Zardari inaugurates Chinese bank in Pakistan

BEIJING: The world should recognise the sacrifice and contribution Pakistan has made in its anti-terrorism war, visiting Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said here Friday. He also urged the world to help Pakistan build up its capacity for fighting terrorism. Pakistan has been a frontline state in fighting the war against terrorism and extremists, and the war has been very difficult, said Gilani during an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet.com. The country has made great sacrifices since a huge number of its soldiers and policemen, as well as innocent civilians, were killed in the fight against terrorism, said Gilani, who pays an official visit to China from Tuesday to Friday at the invitation of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. "Thirty thousand innocent children, women and others have been martyred; 5,000 brave solders have been martyred," Gilani said, adding that personnel with the law enforcement agents like police and

Leaks says Pak Army seeks drone help

Never demanded drone backup: Pak RAWALPINDI: A spokesman of ISPR has contradicted a news item published in section of press with regard to Army Chief wanted more drone support in year 2008. In a statement issued here Friday, the Spokesman said that in the past, there has only been sharing of technical intelligence in some areas. "No armed drone attack support has ever been asked for our operations which have been conducted using own resources", he said. He further clarified, that during Swat-Malakand Operation Rah-e-Rast in 2008-09, and South Waziristan Agency operation Rah-e-Najat in 2009-10, not even outside technical support was asked for. These operations were jointly conducted by Pakistan Army and Pakistan Air Force, the Spokesman concluded.

Meanwhile, newly released Wikileaks cables revealed that US military's drone strikes programme within Pakistan had more than just tacit acceptance of the country's top military brass, despite public posturing to the contrary. The cables state that the country's military was requesting the US for greater drone back-up for its own military operations as long ago as January 2008. According to cables, the US account of Kayani's request for "Predator coverage" does not make clear if mere air surveillance were being requested or missile-armed drones were being sought.

Pakistan, India discuss estuary ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and India began talks Friday to resolve a border dispute over a river estuary, as the nucleararmed rivals make efforts to revive a peace process derailed by the 2008 Mumbai attack. The South Asian neighbors conducted a survey of the Sir Creek estuary in 2007 as part of a peace process begun in 2004, before the Mumbai attack by Pakistan-based militants, that killed at least 166 people, brought the process to a halt. The two sides agreed to resume the process in February and held trade talks last month on boosting economic ties.

They last held talks on Sir Creek in 2007, officials said. "The talks were held in a very cordial atmosphere and there has been progress," said a Pakistani official familiar with the talks, who declined to be identified. The two sides are expected to meet again on Saturday and issue a joint statement, the official said. The dispute over the 100-km estuary has hampered exploration for oil and gas and led to the detention of hundreds of fishermen from the two countries when they stray across the See # 5 Page 11

WikiLeaks

Shahbaz halfhearted to restore CJ WASHINGTON: According to a fresh leak by the international whistleblower WikiLeaks, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif had agreed on temporary restoration of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry just for the sake of face saving. The WikiLeaks in its latest disclosure, revealed the account of a meeting between the then US consul general Brian De Hunt and Shahbaz Sharif. This meeting was held in March 2009 when the government of Shahbaz Sharif had been suspended while Nawaz Sharif was all set to go on a long march for the restoration of judges the very next day. The leak said that Shahbaz Sharif had agreed that talks could be held on the issue if the Chief Justice was to be restored only symbolically. He said his party could not take the risk of backtracking from its stance on the Chief Justice's restoration. He had admitted that Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry See # 4 Page 11

Economy Watch demands

New IMF chief should be from developing world ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Friday said new managing director of International Monetary Fund (IMF) should be from the developing world. This most important international institution has been facing credibility issues due to selection of politicians to run the show, it said. The new MD should not be a politician as there are many widely respected technocrats and governors of the central banks who would serve without political considerations, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President, PEW. The process of selection of new

MD should be transparent with all stakeholders on board as decisions taken behind closed doors are seldom welcomed; he said adding that international community should be taken on board, as whole world is a stakeholder in this critical issue. Many MDs of IMF have been blamed for taking decisions based on desire for popularity and pleasing electorate that has jeopardised development process in many countries, he said. Such a mindset must be changed as it has not helped reduce poverty in the world, Dr. Murtaza Mughal demanded. Failure of IMF at various occasions should serve as be a revelation

for those who pick candidate silently, he said. World doesn't need a IMF's chief who prefer popularity over merit and his future political considerations keep him busy. The concept of a European leading IMF and an American ruling World Bank needs to be altered as some Asian countries have also emerged on the global economic scene that cannot be ignored anymore. Majority of European leaders want to keep it that way which can force emerging economies to think for alternatives whom demands for greater representation at the IMF have been falling on deaf ears, said Dr. Mughal.-Online

European stocks weaken on Fitch's downgrade of Greece

Nawaz Ali KARACHI: Hopes of no change in discount rates and rumors that small investors would be exempted from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the upcoming budget allowed the Karachi Stock Exchange to experience bullish activities on Friday, pushing the index beyond 11,900 levels despite selling by foreigners. The benchmark KSE-100 index increased by 94 points to close at 11,973 points, KSE-30 index rose by 50 points to close at 11,590 points and KSE all-share index grew by 62 points to close at 8,325

points. "Optimistic investors took fresh positions on the expectations that there will be no major change in the policy rate. Monetary policy statement will be issued in the back drop of current account enjoying surplus", said Samar Iqbal, equity dealer at Topline Securities. The State Bank of Pakistan is scheduled to issue monetary policy statement for the next two months today (Saturday). Most of the analysts think that the key interest rate would be left unchanged at 14 per cent. On Friday trading started with 5 points up, after that

HK, China shares move sideways HONG KONG: Hong Kong shares inched higher on Friday but were susceptible to declines next week if weakness in large caps and persistently low turnover send the benchmark below the 200-day moving average, a support level that has largely held firm this year. The trading debut of Glencore on Wednesday will probably be the highlight of next week and could draw more investors back to the market and halt an extended slump in volumes. The Hang Seng rose 0.2 per cent on Friday largely because of a jump in China Unicom shares. The index fell 0.3 per cent on the week and is down 2.2 per cent in May as volatility in commodity prices threatens to end a two-month gaining streak. On the mainland, the Shanghai Composite let early gains slip to finish flat on Friday and down on the week as turnover hit a fresh four-month low as investors stayed on the sidelines. Mild gains in heavyweight financials and energy counters supported the broader market with PetroChina Co Ltd and China Citic Bank Corp Ltd the biggest support on the benchmark Shanghai Composite. "In the near term, the market will remain range-bound at least in the run up to the release of May economic data," said Cao Xuefeng, head of research at Huaxi Securities. "Limited liquidity will compound the situation." Until then, market conviction is likely to remain weak. On Friday, A-share turnover hit a second four-month low in three days, barely hitting RMB 83.7

billion, some 36 per cent below its 2011 daily average, now at RMB 131.7 billion. Bucking the low volume trend were material stocks, boosted on Friday after Beijing said on Thursday it will crack down on the smuggling of rare earths and impose quotas for exports of rare earth alloy products as part of its campaign to reform the sector. GLENCORE LISTING EYED Turnover on the Hong Kong exchange slipped below HK$60 billion for only the third time this year as market players shied away from making big bets. The market though held firm above its 200-day moving average, a level that has acted as good support for the benchmark over the past two months. "We believe that trading over the near term will remain volatile as investors lack conviction", said analysts from Daiwa Capital Markets in a note. "The cocktail of a widening EU sovereign-debt problem, rising core inflation globally, mixed economic data from both the US and China, and the end to the US Federal Reserve's QE2 programme would conspire to keep investors on the sidelines," said the analysts. One catalyst that could lift Hong Kong's turnover out of its extended slump is the trading debut of commodities trader Glencore, which is expected to start trading next Wednesday. Glencore shares listed in London were trading near their IPO price on Friday after ending its lukewarm debut day on Thursday unchanged at 530 pence. Reuters

