ISLAMABAD: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday condemned the bomb blast in New Delhi and expressed grief at the loss of life in the terrorist attack. In a message, Zardari strongly condemned the menace of terrorism and extremism that had gripped many parts of the world. Pakistan, being a victim of terrorism itself, abhors the menace in all its forms and manifestations, Zardari said, adding the world should make joint efforts to eradicate this menace for sustainable peace. In a separate message, Gilani said Pakistan firmly believes that such acts of terrorism are against humanity. A 13-year-old boy was killed and 24 others were injured on Sunday when a bomb exploded in south Delhi, a fortnight after the national capital was rocked by serial blasts.

I'’d say it requires double the energy of Monaco over a single lap. One lap around here is like two laps of Monaco.”The Singapore GP is F1′’s inaugural night race and drivers had expressed concern about driving on an artificially lit track, with rain potentially producing glare under the lights.However the rain stayed away during the sessions after heavy downpours early Friday. Instead, drivers had difficulties with handling on a bumpy and unrubbered new surface, with the ends of the pits particularly challenging.

NEW YORK: Afghan President Hamid Karzai Saturday said his country along with Pakistan will work on a joint strategy against terrorism and hoped that the U.S. and other allies will step forward to make it a success. Karzai, whose country faces a growing Taliban insurgency due to lack of governance and nexus between drugs and terrorism, said the Pakistani President has the right intentions. In an interview with U.S magazine, President Karzai who has had two meetings with President Zardari this month said, “We should all help President Zardari because he has the right intentions and the right policy for Pakistan and for the region.” The meetings between the two leaders helped break the ice and defuse tensions that had risen over the past few months between Pakistan and Afghanistan and they reaffirmed their commitment to jointly fight terrorism and to bring peace to the region. About his talks with President Zardari, the Afghan President said “We will work on a joint strategy against terrorism, and we hope that the United States and the rest of our allies will join us strongly in implementing that strategy to a successful completion.”President Karzai said his government fully backed the government of President Zardari in his resolve to fight terrorism as it was a legitimate government and need to be backed. “I have faith in Zardari, and I am sure he will deliver. I am hearing good things about Pak Cief of Army Staff Gen. Kayani as well. Afghanistan will do everything to give them a sense of confidence, “Karzai added. President Karzai also discussed the situation in Afghanistan and the challenges facing his country. He said the Taliban were not gaining strength, however called for right concentration of political and diplomatic measures to handle the extremists. He did not agree that mere military means could be used to tackle the militants. “They should have used and kept open all options in order to bring security to Afghanistan and a successful conclusion to the war against terrorism,” Karzai said. In an apparent reference to the recent killing of around 90 civilians by US troops, Karzai said it was a very serious issue in Afghanistan. He described the United States as a friend of Afghanistan, but stressed that there have to be changes in the way they operate.He said the victory lies in training the Afghan police besides a meaningful input of economic assistance to Afghanistan through Afghan institutions. President Karzai said the Taliban were not being fueled by heroin money and have other sources of income.
