London: Imran Khan, the cricketer-turned-politician who has made headlines on front pages in Pakistan in recent months, has also attracted the attraction of foreign media.

Newspapers abroad gave much importance to the public meeting Imran’s Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf organised on Sunday in Karachi which many said was one of the biggest held in recent years.

Guardian reported over100,000 people attended the public meeting which strengthened the perception that his strength in the political arena is increasing by the day.

The newspaper said the reasons for his rising popularity was his stance against corruption and the United States’ war on terror.

Guardian said Khan is very popular in urban middle class and most of the youngsters that attended the Sunday gathering wore western dresses.

The British newspaper said his rising popularity is a cause for concern for US because of his criticism of US policies, particularly the drone attacks in Pakistan’s tribal areas. Guardian, however, said it was not clear how much electoral success he can achieve.

Telegraph, another British newspaper, said the Karachi meeting has made Khan’s position in Pakistan’s politics more prominent.

Los Angeles Times called the public meeting in Karachi impressive and said Khan has emerged as a force in the anarchic political situation of Pakistan.

It said Imran’s campaign has gained momentum at a time when the ruling PPP is facing a lot of problems. The newspaper said Khan’s pace shows he can win the elections.

Top Indian news paper including "Hindustan Time", "The Hindu" and "Times of India" have also given prominent coverage to Imran massive rally in Karachi. Moreover many Indian papers also published articles and columns over Imran popularity in Pakistan while many Hindi channels also cover the rally live from Karachi.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s intelligence chief on Thursday denied US accusations that the country supports the Haqqani network, an Afghan militant group blamed for an attack on the American embassy in Kabul. “There are other intelligence networks supporting groups who operate inside Afghanistan. We have never paid a penny or provided even a single bullet to the Haqqani network,” Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha told Reuters after meeting political leaders over heavily strained US-Pakistani ties. Pasha, one of the most powerful men in the South Asian nation, told the all-party gathering that US military action against insurgents in Pakistan would be unacceptable and the army would be capable of responding, local media said. But he later said the reports were “baseless”. Pakistan has long faced US demands to attack militants on its side of the border with Afghanistan, but pressure has grown since the top US military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, accused Pasha’s Inter-Services Intelligence ...

Drone Wars: The rationale.The Drone Wars are the new black.

The Drone Wars are the new black. The once covert, highly-secretive and little talked about strategy of using unmanned aerial vehicles to target suspected terrorists in Pakistan and elsewhere has gone mainstream. And now everyone is talking about it. Even Leon Panetta, the former C.I.A. director, whose old agency doesn't officially admit that its drone program exists, is talking about it. Twice in a matter of hours last week he joked about the C.I.A.'s pension for deploying the ominously-named Predator drones. “Obviously I have a hell of a lot more weapons available to me here than I had at the C.I.A.,” he said, referring to his new post as secretary of defense. “Although the Predators aren’t bad.” Complete coverage: The Drone Wars Later that same day, on the tarmac of a naval air base, he said, coyly, that the use of Predators are “something I was very familiar with in my old job.” Soon after, a Predator armed with hellfire missiles took flight from the runway, bound for Libya...
