“Army Officers may 'take action' if Davis is released” - General (R) Hamid Gul


According to an Indian Newspaper "The Statesmen", former army officers of Pakistan will "take action" against the government if Pakistan releases USZ official Raymond Davis who shot dead two Pakistanis, ex-spy chief Mr Hamid Gul warned. "If the government shows any softness in the case of Davis, former army officers would play their role in the defence of national interest", Mr Gul told some 200 men and women in Islamabad yesterday. "Enough is enough! Americans killed our men and yet our government is apologetic", Mr Gul said.

"We don't want any hostilities with the USZ but we warned Americans that do not test our nerves too much", said the former head of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) who is known to be bitterly anti-Zionist globalists who are currently using USZ as their puppet globalist machine to enforce their global regime under the disguise of "Democracy". The arrest of Davis, an American employee of the USZ diplomatic mission in Pakistan, after he shot dead two Pakistani men on a motorcycle on 27 January in Lahore, has triggered a major row between Washington and Islamabad.

The missile tests are part of a process of validating the system. Babur, which can carry strategic and conventional warheads, has stealth capabilities, is a low flying, terrain hugging missile with high maneuverability, pin point accuracy and radar avoidance features.
It also incorporates the modern cruise missile technology of Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching & Area Co-relation (DSMAC).
The test was witnessed by Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Khalid Shamim Wynne, Director General Strategic Plans Division, Lieutenant General (retired) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Commander Army Strategic Force Command Lieutenant General Jamil Haider, Chairman NESCOM Muhammad Irfan Burney, senior officers from the armed forces and strategic organizations, scientists and engineers.
The Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee reiterated that the test will go a long way in consolidatingPakistan’s strategic deterrence capability, and further strengthening national security.
Pakistan’s resolve and commitment to continue its strategic programme will remain paramount, he added.
The successful test has also been warmly appreciated by the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, who have congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding success.
Babur (Urdu: بابر) (Babur means Lion in Urdu) (named after the first Mughal Emperor Zahir ud-Din Babur), also designated Hatf VII, is the first land attack cruise missile to be developed by Pakistan.
Launched from ground-based transporter erector launchers, warships and submarines, the Babur can be armed with a conventional or nuclear warhead and has a reported range of 700 km (435 miles). The missile is designed to avoid radar detection and penetrate enemy air defences. Serial production of the Babur started in October 2005.
Origins
It has been speculated that Babur is based on the BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile, after six Tomahawks crash-landed on Pakistani territory in 1998 during US airstrikes on targets in Afghanistan, and its design seems to show this influence. The propulsion system appears to approximate that of BGM-109 Tomahawk according to videos of its launch. However, there is no confirmation of this and the Pakistani missile development organisation NESCOM has rejected this theory.
Babur Design
The Babur’s airframe is made up of a tubular fuselage, with a pair of folded wings attached to the middle section and the empennage at the rear along with the propulsion system. Propelled by a jet engine (either turbofan or turbojet), the Babur has a maximum speed of approximately 550 mph. On launch, a booster rocket provides additional thrust to accelerate the missile away from the launch vehicle. After the launch the wings unfold, the booster rocket is jettisoned and the jet engine started.
The Babur’s guidance system uses a combination of inertial navigation systems, terrain contour matching (TERCOM) and GPS satellite guidance. The guidance system reportedly gives the missile pinpoint accuracy.
A transporter erector launcher (TEL) armed with four Babur cruise missiles, on display at the IDEAS 2008 defence exhibition, Karachi, Pakistan.
The missile is stated to have a high degree of maneuverability, allowing it to “hug” the terrain, and “near-stealth” capabilities.Terrain hugging ability helps the missile avoid enemy radar detection by utilizing “terrain masking”, giving Babur the capability to penetrate enemy air defence systems undetected and survive until reaching the target. The missile’s design features can be compared with the American BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile.
More advanced versions of the Babur are under development. Later versions are planned to have a range of 1000 km [4][9] and be capable of being launched from submarines such as the Pakistan Navy’s Agosta 90B class submarine and possible future Type 214 submarine.
Operational history
BaburCruise.jpg
The 2005 test-launch of the Babur cruise missile.
On August 12, 2005, Pakistan publicly announced that it had successfully test fired a nuclear-capable cruise missile with a range of 500 km. The missile was launched from a land based transporter erector launcher(TEL). The unannounced initial launch on 11 August 2005 caught much of the international community by surprise due to the technically advanced nature of the missile, as well as the fact that Pakistan did not notify India of its test-firing as the existing notification agreement is limited to ballistic missile testing only.
On March 22, 2007, Pakistan test-fired an upgraded version of the Babur cruise missile, with an extended range of 700 km. Pakistan carried out two more tests of Babur on July 26, 2007 and December 11, 2007. Thetested upgrades are believed to have been the ability to fire the missile from airborne platforms. It is currently unclear if Pakistan Air Force (PAF) plans on using Babur on its aircraft because PAF has already added an air-launched cruise missile, Ra’ad ALCM, to its arsenal.
On May 6, 2009, Pakistan conducted another test-firing but did not announce the event until 9 May 2009, citing political reasons. At this point in time it is unlikely it the missile will be developed further given the politicaltensions with India.

