Zarrar Shah
Zarrar Shah is one of Lashkar-e-Taiba's primary liaisons to the ISI and its communications chief. According to ''The New York Times'', Shah is "a senior Lashkar commander" and "a central character" behind the plot of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. Fox News reported that Shah communicated with gunmen over the telephone and helped direct their activities as he watched the events unfold on television. On 10 December 2008, Pakistan announced the arrest of Shah for his role in the Mumbai attacks.

Interactive Journalism
Interactive journalism is a new type of journalism that allows consumers to directly contribute to the story. Through Web 2.0 technology, reporters can develop a conversation with the audience. The digital age has changed how people collect information. News from print newspapers, once the only source for news, have seen declines in circulation as people get news on the Internet. Background As more people have moved from consuming news through traditional outlets—such as newspapers and broadcast news—, the barely surviving traditional news entities have aimed at transforming their reporting process to respond to the desires and needs of the 21st Century news consumers. This inevitable change of reporting techniques is based on a universal question: mainly, “If journalism is distributed in a community but no one pays attention to it, is it journalism? Can journalism exist without an audience?” In an attempt to continue exercising their role as communicators, many traditional m ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
