12-yr-old daughter saw captured Osama executed, says TV report

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Wed, 04 May 2011 22:25:00 +0000

ISLAMABAD: Osama bin Laden was unarmed at the time of his killing and his 12-year-old daughter saw her father being shot dead, it was revealed on Wednesday, even as the exact circumstances of the al-Qaida chief's death remained unclear and the White House changed versions.

An Arabic TV station claimed the child had, in fact, said her father was taken prisoner and then shot, in an execution of sorts.

The girl is now in custody with a Yemeni wife of Osama's, an Inter-Services Intelligence ( ISI) official said. Up to 12 women and children who survived the US raid on their villa were now in custody, he said.

The child, reported to be 12 years old, "was the one who confirmed to us that Osama was dead and shot and taken away", said the official.

An Arabic television station went further, saying, "a source in Pakistani security quoted the daughter of Osama bin Laden that the leader of al-Qaida was not killed inside his house, but had been arrested and was killed later".

Four bodies were retrieved from the daring covert attack, including one of bin Laden's sons, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Up to three women and nine children, including the young Yemeni woman who was shot in the leg and a daughter of the Saudi-born mastermind, were in detention, he said.

"There are a lot of questions we want to ask them," another intelligence official said.

Royal Wedding: William and Kate Leave as Prince and Princess

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Sun, 01 May 2011 23:52:00 +0000

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 29: Their Royal Highnesses Prince William Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge make the journey by carriage procession to Buckingham Palace following their marriage at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011 in London, England. The marriage of the second in line to the British throne was led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and was attended by 1900 guests, including foreign Royal family members and heads of state.

The Buckingham Palace has just released Prince William and Duchess Catherine “Kate” Middleton’s official Royal Wedding portraits taken by Hugo Bernand in the Throne Room of the palace on Friday (April 29).

Nepal fuel crisis hits normal life across country. 25'April'2011

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 05:07:00 +0000

EVEN as the fuel shortage is beginning to take a toll on normal life across the country, the government and Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) have failed to agree on a plan to address the root cause of the recurring problem. The Ministry of Finance (MoF) on Monday refused to release additional money to NOC to finance its import of petroleum products. NOC has been asking the government to either allow it to revise the price in line with the international market or provide a temporary subsidy until the international market price sees a recovery. The NOC has even asked the government to waive taxes imposed on petroleum products for a limited period. But, MoF has ruled out further subsidies or tax waivers.

The government is unwilling to allow readjustment of fuel prices to reflect the international market price fearing a political backlash. “Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal is not in favor of a hike until the constitution drafting deadline ends,” Prakash Jwala, Chief Political Advisor to the PM said. “To address the ongoing fuel crisis, we will discuss and find a way out.” No discussion has been scheduled yet to address the issue. Though the situation demands quick decisive action on the part of the government, it appears to be dithering and aggravating a manageable crisis. Meanwhile, the fuel shortage has adversely affected normal life in Tarai districts. With the NOC’s regional dealers curtailing supply by half, the crisis has crippled different Tarai districts.

Indian concern in Nepal ‘natural’

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 18:29:00 +0000

A day before the visit of Indian External Affairs Minister SM Krishna, senior leaders of major political parties have described Indian concern in Nepal as ‘natural’ and ‘obvious’ but have also asked the government to come up with a clear view on national interests. This reaction comes just ahead of Krishna’s visit. Speaking at a programmer in Reporters’ Club on Tuesday, leaders claimed that Krishna’s visit to Nepal will have a positive impact on the status quo in statute drafting and peace process. Stating that political instability in Nepal will affect India, the leaders termed India’s interest in Nepal’s political affairs as ‘natural’ considering its concerns over security issues. Moreover, the leaders claimed that as a ‘stakeholder’ in signing the’ tripartite 12 point agreement’ in Delhi, the Indian interest in Nepal’s ongoing peace process and statute drafting was “obvious”. Co-Chairman of Madheshi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal (MJF-N) Jaya Prakash Gupta said as stakeholder in the 12-point agreement, which is the cornerstone of the peace process, the Indian interest in Nepal’s politics should not be labelled interference. “Political instability in Nepal directly affects India’s internal security, so, it’s obvious for India has an interest in Nepal” said Gupta. UCPN (Maoist) spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma, while terming Indian interest in Nepalese politics ‘obvious’, said that his party accepted India’s goodwill treatment of Nepal. “We have good relationship with India. We want to strengthen relations. During Krishna’s visit, we will try to minimize misunderstandings,” said Sharma. Nepali Congress leader and former Foreign minister Sujata Koirala expressed similar concerns and stressed on forming policies that could use Indian interests to address Nepal’s needs at the occasion. “Maintaining friendly relationship with India is in the interest of Nepal. Our country won’t benefit if it fails to do so” said Koirala. While appraising India’s contribution to bringing the Maoists to the peace process, Sujata asserted that India’s interest in Nepal’s politics was “natural and positive”. UML leader and former Home minister Bhim Rawal used the occasion to state both nations should maintain cordial relationship in light of mutual relationship between citizens of both countries and due to geographical locations of both countries. Rawal outlined that extradition treaty, cross border terrorism, fake currency racket, and aviation security are issues of mutual interest between both countries and opined that both nations should agree while securing each others interests.

The Maoist party has good relationship with India.

