Pakistan and Mission Impossible

Islamabad, March 22,  2022: A new release of Mission impossible is widely circulated in Pakistan. It generates immense attention from cinema-goers and security circles because Pakistan is the focus of the movie. This comes at a time when the nation is paralyzed by a power struggle between Imran Khan and the allegedly pro Opposition Establishment.

The plot is: Hollywood star Tom Cruise along with his Mission Impossible team lands in Kashmir to stop a sinister plot.

The climax sequence of Mission Impossible Fallout is set in Kashmir, which was recreated in New Zealand.

Before Mission: Impossible Fallout, Christopher McQuarrie has directed Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation in the franchise. 

Some militants schemed to land in Siachen. Their mission was to explode a dirty nuclear bomb in the glacier to trigger a war between India and Pakistan. Fearing that Pakistan would put the blame on India and would react by firing nuclear devices on India since Operation Siachen would devastate Pakistan, the CIA sent a special team to Kashmir to foil the mission of the terrorist.

If the nuclear device is exploded in the glacier, Pakistan and India would be flooded. The polluted water with radiation would cause the slow death of millions of civilians from both sides.

radioactivity in the water would virtually kill all agricultural activities. This is the problem.

Al-Bab was aware of this mission since it was floated in 1998. However, Al-Bab decided not to quote those people behind this very serious release of what could be a disaster for billions of people living in South Asia.
