* TOPIX > CENTRAL ASIAN ISLAMIC REPUBLICS EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT, ENERGY PLANS.

Sorry, BLANCO, but methinks OSAMA + Radical Islam have BIGGER THINGS IN MIND than just Pakistan.

#4 "Taliban key military commander Mullah Brother ... claimed the militants would launch spring offensive dubbed Abrat or lesson when the weather gets warm. "

Maybe it's not warm enough yet. We are just expecting it earlier because we know about Global Warming.

#7 Ah, Spring. A time when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love; when the swallows return to Capistrano and the Taliban die in large numbers. It's a lovely time of the year

#9 ASIA TIMES > IRAN HOMES IN ON THE CASPIAN. Many in Iran argue that their nation is duly entitled by prior agreements/treatises wid RUSSIA to a full 50% of the Caspian - Iran's officos, however, are for now distancing themselves from said claims in favor various energy and trade deals.

IRNA > Iran is also getting ready to invest in SRI LANKAN ENERGY PROJECTS.
