Wikileaks about Pakistani media !!!

Crude propaganda hoax

Yesterday morning, major Pakistani newspapers carried stories allegedly based on U.S. diplomatic cables released by the web site Wikileaks in which U.S. officials purportedly described Indian spies supporting Islamist militants in Baluchistan and Waziristan, called former Indian army chief General Deepak Kapoor "an incompetent combat leader and rather a geek," said a "Bosnia-like genocide" is occurring in Indian-administered Kashmir, and asserted that the Indian military is supporting Hindu fundamentalist groups, among other claims (Guardian). The cables, however, could not be found in the Wikileaks database, suggesting Wikileaks was exploited for propaganda purposes.

Pakistan's Express Tribune and The News have issued mea culpas admitting that the "story was dubious and may have been planted," acknowledging that the reports came from the Islamabad-based Online wire service, which is "known for their close connections with certain intelligence agencies" (AP, AFP, BBC, ET, The News). However, the Urdu-language Jang, which carried the story on its front page yesterday, has not mentioned the incident, and the right-wing daily The Nation, which "still appeared to believe the story," editorialized that the cables revealed "India's true face" and "Washington's hypocrisy" (BBC, Nation).

A car bombing near a hospital under construction in Hangu left at least 15 people dead earlier this morning (Reuters, Geo, ET). Hangu, which is reportedly segregated between Sunnis and Shias, is said to be known for anti-Shia attacks; there have been no claims of responsibility yet (AP). InSouth Waziristan, 13 alleged militants including a local commander called Asmatullah were killed in separate clashes with Pakistani security forces, following an attack on a security checkpoint in Sararogha (Geo, Pajhwok).

Yesterday British authorities arrested a suspect in the murder of MQM founder Imran Farooq, who was stabbed to death outside his home in north London in September, and detectives are said to be investigating the 34 year old Pakistani national's political affiliations (The News, ET, Guardian,Tel). British police are still seeking two other men for questioning.

Flashpoint

Indian police have arrested a college lecturer in Indian-administered Kashmir for giving an exam filled with anti-India questions such as "Are the stone pelters the real heroes?" (AP, PTI). Noor Mohammed Bhat faces charges of "spreading disaffection against the state" and promoting secession, which carry a seven year prison sentence upon conviction.

Abducted at gunpoint

Eighteen Afghans working for the Afghanistan-based charity Mine Detection Center were kidnapped at gunpoint by men on motorcycles on the edge of the capital of the eastern province of Khost, bordering the Pakistani tribal agency of Kurram (AFP, Pajhwok). There have been no claims of responsibility yet, and eleven of the men have been freed (Pajhwok). In Nangarhar, a Taliban suicide bomber killed two Afghan civilians and injured at least one Afghan policemen earlier today, and in Kabul, some 300 people protested for justice and peace in recognition of International Human Rights Day (Pajhwok, AP). Bonus read: a plan for sustainable Afghan stability, by Bijan R. Kian and Wayne Porter (NAF).

Former Afghan spy chief Amrullah Saleh said yesterday that the key to peace in Afghanistan is to cut off Pakistan's support for the Taliban, commenting, "Demobilize them, disarm them, take their headquarters out of the Pakistani intelligence's basements... Force the Taliban to play according to the script of democracy" (AP). Saleh also suggested that the U.S. should give Pakistani officials until July 2011 to go after insurgent leaders inside Pakistan or threaten to send U.S. troops to do so.

Afghan authorities have arrested Michael Hearn, a British consultant with the Global Strategies Group, which oversees security at Kabul's airport among other contracts, for allegedly failing to register weapons with the Afghan government (Post). He was sentenced to eight months in jail.

Ya got trouble right here

Afghan competitors have beaten opponents from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Iceland during the World Snooker Championship, a pool tournament currently underway in Damascus (Pajhwok). The 40-nation championship is due to conclude next week.

Suspected killer of Dr Imran Farooq arrested

LONDON: In a major breakthrough yesterday, Metropolitan Police arrested a 34-year-old Pakistani on suspicion of the gruesome murder of Dr Imran Farooq in Edgware in a knife attack.

