UmmahTameer-E-Nau

From 911Encyclopedia:

Ummah Tameer-e-Nau is a Taliban-friendly organisation, founded by Nuclear Scientist Sultan Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood. On the ban list of the United States since December 2001. As reported in IndiaReacts.com in early 2002, "some weeks ago Pakistan detained two nuclear scientists Bashiruddin Mehmood (Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood) and Abdul Majeed who had retired from the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) for alleged links with the Al-Qaeda. There is suspicion about the Bin Laden links of a third scientist, the so-called "Father of the Pakistani bomb", A.Q.Khan, who resigned from the nuclear establishment in March 2001..." On the website of Sultan Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood you learn more about him and Ummah Tameer-e-Nau. He brings a personal view of the history of the Taliban. Sources: http://www.yespakistan.com/afghancrisis/taliban.asp http://www.indiareacts.com/fulldebate.asp?recno=233&ctg=Defence Saturday, December 22, 2001 "...Mehmood quit the PAEC (Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission )in 1998 to protest against the likelihood of Pakistan signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and started a non-government organisation (NGO) called Ummah Tameer-e-Nau (UTeN) affiliated to the AL-Rasheed trust now banned by the US for links with Al-Qaeda. Abdul Majeed who was PAEC's chief engineer followed Mehmood to UTeN last year. There should have been an alert in US intelligence as soon as it was discovered that Mehmood had formed an NGO that was working in Afghanistan. UTeN was not an innocuous NGO. It had vowed to rebuild Afghanistan, its members were mostly nuclear scientists and Pakistan military officers, and Mehmood's religious extremism was loudly proclaimed."