Margin lenders, borrowers worried over falling stocks- April,6,2011

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:20:00 +0000

INVESTORS who have invested in shares through margin lending are facing hard times with the domestic capital market wallowing in a prolonged bearish run. Investors are struggling to pay the interest on their loans and bankers fear there might be more defaults. Under margin lending, investors borrow money from banks to invest in the stock market putting up shares as collateral. As per the existing policy, BFIs are allowed to issue loans amounting up to 50 percent of the average market price of the shares in the last 180 days. The lending BFIs have to issue a margin call to borrowers when the price of shares pledged as collateral declines asking them to pay the difference to keep the loan amount at up to 50 percent of the market price. Borrowers have to pay interest on a quarterly basis. Currently, the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) index is hovering around 350 points compared to 420 points six months ago. “If the secondary market continues to decline, there might be a problem,” said Ashoke Rana, president of the Nepal Bankers Association. “So far, margin lending had not been problematic.” However, there are signs of trouble with one bank publishing an auction notice after it failed to receive the accrued income from margin lending. “Pressure had mounted on investors with the continued downward spiral in the capital market,” said Nanda Kishore Mundada, president of the Nepal Stockbrokers Association. As of now, commercial banks have invested Rs 9 billion in margin lending. The margin loans issued by development banks, finance companies and cooperatives are believed to be greater than those of commercial banks. Most investors usually borrow from BFIs by putting up shares as collateral to make further investments in the primary and secondary markets. “Currently, it is quite hard to pay back loans,” said Sunanda Shrestha, general secretary of the Investors Forum. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has recently relaxed some provisions on margin lending through the mid-term review of the monetary policy. The central bank had allowed BFIs to lend up to 60 percent of the market value of the shares while renewing loans, eliminating the provision of paying back 25 percent of the loan. However, it hasn’t made investors keen on margin lending. According to NMB Bank’s CEO Upendra Poudel, investors looking for margin lending are relatively few in number. Investors’ reluctance to go for margin lending is due to low returns from the capital market. “Few investors are keen on taking margin loans with the higher interest rates being charged by BFIs,” said a stockbroker. At the same time, some stockbrokers said that BFIs were also reluctant to issue margin loans to investors. “BFIs are hardly giving loans as demanded by investors,” said Birendra Raj Kharel, chief of Pragyan Securities. With the market outlook looking pessimistic, investors wishing to pull out of the market are seeking the help of stockbrokers. The brokers have been selling shares put up as collateral with the consent of the investors and the BFIs. “With the market being dominated by sellers, investors are finding it hard to pay back their loans,” said Kharel. “Hence, we’ve been helping small investors who want out.”

Cricket Ireland to fight 2015 World Cup exclusion - April,6,2011

noreply@blogger.com (Kardiesel) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:14:00 +0000

CRICKET Ireland chief Warren Deutrom has vowed to fight the country’s exclusion from the 2015 World Cup and is not ruling out legal action. Deutrom told BBC Sport that Irish cricket had been left “stunned” by the decision to restrict the tournament to the 10 full-member nations. “Every avenue is going to be looked into,” said Deutrom. “This decision could have serious implications both for our playing and financial strength.” Ireland’s spirited displays at the recent World Cup - which saw them complete a historic win over England as well as running the West Indies and Bangladesh close - have been rewarded by a return to the World Cup wilderness until at least 2019. The 2015 tournament has been cut from 14 teams to the 10 full-member countries by the International Cricket Council, while a qualifying period will be instituted for the 2019 tournament.

Dhoni didn’t inspect Wankhede pitch before final

Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not inspect the Wankhede stadium pitch even for once prior to the World Cup final against Sri Lanka in Mumbai. Captains, players and team management usually inspect pitches a day or two before matches but Dhoni and his team-mates did not bother to do so according to Wankhede Stadium curator Sudhir Naik. “Not only Dhoni, no member of the Indian team ever bothered to look or inspect the pitch,” said Naik. “Indeed, I told my ground staff that such a show of self-belief is the mark of a winning team,” he said. Dejected Sangakkara gives up ODI captaincy SRI Lanka’s cricket captain Kumar Sangakkara said on Tuesday he was resigning from the job three days after his team lost to India in the World Cup final. Sangakkara said he told the national selectors that he would quit as one-day and Twenty20 captain with immediate effect, but offered to continue as Test captain on an interim basis if required. “After careful consideration I have concluded that it is in the best longterm interests of the team that I step down now as national captain so that a new leader can be properly groomed for the 2015 World Cup,” Sangakkara, 33, wrote to Sri Lanka Cricket. “This was a decision I made prior to the World Cup. I will be 37 by the next World Cup and I cannot therefore be sure of my place in the team. It is better that Sri Lanka is led now by a player who will be at the peak of their career during that tournament.”

I have been quoted out of context: Afridi

AFTER creating a furore by stating that Indians are not “large-hearted”, Pakistan’s ODI cricket captain Shahid Afridi did a volte-face, claiming that he was misunderstood and quoted out of context.”Media makes a big deal of small issues. It is shameful. I have always done my bit to improve Indo-Pak ties but sometimes you say something and it is interpreted the other way. I have been quoted out of context,” Afridi said. “I have enjoyed my cricket in India and I love Indian people. Don’t take my comments negatively,” he said.

The operator of Japan's damaged Fukushima Daichii nuclear power plant says it has stopped the leak of highly radioactive water into the sea.
Problems at the plant are far from over, however, as the reactors still need to be kept from overheating.
While Japan's Crown Prince and Princess have paid a visit to those displaced by the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck the country, Naoto Kan, the prime minister, continues to come under increasing pressure to do more for evacuees.
