Mahdi-endra - what a wonderful legal point you have highlighted! I am sure the Supreme Court will like that argument and throw out the case. Maybe they should have charged the women of leading an immoral life with no male husband/ father/ brother/ son to chaperon them; now that the Sheikh has gone deep sea fishing by himself.

Today the spokesman for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan threatened that the group would "carry out suicide bombings against security forces and the government" if Osama bin Laden's three widows are not freed from custody. Also today, seven Pakistani troops were killed in an ambush in North Waziristan.
The Taliban's demand to the Pakistani government comes just one day after Pakistani officials announced that bin Laden's three widows would be charged with illegally entering the country, and face a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted. Pakistan said bin Laden's children would not be charged and are free to return to their home countries, however."If the family of Osama bin Laden is not released as soon as possible, we will attack the judges, the lawyers and the security officials involved in their trial," Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan told Reuters. "We will carry out suicide bombings against security forces and the government across the country."The three women, a Yemeni and two Saudis, had illegally entered Pakistan and accompanied bin Laden at various times as he lived in Pakistan for a decade after the US invasion of Afghanistan. According to a retired Pakistani general who reviewed interrogations of bin Laden's wives, the al Qaeda leader lived in several Pakistani towns outside of the tribal areas after leaving Afghanistan, The Associated Press reported.
The same day that Ihsan issued his threat, seven Pakistani troops were killed in an ambush in Khar Qamar near Miramshah in North Waziristan. The Taliban opened fire on a Pakistani convoy with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, killing the Pakistani troops, AFP reported. The military claimed it killed nine Taliban fighters while returning fire.The attack in North Waziristan violates a peace agreement that was forged last year between the Pakistani military and the Shura-e-Murakeba, an alliance of four major Taliban groups in North Waziristan. The four groups that make up the alliance are the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, which is led by Hakeemullah Mehsud and his deputy, Waliur Rehman Mehsud; Hafiz Gul Bahadar's group; Mullah Nazir's group; and the Haqqani Network. Each leader has appointed a deputy to represent them on the council [see LWJ report, Al Qaeda brokers new anti-US Taliban alliance in Pakistan and Afghanistan].

Unmanned US Predator or Reaper strike aircraft killed 13 "militants" in airstrikes in the Miramshah and Mir Ali areas of Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of South Waziristan today. The strikes broke a two-week-long lull in US attacks in the tribal areas.The CIA-operated drones fired a pair of missiles at a vehicle and a home in the town of Makeen in South Waziristan, according to Dawn News, killing "at least" 13 people. Pakistani officials said that 12 "militants" were killed in the strike, according to The Associated Press.akeen is an area under the control of Hakeemullah Mehsud, the leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, who is closely allied to al Qaeda. The US has struck targets in Makeen four other times in 2008 and 2009. One strike in June 2009 killed Khwaz Ali Mehsud, a top aide to Baitullah Mehsud, the former leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, who also was killed in a drone strike in August 2009 in nearby Ladha.

Having visited renowned, ritzy museums across Europe, the National Museum of Pakistan came across, at first, as a misnomer of sorts.The external compound was full of yellowing grass and lonely trees, and was virtually empty of visitors.The building itself was lit solely by sunlight from open windows and doors, resulting in a shadow-cast look of abandonment. The fans spun labouriously on the ceilings. That day, the “visitors” consisted entirely of me, a boy, his father, and two little girls.When I asked which gallery I should visit first, he launched into an enthusiastic report on all 11 galleries in his halting English (and occasional Urdu).
“We have a zig-zag gallery with the very very beautiful Qurans. And a coin gallery with the very very old coins …”Despite the stark sparseness of the place, the museum humbly houses an intriguing assortment of artifacts that kept me engaged for a good few hours. For all its soul and heart, this museum deserves more visitors than just the occasional schoolchildren

Islamabad Pakistan appointed Lt General Zaheer- ul Islam as the new director-general of the country's powerful spy agency Friday.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's office statement said: "The prime minister has appointed Lt General Zaheer-ul Islam as the new DG ISI", referring to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Islam is the commander of the V Corps, based in Karachi. He takes over from Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, who was appointed in 2008, and who oversaw some of the stormiest times in the US-Pakistan relationship.
Meanwhile, US drones killed 13 people in two missile strikes yesterday in South Waziristan on the border with Afghanistan, local television channels reported. Also yesterday, Taliban reportedly ambushed a Pakistani military convoy in North Waziristan, killing seven soldiers.

