中钢协：“两拓”合资如果发展成垄断，将会有应对措施

中国钢铁行业一位高级官员称，Rio Tinto Ltd.与BHP Billiton Ltd.达成的新联盟
关系尚不能被称作铁矿石市场的新垄断形式，但警告称，如果垄断倾向开始显现的
话，将会有应对的反垄断措施。

中钢协目前认为力拓与必和必拓的联盟尚不会影响全球矿业公司与中国钢铁企业之间仍在进行的2009年铁矿石合同价格谈判。邹健称，由于中国市场广阔，相信这一合资公司对中国铁矿石价格谈判不会有太大的影响。

但钢铁业分析师称，他们感觉力拓与必和必拓成立合资公司将带来铁矿石供应市场垄断程度加大的风险。分析师马海天称，对中国来说，相比目前铁矿石供应商力拓、必和必拓及巴西Vale S.A.三足鼎立的格局，此次两拓结盟将会带来更大的垄断威胁。高级分析师余连贵称，三大铁矿石生产商垄断色彩本身就很浓厚，过去数年已经藉此占据了优势，而现在随着力拓和必和必拓成立合资公司，这种现象将更明显，垄断将很难打破，使中国在今年铁矿石合同价格谈判中的余地越来越小--中国原本仍有希望能与三家铁矿石供应商谈判，但现在只有两家了，形势越来越严峻。

Clinton Says U.S. May Relist N. Korea as Terrorist

The United States is looking into putting North Korea back on a list of state sponsors of terrorism in response to its nuclear test last month, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said,
"We're going to look at it. There's a process for it. Obviously we would want to see recent evidence of their support for international terrorism."

The United States removed North Korea from its terrorism blacklist in October in a bid to revive faltering six-nation denuclearization talks that have completely broken down.

Clinton said she expected a strong sanctions resolution against North Korea to emerge from the U.N. Security Council, with the backing of China and Russia, which previously balked at such measures and hold veto powers on the council.

"I think what is going somewhere is additional sanctions in the United Nations -- arms embargo, other measures taken against North Korea with the full support of China and Russia," she said in reference to the ongoing U.N. deliberations.

Clinton said the United States would work hard to cut off the flow of money to North Korea.

"If we do not take significant and effective action against the North Koreans now, we'll spark an arms race in Northeast Asia. I don't think anybody wants to see that," she said.

"And so part of what we're doing is again, sharing with other countries our calculus of the risks and the dangers that would lie ahead if we don't take very strong action."

Livni: Bibi endangers US supports for Israel

Israel's opposition leader Tzipi Livni has warned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reluctance to accept the two-state solution might withdraw the US support for Israel.

"The government today is not prepared to advance the process and set future borders, and the feeling in the world is that all Israel is trying to do is gain time," Livni told Army radio on Sunday.

Livni's comments came as US President Barack Obama has been pushing hard for the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state to put an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Obama had also called on Israel to fulfill its commitments under the Roadmap peace plan and evacuate the settlements built in the West Bank as well as East Jerusalem (al-Quds).

Israel, however, rejected calls for settlement freeze as well as the two-state solution so far.

Regarding the settlement freeze Livni said "There were no formal agreements on the matter, but an attempt to delineate borders and discuss the question of whether the settlement blocs would remain within Israel's bounds."

Pakistan diverted terror aid to fight India

After the 9/11 incident, the Bush administration poured billions of dollars into Islamabad's coffers to fight the war on terror specifically to fight al-Qaeda and the Taliban. But Islamabad redirected a substantial amount to buy a mind-boggling array of conventional American weaponry to use against India, the Pentagon report revealed.

The Pentagon report points to the funds given to Pakistan by former president George W. Bush during the years 2002 to 2009. It says that the brazen diversion of funds from the time of former president Pervez Musharraf, were used to acquire arms ranging from anti-tank missiles to F16s.

It was quite clear that the purchased hardware were not suited for anti-terror operations but was meant to blunt India's edge in conventional weaponry. The Bush administration was "aware" of the misuse, the Pentagon said.

CIA-linked Pak spy: US troops cannot defeat Taliban

A former Pakistan intelligence agent who helped CIA in forming the Taliban says the US must talk with the group as it will never be able to defeat the militants.

Amir Sultan Tarar -- better known under his nom de guerre, Colonel Imam, the individual who trained Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar -- said Saturday that the US must engage in talks with the highly-trained Taliban instead of increasing the number of its troops, which will only will result in the sacrifice of more lives.

Colonel Imam -- a former Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence operative -- ran CIA-funded training camps for the Afghan resistance to the Soviet Union's occupation from 1979 to 1989 and is widely believed to have played a key role in the formation of the Taliban.

"You can never win the war in Afghanistan. I have worked with these people since the 1970s and I tell you they will never be defeated. Anyone who has come here has got stuck. The more you kill, the more they will expand,” the Times online quoted Imam as saying.

He was trained at Fort Bragg, the US army base where America's special forces are stationed.

The Pakistani intelligence agent made the remarks as Washington prepares to deploy 17,000 extra troops to Afghanistan to fight a growing Taliban-led insurgency by mid-July.

Many analysts believe that Washington's recent decision to increase its troops in Afghanistan will not solve the war-torn country's current impasse and could even result in more civilian casualties.

The number of Afghan civilians killed by US and NATO-led operations has surpassed the civilian casualties caused by the militants.

Lebanon votes in general election

Christian 'kingmakers'

The elections look likely to be decided largely by Lebanon's divided Christian districts.

The Free Patriotic Movement's Aoun, allied to Hezbollah, faces Christian rivals in the shape of the Phalange party led by Amin Gemayel, a former president, and the Lebanese Forces led by Samir Geagea, both members of the March 14 camp.

Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from Lebanon, said the Christians appeared set to emerge as the election "kingmakers". "To put it simply, the Christians are bitterly divided. The Christians find themselves in the two different camps - there are Christian parties on both sides of the political divide," he said. "They are the fluid voters that might go either way. So the Christians are going to end up - even though they're very divided - as the kingmakers."

In the run-up to the elections, much of the campaigning has focused on Hezbollah's military power, which is stronger than the state's security forces.

Opponents say Hezbollah's weapons undermine the state, while the group and its allies see them as crucial to defending Lebanon from Israel.

Sectarian tension brought Lebanon to the brink of civil war last year when more than 100 people were killed in violence before an agreement led to the election of Michel Sleiman, then the army chief, as president and the formation of a national unity government.

Lebanon's power-sharing system divides the 128 seats in parliament equally between Christians and Muslims.

The country's president must be a Maronite Christian, the prime minister a Sunni Muslim and the speaker of parliament a Shia Muslim.
