Zardari advises Nawaz to be wise

Updated at: 1227 PST, Thursday, September 08, 2011
NAWABSHAH: President Asif Ali Zardari has advised PML-N chief, Nawaz Sharif to be wise as critical times are ahead, Geo News reported Thursday.

He said that people in Sindh and Punjab are hit by flood and dengue virus respectively, therefore the PML-N chief should lend his helping hand.

The President said that Nawaz Sharif should visit Sindh in the interest of people and help the flood affectees instead of addressing public meetings. It is time to take steps to eradicate the dengue virus and help in providing treatment to the victims and stop playing blame games.

Zardari further said that the PML-N chief should adopt positive attitude and stop criticizing the military, as people are already frustrated over political confrontations.

While talking about democracy, President Zardari said the majority during former president Farooq Leghari's tenure could not save democracy. It takes years to build democracy but seconds to ravage it, president added.

A bomb outside the Indian High Court in the capital Delhi has killed 10 people and injured at least 61.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called it a "cowardly act of a terrorist nature".

The bomb was apparently placed in a case near the first security checkpoint at the court, where people were queuing for passes, officials said.

Investigators said they were taking seriously an email claim by the extremist group Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (Huji) that it planted the bomb.

"It would be very premature to make any comment on the mail at this stage, but yes, that mail has to be looked at seriously, because Huji is a very prominent terrorist group," SC Sinha, Director General of India's National Investigation Agency, told reporters.

The email reportedly demands that a man sentenced to death for involvement in an attack on Delhi's parliament ten years ago should not be hanged.

The US state department says Huji is a terrorist organisation with links to al-Qaeda. The group has been accused of carrying out attacks in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The leader of Huji, Ilyas Kashmiri, was reportedly killed in a US drone strike in north-western Pakistan in June.

BBC News - First film footage of remote Amazon rainforest tribe

An isolated tribe living in the Amazon rainforest on the Brazil-Peru border has been filmed for the first time.

Jose Carlos Meirelles, of Funai, said his government agency needs proof of the existence of "uncontacted" Indian communities in Brazil due to the threat posed by illegal logging and mining. They are known as "uncontacted" because they have only limited dealings with the outside world.

The BBC was allowed to film from 1km away using a stabilised zoom lens. More photographs of the tribe can be found here.
