ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan's Taliban movementthreatened yesterday to attack Indian targets to avengethe country's execution of Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, thelone survivor of the militant squad responsible for a ram-page through Mumbai that killed 166 people in 2008.

Kasab was hanged on Wednesday amid great se-crecy, underscoring the political sensitivity of the No-vember 26, 2008, massacre, which still casts a pall overrelations between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan andIndia.

The sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai at-tacks was executed on November 21 to the relief of sur-vivors and victims' families, nearly four years after 166people died in the three-day rampage.

People set off fireworks and handed out sweets in In-dian cities. Some held up photos of Kasab with a ropenoose superimposed over his head.

WMO said.


RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) -Prosecutors opened an investi-gation on Wednesday into alle-gations by Guarani Indians incentral Brazil that their mainsource of water was deliber-ately poisoned by farmers.

The charges were made onbehalf of the local indigenousgroup by pressure group Sur-vival International, which saidthe affected stream was usedby the Ypo'i community fordrinking, bathing and cooking.

The stream is some 500kilometers (310 miles) fromCampo Grande, capital city ofMato Grosso do Sul state.

Prosecutors said in a state-ment that "if the contaminationof the drinking water is con-firmed, the perpetrators faceup to 15 years in prison."

Brazil's National IndianFoundation also said it waslooking into the case.

The Guarani used a cellphone to capture images of the

pollution, including video ofwhite foam that churned up fortwo days along a stretch of wa-terway, including a sectionwhere they have been campingin the Paranhos region.

Survival International saidthe natives are convinced thatthe water was poisoned as "adeliberate act and not an acci-dent."

The disputed land belongsto landowner Firmino Escobar,but part of the property hasbeen occupied by the Guaranisince 2010. Survival Interna-tional says the Indians claimthe territory as part of their an-cestral lands.

At the beginning of the oc-cupation the landlord cut offall access to water, food andmedical care, but a court or-dered that the natives shouldbe allowed to remain unim-peded on their small plot untilthe dispute is resolved.

"The aim is to put meaningback into the art of giving."

Except for the word "ori",meaning to fold, Origata bearsno relation to the paper-fold-ing craft of origami.

Since the 14th century,Keishosai Ogasawara's familyhave held the keys to the art aschiefs of protocol for the im-perial family, handing downits codes generation to gener-ation and -- in recent years --sharing them with the public.

She travelled from Tokyo towitness the opening of thepavilion, which was ceremoni-ally inaugurated by two Shintopriests.

"Origata is about puttingyour feelings into an object,"she explained to AFP, infi-nitely soft-spoken and clothedin a pale pink kimono. "Theknot represents the bond be-tween two people."

"In a world of email and in-stant communication, this isthe exact opposite," addedLarroumec.

PARIS (AFP) - What mattersat Christmas time is the spirit,right? For those yet to be con-vinced, a tiny Japanese pavil-ion in Paris offers to initiateWesterners to a 700-year-oldgift-giving ritual known asOrigata.

You could hardly be furtherfrom the push and shove of theholiday shopping season: thetiny wood-panelled cubicle inthe city's Latin Quarter is likea hybrid of concept store, artgallery and miniature temple.

Opened this month byJapanese businessman TakeshiSato together with a youngFrenchman, Joan Larroumec,the Miwa pavilion is billed asan exclusive members' club,offering a gateway to Japanesehigh culture.

"It's a business venture, butone that also aims to spreadknowledge of traditionalJapanese culture," explainedLarroumec. "It's a window

onto a side of Japan that is in-accessible to most people."

Chief among these customsis the Origata gift ritual,rooted in traditional Shintoculture, which has been prac-tised primarily for the Japan-ese imperial family since the14th century.

"It all starts with a tea cere-mony, using water exportedfrom Japan," Larroumec said.

"We listen to the person, tothe meaning they want theirgift to have, how they wantthe recipient to feel, and thenthere are a whole set of codesthat determine the way we

LOS ANGELES (AFP) -Hundreds of Evander Holy-field's ring mementoes are togo up for auction next week,even though the formerheavyweight world championobtained a court ruling exclud-ing 12 treasured items fromthe sale.

Darren Julien, presidentand chief executive of Julien'sauction house, said in a state-ment after a judge on Wednes-day temporarily blocked thesale that "We are confidentthat we will ultimately prevailwhen these frivolous claimsare actually decided on themerits, and once we havewon, we fully expect and in-tend to sell these few items ina future auction,"

According to a press re-lease issued in July, the auc-tion was originally slated toinclude robes and trunks wornby Holyfield for his 1996upset victory over Mike Tysonand gloves worn in Holyfield's1997 re-match with Tyson inwhich Tyson famously bitHolyfield's ear.

Holyfield sued to stop theauction earlier this month,saying he didn't give permis-sion to sell a majority of theitems.

Julien's has since sued aHolyfield's assistant who wastasked with confirming thehistory of each item and secur-ing Holyfield's approval for itssale.

LONDON (AFP) - Ricky Hat-ton has pledged to keep hisemotions in check when theBritish boxer makes his come-back against Ukraine's Vyach-eslav Senchenko on Saturday.

Hatton will be fighting forthe first time since May 2009when Manny Pacquiao handedhim the second defeat of hiscareer following a 2007 loss toFloyd Mayweather Jr.

The 34-year-old is adamanthe has learned from the mis-takes he made in both thosecontests and insists he willshow a more controlled ap-proach against former worldchampion Senchenko.

"I've spent so much timesulking about the Mayweatherdefeat and the Pacquiao de-feat. They were my twobiggest fights and I messedup," Hatton said.

"I was too aggressive, tooover eager. If I make that mis-take all over again then I'm notthe fighter I think I am."

Hatton spent the three yearssince his last fight in turmoilas he battled with spiralling

weight, drink and drugs prob-lems and depression that lefthim on the verge of suicide.

But he has got back downto a fighting weight and a sell-out crowd hope to see the vic-torious return of the local heroat Manchester Arena thisweekend.

"It will be a very emotionalnight for me. The ring walk, ifyou talk to most fighters, it'swhere you get your nerves to-gether, you start thinkingabout your family and yourkids, what you've gonethrough to get to this point,"he said.

"Life has kicked my arse.I've got so much tension andanger inside me that I want tothrow at Senchenko but I can'tthrow it at him like I didagainst Manny Pacquaio. It'sgot to be to the game plan andin a positive manner.

"If I'm the champion I be-lieve I am, it won't be a prob-lem holding it all together.Although they might need amop and bucket when I'mleaving the ring."

DUBAI (AFP) - All it tookwas 18 holes for the cream torise to the top as world No.2Luke Donald took a one-shotlead over world No.1 RoryMcIlroy after the openinground of the $8million DPWorld Tour Championship onThursday.

At the Earth course ofJumeirah Golf Estates, Eng-land's Donald shot a bogey-free round of seven-under par65, while McIlroy could havejoined him on the top but hadto be satisfied with a par on thepar-5 final hole after hitting histee shot into the water.

That left McIlroy, who hasalready won the EuropeanTour's Race to Dubai crown bytaking an unassailable lead ontop of the Money List, at six-under par 66 and tied for sec-

Donald, who won lastweek's Dunlop Phoenix Openon Japan Golf Tour, was de-lighted to carry on his formfrom there. After making aneight-footer on the first and a15-footer on the fourth to savepars, he unleashed sevenbirdies in a stretch of 10 holes.

"Definitely, the feeling wasa different one today on thefirst tee. There was a lot atstake for me last year, so obvi-ously, I felt the pressure," saidDonald, who had shot succes-sive rounds of 66 over theweekend to finish third here in2011.
