MUMBAI: SaharaOne Television‘s Biggest Loser Jeetega enters its eighth week on July 6, 2007.

MUMBAI: 52 commuters were killed and London was in shock after the deadliest attack on British soil since World War II.Three of the four suicide bombers were British-born and of Pakistani origin.

In CNN?s Pakistan: The Threat Within, Nic Robertson tracks the footsteps of one of the bombers from the UK to Pakistan and uncovers how groups in Pakistan have become support centers for terrorists. Along with another of the bombers, 22-year old Shehzad Tanweer visited Pakistan months before the suicide attacks in July 2005.

After 9/11 Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was quick to sign up as an ally in President Bush?s war on terror. Now Musharraf appears to be involved in a near impossible juggling act ? trying to combat terrorism while not appearing to Pakistanis to be a creature of the West.

Twelve months after the bombing Al-Qaeda released Tanweer?s suicide message. It included words from Ayman al Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda?s number two, and revealed that Tanweer not only attended a madrassa ? a religious school - but also an Al-Qaeda training camp where he was tutored in terror and sent back to Britain to complete his mission.

The evidence is that Al-Qaeda is alive and well and recruiting in Pakistani madrassas, which attract hundreds of thousands of children each year.

This worries former Pakistani police officer and current Harvard fellow Hassan Abbas who said that ?According to all accounts, about 10 to 15 per cent of madrassas in Pakistan are involved in militancy, support of the Taliban, terrorism and religious extremism.?

After the London bombings then British Prime Minister Tony Blair called on President Musharraf to crack down on the militant madrassas. But Pakistan?s former Interior Minister Aitazes Ahsan tells CNN it was ?an entirely half-hearted initiative, one step forward and a step back.?

One of Musharraf?s steps was to send troops to Mullah Abdul Rashid Ghazi?s madrassas in the Pakistani capital. Ghazi told CNN: ?It was just to please [America]?please Blair. He?s an agent of the United States?he is doing all kind of things against the Pakistanis just to please America. Although with the passage of time, I have realized that he is not sincere to even America.?

Ghazi is not the only one who believes that Musharraf is playing both sides in the war on terror with the apparent aim of staying in power. Ahsan also told CNN that ?When [Musharraf] goes to the United States he convinces the Americans there that if I do not remain the mullahs will take over. And he comes back to Pakistan and he convinces the mullahs that if I do not remain then the Americans will come and take over.?

MUMBAI: Milan Thakur, the eldest of the three kids who ran away from Begusarai (near Patna) to be part of Indian Idol, was recently back in the city with his parents this time.Invited to be a guest on the show, Milan was happy and excited at the prospect of meeting the contestants of Indian Idol. The lean and lanky fourteen year old Milan looked shy and a bit embarrassed too as he sat giving his first ever interview.

"I love music and singing and wanted to take part in Indian Idol, that is why I did what I did," he confesses. "With the forty thousand that I took from home, my two young friends and me booked train tickets to Mumbai. Once in the city, a man who befriended us on the train helped us get rooms in Ashray a city hotel for Rs 400 a day. Once the money was over, we began roaming the streets and even slept at railway platforms. Confident and unafraid of any untoward incident happening to the trio, he said," I was very careful. When the gentleman asked us to accompany him to Delhi I refused the offer," he said firmly. Said the relieved father, "My main worry was that the children should not fall into the wrong hands." But his pretty mother says had she known of his love for music she would definitely have done something about it. One thing is for sure Milan is going to get some music lessons. Different from the kind of music he faced when he got back home!

A word of caution: Not everybody who runs away from home has the kind of good luck that Milan and his friends had.

Moral of the story: Running away from home does not always end in a musical journey!
