Communication Through Coded Langauages Terrorists over the years have used coded languages and covert people

for their actions. The code was certainly to be understood by the parties authorized to share the information. But now such coding is out in the court and is interpreted to cause havoc. The Kashmiri separatist Ghulam Nabi Fai was pleaded guilty on Wednesday to charges of spying for the ISI-the Pakistani intelligence agency and illegally convincing USA to change their policy for Kashmir. He sent coded documents to his handlers in Pakistan regarding money transfer matters to deceive the American authorities, declared a court. ISIs Security Directorate was referred to as the library in Islamabad and the phrase 'half a dozen Brylcreem' denoted a sum of USD 60,000. So, if "The library in Islamabad" was the code for the ISI's Security Directorate, "157 page draft" was the code language for USD 157,000, says the court documents now part of the plea agreement between Fai, 62, and the US Government. In his communication, "Seeing the doctor" referred to seeing (Zaheer) Ahmad, and was regarding money. The phrase "visiting the doctor" was coded language for "arranging money to be sent by Ahmad to Fai," and that the reference "1:50" represented the amount USD 150,000," it said. Federal prosecutors said that Fai, between 1990 and 2011, received more than USD 3.5 million from the ISI with Ahmed being the medium. During one of the transfers of money, "fifteen copies" was the code for USD 15,000 and "two" meant USD 200,000. "On August 30, 2009, Khan e-mailed Fai that Khan 'saw the doctor' and that '(the doctor's) consultation fee has increased by rupees 150'". It was clear that the American authorities would be disgusted and angry at the activity and hence for a long time coded languages for exchanged convincingly. Under the plea agreement Fai pleaded guilty to the two charges against him -- concealing from US authorities that he was acting on behalf of the ISI and the Government of Pakistan and secondly violation of tax laws.
