Obama watched live video of Osama hit

Anonymous

Dramatic pictures have been released of US President Barack Obama watching live footage of the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.

Photographs issued by the White House show the president and other members of his team looking tense as they watch live video of the mission as it happened.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is shown with a particularly anxious expression, with both her hands clasped over her mouth.

US chief counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan was also among those viewing the footage.

Brennan: "It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time. It was clearly very tense, a lot of people were holding their breath.

"There was a fair degree of silence as the operation progressed.

"Minutes passed like days and the President was concerned about security of his personnel."

He added that a "tremendous sigh of relief" came in response to confirmation that Bin Laden was among those found in the compound.

Asked how Obama reacted when he received the news that bin Laden had been killed, Brennan recalled that the president said, "We got him."

Now if this is the case then we all would want to see that video in which Osama Bin Laden is killed so we could analyse it and draw conclusions. If Osama Bin Laden is killed then why US kept things so ambiguous? His body should have been shown to the media. When they hanged Saddam Hussain, they made videos of it and were shown to public. Why not in the case of Osama Bin Laden?

Passenger coach hijacked from motorway

Anonymous

Unidentified armed persons hijacked a passenger coach from Peshawar-Islamabad motorway here on Tuesday.

According to the recent reports, some unidentified armed persons hijacked a passenger coach from Peshawar-Islamabad motorway and have taken it to an undisclosed destination.

The Motorway Police has also confirmed about the hijacking of passenger coach bearing license plate LES-9890.

This coach was enroute to Peshawar from Rawalpindi and was carrying 12 passengers. The department of police and motorway police are not revealing any information about this hijack.

Motorway police officials claim that coach is no more in the motorway premises and it's no more their responsibility to find the missing coach.

Is motorway police there only to issue tickets to over speeders or just to enjoy the rides in vehicles with hooters on them. We have heard so many stories where people are mugged, murdered and now hijacked on motorway. This is such a shame for motorway police.

Match Facts

February 23, Hambantota

Start time 14:30 local time (09:00 GMT)

Pakistan won their first match of World Cup 2011 against Kenya. Pakistan's opening batsmen couldn't give the expected start to their team. In 5th over, Mohammad Hafeez at 9, tried to put Otieno's ball in the gap but Waters went screaming to his left horizontally and took the catch after a brilliant effort. Umpteen replays confirmed it was a clean. Kamran Akmal replaced him. In the very next over Shehzad after playing 18 balls and scoring only 1 run, was shown way to the pavilion by Odoyo when he tried to go midwicket, ended up going in the air straight to mid off as he got the leading edge. Kenyan skipper took an easy catch.

Kamran Akmal and Younis Khan played brilliantly. Kamran scored 55 of 67 balls and gave Pakistan the start they needed. Younis Khan also added 50 runs to the score board.

Misbah got off the mark by a brilliant six, first of the match. Misbah scored 65 off 69 balls with the help of one four and two sixes, while Umar hit 71 off 52 balls, including eight fours and a six as they put up 118 runs for fifth wicket.

Shahid Afridi managed to score only 7 runs. Pakistan put a total of 317 runs. Kenyans conceded 46 extras with 37 wides.

Kenyan batsmen couldn't put pressure on Pakistani bowlers. Omer Akmal's brilliant fielding and throw sent Waters back to the pavilion. Umar Gul bowled to Ouma which when straight to Kamran Akmal, an easy catch. Afridi completely destroyed Kenyan batting line and grabbed 5 wickets in 8 overs. He bowled 3 maiden overs and gave away only 16 runs. Umar Gul and Hafeez took 2 and 1 wicket each. Shoaib Akhtar could not take any wicket but bowled decent overs. Obuya was the only Kenyan batsman who could score some runs. Afridi got rid of him after 47 runs.

Kenyan team was all out on 112. Pakistani bowlers gave away 11 extras.

Pakistan won by 205 runs. Umer Akmal was Man of the Match for his brilliant batting and great performance on the field.

In the end it was a comfortable win for Pakistan. But Pakistan really needs to work on opening batsmen. Pakistan's next match is against Sri Lanka on 10th March. I am hoping Pakistani squad will deliver same results again.

BEST OF LUCK PAKISTAN!!!

World Cup 2011 - Pakistan vs Kenya

Match Facts

February 23, Hambantota

Start time 14:30 local time (09:00 GMT)

So on February 23rd, Pakistani cricket team will be facing Kenya in their first match of World Cup 2011.

In Pakistani squad we have Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmad Shahzad, Kamran Akmal (wk), Younis Khan, Umar Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi (capt), Abdur Razzaq, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz and Shoaib Akhtar.

Kenya will be fighting with Seren Waters, Alex Obanda, Collins Obuya, Rakep Patel, Steve Tikolo, Maurice Ouma (wk), Jimmy Kamande (capt), Thomas Odoyo, James Ngoche, Shem Ngoche, Nehemiah Odhiambo. This is the probable teams of both sides.

Now if we look at the last five completed games by both sides, Pakistan has a LWWWL scorecard and Kenya has the history of LWLWL.

As for both the teams, they will be facing each others for the 6th time. Pakistan has won all the matches till now and as a Pakistani I am hoping that our team will do the same again. Only once Kenya scored past 150 against Pakistan. Again I am hoping Pakistani bowlers will restrict Kenyan batsmen to an easy chase able score.

In Pakistani team we will be expecting good performance from Ahmad Shahzad, Misbah and would definitely want some spectacular batting from Afridi. On bowling side Shoaib Akhtar will have to perform good as there are concerns over his form. i expect Afridi to use Akhtar with clever strategy so he does not get exhausted and could be used for mid spells if needed.

Pakistani team needs to find wickets from start of the game, as we have seen in last two matches of this World Cup that even teams like Netherlands and Zimbabwe can give tough time to teams like England and Australia.

I hope Afridi does a good job and he puts an end to the concerns over his captaincy debate.

I wish best of luck to Pakistani team and am looking forward to it. I will discuss the results after the game.

GO FOR IT PAKISTAN!!!
