Hakimullah Mehsud Killed in Drone Attack

It is reported in Pakistani and international media that Baithullah Mehsud successor Hakimullah Mehsud has been killed in a drone attack in North Waziristan. The importance of this attack can be judged from the fact that Hakimullah Mehsud claimed responsibility for the attack on CIA Camp in Afghanistan. CIA has vowed to avenge the death of their colleagues in Afghanistan. I wonder if CIA suddenly found Hakimullah Mehsud location and targeted him with a drone attack or they already knew about him but refrain to target him in the past? In any case, Pakistan has been rid of an evil and hence we are better off in any case.

Dawn News reported:

PESHAWAR: Leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Hakeemullah Mehsud, who had accepted responsibility for the deadly suicide attack on a CIA base camp in Afghanistan, appears to have been killed in a drone attack in South Waziristan, a senior security official said.

The attack has left at least ten people dead, amongst them are three militant commanders, the official said.

“It is immaterial to say how many have been killed in the attack. The important thing for us is whether Hakeemullah is amongst those killed”, the official said, requesting he not be named.

He said that the TTP chief was the target of the drone attack. “He has probably been killed.”

The Taliban have denied the TTP chief has been killed. TTP spokesman, Azam Tariq said that he and Hakeemullah both were alive and safe. “We were in Shaktoi but not at the compound which has been struck”, he told a reporter in the region in a satellite phone call.

The official said that the missile struck the compound of Fazal Mehsud alias Uqabi in Shaktoi in the Sararogha sub-district of South Waziristan. The area borders North Waziristan.

The 28-year-old Hakeemullah had succeeded Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed a drone attack on the night of August 5 last.

The TTP had claimed responsibility for the deadly suicide attack on the CIA forwarding operating base Chapman in the southeastern province of Khost on December 30 last.

The claim was followed by a video of the suicide bomber, a Jordanian double-agent Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi. Sitting next to Balawi in the video was Hakeemullah Mehsud.

The United States had vowed to hunt down those responsible for the deadly attack on the CIA post and Pakistani intelligence officials say the Thursday’s attack to eliminate Hakeemullah appeared to be CIA’s revenge for the Khost bombing.

ECC raises price of sugar by Rs7 per kg

ISLAMABAD: The government approved on Tuesday duty- and tax-free import of 1.25 million tons of refined sugar to overcome shortage, but increased its price for Utility Stores by 18.5 per cent, or Rs7 per kg.
The decisions were taken at a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee of the cabinet, presided over by Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin.
The ECC also approved re-lending of foreign loans to the provinces on original terms, Rs10 billion bailout package for loss-making Pakistan Steel Mills, a mechanism for support and intervention prices for crops and a standardised security package for development of hydropower projects.
The meeting also allowed export of goods manufactured at the Risalpur export processing zone to Afghanistan through land route in order to revive the REPZ and fix a minimum export price for rice.
Mr Tarin told Dawn after the meeting that 500,000 tons of the 1.25 million tons of refined sugar would be imported by the Trading Corporation of Pakistan before April while the remaining 750,000 tons by the private sector before June.
The import, he added, would be exempted from sales tax and other duties to ensure that landing cost of imported sugar ranged between Rs50 and Rs51 per kg and retail price between Rs54 and Rs55. The finance minister said the ECC had increased the USC price of sugar to Rs45 per kg from the existing Rs38. It is being sold at Rs65 per kg in the open market.
He said about 1.2 million tons of sugar would be sold through the USC. The Pakistan Sugar Mills Association will supply 900,000 tons to the USC under a commitment it had made with the Supreme Court to provide at least 30 per cent of its produce at a price lower than the market.
Mr Tarin expressed the hope that sugar would be available to consumers at Rs54-55 per kg in the open market.
BAILOUT PACKAGE: The ECC approved a Rs10 billion bailout package for Pakistan Steel Mills to overcome its “acute financial crunch”. The package includes a term loan facility of Rs8 billion to be arranged by the National Bank for five years on sovereign guarantee of the federal government. Another running finance facility of Rs2 billion, renewable on a yearly basis, would also be provided by banks led by NBP on government guarantee.
LOAN RE-LENDING: The meeting approved revision of the re-lending policy for foreign loans. Under the policy the provinces will get foreign loans on same terms and conditions on which these were obtained by the federal government.
The provinces would be allowed to issue their own bonds to repay these loans to the centre. The federal government used to get foreign loans at two to five per cent interest rate, but re-lend the provinces at a mark-up rate as high as 18 per cent.
CROP POLICY: The ECC approved a strategy for food security under which timely announcement of support price for wheat and intervention or indicative price for other crops would be ensured. The strategy will also ensure timely availability of farm inputs at affordable prices with special emphasis on water conservation and its judicious use.
The policy will set area and production targets of major and minor crops in consultation with stakeholders and to enhance farmers’ access to modern crop varieties and new technologies.
Besides, the government will promote adoption of good agricultural practices to boost production, improve marketing systems and maintain buffer stocks for essential food commodities.
RICE EXPORT: The ECC allowed Passco to export, through qualified agents and brokers, its stock of super basmati to the Middle East, Iran, Europe or any other market on a government-to-government basis at a minimum base price of $900 per ton within five per cent limit of broken rice.
POWER PROJECTS: The meeting approved standardised security agreements for hydropower projects under the Policy for Power Generation 2002. The Private Power and Infrastructure Board has been authorised to approve any project-specific amendment to the agreements required during negotiations provided obligations or liabilities of the government are not increased.

