In 2023, the same year Obaidullah Syed’s sentence concluded, BSI Pakistan was enlisted as a partner by Maxar Technologies. Subsequently, orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam began appearing on Maxar's portal.

Ah yes, fooling a US company especially one involved in “specializing in geospatial intelligence, Earth observation, and on-orbit servicing satellites, satellite products, and related services” (quote from wikipedia) is so easy. Both the USA and this company are cold hearted businessmen. They do not care about people dying anywhere around the world. They will sell to the highest bidder. Once again, a quote about them from wikipedia: “In early March 2025, Maxar Technologies suspended Ukraine’s access to its satellite imagery, stating that the request came from the Trump administration. Maxar had been a leading provider of satellite data to Ukraine, which the country used as part of its efforts to defend itself against the Russian invasion. The data was used to track the movement of Russian troops and assess damage to Ukrainian infrastructure.”.