Australia shares close lower SYDNEY: Australian stocks closed 0.5 per cent weaker on Friday after easing commodity prices dragged down the mining sector although the sentiment remained positive following solid gains for the week. BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto fell 1.7 per cent and 1.1 per cent respectively after prices for gold, oil and base metals all fell overnight after a mixed bag of US data spooked investors. The session was a sharp contrast to Thursday's 1.3 per cent gains following a rally in commodity prices. "There's no significant catalyst overnight to justify ongoing strength on the back of yesterday's improvements, so we're just seeing markets trade a bit sideways," said Shaw Stockbroking senior dealer Jamie Spiteri. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 24.21

points at 4,732.2, according to the latest available data. New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index continued the rally which has seen it push to a three-year high, gaining 8.4 points to 3,577.443, after domestic markets generally approved of the government's budget delivered on Thursday, which promised to return to surplus by 2014/15 amid forecasts of faster growth over the next few years. Qantas shares were little impacted by news one of its aircraft returned to Bangkok after an engine was shut down. The stock closed 0.5 per cent lower at A$2.11. Virgin Australia fell 1.6 per cent. New Zealand retirement village operator Ryman Healthcare posted a second day of healthy gains, rising 3 per cent to NZ$2.76 after reporting a record profit on Thursday. Reuters

market witnessed lackluster activities during the first session with index remaining mostly in the negative zone due to lack of investors' interest. The index touched the lowest level of the day, 11,840 points (-ve 38) and he first half closed with a loss of 2 points only. However, the second half was much impressive as investors took positions mainly in the oil, banking and fertiliser stocks over the hopes of no change in interest rates and rumors that the small investors would be exempted from payment of CGT in the upcoming budget. Positive news regard-

Nikkei slips on utilities TOKYO: The Nikkei stock average edged lower in thin trade on Friday and many investors moved to the sidelines saying the benchmark may stay stuck in recent narrow ranges while a furious debate over the future of Japan's power industry hangs over the market. Shares of banks have been hit as the market speculates how the government will structure Tokyo Electric Power's fund to compensate victims of the crisis at its Fukushima Daiichi plant, hurt in particular by comments about co-operation on loans from the government's top spokesman. Other utilities, which will be called on to contribute to the compensation scheme, have been further battered by concerns that power generation and distribution could be split in a rethink of the nation's energy policy. Weakness in these two sectors pushed the Nikkei to a 0.4 per cent decline this week and market players say the index may trade between 9,500-9,800 for the next few weeks. "We're stuck today and we'll probably stay stuck in the recent range in the mid-term," said Shoji Yoshigoe, deputy general manager at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. "The majority of serious players have been spooked by the political risk posed by the comments from the government about banks and utilities," he said. The benchmark Nikkei average closed down 0.1 per cent at 9,607.08 on Friday while the broader Topix shed 0.5 per cent to 827.77. Trade was thin, with 1.59 billion shares changing hands on the Tokyo stock exchange's main board, the lowest since April 26. The Nikkei's immediate resistance level is seen at its 25day moving average of 9,676, while support lies at the top of its daily Ichimoku cloud at 9,574.29, analysts said. After the bell, Tokyo Electric Power Co reported a net loss of $15 billion on Friday to account for the disaster at its Fukushima nuclear power plant, the biggest corporate loss in Japan outside of the financial sector. Spreads on Tepco's five-year credit default swaps, or contracts insuring its five-year debt against default, reached an alltime high of 762 basis points as of late Thursday. Tepco's CDS spreads have more than tripled since last week as tensions over a possible credit event heightened after Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the government's rescue scheme for the power company would not likely gain public support unless banks helped ease the utility's loan burden. Reuters

ing oil and gas sector too fueled buying. Index consolidated gains gradually and just before ringing of closing bells touched an intra-day high of 11,983 points (+ve 104) and finally close the session near those levels. Jawad Khan, equity dealer at JS Global Capital said that the E&P sector led the pack in the second half on news that Ministry of Petroleum accorded approval to the tight gas policy with 30 to 40 per cent increase in prices specified in the 2009 Petroleum Policy. Though market ended higher, but offshore investors were mainly on the selling side as

according to NCCPL data, foreign investors did a net selling worth $2.2 million. Volumes were marginally higher as 44.3 million shares traded during the day which is 4.3 million shares more as compared to a turnover of 40 million shares on Thursday. Bank Alfalah emerged the volume leader with 7.93 million shares followed by Pakistan Reinsurance with 4.57 million shares and Lotte Pakistan with 3.65 million shares. Out of total 336 active issues; 154 advanced and 74 declined while 108 issues remained unchanged.

Seoul shares bounce back SEOUL: Seoul shares rebounded on Friday after sharp falls in the previous session, but a seventh straight session of foreign selling capped gains. Foreign investors were net sellers of 117.2 billion won ($107.9 million) worth of stocks, setting their longest selling streak in nearly a year. "Smart, short-term money which flowed in March and April is withdrawing. I am getting a sense that a lot of it is European," said Chung Yunsik, a chief investment officer at ING Investment Management, adding that the pullback could be linked to ongoing debt issues and the fragility of the banking sector in Europe. "Uncertainty around the direction the US Fed will take is another thing making investors edgy. They are sensing the end of quantitative easing and liquidity measures is near," said Kim Hyoung-ryoul, a market analyst at NH Investment & Securities. Chung added, however, that foreign selling momentum was peaking and that he expected it to slow by June. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index finished up 0.76 per cent at 2,111.50 points.

