Suspected Pakistani militants set fire to Nato fuel tankers

Suspected militants in Pakistan set fire to more than two dozen tankers carrying fuel for Nato troops in Afghanistan today, officials said.

The attack came a day after three soldiers were killed in a cross-border Nato air strike.

Angry at repeated incursions by Nato helicopters over the past week, Pakistan has blocked a supply route for coalition troops in Afghanistan.

Pakistan is a crucial ally for the United States in its efforts to stabilise Afghanistan, but analysts say border incursions and disruptions in Nato supplies underline growing tensions in the relationship.

A senior Pakistani intelligence official said the border incursions could lead to a "total snapping of relations".

Senior officials blamed extremists for the attack on the tankers in the southern town of Shikarpur.

About 12 people, their faces covered, fired into the air to scare away the drivers, then set fire to 27 tankers.

"Some of them have been completely destroyed and others partially. But there is no loss of human life," the Shikarpur police chief, Abdul Hameed Khoso, told Reuters.

The tankers were parked at a filling station on their way to Afghanistan from Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi.

The previous day, three Pakistani soldiers were killed and three wounded in two cross-border strikes by Nato forces chasing militants in Pakistan's north-western Kurram region.

It was the third cross-border incident in a week, the Pakistan military said. Nato said the helicopters briefly crossed into Pakistani airspace after coming under fire from people there.

Hours later, Pakistani authorities halted tankers carrying supplies for the Nato forces passing through the Khyber tribal region on the Afghan border.

About half of all cargo for Nato forces in Afghanistan travels through Pakistan, most of it via two main border crossings: Chaman north of Quetta in Baluchistan, and Torkham at the Khyber Pass.

Another third enters Afghanistan through the northern distribution network across Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Sensitive gear such as ammunition, weapons and critical equipment is flown in.

Officials say supplies for Nato forces through Chaman continue uninterrupted.

Also today, a United Nations relief helicopter with 12 people on board went down in a lake in a flood-affected area of Pakistan's southern province of Sindh, a UN official said.

Initial reports said seven people had been injured and officials said the accident was probably mechanical.

Pakistan has been in the international spotlight this week after western intelligence sources said a militant plot to stage co-ordinated attacks in Europe had been disrupted by a recent increase in missile strikes by US drones in Pakistan.

Pakistani security officials said they had no evidence of any specific terror plot being hatched in the tribal areas, described by the US as a global hub of militants. Most of the recent drone strikes have taken place in the north-western North Waziristan region.

"It's no secret that there are terrorists from all nationalities in North Waziristan. They are Arabs, Uzbeks, Pakistani, Afghan, Chechans, German, Brits, Americans, everyone. And they are a threat to us, to their own countries and to the entire world," a senior security official said.

"But to say that we have any specific information that they were plotting attacks against this country or that country, then sir, we don't have any concrete information or intelligence about that."

He said drones strikes had killed members of various militant groups.

In September up to 21 US drone attacks have killed at least 100 militants. It was the most intense month for drone attacks to date.

Facebook has 15 million users in India: Launcheed Hyderabad centre on Sept.30th

Users of Facebook, one of the leading social networking sites, can rest assured about the security of information they share with family, friends and colleagues.


The social networking site is spending huge amounts in “seeing patterns” in the content being sent on the site. “We have invested sufficiently in ensuring that the network is safe,” Facebook global online operations director Don Faul has said. Mr. Faul was responding to queries on concerns expressed on the security front regarding the vulnerability of social networking sites to become conduits for transmitting virus and incapacitating crucial systems.


All efforts are being made to check authenticity of users and investments are being made to secure users' trust for the site for sending information besides keeping the site spam-free. Facebook commenced its Indian operations by formally launching its Hyderabad centre, the first centre outside the United States, on Thursday.


 “We are seeing a tonne of momentum with our 15 million users, developers and advertisers. It is an incredible time to start operations in India,” director online operations and head of India office Kirthiga Reddy said. With these 15 million users, who the company claims to be “really influential users”, the company is eyeing to rope in more advertisers as well as bring in more software developers.


With more than 500 million users worldwide, Facebook has 35 million users updating their status on a daily basis, while another 55 million status updates are being posted each day.

More than 65 million active users access Facebook on their mobile devices and people using. Facebook on their mobiles are found to be 50 per cent more active on the site than the non-mobile users.

reviews Robot.

The film more than makes up for it with the mother of all Indian movie climaxes, where Rajni is King Kong, he is the Incredible Hulk, he is Iron Man, he is a Transformer, and he is the Anaconda. He is everything you have seen in special effects laden Hollywood flicks. Heck, in one scene, pinned to giant magnet with his arms stretched, he even does a menacing Hannibal Lecter lunge.Then comes a movie like Robot, where Rajni is the hero, villain, comedian and a multitude of henchmen. He even appears in drag in a song. Muthalvan/Nayak was said to be the greatest Rajnikanth movie in which he did not act in. Shankar rectifies that in Robot, which is the greatest yet for star and director. The movie is not so much science fiction as much as it is about finding the right excuse to enable Rajni do what he usually does, and make it look plausible.

