(Zeeshan janwal)The Supreme Court initiated contempt proceedings against him for failing to ask Swiss officials to reopen the case against President Asif Ali Zardari. Mr Gilani's lawyer hinted on Wednesday that a written request might yet be sent to Switzerland. If found guilty of contempt he could be banned from holding public office. Mr Gilani's embattled government is currently embroiled in disputes with the judiciary and also with Pakistan's powerful armed forces. Mr Gilani has long refused to write the letter to Swiss authorities, arguing that President Zardari has immunity from prosecution while in office. However, his lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan indicated on Wednesday that the prime minister might reverse that stance. "There is no harm in writing a letter to the Swiss authorities," he said. "The president has complete immunity against criminal procedures in the courts." He added: "I don't think the prime minister has committed contempt of court by not writing the letter. Through my arguments I will try to convince the court that the prime minister is not guilty of contempt." Money laundering Mr Zardari and his late wife, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, were found guilty in absentia by a Swiss court in 2003 of laundering millions of dollars in kickbacks from Swiss firms while they were in government. They appealed and Swiss officials dropped the case in 2008 at the request of the Pakistani government. The case was one of thousands dropped as a result of an amnesty <b>...</b>

And earlier in the week, the military was involved in joint exercises with the Italian air force near Sardinia. Israel says the timing of these operations is a coincidence, but with the International Atomic Energy Agency about to release a new report on Iran's nuclear capabilities next week, some have speculated that Israel may be considering a strike against Iran.
