Ukraine oligarchs get key posts in bid for unity

In this photo taken in Feb. 26, 2010, Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoyskiy, center, plays soccer in Kiev, Ukraine. For years, Ukraine’s business tycoons have challenged the central authorities in Kiev, fighting, plotting and scheming to enlarge and maintain their multimillion-dollar empires.

By Mehreen Zahra-Malik ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan could launch a full-scale military operation against Pakistani Taliban insurgents in the tribal areas near the Afghan border as early as this month, the defense minister said, warning insurgents against violating a ceasefire. Dashing chances of a peace deal with the Pakistani Taliban, gunmen burst into a courtroom in Islamabad on Monday, killing 11 people in a broad daylight attack in the heart of the heavily guarded capital. The Pakistani Taliban denied any role in the assault and a splinter group accepted responsibility. ...