Banks and construction plays underperformed after South Korea's financial supervisor said additional real estate project financing loans might go sour due to the prolonged slump in the property market. Shares in Woori Finance Holdings fell 0.4 per cent and Shinhan Financial Group slipped 0.42 per cent. Hyundai Engineering & Construction lost 1.3 per cent and Joongang Construction ended flat. Hana Financial Group bucked the banking sector trend, rising 4.2 per cent after news it and US buyout fund Lone Star were weighing extending the deadline for Hana's $4.1 billion takeover deal of Korea Exchange Bank. Defensive plays outperformed, with Lotte Confectionary rising 1.7 per cent and Orion Corp, a snacks maker, climbing 2.4 per cent The market drew support from a rebound in automakers. Shares in Hyundai Motor advanced 3.2 percent and Kia Motors climbed one per cent. KOSPI 200 June futures gained 1.55 points to 278.50 and the KOSPI 200 spot index ended up 2.12 points to 278.59. The junior Kosdaq market ended down 0.16 per cent at 486.24. Reuters

US stocks late-morning

Wall Street falls led by energy NEW YORK: US stocks fell on Friday, led by energy and commodity-related shares as the market fell in tandem with the euro in a dance driven by the euro zone's debt problems. While commodity shares were the hardest hit, the overall broader market reflected investors' concerns with more than two stocks falling for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. "Euro -- it's all about the euro. Across the board, your commodity stocks aren't doing well. But keep in mind, your other problem out there is that as the dollar strengthens, your multinational dollar-sensitive, large cyclical companies go down also," said Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist at Windham Financial Services in Charlotte, Vermont. "The euro disintegrates here and the market disintegrates." The euro lost nearly one per cent over disagreements on how to handle debt problems in Greece and ahead of a Spanish regional election, pulling U.S. crude oil prices down 0.9 per cent. Ahead of options expiration at Friday's close, traders exchanged about 194,000 contracts on the S&P 500 as puts outpaced calls by a ratio of 3.33:1 by 10:43 a.m. EDT, according to options analytics firm Trade Alert. That is higher than the 22day moving average of 1.67 for the SPX put-to-call ratio. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 92.78 points, or 0.74 per cent, to 12,512.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 9.35 points, or 0.70 per cent, to 1,334.25. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 22.71 points, or 0.80 per cent, to 2,800.60. The S&P 500 was on track for its third straight weekly decline, down 0.3 per cent for the week. Retailers also weighed the broader market as clothing chain Gap Inc plummeted 17.5 per cent to $19.21 after slashing its fullyear profit outlook late Thursday, saying higher price tags will not be enough to offset rising cotton costs. But Barnes & Noble Inc shares jumped 31.8 per cent to $18.59 after John Malone's Liberty Media Corp proposed buying the company for $1.02 billion. The largest US bookstore chain put itself up for sale nine months ago. The Morgan Stanley retail index fell one per cent. Reuters

Indian shares end week down MUMBAI: India's main share market index gained one per cent on Friday to post its biggest gain in a week, bolstered by strong global markets, but lingering worries about surging inflation and interest rates are seen weighing on sentiment in the near term. The market ended the week down 1.1 per cent despite the day's gains as investors had dumped stocks earlier on disappointing earning reports from some index heavyweights and expectations of a further rise in interest rates in Asia's thirdlargest economy. Larsen & Toubro was the biggest gainer in the main index, rising as much as 4.7 per cent to 1,670 rupees on Friday, bolstered by brokerage upgrades a day after the company posted a 17 per cent rise in quarterly profit. The benchmark 30-share BSE index ended the day up 1.02 per cent, or 184.69 points, at 18,326.09, after having risen as much as 1.6 per cent during the day on value buying in beaten down stocks. All but three of its components closed in the positive zone. The index has fallen about 11 per cent this year, with foreign funds turning net sellers of

Indian shares worth $1.66 billion in this month to Wednesday. The Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates in early May for the ninth time since March 2010 by a sharper-than-expected 50 basis points, and said fighting inflation was its priority, even at the expense of some short-term growth. The wholesale price index, the main gauge of prices in India, rose 8.66 per cent annually in April and the prospect of higher energy prices will keep pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates in June and maintain a hawkish stance. Shares in financials such as ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank rose 1.3 per cent and 1.8 per cent, respectively, on value buying at lower levels. The ICICI Bank stock had fallen 4 per cent in the last four sessions. Banking shares have been beaten down in recent sessions on fears that the series of rate hikes would hit demand for loans by corporate houses and retail borrowers, and put pressure onasset quality. Larsen & Toubro's stock closed up 3.6 per cent at 1,652.25 rupees, extending its gains of 5.9 per cent in the previous session, after the company posted a 17 per cent rise in

fourth-quarter net profit and gave a strong outlook. RBS raised its rating on L&T to "buy" from "hold" and raised the stock's price target, calling it the "best play on the road-based longer-term Indian capex story". Goldman Sachs also raised its target on L&T to 2,006 rupees from 1,987 rupees. State-run explorer Oil and Natural Gas Corp fell 1.4 per cent to 273.95 rupees after the company said that the additional subsidy burden imposed on it by the government would impact its earnings and share sale plans. An industry source told Reuters that Indian upstream firms will compensate state-run fuel retailers for about 38.7 per cent of their revenue losses on subsidised sales for the fiscal year ended in March up from 33.33 per cent earlier. The broader 50-share NSE index ended up 1.07 per cent at 5,486.35 points. In the broader market, gainers led losers in the ratio of 1.4:1 on total volume of over 509 million shares. World stocks and oil prices rose on Friday as the dollar lost ground broadly, after weak US economic data reinforced the view that the Federal Reserve will be slow to raise interest rates. Reuters

New Monetary Policy turns a non-event With federal budget 2012 scheduled to be announced in first week of June, announcement of Monetary Policy Statement due on May 21 has been reduced to a non-event. Now the business community is more concerned about what new taxes will be imposed and how many of the existing taxes may see further hike, especially because there seems not even the remotest possibility of imposition of tax on income from agriculture. It is also evident that the Government of Pakistan has the option to cut down its extravaganzas but political will is completely missing. Having exploited the conventional banks, the government is now adamant at mopping up the 'over following liquidity' of the Islamic banks and other financial institutions offering Shariah compliant products and services. In a very brief period the GoP has already mobilized Rs225 billion from various tranches of Sovereign Ijara Sukuk. To attract a larger investors' fraternity this Sukuk has been declared 'tradable' and its coupon rate is comparable with the average weighted cutoff yield of 6-month Treasury Bills. Some of those responsible for defining Monetary Policy, knowing the fact that the country suffers from cost-pushed inflation has stuck to the stance 'keeping interest rate high can help in containing inflation'. The irony of the fate is that they are just not ready to accept the fact that keeping interest rate high has caused more damage to the economy and also failed in bringing down the inflation rate in the country. It may me pertinent to remind them that higher global price of commodities (including crude oil and food products) and persistent hike in electricity and gas tariffs have been fueling inflation in the country. Shahid Kardar, the new incumbent governor of the central banks has been resisting the pressure by keeping the discount rate unchanged during last two reviews. Analysts strongly believe that even this time the central bank will most probably keep the rate unchanged. The key factor supporting this view is the CPI inflation having stabilized around 13% YoY. Added to this has been improvement in Pakistan's current account, posting a surplus $748 million for the first ten months of the ongoing financial year, providing major support in keeping exchange rate stable. Some experts have raised eyebrows on the hike in cutoff yields at the most recent auction of Treasury Bills and termed it an indicator of potential hike is discount rate. However, they ignore the fact that the hike in borrowing was to ease the circular debt issue plaguing the entire energy sector and the biggest hurdle in keeping the industries working at optimum capacity utilization, containing cost of production, maintaining Pakistani exporters competitive in global markets and above all producing exportable surplus. Cognizant of the fact that the IMF wants Pakistan to bring down budget deficit to 4 per cent of GDP, the time has come that the central bank follow policies focusing on supply side of the economy. Tax collection will automatically go up with increase in import of plant and machinery and raw material. Sales Tax collection will increase with the rise in consumption, an outcome of improvement in disposable income of the masses.

