A long but the most fascinating account of events that night.

GETTING BIN LADEN : What happened that night in Abbottabad by Nicholas Schmidle Shortly after eleven o’clock on the night of May 1st, two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters lifted off from Jalalabad Air Field, in eastern Afghanistan, and embarked on a covert mission into Pakistan to kill...

Tensions Flare as G.I.’s Take Fire Out of Pakistan FORWARD OPERATING BASE SHARANA, Afghanistan — American and Afghan soldiers near the border with Pakistan have faced a sharply increased volume of rocket fire from Pakistani territory in the past six months, putting them at greater risk...

Zakaria: Why 'Mission Impossible' premiers in India By Fareed Zakaria, CNN Going to the movies is a great American pastime. And whether it's Kung Fu Panda or Harry Potter, there's always some extra cache in catching the films as soon as they're released. So if you're a Mission Impossible...

By making statements like these, you insult the intelligence of the PAF. I am sure they are more intelligent than simply going for a fighter not selected by the IAF. I am sure that they put much more thought in the process of selecting aircraft. and by the way, from where will Pakistan get the...

The above article clearly goes on to say that the sale is not going to change the overwhelming superiority that India enjoys, even by the PAF's own admission. Then what makes you think that India is scared?

Behind the Pakistan F-16 deal, a tale of many wheels - The Hindu The sale was considered only ‘symbolically important' by the U.S., but had many strings attached The sale by the United States of F-16 military aircraft to Pakistan, announced in 2005, was celebrated as a sign of deepening...

Former top Afghan spy speaks out - 60 Minutes - CBS News

Let this guy troll on. Why feed the troll? Both his history & all the arguments put up for his benefit prove that he is simply not worth the effort. He has an one point agenda & is doing his best. Why bother!??

No one is out rightly banning The Economist, the map simply gets censored & the issue gets published. Do check the facts before making maxi-mist statements like this.

India's position on the depiction of its territory is well know, we do not allow the publication of any map that doe's not depict the actual frontiers of the country. It can only be said that "The Economist' has been rather naive on this issue, while it has every right to publish the map as it...

In a hurry to save face you forgot to look at the figures carefully: Under the Disbursed column it says $ 0.19 M and under the Delivered colum it says $ 19.81 M. The Disbursed & Delivered colum added up totally comes to what has been received on ground, not what has been promised. Its simple...

Hey CD, hope you have stopped your subscription to 'The Economist', which at one point you had described as an intelligent & a reliable news source. You can instead subscribe to the "Global Times" many describe it as the new "Pravda" but that besides the point is it.

If you had gone through the official GoP link that i had provided, you would have noticed that the remarks column against the China contribution only says that "US $ 19.81 M worth of relief goods received". This column does not talk of any other infrastructure or cash contribution made by China...

Indeed it is my friend - your Afghan & China policy are both driven by Indian paranoia. Lets have a look, Pakistan China relations really took off only after the 1962 Indo-China war, before that Pakistan had no worthy China policy to speak of forget friendship. Till then Pakistan was firmly...

It turns out that 'The Economist' has been right all along. The Chinese govt pledged $ 220 million & has yet only delivered only $ 19.8 million even after a year since the floods. The Saudis have done better with delivering $ 45 million till date. This is what the 'Ministry of Economic Affairs &...

While i understand as to why that discomforts you; but then who is not. Any informed source of late has been predicting India's rise. The figures are there for everyone to see, it does not take a Nostradamus to make commonsense predictions. Sounds like "i will hear what i want to hear"...

Lack of credible & unbiased reporting usually leaves people susceptible to rumors & reliance on hearsay, something that seems to have clearly happened in your case. i can only laugh at the suggestion of comparing a forum where people can nearly say anything & press in a tightly controlled...

If you take a moment to think, as what could have happened to Wikileaks had they been in China, in comparison to that nothing has happened to wikileaks. Julian Assange is still a free man, while Ai Wie Wie has disappeared for much less & even his family has not been told where he is being...

Alright. Feel at peace then. But your word against an reputed international magazine published in a country that guarantees freedom of press, is simply not good enough.
