Nato strike kills a number of Afghanistan civilians
At least 33 civilians were killed in a Nato air strike in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, the Afghan government says.
Nato said it hit a suspected insurgent convoy, but ground forces later found "a number of individuals killed and wounded", including women and children.
Civilian deaths in air strikes have caused widespread resentment in Afghanistan, and embarrassment to Nato.
A Lame Excuse
A Nato statement said it was thought the convoy contained Taliban insurgents on their way to attack Afghan and foreign military forces.

"Global Warming" ..Glacier scientist's lies..

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

Capital suggestion
By Dr Farrukh Saleem

Here's what is happening in India :

The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.

In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries became a $100 bill ion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance.