KARACHI, March 8: A suspected motorcycle snatcher was shot dead while his two accomplices managed to flee during an ‘encounter’ near Urdu Bazaar within the remit of the Preedy police station early on Thursday, police said.

Three suspects snatched a motorcycle from Mohammed Danish, who was passing through the area, and tried to flee. However, a police party on patrol reached there and an encounter with the suspected bandits took place, the police added.

One of them was wounded in the exchange of fire while his two accomplices managed to flee, the police said.

The wounded bandit, later identified as 27-year-old Mukesh Achar, was taken to the Civil Hospital Karachi for treatment, where he succumbed to his wounds, ASP Ali Asif told Dawn.

The suspect was a resident of Lea Market, he added.

Later in the evening, family members of Mukesh staged a protest demonstration in front of the Preedy police station and chanted slogans against the police, claiming that Mukesh was innocent and the police had killed him in a fake encounter.

Senior police officials reached the spot and assured the protesters that the matter would be thoroughly investigated.

The ASP said that the bandits had snatched the motorcycle (registration no KFT-0153) from Mr Danish and two of his accomplices escaped on the same motorcycle.

The police officer claimed that Mukesh had been nominated in other robbery cases also.

An FIR (No 145/12) was registered at the Preedy police station on Mr Danish’s complaint.

Pakistan's new ISI chief, Lt Gen Zahir-ul-Islam, is the nephew of Indian National Army hero Shah Nawaz Khan and through him, shares a tenuous link with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
Islam's father served as a brigadier in the Pakistan Army and Shah Nawaz Khan, who was a major general in the Indian National Army (INA) led by Subhas Chandra Bose, was his uncle, leading Pakistani defence analyst Ikram Sehgal said.

"One son of Shah Nawaz Khan went with him at the time of Partition, while another, Mahmood Nawaz, stayed on in Pakistan and became a full colonel.

"In fact, Mahmood Nawaz went and met his father only after retirement as he could not travel to India while he was in service," Sehgal said, providing details of the new ISI chief's extended family.

Shah Rukh Khan's late mother Lateef Fatima was the adopted daughter of Shah Nawaz Khan, according to the Bollywood star's biography on several websites.

Islam, who was on Friday appointed the new head of the powerful spy agency by Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, comes from a military family and was born in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.

It could not immediately be ascertained whether Islam had ever met Shah Nawaz Khan, who died in 1983.

Shah Nawaz Khan was himself born at Kahuta and served in the British Indian Army during World War II.

He was captured when Japanese troops overran Singapore in 1942 and then joined the INA.

He subsequently fought alongside Japanese forces against the British in Burma (now Myanmar).

Shah Nawaz Khan was captured by the British and put on trial with other INA officers in 1946.

They were convicted for treason but were discharged due to intense pressure from the public.

He later joined the Congress party and was elected to the Lok Sabha four times.

Before Islam's appointment as the ISI chief, some media reports had suggested that Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan's uncle Maj Gen Isfandyar Ali Khan Pataudi, a deputy director general in the spy agency, was in the running for the top slot.

However, sources said that Pataudi was never seen as a serious contender for the post of ISI chief.

PESHAWAR: At least six people were killed Saturday in a day-long gun battle between militants and government troops in Pakistan’s troubled northwestern tribal region, officials said.

