FBI identifies terror camp in Pakistan through satellite pictures

Pakistan’s claims that it does not have terrorist training camps in its territory is being strongly contested by FBI which has told a US court that satellite pictures pointed towards such a camp.

In the trial of 23-year-old Pakistani American Hamid Hayat, who has been accused of terrorism-related charges, Defence Intelligence Agency’s expert Eric Benn has stated that there was as much of a seventy per cent “probablity” that the satellite images pointed to a militant training camp near Balakot in northeast Pakistan.

Much to Pakistan’s embarrassment, Benn told the district court in California that although he did not “detect any formal weapons training“, including firing ranges, targets, rocket launchers or explosives testing, it did not mean they were not taking place

The structures and trail in the remote terrain fit the “signature” of “militant training“, as opposed to regular training of Pakistani armed forces, he said.

India to launch Chandrayaan-I in 2007-08

India will launch its first moon mission Chandrayaan-I in 2007-2008 during which the world would see similar endeavours by China, Japan, US and Europe, opening new vistas for mutually beneficial cooperation, a senior Indian space scientist said on Thursday.

“Chandrayaan-I is a lunar polar orbiter designed for chemical, mineralogic and topographic mapping of the lunar surface. It will provide complete coverage of the moon from an altitude of about 100 km during its observation period of two years planned in 2008-2010,” said Bhandari, also President of International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG).

CEO Ramadorai is sixth most influential IT leader

In what can be termed as the growing prowess of the Indian IT sector, Tata Consultancy Services Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director S Ramadorai has been named as the sixth most influential person in the global enterprise IT sector.

Ramadorai was ranked a notch below Oracle’s Larry Ellison, but was positioned above IT biggies such as Alfred Chuang and Kevin Rolls by global IT magazine Computer Business Review .

“What led us to put him at number six is his firm’s winning of one of the UK’s largest ever business process outsourcing deals, a $848 million, 12-year-contract from UK’s Pearl Group. It is also the largest manpower transfer deal undertaken by any Indian IT company,” said CBR officials.

“His efforts have helped make TCS one of the largest global software and service companies, with almost 50,000 associates working in 53 countries and an annual revenue of $2 billion.

Under Ramadorai’s watch, TCS has more or less doubled its revenue every two years. TCS best reflects the profound influence that offshoring, and in particular Indian offshoring, has had on the enterprise IT sector,” they said.

UK-based CBR is considered as the largest IT enterprise magazine in the world.

TCS, Microsoft spur IT boom in Guj

Ack:- Parchuri Gopikrishna

With the entry of IT giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Microsoft, Gujarat is hoping for a boom in this industry.

“Earlier we were not able to attract investments because there were communal riots, the attack on the Akshardham temple and so on. Now it is happening at the Infocity,” said Anupam Saxena of Creative Infocity Ltd, which holds a major stake in the IT park project promoted by the state government.

He said government policies had led to a reduction of around 40 percent in the cost of setting up IT businesses in Gujarat.

Along with Microsoft and TCS, around 40 companies are at the Infocity, which is close to the state capital Gandhinagar and was constructed in 2000.
