On June 7, while hearing the case, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry had asked ANF officials why they had not yet arrested Shahabuddin for his alleged role in the ephedrine case. The arrest warrant was issued within an hour of Shahabuddin submitting his nomination papers to contest the elections for prime minister of Pakistan. The PPP has already announced that Raja Pervez Ashraf, former water and power minister who is also implicated in several cases, will be their alternative candidate in case Shahabuddin is unable to contest tomorrow’s election.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has named Textiles Minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin as candidate to become prime minister, state media say.

State TV said that another minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, would be offered as a "covering" candidate in case the textiles minister was rejected by MPs.

The people of Rawalpindi were warned on Thursday that the Khanpur Dam could provide water only until July 1, if there were no rains.

The perpetrators of the Bengali genocide never learnt anything from history. This time the playing field is Balochistan and the targets are Baloch intellectuals

the perpetrators of the Bengali genocide never learnt anything from history

Since June 2010, more than 500 Baloch have been either killed and dumped or targeted in hit and run attacks.

Is this the last brutality? No, and neither is it the first one. The Baloch nation has developed an acquaintance with these brutalities since March 27, 1948, and there seems to be no ray of hope. The Khmer Rouge of Cambodia has reincarnated in the shape of the intelligence agencies and their collaborators in Balochistan. The day is not far when every person with a surname Baloch may be killed.

A review would be incomplete without some brilliant "quotable quotes" that could themselves summarize Pakistan.

"Pakistan is a state hopping on one strong leg" (Page 128).

"About the only exportable human asset that Pakistan has in abundance is "boots on the ground"" (Page 235).

"The bomb confirmed the sought-for image of Pakistan as combining Islam and technology, never mind that most of the technology was either stolen from a European nuclear facility or provided by China" (Page 80).

"Pakistan's army is strong enough to prevent state failure, but not imaginative enough to impose the changes that might transform the state" (Page 274).

"Pakistani officials like Pakistani beggars, become alert when they see Americans approaching" (Page 327).

"Pakistan now negotiates with its allies and friends by pointing a gun to its own head" (Page 270).

Professor Michael Witzel of Harvard University had also began work on the same project but after the death of Dr Dani, the work was then offered to Professor Skyhawk who has now completed it, in collaboration with Professor Witzel at Harvard and Professor Butrus in Germany.

While many policymakers and analysts are willing to bank everything on the gamble that Pakistan is too dangerous to fail, we should be willing to consider what failure would mean and the inherent costd snf {sic} benefits of this happening. After all, when the Soviet Union fell, none of the worst fears materialized. And Pakistan is hardly the Soviet Union.

the deal should address Pakistan's chief concerns. Pakistan fears that the United States -- perhaps in consort with India and Israel -- seeks to dismantle its nuclear program. Such a deal would formally recognize Pakistan's nuclear status and reward it for the considerable progress it has made to enhance its arsenal's security since 2002.
