ROOSTERS: A Binori Madrassah Institute of Higher Mathematics student was arrested today at Ishlam-bad International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator and some goats. Following standard practise, he was sold to the United States for $0.72 at the 'miscreant exchange' of Karachi. Upon his arrival in the United States, at a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious “Al-gebra Movement”. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of “Math Instruction”. ” Al-gebra is a problem for us,” Gonzales said. “They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country." As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle.” When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes. I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line." President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their plane on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex." Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks." |

ISLAMABAD: Federal Law Minister Wasi Zafar repeatedly hurled naked abuse in a live Voice of America (VoA) radio discussion on chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry's deposition, which was heard worldwide on Monday night. There were three participants in the telephonic discussion — Wasi Zafar, constitutional expert Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan and Ansar Abbasi, Editor Investigations, The News, Islamabad. Ansar joined the talk a bit late and said he fears to say anything because of Wasi Zafar's peculiar temperament and track record. As he uttered these remarks, the law minister came in and said whoever gives him a "big arm", he would do the same to his family. As Wasi Zafar heard Ansar joining the programme, he lost his cool and started hurling abuse. He was angered because of a story headlined "Law minister facing long arm of the law" that Ansar had filed and was published in The News on August 13, 2005. It said the prime minister and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain would decide the fate of the law minister for his son's thrashing of a PIA passenger in his presence at the Karachi airport. Earlier in the programme, Aitzaz Ahsan had also threatened to break off due to the foul language of the law minister. But he was persuaded by the host to continue. Ansar regretted the repetition of the abuse by Wasi Zafar and said the world was listening to the kind of language the minister was using. A caller from Pishin, Naeem Taseer, also wondered what question should be asked from this kind of a minister. Later, Wasi Zafar vehemently denied on Geo that he hurled any abuse on the VoA programme. However, the audio played by the TV network gave a lie to his assertion. The minister again poured his anger on Ansar, saying he was corrupt and a blackmailer, who gets money for his stories. In the same programme, Ansar said there was a serious problem in the minister's personality. He said the high-ups should take notice of such buffoons who are bringing a bad name to Pakistan. The other day, the Jaranwala Bar Association cancelled Wasi Zafar's basic membership and recommended to the Pakistan Bar Council that his licence should be revoked. Wasi Zafar earned notoriety when he threatened a chairman of the Capital Development Authority, who had refused to give a concession to him regarding an industrial plot. He and his sons had also thrashed a person at the Karachi airport in 2005, who objected to the minister's sons jumping the queue. Later, he slapped a waiter of a five-star hotel in Islamabad over a trivial matter. |

Pakistani Passengers put on special .... list By Paul Sperry © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com Pakistani travelers are the focus of a new temporary watchlist the federal government has created to identify high-risk passengers entering the United States, WND has learned. The Department of Homeland Security has programmed a computer system that screens inbound passengers for signs of (TFTA) to flag certain individuals traveling from Pakistan. The system automatically creates a "one-day lookout" for the individuals in the official (VIP) database. U.S. authorities are on high alert ... after American spy satellites recently turned up photographic evidence of al-Qaida training camps inside Pakistan, U.S. officials say. According to internal DHS documents obtained by WND, the department has directed customs officers to escort passengers identified by the "one-day lookouts" to secondary inspection, where they are subjected to a battery of questions to determine if they have visited terror camps in Pakistan. American citizens of Pakistan descent also are under increased (admiration). Over the past few years, U.S. authorities have (entertained) or (studied) several Pakistani-American men who have trained at the camps during trips to Pakistan. One camp used photos of President Bush for target practice. "The camps are a big concern," said a DHS official, who requested anonymity. "We are questioning U.S. citizens, as well as Pakistani nationals, as they come back to the states if the computer says they might have (Mujaheddin) ties." Vice President (Mijjile) Cheney earlier this week confronted Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf with "compelling" evidence of active al-Qaida camps inside Pakistan. The two met face-to-face in Islamabad. Cheney's secret visit revealed new cracks in an already fragile alliance between Washington and Islamabad in the war on terror. Musharraf has denied the existence of terror camps in his country, even as authorities have traced major British terror plots back to al-Qaida-tied madrassas and camps in Pakistan. DHS refers to the ramped-up screening process for Pakistani and other high-risk travelers as "augmented primary." The "one-day lookout" is usually the result of analysis conducted on passenger information submitted by the airline prior to an international flight's arrival in the U.S. Muslim-rights groups and Democratic leaders in Congress have complained the government's use of such information to "profile" potential terrorists constitutes an invasion of privacy. The government has said the nation's ability to spot security threats would be critically impaired without access to such data. DHS officials claim the system has resulted in several suspected terrorists being turned away or apprehended. According to DHS documents, the airline-passenger information is fed into a so-called Automated Targeting System, or ATS-P, which flags inbound passengers who may pose a terrorism risk based on various criteria, including: * suspicious travel itineraries; * travel to Pakistan and other high-risk countries; * use of suspect ticketing agencies; * or possible matches to federal watchlists. Additional data gleaned from passenger travel records, including seating and meal preferences, are reviewed by DHS officials at the National Targeting Center in Northern Virginia. Passengers added to the temporary watchlist warrant a closer look by an airport customs officer trained in "counter terrorism response," or CTR. CTR officers have been trained to ask "passengers of interest" a list of required questions from a matrix. Highly suspicious passengers are subjected to additional interviews and searches and may be taken into custody. The matrix of questions is sensitive and closely held within the department. WND has obtained a copy of the matrix sheets, which contain more than 30 questions cross-referenced with more than a dozen security categories involving passport issues and travel patterns, among other concerns. Question No. 2 reads: "Did you travel to Pakistan? If so, what cities did you visit." Questions 5 and 6 deal with "military training" and "school/training." Others drill down on specifics regarding such training. WND has agreed not to reveal details, given that al-Qaida coaches its operatives in how to answer such questions to avoid suspicion at U.S. and other Western airports. For instance, the al-Qaida training manual advises that "during travel the brother should be taught the answers to the following questions ... when your travel to Pakistan is discovered:" "A. What were you doing in Pakistan? B. In which camp were you trained? C. Who trained you? On what weapons were you trained? ... "H. How many are in that camp? I. What are their names? J. Who are the group commanders there (in Pakistan)? Where do they live and what do they do? K. What things did the commanders talk about?" Also: "A. What were you doing in Pakistan? B. Are you a jihad fighter? C. Do you belong to religious organizations? D. Why did you come to our country in particular? E. Whom will you be staying with now? F. How long will you spend here?" DHS has put its temporary lookout system and "augmented primary" interviewing process into operation at major international airports, including ones in Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Newark, N.J., Boston, New York, Miami and Los Angeles. The system was set up by Erik Shoberg, a field operations official for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Washington. DHS first responded in 2004 to intelligence that Pakistani-Americans were training at terror camps during trips to Pakistan by requiring customs officers to check young Pakistani male travelers for physical signs of military training. As WND first reported, they were asked to look for "rope burns," "unusual bruises," "scars" and other possible injuries suffered from obstacle courses, firearms or explosives. "Many of the individuals trained in the Pakistani camps are destined to commit illegal activities in the United States," warned the two-page DHS advisory that launched the special action. |

