Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa is not yet finalized, but creating problems and put Hazara in blaze. Demand for Soba Hazara increasing day by day.

The NWFP government has constituted a four-member ministerial committee to hold talks with representatives of the anti-Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa movement in order to end the unrest in Hazara Division.

This seems like a good move. Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti presided over the  meeting in which collective prayers for those who died in the Timergara bomb blast and Abbottabad violence were offered.

The provincial minister said the four-member ministerial committee would negotiate with an independent committee, comprising representatives from the Hazara Division, to remove their genuine grievances. He also held responsible the Pakistan Muslim League-Q for the unrest in Hazara where peaceful protests turned violent after the visit of PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and others.

Earlier, addressing the cabinet, the chief minister said that the situation in Hazara and Abbottabad was a political dispute, which must be settled politically. “Difference in opinion is part of democracy and being a democratic government, we need to respect the opinion of every person. Freedom of opinion is a basic right,” he said, adding that 18th Amendment had been prepared by political forces and had been endorsed by parliament with absolute majority.

President Barack Obama said while addressing the leaders at the 47-country Nuclear Security Summit Tuesday the risk of nuclear attack — not by an enemy nation, but from terrorists — was on the rise despite the end of the Cold War.

Obama described the new nuclear reality as a “cruel irony of history.” He called the conference with the goal of locking down all nuclear materials worldwide in four years.

“The risk of a nuclear attack has gone up,” Obama said, terrorist organizations like the al-Qaida can try to get their hands on nuclear materials.

People are starting to say the summit is going to be a success as China’s agreement to work with the U.S is a major step. China indicated for the first time that it might back new U.N. sanctions against Iran.

The hairless beast was trapped by hunters in Sichuan province after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear.

Hunter Lu Chin explained: “It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn’t have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo.”

“It also does not sound like a bear – it has a voice more like a cat and it is calling all the time – perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it’s the last one?

“There are local legends of a bear that used to be a man and some people think that’s what we caught,” he added.

Local animal experts now plan to shipped the mystery beast to scientists in Beijing who will perform DNA tests on the beast.
