The South Asian nuclear-armed neighbours have come a long way in patching up relations since going to the brink of a fourth war in 2002, but the issue of the disputed Kashmir region remains. "Pakistan does not want to enter into an arms race with any country, including India, whether nuclear or conventional," Aziz told the Belgian Royal Institute for International Relations. "We will continue to pursue a policy of restraint and responsibility in nuclear matters," he added. Aziz said India's conventional forces "vastly outnumbered" those of Pakistan and that the gap was getting larger, much to the concern of Islamabad. "This is causing a serious imbalance in the region," he said. Top diplomats from the countries met in December to discuss the dispute over Kashmir which lies at the heart of the rivalry between the countries, but little headway was made. Aziz said there was no chance of Pakistan and India reconciling their difference unless the Kashmir dispute was resolved in a way acceptable to the people living there. "There can be no peace unless this dispute is resolved in accordance with the wishes of the people," he said. Aziz said Pakistan was still waiting for India to respond to a number of proposals it had made to try to resolve the dispute. India accuses Pakistan of arming and training Muslim militants fighting a bloody insurgency against New Delhi's rule in Indian Kashmir, a charge Islamabad denies. The dispute over the Himalayan territory has caused two of the three wars between the countries.

	URL:http://focus.msn.de/hps/fol/newsausgabe/newsausgabe.htm?id=11459 US-Spionage Iraner hielten Drohnen für Ufos Flackernde Lichter und rote Blitze am Himmel | 13.02.05 | Den Iranern ist die US-Spionage über ihren Köpfen nicht entgangen, die Bürger glaubten allerdings zunächst an unbekannte Flugobjekte. Die Iraner hätten die US-Drohnen erstmals im Dezember 2004 gesichtet und für Ufos gehalten, berichtete die „Washington Post“ am Sonntag. Die Luftwaffe habe aus den Augenzeugenberichten aber geschlossen, dass es sich bei den flackernden Lichtern und roten Blitzen am Himmel um kleine Spionageflugzeuge handeln müsse. Wie es weiter hieß, entschloss sich der Nationale Sicherheitsrat in Teheran, die unbenannten Flugzeuge nicht abzuschießen. Dies sei ein Indiz, dass Teheran derzeit keinen US-Angriff fürchte. Protest der iranischen Regierung Die iranische Regierung habe auf Grund fehlender diplomatischer Beziehungen zu Washington über Schweizer Diplomaten gegen die illegale Verletzung des iranischen Luftraumes protestiert. Dies will die „Washington Post“ von iranischen, europäischen und amerikanischen Beamten erfahren haben, die wegen der Sensibilität der Angelegenheit anonym bleiben wollten. Hinweise auf Atomwaffen gesucht Aus den Aufnahmen sollten Erkenntnisse über ein mögliches iranisches Atomwaffenprogramm und Schwächen der Luftabwehr gewonnen werden, schrieb die Zeitung unter Berufung auf drei US-Beamte mit „detailliertem Wissen“ über die geheimen Operationen schrieb. Die letzte Drohne über iranischem Hoheitsgebiet sei im Januar gesichtet worden. Die Drohnen seien im Irak gestartet. Mit Drohnen könnten Informationen gesammelt werden, die einer Satellitenüberwachung entgingen. Diese Art der Spionage sei Standard bei der militärischen Vorbereitung eines Luftangriffs, sie werde aber auch zur Einschüchterung benutzt. „Spiel mit dem Feuer“ Der Iran warnte am Sonntag die USA eindringlich vor einem Angriff auf seine Atomanlagen gewarnt und zeigte sich zugleich zuversichtlich über eine Beilegung des Konflikts unter europäischer Vermittlung. „Sie kennen unsere Möglichkeiten", sagte ein Sprecher des iranischen Außenministeriums an die Adresse der USA. Die Regierung in Teheran habe die USA über europäische Gesprächspartner gewarnt, „nicht mit dem Feuer zu spielen.“ Der Iran werde trotz Drucks aus Washington sein Atomenergie-Programm vorantreiben.
