LAHORE: Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ahmad Raza Tahir on Wednesday ordered an immediate crackdown against provocative and anti-religious material, and also directed the Traffic Police to take prompt action against sectarian advertisements pasted on the back of rickshaws in the city.

The orders were passed during the CCPO’s meeting with a ten-member delegation of ulema, led by Dr Raghib Hussain Naeemi. The meeting was also attended by DIG Operations Ghulam Mehmood Dogar and other high-ranking officials.

Dr Naeemi told The Express Tribune that they had met the CCPO to express their concerns regarding the registration of FIRs against ulema under the Amplifier Act, and that this was discrimination and should not focus on just one sect and others using amplifiers should also be tried. He also said that provocative advertisement on the back of rickshaws and other vehicles were discussed, and the CCPO was also asked to solve the issue regarding illegal occupation of Mosques. The CCPO informed them that the matter was sub judice and they should wait for the issue to be settled in court.

Tahir appealed to the ulema to avoid the misuse of loudspeakers and keep the volume limited to the audience, ensure proper checking of people entering places of worship, and to ensure that cars, motorcycles and cycle stands were well away from the crowd.

He also called on them to stop giving sectarian sermons and instead forge an atmosphere of unity and brotherhood among their followers.

The CCPO called on the ulema to spread a message of peace, unity and brotherhood among their followers to defeat the aims of anti-state elements. He said the ulema can play a leading role in the maintenance of law and order in Lahore and help thwart the designs of terrorists.

Tahir noted that all segments of society will have to join hands to eliminate terrorism. He also assured the delegation that he would take timely action on their demands.

The ulema also gave the CCPO assurance of their cooperation.

Other members of the delegation included Maulana Muhammad Ali Naqshbandi, Mufti Muhammad Imran, Mufti Muhammad Haseeb Qadri, Mufti Kareem Khan, Maulana Imran-ul-Haq Farooqi, Maulana Murtaza Hashmi and Maulana Mujahid Abdul Rasool.

Stolen NASA laptop contained space station control codes

By Matt Liebowitz

updated 3/1/2012 7:27:17 PM ET

A laptop stolen from NASA last year was unencrypted and contained command and control codes for the International Space Station on it, the agency's inspector general told a House subcommittee Wednesday.

In his testimony before a House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee, NASA Inspector General Paul Martin said the notebook computer stolen in March 2011 "resulted in the loss of the algorithms" used to control the space station. This particular laptop, Martin said, was one of 48 NASA notebooks or mobile devices stolen between April 2009 and April 2011.

Some of these thefts resulted in the leak of sensitive data "including export-controlled, Personally Identifiable Information, and third-party intellectual property," as well as Social Security numbers and data on NASA's Constellation and Orion programs, Martin said. [NASA Computer Hacked, Satellite Data Accessed]

The actual number of stolen and compromised devices could be much higher because NASA relies on employees to self-report incidents.

In an email, NASA spokesman Trent Perrotto told SecurityNewsDaily that "at no point in time have operations of the International Space Station been in jeopardy due to a data breach."

"NASA has made significant progress to better protect the agency's IT systems and is in the process of implementing the recommendations made by the NASA Inspector General in this area," Perotto added. 

In 2011, NASA, which Martin rightly called a "target-rich environment for cyberattacks," was the target of 47 advanced persistent threats, 13 of which successfully compromised NASA computers.

QUETTA - Quetta Judicial Magistrate-III Muhammad Ibrahim Kakar has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Geo’s anchorperson and columnist Hamid Mir as well as the chairman of the group and editor-in-chief of daily Jung newspaper. The court issued Mir’s arrest warrant in a case filed by a senior lawyer of Balochistan, Khalid Khan. The petitioner has taken the plea that in his column of October 24, 2011, Mir had deliberately used contemptuous words against Pashtoon nationality that hurt the feeling of Pashtoon people. Besides the columnist, he had also made the editor-in-chief of the newspaper a party in the case.
He has prayed for legal action against both the columnist and editor- in-chief for hurting the feelings of Pashtoons. Notices have already been served on both respondents for their appearance before the court but they failed to comply with the orders. Three lawyers, including Abdul Majid Kakar, Abdul Wali Nasir and Abdul Zahir represented the petitioner in the court.