For more than a thousand years the Afghan nation, and Pashtun tribes in particular, have resisted all foreign efforts of domination. Efforts by great empires have failed to suppress rich Pashtun culture and traditions, created during ancient Silk Road trading, the Jirga, language, art, music, song, poetry, dance, sports, food, humor, hospitality, etc... What great empires have failed to do is now being attempted by a late-comer, mini and sham-empire -- a collection of disjointed provinces known as Pakistan.Pakistan, using its indoctrinated proxy Taliban, has insidiously and perniciously forced the greatest damage to the identity, society, culture, traditions and posterity, of the Pashtuns. On the pretext of "Jihad", the Punjabi dominated Pakistani establishment has steadily reduced and de-Pashtunized the proud Pashtun community into pawns on the strategic chess-board.Since inception of Pakistan in 1947, the Pakistani state has only accepted either ultra-conservative Muslim nationalists or fundamentalists as the "sole anchorman" of the Pashtuns. It is not the Pashtun ethnicity of the Taliban that seeks Pakistan's support; it is the non-traditional ideology of the Taliban -- an ideology that purges traditional ethnic Pashtun identity that endearingly elevates the Taliban to the Pakistani establishment. Rephrasing, Pakistan is backing the Taliban not because they represent Pashtun nationalism but because they reject Pashtun nationalism; ever since the detachment of colonial overlords in the subcontinent, Pashtun culture has been an irritant factor to the Punjabi dominated Pakistani state. In the Pakistani scheme, anything that emphasizes Pashtun identity, culture, language, traditions must be suppressed or metamorphosed to serve the Punjab interests of Pakistan.
the nexus between the mafia and the mullah, which suited the Pakistani establishment perfectly; it allowed the exploitation of the Pashtun tribesmen as cannon fodder for the various misadventures of the Pakistani state, starting with the "tribal invasion" of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 and culminating with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s.
is fear of a Pashtun awakening that the Pakistanis have kept the Pashtun Tribal belt as a regressive anthropological cattle ranch where the social, cultural, educational and political development of the people remains medieval while adjoining areas - the so called "settled areas" - show some semblance of modernity. Pakistanis justify their FATA "reservation" policy based on arrogant colonial British who portrayed the Pashtuns as free-spirited, noble savages who lived by their own code of ethics and tolerated no attempt to curb their autonomy, much less their independence. The natural consequence of letting FATA become the "wild west" of Pakistan is that it remains under developed, under-educated and under-represented, and unfortunately, women have suffered the worst; being treated no better than commodities.Pakistan's policies, tactics and strategies towards the Afghan Pashtuns have been nothing short of devastating and are characterized by Pakistan's support for the Islamo-fascist Taliban; in post 9/11, Pakistan never changed course strategically in Afghanistan. In fact, after a two year recuperation time window, the Taliban regrouped after 9/11; then Pakistan unleashed them back into Afghanistan

And the good news is that no millitant was hurt.

But Gen Islam will have several important choices before him when he takes up his new assignment later this month. He could continue the process of disengaging the ISI from a direct and influential role in the political process that, oddly enough, was begun under Gen Pasha. For when the history of Gen Pasha’s service is written, it will likely be acknowledged that his was a tenure of two halves. During his original term in office, Gen Pasha avoided overt meddling in the political process but after his extension was granted, and in particular the last few months of his service which have been embroiled in the ‘memogate’ controversy, the ISI has been perceived to have once again upped its involvement in politics. The allegations surrounding the creation of the Difaa-i-Pakistan Council and sponsorship of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf have been particularly damaging.With the appointment of Gen Islam, perhaps the recent practice of giving extensions in service to certain officers should also come to an end. Extensions are a controversial matter outside the armed services as well as inside, as the outgoing air force chief’s comments indicated. A professional institution with highly qualified and competent officers such as the Pakistan armed forces has no need for indispensables. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

PESHAWAR: At least 13 people were killed and 29 others injured in Peshawar's Budh Bher area in a suicide bomb blast during funeral prayers, Geo News reported.