	EU als Vermittler Die USA werfen dem Iran vor, nach dem Besitz von Atomwaffen zu streben. Die Regierung in Washington hat sich zu einer Verhandlungslösung bekannt, aber zugleich erklärt, keine Option auszuschließen, um das Land davon abzuhalten. Deutschland, Frankreich und Großbritannien versuchen den Iran im Namen EU in Verhandlungen mit wirtschaftlichen Anreizen dazu zu bewegen, alle zur Produktion von Nuklearwaffen geeigneten Aktivitäten einzustellen. US-Außenministerin Condoleezza Rice hatte in der vergangenen Woche gesagt, der Iran müsse die EU-Vorschläge akzeptieren oder befürchten, dass der UN-Sicherheitsrat Sanktionen gegen das Land verhänge.
	http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38250 Dozens of UFO sightings excite Iran Colorful lights over cities spark flying-saucer fever ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: April 28, 2004 5:00 p.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Strange lights over Worcestershire, England, in July 2003 (BBC News) The latest location on planet Earth to be hit with UFO fever is Iran, as dozens of sightings have been reported in recent days in the Islamic republic. According to Reuters, state-run television today broadcast a sparkling white disc flying over the capital of Tehran, saying it was filmed last night. People were reported rushing out into the streets in eight towns last night to watch a bright "extraterrestrial light dipping in and out of the clouds." The Islamic Republic News Agency also reports colorful objects seen beaming out green, red, blue and purple rays over the northern cities of Tabriz and Ardebil and in the Caspian Sea province of Golestan. And cartoons of alien spacecraft have been gracing the front pages of local newspapers this week. An air force officer in the Revolutionary Guards was quoted in the reformist Vagha-ye Etefaghiyeh daily saying Iran's Supreme National Security Council should investigate whether these visitors from afar had hostile intent, according to Reuters. But Sa'dollah Nasiri-Qeydari, head of the Astronomical Society of Iran, told the wire service the stories were unfounded. "In my opinion, flying saucers do not exist," he said, insisting his telescopes would have spotted any potential invaders from space. "The people who have seen these things are not experts – farmers, villagers and pilots," he added. Nasiri-Qeydari suggests people could actually be viewing the planet Venus, whose light could be given different colors when filtered through the atmosphere. As WorldNetDaily reported earlier this month, residents of Australia got a case of UFO fever when what has been speculated to be a meteor lit up the sky with light comparable to "50,000 spotlights."
	http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42162 Iran, Russia to study UFOs Scientific probe amid rash of sightings in Eastern Hemisphere ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: December 30, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Image taken from infrared video of UFOs in Mexico in May With a rash of recent sightings of unidentified flying objects in the Eastern Hemisphere, Russia and Iran have agreed to jointly study the UFO phenomenon. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency, the two nations are stressing "expansion of bilateral cooperation particularly in space research and construction of satellites." In addition to the scientific look at UFOs, Russia and Iran are finalizing agreement for the construction of the Zohreh satellite for Iran, which has been on the drawing board for years but has been hampered by bureaucratic obstacles. News of the UFO study comes as skywatching mania strikes Iran. This week, the Associated Press reported Tehran's air force was ordered to shoot down any unknown or suspicious flying objects in its airspace amid state-media reports of sightings of flying objects near Iran's nuclear installations. "Flights of unknown objects in the country's airspace have increased in recent weeks... [they] have been seen over Bushehr and Isfahan provinces," the Resalat daily reported. Nuclear facilities are located in both provinces. "We have arranged plans to defend nuclear facilities from any threat," air force General Karim Ghavami told the paper. "Iran's air force is watchful and prepared to carry out its responsibilities." Resalat also reported "shining objects" in the sky near Natanz, where Iran's uranium-enrichment plant is situated. One of those objects is said to have exploded, prompting "panic in the region." As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Iran has been struck by UFO fever all year long, with dozens of sightings of strange objects. In April, state-run television broadcast a sparkling white disc flying over Tehran. People were reported rushing out into the streets in eight towns to watch a bright "extraterrestrial light dipping in and out of the clouds." The IRNA also reported colorful objects seen beaming out green, red, blue and purple rays over the northern cities of Tabriz and Ardebil and in the Caspian Sea province of Golestan. In addition to Iran, a number of UFOs — some possibly meteors — have been spotted by citizens of Indonesia, China and Australia. In May, the Mexican air force released video footage of 11 unidentified flying objects that were only visible via an infrared camera. The objects reportedly flew around a military surveillance plane. Jamie Maussan, a journalist and UFO enthusiast, told reporters the objects seemed "intelligent" because at one point they changed direction and surrounded the plane that was chasing them. "They were invisible to the eye but they were there, there is no doubt about it. They had mass, they had energy and they were moving about," Maussan said after showing a 15-minute video. "We are not alone! This is so weird," one of the pilots can be heard yelling, Reuters reported. The plane's crew had just switched on the infrared camera after first picking up the objects by radar.