Dr Vaseegaran (Rajni) creates a humanoid robot, Chiti, (also Rajni) after 10 years of labour, during which he has hardly has any time for his parents or girlfriend Sana (Aishwarya Rai ). Attempting to plant emotions into the robot backfires as the robot takes a liking for Sana, at which point the good doctor decides to destroy it. In steps the evil scientist Dr Bhora (check) (Danny Denzangpo) who not only resurrects Chitti but also turns him into a killing machine.

The film's first set piece takes some time coming, but is well worth the wait. From then on it is relentless action, culminating in a climax that will be hard to better for some time to come.

It is so much of a Rajni show that even regular characters that usually get some screen space like parents (we see them in two scenes), friends (Karunas and Santanam are completely overshadowed by Rajni even in the comedy scenes), heroine (every director in the past decade has tried in vain to pair Rajni and Ash, but she still does not have much to do) and villain (a powerful actor like Danny hardly registers his presence) are marginalised.

But in what little screen time they get, what these two stars share is an easy camaraderie more than any great chemistry. But it works in this case.

In retrospect, it is hard to imagine who else could have done this movie, and -- forget doing it so well -- merely even pulled it off. There are things in this movie that Rajni the villain does to Rajni the hero, which had any other actor done, would have seen theatres going up in flames.

In the end, this movie is as much about special effects as it is about Rajni. Overall, they may not be Avatar good, but they will definitely hold their own when compared with regular Hollywood action movies. After all, while a Matrix costed $200 million, this was made for $30 million. But the effects are by a distance the best we have seen in Indian cinema.

On the flip side, there are enough bloopers for the movie to deserve its own section in our series. It is a tad too long, and the music is not exactly A R Rahman's best work. But these things seem to have been deliberately overlooked. The intent is clear from the beginning: To make a Rajni showcase like no other. By pitting him versus himself, Shankar has found just the right way to make Rajni just that much more larger than life.

While it is a given that we all like good vs evil, there is a visceral pleasure when both look the same -- like Rajni. There are places you root for the deviant robot to triumph over its creator. As he lusts after Sana and bays for his creator's blood, Rajni channelises some of his best badass acts from the past, chiefly Alex Pandian in Moondru Mudichu.

When regular hits became the norm, Rajni recalibrated his own benchmark for stardom with Baasha in 1996. In the 14 years since, directors have tried everything to make Rajni bigger than he already was. There was Baasha itself, where he had his greatest backstory unraveled after much intrigue. There was Padaiyappa, which pitted him against the most memorable lady villain in Tamil cinema. And then there was Sivaji, where he comes back from the dead. There was nothing more to be done, or so we thought.

So, if there is just one Rajni movie you will ever watch, this is it,
this is it, this is it.

Nuclear liability bill:Shivshankar Menon

 Asserting that there is no surmountable problem in the Nuclear Liability Bill, National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon has said New Delhi hopes to finish the work on implementation of Indo-US civilian nuclear bill before the visit of President Barack Obama and then start commercial negotiations. India intends to sign the Convention on Supplementary Compensation (CSC), Menon said in response to a question from those representing the nuclear companies from the US at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington-based think-tank.

"On the nuclear liability, I think, what we need to do is to work our way through the issue. There are concerns among US companies about how the Indian Act will apply to them and what kind of liability it will mean for suppliers," he said.

Noting that India wants to start the conversation with the companies, he said the lawyers have consistently told the government that this act does not impose any additional obligation on the suppliers. "We are hoping to finish all the governmental work we have to do on the liability issue before the (President Obama) visit so that by the time we go into the visit, we start the negotiations and then really the companies see their own way forward," the Indian NSA said.

Strongly refuting concerns of the US'' nuclear industry that the Bill was not consistent with international standards and thus would be difficult for them to do business with India, Menon said: "I do not think, it is going to be as difficult as we make it out to be.

Once the bill is done and becomes an act, then I think, we see how it actually works.

Shivshankar  Menon said: "We do not see any surmountable amount of problem in working the solution of the civil liability for nuclear damage act in practise which will prevent US companies from work. They have concerns, we would be very happy to sit down and talk with them.

" The NSA argued that he does not think that the Indian law varies from international law to any greater degree than several other national law. "If you look at different national laws.

There is a whole range of laws. But there is certain common body of international law, which applies, which is why we intend to sign the Convention on Supplementary Compensation, which I think codifies that in one place.

Our lawyers says that what we have done, the act is in keeping with the CSC that is entirely in conformity," he said.
