		<description><![CDATA[The brazen attack on one of the most secure areas of the country in the middle of the day, and the taking of hostages, shows a new level of audacity from the militants. It is the third major militant strike in Pakistan in a week and was carried out as the army prepares a major offensive against the militants in their northwestern stronghold of South  Waziristan on the Afghan border.
Militants wearing military uniform attacked the Pakistani army&#8217;s headquarters yesterday, killing six soldiers and taking hostages after a 40-minute gun ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Taliban in Pakistan have released a video confirming that their former leader Baitullah Mehsud is dead. Mehsud was killed on August 6 in the tribal region of South Waziristan in a missile attack by a suspected US drone.

A video received by the BBC shows the body of the former leader of Pakistan's largest Taliban group lying in a room. It is not clear where it was taken.

US and Pakistani officials were quick to claim Mr Mehsud's death, but it took nearly three weeks for the Taliban to admit he had been hurt in the attack and had later died.

Baitullah mehsudIt is not clear why they have decided to release the video of their former leader now. They announced his death and named a successor, Hakimullah Mehsud, in late August.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Public opinion in Pakistan has turned sharply against the Taliban and other Islamist militants but Pakistanis still do not trust the United States and President Barack Obama, according to the results of a poll.
The turn in public mood is a boost to the military in its offensive against the insurgency &#8211; a campaign supported by the Obama administration, which believes security in Pakistan is vital to defeating the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.
The survey showed that 81 percent of Pakistanis believe the activities of the Taliban and other Muslim extremists were ...]]></description>

Pakistani fans of Michael Jackson say they are shocked and saddened by the news of his sudden death. Jackson, who was often described as the most popular musician in the world, made his mark here in Pakistan, too.  Michael Jackson&#8217;s death led many of Pakistan&#8217;s local television channels Friday morning, knocking the near constant coverage of the military campaign against Taliban militants off the top of the news lineup, if only for a few hours. Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest today at 4am.

Former Inter-Services Intelligence official Khalid Khwaja has sought a compensation of Rs700m for his alleged kidnapping and illegal confinement in 2007 and registration of “false” cases against him.

After 9/11 and since last few years Pakistan had been on a roller coaster ride of crisis after crisis. We are paying the price of being the ally of US against war on terrorism although being a victim of the same. The terms Al Qaeda, Taliban, militants are now a nightmare for the world but why they all are hiding only in Pakistan? Osama is always searched in Pakistan; Afghan war can&#8217;t be conducted without our help than why only we are the sufferers, while we are the victims also?

The Pakistani military through its own channels has shared evidence with the U.S. military about Indian support for terrorism in Pakistan&#8217;s tribal belt and Swat.
The evidence was embarrassing for the Americans because they have been defending Indian presence in Afghanistan and have also been defending the opening up of Indian consulates in areas close to the Pakistani border.
More embarrassing for the Americans is that besides some ...]]></description>

I ended last Sunday&#8217;s article, &#8220;Who killed Benazir?&#8221; with the promise that, &#8220;Perhaps I&#8217;ll continue with this next week because there&#8217;s so much to tell, unless something happens &#8211; which is well within the realm of possibility &#8211; that demands more attention.&#8221; Well something did happen, to wit President Obama&#8217;s seminal speech in Cairo to what is euphemistically called &#8216;the Muslim World&#8217;.
