Last week, President Asif Zardari, who is never still, called up Gen Kayani to ask if his preferred candidate for the next Prime Minister, Makhdum Shahabuddin, was acceptable to the brass. The call was necessary in light of the military-run Anti Narcotics Force's unfolding "get Shahabuddin" operation. The considered response came a couple of hours later: take whatever political decision you deem fit but "we don't want to get involved" in political matters. Mr Zardari took that as a diplomatic NOC and gave the green light to Mr Shahabuddin. In the event, however, he had to retreat in a blaze of ignominy next morning when the ANF pitched a tent outside the PM-nominee's house, brandished handcuffs and served warrants on him.

Coalition and Afghan special operations forces killed the leader of the al Qaeda-linked, Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, or Army of the Pure, during an airstrike yesterday in the remote eastern province Kunar.Khatab Shafiq, "the LeT's [Lashkar-e-Taiba's] senior leader in Kunar province," and numerous "insurgents" were killed during two airstrikes in Kunar's Watahpur district yesterday, the International Security Assistance Force said in a press release. "[T]he security force engaged the insurgents with a precision airstrike away from all civilian structures," ISAF said. "After the strike, the Afghan and coalition security force conducted a follow-on assessment and confirmed Khatab Shafiq, along with multiple other insurgents, had been killed." The special operations force directed a second airstrike after identifying "several more armed insurgents in the immediate area." ISAF said that no civilians were killed in either strike. Shafiq's "country of origin was Pakistan," a spokesman for ISAF's Joint Command Media Operations told The Long War Journal.ISAF said that Shafiq "was responsible for several attacks against Afghan and coalition forces, and provided money, weapons and training to insurgents in the region." He also "established multiple insurgent training camps in eastern Afghanistan, where insurgents learned how to use mortars, rockets and machine guns. Most recently, he was involved with teaching insurgents how to build and emplace improvised explosive devices."

NEW DELHI: After the arrest of 26/11 handler Abu Jundal, India is on the verge of another success in Saudi Arabia having convinced the authorities there to deport Bihar engineer Fasih Mahmood, accused of carrying out terror strikes in India and recruiting youths for terror-related activities.

Highly placed sources in the government said India issued an identity certificate to the Saudi authorities for Fasih last week after Pakistani agencies too laid claim by stating that Fasih had a valid Pakistani passport. Pakistani agencies had made a similar claim for Jundal.

Sources said US pressure helped in swinging the case in India's favour.

Another suspect to be deported with Fasih

Saudi authorities said they had the option of ignoring the identity certificate issued by India through the ministry of external affairs for terror suspect Fasih Mahmood to counter Pakistan's claim that he was a Pakistani national. Sources said that US pressure helped swing the case in India's favour. In fact, it was Washington that had worked on the Saudis to get Fasih detained in the first place.

It is also learnt that the Saudis have agreed to deport another Indian terror suspect along with Fasih, but his identity has not been confirmed yet. Indian authorities suspect Fasih is linked with Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal, leaders of LeT proxy Indian Mujahideen (IM).

Sources say the two absconding terrorists won Fasih over when he was studying engineering in Karnataka. The engineer from Bihar's Darbhanga district has since tried to find new recruits for LeT plots. A CBI team is likely to be sent to Riyadh to bring him back.

Sources said they had to face stiff opposition from Pakistani agencies bent on proving that Fasih was a Pakistani national. He was even said to have a passport issued from Lahore. "Fasih was obviously in regular touch with agencies in Pakistan which tried to protect him," said a source. Pakistani agencies apparently wanted Fasih to be either released or sent to Pakistan.

Indian agencies said his interrogation will be crucial because as a prime recruiter for terrorist activities in India he has knowledge of several sleeper modules operating across the country. "Keeping that in mind he is no less a catch than Jundal," added the official.

According to the Interpol Red Corner Notice issued for Fasih, his name surfaced in the Pune's German Bakery blast case followed by the Chinnaswamy Stadium blast in Bangalore. The notice says that he has been a member of Indian Mujahideen since 2003. He is alleged to have been involved in the 2010 Jama Masjid blast and shootout cases.

“If we want take advantage of the trade incentives offered by the EU we must invest heavily to expand our capacity, diversify our products and improve the quality of our exports,” argued a leading yarn producer from Lahore.

“The textile producers are ready to invest $5 billion in next five years if they ate assured of continuous supply of gas and electricity to run their factories,” he claimed.