Syed Ali Nawaz Gilani

ince establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in May 1951, China and Pakistan have developed an allseason friendship which is based on equality, brotherhood and overall cooperation. In the past 60 years, the two countries have carried out multidimensional cooperation in varied fields. Despite unstable international situation, the China-Pakistan friendship remained strong and vibrant. This is only because both the countries enjoy high respect and trust over each other. Recent years have witnessed a frequent exchange of visits between the leadership of the two countries which further promoted and bonded cooperation in almost every area of the relationship. Being considered as the world's most booming economy, China has shown phenomenal growth in every sector of the economy and is moving in the right direction. It is therefore envisaged that China can play an extremely important role in building regional stability. In the early years of establishment of the Sino-Pakistan diplomatic relations, Pakistan remained inactive as it was an ally of the West. The period between 1957 and 1969 witnessed an important phase in the history of the Sino-Pakistan relations. During this period, historical changes took place in the bilateral relations, which changed the lukewarm attitude of Pakistan, and warm feelings were conveyed to China. This gesture opened a new chapter in the relationship and in the 1970s; steady developments were made to strengthen friendly cooperation between the two governments and their people. Since 1990, drastic changes have taken place on the international horizon, however, instead of being affected by the changing situations, the time-tested friendship and cooperation between China and Pakistan has further developed. China and Pakistan have witnessed steady growth in mutual investments in recent years. In the last few years, China invested more than USD1.3 billion in Pakistan. A large number of Chinese companies are presently working in Pakistan in different sectors viz. Oil and Gas, IT and Telecom, Power Generation, Engineering, Automobiles, Infrastructure and Mining. These include names like, ZTE, Huawei

Technologies Company Ltd., China National Machinery Imp/Exp Corporation, Metallurgical Construction Corporation of China, China International Water and Electric Corporation, China Petroleum, and Haier. Chinese goods are very much in demand in the Pakistani markets. Their experience of growth in trade is positive due to convenient trade flows and openness measures. China has become one of the top five Import sources of Pakistan. Major imports from China are machinery, chemicals, garments and other textile products, stationery, construction materials like tiles, sanitary wares and crockery. Machinery and electrical appliances are the major parts of overall imports. Bilateral trade had reached around USD7 billion in 2008 and is on the rise all the time. The balance is, however, in favour of China due to lesser exports by Pakistan. Tensions between the US and Pakistan over the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, and a speedy US withdrawal from Afghanistan are likely to reinforce Pak-China ties further. China is the only country that has taken a supportive stand for Pakistan after the Bin Laden operation. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 opened a new chapter of consultation and collaboration between China and Pakistan. The two countries were in total agreement that the Soviet military presence in Afghanistan posed a great threat to the security of the entire region and prepared to co-ordinate their policies to face the challenge. Support to Pakistan's security was the major feature of China's Afghan policy because they wanted to honour their often repeated commitments. In the face of international opinion, India did not condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan; as a reward, the flow of sophisticated Soviet arms to India increased many times. Regarding recent developments in Afghanistan, China and Pakistan have a close understanding of each other's point of view. China made it clear that US military strikes in Afghanistan should be target-specific, to avoid civilian casualties. President Jiang Zemin was quoted as saying that peace and stability in Afghanistan meant a great deal to China and Pakistan, as both

shared borders with Afghanistan. Pakistan and China have consulted with each other and co-operated closely since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. Both have played a constructive role in promoting a just and reasonable solution to the Afghan issue. China hopes that peace in Afghanistan will be achieved as soon as possible, a desire shared equally by Pakistan. In the recent past, a 100-member youth delegation of Pakistan visited China for a week long visit aimed at boosting exchanges between the two friendly nations and marking the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic ties. In November 2006, Chinese President Hu Jintao invited 500 young people from Pakistan to visit China within five years, when he paid a state visit to Pakistan. In response, the Pakistani Government also invited 500 Chinese youths to Pakistan. Being launched in 2007, the youth exchange program is aimed at increasing mutual understanding between the people of the two countries, especially in the Pakistan-China Friendship Year 2011 which indeed is a very good step towards boosting educational ties. However, it is very ironic to know that there is no proper Chinese language teacher in Pakistan which is very surprising. Understanding Chinese language is very important for the people of Pakistan because China is going to be the world`s biggest market in the near future. Chinese language has already become a necessity for most of the developed countries of the world in order to enhance bilateral trade and development. Although the Chinese language is considered to be difficult, however, we need to send our scholars and students to China for learning it, and then teaching it to others. This is high time to properly utilize the services of various groups of Friends of China in Pakistan who are serving for the cause since decades selflessly and whose efforts are acknowledged by both Pakistani and the Chinese side. In order to increase awareness for this friendly relationship among the youth of both countries, the vital role played by Pakistan-China Friendship Association, Listeners of Urdu Services from China Radio, International-official Broadcasting Institution of China having Urdu Service since more than 45 years and also the role played by Urdu Department of Peking University

must be appreciated for their result oriented efforts and to use these informal channels for further awareness. The Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) established in 1954 by the Chinese Government to promote people to people interaction is having very cordial working relationship with their Pakistani counterparts especially with this Province since more then three decades and this relationship will be further strengthened during forthcoming visit of CPAFFC President to Pakistan shortly. As a part of 60th Anniversary of Pakistan-China Diplomatic Relations, the Pakistan-China Friendship Association - Khyber Chapter organized many events to highlight the importance of the occasion as the whole year is declared as Year of Friendship - 2011. The special events started from January, 2011 when PCFA organized a speech competition whereas later on Radio China Listener's Club organized a colourful event of school children which was also attended by CRI representatives in Pakistan. Chinese Ambassador in Pakistan Liu Jian was Chief Guest at a special interaction luncheon arranged by PCFA in Islamabad. The Chinese Counselor for Culture, Sports, Education and Social-interaction visited Peshawar for meeting with Friends of China. All these events depict better understanding of both the countries for enhancing the friendship. The Pakistani Ambassador to China, Masood Khan is playing a vital role in promoting people to people interaction. Such efforts are essential for promoting social, as well as economic relationship between the two countries, which needs more attention specially in this critical hour of need for Pakistan. There is a lot of potential for trade between Pakistan and China. The reciprocal cooperation of Pakistan and China can lead both the countries towards progress and prosperity for strong Sino-Pak relations which have always been important. In the present geo-political and geo-strategic dynamics, Pakistan and China need each other more than ever.

