PM calls for importing 1000MWs form Iran

 ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Thursday emphasized on the importance of expediting the projects of gas pipeline and import of 1000 MW electricity from Iran to Pakistan.

The Prime Minister was talking to Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Akbar Salehi, who called on him here.

During the meeting the two sides exchanged views on a whole gamut of Pak-Iran relations spreading over trade, energy, communications, rationalization of the tariff and combating terrorism, which poses grave dangers to the security, economic advancement not only of the two countries but also of the region.

The Iranian Foreign Minister informed the Prime Minister that Iranian part of gas pipeline would be completed by the middle of next year.

About the export of 1000 MW electricity, the Foreign Minister said that Iran can export the electricity even now if it could be connected with the grid system of Pakistan.

The Prime Minister said that Pakistan had also embarked upon improving its relations with its neighbours because if a country has good relations with its neighbours it does not need support from the countries situated far beyond.

It is in pursuance of this paradigm shift that Pakistan has been reaching out to its neighbouring countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, India, China, Russia and Central Asian Republics to improve its relations in qualitative terms, he said adding that the response is extremely encouraging.

The Prime Minister said that Joint Economic Ministerial Commission of the two countries should meet frequently to ensure the follow-up and also timely implementation of the decisions taken by the two countries at various levels by the respective governments' officials.

The meeting also decided to set up Investment Fund to encourage the private sector in particular to undertake investment in the two countries.

Pakistan also agreed to allow the Iranian Government to open up Bank in Pakistan to facilitate the business community to play their role in the development of their economies. Turkey and Iran have also concluded similar arrangements to jump-start the economic cooperation.

It was also decided to rationalize the tariff regime between the two countries to pick up trade and curb smuggling.

On the question of terrorism, the Prime Minister said that the Interior Ministries of the two countries should meet to evolve a comprehensive strategy to fight the menace of terrorism posing serious threat to the countries of the region and indeed to the whole world.

The Iranian Foreign Minister said that his country would consider the proposal of Pakistan regarding the opening of Consulate at Bandar Abbas.

The Iranian Foreign Minister assured the Prime Minister that he would ensure in his capacity to pave the way for enhancing cooperation between the two countries and if there were any irritants he would address those promptly, thoroughly and comprehensively.

OBL mission was a 'gamble', reveals Obama

 WASHINGTON: The mission to kill Osama bin Laden was almost called off at the last minute due to a lack of certainty over whether the terrorist leader was living in a Pakistani compound, a new documentary has revealed.

In his first detailed interview since the Al-Qaida leader was shot dead by Navy Seals, US president Barack Obama revealed that he took a “gamble” and was advised not to go through with the risky operation.

Just days before the May 1 attack, the CIA had advised there was a 60-70 per cent certainty that bin Laden was holed up with his family in a fortified compound in a military suburb of Abbottabad, Pakistan.

But on April 28 a special “red team” of security analysts advised the President they were only about 30-40 per cent certain it was the world’s most wanted man, due to a lack of evidence and an unusually large number of visitors to the house.

A “tense” Whitehouse meeting followed where a number of Obama’s highest advisers told him the “stakes were too damn high”.

“Even though I thought it was only 50/50 that bin Laden was there I thought it was worth us taking a shot,” Obama said in Bin Laden: Shoot to Kill

If the mission was unsuccessful, the President admitted he faced “huge geopolitical ramifications”.

But when it was finally confirmed that bin Laden had been killed with shots to the head and chest, there was little celebration inside the White House, the documentary revealed.

“This was a big gamble. I think at the time I said something very brief: ‘We got him’,” Obama said.

NASA twin spacecraft to map the inner Moon

 WASHINGTON: The US space agency plans to launch two unmanned spacecraft Thursday that will chase each other around the Moon as they use gravity measurements to draw an unprecedented map of its inner workings.

Known as the GRAIL mission, or Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory, the satellites will launch together on a single Delta II rocket as early as 8:37 am Thursday (1237 GMT), when the launch window opens.

Researchers hope GRAIL will answer some of the mysteries about the far side of the moon, which humans have never explored, and also shed light on how other rocky planets like Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury may have formed.

"GRAIL is a mission that will study the inside of the Moon from crust to core," said the 500-million-dollar project's principal investigator Maria Zuber.

The project is part of NASA's Discovery program, which has launched 10 spacecraft since 1992 to study the solar system.

Zuber noted that the Moon has been amply studied since the dawn of the space age in 1959, with a total of 109 missions of various kinds.

Twelve humans have stepped foot on the lunar surface, and 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of rocks and soil have been brought back to Earth for further study.

In addition, three science satellites are currently orbiting the moon, she
said.

After GRAIL, the US space agency plans to launch its Mars Science Laboratory in November on a nearly two-year journey to the red planet.

US missed chance to exit Afghanistan: ex-Saudi envoy

 WASHINGTON: The United States should have taken advantage of Osama bin Laden's death by withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, the former Saudi ambassador to Washington said Wednesday.

While the killing of the al Qaeda leader "is not the end of the terrorism," it "should have been given more value, more worth by the US people," said Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal, speaking at a think tank in the US capital.

US Navy commandos tracked down bin Laden at his hideout in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad and killed him in a daring raid in early May.

Bin Laden's death "would have been the perfect moment for a US president to say this is the timetable to withdraw our troops," said the prince, a former chief of Saudi intelligence.

"It would have been the perfect moment to declare victory and withdraw from Afghanistan ... and not to continue with this endless fight," he said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

"I see us inevitably withdrawing from Afghanistan. I see us doing it somewhere around 2014," added John Negroponte, a former US diplomat and the first director of national intelligence under president George W. Bush.

Negroponte and Faisal discussed the evolution of the terrorism threat days ahead of the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

Negroponte recognized "the power of the information technologies put into the hands of our intelligence community in terms of .... targeting terrorists" over the past decade.

"We're moving to a better understanding of the rest of the world," he said.

Faisal highlighted the need for an international counterterrorism center.
