Shahzeb’s family pardons son's murderers

KARACHI: The family of Shahzeb Khan has pardoned Shahrukh Jatoi and three others accused of his murder.

The Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) had awarded death sentences to Shahrukh Jatoi and Siraj Talpur while two others had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Shahrukh Jatoi had filed an appeal in the Sindh High Court (SHC) against the sentence.

His father DSP Aurangzeb Khan, mother and two sisters submitted separate affidavits in the SHC on July 17 saying that they had pardoned the murderers.

According to the affidavits, Shahzeb’s father and family members have pardoned the appellants outside the Honourable Court without any pressure, coercion or interest but in the name of Allah. The rights of Qiasas and Diyat has been waived and there is no objection if the court acquits the appellants in the larger interest of justice.

According to sources an out-of-court settlement worth Rs350 million was reached in UAE. Australian residency visas have been issued for Shahzeb’s family and they are expected to depart for the country soon. However, Shahzeb's family has denied striking any deal.

Legal experts told Geo News that criminals can be released if pardoned in murder cases but not if they have been convicted under the anti-terrorism law.

Dean Faculty of Islamic Studies at the Karachi University, Dr Shakil Auj while speaking to Geo News said that the punishment for premeditated murder is murder, but if someone is murdered accidentally the issue can be resolved via Diyat.

Shahzeb Khan, 20, was shot dead on the night between December 24 and 25 2012.

Syria debate in US Congress could break a president

This week, and the one that follows, could be the days that break a president.

If Barack Obama escapes humiliation that will be enough - there is no sense that even victory in Congress will leave him in an enviable position.

The next few days will see Mr Obama stripped, all the flaws of his presidency on display, all the strengths of his personality strained to their limit.

“Start Quote

Listen to President Obama in St Petersburg and it is not always clear that he has persuaded himself”

His dazzling way with words, his skill as an orator, is beyond doubt. They will be deployed to the full, in the six big TV interviews he has planned, in the address to the nation on Tuesday night.

But recently his words have lost a little of their ability to glamour the listener. The magic has faded with repetition. In some, familiarity has bred contempt.

Even worse for him, the words that are the most important are the hardest. They are the ones he speaks in private, on the phone or in person, to the politicians who hold his fate in their hands. And he's been notoriously bad in persuading Congress of anything.

He ignored the groundwork for years. This a city where, far more than in British parliament, the political is personal.

Just about every senator, every representative has a keen sense of their own importance. Any one would find attention from the president flattering. To those who deal in power, it is currency.

Buttering up an ego today can grease a deal tomorrow. But Mr Obama doesn't like glad-handing, back-slapping and inquiring after sick spouses. He hasn't built up the relations that would allow him to cajole and threaten.

But it is worse than that. Most of us are best at persuading others when we feel passionate about a cause. Listen to President Obama in St Petersburg and it is not always clear that he has persuaded himself.

Buttermilk scones

Buttermilk scones

Scones provide one of the best vehicles for clotted cream. The buttermilk in these scones not only gives them a slight tang - all the better to enjoy the jam and cream on top - but is also what yields such a melting, tender crumb. Until you have made a batch of scones you won’t have any idea how easy they are to throw together. Frankly, it shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes to make and bake them, from start to finish.

Ingredients

• 500g/1lb 2oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 2 tsp caster sugar
• 50g/2oz unsalted butter
• 25g/1oz soft vegetable shortening
• 300ml/10½fl oz buttermilk
• 1 free-range egg, beaten, for an egg-wash (optional)

Preparation method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/450/Gas 7. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.
2. Put the flour into a bowl with the bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar and sugar.
3. Chop the butter and the vegetable shortening into pieces and drop them into the flour.
4. Rub the fats into the flour using your fingertips – or just mix any old how – and then pour in the buttermilk, working everything together to form a dough.
5. Lightly flour your work surface. Pat the dough down into a round-edged oblong about 4cm/1½in thick, then cut out 6cm/2¼in scones with a fluted cutter.
6. Arrange the scones fairly close together on your lined baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg (to give golden tops), if you wish. Cook for 12 minutes, by which time the scones will be dry on the bottom and have a relatively light feel. Remove them to a wire rack to cool, and serve with clotted cream and jam.

Nasa's LADEE Moon probe lifts off

The US space agency (Nasa) has launched its latest mission to the Moon.

The unmanned LADEE probe lifted off from the Wallops rocket facility on the US east coast on schedule at 23:27 local time (03:27 GMT on Saturday).

Its $280m (£180m) mission is to investigate the very tenuous atmosphere that surrounds the lunar body.

It will also try to get some insights on the strange behaviour of moondust, which appears on occasions to levitate high above the surface.

In addition, LADEE will test a new laser communications system that Nasa hopes at some point to put on future planetary missions. Lasers have the capacity to transmit data at rates that dwarf conventional radio connections.

Body of Australian man taken by a crocodile found

SYDNEY: Police on Monday recovered the body of a man taken by a large crocodile in northern Australia with rangers confident they have killed the animal responsible.

Sean Cole, 26, was snatched on Saturday in front of at least 15 traumatised onlookers as he swam with a friend across a muddy river that has one of the highest densities of saltwater crocodiles in the world.

