Cyber War in the Middle East.

According to the latest news, Israel’s national airline EI AI and Tel Aviv stock exchange had been under the cyber attack, the latest in a series of cyber attacks on the Israeli businesses. A Saudi hacker, who calls himself as OxOmar, is considered to be behind this latest attack.




Israeli media considers such attacks as ‘politically motivated’ and they have expressed their motivation to retaliate. Hamas, the group which administers the Gaza Strip has hailed such attacks and encouraged the hackers to step up. Pro-Palestinian groups have said that they will continue such attacks in the future as well.



The computer experts in Israel has said that politically motivated attacks had happened in the past and they will continue to happen in future too. Thus, they urged private sector businesses to improve their cyber security to avoid such happenings in the future.



In nutshell, one can say that the Cyber-Security would be one of the most important challenges in the future, as there is a growing tendency to transfer business operations online. Disregarding the world in future is safer from the cyber-attacks or not, one things is for sure; thanks to cyber hackers, the demand for the computer specialists would continue to increase in future.

Hassan Nisar Advises Imran Khan

Today, it is the fact that Pakistan needs a drastic change to bring the country back on track and to realize those dreams which led the creation of Pakistan. Our nation had been, due to its own repeated mistakes, very unfortunate over the last six decades. If looked from the above, then Pakistan seems to be an estate of some blessed, or cursed, families who continue to rule the masses by their turn. It was understood and no one dared to challenge the unwritten rule that after Z. A, Bhutto, his daughter will ‘rule’ the nation. After the murder of Benazir Bhutto, it would be his husband taking care of the national matters while senior and brilliant politicians like Aitzaz Ahsan would sit in last rows. And, When Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would finish his education, he would be a source of inspiration for seasoned and learnt politicians of Pakistan Peoples Party.


On the other hands, Sharif brothers had the monopoly on the Pakistan Muslim League. Not a single politician from the lines of PML could dare to think that he could be the head-of-the-state. It was quietly understood, and secretly agreed upon that after one Sharif, there would be the other Sharif who would lead the nation. It seemed that ordinary citizens are born only to be ruled and ‘subject’ of Bhutto-Sharif kingdom until Imran Khan emerged as a third political force in Pakistani political arena. Now Khan is looked upon as the final resort, and as the last hope.

Hassan Nisar, a leading columnist, in his column published in Daily Jang on Monday, January 16, 2012, advises Imran Khan to be careful in the way ahead. Hassan Nisar highlighted the fact that the economic and institutional situation of Pakistan is really in a mess. On the other hand, however, people have great expectation out of Imran Khan. It will be highly illogical to expect any miracle over night, if Imran Khan comes in a position to run the affairs of the state. Thus, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of Khan, that how he leads and educates the masses who are eagerly waiting for some good news.
