Friend and Ally Update: "Pakistan ordered killing of Indian engineer in Afghanistan, Karzai mounts pressure," from India Defense, with thanks to Twostellas:
New Delhi: Afghan President Hamid Karzai has asked Pakistan to clarify after a Taliban commander claimed that Pakistani intelligence had a hand in the beheading of an Indian engineer in Afghanistan last month.Karzai's chief of staff, Jawed Ludin, said this week that the administration expected Islamabad to explain its position on the accusation that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) ordered the killing of K. Suryanarayana, a website quoted a report of Afghanistan's private Tolu TV network as saying.
A Taliban commander told the TV network that Amir Khan Haqqani, identified as the military commander of Taliban fighters in Zabul province, opposed the killing of Suryanarayana, who was abducted by the Taliban in Zabul April 28, the website afgha.com said.
The source alleged that Suryanarayan was eventually killed by Mullah Latif, a militiaman under the command of Mawlawi Mohammad Alam Andar, on orders from ISI....
That was the second such murder by the Taliban. Nearly five months ago, Ramankutty Maniyappan, an engineer with the Indian Border Roads Organisation (BRO), was kidnapped and beheaded by the Taliban.

Mullahs of Iran said Sunday that it would reject any demand to stop what it calls peaceful nuclear work, a day before European foreign ministers discuss incentives and penalties designed to rein in Tehran's atomic ambitions.

May. 14 - A Pakistani couple who married for love against their parents wishes are under threat from an ancient law that sanctions honour killings.
Human right activists in Karachi are now championing the cause of Dr.Qurat-ul-Ain who married her engineer boy friend Faraz Ali Shah against the wishes of her family.
They were so angry about the wedding they tried to use the 'Hudood Ordinance' a controversial Islamic law that human rights groups say is discriminatory against women and non-Muslim minorities.
It declares that men and women found guilty of adultery face stoning to death or 100 lashes.
BECAUSE ISLAM MEANS LOVE AND PEACE

Does this sound like an ally 'against' terror?
Pakistan, the country which is giving nuclear technology to Iran, the man who was generally acknowledged to have given the technology to Iran is free and is not answering questions. How far up the ladder does Pakistan's association with international terrorist groups go?
then i saw another beast,coming out of the earth.he had two horns like a lamb,but he spoke like a dragon.he exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf,and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose fatal wound had healed....sound familar?