1.Financial emergency: The State Bank of Pakistan’s foreign currency reserves are falling as bricks fall through clear water. The SBP is losing some $10 million dollars a day every day of the year. In the following 12 months, our current account deficit is projected to be $5 billion and debt repayments amount to an additional $5 billion. We must raise $10 billion in foreign loans or the SBP goes belly up.

2.For the first time ever the government of Pakistan (GoP) is printing an additional Rs300 crore a day every single day of the year; the GoP would print more only if there was enough electricity.
3. American Express has run away. HSBC is running away. Citibank has sold off its various business units.
4.For the first time ever, four out of 10 Pakistanis are managing to survive below the poverty line.
5.Forty percent of all Pakistani children are now underweight. Imagine: 6 out of 10 children are affected by stunting .

[LAHORE: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf said on Saturday his government would not let its “first-class president” to surrender to a “third-class magistrate” because “we believes in supremacy of the constitution and law”.“He (Asif Ali Zardari) is the democratically elected president of Pakistan and as per law he enjoys the immunity as long as he holds the office,” the prime minister told reporters. About the Supreme Court’s directive to write to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against the president, the prime minister said he would announce his decision on July 12, the next date of hearing at the court.Raja said there would be no problem if all the institutions function within their constitutional limits and domains.
“The institutions should work within their constitutional ambit and let the people decide about the future of the democratically elected government,” he said during a meeting with senior columnists and editors at the Governor’s House.
Raja urged all the stakeholders to respect the constitution and work within the constitutional parameters in order to avoid instability in the country. The prime minister said he was willing to talk to the PML-N over the appointment of chief election commissioner (CEC), adding that he was optimistic that the opposition party would respond positively on the issue.“I respect the PML-N leadership and mandate of the Punjab government,” he said.He said that although his statements in the past about ending load shedding were still hounding him, it was fact that the government had been doing its best to end this menace “as soon as possible”.He said that due to high prices of oil in the international market, the cost of electricity had been increased in Pakistan.About the law and order situation in Karachi, the prime minister said that it was a provincial matter but his government would extend help to the province if it asks for it. The prime minister said the PPP had not stepped back from its stance on the creation of a separate province for the people of southern Punjab.

Highly placed sources in the government said India issued an identity certificate to the Saudi authorities for Fasih last week after Pakistani agencies too laid claim by stating that Fasih had a valid FORGED Pakistani passport. Pakistani agencies had made a similar claim for Jundal.

Also, if that be true (PA giving up jihadis), there would surely be retaliation from the affected jihadi group - IMO of course.

A new book is about to hit Pakistani shores that will elicit howls of anger and we-told-you-sos through gritted teeth in certain quarters.

It’s not so much what has been written but who has written it: David Sanger, The New York Times Washington correspondent more plugged in than most to the US national-security establishment.

Sanger’s words carry more weight because he has both access and insight, and what he has to say about debates within the Obama administration on Pakistan will not go down well here.

Put on your best Pakistan-lovin’, everyone’s-out-to-get-us, the bomb-will-keep-us-safe, we’re-a-fortress-of-Islam hat and sample these words from Sanger’s ‘Confront and Conceal: Obama’s secret wars and surprising use of American power

“So three years into [Obama’s] presidency, the arguments over how to deal with Pakistan still rage. ‘On this issue, more than any other, you get such disparate accounts from different parts of our government,’ one senior State Department official conceded to [Sanger]”.

Those three facts combine to produce something akin to an opportunity for Pakistan: set our house in order for our own sake and the outside world will respond positively.

But the problem with irrationality, emotionalism, paranoia and stubbornness is that opportunities are obscured by ever-present threats, sometimes real, often invented.

The Americans think Pakistan and its army worry about the Fourth Betrayal — a repeat of 1965, 1971 and 1989 when the US either turned its back on Pakistan or refused to help.

But we may already be beyond that; we could be in the realm of the feared Final Betrayal — a Pakistan neutered of the one element that supposedly guarantees its survival: its nuclear programme.

As Sanger claims, one of the first things Kayani did in the aftermath of May 2 was to move around the components of the nuclear arsenal — just in case the Americans tried to take it out.

Sanger's second book Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and and Surprising Use of American Power (Crown, June 2012) is an account of how Obama has dealt with those challenges, relying on innovative weapons (such as UAVs and cyberwarfare, such as Operation Olympic Games) and reconfigured tools of American power.[4]
