From Rogue Nuclear Programs, Web of Trails Leads to Pakistan
By DAVID E. SANGER and WILLIAM J. BROAD

Published: January 4, 2004

The Pakistani leaders who denied for years that scientists at the country's secret A. Q. Khan Research Laboratories were peddling advanced nuclear technology must have been averting their eyes from a most conspicuous piece of evidence: the laboratory's own sales brochure, quietly circulated to aspiring nuclear weapons states and a network of nuclear middlemen around the world.

Staatswerft DCN soll Schadensersatz für Attentat von Karachi zahlen

Gericht: Das Attentat sei "nur durch ein unentschuldbares Fehlverhalten des Arbeitgebers möglich gewesen"

Saint-Lo - Nach dem Attentat von Karachi am 8. Mai 2002 ist die französische Staatswerft DCN zur Zahlung von insgesamt 705.000 Euro Schadensersatz an die Hinterbliebenen ihrer getöteten Mitarbeiter verurteilt worden. Das Attentat sei "nur durch ein unentschuldbares Fehlverhalten des Arbeitgebers möglich gewesen", urteilte das Sozialgericht im bretonischen Saint-Lo am Donnerstag. Die Firma habe die Risiken unterschätzt und ihre Sorgfaltspflicht verletzt. Bei dem Attentat waren elf Mitarbeiter der Direction des constructions navales (DCN) getötet und zwölf ihrer Kollegen verletzt worden. DCN-Anwalt Bruno Labey-Guimard will in Berufung gehen..........

Unfulfilled Promises: Pakistan's Failure to Tackle Extremism


Islamabad/Brussels, 16 January 2004: President Pervez Musharraf’s promise to drive extremism from Pakistan’s madrasas, or Islamic schools, remains unfulfilled.

The Monster Within
Once nurtured by Musharraf, the violent group Jaish-e-Muhammad now seems bent on killing him
BY TIM MCGIRK | ISLAMABAD
In the half-hour before Mohammed Jamil ended his life, he was a busy man. As he sat in a pickup truck loaded with C4 plastic explosives, he made and received no fewer than 109 calls on his cell phone, talking, at least in some cases, to accomplices in his effort to incinerate the President of Pakistan. Jamil, 23, might have assumed that the evidence he was creating would disintegrate in the blast he planned for Pervez Musharraf. If he did, he was wrong. Not only did he and a second car bomber fail to kill Musharraf in their Dec. 25 attempt, but the memory card of Jamil's cell phone, which investigators found intact amid the detritus of the blasts, has led authorities to dozens of suspected collaborators. Many belong to a violent Pakistani extremist group, Jaish-e-Muhammad. Once allied with Musharraf's government, the group is now linked to al-Qaeda, whose leader, Osama bin Laden, called for Musharraf's overthrow in a recent audiotape.
