول الشهر القادم وفك الحصار على خطوط الإمداد التابعة لقوات حلف شمال الأطلسى وتعزيز الجهود المتعثرة لإقناع حركة طالبان الأفغانية بالمشاركة فى محادثات سلام.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن نزار على خان قائد المعارضة فى البرلمان قوله "طائرات بدون طيار تقتل أشخاصا أبرياء من بينهم أطفال ونساء، ويتعين على واشنطن إيقافها".
ونسبت الصحيفة لمسئولين أمريكيين قولهم إن (سى آى إيه) يتخذ كافة الاحتياطات اللازمة للحد من المخاطر التى قد يتعرض لها المدنيون، كما أكدوا أن هذه الهجمات تستهدف وتقتل أيضا المسلحين فى باكستان.
