India Inc busy rebuilding Afghanistan By Mahendra Ved TIMES NEWS NETWORK Kabul: Building roads and bridges, providing IT training and equipment, advising on education, banking, warehousing, rehabili- tating of dams and the like, Indi- ans have made their presence felt in Afghanistan. Enjoying tremendous goodwill with the government and the pub- lic alike, India and its entrepre- neurs appear to have returned on the dot to this traditional territory that was disrupted by years of civ- il strife. The market, which was earlier confined to traditional goods and intermediate technolo- gy, has now expanded manifold in terms of volume and technology. Politically,the current situation is peculiar in that it is loaded heav- ily against Afghanistan’s largest neighbour, Pakistan. Despite an estimated $2 billion worth of border trade with Pak- istan, Afghanistan conducts 80 per cent of its trade through Iran. Ac- cess through Karachi has been re- stricted. A significant development in re- gional terms is that Indians are fast getting into a trade loop that benefits both India and Afghanistan. Despite being land- locked and lacking in infrastruc- ture required for trade to boom, Afghanistan has emerge as the conduit point for trade for a vast neighbourhood. All is not smooth in a country that has only one bank. The Afghan government has invited, among others, State Bank of India and Lord Krishna Bank to make bids for expanding the banking network in the country. While building new roads, Indi- ans are also keeping the existing ones busy. So, more Indian buses are poised to connect the cities of this mountainous country. Besides the 400 buses being sent as part of the $100-million Indian grant, of which 274 are already plying, the Afghan authorities have opted for commercial purchase of 900 more buses. Besides, a Hyderabad firm is laying the towers and will soon introduce CDMA technology to revolutionise the fledgling mobile network. A clutch of business representa- tives belonging to a major Indian industrial house spend Rs 50 lakh on their operations in Afghanistan.

AFP India opposes Israeli plan to expel Arafat
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Notwithstand- ing Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s landmark vis- it to India earlier this week, New Delhi on Friday said it ‘‘disapproved’’ of any move by Tel Aviv to expel Palestin- ian leader Yasser Arafat from the region. ‘‘We disapprove of this plan,’’ said the external af- fairs ministry spokesperson. Israel’s security cabinet on Thursday had approved ‘‘in principle’’ the forcible expul- sion of Arafat, blaming him for being an ‘‘absolute obsta- cle to all attempts’’. Faced with criticism from several nations, including the US, Is- rael now seems to have de- ferred such plans. Sharon was forced to cut short his visit to India due to escalation in violence in Is- rael and the retaliation by Is- raeli fighter jets. While strengthening bilat- eral relations with Israel, In- dia has made it clear that there is no dilution in its American commandos take part in a joint military exercise in stand on the Palestinian the Ladakh region on Friday. cause.

AFP A licence to go online? New York: A virus fouls your com- puter and you haplessly pass it on. Ad- vertising software loads stealthily on your machine. Your password gets stolen because of your neglect. Or the music industry sues you because of something your kids or grandkids did on your computer. Though many of these threats are preventable, relatively few of us take the necessary precautions. So why not institute mandatory ed- ucation before people can go online? After all, motorists must obtain li- censes before they can legally hit the road, and PC are more complex. ‘‘It could be a four-year college de- gree, a one-month course. It might be a good idea,’’ said Bruce Schneier, CTO for Counterpane Internet Secu- rity Inc. Or it might be a bad idea. ‘‘The downside is everybody you know won’t be able to have a comput- er anymore, and I like being able to send e-mail to friends,’’ Schneier said. Minimum competency require- ments could include schooling in how to update anti-virus programs, install firewalls and obtain security fixes for your computer’s operating system. They could include a primer on copyright law and tips on configuring file-swapping programs to avoid the sharing that prompted nearly 300 fed- eral lawsuits this week. They could become smarter about creating pass- words and more cautious about using them at public terminals, where crim- inals have been known to harvest them with keystroke-logging soft- ware. Some institutes are already be- ing didactic about safe computing. Students requesting computer ac- counts at the University of Texas at Austin must attend a 45-minute work- shop that covers copyright, security, password protection and other issues. Meanwhile, Oberlin College in Ohio threatens $25 fines on students who inadvertently spread a virus. Alas, mandatory education and li- censing are easier said than done. And, many users ignore such ef- forts. It’s clear such habits won’t nec- essarily change if we require licenses and expect minimum skills. After all, licensed motorists still speed and ig- nore stop signs. AP

AFP Iraq head back to ‘hell’ Karslruhe: The Iraq national team are packing their bags and returning home to Baghdad on Saturday after a three-week training camp in Bavaria. The trip has proved a welcome if temporary respite from the hardships and dangers of life in post-war Iraq. It also supplied German coach Bernd Stange's team with the novel experience of actually playing competitive foot- ball. "Normally you get 50,000 fans turning up at a game in Iraq but with so many people carrying arms it's im- possible to stage matches at the moment," Stange said. On their arrival last month the former East German manager set out one simple objective, saying: "We have come from hell in Baghdad. We want to forget that and play football." And the experience has proved invaluable. Team man- ager Ali Ahmed Mohammed explained: "This is the first time the players have been able to play freely." A far cry then from the time when the team received a chilling mes- sage of encouragement from Uday Hussein, Saddam's late son, ahead of a 2002 World Cup qualifier.

Perez and Real had spent months denying their intention of land- ing the midfielder and Perez said it was only when it became clear Manchester United were ready to sell and that they learned the player also wanted to come to Madrid that they jumped in. "I hadn't spoken to Beckham beforehand. People told me Beckham was for sale and that the only club he wanted to leave Manchester for was Real Madrid," Perez said "We entered negoti- ations with Manchester and reached an agree- ment in two days.
