  • Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, Northern Pakistan

    Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, Northern Pakistan

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael D. Hylland for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on May 3. 1990 Title: Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills. Northern Pakistan Abstract approved: RobeS. Yeats The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable Proterozoic age, consisting of a thick basal argillaceous sequence (Manki Formation) overlain by algal limestone and shale (Shahkot, Utch Khattak, and Shekhai formations). These strata are intruded by diabase dikes and sills that may correlate with the Panjal Volcanics. Southern Gandghar Range strata occur in two structural blocks juxtaposed along the Baghdarra fault. The hanging wall consists entirely of isoclinally-folded Manki Formation, whereas the footwall consists of the complete Manki-Shekhai succession which has been deformed into tight, northeast-plunging, generally southeast (foreland) verging disharmonic folds. Phyllite near the Baghdarra fault displays kink bands, a poorly-developed S-C fabric, and asymmetric deformation of foliation around garnet porphyroblasts. These features are consistent with conditions of dextral shear, indicating reverse-slip displacement along the fault. South of the Gandghar Range, the Panjal fault brings the Gandghar Range succession over the Kherimar Hills succession, which is composed of a basal Precambrian arenaceous sequence (Hazara Formation) unconformably overlain by Jurassic limestone (Samana Suk Formation) which in turn is unconformably overlain by Paleogene marine strata (Lockhart Limestone and Patala Formation).

    US-Pakistan Counter-Terrorism Cooperation: Dynamics and Challenges Shanthie D’Souza Abstract Pakistan Is a Frontline Ally of the US in Its Global War on Terrorism

    US-Pakistan Counter-Terrorism Cooperation: Dynamics and Challenges Shanthie D’Souza Abstract Pakistan is a frontline ally of the US in its Global War on Terrorism. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the military regime was compelled by Washington to join the US effort to dismantle the Taliban-Al Qaida terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan and Pakistan that successive regimes had nurtured. While the Pakistani military regime’s cooperation is deemed to be crucial for the success of the US counter-terrorism strategy, there appear to be growing strains and challenges that give rise to fundamental questions about the outcome of such cooperation. This is clearly seen in the revival of the Taliban and the continuing activities of terrorist and militant groups based in Pakistan, the increasing anti-American backlash among segments of the Pakistani and Afghan populations, and the electoral gains made by the Islamist parties in Pakistan. The US-Pakistan counter-terrorism efforts clearly suffer from myriad shortcomings. Alternative approaches by the United States that move beyond engaging the Pakistani military alone and focus on the civilian sector are necessary if the goals of counter-terrorism are to be achieved in the region. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 attacks on the United States, Pakistan emerged as a ‘crucial partner’ in the United States-led Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Given Pakistan’s geo-strategic position, its strong linkages with the Taliban, and the presence of dozens of armed militant Islamic groups in the country it was called upon to play `an important’ role in destroying the operational capabilities of the Taliban-Al Qaida combine – a situational turnaround in US-Pakistan relations from what prevailed through the 1990s.