Pak nukes meant only for India
It doesn't matter who attempts to take out Pakistan's nuclear assets the US, Israel or any other country Pakistan will attack India in retaliation. This bizarre, hair-trigger nuclear stance is central to Pakistan's deterrence theory and was conveyed to New Delhi by Islamabad when it suspected India and Israel of collaborating to take out its nuclear assets, a top retired Pakistani general has revealed.
About IRAN
General Mirza Aslam Beg, Pakistan's former army chief, said he suggested the Iranian government "make it clear that if anything happens to Iran, if anyone attacks it it doesn't matter who it is or how it is attacked that Iran's answer will be to hit Israel, the only target will be Israel".
General Mirza Aslam Beg, Pakistan's former army chief, had advised Iran to "attempt to degrade the defence systems of Israel", harass it through the Hamas government of the Palestinian Authority and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, broadly the same policy Pakistan adopted towards India in Kashmir through terrorist groups and the extremist factions of the Hurriyat.
He revealed this in an interview to Kathy Gannon, a Canadian journalist who had been AP correspondent in Pakistan and Afghanistan for 18 years before she was moved to Teheran earlier this year. She said the interview took place "several weeks" before the recent threatening exchanges between Iran and Israel.
Gannon recently released her first book, I is for Infidel: From Holy War to Holy Terror, an account of her years in the region, and the Beg interview appears to be a result of the many close contacts she developed over the years.
Govt grilled over Aligarh riots goof-up
Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on Friday could not provide any solace to a traumatised father and BJP MLA Devkinandan Kori, whose demand for justice fell on the deaf ears of the Mulayam Singh Yadav government.
The government turned down the demand for a CBI or judicial probe into the recent Aligarh riots in which Kori's 25-year-old son was killed in a police firing and later buried after being declared a Muslim.
If the intelligence service of a nation intentionally murders an unarmed citizen of another nation, wouldn't that be cause for a declaration of war? Not that India needs any more justification. And not that any nation is yet willing to stand up to the real jihadist bully nations, as opposed to Iraq and Afghanistan, two peripheral players.
special_guest, India is a weak state. It gets f**ked over by a failed tinpot dictatorship. Pakistan has been bleeding it for decades.
India is majority Hindu. Hindus have been f**ked over for thousands of years. Something in the nature of Hinduism that makes people spineless. Now contrast that with Islam. Islam invaded India and converted regions of India into Muslim majority. And soon enough the same people grew into vicious killing machines. Pakistan may yet finish the kuffar Hindus. Why? Because the Hindus don't have balls. They don't fight back. It is the spinelessness of Gandhi--he rolled over everytime the Muslims threatened to go and massacre some more spineless Hindus. Gandhi, amazing though it may sound, supported the call for the caliphate.
Astonishing does not even come close to it when one hears that India is going to get gas delivered to it from Iran over a pipeline that runs through Pakistan.
India would do well in a world without Islam. In a world with Islam (the one we have) is one where India gets f**ked over and how.
OT, but kinda says something about the whole "Allah has no partners" stuff.
Gas clouds shoot down Indonesia volcano
By CHRIS BRUMMITT
Associated Press Writer
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) -- Villagers burned incense and floated offerings to the spirits, hoping to ward off an eruption of Mount Merapi, but volcanic activity intensified on Monday to its highest level yet - with one blast sending debris more than two miles down the slope.
...
Although most Indonesians are Muslim, many also worship ancient spirits, especially in Central Java province.
"All the things we are doing here are to try to make us safe," said Assize Asyhori, an Islamic preacher who took part in the ceremony. "Only Allah knows if Merapi will explode."
...
The rest here.
They'll probably try to argue that the offerings weren't to any gods, but rather to "spirits".
Yeah, okay.
If it was me, I'd just unass the AO, but that's "grunt logic". Incoming cinder bombs and lava have the right-of-way.
I have an idea for sending a strong message to Musharraf, the Pakistani leadership, and the entire muslim world.
And I want all of you to relate your thoughts about.
So here goes:
In that we're in a war, and in that war the ordinary rules no longer apply, and in that A.Q. Khan directly oversaw the movement of nuclear weapon technology, and know how to a variety of sordid and squalid regimes, and in that through his actions it's very possible MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people might be slaughtered, and in that in Pakistan and throughout much of the muslim world he is viewed as a hero, and in that Pakistan is giving us sporadic assistance at most in this war on jihadist islam, that therefore the United States Armed Forces should exact a price from A. Q. Khan.
We should kill him.
For his actions, Khan should pay with his life.
Perhaps a hellfire should "go astray" maybe, a "targeting malfunction" if you will, and just happen to zero in on his compound, where we are told that he is kept under "house arrest." Perhaps it shouldn't be just one hellfire, perhaps it should be an entire salvo. But whatever the means, whatever the method, in the aftermath, Khan should be dead.
Perhaps we should construct a massive car bomb, thus making it clear to our muslim "allies" that they aren't the only ones capable of using a car as a weapon. Perhaps we should construct a vehicle bomb that makes the one McVeigh built seem paltry, that might be the way to do it.
But what say you?
Should we, in the course of our war, and in furtherance thereof, should we send A.Q. Khan to judgement?
Neither Taliban killed Suryanarain,a hindu engineer from India nor ISI ordered his killing. It is the Islam a cult of crime, death,destruction,misogynae, paedophilia etc.etc. has killed him. ISI and Taliban are manifestations of this criminal empire of one billion islamists. JW has rightly put a question mark on the heading of this news.
Atanu,
It would be difficult to label India as a weak state given the huge magnitude of the problem. The U.S. could not make pakistan give a. q. khan for interrogation even in pakistan itself. The politicians in their Armani suits are just that. Lily livered men in Armani suits. That is why the civilized world has not REALLY fought for 60 years. It takes guts to invade a country with full force. We hit Germany with all we had got, to win. Unless we hit these foe with all, we all, cannot win.
