Publicly, the U.S. credits Pakistan with helping kill and capture many al-Qaida and Taliban leaders. Privately, the relationship is often marked by mistrust and double-dealing as Pakistan runs double agents against the CIA and the agency tries to penetrate Pakistan's closely guarded nuclear program.
Spying among friends is old news in the intelligence business, but the U.S.-Pakistan relationship is at the heart of Washington's counterterrorism efforts. Any behind-the-scenes trickery could undermine those efforts as well as the long-standing hunt for Osama bin Laden.
One recent incident underscores the schizophrenic relationship between the two countries. Last year, a Pakistani man approached CIA officers in Islamabad, offering to give up secrets of his country's nuclear program. To prove he was a trustworthy source, the man claimed he had spent nuclear fuel rods. But suspicious CIA officers quickly concluded that Pakistan's spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, was trying to run a double agent against them.
CIA officers alerted their Pakistani counterparts. Pakistan promised to look into the matter and, with neither side acknowledging the man was a double agent, the affair came to a polite, quiet end.
But the CIA became so concerned by a rash of cases involving suspected double agents in 2009, it re-examined the spies it had on the payroll in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. The internal investigation revealed about a dozen double agents, stretching back several years. Most of them were being run by Pakistan. Other cases were deemed suspicious. The CIA determined the efforts were part of an official offensive counterintelligence program being run by Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the ISI's spy chief.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 8 (CDN) — A Muslim mob in Jhelum, Pakistan murdered the wife and four children of a Christian last month, but local authorities are too afraid of the local Muslim leader to file charges, according to area Muslim and Christian sources.Jamshed Masih, a police officer who was transferred 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Gujrat to Jhelum, Punjab Province, said a mob led by Muslim religious leader Maulana Mahfooz Khan killed his family on June 21 after Khan called him to the local mosque and told him to leave the predominantly Muslim colony. Jhelum is 85 kilometers (53 miles) south of Islamabad.
“You must leave with your family, no non-Muslim has ever been allowed to live in this colony – we want to keep our colony safe from scum,” Khan told Masih, the bereaved Christian told Compass.
The attacker apparently targeted tribal elders who had come to the office of Rasool Khan, assistant political agent of Mohmand, for a meeting."Now the death toll is 65. Around 112 people have been wounded," Khan told Reuters.
Some 70 to 80 shops in the area were damaged or destroyed, Khan said. A prison building also was damaged, and some 28 prisoners — ordinary criminals, not militants — had apparently escaped, he said.

After 'water war', the 'fish war'
Reported in Daily Express ... Indian fish Goncha had attacked Pakistan and entered its rivers from the sea. Goncha was a cruel variety that ate other fish but it was particularly targeting the Pakistani fish, Kalbans and Palla whose two generations were now at risk. The Fisheries Department warned that if counter-measures were not taken the attack from the Indian fish, Pakistani fish will come to and end.

Another nugget from the Urdu press - Think they know it was an 'untouchable' defense minister in charge during the 1971 war?I was enjoying so much in London, na, hanging up with all my friends from Lahore and Isloo in their flats in Kensington and enjoying London ki dheemi dheemi si heat when suddenly the phone came and spoilt everything. It was Mummy to say there’d been bombs in Data Saab. Fifty people had died and she didn’t know how many injured.
‘Mummy,’ I said, ‘it’s very sad and all but what does it have to do with us?’
And then she said quietly:
‘Jonkers was there.’
‘Jonkers?’ I yelled. ‘Is he okay? What was he doing there?’
‘No. He’s not okay.. .’
Apparently poor Jonkers had gone to Data to maano a mannat. He hasn’t been able to find a new wife na and even though he’s tried his bestest to find a nice decent type, he’s been alone since that chaaloo cheez, that gold dogger Miss Shumaila ran away taking his Honda salon and Aunty Pussy kay diamonds. So he went to Data Sahib to ask for help. He took five thou to distribute among the poors and he took his driver because parking is so hard there, na.
Anyways, Jonkers had just entered the tomb ka area and because it was hot and Jonkers heat say used to nahin hai na, so he just gave ishara to his driver keh you go on and I’ll follow. So the driver plunged into the crowds and Jonkers was coming slowly slowly, when suddenly there was a sound like a bijli ka transformer blowing and Jonkers couldn’t remember anything afterwards. He was knocked off his feet and hit his head on the wall. Because he’s ganja the gash is very deep and he has also got con cushion and he stayed fainted for such a long time that Aunty Pussy thought he’d gone inside a comma. Anyways he’s in the hospital but his driver is dead. He was 32 years old and had three children all under seven years. His wife is 28. His name was Naeem. He was Auntie Pussy’s old driver, Saleem’s, son. He used to call pizzas pakeezas and he taught Kulchoo how to fly kites and do bo kaatas.
Night after the bombs burst we went to have dinner with Lahori friends, Billoo and Tara, who have a flat here on the back side of Shelfridges only (4 bed, 4 bath, at least 3 million quids ka) and when someone said ‘oho very sad about the bombs in Lahore’, Billoo ek dum said, ‘Yeh sub Amreekan kara rahay hain.’ Normally it’s Janoo who shouts when people say stuppid things like that but this time, I couldn’t help myself, “Yes the two bombers were blonde blue eyed baseball players from Canttucky,’ I shouted. ‘And before that the guys who killed the Ahmadis, were also Amreekans. Big black negros from Menhettan. Or were they Jews from Walls Street? It’s never us, is it? It’s always someone else.’
Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt Majeed Nizami said that a Mahabharata was in store for India when the untouchables and the Muslims will unite to finish off the Brahmans. This would be like India’s plot to separate East Pakistan through Mukti Bahini. Pakistan will use the untouchables of India to bring about the end of India.
Arrested for marrying ‘khusra’
According to Jang the police swooped down on a man in Peshawar accused of marrying a khusra (transvestite). The expensively trained police most conscientiously acted like commandos and captured Malik Iqbal, the bridegroom, his bride, Kashif alias Rani and 45 baratis (invitees to the wedding). The arrested party was brought to the magistrate under heavy guard to give the citizens a sense of security under attack from the Taliban. The police, while getting ready to save the population from the Taliban, were overjoyed to know that the khusra and his bridegroom could be given a life sentence.

