ramana,
What I am saying now they are heading for equal equal situation.
Jihad was always there in Pakistan, but worst, in India it is encouraged or supported by current government. Within 3 years, now Indian Muslims are involved in international terrorism along with other middle east brothers. Pakistan and Indian elites are in bed together; they support and consult each other. Whether it is Aiyar, Gujaral and Nawaj small chit-chat or Thapar and Bhutto pillow talk. What I am afraid or already seeing for last few years that IM are part of extended Pakistan and they had become foot solider. I had strong feeling based on connection between elites on both side that Pakistan will use jihadi to stay in power and Indian elite will use so-called liberals who are in bed with Ejs and mullahs.
Disintegration of Pakistan will start ripple effect in India, Idiots of India had recommended Sachar commission report which I consider second step for Indiaâs disintegration. Ej pressure brought Nagaland under President rule. Teestat is deciding who is fit as CM and she can easily twist election commission. Indian diplomats are more interested to protect one individual friend then country. Ej and Maoist can start riots any time, how they are different from Paki jihadi. Maoist score is much higher than jihadi in Pakistan.

And then immediately 21 (now 23)!
In this new Punjab Tennis Match, the freedom fighters have served. Will TFTA and Pakjabis return the serve?

ISLAMABAD, Jan 11 : With the flour crisis deteriorating by the day, officials and analysts are raising the spectre of a looming shortage of rice.
Analysts say that unchecked exports of rice are threatening to create a serious shortage. In November 2007 alone, the export of rice witnessed a growth of over 19 per cent. Figures for Dec 2007 are not available as yet.
The rice shortage is being experienced all over south and east Asia.
A source in the finance ministry said that former prime minister Shaukat Aziz had allowed export of 0.5 million tons of wheat at $200 a ton on a projection of a 0.8 million surplus stocks in May but the agreement was now importing at more than $500 a ton to meet the rising local demand.
Other rice-producing countries in the region, such as India and Vietnam, have taken measures to discourage export. However, Islamabad has not taken any action so far.
If increase in the export of rice was not checked, sound an expert, shortage of another food grain would be impossible to avert.
A senior official in the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (Minfal) told Dawn that the stock of rice in the country was almost nil at the beginning of the current season because exports over the past two years.
This year the total rice production stood at 5.5 million tons as against 5.4 million tons last year. The local consumption of all types of rice is around 2.3 million tons and the rest is available for export.
The official said that due to shortage of crop in south and east Asia, there was substantial demand of rice and the price had gone up in international market. There is a possibility of a marked increase in exports in the months ahead, he added.
According to official figures, rice export stood at 3.2 million tons in the last season as against 3.6 million tons in the previous seasons of the year 2006.
Al Qaeda [Images] or the Taliban were suspected by 17 per cent, while 16 per cent suspected other external forces, principally the United States (12 per cent) and India (4 per cent).
In response to a question about involving foreign investigators to probe the assassination, 46 per cent said it would be right while 30 per cent said it would be wrong. Another 24 per cent said they did not know.

