Meanwhile, the Supreme Court today directed courts to view honour killings as a slur on the nation and a barbaric, feudal practice that ought to be stamped out. The SC said such cases should fall in the "rarest of rare" category and be awarded the death penalty for convicts.

In the New York Times, the story of Adolf Eichmann.

The name will be familiar to those who have watched the Odessa Files. Anyway, several thousand secret files detailing whatAdolf Eichmann, the high-ranking Nazi who helped orchestrate the Holocaust, was doing between 1945 and his capture by Mossad agents in Buenos Aires in 1960, may now be declassified.

More than a few Germans have been speculating that the refusal has as much to do with tarnishing a cherished era as with betraying potential sources.

A man kept pestering the stewardess that he wanted to play football in the aisle of the plane. After repeated refusals, the stewardess finally said, OK, go outside and play.

Obviously, a joke, but this man aboard a Chicago-bound Continental flight tried much the same. The passenger tried to open an exit door to get out of the plane mid-air, creating panic in the flight, immediately after 20 minutes of take off from Houston yesterday.

He walked towards the front of the cabin, saying he had to get off the plane. He also made an attempt to open an emergency exit door but failed. There were loud screams on board as men throughout the cabin dashed toward the disturbance.

The man was in police custody and was being questioned about the incident.

The US wanted to question her and the other two wives and children at the Abbottabad compound. Seems like Pakistan is once again flexing its muscles, refusing to allow US access.

The lawyer representing the Waqf Board, Zafaryab Jilani says the SC verdict on the Ayodhya issue makes sense, unlike the HC verdict.

litigation", and criticised the HC verdict, calling it "strange".The SC said it was "strange nobody had asked for a partition of the disputed land earlier."

The litigants from the Muslim side are Hafiz Mohammad Siddiqi ofJamiat Ulema Hind, Sunni Central Waqf Board of UP, Misbahuddin and Mohammad Hashim Ansari while Hindu Mahasabha and Nirmohi Akhara are representing the Hindu side.

The SC has ordered a status quo for all parties in the case.

Insisting that bin Laden used to take the herbal impotence drug, Amal al-Sadeh, who was shot in the leg when Seals burst into their bedroom and killed him, said: "He believed in his own medication."

The US now says it wants to question Osama's wives and children, who are in Pakistan's custody. They were in the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan when Osama was shot dead. Pakistan is noncommittal. Even if the US gets their custody, they would have been debriefed by now. Why didn't the US take them into custody?

Had to happen.

US President Barack Obama's National Security Advisorhas announced that the president has no schedule, at this moment, to go to Pakistan this year. The diplomatic fallout from the killing of Osama bin Laden has obviously intensified.

"There's not a visit on his schedule at this point, right, to go to Pakistan," White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon told the NBC news channel in an interview. "But there wasn't, at this point in terms of scheduling before the event of last Sunday," he added.

While the White House appears to be unwilling to establish a link between Obama to Pakistan this year and the last week's American operation in Abbottabad near Islamabad in which Osama bin Laden was killed; speculation is rife that the US President is unlikely to visit Pakistan unless there is normalization in ties between the two countries and US is assured that terrorist elements inside this country no long enjoys any kind of support from the establishment.

Just before his maiden trip to India last November, Obama in a meeting with visiting delegation of Pakistani officials at the White House had announced that he would be travelling to Pakistan later this year.
