Terror struck at the heart of cricket when masked gunmen attacked the bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team to the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Five cricketers, including Mahela Jayawardene, the Sri Lankan captain, and his deputy Kumar Sangakkara, received minor injuries. The attack also left six security men and two civilians dead.
Ijaz Butt, the PCB chief, said the Test has been called off. Salman Tasheer, the Punjab governor, said a helicopter will soon evacuate the Sri Lankan players from Gaddafi Stadium and take them to a nearby airbase from where the team will fly back to Sri Lanka. Duleep Mendis, the Sri Lanka Cricket chief, said that they were “getting the team back [to Sri Lanka] today”.
There have been terror strikes on the peripheries of cricket, but this is the first time players have been directly targeted. The Sri Lankans were on their way to the Gaddafi Stadium when their bus was attacked by five armed terrorists near Liberty market. Habibur Rehman, chief commissioner of police, said 12 masked terrorists fired at the Sri Lankan team bus. The gunmen shot at the wheels of the bus and also injured the driver. A grenade was also thrown at the bus but it missed.
Jayawardene received a cut to the ankle while Sangakkara was injured in the shoulder. Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paravitarana were the ones most seriously injured; both received shrapnels in the chest. Ajantha Mendis received a minor injury in the back.
“The bus came under attack as we were driving to the stadium, the gunmen targeted the wheels of the bus first and then the bus,” Mahela Jayawardene told Cricinfo. “We all dived to the floor to take cover. About five players have been injured and also Paul Farbrace [a member of the support staff], but most of the injuries appear to be minor at this stage and caused by debris.”

Bottom Curve
Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, confirmed that the remainder of the tour had been cancelled. “We note with dismay and regret the events of this morning in Lahore and we condemn this attack without reservation.
“It is a source of great sadness that there have been a number of fatalities in this attack and it is also very upsetting for the wider cricket family that some of the Sri Lanka players and one match official have been injured in this attack. At this time our thoughts and prayers are with the injured people and also the families of those who have died.”
Television footage of several gunmen creeping through the trees, crouching to aim their kalashnikovs then running onto the next target were aired by Pakistan’s private channel Geo.
Chamra Ranavira, third secretary and press secretary at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Islamabad, said Samaraweera and Paranavitana had been admitted to hospital, but were out of danger now. “We are communicating with the Pakistan Cricket Board and the high commission has taken action to send the cricket team back home as soon as possible,” he said.
The reserve umpire Ahsan Raza was also injured in the attack. Nadeem Ghauri, the TV umpire, who was traveling in a bus behind the Sri Lanka team bus said the firing continued for some time. Umpire Steve Davis, who was on the team bus, called the terrorist attack “terrible”. “I’m lost for words,” he said.
Speaking from Sri Lanka, Sanath Jayasuriya said that it was an “extremely unfortunate incident. “We’ve never had this kind of problem,” Jayasuriya told CNN-IBN. “They are all safe, that’s the good news I got when I spoke to Kumar. I don’t think they’ll stay back and play. I think they will come back as soon as possible. Depends on the injuries.”
Speaking on Geo TV, Inzamam-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan captain, said: “This is the first time that a cricket team has been seriously targeted… Pakistan’s image will be hit and only time will tell how much damage has been done to Pakistan cricket. The World Cup too might be affected… no country would want to come now to Pakistan… I am worried where Pakistan will get a chance to play, not only in Pakistan but outside as well. This is all so sad.”
The Indian cricket board, which called off a scheduled tour of Pakistan last December, expressed its sorrow over the attack. “We pray for the speedy recovery of the injured cricketers, and sympathise with their families and compatriots,” BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said in New Delhi. “The BCCI stands alongside Sri Lanka Cricket in this hour of crisis.”
The Sri Lankan team had stepped in after the Indian government had barred the Indian team from touring Pakistan after the terror attack in Mumbai.
At the GSMA World Congress 2009, a number of announcements were made by the LG Electronics, one of which included its alliance with Microsoft to make Windows Mobile the chief operating system for the company’s smartphones.
It was announced by LG that as part of the agreement, a tenfold increase of Windows Mobile devices in 2009 would be created by it. The company got things started with the introduction of LG-GM730.