Pioneer.com
B Raman
Of the numerous suicide bombings that took place last year all over that country, it is difficult to figure out how many were planned by terrorist organisations and how many manifested fits of insane rage by individual fanatics as Islamabad has failed to crack most of the cases
There were 56 suicide bombings in Pakistan in 2007, resulting in the death of 419 security personnel -- a majority of them from the police and paramilitary forces -- and 217 civilians. The most prominent victim was former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. As against this, there were only six such incidents in 2006 in which 46 members of the security forces and 91 civilians were killed.
Of the incidents in 2007, there were only four during the first six months of the year. The remaining 52 took place after Islamabad ordered commando action in Lal Masjid between July 10 and 13, 2007, in which about 300 tribal girls studying in a madarsa affiliated to the mosque were reportedly killed.
<b>Three events in the second half of 2007 led to a wave of suicide bombings -- the commando action in the Lal Masjid and the alleged death of a large number of tribal girls; the suicide of Abdullah Mehsud, a former inmate of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre in Cuba, when he was surrounded by the security forces in Baluchistan on July 27, 2007, and the Army operation in the Swat Valley of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) in December, 2007, against the members of the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) headed by Maulana 'FM Radio' Fazlullah, who had taken control of it, when the NWFP was ruled by a six-party coalition of religious fundamentalist parties called the Muttahida-Majlis-e-Amal (MMA).</b>
The coalition quit office in protest against Mr Pervez Musharraf's action of seeking his re-election as the President from the outgoing Assemblies elected in 2002. Thereafter, the Army sprang into action.
<b>The largest number of suicide attacks in a month happened in July. There were 15 suicide strikes between July 14 and 31, 2007 -- an average of one a day. The second largest number in a month was in December, 2007. There were 10, including the one in which Bhutto was assassinated</b>.
There were eight in August, seven in September and six each in October and November, 2007. One of the six in October was the unsuccessful attempt to kill Bhutto in Karachi on October 18. Of the 52 suicide attacks in the second half of 2007, five were against political leaders -- two against Bhutto in Karachi and Rawalpindi, one against some workers of her Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in Islamabad and one each against Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, a Pashtun leader of the PPP who had deserted her in 2002 and supported Mr Musharraf, and a junior Minister of the pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League (Q). Mr Sherpao was the Interior Minister at the time of the Lal Masjid raid. He and the junior Minister escaped unhurt. The PPP workers in Islamabad were targeted because Bhutto had supported the commando action in Lal Masjid.
There was one terrorist attack on some Chinese people working in Pakistan. In Hub, Baluchistan, Chinese engineers travelling by a bus escaped death narrowly when a suicide bomber attacked the coach. There was no attack on American targets despite a strong anti-US feeling prevailing in Pakistan.
The remaining 46 attacks were against targets associated with the Army, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the Special Services Group (SSG) and the Air Force. The police were not the primary targets, but a large number of them died because they were deployed in large numbers to protect the targets. Whenever the police guards suspected anyone and called him for frisking, the suspect blew himself up.
Of the 56 attacks during 2007, 23 were in the Federally-Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), 21 in the NWFP, including four in the Swat Valley, nine in Punjab, two in Baluchistan and one in Sindh. Of the 23 in the FATA, only two were in North Waziristan and one in the Bajaur Agency, where, according to the US, the terrorist infrastructure of Al Qaeda is located.
The remaining 20 were in South Waziristan, where there are no confirmed reports of any Al Qaeda infrastructure. All the attacks in that region came from areas which are controlled by the Mehsuds. In the areas controlled by other tribes, there were no incidents of suicide bombings. Two cantonments saw repeated suicide strikes -- Rawalpindi (5), where the General Headquarters of the Army are located, and Kohat (3) in the NWFP where a training centre for middle-level army officers is located.
During the second half of 2007, there were two calls for suicide attacks in reprisal of the raid on Lal Masjid by Pakistan Army commandoes. The first was issued by Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi of the Lal Masjid before he and his student supporters were killed by the commandoes. The second was allegedly by Osama bin Laden in his message coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 strikes in the US. <b>The call given by Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi before his death at the hands of the Army had a greater impact on the tribal population in South Waziristan and the Swat Valley than the call by bin Laden. The death of Ghazi was followed by one act of suicide bombing almost every day for 15 days</b>.
Since the police and investigating agencies have not been able to crack most of these cases, one does not know for sure how many of these were the outcome of outpouring anger of individuals not belonging to any organisation and how many were orchestrated and coordinated by organisations such as Al Qaeda or the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan of which Baitullah Mehsud is the Amir.

<b>Mudy Ji :</b>
The Pakistani Government has at last found a solution to Prevent the Railway Tracks being blown up by the âUnidentified Menâ aka Islamic Terrorists. Here goes :
<b>THE reported sale of the narrow-gauge 300 km of track in Balochistan along the Bostan-Zhob section during the current caretaker federal ministerâs tenure raises many questions. Going by the Caretaker Railways Ministerâs assertion that the track was obsolete and had to be written off anyhow, its disposal should have been undertaken through a transparent process. The sale of 300 km of track without any regard to existing terms of reference creates the risk of similar scrap being sold in the same manner.</b> The federal minister in his race for making Railways a profitable organization would be well advised to keep the procedures in view before undertaking any step. While his steps regarding the closing down of the loss-making trains along many routes; steps initiated during Sheikh Rasheedâs tenure, are commendable, the Bostan-Zhob track sale in no way should be made the precedent for disposing of scrap in such a manner.
IOW : <b>Mudy Ji</b> Na Rahayga Baans Na Bajaygi Baansuri i.e. Neither there will be Railway Tracks nor will they be Blown by by Pakistani Islamic Terrorists.
