At a trial in Chicago

[lynk2510]

A small group of terrorists stormed a heavily protected military base in Karachi and held a part of it during an 18-hour firefight. Perhaps as few as six attackers were able to penetrate the base, wreck two aircraft and kill at least ten personnel; two of them escaped. The PAKISTANI TALIBAN claimed they did it in retaliation for the killing of Osama bin Laden.



The Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted that nuclear fuel in three of the reactors at its Fukushima power plant melted soon after the earthquake and tsunami that struck JAPAN on March 11th. The disclosure implies that the plant released much more radiation than TEPCO had first estimated.



CHINA acknowledged "urgent problems" afflicting the Three Gorges Dam. The State Council noted worrying damage to the surrounding region's water supply and geology as well as to the livelihoods of the 1.3m people its construction had displaced. An audit revealed dozens of financial irregularities. An additional 50 billion cubic metres of water will be released downstream by the dam this season, as the Yangzi basin suffers its worst drought in 50 years.



Kim Jong Il was spotted touring eastern China on his personal armoured train, in what may be his third such trip in a year (both North Korea and China keep mum about the details). NORTH KOREA has a number of reasons to shore up its relationship with China, not least the threat of food shortages this year and the eventual transition of power from Mr Kim to his son, Kim Jong Un.



At a trial in Chicago, David Headley, a Pakistani-American who pleaded guilty to conspiring in the terrorist assault on MUMBAI in November 2008, testified that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency had provided financial and logistical support to the group that carried out the attack.
