Bin Laden was a "Biblical Scholar"

Slain Al-Qaeda Chief Osama bin Laden was actually a "Biblical Scholar", and multiple volumes of Bible were found from Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad.

According to Pakistan Army Officials, the Bible Copies were in the English Language and had certain lines of text highlighted, as if someone highlighted it for study purpose.

Osama bin Laden's hideout has been under the control of Security Forces and Police since Operation Geronimo. However, Bulldozers on 27th February finished Demolishing the Hideout and only the wall of the compound remain intact, surrounding the debris of the triple-storey building.

Messbah messes it again

The Legendary Messbah (Misbah-ul-Haq), the Pakistan Cricket Captain has yet again messed up a winning opportunity in a T20 Series Decider played between Pakistan and England in Abu Dhabi.

A perplexing outcome was made more painful by the familiar sight of Misbah-ul-Haq "Messing another Run Chase". He wasn't the only culpable player although he was the most visible.

As often, in Limited-Overs Cricket that Misbah strikes the Wrong Chord, out of tune with the match situation, a virtuoso playing to the wrong beat.

PTI leave the Polls - Tsunami in Real Trouble

By-Polls Results on seats mostly vacated by New Joiners in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf have stunned many Political Analysts, as the Turn-Out remained positive in most of the constituencies, despite calls for "Boycott of Polls" by PTI. It also provided opportunity to the ruling parties to strengthen their strangle hold on the Vacated Seats.

Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has called on the public to "Boycott Polls" on seats as long as  they are held on "Old Electoral Rolls". However, the people turned in reasonable numbers and polled their votes in favor of  "Status Quo" and all ruling parties won in their "Strong Holds" Fairly Convincingly.

Alarm-Bells started to ring for PTI in Multan, where in NA-148 Ali Musa Gilani, Son of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, got Record 93,345 Votes, that are more than what Shah Mahmood Qureshi has ever achieved? Also, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has reclaimed the seat vacated by Makhdoom Javed Hashmi in NA-149 Multan, as their candidate Sheikh Tariq Rashid won By-Polls with 38,176 Votes.

Moreover, Awami National Party’s Himayatullah Mayar took NA-09 from Mardan. Mayar won with 30,266 Votes. The seat was vacated by Khwaja Muhammad Khan Hoti, after he joined PTI.

In Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan Muslim League (Functional)'s Makhdoom Mustafa Mahmood swept through NA-195 by bagging 81,745 Votes. This is Mahmood's "Familiy Seat", which they gifted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's new joiner Jahangir Tareen in the past, but now Tareen has been asked not to contest from NA-195 again.

The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has also claimed the Punjab Assembly seat of offer, as Malik Adil Abdullah Rokhri and Malik Azam Ghaiba snapped up PP-44 from Mianwali and PP-18 from (Pindi Ghaib) Attock, respectively. Rokhri won by securing 45,670 Votes, and Ghaiba led the race in Pindi Ghaib with 46, 976 Votes.

Of the six National Assembly seats on offer, Pakistan Peoples Party won two, Pakistan Mulsim League (Nawaz) two, Awami National Party one and Pakistan Muslim Legaue-Functional one. Of the four Provincial Seats on offer, PML (N) won the two contested in Punjab and PPP won the two contested in Sindh.

But it is pertinent to note that, PTI Tsunami might have dealt themselves a "Telling Blow" by Boycotting the By-Polls, i.e. something, similar to what PPP experienced in 1984 General Elections.

Imran wants say in Care Taker Appointment

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf  Chairman Imran Khan wants to have a say in the Appointments of Care Taker Governments at the National and Provincial Levels, as he sees it the only option to have Free & Fair Elections.

Imran Khan criticized the Election Commission of Pakistan’s right to choose Care Taker Prime Minister and Chief Minister, and said the Election Commissions are meant to maintain a check over Governments during Elections and to ensure Non-Interference and Neutrality.

"If Election Commission of Pakistan appoints a Care Taker Government, it will divest itself from performing the task of ensuring Free, Fair and Transparent Elections. Therefore, the right to appoint Care Taker Government shall be given back to the Politicians, who are actually contesting the Polls." Imran Khan said.

