This time Non-Taliban, non Pushtun, Farsi speaking Tajik Afghan Muslims are massacred by the drug-addicted, trigger-happy occupation army of the U.S. Victims crime- they cried, ³MORGBAD AMRIKA²AMRIKA NAJIS AASTH²- (death to America, America is shit, Americans out of Afghanistan) .Eyewitness said, drunk US army drove over the civilian vehicles during the morning rush hours Afghans were driving smashing 16 of them killing the occupants as if they were not human being. After the aggrieved Afghan Muslims pelted US army vehicle with stone and shouted the slogan, drunk and panicky U.S soldiers started firing at them and killed nearly 29 of the protesting crowds. Later on anti-American protest spread over whole of the city of Kabul. Buildings, post office, cars, offices were set on fire, stores looted, by the angry Afghan. They burnt American and British flags. Some danced in the street with long sword shouting anti American and anti British slogans. U.S. Army went inside their base and locked up the premises. NATO helicopters appeared on Kabul sky but luckily did not fire any missiles to the crowd on the ground. Earlier American General denied everything. Later on when the crowd gathered again and demanded American Puppet Karzai¹s resignation the American General apologised for ³Any mistake² and expressed regret for the loss of Afghan lives. Seven days ago, trigger happy U.S. Soldiers bombed the village of Afghanistan in the South and massacred men, women and children saying that the Talibans were hiding behind the civilians. A deliberate lie. During Afghan Mujaheden¹s long jihad first against the Communist soviet, now against the Zionist Axis they never adopted the ploy of hiding behind the women and children. This is against the teaching of Islam. But shamelessly both the US and UK authorities were reciting this Zionist coined Mantra parrot fashion==== 18 Muslims killed in Kabul in Anti-American rioting Demonstrators throw stones at military vehicle in Kabul. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) 29 May, 2006-- A deadly traffic accident Monday involving U.S. troops sparked the worst riot in the Afghan capital since the fall of the Taliban. At least eight people were killed and 107 injured, an official said. Hundreds of Afghan army and NATO troops in tanks deployed around the city, as protesters chanting "Death to America" marched on the presidential palace and rioters smashed police guard boxes and set fire to police cars. Rioters ransacked several buildings, including a compound belonging to the aid group CARE International. Computers were set on fire and smoke billowed from the buildings. A spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition expressed regret for any deaths and injuries, and said there would be an investigation. Abdullah Fahim, a Health Ministry spokesman, said no foreigners were among the wounded or dead. He had no details on how the casualties occurred, and it wasn't immediately clear if the toll included people from the traffic accident. The riot was the worst in Kabul since U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban in late 2001. It erupted in the city's northern suburbs before spreading into the city center and then to other areas frequented by foreigners, including areas near U.S. and NATO bases. The unrest started after three U.S. Humvees coming into the city from the outskirts rammed into a rush-hour traffic jam, hitting several civilian cars, witnesses said. The coalition said at least one person was killed and six injured in the crash, but police said at least three people were killed and 16 injured.A Kabul police chief, Sher Shah Usafi, said another person was killed when U.S. troops fired into a crowd of stone-throwing protesters soon after the crash.Col. Thomas Collins, an American spokesman, confirmed there was gunfire at the scene, but said coalition personnel in one military vehicle only fired over the crowd. He said a large cargo truck in a coalition convoy had suffered a mechanical failure and hit as many as 12 civilian vehicles at a busy intersection. He said the coalition was investigating. "This was a tragic incident and we deeply regret any deaths or injuries resulting from this incident," Collins said in a statement. "We will determine the facts regarding the incident and cooperate fully with Afghan authorities." Afghans often complain about what they call the aggressive driving tactics of the U.S. military. Convoys often pass through crowded areas at high speed and sometimes disregard road rules. The U.S. military says such tactics are necessary to protect the troops from attack."Today's demonstration is because Americans killed innocent people. We will not stop until foreigners leave the city. We are looking for foreigners to kill," one protester in his late 20s, Gulam Ghaus, said near where rioters burned a police post. AP Television News video showed hundreds of angry young men hurling rocks at what appeared to be three U.S. military trucks and three dun-colored Humvees as they sped from the area after the crash, their windscreens cracked by the stones. A machine gun mounted on one of the Humvees fired into the air over the crowd as the vehicle sped away.The riot continued for hours into