Both Taliban And The Military Claim Supremacy In South Waziristan

Today, the Pakistani military initiated the much anticipated cleaning operation in the South Waziristan region, close to the Afghanistan border, in an effort to root out the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and other foreign militant fighters, that have made the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), their home base and the platform from which, the militant factions have spread wide spread terror into the heart of Pakistan and providing assistance to the insurgent fighters, waging a war against the coalition forces in Afghanistan.

According to military estimates, more than 60 militants have already died in the first 24 hours of the battle and some fighters have been seen running for cover and fleeing the immediate area of combat, The Pakistan military has also lost 5 of its soldiers in the fighting. This most recent war against the terrorists is the direct result of the string of suicide bombings that have rattled Pakistani security apparatus and the struck fear in the heart of the population.

The military offensive is comprised of more than 28,000 soldiers, up in arms against 10,000 battle hardened Taliban fighters, along with an estimated 1,000 foreign fighters from Uzbekistan. There are also reports of Arab fighters from Al-Qaeda, joining the battle against the military. The Pakistan forces involved in the battle are being closely supported by artillery and close air support, provided by helicopters and fighter aircrafts, that have been pounding the enemy defense lines and been trying to clear a path for the military forces.

Nishat Group Mian Muhammad Mansha said i will bring more annual investment in Pakistan than what will be gained through Kerry-Lugar aid bill

KARACHI: The Chairman of an independent Nishat Group Mian Muhammad Mansha who owns the MCB Bank, becoming critic of Kerry-Lugar bill, has said Wednesday, I can bring more annual investment in Pakistan than what will be gained through Kerry-Lugar aid bill.

 

But he conditioned the influx of heavy investment in country with the support of government if extended for the development of private sector in Pakistan.

 

This Mansha stated at the inauguration ceremony of induction of Nishat Power Company (NPC) in Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) here early on Wednesday morning.

 

On the occasion, he said the delay in the merger of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) is caused by regulators which has cost account holders a lot.

He expected the merger of two banks by the end of coming week, saying Nishat Group is pioneer among Pakistani private giants, which will own foreign banks for the first time.

Moreover he said, our economy has started witnessing growth and can be further improved if we consider prices of our commodities.

PwnageTool 3.1.3 Released to Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1; Adds Support for iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G

PwnageTool 3.1.3 will not support OOTB (out of the box) iPhone 3GS,
which had iPhone OS 3.1 pre-installed or iPhone 3GS that had not been
jailbroken or pwned earlier.

The iPhone dev team has published the following details on their blog
about jailbreaking iPhone OS 3.1:

1) GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with
ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you
should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new
PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to
remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer
versions of the iPhone software in the future.

2) Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.

3) Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.

4) At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1
capable version of PwnageTool.

5) PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS assuming you have already
Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1

6) PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G assuming you have
already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1

7) PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the
iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd
Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.

8) For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to
updating in the future, just remember to never install an update
directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with
PwnageTool.
