Death Tunnel Pakistan
Pakistan Navy test-fires missile
Three surface-to-air missile tests were carried out in Sonmiani area of Sindh province, a navy spokesman said, adding all missiles hit their targets precisely.
Naval chief Admiral Noman Bashir and Air Defence Commander Vice Admiral Tayyab Ali Dogar witnessed the drill.
“The successful testing will add to the defence capability of the Pakistan Navy,” Mr. Bashir said.
A combination of surface-to-air missiles was tested, the navy said in a statement.
The “fire and forget” missiles are equipped with highly sensitive infrared homing heads that can intercept high speed aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
These weapons give the navy the flexibility to operate with various missiles and strengthen the ground-based air defence, the statement said.
The area of responsibility of the navy’s Air Defence Battalion stretches from Sir Creek in the east to Jiwani in the west, it added.
Officials said the induction of modern weapons and equipment will augment the navy’s ground-based air defence capabilities against hi-tech aircraft and missiles.

Pakistan win men's squash team gold
[But world number one Nicol David grabbed her fourth Asiad gold medal as she powered Malaysia to a 2-0 win over Hong Kong in the women’s team final.
It was only Pakistan’s second gold of these Games after the women’s cricket title. It was also their second squash gold since the racquet sport made its Asiad debut in 1998 when they won the men’s singles.
“I feel really fantastic because I defeated Iskandar,” the 20-year-old Khan said after whipping his Malaysian rival 14-12, 15-13, 11-4.
“After losing to Iskandar in the singles, I was mentally down and thought to myself that we could not get to the gold medal.
“My coach taught me a few things to prepare myself mentally and physically. I don’t want to mention them because this is confidential.”
The squash team events were held for the first time at the Guangzhou Games.
In the first men’s match against Malaysia, Farhan Mehboob breezed past 2002 and 2006 singles champion Ong Beng Hee 11-4, 11-4, 11-7.
Khan then went tit-for-tat against Iskandar to take the first two sets 14-12, 15-13. He took the third set 11-4 when a visibly tired Iskandar dropped his racquet in a return effort.
In the women’s final, Low Wee Wern saw off 2002 Asiad women’s champion Rebecca Chiu 11-4, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9 in the first match.
David, who had already defended her singles crown, then defeated Annie Au 11-8, 11-7, 11-6 in a repeat of the women’s final.
“It’s a great feeling,” said David. “Everybody just kept working all the way. We have a strong team and we just needed to push out.”
“No doubt they have a great team,” added David, who has won the World Open singles title five times, the last three in a row.
“They have the level of squash to reach the top 20.”
Low, currently ranked 16th in the world and three places above Chiu, said: “I knew it was going to be tough.”
The 27-year-old David added that she would keep on playing for “at least another five years.”
“Hopefully I can push it for seven-eight years,” David said. “But this game is intense and I’ll really have to pay attention to recovery and keeping away from injuries.”
She added she would build a squash academy after her retirement and “try to develop girls’ squash not only in Malaysia but around Asia and the world.”]

Pakistan Won Gold in Hockey after 20 years
Veteran Sohail Abbas put Pakistan ahead with his team’s first penalty corner in the 26th minute, before striker Rehan Butt increased the margin three minutes after half-time.
It was Pakistan’s eighth Asiad hockey gold, ending a drought that stretched back to Beijing in 1990, and handed them their first major title since winning the World Cup in Sydney in 1994.
Pakistan ended the year on a high after a disappointing eight-month period in which they finished a humiliating last at the World Cup in March and took sixth place at the Commonwealth Games in October.
The Pakistanis kneeled in prayer after the final whistle, before lifting their Dutch coach Michel van den Heuvel over their shoulders to loud applause from the stands.
Pakistan captain Zeeshan Ashraf said he was at a loss for words to describe his feelings at winning a long-awaited title which gave his team a direct entry to the 2012 London Olympics
“It’s our turn to celebrate,” said Ashraf. “Taking the gold after 20 years was important, but I am happier that we have also booked a place in the Olympics.
“What can I say about my team? They were just brilliant. We came here to win and achieved our target. Hopefully the past will be forgotten.
“Our country is facing so many problems that it needs moments like this to celebrate. I am sure our win would have brought smiles on the faces of all Pakistanis.”
Malaysia, often dubbed the sport’s perennial under-achievers, had to settle for silver in their maiden appearance in the title clash after winning the bronze medal six times.
The entire Malaysian team, barring Sikh player Baljit Singh, shaved their heads in a practice called ‘nazar’ to ward off evil spirits in the final, but failed to produce the spark that won them the semi-final against India.
Amin Rahim, whose two late goals sank India, faltered in all three penalty corners his team earned in the second half.
Malaysia had gone into the final as the only unbeaten team in the competition with four wins and a draw.
“It is disappointing to lose,” said striker Faisal Saari. “But look at it this way – we won six bronze medals earlier, now we have taken the silver.
“I am sure we can only get better after this.”
Meanwhile, India returned to the Asiad podium after missing out in Doha four years ago when they defeated favourites South Korea 1-0 in the bronze medal play-off.
Tushar Khandekar netted the winner four minutes into the second session as India dominated the lacklustre Koreans through the 70-minute encounter.
India had not won an Asiad hockey medal for the first time in Doha and paid the price when they failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympics two years ago.]
