WASHINGTON: A Pakistani military delegation became the latest victim of the paranoia permeating US airports on Monday night, when US security officials detained a brigadier at Washington’s Dulles airport on a complaint by a passenger who said he did not feel safe sharing the flight with the delegation. The brigadier was removed from the United Airlines flight, and others in this eight-member delegation were also detained after they disembarked. They were later released. The dispute became a major diplomatic row as the delegation, offended by this treatment, decided to cancel an important meeting at the headquarters of the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, and return home. By the time the US Department of Defence apologised to the delegation, their leader, a two-star naval officer, had already informed Islamabad where officials approved his decision to return home on Tuesday night. The delegation included senior officials from all three services, the army, the navy and the air force. Dawn contacted the US Transport Security Administration, whose officials had detained the brigadier, and the Department of Homeland Security but failed to get a response. Mathew Chandler, a DHS spokesman, and Lauren Gaches of TSA, however, asked Dawn to contact the airline. United Airlines officials, however, told the US media that the brigadier, whose name was not disclosed, had misbehaved with a stewardess and told her that “this would be her last mission”. Information collected by Dawn showed that the incident that led to the cancellation of the meeting happened at Washington’s Dulles airport on Monday night when a passenger on the flight to Tampa complained that a Pakistani brigadier, while talking to his colleagues, had made remarks that he found threatening. Officials of the airline informed the Transport Security Administration who detained the brigadier and later other officials as well. A Pakistani official, when asked to comment on the airline’s claim, said: “This is a delegation of senior officials, led by a two-star officer, not unit captains and majors. Such responsible officers do not indulge in such behaviour.” Information collected by Dawn also confirmed the Pakistani claim as the plane was delayed for 40 minutes before the airline’s mentioned the alleged altercation between the brigadier and the stewardess. Later, an official of the airline came with a TSA security officer and asked the brigadier to disembark. She gave no reason. The head of the delegation asked the brigadier to get down and cooperate with the TSA. The brigadier disclosed his identity. There was no response for about 15-20 minutes and then the airline and security officials asked the entire delegation to get off the plane. The leader of the Pakistani delegation showed TSA officials an invitation letter from the Centcom, confirming that they were going to Tampa for a meeting. He also showed them all the passports that identified the delegation as senior military officers. He then requested to talk to a senior TSA official or the person in-charge of security at the airport but his request was turned down. “They did not let them speak and treated them like terrorists,” said a Pakistani official. “The investigators were unprofessional, junior officials.” The official said that the TSA and airlines officials kept telling the delegation that a passenger found the brigadier’s remarks threatening but did not say what those remarks were. “The delegation was detained for two hours, telling them nothing, not allowing them to talk to anyone,” said the Pakistani official. “They received no response even when they showed them their passports and the Centcom letter,” the official said. “At the end, they realised their mistake and apologised but by then the delegation had decided it did not want to take that flight.” Explaining why the delegation decided to cancel the meeting and return home, the official said it was.....

KABUL: President Hamid Karzai's recent complaints that the war should focus on militant leaders hiding in neighboring Pakistan instead of Afghan villages doesn't mean the government no longer supports the US war strategy, the top Nato commander said Tuesday. Gen. David Petraeus said he shared Karzai's concern about threats across the border in Pakistan but said the Pakistanis deserve credit for waging what he described as an ''impressive counterinsurgency campaign'' during the past 18 months. The Karzai government has been increasingly vocal in recent days about the need to destroy Taliban and al-Qaida sanctuaries in Pakistan. Afghan National Security Adviser Rangin Dadfar Spanta has argued that US support of Pakistan amounts to nurturing the terrorists' ''main mentor'' and that the Afghan people are no longer ready to ''pay the price for the international community's miscalculation and naivety.'' ''Given the very clear linkage between attacks on Afghan soil by individuals who have come from Pakistan and are commanded and controlled from Pakistan, I think President Karzai and Dr. Spanta have very legitimate concerns,'' Petraeus said. Still, he added, the Pakistani government has continued to ''squeeze the locations in which these individuals have safe haven sanctuary, recognizing that more work needs to be done.'' In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press and two other news agencies, Petraeus said it's natural that the Afghan government wants to take more of a lead role in the handling of its own national affairs. He said he's seeking clarification on the blunt criticism from Afghan governmental officials, but does not think the comments reflect diminished Afghan support for his counterinsurgency strategy, which aims to provide security and earn the trust of the Afghan people. ''Over time, I think it is very understandable - as was the case in Iraq as well - to see our host nation partners want to take the lead, want to be more prominent,'' he said. Petraeus said he has drafted operational guidelines to implement Karzai's goal of having Afghan police and soldiers take the lead in the country's 34 provinces by 2014 as security allows. It remains unclear whether the Afghans will be ready to handle their own security, even four years down the road. ''These guidelines recognize that this is a process, not an event,'' he said. ''It will typically represent a thinning out of ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) forces not a hand-off per se.'' Talk of a 2014 date enables politicians to tell their war-weary publics that the conflict will not drag on indefinitely, draining resources at a time of economic hardship and rising death tolls. It also sends a signal to the Afghans that the Western commitment to the country will extend beyond July 2011, when President Barack Obama says he will begin withdrawing US troops. ''Transition likely will occur in districts, initially, rather than in entire provinces, although there are some provinces in which that likely will be possible,'' the general said. – AP
GUARDIAN Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:10:27 GMT
Growth rates in Asia's third-largest economy have soared in the second quarter, although they are predicted to slow India's economy grew 8.8% in the quarter to June 30, its fastest pace in over two years, as strong farm and manufacturing output lifted growth back to its pre-crisis trajectory. Economic doldrums this time last year helped bolster growth rates, which some economists say will begin to slow as that effect wears off and central bank rate rises begin to be felt in Asia's third-largest economy. India's growth averaged nearly 9% before the global financial crisis, which dragged growth this time last year to 6% – the last quarter before India's economic rebound began. The growth figures are unlikely to deter the central bank from its path of monetary tightening. The Reserve Bank of India has raised interest rates four times this year in a bid to rein in inflation, but this has yet to filter out to the real economy, economists said. "In terms of sustainability, the growth number will settle around 8.5%. There will be a deceleration," said Enam Securities economist Sachchidanand Shukla. "You are already seeing a moderation in industrial production numbers." Despite the impressive quarterly numbers – manufacturing output surged 12.4% and telephone connections up 36.7% – economists said consumer demand remains slow and the shadow of global economic uncertainty is constraining capital spending and could disrupt industrial production and credit growth. "Global uncertainty has taken a toll," Shukla said. "The most important factor is not interest rates or availability of funds. It's got to do with confidence. Every two months, you're seeing a spate of bad news." Industrialists with big investment plans would "rather wait and watch" in that environment, he added.
