Kerry: Alliance of U.S. - Pakistan a "critical moment"

Kabul, Afghanistan - U.S. Senator John Kerry warned relations Sunday that already precarious U.S. - Pakistan have reached a critical moment as calls grow United States to remove some of the billions of dollars in aid to Islamabad after the assassination of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

Kerry, who spoke in Afghanistan before going to Pakistan, said sobre discussion and serious was necessary to resolve the gap growing growth to suspect that Pakistan's security forces were complicit by hosting the leader of al-Qaedawho was killed May 2 in a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs not far from Islamabad.

For its part, Pakistan is angry that he did not say on the Abbottabad raid until after it was completed. That prompted charges of violation of its sovereignty.

Kerry - influential Chairman of the Committee of the Senate Foreign Relations and the highest us official to visit Pakistan since the raid has product - sounded an optimistic tone.

"I believe that for the moment, that we want to be optimistic, optimistic that we can work our way through this, cross this hiccup, and find a positive way forward," he said.

But he said that patience was running thin in Washington after that that he has discovered that the leader of the terror living for years in a compound in a military garrison town which includes the equivalent of Pakistan from West Point.

"I believe that the most important here is not step into a pointing finger recrimination, accuser back and forth.". The important thing is to understand that the important and significant events took place in the last days have a profound impact on what we have called the war against terrorism, a profound impact on our relationship as a result, "Kerry said to journalists in the Afghan capital.

He added that "we must find a way to walk forward if possible." "If it is not possible, there is a set of consequences disadvantage that can be profound." It was not specified.

There are growing calls in the House and the Senate to cut billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan.

"It is no secret that there are members of Congress who have made an appeal to a change in the program", said Kerry.

Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, was one of the most important visits to Pakistan by an American officer of the years.

In an indication of the seriousness of the visit, President Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister of Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and army General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani Chief met in advance of the arrival of the Kerry later Sunday.

Much is at stake. The United States need cooperation of Pakistan if it wants to find a solution to the war in Afghanistan and to contribute to a process of reconciliation who wishes to mode a non-military solution to the insurgency of the Taliban. It must also military assistance of Pakistan against the insurgents with its lawless tribal areas to stage attacks against the Americans, coalition and Afghan forces.

It must also ensure that Pakistani nuclear weapons without succumbing to rise of Islamic extremism and its own tenacious insurgency, which has claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

Pakistan also has much to lose. Its failing economy desperately need American foreign aid and other. Since 2002, Pakistan has received more than 20 billion dollars of the United States, making the country one of the most important to the United States, the beneficiaries of aid according to the Congressional Research Service. Approximately $ 9 billion which has been in the form of reimbursements of expenses of Pakistan support the military campaign led by the United States in Afghanistan.

Kerry, who has been a supporter of Pakistan, in the past spent the weekend at the meeting of the Afghanistan with the Afghan President Hamid Karzai, his Cabinet and the military responsible for United States continue the campaign against the insurgency.

Although he praised Pakistani help in the past, including the staff of the US intelligence services to operate in Pakistan, which allowed - which said had helped the United States follow the bin Ladens - it also says concerned by some of the actions of Pakistan.

Kerry said that during to a visit to Khost province, located on the eastern border with Pakistan, he was informed of the Taliban and insurgents refuge just next to border North Waziristan, used to launch attacks. The Pakistani army has so far not gone after the refuge.

"Yes, he y insurgents coming across the border," Kerry said. "Yes, they are operating from North Waziristan and other areas of the shrines." And Yes, there is evidence of knowledge of Government of Pakistan of some of these activities in a manner to is very disturbing. This will be without any question one of the topics of conversation. ?

But he also said that the death of Osama bin Laden can present a new opportunity for reconciliation with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Kerry travel comes also the growth condemnation of the U.S. raid and frequent Pakistani leaders drone strikes, military officials, the Parliament and Islamic extremists.

