“At least 15 terrorists are being specially trained in PoK for an attack on the Baglihar dam across [the] Chenab at Chanderkote-Ramban, 150 km from here,” said Mohammad Shafakat and Mohammad Adnan, the two LeT militants arrested on Saturday from the forests of the Shamashabari range in the frontier district of Kupwara, 120 km from here.
And in Yekaterinburg, where Dr. Singh met with President Asif Ali Zardari, the Prime Minister’s inadvertent remarks before the media robbed that encounter of its potential benefits even before it started. The now famous statement about his mandate being limited to discussing terrorism was drafted by National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan and was meant to be delivered in the presence of the two full delegations before the two leaders began their one-on-one. As soon as everyone was seated, the Prime Minister began speaking. But he didn’t notice the media was still in the room.
Praying for the safety and success of the oppressed Baloch people. Jai Ho.TURBAT, Pakistan — Pakistan faces yet another insurgency in Baluchistan, where local killings have provided a spark for revolt.

Transcript of interview with British Forces Broadcasting Service
The Prime Minister was interviewed by the British Forces Broadcasting Service on the topic of Afghanistan, Saturday 11 July 2009.
.................................... If we were to allow the Taliban to be back in power in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda then to have the freedom of manoeuvre it had before 2001, then we would be less safe as a country. So there is a line of terror, what you might call a chain of terror that links what is happening in Afghanistan and Pakistan to the streets of Britain. Three quarters of all terrorist plots that our security services have had to deal with and identify and then prevent have come from those mountainous areas. They have been planned there, there has been cooperation or coordination with people who are active there, and that has been the threat to people on the British streets.
So what we are doing in Afghanistan and in Pakistan, in what is a crucible of terrorism around the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, is making the streets of Britain safer as a result of taking on the Afghan Taliban and Al Qaeda and taking on the Pakistani Taliban. ………………….

This will turn out to be a rather long term problem. Young BRiets need to start some research.Schoolchildren still refuse to sing the national anthem at assemblies, instead breaking into a nationalist Baluch song championing the armed struggle for independence, teachers and parents said.
Back Our Boys
……………………. The PM was right when he said there is "a chain of terror that runs from the mountains and towns of Afghanistan to the streets of Britain."
But Mr Brown must back words with action if people are to back a war that aims to beat the Taliban……......
We must also embarrass some of our allies to play a full role instead of playing chicken.
And stop young British men with the slightest suspicion hanging over them from travelling to the terror training camps in Pakistan - by seizing their passports. …………………..

. . . the ethnic clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese could have a long-term effect on Sino-Pakistan relations. . . . the manner in which these ethnic tensions play out in the coming months could fracture the ‘all-weather’ friendship that Pakistan and China have long enjoyed.
But if a militant movement that can trace its roots to Pakistan gains momentum in Xinjiang, the ire that Beijing is currently venting on the Uighurs — by detaining 1,400 of them, closing down mosques and upholding economically repressive policies — could be unleashed on Islamabad instead.
In 2001, it was reported that up to 10,000 Uighurs had arrived in Pakistan to receive religious education. Many of these students were also believed to have received militant training and were recruited by the Lashkar-i-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen to fight in Kashmir.They continue to have a significant presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s tribal areas.
In April, Chinese officials met NWFP politicians to request that access to Uighur separatists be curtailed. China also asked for Uighur militants in Fata to be identified and apprehended. Now, a militant uprising in Xinjiang is in danger of being seen by Beijing as the consequence of Pakistan’s failure to follow through on its promises.
Under Gen Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan was able to preserve its friendship with China by addressing the Uighur problem head on. Uighurs as well as Uzbeks and Tajiks who sympathised with their pan-Turkic movement, were hunted down. From the late 1990s to 2003, Uighurs were expelled from madressahs and their businesses were shut down. In October 2004, Pakistani troops also killed ETIM leader Hasan Mahsum in South Waziristan. This aggressive stance against the Uighurs made Islamabad’s allegiance to Beijing on the Xinjiang issue clear. It also set aside any concerns that Pakistanis would want to extend a helping hand to their Muslim brothers and sisters in China.
The decision to nominate Jehanzeb Khan, currently the Punjab government’s secretary for livestock and dairy development, as the next envoy to France defies logic unless the purpose is to acquire French expertise in manufacturing cheese. . . . has been clumsily justified on the ground that he is said to be close to the brother of President Nicolas Sarkozy. The unwarranted insinuation is that the decisions of the French government will be influenced in its dealings with Pakistan by the personal relationships of the Sarkozy family.

This posting is most appropriate.

Pakistani female MP booked for stealing credit card
Islamabad, Jul 13 : Parlimentarians should be a role model for the public but it is the other way round in Pakistan with many of them getting controversial for activities incompatible to their positions.
The latest in the series was stealing of credit cards by a female member of Punjab

To me, the interesting thing is that the day this passport detaining program starts, UKstan will lose much of its vaunted moral high ground to preach to Dilli on various artificial pressure points like cashmere, terrorist rites etc. Or so I hope.Vivek_A wrote:It's a sad day for Britain when the only news outlet recommending the right thing is a tabloid.

Which is the "good Taliban" among these - from a US PoV - the Pakistani Taliban?
And, we have the Afghan Taliban's former FM stating that India should recognise them!! And, of course these are the bad Taliban from a US PoV.
And, then we have Iran - bad guys from US PoV, but good guys from Indian PoV.

Though it will be wrong to give up Tajik regions, Uzbek regions, Hazara regions, etc to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, etc. These regions with a motley of ethnicities minus the Pushtuns should be forged together as a new Afghanistan, and its security should be ensured by the neighboring countries, Russia and India. Such an Afghanistan should remain a buffer, a meeting place for the various nations. India gains nothing from giving away these areas to the respective countries, in fact only loses.SSridhar wrote:Dipanker, true (about the breakup of Afghanistan).

So now TSP has managed to pull of an equal equal on the Mumbai slaughter. Sometimes I wonder if without 5th columnists in India, in complete collusion with west as paid dogs, if US were able to commit such dayling fraud.
But western diplomats in Kabul also believed that India will, sooner than later, have to pay a price for Obama's generosity.
"A serious discussion on Kashmir with Pakistan will have to start," one western diplomat said.
"Pakistan, which is crucial in the fight against terror, should also feel that it is getting something out of this. Even though the world understands what India has gone through with the Mumbai terror attacks [ Images ], Delhi should also try and understand what Pakistan is going through internally, including on the terrorism front," the diplomat added.
Unfortunately, India cannot work with Taliban unless they form a stable govt in Afghanistan. India's relationship with Afghan people will continue in the meantime. It will try to help them as much as it can, and as much as it is allowed to.SSridhar wrote:India should recognize Taliban
