The most senior American military officer Admiral Mike Mullen says the militant 1 Haqqani group, which has carried out a series of recent attacks in Afghanistan, is an arm of Pakistan's intelligence service.

Pakistan has rejected the allegations. The BBC's Adam Brooks 2 says the Pentagon has been talking tough.

Scientists at the Cern laboratory in Geneva say they've measured subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light - a result that appears to contradict one of the fundamental laws of physics. The speeds were detected in neutrinos fired from Geneva to another laboratory 700km away. The researchers admit they are baffled by the result and have asked others to independently verify their measurements. If confirmed, the discovery would overturn part of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.


日内瓦欧洲核子研究委员会(Cern)实验室科学家表示,他们测量到亚原子颗粒的运行速度超过光速——这似乎与物理学基本定律相冲突。该速度是从日内瓦发往700千米外的另外一个实验室的微中子中检测到的。研究人员承认,他们对该结果感到困惑,已经要求其他人独立地检测他们的测量结果。如果得到证实,该发现将推翻爱因斯坦相对论的部分内容。
