From what I hear, Mashkay was more than mere change in posture but more of a wide search operation. I have no qulams when it comes to hunting down separatists. Did I say it is the military or did I say it's the state? Doesn't change things. IB has the bigger domestic network and it has been...

Did I say they are not guilty of many crimes? At no point did I say that they are some angels who have been treating their people (who are near subjects to them) very well. Exploitation at the hands of tribal chiefs is not something unheard of or that hasn't been discussed on these forums. Their...

Is this an investigation into the personal conduct of the Army officers sent on deputation or an institutional investigation? Only a week or so ago we were told that NLC has been ordered to stop posing as a defence organization and taking tax exempts as such. Moreover, NLC is organizationally...

This is a four month old story, posted here for the first time. There was no mention of opening camp offices in Tel Aviv in the original news report. A news agency of no credence or repute whatsoever inserted the "camp office" bit in the story (to spice things up it seems). Thread merger is...

Govt plans to absorb, bifurcate tribal areas PESHAWAR: The federal government has devised a comprehensive plan to restore peace after the completion of military operations in the tribal regions and adjoining Frontier Regions. The plan includes proposals like administratively bifurcating the...

Welcome to the Jungle. Nobody knows what is happening. The war is in shatters. Nobody has any documentation of these guys, nobody knows what they look like (case in point Mullah Omar, Bradar and others whose sole recognition is anecdotal). Borrowed words :- 2001: People collected reward money...

Taliban Leader in Secret Talks Was an Impostor By DEXTER FILKINS and CARLOTTA GALL Published: November 22, 2010 KABUL, Afghanistan — For months, the secret talks unfolding between Taliban and Afghan leaders to end the war appeared to be showing promise, if only because of the repeated...

Frankly, I'm sick of replying to this near constant urban obsession with feudalism-responsible-for-all-evils. Don't absolve the people and the state of what they have done for 63 years. In response to Ejaz Haider's very misguided and wayward column on Balochistan, a friend of mine Recycled...

Capital police seizes 130kg explosives, arrests four * DIG orders operation against one-wheeling * SHOs warned of strict action if stunt riding continues in their areas ISLAMABAD: The capital police on Monday seized 130 kilograms of explosive material, which was concealed in seven cartons...

VIEW: Crime without a name —Mohammad Akhtar Mengal Islamabad and its powerful establishment are committing Balochcide, a systematic act committed with institutional intent to destroy Baloch society. Islamabad’s brutalities and Hitler-like policies against the Baloch people will not deter us...

Drones: theirs and ours byPervez Hoodbhoy Vocal as they are about being bombed from the sky, most Pakistanis – including many on the Left – suddenly lose their voice when it comes to the human (Muslim) drone A drone – of the kind discussed here – is a programmed killing machine. By...

A 60 month contract. It's a oil powered one. Let me know if there's magical sea water power plant producing 262mw. It's not a grid, it's a COGEN plant.

Stick to the topic. Thread is not devoted to comparison of minority rights or treatment in various countries. If the report and statements put forward seem to be wrong and mere accusations, refute them with evidence, legal rights available to minorities or subjective overview of their lives...

No point in refreshing this thread unless there are developments. Thread locked.

Did I at any point claim that Sharif's an angel? No. But I'd like documentary evidence to be presented before a court of law. There's nothing stopping all these I-have-proof-of-corruption people to file cases and demand accountability but like the Sheikh Rasheed(s) of television, every chap now...

Durran, you're pretty sensible fellow. I thought you'd avoid hurling of random figures and accusations on tv channels. Proofs or it didn't happen should be the governing ideology all around.

Nine TTP affiliates get 10 years in prison RAWALPINDI: A civil court in Rawalpindi on Tuesday sentenced nine affiliates of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to ten years in prison. The nine were arrested from Rawalpindi in January 2009, and a huge cache of weapons and explosives was also...

Having blasted some HAARP conspiracy theorists here as well, it pains me that tax payer money is being wasted so that a Chemist can churn out papers on conspiracy theories in the field of Physics. We already waste millions annually so that people at COMSTECH can "study" the holy book under the...