Parliament has threatened to stop the United States supply convoys and NATO if the strikes continued.

A hard eminent leader with alleged links with the militants has attracted at least 4,000 people at a rally in the city of Lahore, Pakistan on Sunday in support of bin Laden and against the United States.

Hafiz Saeed, the leader of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, called bin Laden a martyr and required links the break with the United States Government of Pakistan to kill.

Jamaat-ud-Dawa is supposed to be a front for the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is suspected of conducting a series of attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 which killed 166 people.

To test final moment at the nuclear Iran

Tehran  - Iran carried out final tests its first nuclear plant and it is planned to begin producing electricity in the next two months, the Iranian media, said Monday.

Intended to be the first of a network of nuclear power plants that iran says it is planning, the Russian-built Bushehr complex exceeded the period after the date limit coming on flows, most recently fuel had to be removed and checked for technical problems.

The Fars news agency said that Bushehr would begin injection of power in the national network of electricity over the next two months.

"Right now, after the fuel rods were unloaded in the heart of the reactor have been washed, they are loaded again and final tests are underway," Gholamali Miglinejad, a member of a parliamentary Committee monitoring Bushehr, was quoted saying by the student ISNA news agency.

The Iran began to load fuel in Bushehr last August of foreign and national media, touting as a symbol of resistance to international sanctions imposed by countries who suspect that the Islamic State is seeking nuclear weaponssomething she denies.

At this time, Iranian officials said it would take two to three months of Bushehr begin to produce energy, and that it would generate 1,000 megawatts, about 2.5 percent of the Iran electricity consumption. The Russia is the fuel for Bushehr.

But the start-up of the plant was hit by several delays since, with some analysts blaming the mysterious Stuxnet computer virus. Stuxnet said Tehran has plagued personal computers at Bushehr, but not step affected major systems there.

Security experts say the worm may have been an attack supported by the State on the Iranian nuclear programme and of goods originating in the United States or the Israel. None of the two countries mentioned no link with Stuxnet.

Security sources and diplomats say the Western Governments and sabotage of view Israel as a way to slow down the Iran nuclear work.

NUCLEAR SABOTAGE IN IRAN?

Some analysts argue that iran may suffer broader sabotage aimed at slowing his nuclear advances, pointing to a series of unexplained technical problems that have reduced the number of working centrifuge at its Natanz uranium enrichment plant.

Natanz is at the heart of Western concerns about the nuclear intentions of the Iran since the country, without any other nuclear power plants that Bushehr, has no current civilian use for enriched uranium. Western leaders believe that iran, the world largest oil and gas producers, secretly aims to refine the uranium to a level suitable for atomic bombs.

Earlier this month, an Iranian official said as his country had been hit by a new malware called "Stars". But foreign experts have expressed their doubt as this represented a second cyber attack.

The Bushehr plant was started by German electronics giant Siemens in the 1970s, but the project was interrupted by the Iran in 1979 Islamic revolution.

The later completed Russia plant and will supply its fuel.

To mitigate the concerns abroad, that the Iran could reprocess spent fuel for Bushehr in bomb-grade plutonium bars, Russia repatriate the spent fuel. The plant will also regularly followed by the inspectors of the UN nuclear monitoring agency.

Western officials have asked Iran to accede to the Convention of 1996 on nuclear safety, saying that the Islamic State would be the only country to operate a nuclear reactor which is not part of the international Covenant, once Bushehr is launched.

The convention, with 72 States signatories now, has been designed to enhance global nuclear security, an issue which has gained more importance in crisis nuclear the Japan Fukushima, through a system of peer review and mutual monitoring.

"Location of the plant on the coast makes the security of Iran's nuclear program a concern of regional security", the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a think tank, said in a report last month.

He noted that Bushehr, as Fukushima, is in a seismic zone. But the Iran does not have to fear a tsunami of the size of the electricity blackout and back-up to Fukushima cooling systems, as Bushehr is located on the Gulf and not an ocean.
