Suicidal, armed to the teeth and threatening any opposition to U.S. hegemony, the extensive Western-backed Gladio network is having a field day. It seems that staging terror attacks in Tunisia, Yemen, Sweden, Denmark and Syria wasn't enough. The latest attacks happened in India and are already increasing tension between India and Pakistan - both states being Observers for Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) membership.

Two gunmen armed with Kalashnikovs and wearing military uniforms walked into an Indian police station in Kathua district located close to the border with Pakistan and opened fire. Six people died in total, including the attackers.

The following day, around 20 kilometres from the first scene of the crime, two gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades opened fire on an army camp in Samba district of the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. After a shootout that lasted several hours, both attackers were killed. Security agencies believe that the two gunmen belonged to the same group that carried out the attack on the police station.

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah reported in a Twitter post that: "If (this) is indeed a terrorist strike, it marks a sharp departure from past attacks. Two attacks in two days in (the) same area of Jammu (is) very unusual."

Since creating chaos in and around China's borders, as well as destabilizing China and its allies, is one of the goals of the U.S., it's not hard to see who benefits from the latest incident.

Beijing has stressed how important stability in Pakistan and their relations with neighbouring countries is for the upcoming China-Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC), connecting China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (which is already a target of U.S. terror operations) with Pakistan's Gwadar port.

Li Wei quoted by PTI News said, "Generally speaking, the security situation in Pakistan is very important for Pakistan for the establishment of the corridor and also the security situation in the neighbouring countries and Pakistan's relations with the neighbouring countries."

Mr. Li further added, "The establishment of the corridor will come a long way in boosting the economic and security environment in this region. There are three important countries in this region, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. So this economic corridor will exert very positive impact in boosting trade ties among the these three countries."

India is already blaming Pakistan for the incident - it seems it's mission accomplished for the U.S. terror hordes. If tensions increase even more, it could have a negative impact on China's CPEC project, and it could have an effect on SCO membership of Pakistan and India, which would thwart current Russia-China efforts aimed at bringing stability to the region. We'll have to wait for the annual meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization this summer and see what happens.

Apart from causing chaos, the favorite pastime of the current empire is, as mentioned before, nurturing terrorists. So it's not hard to guess how terrorists ended up in the region. From Afghanistan to China's Xinjiang to the Pakistani region of Baluchistan, all of these are representative of U.S. efforts to dominate the region and prevent the emergence of countries that pose a threat to Western hegemony.

One long-time MI6 asset, Omar Bakri Muhammad, would openly boast about his close ties with MI6 and his work as one of their operatives and how he helped funnel terrorists as early as 2000 to the region of Kashmir:

In 1996, Omar Bakri founded Al Muhajiroun with Anjem Choudary. According to John Loftus, a former US Army Intelligence Officer and Justice Department prosecutor, three senior Al Muhajiroun figures at the time - Bakri, Abu Hamza, and Haroon Rashid Aswat - had been recruited by MI6 that year to facilitate Islamist activities in the Balkans.

In 2000, Bakri admitted to training British Muslims to fight as jihadists in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya or South Lebanon. Recruits were "learning firearms and explosives use, surveillance and other skills" and "would be expected to join a jihad being waged in one country or another". That year, he boasted: "The British government knows who we are. MI5 has interrogated us many times. I think now we have something called public immunity. There is nothing left. You can label us ... put us behind bars, but it's not going to work."

Labour Party MP Andrew Dismore told parliament the following year about a month after 9/11 that Bakri's private security firm, Sakina Security Services, "sends people overseas for jihad training with live arms and ammunition", including training camps "in Pakistan and Afghanistan", and even at "many different sites in the United Kingdom".

Hundreds of Britons were being funneled through such training only to return to the UK advocating that Whitehall and Downing Street be attacked as "legitimate targets". Though Sakina was raided by police and shut down, Bakri and Hamza were not even arrested, let alone charged or prosecuted.

And last year, Bakri boasted, "I'm involved with training the mujahideen [fighters] in camps on the Syrian borders and also on the Palestine side. "The trainees included four British Islamists "with professional backgrounds" who would go on to join the war in Syria. Bakri also claimed to have trained "many fighters", including people from Germany and France, since arriving in Lebanon.

On the other hand, the chaos caused by the foot soldiers of the Western powers could actually be presenting a unique opportunity for China and Russia by leaving an 'opening' for both states, allowing them to do what they do best: play a role of mediator and reconciliator, establishing numerous business and energy deals in the process, as we see is happening more and more and thus effectively winning favor with states under attack by the U.S., helping to bring about the multipolar world and eventually causing the downfall of U.S. grip of the planet. In the meantime it's business as usual for the current empire - 'enjoy' the show.
