Pakistan
will begin production of JF-17 thunder jets, a lightweight multi-role
combat aircraft, in collaboration with China.The countries signed an agreement
for the production of 42 JF-17 fighters at the Pakistan Aeronautical complex in
Kamra in Punjab province. Some parts of the aircraft would also be manufactured
in China.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) plans to raise its first squadron of JF-17 jets by
the end of this year, sources said.In the past, Pakistan has received eight
JF-17 jets from China. Pakistans' decision to begin production of the JF-17 jet
comes at a time when the military is making extensive use of its airpower in
operations against the rebels and international agents in the northwestern part
of the country. Now Pakistan become a eighth country who produces
fighter air crafts.
The
propaganda war against Iran The US
media, led by the
New York Times, is continuing its
concerted propaganda campaign against Iran over charges that the government
stole the June 12 presidential election. There is not even a semblance of
objectivity in the media coverage, which parrots the charges of the opposition
headed by defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi as fact and
dismisses the governments' claims as lies.The opposition is lauded as democratic
and reformist, while incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his supporters
are portrayed as virtual fascists. One would scarcely imagine that the two men
represent rival factions within the same ruling establishment.Responsibility
for the violence in the streets of Tehran is attributed entirely to the
government and its security forces.No connection is drawn between these events
and the broader situation in the region, where the US is waging two wars, on
Irans' eastern and western borders, both aimed at establishing American hegemony
over the oil-rich territory.Suggestions that the US and its intelligence
agencies are involved in the turmoil in Iran are dismissed as ludicrous,
fabrications by an Iranian government trying to divert public opinion. This, in
a country where Washington overthrew a democratically elected government in
1953, propped up a brutal dictator, the Shah, for more than a quarter of a
century, and has carried out covert CIA operations in the recent period
involving the use of special operations troops on Iranian soil.
Taliban
defectors: US, Israel funding militants Two
militants' leaders who defected from notorious Taliban chief in Pakistan have
revealed that their comrade was pursuing a US-Israeli agenda across the country.
A prominent militant leader, Turkistan Bittani, who broke away from Baitullah
Mehsud, called him an American agent. Mehsud, a warlord in his late 30s,
has claimed responsibility for dozens of devastating string attacks on both
civilians and security forces throughout the feared region.Moreover, Baetani
emphasized that Mehsud was being funded by US and Israeli intelligence services
for brainwashing innocent youths. The insurgents' chief has recruited several
teenagers who have carried out dozens of suicide attacks on Pakistani mosques
and educational institutes over some past months. Baetani also noted that al-Qaeda
and Talibans' leadership was never targeted in the dozens of US drone strikes in
the country's troubled north-west region. Another defector, Qari Zainuddin, said
that Mehsud had established strong links with Israeli intelligence services
which were destabilizing the nuclear armed country. These people (Mehsud and
his men) are working against Islam. Insurgents have stepped up their attacks
on civilian and religious centers in major cities across Pakistan which has
fueled anti-Taliban sentiments among the Pakistani people. The US invasion of
Afghanistan in 2001 has prompted militants to focus their attention across the
border in Pakistan, turning the restive tribal belt between the two neighbors
into a scene of daily violence. The US invaded Afghanistan more than seven years
ago to allegedly eradicate insurgency and arrest Taliban and al Qaeda leaders.
Islamic
World rejected Obama's policy visions on Islamic World During the
visit of Egypt, President Obama said that America is interested to develop
good relations with Islamic World. During his speech, he tried to blame Muslims
in terms of Al-Qaeda and failed to discuss the US policies against Islamic world
in terms of Philistine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kashmir. His speech shows that the faults are only at
Muslim's end and US is just neat and clean. Hammad Yousuf, Muslim Philosopher
said that these kind of deceptive speeches are not acceptable by Muslim world.
If United States is interested to develop good relations with Islamic World,
there should be a practical work otherwise please sit in your office.
Modern governments employ propaganda to incite public outcries for war in order to advance their agendas in foreign policy.War propaganda is nothing new. The dynastic Egyptians created monumental sculptures that glorified Pharaoh as a conqueror who personally executed frequently by fracturing their skulls with a mace hundreds of the enemies of his state.
