bust Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Anyone see a problem with this? Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he would seal a civil nuclear deal to sell uranium to India on Friday, offering to ramp up supplies of energy to help the emerging Asian giant overcome chronic shortages. Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Abbott with full state honours during his two-day visit to India. The two leaders were due to hold formal talks later and sign the deal to sell uranium for peaceful power generation. "Prime Minister Modi and I will today sign a nuclear cooperation agreement," Abbott told business leaders. In an editorial published in The Hindu he said the two sides had concluded the nuclear talks, which began about two years ago after Australia lifted a long-standing ban on selling uranium to energy-starved India. "My hope is we can become (a) reliable source of energy resources and food security for India," Abbott said. Prior to the meeting hosted by business lobbyists ASSOCHAM, the group said India should make use of Abbott's visit to seek more coal imports at a time when Indian thermal power stations are running critically short of the fuel. New Delhi; India: India ordered several provinces on Thursday to be on increased alert after al Qaeda announced the formation of a wing of the militant group in India and its neighborhood, a senior government official said. In a video posted online, al Qaeda chief Ayman al Zawahri promised to spread Islamic rule and "raise the flag of jihad" across the "Indian subcontinent". The government believes it is authentic and has warned local governments, said an official who attended a security briefing in which the video was discussed with the home (interior) minister. "This matter has been taken very seriously," the official told Reuters. "An alert has been sounded." Indian security forces are usually on a state of alert for attacks by home-grown Islamic militants and by anti-India groups based in Pakistan. It was not immediately clear what additional steps were being taken. Until now there has been no evidence that al Qaeda has a presence in India. The timing and content of the video suggests rivalry between al Qaeda and its more vigorous rival in Syria and Iraq, Islamic State, which anecdotal evidence suggests is gathering support in South Asia. According to media reports, Islamic State pamphlets have been distributed in Pakistan in recent days. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/?articleID=2000133907&story_title=australia-s-abbott-offers-uranium-coal-to-energy-starved-india http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/?articleID=2000133762&story_title=indian-states-on-alert-after-al-qaeda-announces-local-wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasathai1 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 selling nuclear materials to a country where the majority of the population still craps down a hole in the ground is never a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baa99 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I thought the big problem in India was that few are paying for their electric power! Thus no private firms will invest in a, guaranteed to lose money, power plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unit731 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Someone posts a serious issue about nuclear resources. And then this posting reverts to toilets in India or the lack thereof. Are some on this forum insane or just out of touch with reality? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