Dialogue has commenced once again between India and Pakistan, let us all hope and pray that these talks do not fall victim to any mischief. International trade is a crucial activity for both countries, which some people think can be a good starting point in bringing lasting peace to the region. India is building itself as shining example of open economy with leapfrogging GDP growth rates and higher levels of investment. Foreign investors look favorably to Indian markets due to reliable security situation, consistent policies and ever-growing appetite for consumption by middle-class Indians.While the rest of the countries are jumping over one another to get a piece of the rising and shinning India's profitability , we, the most natural partners by virtue of our very close proximity (besides many other factors), are not even in line for sharing the boons of economic relationships. The most important one from Pakistan's perspective is that of textile design. Textile being the largest component of our exports makes it a strategic sector; however, it is not hidden from anyone that we have made little headway in modernising the sector. Indians, due to their superior technology background, have made progress in textile design particularly in computer-aided designing; a partnership with India can bolster this area of our traditional strength and will help us improve the share of value-added textile products in our exports. Then there are areas like energy, India is building hundreds of dams while we still don't have enough budgetary allocation for building just one Diamir-Basha dam. .
With so much benefit attached to improving economic relations, we made any progress in that direction because of inherent mistrust and enmity between the institutions of the two countries. As individuals we all want peace but the problem lies at the institutional level
At bottom, these orgies of violence have little to do with ‘causes’ and everything to do with the psychotic aberrations bred into the terrorists.....
This is a psychosis that is primarily driven by the desire to achieve an enormous degree of notoriety, posthumously or otherwise, through committing violence. If an individual is too ignorant or too unskilled or too helpless to create or build anything, he can at least establish his significance in an anonymous universe by committing a dramatic act of destruction. The fact that it is performed in cold blood, without any personal motive of acquisition or revenge, adds to the sweetness of the deed. The terrorist has struck with the impersonality of a force of nature, descending upon his victims as a cyclone or tsunami or earthquake might have....
With such an immense sense of potency proffered by modern terrorism to persons psychologically castrated by history, no other motive, no coherent political doctrine or cause or crusade, is really needed as justification.....
It needs only to be nurtured, given a ‘cause’ as some kind of spurious motivation and provided with the resources and means to kill. The establishment that runs this country chose to do precisely that, taking advantage of the Afghanistan situation in 1979 to send in the so-called mujahideen and again in 1994 to unleash the Taliban. The pretexts of fighting communism and promoting Islam were used to attract funding from the US and the Arabs for this project of achieving ‘strategic depth’ through manufacturing and mobilising human death-machines.
Secularity or secularities? —Ahmad Ali KhalidIt is my contention that Pakistan was meant to be an objectively and institutionally secular state where temporal and religious authority was to be clearly separated but where the political discourse could be determined by religious convictions in society. What is lacking in the social and media narratives of the country is any kind of historical nuance on the origins, development and nature of secularity. Many try and quickly construct neat typologies and homogenise complex events, creating binary constructs that are superficially informed.

Bagarius species are marketed fresh, and are important as a food fish, but the meat spoils rapidly and can cause illness.[7][6][8] The Goonch catfish B. yarrelli has become an object of media attention as reports have surfaced of some of these fish feeding on funeral pyres in India. There is speculation that some drownings have also been caused by large specimens who have "developed a taste" for human flesh from the corpses and subsequently have attacked bathers in the river. This is the subject of a TV documentary aired on 22nd October 2008,[9] as well as an episode of the Animal Planet series River Monsters.