India: Kill A Pastor For $250

Money, food and alcohol are being offered by Hindu extremist groups to people willing to murder Christians and destroy their homes.
This violence is not new to Orissa, India where India’s Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs since August.  This figure is twelve times greater than official government claims of only 40 homicides.
The stakes are higher now and pastors have a bounty on their heads.  Chairman of Good News India, Faiz Rahman said Hindu militants are targeting Christian leaders according to the Christian Post.  “The going price to kill a pastor is $250,” he said.



Rahman told the UK based Release International, “All of the pastors are high value targets.”  “We’ve got to get them out of the refugee camps.”

According to Rahman 250 Christian leaders are still in shelters and he alone has helped over 25 pastors to leave refugee camps.  Rahman is the head of several orphanages in Orissa State.
“People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties.  They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons.  They are given petrol and kerosene,” according to an All-India Christian Council spokesman.
On August 24 one official said he personally authorized “cremation of more than 200 bodies” found in jungles after Christians were blamed for the death of Hindu leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati.  The persecution continues after Maoists openly admitted to murdering Saraswati.
Mission Network News estimated 5,000 Christian homes have burned and 200 churches ruined and 50,000 Christians have been forced to flee the violence.  Around 30,000 people remain in government operated refugee camps and tens of thousands are living in forests with several seriously wounded according to the Christian Post.



Christians remain in hiding said Father Manoj whose office is at the archbishop’s in Bhubaneshwar.  “They are to scared to go home.  They know that if they return to their villages they will be forced to convert to Hinduism.”  Barnabus Fund religious rights group told the group Hindu militants “forced” Christians in Orissa to “convert” to Hinduism by threatening them with rape if they refused.
Neighbors reportedly gang-raped a Hindu woman after her Christian uncle refused to renounce his faith, according to reports.
Gang-raped was reported by neighbors of a Hindu woman after her Christian uncle refused to renounce his faith.  Jaspina, a Christian woman was told by neighbors, “If you go on being Christian, we will burn your house and your children in front of you.”  She and her family were forced to eat cow excrement to “purify” them selves of Christianity.  It was reported that other Christians were doused with gasoline and were told to take part in conversion ceremonies or be lit on fire.
The deadline according to Hindu extremists has been set for the capture of Saraswati’s murderers.  The killers must be caught by December 15 or a promise of a massacre will begin on Christmas day, December 25th.
Orissa’s Catholic bishops wrote an ominous letter to the state’s chief minister according to the latest report.  “This conflict is a calculated and pre-planned master plan to wipe out Christianity from Kandhamal in order to realize the hidden agenda of establishing a Hindu nation.”

Balochis Raise Star And The Crescent Despite Terrorist Warnings

PESHAWAR, Pakistan—The BLA terrorists supported by foreign powers in Afghanistan have forced patriotic Pakistani Balochis to remove Pakistan’s flag in some areas of southwestern Pakistan.  The terrorists of Akbar Bugti and his Kabul-based grandson Brahamdagh threaten the people of elimination if they wave the Pakistani flag on the nation’s 62^nd Independence Day.  But patriotic Pakistanis in Balochistan are waving the Green and the Crescent despite BLA threats to their lives.  This is slap from the people of Balochistan on the face of these terrorists

The national flag flies on a laborer’s handcart, as he transports fruit to the market in Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan, where separatist groups have waged a bloody insurgency in recent years.  Pakistan celebrates its 62^nd Independence Day on August 14 (Friday) with traditional zeal and fervor.  (APP)

Quaid-e-Azam’s Words Live On, Not Brahamdagh Bugti’s

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—“Pakistan is in sight and Balochistan will be a part of it,” said Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s on May 20, 1947, three months before Pakistan’s independence from Britain.

“Pakistan’s strength lies in unity, whatever the cost of our bread and butter, we share it.”  That is how the Baloch express their love to people of the twin cities.

The Baloch are strong patriots of Pakistan. They remember the June 29, 1947 brief of the Assistant Governor-General on referendum, which said:

“Shahi Jirga met with elected members of Quetta Municipality … The present members voted unanimously for Pakistan.”

The elders in Pakistan’s Balochistan stress that is how a British-occupied Balochistan with British-appointed tribal sardars became free and chose to be a part of Pakistan.  In March 1948 the Khan of Kalat, Ahmad Yar Khan and his confederate chiefs, acceded to Independent Pakistan.

This federation of Pakistan shall stay forever despite foreign intrigues.
Quaid-e-Azam is not with us today but his words live on.

Balochistan is Pakistani soil and will remain so.  We will not let the enemy make use of the imbecilities of the previous Pakistani quasi-democratic governments. The enemies of Pakistan, the Indians and those who are supporting them, have revived Soviet-era terror groups in the area for the consummation of their despicable designs.

The enemies are using the same tactic as the British imperialists did in the past by retaining tribal chiefs and paying them.  Does any one of you Pakistanis believe that the major powers around Pakistan and the self-styled champions of democracy will like to see Pakistan strengthen its economy and defense in the global village?

Never.

The Indian-backed Harbyar Marri is conspiring to declare the independence of Balochistan on 11 August 2009 and anti-Pakistan countries are planning to publicly accepting it.  The propaganda is on its peak.  We warn these elements to stay away from our homeland.

We are also watching our government in this case.  If it fails to defend Pakistan’s interests, Pakistanis will rise for the protection of Pakistan.
