Intel reports blame Pakistan for limited success in Afghan war: NYT

WASHINGTON:?Two new classified intelligence reports on the war in Afghanistan say there is a limited chance of success unless Pakistan hunts down insurgents operating from havens on its Afghan border, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The National Intelligence Estimates offer a more negative assessment than a review of the US war strategy that the Obama administration is set to unveil on Thursday.

The intelligence reports – one on Afghanistan and one on Pakistan – say that although there has been progress in the war, Pakistan’s unwillingness to shut down militant sanctuaries in its tribal region remains a serious obstacle, The New York Times reported.

The White House said on Tuesday that the war strategy review has determined that a troop increase led to important progress in the nine-year-old war which may permit some US soldiers to withdraw from Afghanistan next July.

Obama ordered 30,000 more US troops to Afghanistan a year ago with the goal of turning the tide against a resurgent Taliban.

The Times said the findings of the intelligence community were provided to some members of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees last week and were described by a number of US officials who read the executive summaries.

US military commanders and senior Pentagon officials have already criticised the reports as out of date and written by Washington analysts who have spent little time in the war zone, the newspaper said.

WikiLeaks: India alleges 43 militant camps operating in Pakistan

Leaked cables reveal Indian Defence Minister AK Antony told the US that little had been done to shut down the camps. PHOTO: EPA

The latest set of?leaked US diplomatic cables showed that India alleged that there were 43 militant camps in Pakistan, including 22 in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and that little had been done to permanently shut them down.

The allegation was made during a conversation in June last year between then US National Security Adviser General Jim Jones and Indian Defence Minister AK Antony, according to the cables released by WikiLeaks and published by Britain’s Guardian newspaper.

Indian army chief General Deepak Kapoor, who attended the meeting, said that Pakistan had raided the camps following the Mumbai attacks in 2008 but some of them had since resumed operations. Kapoor also told the US delegation that militants continued to infiltrate into Indian-administered Kashmir across the Line of Control and that it would not be possible without “some kind of assistance, and or/degree of support that is institutional”, the cable said.

He said India had improved its preparedness on the borders and estimated that about 15 to 20 per cent of those trying to cross the border succeeded. “If we can catch them, why can’t the Pakistani military,” he asked.

Jones, according to the read-out of the meeting, said he would take up the issue of militant training camps with Islamabad. At one stage during the meeting, he asked the Indian army chief about the prospects of upgrading India-Pakistan military talks to discuss Indian concerns. But the Indian defence minister Antony interjected, saying dialogue with Pakistan was difficult until it had acted against those responsible for the Mumbai attacks.

Pakistan has rejected Indian accusations that it continues to support militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir and instead sought talks to resolve the long-running dispute over the Himalayan region. It has, however, acknowledged that the Mumbai attacks was plotted and partly launched from its soil and put seven suspects linked to the Laskar-e-Taiba group on trial.

India says it is not satisfied with the pace of the Pakistani investigation. Jones said the worst thing for the region would be another Mumbai-style attack and that “we cannot let the terrorists play us off against each other”.

The two sides also discussed Afghanistan, where New Delhi said it had a vital stake and the international operation must succeed “because India cannot imagine for a moment a Taliban takeover of its extended neighbour”. India, along with Russia and Iran, supported the Northern Alliance faction during the civil war in Afghanistan is deeply suspicious of any dialogue with the Taliban, which it sees as closely tied to Pakistan.

WikiLeaks: Pakistan dismisses nuclear fears in leaked cables

"It is time they part with their historical biases against Pakistan," Basit said, referring to Britain and the United States. PHOTO: AFP

ISLAMABAD:?Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit on Wednesday dismissed American and British fears that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme could fall into hands of terrorists as laid bare in leaked American diplomatic cables.

Memos obtained by whistleblower site WikiLeaks and reported by the Guardian and The New York Times suggested that the United States was more concerned than it let on publicly about Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.

“Their fears are misplaced and doubtless fall in the realm of condescension,” foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit told AFP.

