Terrorists may be using Pak sats to plot against India

ROME: Fresh evidence of continued collusion of Pakistan's official agencies with terrorist groups plotting attacks on India has cast a shadow on
resumption of full-scale talks between the estranged neighbours.

According to sources, state actors in Pakistan were seeking to help terrorist groups using Thuraya satellite phones to plot attacks on India by camouflaging the location of the phones.

The deception game, spoofing in intelligence parlance, involves setting up transmitters near the terrorist bases to block the signals from Thuraya sets which can help pinpoint location of the users. The transmitters cannot be set up or remain hidden to Pakistan's own agencies.

The finding shows Pakistan has failed to meet the condition set by India — credible steps to punish those responsible for the Mumbai terror attack and to destroy terrorist infrastrucuture — for the resumption of the composite dialogue.

1. I bet it will take me 2 minutes to find an anti-India article in a Pakistani website.

I am not saying both news sources are equivalent .. but this article would have a little more credibility if it appeared on say, BBC rather a 'National-Enquirer' type website from India.

2. Times of India is the leading newspaper in India

It is hardly the national inquirer.

I wish Nytimes were so liberal in its outlook

4. Umm...the Times of India is the largest English language paper on the planet

There was some chuckling last year in the global press when everyone realized that the biggest English language paper on the planet was in India, of all places. It's owned by one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, and is a very serious paper.

No opinion on the OP article, but the claim that the TOI is like the National Enquirer is totally incorrect.

6. Some people are unable to discern the differences in layouts

The left and right side columns are sports/family/entertainment/gossip/society ... the middle part is news.

Now that it is clear, happy reading!

8. I have to agree with you

The level of ignorance about many things outside the US shown by the posters on this forum is amazing! I bet the poster above is passing judgment based on one casual perusal of the paper's web site. If before passing such judgment, Wikipedia could have been checked - hardly an arduous task for someone posting in an Internet-based forum, they would have seen that the Times of India has been in print since 1838. The NYT is in fact younger, and dates from 1851.

As someone who grew up reading the Times of India on a daily basis (the print version) and had knowledge of current affairs tested in school based on such reading, hearing it categorized as a 'National Enquirer' type of paper just makes me want to ....

9. I am not unaware of newpapers in India .. I stayed in Hyderabad for two months on work

I dont care how old the Times of India is - it rides a thin line between serious and tabloid Journalism... I am not a prude but I do not think a newspaper needs to put snaps of busty models on its pages to sell extra copies.

I liked 'The Hindu' a lot more .. the editorials were informative, well argued and took principled stances. Heck I did not even miss Paul Krugman's rants as all his Op-eds would show up on Hindu ( usually a day after it appeared on Nytimes.com)


I found nothing of that sort in Times of India.

10. That does not entitle you to pass judgment on the Times of India in the manner you did

The fact that you liked 'The Hindu' more is your personal opinion. But simply because it carried Paul Krugman and the TOI did not does not make it on par with the National Enquirer. The TOI is, first and foremost, an Indian newspaper and carries editorials and op-eds relevant to Indian issues. It carried op-eds by some of the best commentators from India - Dileep Padgaonkar, for one. The daily cartoon entitled 'You Said It' by R K Laxman was often amazing - mordant commentary on the political situation - and the creator has won international awards for them, I believe.

Take a look at the Wikipedia page on this newspaper and see a scan of the front page on the day the train blasts happened in Mumbai. You will hardly see your 'busty models'. These pictures may well appear in the Lifestyle section on the paper. That is hardly a reason to categorize it as a tabloid.

To sum up, your judgment after a two-month perusal of the TOI is hardly justified.