Loss of OBL adds to Qaeda money woes D

eprived of Osama bin Laden's fundraising starpower, al Qaeda's commanders face the prospect of a cash crunch that would complicate the task of evading capture by their U.S. pursuers. The likely successor to Osama bin Laden is Ayman al-Zawahri, an Egyptian who lacks the former Saudi-born figurehead's depth of contacts among potential donors in the Gulf, a region seen in the West as an important funding source for militant groups. Counter-terrorism officials caution that it does not take much money to launch terrorist attacks, and that for much of al Qaeda's network, donations appear less important. Crime and kidnap, for example in Iraq, Yemen, Mali and Niger, have proven lucrative funding sources for al Qaeda locally. But for the core leaders of al Qaeda, believed to be sheltering in Pakistan, donations remain key, and so a large fall in revenues could threaten their ability to pay for and maintain safe houses and networks of discreet support. While a strike on the West directed by al Qaeda's central leadership might inspire fresh donations, it is survival, rather

than new operations, that is likely to be the commanders' top short-term priority, counter-terrorism officials say. Mustafa Alani, a security analyst at the Gulf Research Center based in Dubai, said there were two sorts of donors in the Gulf who habitually gave to bin Laden. There were those motivated by ideology to support armed action against the West, and those who gave "because of a personal connection, because they trusted or admired bin Laden". "The latter category is going to dry up, definitely." London-based journalist Abdel-Bari Atwan, who interviewed bin Laden in 1996, said he understood that most of the donations received by al Qaeda still came from the Gulf, where the widespread use of cash makes tracing illegal payments hard. "But now he is gone, it will not be flowing as it was." Zawahri is viewed with caution by some militants in the Gulf, partly because he is Egyptian and partly because he is seen, rightly or wrongly, as secretive and conspiratorial. "Bin Laden had appeal for them, Zawahri doesn't," Saudi businessman Hani Yamani

told Reuters. Yamani, a board member of Saudi-based charity the International Islamic Relief Organisation, said Gulf charities had cracked down on the diversion of relief money to al Qaeda. As a result, he said, al Qaeda's leaders had probably had to ask for money from their offshoot groups, who had income from crime. QAEDA TRAINERS NOW DEMAND FEES A decade ago, things were very different. Al Qaeda's fund-raising provided an estimated annual budget of $30 million at the time of the 2001 attacks on U.S. targets. According to U.S. military documents provided to media organisations by the website WikiLeaks, a Pakistani detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison called Saifullah Paracha arrested in 2003 received at one point for "safekeeping" between $500,000 and $600,000 from Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the operational planner of the Sept. 11 attacks. It would be surprising to see such large sums nowadays in dealings among al Qaeda core commanders, not least because they have made no

secret of their money worries. Al Qaeda has made repeated public appeal for donations to its followers in online statements. Adding to the picture of financial strain, al Qaeda trainers in Pakistan have demanded up front payments to cover expenses and "tuition fees" from would be-fighters arriving from overseas to learn guerrilla warfare and bombing skills, according to testimony court from captured militants. Most analysts speculate the decline in revenues is driven in part by tighter curbs on charities in the Arab world that have prevented the diversion of relief funds for violent ends. The raid that killed bin Laden made this bad financial situation even worse. The trove of information seized in the assault is likely to provide "a starburst" of connections and clues shedding light on al Qaeda's support networks, when powerful data mining tools are applied, says former U.S. counter-terrorism official Fred Burton, now vice president at risk consultancy Stratfor. QAEDA SUPPORT NETWORK "Tracing the money trail

will play an active role in showing ... a web of safe houses, travel and bank accounts," he said. Zawahri, who worked as a doctor at one point in Saudi Arabia, is not totally without appeal in the Gulf. Anna Murison, head of jihad forecast at Exclusive Analysis, Murison pointed out that in at least one case al Qaeda's Yemen based Gulf branch had raised money in the region using a message by Zawahri that was saved to a fundraiser's mobile phone, "suggesting his endorsement does carry some weight". But overall his funding potential is seen as poor. Richard Barrett, head of the U.N. al Qaeda and Taliban sanctions committee, said there might be a brief increase in donations "as a sort of sympathy vote" after bin Laden's death. But the loss of a man who inspired broad support meant the group's leaders would probably now struggle for funds, he said. Also, "donors may now wonder where al Qaida is headed under a new leadership. Saudi donors may, for example, be less interested in giving to al Qaeda if its focus will be on Egypt."-Reuters

US crude falls below $97 as dollar jumps OPEC unlikely to increase output targets, analysts say LONDON: Oil fell sharply on Friday with US light crude tumbling more than $2 towards $96 per barrel as the dollar rose and investors worried about the outlook for global growth and about the health of the euro-zone. The euro fell against the dollar as wariness about disagreements on how to tackle Greece's debt and ahead of a Spanish regional elections caused investors to cut back bullish euro bets before the weekend. US light crude oil futures for June, which were due to expire later on Friday, were trading around $96.40 per barrel, down $2.04 by 1400 GMT, after hitting an intra-day high of $99.60. Brent crude for July dropped $2.12 to $109.30. The West's energy watchdog, the International Energy

Indian rupee edges down MUMBAI: The Indian rupee ended a tad lower on Friday after moving in a tight band, as the dollar's gains overseas and importers' demand for the greenback offset positive local shares. The partially convertible rupee ended at 45.0100/0200 per dollar, marginally weaker than Thursday's close of 44.97/98. It traded in a narrow range of 44.8875-45.0225 during the day. Persistent dollar demand for defence and oil payments also weighed on the local unit. The one-month onshore forward premium was at 22.50 points from the previous 23.50. The one-month offshore non-deliverable forward contracts were quoted at 45.16, weaker than the onshore spot rate. In the currency futures market , the most traded nearmonth dollar-rupee contracts on the National Stock Exchange the MCX-SX and United Stock Exchange were at 45.0725, 45.0725 and 45.0900, respectively, with the total volume at $7.18 billion.

