  • Top-Ranked Heavyweights Battle at Fs1 Ufc Fight Night: Barnett Vs
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015 TOP-RANKED HEAVYWEIGHTS BATTLE AT FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BARNETT VS. NELSON ON SATURDAY NIGHT No. 8 Ranked Middleweight Michael Bisping and Brian Stann Serve as Analysts LOS ANGELES – UFC heavyweights take center stage at FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT live on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Sept. 26 (10:00 PM ET) when perennial contender and current No. 11 Roy “Big Country” Nelson (21-11) looks for another big finish against former UFC heavyweight champion and current No. 8 Josh “The Warmaster” Barnett (33-7). With his past 10 wins coming by knockout, THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER season 10 winner Nelson has dynamite in his fists. When he meets Barnett, though, he squares off against a motivated contender eager to impress in his first fight back in Japan in more than five years. “These are two very technical heavyweights,” says FOX UFC analyst Brian Stann. “Roy Nelson has massive power in his hands, but people forget he’s also a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Barnett is also a black belt and is known for his amazing grappling. This is going to be a very big and heavy chess match. They both go into fights to please the fans and put on a performance.” Also featured on the main card is an exciting middleweight battle between No. 6 ranked Gegard Mousasi (37-5-2) vs. THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER season 17 finalist Uriah Hall (12-5). Top- ranked flyweights No. 7 Kyoji Horiguchi (15-1) and No. 13 Chico Camus (14-6, 1NC) look to move up the standings, while No.

  • Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’S Posture Toward Afghanistan Since 2001
    Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’s Posture toward Afghanistan since 2001 Since the terrorist at- tacks of September 11, 2001, Pakistan has pursued a seemingly incongruous course of action in Afghanistan. It has participated in the U.S. and interna- tional intervention in Afghanistan both by allying itself with the military cam- paign against the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaida and by serving as the primary transit route for international military forces and matériel into Afghanistan.1 At the same time, the Pakistani security establishment has permitted much of the Afghan Taliban’s political leadership and many of its military command- ers to visit or reside in Pakistani urban centers. Why has Pakistan adopted this posture of Afghan Taliban accommodation despite its nominal participa- tion in the Afghanistan intervention and its public commitment to peace and stability in Afghanistan?2 This incongruence is all the more puzzling in light of the expansion of insurgent violence directed against Islamabad by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a coalition of militant organizations that are independent of the Afghan Taliban but that nonetheless possess social and po- litical links with Afghan cadres of the Taliban movement. With violence against Pakistan growing increasingly indiscriminate and costly, it remains un- clear why Islamabad has opted to accommodate the Afghan Taliban through- out the post-2001 period. Despite a considerable body of academic and journalistic literature on Pakistan’s relationship with Afghanistan since 2001, the subject of Pakistani accommodation of the Afghan Taliban remains largely unaddressed. Much of the existing literature identiªes Pakistan’s security competition with India as the exclusive or predominant driver of Pakistani policy vis-à-vis the Afghan Khalid Homayun Nadiri is a Ph.D.

TEAM PENN Follows Fights on FOX Sports 1 LOS ANGELES, CA – Two seasons of THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER® converge on FOX Sports 1 on Wednesday, April 16, when UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: BISPING VS. KENNEDY features THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER NATIONS welterweight and middleweight finals, the coaches’ fight and an exciting headliner between No. 5-ranked middleweight Michael Bisping (25-5) and No. 8- ranked Tim Kennedy (17-4). FOX Sports 1 carries the preliminary bouts beginning at 5:00 PM ET, followed by the main card at 7:00 PM ET from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Immediately following UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BISPING VS. KENNEDY is the two-hour season premiere of THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER®: TEAM EDGAR vs. TEAM PENN (10:00 PM ET), highlighting 16 middleweights and 16 light heavyweights battling for a spot on the team of either former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar or two-division champion BJ Penn. UFC on FOX analyst Brian Stann believes the headliner between Bisping and Kennedy is a toss-up. “Kennedy has one of the best top games in mixed martial arts and he’s showcased his knockout power in his last fight against Rafael Natal. Bisping is one of the best all-around mixed martial artists in the middleweight division. Every time people start to count him out, he comes in and wins fights.” In addition to the main event between Bisping and Kennedy, UFC FIGHT NIGHT consists of 12 more thrilling matchups including THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER NATIONS Team Canada coach Patrick Cote (20-8) and Team Australia coach Kyle Noke (20-6-1) in an exciting welterweight bout.

  • Interview with Top Taliban Leaders (NHK) 1
    Annex I 1 Interview with Top Taliban Leaders (NHK) Some parts of the interview were broadcasted in Today’s Close-Up on September 6, 2012, in Japan and September 11, 2012, on NHK WORLD TV in English. Sohail Shaheen, member of Taliban Negotiation Team in Qatar Syed Rasool, member of Taliban Negotiation Team in Qatar Interview with S ohailS haheen NHK : How many members of the political office of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan are talking to United States? SOHAIL SHAHEEN : When there are talks or meeting with the politi- cal office, they decide how many members will take part in the talks and according to that decision members of the political office participate in the talks but this occurred before the suspension of the talks. But now there is no contact between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States of America. There were confidence building measures which reached an understanding but they weren’t implemented because the talks were sus- pended and postponed. So, there are now no meetings and talks. NHK : Why were they suspended? SOHAIL SHAHEEN : It was because of the confidence building measures. We had meetings with the Americans, several meetings, and at the end of those meetings, we came to an understanding that the American side should take steps regarding confidence building measures like the opening of the office and also exchange of the prisoners and also delisting. But we have bypassed the delisting. To show a sign of flexibility we have bypassed it but two conditions are still there – exchange of prisoners and also the open- ing of the office.
