Pakistan’s only Nobel laureate Abbas Salam, co winner of 1979 for the Standard Model, helped predict the Higgs boson but is largely shunned at home due to his Ahmadi faith. His legacy is fading as Islamic extremism grows, with Salam’s name removed from school texts while rival Khan is celebrated.

Libyas first nationwide elections in nearly five decades raised expectations of Western-leaning parties gaining ground over Islamist rivals. Unofficial partial counts suggested liberals gaining momentum, challenging the narrative of rising Islamist power after uprisings in Tunis and Cairo, while Libyan tribal loyalties and past cooperation with Gadhafi-era groups shape the political dynamic.

NATO Bomb Kills Six Service Members in Afghanistan
A Sunday blast in eastern Afghanistan killed six NATO service members, with a wider toll of 29 dead from bombs and insurgent attacks that day. NATO cited an improvised explosive device and deferred to national authorities for details. The clash came as Taliban activity rose in the summer, following territorial gains by coalition forces earlier. Afghan authorities reported 16 civilian deaths in Kandahar’s Arghistan district from three blasts, plus casualties among police and civilians elsewhere, highlighting ongoing violence and civilian harm in the conflict.