	http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41782 Mystery lights in sky baffling Australians Blue, green, red object hovers for hours, defense department denies secret aircraft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: December 5, 2004 6:40 p.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Strange lights over Worcestershire, England, in July 2003 (BBC News) The appearance of hovering, flashing lights in the Australian sky last night has residents Down Under wondering what could have been the source. Readers of the local newspaper, the Northern Territory News, phoned the publication to report green, blue and red lights illuminating the sky above Darwin, around 8:30 p.m.
	Laboratory technician Julie Lynn, a self-described skeptic of unidentified flying objects, saw the lights with her husband from their balcony. "It was fascinating to watch," she told the paper. "I was quite looking forward to curling up on the couch and watching a movie but it had our attention until we went to bed after midnight. "It hovered in the one place for at least two hours but had moved significantly when we checked on it again before we went to bed. I can't believe there are UFOs or little green men out there – there must be an obvious explanation. And we weren't drinking so it wasn't something we imagined." The object was said to be "shaped like three connected ball-shaped spheres that flashed blue, green and red from as many as six different light sources," according to the News. "It first appeared in a southeasterly direction and was moving northeast." Kelly Cooper, a spokeswoman for the Australian Department of Defence, said the object was not a secret military aircraft, nor related to the air force. Local airport officials also denied the UFO could have been in a plane waiting for clearance to land in Darwin. In early April of this year, Australians reported seeing a huge fireball streaking across the sky, which some have speculated to be a meteor. "Suddenly there was this flash, it's the only way I can describe it – it was so bright it was a white flash and it lit everything up. It was like somebody had turned on 50,000 spotlights," said witness Elsa Nelms. Later that month in Iran, people were reported rushing out into the streets in eight towns to watch a bright "extraterrestrial light dipping in and out of the clouds." The Islamic Republic News Agency also reported colorful objects seen beaming out green, red, blue and purple rays over the northern cities of Tabriz and Ardebil and in the Caspian Sea province of Golestan.

	http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rash of UFOs in Eastern Hemisphere Witnesses see action in skies of Indonesia, China, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: December 20, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com It's been a busy December for skywatchers in the Eastern Hemisphere, as citizens of Indonesia, China and Australia have all reported seeing unidentified flying objects. In Indonesia, witnesses told a radio station they saw an object flying across the sky near Jakarta yesterday morning. Dozens of witnesses claim they heard loud explosions after seeing the object leave a tail of fire. "It's suspected that a fireball originating from a big meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere. ... This created the explosion," Thomas Djamaluddin, an official with the Indonesian space center, LAPAN, told the Antara news agency. Published reports say Indonesia has been on high alert for fear of attacks by Islamic terrorists during the holiday period. On Saturday, Dec. 12, hundreds of people in northwest China's Gansu province witnessed "a strange shining object" sweeping through the sky at 11:36 p.m. local time. The Gansu daily says it was followed by "earthshaking sounds like bombing." Residents also reported an ensuing tremble felt within 100 kilometers of Lanzhou, the capital of the province. One man who was driving at the time said he saw "a shining ball with a three-meter-long trail flying from west to east," and that he heard two thunder-like sounds immediately afterward. More than 700 reports were filed with authorities on the case, with some residents reporting an earthquake, and others claiming a meteor event. Police, working on the theory it was a meteorite, have been investigating the matter, but haven't found any evidence of what caused the phenomenon. As WorldNetDaily reported two weeks ago, Australians were baffled by mysterious, multi-colored lights which appeared to hover in the sky. Laboratory technician Julie Lynn, a self-described skeptic of unidentified flying objects, said, "It hovered in the one place for at least two hours but had moved significantly when we checked on it again before we went to bed. I can't believe there are UFOs or little green men out there – there must be an obvious explanation. And we weren't drinking so it wasn't something we imagined."