“There has not been a single incident involving our fissile material, which clearly reflects how strong our controls and mechanisms are,” he said.

“It is time they part with their historical biases against Pakistan,” Basit said, referring to Britain and the United States.

Wikileaks: Pakistan condemns 'irresponsible disclosure'

FO spokesperson Abdul Basit said the documents were being examined.

ISLAMABAD:?Pakistan, on Monday, condemned the release of what the New York Times called a quarter of a million confidential American diplomatic cables?released by whistleblower WikiLeaks, as an “irresponsible disclosure of sensitive official documents”.

The foreign office said it had been offically informed of the leaks by the US government in advance.

“At this stage we are examining the relevant documents and their contents,” ministry spokesman Abdul Basit told AFP when asked about the Times report.

The leaked cables revealed that the US has led top secret efforts to remove highly enriched uranium from Pakistan for years, worried it could be used to make an “illicit” nuclear device.

In May 2009, it quoted then US ambassador Anne Patterson as saying that Pakistan was refusing to schedule a visit by American technical experts. The Times attributed the reason to a nameless Pakistani official who said: “If the local media got word of the fuel removal, ‘they certainly would portray it as the United States taking Pakistan’s nuclear weapons’”. Islamabad has been adamant that its nuclear weapons are in safe hands and US President Barack Obama has publicly concurred. But the Times said the leaked documents showed the United States trying to remove the uranium from a research reactor, fearing it could be diverted for use in an “illicit nuclear device”.?The newspaper did not elaborate on how the United States had sought to remove the uranium or the nature of any such device. Experts estimate that Pakistan already has up to 100 nuclear weapons.

The United States has longstanding concerns about proliferation from Pakistan and is reported to have set up an elite squad that could fly into the country and attempt to secure its weapons should the government disintegrate.

Pakistan crush Bangladesh to win maiden cricket gold

GUANGZHOU:?Pakistan created history Friday in crushing Bangladesh by 10 wickets to win the first-ever Asian Games women’s cricket tournament.

The victory also handed Pakistan their first gold of these Games and prevented Bangladesh from claiming their country’s first ever.

Bangladesh’s total of 92 never looked enough as Pakistan openers Nida Rashid and Javeria Wadood made a positive start to their run chase, playing a full range of shots and looking to to score at every opportunity.

Bangladesh could not force a much-needed breakthrough as Nida raced to a half-century off just 41 balls.

The Pakistan pair reached their target with more than four overs to spare. Nida was 51 not out with Javeria unbeaten on 39.

Bangladesh scored freely in the early part of their innings, but Pakistan’s bowlers tied them down, forcing them to take risks, which led to wickets tumbling.

Captain Salma Khatun top-scored with 24, with Nida taking 3-16 and skipper Sana Mir 2-23.

Mir said that credit goes to the coach and the whole team while the Pakistani side’s manager said that the win was an Eid gift from his side to the nation.

Earlier, China’s hopes of claiming the bronze medal were shattered by Japan in a seven-wicket defeat.

China were restricted to 65-6 off their 20 overs before Japan reached their target with four balls to spare.

Japan captain Ema Kuribayashi, who plays club cricket in New Zealand, top-scored for her side with a steady, unbeaten 24.

“We fought with calmness and concentration. We just tried to avoid getting out. We were focusing on doing our jobs,” said Kuribayashi.

She said the win would be a major boost to the sport in Japan.

Women’s cricket team steps up for Pakistan

Women's cricket team eyes win in Asian games.

GUANGZHOU:?Pakistan’s women cricketers have cruised into the Asian Games semi-finals determined to deflect attention away from lurid tales of corruption which have engulfed their men’s team.

Pakistan, Asia’s top-ranked side, have reached the last four courtesy of an eight-wicket win over Thailand and nine-wicket rout of hosts China and are set to be one of their country’s best hopes of a gold medal.

“We never get this kind of media attention at home. I am just so glad the sport made it to the Asian Games,” said Pakistan skipper Sana Mir.