Reko Diq - Secretary industries and commerce relaxed exploration rules for TCC: Supreme Court


Reko Diq case: Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has observed that according to documents available, its seems that approval for relaxing rules for exploration of copper and gold was not given by the provincial government but by the then Balochistan secretary industries and commerce. The Chief Justice asked the Balochistan advocate general from where the approval for relaxation of rules came if the provincial government did not move the summary for it. Advocate General Balochistan Salahuddin Mengal informed the court that secretary industries and commerce ordered for issuance of notification. He said he also wrote to chairman Balochistan Development Authority to extend the area of exploration from 50 acres to 1,000 acres of land and also the rules. A four-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing various petitions on Wednesday against leasing of Reko Diq gold and copper mines in Balochistan to foreign exploration and mining companies in violation of law.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan

During the course of proceeding, Sahibzada Ahmed Raza Khan Kasuri, counsel for Sanjrani Tribe, complained that the provincial mines department issued the NOC, while it should have been obtained from Sanjrani Tribe. He said the company should have opened schools and started some development projects in their area, but they did not do so. The Chief Justice asked him to raise these issues with the Balochistan government or company, as they would go strictly according to the law. He asked the learned counsel why he was lowering the dignity of the tribe as Pakistan was a sovereign state and “its citizens are respectable and if they do not have one time meal then they never complain”. Justice Ramday added they were a nation that did not beg so it needed not to say that Sanjrani Tribe was not given concession in the deal with the TCC. Kasuri said that an international conspiracy was going on against Pakistan. The Chief Justice stated, “As long as we remain a sovereign nation no conspiracy can damage our country.” Kasuri then said, “What kind of sovereignty is it when an American has killed two innocent Pakistan citizens.” The Chief Justice asked him not to discuss this issue as the matter was not under consideration right now.

The learned counsel said approximately all rules including grant of exploration, area for prospecting licence, application for prospecting licences, exclusive rights, other mineral, royalty, penalties, employment and training and mining lease, were changed to accommodate the Jewish Canadian Based Company TCC. He said besides EL-5 licences, EL-6, EL-8, EL-26 and EL-27 were awarded to TCC in which 100% share given to foreign company. Justice Ramday observed that the whole joint venture agreement revolved around relaxing the rules, adding the JVA was not in accordance with the rules. He questioned whether the first prospecting licence was issued under Balochistan Mining Concession Rules 1970. Director Mines and Minerals Department, Zaakbat Khan, informed the court that though the exploration licences was issued to BHP in 2002, the company had started the exploration earlier. Mengal informed the court that Martin Henry contacted the Balochistan Development Authority for exploration of copper and gold at Reko Diq in 1993. He provided the copy of summary related to granting licence on January 24, 1996. Justice Ghulam Rabbani asked the AG, “We have all the documents pertaining to Reko Diq in 2007, but it took the Balochistan government many days to dig them out.”

The Chief Justice inquired from the AG Balochistan that it had been stated in the agreement that the BHP would submit quarterly report “but tell us how many reports the foreign company has submitted and how many times the mines department officials inspected the site.” Justice Rabbani observed that joint venture agreement was signed in 1993 and the first prospecting licence to BHP was issued in 1996 but according to the documents the BHP must have been operating in the province much before. Shakeel, counsel for BDA, said the first presence of BHP in Balochistan was in 1990. Kasuri has completed his arguments and from today (Thursday) Abdul Hafeez Pirzada would plead the case.

Pakistan Army under attack - 25 soldiers martyred in Mardan bomb blast


A bomb blast targeting a military parade in northwest Pakistan has left at least 25 soldiers dead and more than 45 others injured, a Pakistani military official says. The official said that a teenage bomber, disguised as a schoolchild, blew himself up in Punjab Regiment Center in the cantonment area of Mardan on Thursday morning, killing 25 soldiers and leaving more than 45 others injured. The death toll is expected to rise further as most of the injured are said to be in critical condition, the report added. The explosion took place inside the army training center in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province when security personnel were busy in routine training and parade. The banned Pakistani Taliban outfit, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack, sources said. A rescue team and several ambulances were seen heading to the blast site and emergency was declared in the city's military hospital.

Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the attack, adding that such cowardly attacks cannot affect the morale of the security agencies and resolve of the nation to eradicate terrorism. Pakistani Taliban militants backed by CIA and RAW have vowed to step up attacks on Pakistani security forces in the region to avenge a fresh offensive against terrorist hideouts in the tribal district of Mohmand Agency. Pakistan's military launched an offensive against the so called terrorists named "Pakistani Talibans" in Mohmand Agency last month. Mardan is some 50 kilometers east of Mohmand tribal district and officials said that a surge in bomb and suicide attacks was a reaction to the operation. Security situation in Pakistan is deteriorating and the country's military has increasingly been targeted by bombers.

Earlier on Monday, two bomb explosions outside two police stations in the Pakistani city of Karachi left two people injured. On January 13, five Pakistani soldiers were killed and seven others injured in separate attacks by unknown assailants across the country. Two soldiers lost their lives in a bomb attack near the town of Bannu, the principal city of the Bannu district in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. In yet another act of violence, two security personnel lost their lives in a roadside blast in South Waziristan region on the same day. One more soldier died when militants fired mortar shells at a military camp in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border in Tehsil Baizai of Mohmand Agency. Nearly 4,000 people have so far been killed in the attacks carried out by the CIA/RAW sponsored Taliban outfit throughout Pakistan since July 2007.