	http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42504 Delaware couple: UFO chased us at 80 mph Husband, wife claim object followed them: 'I didn't want us to be alone with that thing' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: January 23, 2005 9:25 p.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com A Delaware couple is still mystified by a strange experience with a bright light in the sky, as they claim it followed them at high speed in their car for at least 40 minutes. The incident happened on Black Friday, the busy shopping day after Thanksgiving, as Teresa Alexander and her husband, residents of Seaford, Del., headed to the Rehoboth Beach area. They were on the road at 4:30 a.m. to get an early start on bargain hunting. "We were traveling on Route 20 toward Millsboro and I noticed this bright 'star' on the left side of the road above the woods," Alexander told the Delaware Coast Press this week. "My husband commented about how bright it was. I said, 'Yeah, it must be the North Star,' but that didn't make sense because we were traveling southeast." Alexander said the light then crossed the road to the right. "It would seem to stop and then accelerate to keep up with us. It was very high in the sky, and all we could see was like a round ball of bright light." She suddenly became frightened with the object appeared to make a sharp righthand turn as the couple's vehicle turned right on Route 113. In an online entry Alexander filed with the National UFO Reporting Center, she writes: "When we came to the 113 junction to make a right, the object was going straight and made a sharp right, like a 90-degree turn to stay with us. This scared me a bit. I said to my husband 'Holy ----, it's seriously following us.'" They dropped their children off at a relative's home in Millsboro, and then drove on Route 24 toward Long Neck. "The light still seemed to be following us, but I was relieved that the kids weren't in the car any more," Alexander explained to the paper. "I told my husband to speed up and make sure he was close to other cars because I didn't want us to be alone with that thing. After we had stopped at a red light, my husband started speeding down Route 24 doing about 80 mph and the light kept up with us the whole time." She says the light then appeared closer to the ground, and its brightness would change. "It was kind of fluorescent blue," she said. "It would dim and then brighten, and it reminded me of a lighthouse light. It would dissipate and then come back as if it had made a full circle." In her online entry, she dismisses it was some sort of typical aircraft, saying, "It was too high in the sky to be a helicopter, there was no noise and a normal aircraft would not follow our path to Kmart at about 5:30ish in the morning as it was." She says when the arrived at the store, the light appeared to hover overhead. "I don't know if anyone else noticed this since everyone was so preoccupied with getting in line for holiday shopping," she told the Coast Press said. "But I wonder if anyone else traveling the road noticed." The bizarre incident prompted her to do research on the Internet, and she found a 1999 incident similar to hers in the same town, lasting some 45 minutes, as a light appeared to follow a car to its destination. The logged entry in the UFO center for that case notes: [Object] followed vehicle and occupants from home to destination approximately 30 to 40 minutes away. Stopped when vehicle stopped and appeared to hover. There was only one object. It was similar to an egg silver in color with what appeared to be a[n] orange stripe on the side. It would stop when the cars occupants stopped and speed up when they came to wooded areas so that it appeared the object was trying to beat them to the clearing. It was "similar to a blimp but a lot smaller minus the passenger area." Delaware reportedly averages between five and 10 cases of unidentified flying objects per year. Alexander told the Coast Press she's not embarrassed at all about reporting the incident. "I don't worry about what other people think," she said. "I know what my husband and I saw."