Northern Territory police senior constable Wade Rodgers said his body was found early Monday in the area where he was last seen.

"Our thoughts are with the family during this very difficult time," he said.

Witnesses had recounted seeing the animal, believed to be nearly five

metres (16 feet) long, swimming upriver with his body in its jaws.

Cole had been celebrating a friend's 30th birthday on Saturday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from the city of Darwin, when he decided to plunge into the water. His friend survived.

The Northern Territory News said a survey three weeks ago recorded four crocodiles over four metres in the area and 10 to 12 measuring more than three metres.

Parks and Wildlife Ranger Tom Nichols said four crocs had been shot,

including the one believed to be responsible for the attack.

"Any animals that were in that range which we believed to be a possible target in the area where the accident took place, we usually take them out for simple reasons," he told ABC radio.

"We do autopsies on those and it's also closure for the families if there's anything there."

Saltwater crocodiles, which can grow up to seven metres long and weigh more than a tonne, are a common feature of Australia's tropical north.

They have been protected since the 1970s and their numbers have increased steadily since, along with the number of human encounters.

In December, a nine-year-old boy was taken by a four-metre crocodile while swimming in the Northern Territory, one month after a seven-year-old girl went missing while swimming, also in the north. (AFP)

Australia man snatched in crocodile attack feared dead

Australia man snatched in crocodile attack feared dead

DARWIN: A 24-year-old man was snatched by a crocodile in front of at least 15 onlookers as he swam across a northern Australian river with a friend, police said Sunday.

Northern Territory police said the man was with a group celebrating a birthday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from Darwin, on Saturday when he decided to plunge into the water.

"They were watching him swim across," senior sergeant Geoff Bahnert told AFP of the group.

"And they just saw a crocodile with him in its jaws."

Police conducted a search for the man, but were unsuccessful. The search was continuing Sunday, Bahnert said, adding that the largest crocodile at the site had been shot and killed as a precaution.

Reports suggested the men had ignored warnings not to swim in the river because of the risk of a crocodile attack.

"We tell people to stay away from the water, they obviously went against this (and) a man was taken," an employee of the resort, Erin Bayard, told News Corp Australia.

"We say to everybody it's full of crocs. It's one of the most populated rivers in the Territory, every couple of kilometres there is a large croc."

Saltwater crocodiles, which can grow up to seven metres (23 feet) long and weigh more than a tonne, are a common feature of Australia's tropical north.

Altaf demands Karachi be given under army control

Altaf demands Karachi be given under army control

LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief, Altaf Hussain Tuesday urged upon the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to hand over control of Karachi to the army, as the provincial government had totally failed to maintain law and order in the city.

Altaf Hussain said that the Lyari gang war terrorists have been attacking the Kachi localities since Monday with rockets and most modern weapons, while the Sindh government, Karachi administration, police and other law enforcing agencies have failed to come to the rescue of the targeted Kachi community and, as a result, several people have thus far been killed and women amid dozens injured.

The persecuted members of the Kachi community took shelter away from their homes in interior Sindh and on the assurance of the Karachi Commissioner to provide them security returned to their homes on Monday. Altaf said these people were left unprotected and at the mercy of Lyari gang war terrorists who attacked them.

Altaf strongly condemned the attack on the Kachi community asked the Sindh chief minister, where is the Sindh government? Why have the police and law enforcing agencies disappeared from the restive areas of Lyari Town and what is the fault of the innocent and poor people of the Kachi community for which they are so cruelly being left at the mercy of the killers of Lyari gang war?

Altaf Hussain appealed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to hand over the control of Karachi administration to the army in a bid to rescue the people of city including the trading community and industrialists from the Lyari gang war terrorists and extortionists.

Memon terms MQM demand a ‘deep conspiracy’

KARACHI: Sindh Information Minister, Sharjeel Memon has said that there is no need for handing Karachi over to the army, terming the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) demand a “deep conspiracy.”

Talking to Geo news on Tuesday, the provincial information minister said in the past when various other political parties demanded military operation in Karachi, the MQM used to refuse the demand.

Memon said that that military could temporarily resolve the law and order situation but it was not a long term solution. Rangers and police were taking action against the criminals, he added.

Russia warns US against 'extremely dangerous' Syria attack

Russia warns US against 'extremely dangerous' Syria attack

MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned US Secretary of State John Kerry over the "extremely dangerous consequences" of launching military action against the Syrian regime, the foreign ministry said Monday.

Lavrov told Kerry in a telephone call Sunday that Moscow was "deeply

alarmed" by comments from US officials indicating a readiness to intervene in Syria in the wake of accusations the regime had used chemical weapons, it said in a statement.

"Sergei Lavrov drew attention to the extremely dangerous consequences of a possible new military intervention for the whole Middle East and North Africa region," it added.

Lavrov told Kerry that it appeared certain elements inside the United

States wanted to launch military action in Syria outside of the United Nations to undermine joint US-Russia efforts to organise a peace conference.

The Russian minister urged his US counterpart "to refrain from using

military pressure against Damascus and not to give into provocations."