“There is always TV coverage when the men’s team plays in Pakistan because it is huge, but you never see us playing on the big screen.”

Although there are around 600 women players in Pakistan under the age of 19 and around 1,200 seniors, earnings are meagre.

“It’s the love of the sport which keep us going,” Pakistan team manager Ayesha Ashhar told China Daily newspaper.

“We would like to be treated and rewarded just like the men’s team.”

Mir admits that in a rigidly conservative country like Pakistan, many women face restrictions on when and where they can play, but 26-year-old Mir is relieved that she faced no such problems.

“I have to thank my parents and brother for their support, otherwise I could not have made it this far,” said the captain.

Ton-up Younus helps Pakistan draw first Test

DUBAI:?Younus Khan scored a resolute century as Pakistan reached 284-3 at tea on the fifth and final day of the first Test match against South Africa on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old batsman reached his 17th Test century with a towering six off spinner Johan Botha three overs before the tea interval to further Pakistan’s fight. They still need to bat out 29 overs to draw or score 167 for an unlikely win.

Pakistan, set a daunting 451-run target, owed their fight for survival to Younus who is playing his first Test since July last year because of an indefinite ban and differences with fellow players.

Younis, 102 at tea, was ably supported by skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, unbeaten on 52, as the pair added 127 runs for an unbroken fourth wicket stand– a new record in Pakistan-South Africa Test matches.

The previous best of 119 was between Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla at Johannesburg in 2007.

Younis has so far hit nine boundaries and two sixes during his 191-ball knock, his third century against South Africa.

Misbah, who also completed his half-century with a six off Botha, has so far hit six boundaries and a six off 127-balls and together with Younis frustrated the South Africans who managed only Azhar Ali’s wicket in the two sessions.

Ali scored 63 before he was bowled by spinner Paul Harris before lunch, but not before adding 82 for the third wicket with Younis to keep Pakistan’s hopes of saving the Test alive.

Ali, who made 56 in the first innings, hit seven boundaries during his dour 150-ball knock.

With scant assistance from the pitch, South Africa also fell short on fielding as they dropped three crucial catches – two off Younis and one off Misbah, hurting their chances of taking the lead in the two-Test series.

Resuming at 109-2, Pakistan had a lucky escape in the fourth over of the day when Younis, on 16, edged paceman Dale Steyn, but wicket-keeper Mark Boucher failed to hold a regulation catch towards his right.

Younis also had luck at 73 when Kallis failed to hold a difficult chance in the slips off Steyn.

Misbah was also lucky when Hashim Amla dropped a bat-pad edge off Johan Botha at short-leg when the batsman had made eight.

Ten million engaged in child labour in Pakistan

KARACHI:?

Sindh Information Minister Sharmila Farooqui, referring to a recent report, said on Tuesday that 10 million children are currently engaged in child labour in Pakistan, out of which 300,000 are in Sindh.

Addressing a seminar on ‘Activating Media in Combating Child Labour’ at Karachi University, Farooqui said “Child Labor is an international evil. It requires cumulative efforts to wipe it out. The need of the hour is to expand the machinery for enforcing the various laws on child labor.”

According to the report, 220 million children, aged five to 17, are subject to child labour all around the world, excluding those involved in domestic labour.

The minister linked this issue mainly to the lack of proper awareness, poverty and low level of parental education. “There is a plethora of laws but desirable results could not be achieved until there is awareness among parents and children. Child labor is a bane which deprives them of the realisation of their full potential for growth into useful and productive members of the society,” she observed.

She said the media has a very important role to play in ensuring that correct information is disseminated and the government’s considerable efforts to eradicate of the scourge of child labor are duly communicated to the public.

Farooqui also underlined the importance of the role of civil society and NGOs in the elimination of child labor and stressed that the government does not have the infra-structure to reach every section of the society and particularly the millions who work and live in remote areas. “Civil Society and NGOs can act as a bridge between hard-to-reach areas and the government,” she added.
