Qureshi raises questions about back-channel talks
Islamabad: Daily Jasarat, May 01, 2010. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi reiterated that dialogue between India and Pakistan must not be restricted to terrorism only. He was talking to the media after the 16th SAARC Summit in Thimphu, Bhutan. He also stressed reducing mutual suspicion between the two countries. Qureshi concluded that the talks with India must include Kashmir, water and other issues, and that track two diplomacy will go a long way in reducing the trust deficit between the two countries. When asked to comment on 'back-channel talks', he asked former Foreign Minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri to produce the relevant documents in parliament.

'Asian Tigers' killed ISI official Khalid Khwaja
Peshawar: Daily Ausaf/Jasarat, April 30, 2010. Former ISI official Khalid Khwaja has killed after he was kidnapped along with his former colleague, Sultan Ali, better known as Col Imam, and British journalist Asad Qureshi on March 26 while traveling to Waziristan. His body was recovered seven kilometers from Mir Ali, a major Taliban stronghold in North Waziristan. A previously unknown group calling itself Asian Tigers had demanded the release of three Taliban leaders - Mullah Abdul Ghani, Mullah Mansoor and Mullah Abdul Qadeer, currently in Pakistan's captivity.
Khalid retired from the Pakistan Air Force in 1987 and joined the ISI. He claimed to have arranged a meeting between Nawaz Sharif and Osama bin Laden. He is also believed to have been involved in the union of the Islamic Democratic Alliance (IJI) with Muslim league (N), an alliance formed to oust former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from power. Known for his staunch support for the Taliban, Khalid Khwaja was one of the advisors of Red Mosque cleric Maulana Abdul Rasheed Ghazi.
India has restarted slaughtering Kashmiris
Muzaffarabad, PoK: Daily Jasarat, April 29, 2010. Indian military has again begun slaughtering Kashmiris in Indian occupied Kashmir. Four Kashmiris were killed under false allegations near the border. Three more were given the death sentence in a fabricated case. Separatist leaders Sayed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaz Maulvi Farooq have both been put under house.
Even though the United Nations has directed the Kashmir dispute to be solved through plebiscite, the conflict has remained unresolved. After years of fighting the Indian forces and facing grave human rights abuse, Pakistan was forced to cease its support to militants due to international pressure. All this can be reversed if Pakistani policy makers learn to stand on their own feet.
America involved in war crimes
Islamabad: Daily Jasarat, April 25, 2010. Pakistan government's military operation in the tribal areas is a crime against humanity. Even former chief of IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) Mohammad Al-Baradi has said that both George Bush and Tony Blair should be treated as war criminals. Al-Baradi held Bush responsible for the death of millions of Iraqi citizens. Laurence Wilkinson, the chief of staff to former Secretary of State Collin Powell also revealed that President George Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld knew very well that hundreds of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay were innocent. Pakistan's government is also following the same strategies by bombing innocent people in the tribal regions.
US-Pak joint intelligence
Islamabad: Daily Ausaf, April 30, 2010. The United States has raised its troop level in Pakistan by 25 percent forces. Two hundred US troops are already working in Pakistan to train and advice Pakistani forces. According to the report America and Pakistan have both agreed to build a Joint Army Intelligence center.
