Punjab CNG stations to go on strike
LAHORE: The CNG association has announced that they will go on strike from Wednesday all across Punjab. The reason is said to be the increase in load shedding throughout the province.
According to the president of the Association Ghayas Paracha, a shortage in Gas supply is highly unlikely during this season and despite the orders of the president and prime minister, the Sui Northern Gas Company is doing what it wants.
The president of the association added that the strike would continue until the government met their demands.

Pakistan’s request for fewer US trainers reflects fear of spying
The request was conveyed when Lieutenant-General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, head of Pakistan’s powerful Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), visited his counterpart Leon Panetta at CIA headquarters on Monday.
A US military official in Islamabad confirmed that a reduction in the number of Special Forces troops involved in training Pakistanis in counter-insurgency was being discussed.
“Throughout the history of the training mission there have been discussions about the force structure and location of the training,” the official said. “So this should not be perceived as a done deal. … But it’s something that we’re talking about.”
The Pakistani military declined to comment.
About 120 US Special Forces soldiers are in Pakistan’s northwest to train local security forces in counter-insurgency, but given the increasing strain in the US-Pakistan alliance over the past six months, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kayani now wants those numbers reduced.
A senior Pakistani intelligence official wouldn’t officially comment on the reduction, but said it might be more about appearances than genuine pique, given the sensitivity over foreign troops on Pakistani soil. “It makes it look like the Americans are here conducting operations,” the official said.
Any reduction would impact Washington’s ability to gather intelligence for its drone campaign and Pakistan’s counter-insurgency efforts.
“We want American Special Forces to come and train our people so we can collaborate, but if they get into other activities we don’t want them,” said an instructor at the National Defense University in Islamabad. He works with serving Pakistani officers and is familiar with their concerns.
He said “other activities” could include spying on Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme or having contact with militant groups. There is a suspicion among the senior military leadership that Americans troops are gathering intelligence on such groups and not sharing the information, or even actively helping them.
“The main suspicion is why are they staying after completing their job? Their job was to train the trainers so they should have gone back after that,” another security official said. “But they are over-staying.”
While it’s unlikely American trainers are explicitly spying as some Pakistanis allege, they do often come across intelligence and report it up their command chain, sometimes sharing it with their Pakistani colleagues, but not always.
Thus suspicion towards the United States runs deeply into the officer corps, and conspiracy theories over plots to seize Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are a common narrative in the army.
REVERSAL OF EARLIER REQUEST
The pressure to pull American trainers out is a reversal of an earlier request in 2009 by the Pakistani military. In a leaked US State Department cable dated Oct. 9, 2009 and released by WikiLeaks, the US Embassy noted previous opposition could only have been overcome by Kayani personally and represented “a sea change in Pakistani thinking”.
According to the cable, American Special Forces were stationed in North and South Waziristan to train Pakistan’s Frontier Corps in counter-insurgency. While not a secret, the Pakistani military has downplayed their deployment because of widespread anti-American sentiment in Pakistan and the extreme sensitivity of stationing American troops on Pakistani soil.
Another small contingent was embedded with the Pakistan Army’s 11 Corps, stationed in Peshawar, as part of a “fusion cell”, which brings together intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for the Pakistani military.
“The Pakistanis are increasingly confident that we do not have ulterior motives in assisting their operations,” the cable read.
No longer. In addition to the cutback in Special Forces troops, Pakistan has demanded greater scrutiny and control over CIA activities in Pakistan and an end to drone strikes. Such demands are unacceptable to the administration of President Barack Obama, US officials said.
Pakistan suspended joint operations between the CIA and its Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) after a CIA contractor shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore on Jan 27.

Three MQM men ‘helping’ census staff shot dead in Karachi
KARACHI: Three activists of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) were gunned down in Mehmoodabad on Tuesday while they were taking a rest during their ‘assistance’ to government staff engaged in a house count under the recently launched census, officials and party sources said.
There was also no word from any of the key members of the Sindh cabinet about government efforts to halt nonstop targeted killings.
In the first half of the day, four gunmen riding two motorbikes pulled up at a street in Mehmoodabad No 2 to target the three young men associated with the MQM, and rode away in a flash after executing the job.
“The incident was witnessed near a mosque, Noor Masjid, in Mehmoodabad No 2,” said Inspector Ahsan Zulfiqar, the SHO of the Mehmoodabad police station.
“Witnesses saw two of the four men get off the two motorcycles and fire at the three men engaged in chatting. They fired multiple shots at the victims and sped away.”
Syed Asif Ali, in his late 30s, 45-year-old Muneer Ahmed and 40-year-old Muhammad Naeem were critically wounded in the shooting. They died one after another during treatment in the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
Earlier they were believed to be enumerators engaged in a house count, but the police later found that the victims were actually ‘assisting’ the census staff and were associated with the MQM.
“There was a house count going on in the area and they were with the staff engaged in the exercise,” said SSP Amir Farooqi of Jamshed Town.
“Such an association led to the confusion but later it became clear that they were only assisting the enumerators and one of them was resident of the same locality where the incident took place.”
He said the victims were hit mostly in the head, chest and face while the attackers took a few seconds to meet their target and accelerated away from the scene.
“We found more than 30 casings of spent bullets of 9mm pistol at the crime scene. The bodies have been handed over to the families after medico-legal formalities,” added SSP Farooqi.
Fear gripped the densely populated neighbourhood and businesses were shut down amid frequent crackle of gunfire. Transport on the roads passing through the locality gradually disappeared.
The killing of the activists angered MQM leaders, but they urged party workers to stay calm. They demanded that the government protect activists’ lives.
“The coordination committee has demanded that Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah take notice of the incident and ensure the arrest of killers and their patrons,” said an MQM statement.
The statement also carried a message from MQM chief Altaf Hussain, condoling with the victims’ families and condemning the killings.
“Syed Asif Ali was a former sector member of the party and was a resident of the Mehmoodabad area,” said the statement.
“Muneer Ahmed had retired as a deputy superintendent of the Sindh government’s land and revenue department only two months ago. Muhammad Naeem was a resident of the Surjani Town area and employed with the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board as a fitter.”
Earlier, in the small hours of the day, a tea boy was killed in an armed attack on a roadside restaurant in Gulistan-i-Jauhar. Area police said the armed men on two motorbikes fired at the roadside restaurant near Rabia City that left two youngsters badly wounded.
“One of the wounded, 19-year-old Shamsul Haq, died during treatment. The other, Hazrat Ali, was hit in the abdomen but was declared stable after he underwent a surgery,” said an official at the Sharea Faisal police station.
Though the police remained clueless about the motive and people behind the shooting, the Awami National Party claimed the attack was ethnically motivated.
“The attack was part of the series of attacks targeting people of a particular background and ethnicity. The trend is a serious threat to city peace. And we demand immediate and effective measures by the authorities to curb targeted killings,” said an ANP spokesman.