The ministry said Kerry promised to "attentively" study the arguments of

the Russian side.

Russia underlined the necessity of an objective UN investigation into the claimed chemical attack and repeated its doubts that the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad was to blame.

"There is mounting evidence that the incident was a pretence set up by the rebel opposition with the aim of accusing the Damascus government of

everything," the statement said.

ECP takes notice of PTI PP-150 rigging protest

ECP takes notice of PTI PP-150 rigging protest

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has taken notice of the protest of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against rigging during the by-election in PP-150.

The ECP has decided to hear the PTI’s petition seeking a recount in PP-150 and summoned all candidates who contested for the seat on August 28.

The PTI continues its protest against alleged rigging and party leaders and workers are staging a sit-in outside the Punjab Assembly. According to reports, PTI workers assaulted members of the press during the protest.

On Saturday, several party leaders and workers had been arrested during a police crackdown on their protest camp on Mall Road. The police claimed protests could not be held in the area due to the imposition of Section 144. Later, those arrested were released and they continued their protest on Mall Road. The protest ended when party leadership decided to continue it from Monday.

Islamabad gunman 'Sikander' raised funds for banned outfit in Dubai: IG

Islamabad gunman 'Sikander' raised funds for banned outfit in Dubai: IG

ISLAMABAD: Inspector General (IG) Police Islamabad, Sikander Hayat has revealed that the Islamabad standoff gunman is affiliated with a banned outfit and was engaged in fund raising for this group in Dubai.

During a news conference, the IG Police said that the Islamabad gunman Sikander was arrested by Dubai police during fund raising in 1998 and was sent to jail for three months. He was held again in 2001 and was deported by UAE authorities; however, he succeeded in getting a new passport by changing his name and appearance. He returned to Pakistan in 2010.

According to IG Police, Sikander also received militant training in 1996 in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. He further said that Sikander wanted to take a hostage at parliament house so his demands could be met, adding that the police was still trying to uncover the hand behind the gunman.

Hayyat added that the presence of the media at the spot prolonged the standoff in the federal capital. “There should be a code of conduct for coverage during such incidents.”

He further said the Islamabad standoff was about to end in 10 to 15 minutes when Zamarud Khan entered the scene without permission from the authorities concerned.

Pakistan has an edge over India in underwater combat: TOI

Pakistan has an edge over India in underwater combat: TOI

NEW DELHI: If India goes to war today, it will have just seven to eight aging conventional submarines to deploy against enemy forces. This deeply blunts the country's underwater combat edge against Pakistan, which already has five relatively new conventional submarines and is angling to get six more advanced vessels from China, said a report published in Times of India.

Beijing, of course, is leagues ahead with 47 diesel-electric submarines and eight nuclear-powered ones.

The INS Sindhurakshak disaster last week, which blew a big hole in the Indian Navy's operational capabilities, has further compounded the problems.

Indian Navy is left with only 13 aging diesel-electric submarines - 11 of them over 20 years old. Four of the 13 submarines - nine Kilo-class of Russian origin and four HDW of German-origin are undergoing "a long refit'' to extend their operational lives. "Two kilo-class or Sindhugosh series submarines are at Hindustan Shipyard Ltd at Visakhapatnam, while two HDW or Shishumar-class vessels are at the Mumbai naval dockyard for the long refits," said a source.

The Navy does have one nuclear-powered submarine INS Chakra, taken on a 10-year lease from Russia last year, but it's not armed with nuclear-tipped missiles due to international treaties. INS Chakra can serve as a deadly `hunter-killer' of enemy submarines and warships with its 300-km range Klub-S land-attack cruise missiles as well as other missiles and advanced torpedoes.

Pakistan Navy, incidentally, is the first force in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) to have submarines equipped with air-independent propulsion (AIP) in the shape of three French Agosta-90B vessels.

Conventional submarines have to surface every few days to get oxygen to recharge their batteries. Bu those fitted with AIP can stay submerged for much longer periods to significantly boost their stealth and combat capabilities, somewhat narrowing the gap with nuclear-powered submarines.

India, however, has even dithered in taking a decision to fit AIP in the last two of the six French Scorpene submarines being constructed for over Rs 23,000 crore at Mazagon Docks under "Project-75'', which is already running four years behind the original 2012-17 induction schedule. The first Scorpene will be delivered only by November 2016.

Indian forces attack Pakistan border posts

Indian forces attack Pakistan border posts

SIALKOT: Indian forces on Sunday resorted to unprovoked firing on a Pakistan Rangers’ checkpost in Sialkot sector and along the Line of Control (LoC) in Nakial sector near Kotli, military sources said.

The sources said that India’s Border Security Force resorted to unprovoked firing on the Pakistani checkpost.

"Intermittent exchange of fire continues. No loss reported so far," a military official was quoted as saying.

The situation remains tense between the South Asian neighbours since New Delhi accused Pakistan Army of killing Indian troops in occupied Kashmir.

Islamabad has been showing restraint despite Indian aggression after the recent events in which its High Commission was targeted by protesters in New Delhi.

The New Delhi-Lahore friendship bus was also stopped by Indian protesters on Friday.