Agency (IEA), on Thursday urged OPEC to increase oil production to protect the global economy and appeared to suggest its members could release emergency stockpiles if OPEC failed to act. But analysts say the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is extremely unlikely to raise output. National Australia Bank commodities economist Ben Westmore said OPEC was unlikely to change its output targets at its meeting in Vienna on June 8. "The relative abundance of crude stocks on the international market would be justification enough for (OPEC) to leave production quotas unchanged," he said. "All things considered, no change to OPEC production

quotas appears to be the most likely outcome from the upcoming discussions." Oil prices have surged this year in part due to concerns that unrest will spread from Libya and Syria to other countries that are major oil exporters, just at a time when demand from emerging nations such as China and India continues to rise. "The risk premium... is expected to persist through 2011 with an orderly near-term resolution of the conflict in Libya difficult to envisage," Westmore said. Investors awaited data from the New York-based Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI), which was due to publish its weekly index, a measure of future US growth, at 1430 GMT. -Reuters

Pound Sterling

holds steady LONDON: Sterling was supported versus the dollar on Friday after a strong UK retail sales reading the previous day, but its upside was limited due to concerns that the economy is still struggling even as inflation stays high. Key technical resistance stood in the way of a rise in the pound against the dollar, while the UK currency was on the back foot against the euro, which managed to cling on to gains made against its US counterpart this week. Sterling ends the week largely unchanged against the dollar, unable to gain upward traction despite data showing rising UK inflation and a surge in retail sales in April due to holiday-related demand and good weather. At best, the figures do little to change expectations that UK interest rates will not rise until late this year. At the same time, some analysts argue last month's rise in consumer demand was

unsustainable, and that a rate rise this year may derail the economy's fragile recovery. Such concerns would keep investors wary of getting too excited about the pound, reducing the chances of significant gains in the near term. In London trading, sterling was flat on the day at $1.6230, hovering below $1.6283, its 55-day moving average which traders said was providing upside resistance. The euro was little changed at 88.30 pence. Market participants expect the euro to stay supported against the dollar as investors become more focused on US fiscal problems, and that this would boost the pound versus the dollar. For the moment, some traders said they were interested in buying sterling at $1.6170/80 and selling on a rise to $1.6240/50, which may keep sterling hemmed in a near-term range. -Reuters

Copper up, investors see China demand LONDON: Copper rose on Friday, regaining ground after losses in the previous session, as investors looked to positive signals from top consumer China. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange closed at $9,071 a tonne from $8,950 at Thursday's close, registering the biggest weekly gain in five weeks. Copper inventories in warehouses monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 14.6 per cent from last Friday, the exchange said. However, copper's recovery is in doubt as patchy US data, a debt crisis in the euro-zone and persistent concerns about global economic growth mean commodities will remain under pressure. At LME warehouses, rising copper inventories have put pressure on the metal. The latest data shows stocks fell, but total inventories are within 1 per cent of 10-month highs and are still up nearly one quarter this year. LME stocks of aluminium fell by 1,075 tonnes, off a record high level of 4.71 million tonnes hit on Wednesday. Cash aluminium to the threemonth contract is now in a $17.50 a tonne contango, or discount, that could discourage deliveries to LME warehouses. Aluminium closed at $2,500 from $2,499 a tonne. "Aluminium looks finely balanced, with strong demand growth being met by even stronger supply growth in 2011. A rising supply surplus means stronger price gains should be capped," ANZ said in a note. "However, a potential rebound in oil prices and a developing energy supply squeeze in China could create a tighter supply backdrop." Nickel finished at $23,540 -having touched its lowest since December -- from $23,555 a tonne on Thursday. "While nickel has been the only metal to exhibit consistent weekly stock draws on the London Metal Exchange since the start of 2011, nickel inventories remain very high by historical standards," National Australia Bank said in a note. Battery material lead ended at $2,507 a tonne from $2,473 a tonne. Zinc closed at $2,151 from $2,135 a tonne and tin at $27,750 from $28,250 a tonne. -Reuters

Euro down after 4-days of gains; Spain weighs NEW YORK: The euro fell against the US dollar on Friday after four straight days of gains, on worries about the outcome of Spain's regional elections this weekend and an uncertain Greek debt situation. Traders said the market will be focused on Friday's close for the euro, which has ended each day higher this week. A close below Thursday's would stall the euro's retracement rally from the sevenweek low hit last Monday, suggesting the market may have seen the top in the single currency for now. Spain's Socialist government, faces major losses to the centerright opposition Popular Party and analysts are wary that there could be the potential for unearthing of unknown financial problems. In early New York trading, the euro was last at $1.4169, down 1 per cent on trading platform EBS, although on the week it was still up 0.6 per cent. It hit a session low of $1.4161 after earlier hitting a session high at $1.4345. A weekly close below the euro's 55-day average around $1.4301 could push it toward that seven-week trough at $1.4048.

The Greece debt crisis remains a prominent background factor in the market, with the European Central Bank firm in its opposition to a debt restructuring. The ECB notes that the country can pay back its debt by sticking to the EU/IMF plan without resorting to a restructuring. ECB Governing Council member Marko Kranjec said as much on Friday, adding that he knew of no discussion from any country ever having wanted to exit the euro. The euro also gave ground gains against the yen, to trade 0.3 per cent down on the day at 116.41 yen, although it stayed well above a recent two-month low near 113.40 yen. The dollar recovered earlier falls to trade up 0.3 per cent at 75.345 against a basket of currencies, though it stayed below its recent peak of 76.00 struck earlier this week. The dollar was up 0.1 per cent at 81.70 yen. The Bank of Japan kept policy unchanged, holding interest rates steady in a zero to 0.1 per cent range on Friday. But in surprise move, Deputy Governor Kiyohiko Nishimura dropped a proposal to loosen policy further. -Reuters

Yuan ends higher SHANGHAI: The yuan strengthened for a third day against the dollar on Friday after China set a firmer midpoint, fuelling expectations that the Chinese currency could reach another record high soon. Dealers said the yuan was strongly poised to break through resistance at 6.49 in the near term as the yuan's downward correction was expected to end. Dealers said the yuan had potential to rise 5-6 per cent this year as China needs to use the yuan's exchange rate to help fight consumer inflation, which in April eased a touch to 5.3 per cent from a 32-month high in March of 5.4 per cent. Spot yuan ended at 6.4926 versus the dollar compared with Thursday's 6.5039. The Chinese currency has now appreciated 5.14 per cent since it was depegged from the dollar in June 2010, and 1.47 per cent since the start of this year. Before trade began, the PBOC set the yuan's daily mid-point at 6.4983 against the dollar, stronger than Thursday's 6.5048. Offshore, one-year non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) were bid at 6.3640, almost flat from 6.3650 at Thursday's close. Their implied yuan appreciation in a year's time inched up to 2.11 per cent from 2.09 per cent. -Reuters

Gold declines as dollar climbs on euro worries LONDON: Gold dipped on Friday as the euro fell against the dollar on worries about the outcome of Spain's regional elections and an uncertain Greek debt situation, while options expiry next week also kept prices in a tight range. Bullion has dropped about 5 per cent since rallying to a lifetime high near $1,575 an ounce in early May. Spot gold fell to $1,486.95 before steadying at $1,495.05 at 1441 GMT from $1,491.60 late in New York on Thursday. Silver traded at $34.68 from $34.95, well below a record at $49.51 an ounce in April. "Gold was swept down with the euro," said Tom Kendall of Credit Suisse. "If the dollar is coming stronger in the short

term, then gold will trade as a currency and physical buys will lag." On the charts, gold appears to be breaking out to the upside, said fund manager Dennis Gartman of industry newsletter TheGartmanLetter in a note. "Gold's been given every opportunity to break this week, and it has refused to do so, and now it appears in the process of breaking out to the upside instead. We are much impressedâ&#x20AC;Śenough so to add to our gold positions," he said. Silver has been supported by retail investor interest, but following recent losses some investors are still choosing to cut their losses, said FastMarkets in a note.

