Taliban agrees to leave two strongholds in Pakistan
Taliban agreed to abandon their camps and pull out of
the Asbanr and Gulabad areas they captured in early April.
The assurance was given to a tribe council which
representing the people urged the Taliban to leave the area
because thousands of people had been rendered homeless and
scores killed as a result of their hostile activities.
Pakistan army 'surrounds key city'
The Pakistani military claims to have surrounded Mingora,
the Swat valley's main city, seeking to wrest the area from
Taliban fighters. The military said on Friday that it had
gained control of most major towns in Swat, located in the
country's North West Frontier Province, and vowed to
intensify its campaign against the Taliban. "They believe
they will be taking the city [of Mingora] in the the next 34
to 48 hours," said Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna, "The army says
it has secured large areas and that it has hit the militant
movement very strongly, but the fact that we are still
escorted by helicopter gunships ... indicates that there is
still a fear of ongoing action," he reported.
Iran to supply Pakistan with free electricity
Iran plans to supply Pakistan with 100 megawatt electricity
free of charge, says the Iranian Ambassador to Islamabad
Mashaallah Shakeri. Iran agreed last year to export 1,100
megawatt of electricity to Pakistan to help it overcome
shortages in areas bordering Iran, especially in Gwadar.
Tehran also extended an offer to supply wind turbines to
Pakistan, which is facing an electricity shortfall of more
than 3,000 megawatt. Tehran has suggested the establishment
of joint venture companies in water and electricity sectors
between Iran and Pakistan and expressed Iran's desire to
have a sizable investment in hydroelectric plants.
Israel flaunts Jerusalem, tells Obama off
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that
he will make no concessions on Jerusalem (al-Quds) -- a key
area claimed by the Palestinians. "Jerusalem was always ours
and will always be ours," Netanyahu said Thursday after a
visit to the United States where President Barack Obama
opposed Israeli efforts to stonewall the formation of a
Palestinian state.
Directly addressing the US administration -- plagued by the
influence of Israeli lobby groups on American politics --,
Netanyahu took Obama to task for suggesting that the
Israeli-annexed city should be returned to the Palestinians.
"The new US administration informs us with intolerable ease
that we have to give up Jerusalem," Netanyahu said at a
state ceremony at Ammunition Hill in East al-Quds to mark
Jerusalem Day. "With all due respect, the US president sees
the American interest and does not know that Jerusalem is
not a territorial issue, but a much deeper one… the hope of
two thousand years/the land of Zion and Jerusalem," he said.
The United States has long supported Israel by vetoing UN
Security Council resolutions against Tel Aviv, blocking all
world efforts to end the nearly-60-year-old conflict over
the city.
In the face of its currently marred image, however, the US
has attempted to distance itself from the Israeli quest for
a solely Jewish Israel but has managed to do little to
confront the Zionist land grab and the ongoing aggression
against the native population.
Israel captured east al-Quds in the 1967 Six-Day War and
expropriated 6,000 acres (2,430 hectares), or over one third
of the area, which was privately owned by Palestinians.
Tel Aviv then constructed thousands of places for Jewish
settlers to live in the city. More than 285,000 Israelis
currently live in the buildings -- considered by the
international community as illegally constructed.
The government of Netanyahu has so far refused to endorse
the two-state solution or to freeze Israeli settlement
expansion work in the West Bank and has continued the
imposition of a nearly-two-year-old blockade on the
Palestinian Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu: Jerusalem will never be divided
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed Thursday never to
divide Jerusalem, and pledged to keep the capital united
under Israeli sovereignty.
"Jerusalem was always ours and will always be ours. It will
never again be partitioned and divided," Netanyahu said at
the official state ceremony marking Jerusalem Day and the
reunification of the capital during the Six Day War 42 years
ago.
"Only under Israeli sovereignty will united Jerusalem ensure
the freedom of religion and freedom of access for the three
religions to the holy places," he added.
The prime minister prefaced his remarks with a reference to
his meetings with US President Barack Obama and other
American officials earlier in the week, saying he had made
the same declarations during that trip.
In an earlier address, President Shimon Peres said that
Jerusalem, while sacred to others, is the only capital
Israel and the Jewish people have ever known.
"Jerusalem is held sacred by half of mankind [but] it has
been and always will be Israel's capital. We never had
another and it has never been the capital of any other
people."

Study Detects Flu Immunity in Older People
A substantial portion of older Americans may have some
immunity to the swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus, a finding
that may prove useful when and if a vaccine to the new flu
strain becomes available.
Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
announced yesterday that a study using stored blood samples
found that one-third of people older than 60 have antibodies
that might protect them from infection with the new virus.
Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. cases are in people between 5
and 24 years old. Less than 1 percent are in people older
than 65, those most susceptible to typical seasonal
outbreaks of influenza. Of the people ill enough to be
hospitalized, 40 percent have been 19 to 49.
In the study, researchers tested blood collected since 2005
for research on the effectiveness of seasonal flu vaccine.
They exposed the blood to samples of the swine flu to see
whether it contained antibodies that attacked the virus.
In an earlier address, President Shimon Peres said that
Jerusalem, while sacred to others, is the only capital
Israel and the Jewish people have ever known.