Met Police said the man, arrested at a residential address in Central London’s Camden area, was also suspected of involved in a robbery in October 2009. After the arrest, the man was taken to a north London police station where he was being interviewed by detectives from the Metropolitan Police Specialist Operations department. 

Dr Imran Farooq, aged 50,was on his way home from work when he was attacked in Green Lane, shortly before 17:30hrs on Thursday, September 16. A close associate of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain and one of its founding members, Dr Farooq was attacked with a kitchen knife and a brick and was found suffering from stab wounds and head injuries by neighbours and his family.

The MQM politician was living in exile after fleeing Pakistan, where he lived underground throughout the military operation against his party, 11 years ago. He was granted political asylum in Britain after he convinced the authorities that his life was in danger in Pakistan. 

Detectives believe there are other people who may hold vital information about the attack and continue to urge them to come forward. A statement issued by the detective team yesterday said the police want to trace two men and speak to them in connection with the incident.

Officers investigating the case have previously issued an e-fit of one of the men, based on the information provided by the local witnesses who have so far come forward to give police key information.

The man, whose e-fit has been issued, has been described as of Asian appearance, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, 5ft 4ins to 5ft 6ins tall, of slim build, with piercing eyes, a pointed, pale-skinned face, short black/dark coloured hair, and a goatee-style beard. He was wearing a dark coloured baseball-style cap, according to the police. 

The second man is also Asian, aged in his 30s, of stocky build, 5ft 9ins to 5ft 11ins tall, with short black hair. The suspected killer of Dr Imran Farooq has been arrested on two suspicions but it is far from clear whether he is also suspected of involved in robbery of Dr Farooq or whether the robbery incident is a separate case. 

According to procedures, the 34-year-old man will be interviewed under caution. He will also be taped, filmed and will have the rights to have a duty solicitor. And if required, a language interpreter by his side will explain to the suspect his legal rights and implications of what he will say during the interview.

Police have 24 hours at their hands to either charge him and remand him in custody or release him on bail but if the police feel that it needs more time to grill the suspect then they will ask an inspector to authorise 72 hours for further questioning. After the expiry of 72 hours, the police can ask the local magistrate’s court to grant 7 days for further questioning.

The decision to charge a suspect or release him is usually made in the first 24 hours or within 72 hours, unless there are complicated issues involved. But The News understands that in this case, the police have watertight evidence at their hands and they are highly unlikely to ask the local magistrate’s for further 7 days for questioning.

Based on the interview, the police, in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), will have to decide whether to charge the suspect if it is satisfied with the available evidence or continue ongoing investigation and release him on police bail.

If the suspect is charged with robbery and murder offences, the police will present him before a magistrate’s court and will seek remand to keep him in custody within 24 hours. It is up to the magistrates who will decide whether to grant the bail or not but almost inevitably they will refuse bail on the likely grounds of the defendants being a ‘flight risk’ and the serious nature of the charge itself.

The accused’s trial is likely to start in 8 months to a year at the Old Bailey. The accused will be entitled to make a bail application, contact his family and seek medical help if needed. He will also have the facility to converse in his own language through an interpreter if there is a language difficulty. 

The accused will be sometime presented before the judges in court through video link in order to ensure his security. It takes months before the whole process is completed.

Separately, a police source told The News that active enquiries were continuing to find the killers of Dr Farooq and no other properties or persons were raided or searched respectively since this newspaper broke the news of the police search of two addresses in London under warrants linked to the murder investigation.

The police have also confirmed that they were “pursuing a number of enquiries nationally and internationally” and were keen for anyone, regardless of where they live or work, with information about the murder to come forward.

Mehandi and its different styles

Mehndi is the application of henna as a temporary form of skin decoration in the Indian Subcontinent, as well as by expatriate communities from these areas. Mehendi a traditional art of designing the hands and feet is an integral part of Indian customs and functions. Mehndi is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals like Diwali, Bhaidooj, Teej and Eid. In some Hindu festivals every woman tries to have mehndi done on her hands and feet. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna. Mehndi was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.

Below are mentioned few examples of Designer Mehndi, Bridal Mehndi, Arabic Mendi applied on palm, hand and feet.