"The drop in iShare silver holdings yesterday again implies speculative investors are opting to improve their cash positions following recent volatility and margin increases, and suggests rallies will continue to prompt bouts of long liquidation, with broad range trade to continue ahead of the next round of key economic data indicators." Holdings of the largest silver-backed exchange-tradedfund (ETF), New York's iShares Silver Trust, dropped 2.32 per cent on Thursday from Wednesday. In other metals, platinum traded at $1,759.74 an ounce from $1,762.50, while palladium changed hands at $728.25 from $724. -Reuters

aircraft. As the pressure mounts in Washington, Gilani has courted "best friend" China, its biggest arms supplier, during the four-day visit that ended on Friday. Pakistan's already strained ties with the U.S., a major donor, were battered after US forces on May 2 killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a garrison town near Islamabad. The fact that bin Laden was found in Abbottabad, and had been living there for years, has prompted many in Washington to call for a review of the billions of US civilian and military aid that Pakistan receives. The Wall Street Journal originally quoted an unnamed high-ranking Pakistani Air Force spokesman, in Beijing with Gilani, as saying the jointly developed JF-17 jets would be in addition to another batch of the same aircraft that is currently being assembled in Pakistan. The JF-17 "Thunder" programme dates back to 1999 and is aimed at reducing Pakistan's dependence on Western companies for advanced fighters. The jets are a single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft, that Mukhtar said are being jointly produced between China and Pakistan. "There was a loan given for starting the manufacturing of this because the Chinese will also buy these aircraft," he said on Chinese financing for the order. The Pakistani Air Force has ordered 150 "Thunders", which it may increase to 250. The 50 mentioned in the report are likely part of the larger order. In February 2010, Pakistan fielded its first JF-17 squadron with 14 aircraft. The close ties between China and Pakistan reflect long-standing shared wariness of their common neighbor, India, and a desire to hedge against US influence across the region. Premier Wen Jiabao assured Gilani on Wednesday of China's "all-weather friendship" and said Pakistan had made "huge sacrifices" in the international struggle against terrorism. "China-Pakistan strategic cooperative relations have infused the two countries' relationship with new force and vitality," President Hu Jintao told Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari during a phone call on Friday to celebrate 60 years of relations, Xinhua news reported. Those comments contrasted sharply with the US Congressmen's criticism of Pakistan's failure to know bin Laden's whereabouts and insinuations that its powerful military was in some way complicit in hiding the al Qaeda leader. For its part, Pakistan is furious at the US for violating its sovereignty by staging the secret raid that killed the world's most wanted man. -Reuters

economic cooperation while maintaining the all-dimensional relationship. Gilani expressed that in light of the all-dimensional relationship, economic cooperation should be further enhanced. He proposed to target for a bilateral trade volume of 15 billion US dollars within two years. "Our trade at the moment is nine billion US dollars, we want to enhance it to 15 billion US dollars with the expansion of two years, and this is doable. "But I feel that there should be more emphasis on one issue and that is economy," he said, adding Pakistan should be economically stable as it is fighting an anti-terrorism war for which Pakistan pays dear. Recalling the Pakistan-China Entrepreneurs Forum held the previous day, Gilani expressed again there is still great potential to explore in bilateral economic cooperation. At the forum, he also said though China-Pakistan all-weather friendship has "Beat the test of time," their corporate sectors should work together to "inject new dynamics into their partnership and lead the process to take the friendship to new heights." He said that whatever the conditions are, whether nationally or internationally, the two countries focused on and protected each other's core interests. Gilani said China is the first country to make an open statement to show its respect for Pakistan's sacrifices for and contribution to the war against terrorism after Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. operation in Pakistan. Gilani, who is in China for a four-day visit, said that it is his fourth visit here, but the first formal official visit. He said that this demonstrated the friendship between the two countries and that the Pakistani people were grateful for the leadership and people of China. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Pakistan, and is also the China-Pakistan Friendship Year. Gilani's four-day visit to China is part of a series of celebration activities. The Prime Minister said that the exchange of youth will promote people-to-people contacts between China and Pakistan. He expressed the hope that there should be more exchanges of youth in the future. Earlier in a speech delivered in Peking University, Gilani said he would like to encourage the university's faculty and students to give special attention to broadening collaboration with Pakistani universities and academia. At present, 6,000 Pakistani students are studying at different universities in China and the number would rise to 10,000 in the next few years. What's more, 500 scholarships will be exchanged in three years. Gilani is on an official visit to China from May 17 to May 20, at the invitation of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, as this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations. -Agencies

support this request" but offered trained US Marines (known as JTACs) to coordinate air strikes for Pakistani infantry forces on ground. General Kayani "demurred" on the offer, pointing out that having US soldiers on ground "would not be politically acceptable." As reported earlier in The Express Tribune, WikiLeaks cables revealed that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani allowed drone strikes in the tribal areas of Pakistan, saying they would protest the attacks in the National Assembly and then ignore them. According to a leaked cable published on NDTV, in an earlier meeting on January 9, 2008 with Codel Lieberman, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Kayani agreed that increased training and exercises with the US would be of great value, but urged that US-Pakistan military engagement remain low-key for domestic political reasons. Lieberman underscored need for Pakistan to hold free, fair elections in February. They also discussed the need to add a humanitarian aspect to Pakistan's counterinsurgency strategy. Kayani noted four areas in which the Army was requesting technical assistance. -Agencies

He said Chaudhry Iftikhar had also taken oath under Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) and later on he could be removed if legislation was made in the light of the provisions of Charter of Democracy (CoD). Shahbaz Sharif also proposed formation of a constitutional court having representatives from the two major parties to block implementation on the decisions coming from the CJ. He also agreed that after the restoration of Chief Justice, President may set up benches and curtail the powers of CJ in connection with taking suo moto notices. In another revelation, WikiLeaks said that Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif had decided to give all out support to the lawyers movement for restoration of deposed judges following the decision of the Supreme Court in which they were declared ineligible to participate in elections. The leak further disclosed that before the SC decision PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar while talking in the US embassy said 95 percent of the members of PML-N were against becoming part of the lawyers' movement. But after the SC verdict, PML-N had no other choice but to support this movement. -Agencies

poorly demarcated border. The Sir Creek issue is one of the more easily resolved issues between India and Pakistan, analysts say, and could lead to progress on more contentious disputes. One is the Siachen, the world's highest battlefield in Kashmir, where thousands of troops are holed up in freezing temperatures that have killed more soldiers than fighting. But the broader dispute over Kashmir in the Himalayan region, divided between the two countries and claimed in full by both, is by far the most complicated issue lying at the heart of decades of hostility. Pakistan and India have fought three wars, two of them of Kashmir, and came dangerously close to a fourth in 1999 and 2002. -Agencies

