he was kidnapped in pakistan. there were about 26 people involved in his kidnapping, about the same number who are involved in mind. both of them were pakistani, however it was an al-qaeda operation. many people feel that it was al-qaeda is way financing to the world that they existed. we know that what they just did a few weeks before the 9/11, but it was in the political world, this was in the political kidnapping world, this was their way of saying we are here. they introduce a new form of political warfare. kidnappings per se started in the modern era about 1983 with hezbollah taking terry anderson, another journalist in beirut, but post-9/11 which is the focus on now, because those people, all those held by hezbollah, were never, there was never a ransom demand for any of them. they were used as pawns against the united states in france, and that also in that era was the first time of the second part or the second side to the two-sided form of political warfare and that is suicide bombing. that's when they bo

but those days are over president trump has put pakistan on notice pakistan is a sovereign state and is not in the habit of taking new taxes from anyone least to the united states. tell it was sued the retired lieutenant general of the pakistani army he told me that the u.s. is trying to pass the buck here the united states has got into the habit of making false accusations against pakistan because they want to lump their failures on pakistan they are hardly have control over fifty to sixty per cent of the territory in this town so on what basis are they talking that pakistan would be providing safe havens because there are plenty of havens in of understand itself so it's a self-defeating argument it shows the level of frustration u.s. is suffering as a consequence of its failure in afghanistan it has been seventeen years that there have been enough to run a stand and they don't have anything to say that they did something good for of understand except to bring death and destruction unless the internal situation of understanding governance improves and the people are satisfied you kn

that way is pakistan? that way is pakistan, about 70 kilometres up north. that is where the india—pakistan border is, which lies along the middle of kutch, which is a geographical valley. at nearly 500 metres above sea level, the highest point, kalo dungar hill, allows us a dramatic view of this geological phenomenon, the rann, or desert of kutch, which continues into pakistan. i wanted to get up closer to this natural wonder. it's quite incredible, the sand. i mean, it'sjust hard crystals, white salt. you can probably taste it. really unusual to see something like this. the further out i walked, the less lovely it became. it's actually quite incredible. it's more like snow or sludge than white sand or white crystals when it gets wet around here. i'm getting really deep into it. whoa! today, this shimmering wilderness is a healthy source of income for the region, thanks mainly to a three—month long festival throughout the winter. it is amazing. what was a vast, barren landscape has been transformed into this colourful complex, whereby at night, there's

>> one they wouldn't have developed the nuclear weapons if pakistan had not. they confirmed what is in my book and developed a nuclear weapon argentina would have gotten one and we would have had a nuclear device to south america. a if that didn't happen because of the amendment and the implications of it. they just didn't want to collide. they almost had a weapon both brazil and south africa have backed off. if brazil have gotten a nuclear weapon argentina would have cost him money and venezuela would have gotten one so, these things have kind of a sequential occurrence. once that happened, then indiaev developed one. between india and the united states is an arms sale agreement on our part in the assistance act for example the last trip to india was largely an arms sale. there's nothing about helping the people of india or spreading better agriculture and getting rid of the pollution. they say that it was a nuclear thing to use but they didn't resolve the liability issue and everybody knows that it will never happen and such a india is buying buying a watch

and no way easier to cross them out into pakistan than to go see them. and we had a lunch together and we spent two dayses together, and i said -- that i thought of daniel pearl when they took the knife out in my proposed execution two of them. but the big difference is and it's all of the difference in the world that i don't have a right to talk about it is that my case they put it back. but when camera was rolling and i look at the man i say okay let's do it it's you and me i thought of nicholas and danielle berk next person kidnapped after daniel pearl kidnapped in 2004 and beheaded. and so -- i began a trip because of this man in 2010 who came up to me after my book came out to go become and find out this was the first reason there are others of why danielle pearl was really kidnapped and looked deeply into his story which i didn't feel was really ever brought out in which -- i found a lot about and write about in the book. so there were multiple reasons why i went back. and there was one final reason to tell you this is that in 2012 -- i was, and as

in pakistan. the entire leadership of the taliban is in pakistan. leading figures of terrorism like osama bin laden, mullah omar, mullah ahmad mansoor they lived in pakistan, and they died in pakistan. so it goes to show where the heart of terror is. (crowd cheering and yelling) (rapid machine gun fire) (speaking in foreign language) - [narrator] the taliban, analysts say, may have links to pakistan's spy agency known as the inter-services intelligence, or isi. - i think isi has had a strong relationship with the taliban. the details of that have never been completely clear or proven, but they have the support that they have. - there are some of our leaders that believed that there was a direct linkage. in fact, not just a direct linkage, but operational guidance and maybe even operational support for certain of the taliban. you could see potentially how that could be the case, by watching the taliban operate. i could never tell if there was a direct linkage, but i had to assume that they were get

got from pakistan what they recovered or at least gave them -- or at least got from pakistan what pakistan was willing to give them from what was recovered. and i doubt that was all included in this release, would be my answer. >> sir in the front row. the microphone is heading your way. and if you could introduce yourself. >> sure. my name is david jackson. i'm a former director of voice of america. sort of related to that last question, i was curious whether you got a sense, any of you, about what percentage of this recent trove of documents has been shared over the years with america's allies. >> well, i'll take that one too, if you want. so this is a great question. couple things. one, we know the documents have been used in a number of criminal cases, including in europe and elsewhere. so some of the documents have been shared. criminal cases in germany, for example, where somebody is mentioned in the files and that file is used to prosecute that individual. but, you know, part of the reason why we advocate transparency in this regard is, we were hearing a lot of stories back in 2012

(clicking, beeping) - the real threat, the most serious one is pakistan. pakistan has an advanced nuclear weapons program, the country has an extremely unstable country, pakistani nuclear specialists like pervez hoodbhoy for example, the physicist in pakistan, have warned that the system could be penetrable by jihadi agents who are all over the place. it's conceivable that there already have been leakages out of pakistan, the khan network and the status of pakistani nuclear weapons is pretty uncertain. - a. q. khan was in a sense the father of the pakistani atomic bomb, he was not the only one, there are others but he was most prominent. he took the design of these centrifuges, these things that spin very fast to enrich uranium back to pakistan and he convinced the pakistani government to help him start building centrifuges. from there he branched out and began to sell some of his technology or exchanged some of this technology with other countries, most notably iran but also north korea and eventually libya. - [narrator] ensuring nuclear security, analyst