Calling the Twentieth Amendment a Fraud and Violation of the Constitution and Democratic Principles, Imran said the Amendment condones Elections carried out against the Provisions of the Constitution, and questioned how could you hold a Free, Fair and Transparent Election without considering Parties outside the Parliament (Although, PTI Leader Awais Leghari is still a Member of National Assembly)?

Is a statement Mir Hazar Khan Baluch announced that the Council would move a Petition in International Court of Justice against the Herbyar Marri for murder of Justice Muhammad Nawaz Marri and bloodshed of innocent Baluchis and Punjabis.

Addressing a meeting of the Central Council of Baluch Youth, Chairman Mir Hazar Khan Baluch further uncovered that "A Senior Indian Diplomat had recently facilitated a meeting between Herbyar Marri and Barahamdagh Bugti to remove their misunderstanding over the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti and counter killing of Balach Marri".

He said the cave came down due to a Blast by Remote Control and Balach Marri was standing just outside the cave art the time.

US Congress refused Resolution for Native Americans

The US Congress is very quick to pass Resolutions pointing out towards Human Rights Violations by other Governments.  However, its turns its eyes when it comes to passing Resolution for the Rights of Native Americans, i.e. Red Indians, the real residents of America.

The Native American Tribes are asking President Barack Hussain Obama to protect the Rights of Native Americans and express Apology to the Native Americans.

Native American Apology Resolution was originated in US Congress and had passed the Senate as Stand-alone Legislation in the fall.

Senator Sam Brownback, R-Kan., originally introduced the measure intending "To Officially Apologize for the past ill-conceived policies by the US Government toward the Native Peoples of this land and re-affirm our commitment toward healing our nation’s wounds and working toward establishing better relationships rooted in reconciliation." His bill passed the Senate in 2008 and 2009.

However, the version signed by Obama became watered down, not making a Direct Apology from the Government, but rather apologizing "On behalf of the People of the United States to all Native Peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on Native Peoples by Citizens of the United States."

The resolution also includes a "Disclaimer: Nothing in it authorizes or supports any Legal Claims against the United States, and the resolution does not settle any Claims."

At the White House Tribal Nations Conference, Obama noted, among other observations, that treaties were violated with tribes and injustices had been done against them, but he did not offer an Explicit Apology.

Native Americans are concerned over the fate of the Resolution and Robert T. Coulter, Executive Director of the Indian Law Resource Center, said there has been an "Overwhelming Silence" regarding the Resolution.

"There were no public announcements, there were no press conferences, there was no national attention, much less international," said the Citizen Potawatomi Nation member.

"You might think that something would be announced, that something would be said about it. After all, they’re apologizing to Native Americans, and yet, I don’t know that people have really heard about it.

"What kind of an apology is it when they don’t tell the people they are apologizing to? For an apology to have any meaning at all, you do have to tell the people you’re apologizing to.

"I have had my doubts on whether this is a true or meaningful apology, and this silence seems to speak very loudly on that point."

Still, Coulter said the resolution doesn’t have any legal meaning, no matter if Obama and Congress members say it out loud or not.

No matter the Politics of the Situation, some tribes have already inserted their histories into the Congressional Record, and plan to bring that record, coupled with the Resolution, to state and local leaders, using the documents to remind and educate them on tribes’ historical presence and sovereign status.

Pakistan Perfectly Cooked in the Desert

England Cricket Team under the command of Captain Cook has "Perfectly Cooked" their rivals, i.e. the Pakistan Team, in the Desert of Arabia. England now hold an unassailable 3-0 Lead with one match to play and a nine-wicket victory with more than a dozen overs remaining, fashioned by an opening stand between Cook and Pietersen of 170, could hardly have been more emphatic.

Whitewashed in the Test series against Pakistan, they will now be bent upon returning the favor in the Final Match in the same stadium after a couple of days.

Cook's only regret will be that he narrowly failed to become the first England Batsman to make Hundreds in Three Consecutive ODIs. He had reached eighty (80) when he pushed gently forward at the off-spin of Saeed Ajmal and gave Adnan Akmal a faint Catch. Cook had again been in unruffled form, his cut shot more to the fore than it had been in Abu Dhabi on a quicker batting surface, but his exit cleared the way for Pietersen to claim the limelight.