US Navy SEALs killed bin Laden on May 2, not far from the capital Islamabad. The United States says there is no evidence Pakistan's leadership was aware he was in their country, and top US defence officials, speaking in Washington this week, cautioned against any action that could harm ties with Islamabad. -Reuters

Chasing high-valued targets

US vows more raid despite Pak dismay WASHINGTON: Despite Pakistan's warnings that it would not tolerate another US raid, the US has made clear that it would go after the al Qaeda leadership anywhere in the world. "We've made it clear to people around the world that if we locate someone who has been part of the al Qaeda leadership, then you get him or we will get him," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with CBS News here the other day. Asked if after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, she would recommend more unilateral US raids if it knew the whereabouts of other key al Qaeda figures in Pakistan, she declined "to comment on any "hypotheticals". "But I think it should be sufficient

to say that the United States has made it clear from the very moment we were attacked that we would go after those who had attacked us. "Bin Laden was our primary target. The president made a gutsy decision. We were very pleased that the operation succeeded," Clinton said. Asked what the US was going to do about Pakistan, Clinton said that as Defence Secretary Robert Gates had noted, "we believe that it was not proven that anybody at the top of the government in Pakistan knew where bin Laden was, but it seems likely that somebody did know". But Clinton recalled that the first time she went to Pakistan, she had told the Pakistanis: "It's hard to believe that somebody in your government somewhere - and it could

be some very low-level person doesn't know where he is." "We've had good cooperation on many important strategic interests of the United States with Pakistan, and we have supported them in their own fight against the extremists who are killing and threatening their people. But we expect more," she said. The US was now "having very candid conversations with our Pakistani partners", Clinton said, "about what more we can do together". Asked about her plans to go to Pakistan, she said: "Well, we'll see how the conversations go." US special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman was there now, following up on some of the areas of concern, Clinton said. -Online

WASHINGTON/ TRIPOLI: Only Muammar Gaddafi's exit from power will allow Libya a democratic transition and the clock is ticking on his four-decade rule, US President Barack Obama said. NATO said on Friday it had sunk eight of Gaddafi's warships as military and diplomatic pressure builds on the Libyan leader, whose departure Obama described as "inevitable." Obama was speaking in an address on the Middle East and North Africa where uprisings this year have toppled authoritarian rulers in Tunisia and Egypt and inspired the Libyan revolt. "Time is working against Gaddafi. He does not have control over his country. The opposition has organized a legitimate and credible Interim Council," Obama said in Washington. "When Gaddafi inevitably leaves or is forced from power, decades of provocation will come to an end and the transition to a democratic Libya can proceed," he said, defending his decision to take military action against the Libyan leader's government. Three months into the unrest, rebels control eastern Libya and pockets in the west but the conflict has reached a stalemate as rebel attempts to advance on Tripoli have stalled.

Obama's comments echoed NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen who said military and political pressure was weakening Gaddafi and would eventually topple him. "Obama is still delusional," Libyan government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said. "He believes the lies that his own government and media spread around the world. It's not Obama who decides whether Muammar Gaddafi leaves Libya or not. It's the Libyan people." Tripoli however reiterated a ceasefire offer, saying forces were ready to withdraw from cities if the rebels laid down arms. But the rebels have rejected all advances so far, saying they cannot trust Gaddafi and insisting on his departure. A series of apparent high-level defections suggest Gaddafi is struggling to hold his inner circle together. Libya's top oil official Shokri Ghanem has left and not been heard from for days although his name has appeared on a list on a flight to Vienna. Tripoli says he is on an official visit to Europe but Tunisian and rebel sources say he has defected. Senegal late on Thursday recognized Libya's Benghazi-based rebels

as the legitimate opposition and said they should be given international support to lead transition to democratic elections. Acting under a UN mandate, NATO allies including France, Britain and the United States are conducting air strikes that aim to stop Gaddafi using military force against civilians. NATO aircraft sank eight warships in overnight attacks on the ports of Tripoli, Al-Khums and Sirte, the alliance said. Libyan officials took journalists to Tripoli port where a small ship spewed smoke and flames, and cast doubt on whether boats targeted by NATO had been involved in fighting. Mohammad Ahmad Rashed, general manager of Tripoli's port, said six boats had been hit by missiles. The boats, five belonging to the coastguard and a larger naval vessel, had been undergoing maintenance since before the start of the fighting, he told reporters, adding that the port was still functional and capable of handling commercial traffic, It also showed footage of Gaddafi meeting a Libyan politician in Tripoli. Government spokesman Ibrahim said the politician had been in a delegation that met Russian officials in Moscow to explore possibilities for a ceasefire. -Reuters

India rejects recalling wanted-list from Pak NEW DELHI: The Indian Government Friday ruled out recalling the '50 most wanted' list given to Pakistan after two more fugitives figuring in it were traced in India but said the document is being reviewed. "The entire list is being reviewed. We have no plan to recall the list from Pakistan," Secretary, Internal Security in the Home Ministry, U K Bansal told reporters here. While referring to the CBI's action to suspend and transfer some officials responsible for the goof up, he said responsibility has been fixed and action has been taken. "The responsibility has been fixed as it is a matter of internal importance. The issue is being probed," he said. Bansal also said that the Home Ministry will conduct an exercise to ensure that there is no such mistake in the future. In another major embarrassment for the Government, two more

'fugitives' in India's most wanted list handed over to Pakistan were found to be in the country, following which a CBI inspector was suspended and two of its senior officials --SP and Deputy SP -- transferred. CBI Director A P Singh has ordered a complete review of the Interpol-wing and the most wanted list will be thoroughly scrutinised in consultation with state police and other agencies. India's list of '50 most wanted' has the name of Feroz Abdul Khan, alias Hamza, 51, an accused in 1993 Mumbai blast case, who was arrested from a village in Navi Mumbai in February last year and was handed over to the CBI for further investigation. The CBI had issued an Interpol Red Corner Notice against Khan in 1994 but the notice was not withdrawn even after the agency has got his custody. "The CBI has conveyed to the

Home Ministry that the lapse was on the agency's part. When the CBI forwarded the list to the MHA, they forgot to delete the name of this person," a Home Ministry spokesperson said. Khan is alleged to have facilitated transport and distribution of arms and ammunitions during the blast and subsequently. Mumbai Police had alleged that following Dawood Ibrahim's instructions, Khan arranged for landing of arms allegedly used in the blast. In the second instance, the name of Raj Kumar Meghen, a United National Libration Front leader, figures in the list. He is now in the custody of the National Investigation Agency. His name continues to figure on the Interpol watch-list for terrorism, use of explosives and organised crime. Earlier, Wazhur Kamar Khan, whose name had also figured in India's most wanted list, was traced in Mumbai. -Online