It has come to vision that the GM730 would be started shipping by LG during the first half of 2009. The company informed that it will run Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition. However, it was confirmed by the company that it would launch a Windows Mobile 6.5 version in the second half of the year.
However, it should be noted that users can get LG’s new S-Class 3D user interface instantly. A cube layout with four customizable home screens is featured in S-Class, which the users can rotate through with the flick of a finger.
However, no more details could be gathered about the smartphone. However, it has been confirmed that it will feature Internet Explorer Mobile 6.0 and is 0.46-inch thick. LG will soon come out with more announcements and also there would be some news about a North American release.
Acer’s most popular netbook, the 8-inch Aspire one, has been launched. However, as they say, every rose has a thorn, this incredibly small netbook too has some flaws. For starters, many feel that an 8-inch screen would apparently be too small and they expect a netbook with at least 10-inch screen.
But it would be really nice to know that soon Acer would come out with 10-inch version of the same model. Though there has been no word on pricing or availability, it has been learnt that the machines with 10-inches screen will run on the Intel Atom N280/N270.
Some of the features of the yet to come Aspire one with 10-inch screen includes 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, optional 3G connectivity, multi-touch track pad, Windows XP and a SDHC card reader.
A legal notice has been received by India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki, a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corp from Honda Siel Cars, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, since the former claimed in advertisement that its SX4 sedan is bigger than the Honda’s segment Leader City and is loaded with more features. The company received the notice on 13th January.
The ad by Maruti shows that the SX4 is bigger than City’s entry-level model, and furthermore, it does not have an integrated stereo as standard equipment.
Honda, filled with fury after viewing the ad, said, “The advertisement makes inaccurate, incomplete and distorted statements with an intention to mislead customers that amounts to unfair trade practice.” According to Honda, the ad is an attempt to discredit the new City, launched in November last year.
Honda has instructed Maruti to remove the advertisement as soon as possible and also has hinted at seeking damages. Honda’s law firm Ajit K Singh served the notice to Maruti. It was confirmed by the Honda executives that before initiating any action, including suing for monetary compensation, they are awaiting Maruti’s response on the issue.
It was informed by the Maruti officials that a legal notice has been served on the company. A Maruti spokesperson said, “We are examining the issue legally and will take suitable action as and when required.”
Berlin – Germany’s president, Horst Koehler, congratulated new US President Barack Obama by telegram Tuesday on his inauguration and invited him to visit Germany soon.
Obama has in effect two counterparts in Germany: Koehler as head of state and Chancellor Angela Merkel as head of government. Merkel had earlier Tuesday welcomed Obama in remarks on German television.
Referring to this year’s anniversary of the end of communism in Germany in 1989, Koehler wrote in the message: “It’s largely thanks to our American friends that we Germans are celebrating this year our freedom and unification.”
A German newspaper, Rheinische Post, reported meanwhile that German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier had hoped to visit Washington by mid-February to meet the new US secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Washington. (dpa)
London – Consumer price inflation fell sharply in Britain in December to an annual rate of 3.1 per cent from 4.1 per cent in November, the Office for National Statistics
(ONS) said Tuesday.
The biggest factor behind the fall was the temporary reduction in Value Added Tax to 15 per cent, decreed by the government in late November as part of an effort to stimulate demand.
The headline rate of inflation measured by the Retail Prices Index (RPI), which takes into account mortgage costs, fell to 0.9 per cent from November’s rate of 3 per cent.
Falling petrol prices and discounting in shops before Christmas also helped reduce inflation, the ONS said.
“Inflation is most definitely yesterday’s story. Unless the huge stimulus from the VAT reduction, record low interest rates, a falling pound and the collapse in the oil price begin to take effect soon, the UK will be staring deflation in the face,” said Graeme Leach, chief economist at the Institute of Directors.

London, Jan 10 (ANI): Patrick Swayze has checked himself into a hospital days after making a TV show on his fight with deadly pancreatic cancer, it has been revealed.
The ‘Dirty Dancing’ star reportedly has pneumonia — a result of chemotherapy attacking his immune system.
He had been due to promote his new TV series The Beast but insisted the press event go-ahead without him while he was treated in Los Angeles, reports the Sun.
