Chinese troops in North Pakistan, and Pakistan's ISI in Kathmandu ?

The Times of India (October 3rd, 2010) echoing an article by Selig Harrison (New York Times, August 27th, 2010) reports that there might be 10 000 Chinese troops in the region of Gilgit-Baltistan, North Pakistan). The Indian newspaper also mention the delivery of 17 Chinese Thunder Jets fighters as well as precision guides missiles. The report has been denied by Pakistani and Chinese authorities. After these latest sources the presence of Chinese workers in North Pakistan is mainly for humanitarian purposes and road reconstruction,  in the aftermath of the massive floods and landslides that affected the area. 

In an audio recording, the second in 2 days, Bin Laden, noting that while the General Secretary of the UN, Ban Ki Moon, has visited the sites of these natural catastrophes, expresses his dismay at the fact that "no Arab leader came to witness the disaster despite the short distances and claims of brotherhood".

Would the Jihadist in Chief begin to wonder about Islam's multisecular inability and failure to create solidarity reflexes even between - not speaking about members of the human species - Muslims and Muslim States. 

If the tree is to be judged from its fruit, the most patent failure of Islam is to have been unable to transcend the clanic cultural structure, to be in fact merely a hypostasis of it, to have conceived the Umma as a bunch of clans where what, eventually, really matters is the internal  solidarity not even of nations but of clans.

The Times of India (October 5t, 2010) reports that the caretaker government of Nepal has "finalized a draft for an extradition law paving the way for an extradition treaty with India. ... which would allow India to seek extradition of individuals from third countries. In the light of ISI activities in Nepal India has been pressing Nepal for [such] a revised extradition treaty". Reminds me that a staff member of the US Ambassy in Kathmandu I met on a flight Delhi-Kathmandu had told me about the uneasiness of the USA with the porosity of the Indo-Nepalese Terai border and the laxity of controls, at Tribhuvan airport, of direct flights from Pakistan to Kathmandu.
