More U.S. arms to make Pak generals richer

 By Ahmar Mustikhan WASHINGTON -- The interests of the U.S. military-industrial complex appear to take precedence over U.S. national interests and human rights concerns, a recent transfer of fighter jets to Pakistan shows. From behind the ivory tower called the White House on New Year's Eve, even as the ground in Rawalpindi - headquarters of Pakistan's military - was wet with the blood of twice-premier Benazir Bhutto, the Bush Administration okayed the delivery of deadly F-16 jets to Pakistan worth nearly $500 million. The manufacturer in question, Lockheed Martin has had a history of bribing foreign officials for arms purchases and though a special law was enacted to quell such bribery...   details >>

Marching to a different tune

 By Kamila Hyat 6/26/2008 The writer is a freelance columnist and former newspaper editor Quite often what is not reported in the media as 'news' is far more significant than what is included in newspaper stories or television bulletins. The many factors involved in what is deemed to constitute news have been debated at length by philosophers and media critics, including Noam Chomsky, who explored the theme extensively in his writings during the 1980s, and more recently, by investigative journalist Nick Davies in his new book 'Flat Earth News'. The conclusion, broadly, is that much of what happens in the world never figures as news. As such, many never know anything of it.In Pakistan today...   details >>

Is Pakistan Ready For Another9/11?

 25 Jun 2008 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Brahmdagh Bugti, a terrorist recruited and sheltered in Afghanistan, is planning a spectacular operation in Balochistan. The information coming from intelligence intercepts paints a picture of an attack on Pakistani Balochis by terrorists pretending to be soldiers of the Pakistani military. The objective is to spark a separatist uprising in the province. The timing of the plan is perfect. All ground reports indicate that terrorists armed and financed by unidentified backers in Afghanistan have strengthened their positions since March, exploiting political instability in the country.  This report is one of several that indicate a wide scale leadership fa...   details >>

Balochistan: the true story

 Aziz Baloch It has been a favourite pastime of Pakistan’s establishment and their pro-intellectual community and media who ignored the ground realities of Balochistan and blamed prominent Baloch leaders for being an obstacle in the path of development and progress. This line of approach is totally unfair. Unfortunately one of the writers in this newspaper, Mohammad Jamil, failed to present the true picture about Balochistan’s burning issues in his article entitled ‘Focus on Balochistan’ (The Post, June 19, 2008).A fifth army operation was started in Balochistan in March 2005. It was the then Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao of Pakistan who himself made a statement that in Balochistan only du...   details >>

Balochistan conflict

 By SHAHID HAMID Prior to 2005 the 'conflict' in Balochistan was probably confined to seven percent of its area including, in the main, parts of Kohlu and Dera Bugti districts whereas now it has engulfed about half the Province including many urban areas. The disaffected include large numbers of youth. This raises a question mark over the 'claimed' success, as also the future, of the so-called three-pronged strategy viz political dialogue, socio-economic development and selective use of force.The military operation has eliminated several farrari camps, recovered substantial arsenals of weapons and killed or driven into exile hundreds of militants. On the other side of the balance-sheet is th...   details >>

Iran spars with its enemy within

 By Chris Zambelis Issues of dissent and rebellion among Iran's elaborate patchwork of ethnic and sectarian minority communities are receiving increasing international scrutiny. Many advocacy organizations representing Iranian minorities accuse Tehran of operating a policy of cultural subjugation aimed at erasing identities distinct from Iran's dominant Persian culture and Shi'ite brand of Islam. In some cases, these grievances have led to unrest and bloodshed. The latest round of violence between ethnic Baloch nationalists led by Jundallah (Soldiers of God) and Iranian security forces in the province of Sistan-Balochistan is indicative of this