Robert DeBitetto, president of channel A&E which makes the show, said: “Patrick checked himself into hospital for observation. Chemotherapy can take its toll on the immune system, and illnesses are a part of that. Patrick wishes me to tell you that he’s very sorry he cannot attend, but plans to get
back to promoting The Beast soon.
“He thanks everybody for the outpouring of support. We hope to see him back on his feet soon.”
During an interview, the actor told Barbara Walters that his road has been difficult.
“You can bet that I”m going through hell. And I”ve only seen the beginning of it,” he said.
Swayze, 56, who went public with his diagnosis last March, said the disease has taken an emotional toll.
“There”s a lot of fear here. Yeah, I”m scared. Yeah, I”m angry. Yeah, I”m [asking], why me,” he said. (ANI)
Hyderabad/Mumbai, Jan 9 (ANI): The recent corporate fraud of inflated profits of Satyam Computer, the country”s fourth-largest software company, has shocked investors in India.
Newspapers across the country on Friday carried the headlines screaming for the authorities to take action against the corporate fraud in order to reinstate the investor confidence.
Satyam employees shuffled into its Hyderabad office refusing to comment on anything. But employees of the software companies in Hyderabad said that the truth needed to come out soon so that air could be cleared.
Many said that investors as well as employees needed to get back the confidence that the Satyam corporate fraud was just an aberration and the moral health along with the financial health of India Inc was good.
“If tough actions are taken immediately, and truth is brought out immediately, we can at least get out that as soon as possible. That will help us, everybody, including customers,” said Kumar, an employee of a software firm.
The investigators are expected to swoop down on the company”s headquarters to search for clues on how the fraud could have been hidden for so long.
It may also increase investor nervousness about weak corporate governance and oversight in emerging markets, which are still reeling from the global financial crisis.
Amit Whagware from Mumbai who had invested in Satyam and other IT companies almost a year back said that this fraud was a big blow to investors, especially in times of global recessionary trends.
“It was a big shock to IT industry as well as to all the investors who were relying on such companies,” said Whagware.
Meanwhile, official sources have indicated that steps would be taken to strengthen laws to prevent corporate fraud after the scandal that sent the company”s shares plunging nearly 80 per cent. (ANI)
Washington, Jan 08 (ANI): Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, who recently wed Ryan Reynolds, revealed that she wasn’t surprised when the actor popped the question.
The ‘The Black Dahlia’ actress said that people always emphasize that marriage proposals are unbelievable, but actually they are quite believable.
“I wasn”t surprised,” People magazine quoted Scarlett, as telling Harper”s Bazaar.
“You say you can”t believe it, but of course you really can,” Scarlett added.
Scarlett revealed that she doesn’t have any immediate plans to have children with Ryan.
“I”m not pregnant nor will I be any time soon,” she said. (ANI)
London, Jan 08 (ANI): Hollywood actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who acted together in hit comedy flick ‘Shaun of the Dead’, will soon be seen in Steven Spielberg”s flick, which is an adaptation of classic Tintin comics.
The duo, which made all laugh with their comical antics in flicks like Hot Fuzz, will be cast as a clumsy detective pair Thomson and Thompson in the flick, reports the Daily Express.
But the challenge Spielberg faces is to make the duo look alike, as their characters were depicted as identical twins in the children’s adventure series.
The flick is slated for a 2010 release. (ANI)
Sri Lanka Army claims capture of more LTTE territory
Colombo, Jan.8 (ANI): A spokesman of the Sri Lanka military said on Thursday that government troops have taken more territory from Tamil Tiger rebels in the northern Jaffna peninsula.
Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told a press conference here that the army has seized the town of Pallai and hopes to recapture the entire northern part of the country soon.
Pallai is south of Muhamalai, the northernmost defensive line of the rebels in Jaffna, which the troops captured on Tuesday.
The Tigers have not yet commented on the latest fighting in Jaffna.
He said that the army”s key objective is to open up the strategically located Elephant Pass, to allow free movement between Jaffna and the mainland.
Government troops are already at the southern end, he added.
The LTTEs” administrative and political capital, Kilinochchi, fell to Sri Lankan troops last week.
The rebels have been fighting for the separate homeland for the past 25 years. At least 70,000 people have been killed in the conflict. (ANI)