	http://www.exile.ru/2005-January-27/forty_seven_prisoners.html Forty Seven Prisoners By Edward Limonov From newspaper "Trud" I have learned today that I am "small, unsignificant man, wearing ridiculous hat, slowly moving between two huge bodyguards." Article of journalist from Briansk was printed next to article about pedophil, unmasked as teacher. As National-Bolsheviks Party becoming more and more important in political life of Russia, the more dirt throwed at me by FSB influenced-newspapers and television. Fortunately, anti-Putin's media is stronger than pro-Putin. National-Bolsheviks Party have started anti-monetization campaign as early as August 2, when her activists have attacked the ministry of Health and Social Development. Notre camarades Gromov, Tishin, Klionov, Globa-Mikhailenko, Ejov, Korchunski, Bespalov have seized few offices of Ministry, office of Minister Zurabov among them. For that peaceful crime they were punished by five-years sentence for each of them on December 20. Russia was more or less calm, preparing itself to season of greetings, for a long celebration period. Not National-Bolsheviks Party, week earlier on December 14, crowd of National-Bolsheviks have invaded the reception office of Presidents Administration in the center of Moscow, near Kremlin, on Iliinka street. Forty (!) our comrades were arrested and placed at moscows prisons. Among them nine girls. Their only crime actually was their demand of Putin's Resignation. They were armed with leaflets and thin brochures of Russian Constitution. They are still in prison. They are accused of vandalism, damage of property and "seizure and holding of State power," Article 278 of Penal Code of Russia, punished from 12 to 20 years. Arrest of forty youngsters most of them students, accused of overthrowing Government by invading reception room choked little bit even Russian public opinion, but season of Greetings have distracted everybody. Then, all celebrations over, Russians went to their usual lifes on January 11th: They went to metro, to public transport only to disover that order in new. 103 million of Russians, or two thirds of entire population have lost their privileges of free acsess to public transportation. Elder people proved to be class mostly suffered from Law number 122, what Mr. Zurabov have prepared. On August 2 our comrades have protested against that very law number 122. So, angry, frustrated, elderly people started to gather at some strategical points of Russian cities by hundreds or by thousands. At Saint-Petersburg, at Samara, Kazan, Perm, Barnaul and many others. They were supported by some opposition political parties, National-Bolsheviks came first. And were amiably greeted everywhere, as party of forty-nine political prisoners, as party of seven condemned to five years imprisonement for protesting against anti-peoples law number 122. Mighty "tsunami" of peoples protest have rolled over Russia from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad. Stupid machine of State screamed, alarm chirped, machine stopped and backed. Angry, vexed ministres and prosecutors are in search of guilty ones. And they have found them. Public prosecutor of Samara Region Mr. Efremov on January 12 have stated that organizers of pensioners meeting of Samara "are National-Bolsheviks from Edward Limonov's Party." Saint-Petersburg's Governer Mme Matvienko, talking on Chanel 5th Saint-Petersburgs television have accused NBP of organising meetings at Saint-Petersburg. On January 19 our accusers have joined ministre of Finances Mr. Kudrin. "We have to investigate who decided to gain from anxiety of elders", said Kudrin. And added, "inside foster homes have appeared diagrams of blocking highways and they were driven not at all by pensioners, but by Limonovtsi and KPRF." So National-Bolsheviks Party have gained politcal weight. We are hated by the State and its representatives. But they also start talking to us. The leader of Saint-Petersburgs Regional NBP organisation Andrei Dmitriev was among few delegates sended by 15 thousand strong crowd to Smolni for negotations with Governer Matvienko. Matvienko have promised to Dmitriev to prepare adress to Putin, asking for revision of sentence of National-Bolsheviks, who have seized Zurabov's office on August 2, as well as accusations of our forty "decembrists", who demanded Putin to resign. Personally, I don't beleive in Matvienko's promises made on January 17. Few days later some of participants at Saint-Petersburg's protests were detained. But undeniable fact is that after we joined our forces with pencioners, with people then haughty, arrogant power started to talk to us. At Kaluga NBP leader have spoken to vice-governer, was invated to talk. However, Putin's servants didn't stop to work against National-Bolshewiks. On December 21 our office on Maria Ulianova was invaded by team of investigators: they worked all day and have seized Party documents. Moscow's Department of Property pushed by FSB have breaked off contract of rent of our office. Arbitration Court will prononce its decision in the end of January. It will be a miracle if Court will take our side in conflict. If demanded to leave office, we will look for another Place. And State is stubbornly preparing "Process of Forty." According to our Lawyers, cheaf-investigator Mr. ALimov have received order to finish investigation until the end of January. As article 278 is State crime, it will be judged by jury. Alimov, seems very happy with jury. Will they place 12 FSB-oficers as members of jury? Anyway, imagine forty accused, nine girls among them, forty lawyers, twelve members of jury, hundred twenty militia-men guarding accused, because regulations require three guards for one prisoner. Add to them juge himself, his helpers, and you will have on opera kind of Boris Godunov at Bolshoi Theatre. It will be such a shame, such disgrace. We are looking forward to it. No, Putin is not Kutchma. He will give orders to fire at peaceful crowds. At them, wearing orange or limon colors, he will give orders to fire, as at Dubrovka, as at Beslan. Our task is to make such a climate in Russia that his orders will be met with disobedience.