The super-rich wives of Pak senators PTI | March 05, 2007 | 18:27 IST The wives of Pakistani senators seem to have amassed more wealth than their politician husbands, most of whom have declared the greater part of their assets in the name of their spouses ahead of general elections in the country due later this year. Muhammad Azam Swati, a senator from North West Frontier Province, along with his spouse Tahira Swati retained his financial position as the richest parliamentarian in Pakistan with consolidated assets of Rs 1.6 billion in Pakistan and the United States. Swati claims that all his assets in Pakistan other than inherited property are obtained with amounts remitted from overseas. 'I do not have any income and business in Pakistan. All remittances have come from American banks to Pakistani banks,' the Daily Times quoted him as saying. Swati has declared a number of residential and commercial properties in the United States with a current market value of USD 9.2 million. He also has 10 plots in posh Bahria Town, eight plots in Top City and many other plots and houses. Federal Minister for Information Muhammad Ali Khan Durrani's spouse has three plots in posh areas worth Rs 51.4 million. Durrani claims to have inherited agricultural land worth millions. Pakistan Muslim League Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Sayed's spouse Dushka Sayed is richer than him. She owns a plot in G-14 sector of Islamabad, shares in other property of in-laws, has a car and jewellry. Senator Mushahid has no car, no business capital and no investment. He has only Rs 1,55,600 in cash and his wife owns rest of the possessions, the paper said. Senator Naeem Hussain Chattha has declared immovable assets worth Rs 21.5 million, including agricultural land and commercial shops. But of this, he claims that property worth Rs 14.8 million is in the name of his wife. URL for this article: http://www.rediff.com///news/2007/mar/05pak1.htm |

Pak court directs PIA to recall 'insulted' female crew Press Trust of India Posted online: Thursday, February 22, 2007 at 1442 hours IST Updated: Thursday, February 22, 2007 at 1444 hours IST Islamabad, February 22: The Supreme Court in Islamabad has directed the PIA management to recall 73 of its women crew members who had been suspended for their "dull appearance" and being overweight. The court directed the Pakistan International Airlines Corporation (PIAC) to give three months to the complainants to make up for their deficiencies. The chief justice of the apex court had taken notice on the complaint of six women cabin crew members who had sought the courts intervention against orders of the PIAC management, forcing them to retire because of their dull and poor appearance, scars on the face, gap in front teeth and the age factor affecting their looks, the Daily Times said today. The plaintiffs also wanted the court to direct the airlines to take back the insulting remarks. The SC had directed PIA Chairman Tariq Kirmani on February 13 to explain the derogatory and insulting treatment to the women staff. The chief justice yesterday ruled: Cabin crew as well as persons on ground duties to whom notices have been issued shall be taken on duty immediately. Initially, a period of three months will be provided to them to make up the deficiencies, which have been provided. |