the afternoon. AP reporters heard several 20-second bursts of heavy automatic gunfire coming from the direction of the U.S. Embassy. It subsided but gunfire was then heard sporadically.Staff at the U.S. Embassy were moved to a secure location within the heavily fortified building, said Chris Harris, an embassy spokesman. He had no immediate information on the reported gunfire.In other areas, rioters broke into shops and stole household items. There were unconfirmed reports from protesters that rioters also smashed windows at the five-star Serena Hotel in the city center, popular with foreign visitors. An AP Television News cameraman and an AP reporter were beaten by protesters but not hurt.Riots targeting foreigners have broken out before in Kabul, including during the furor early this year over cartoons published in European newspapers of the Prophet Muhammad. Also, last year, a magazine report that U.S. interrogators had sullied Islam's holy book at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay sparked anti-U.S. demonstrations around Afghanistan. In each case, about a dozen people died in the unrest nationwide== ³Friendly² Basra killed two more UK soldiers Staff and agencies: The Guardian: Monday May 29, 2006 : Two British soldiers have been killed in a roadside bomb attack in Basra, the Ministry of Defence said today. The soldiers, from the Queen's Dragoon Guards, were killed as they took part in a routine patrol in support of operations intended to disrupt militant activities. Their deaths took the British toll in Iraq to 113. Two soldiers were injured in the blast, which happened at 10pm local time (1900 BST) in the Gizaya area of Iraq's second-largest city. Initial reports said three had been wounded, one seriously. The attack came a day after British troops seized what they said was their largest-ever cache of weapons. In a seperate attack, two British CBS journalists and a US correspondent were seriously injured when their convoy was struck by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, the network said today. A US army captain and an Iraqi interpreter also died. Cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and 42-year-old soundman James Brolan, both from London, died and correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was seriously injured. A CBS statement said the journalists had been reporting from outside their Humvee vehicle and were believed to have been wearing their protective gear. They were on patrol with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm that two British journalists working as part of the CBS news crew were killed in an attack on a convoy in Baghdad this morning." Elsewhere in Iraq, a roadside bomb ripped through a bus near Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, killing 10 people. The victims had been working at the Ashraf base of the Mujahedeen Khalk, or MEK, which opposes the Iranian regime, police said. The MEK, made up of Iranian dissidents living in Iraq, said the dead were Iraqi workers who had been heading to their camp. Twelve people were injured in the explosion. In another incident, a bomb planted in a parked minivan killed at least seven and injured around 20 when it went off at the entrance to an open-air market in the northern Baghdad suburb of Kazimiya. Shootings and bombings across Iraq killed nine people and wounded 35 across the country yesterday. The bodies of at least 10 more people, possible victims of Iraq's increasing sectarian violence, were found in Baghdad. In a politically significant killing, Sheik Osama al-Jadaan was ambushed by gunmen as he was driven through Baghdad's predominantly Sunni Mansour district. His driver and one of his bodyguards were also killed. Mr al-Jadaan was a leader of the Karabila tribe, which has thousands of members in Anbar province, an insurgent hotbed stretching from west of Baghdad to the Syrian border. He had agreed to help security forces track down al-Qaida members and foreign fighters. 2 CBS News staff, U.S. soldier killed in Iraq blast May 29, 2006 : BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Four people, including a U.S. soldier and two members of a CBS News crew, were killed Monday when a bomb ripped through the U.S. military convoy in which they were traveling. CBS said cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, who was based in London, and sound tech James Brolan, 42, were killed in the blast. The U.S. military said a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi contractor also were killed in the attack on their convoy. Six U.S. soldiers and CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier were wounded in the attack, the military said.=== The truth about the Palestinian conflict By- Archie Augustine The West allowed the ³legalized² theft and occupation of a portion of Palestine now named ³Israel², and then retained a backyard without any legal status so that it could annex just as much land as it could, leaving a few acres to the so called Palestinians. The only reason ³Israel² would not annex the entire area is because they would firstly have to introduce a true democracy and lose power. The second reason is that slow as the process may be, it is bent on genocide. Peace is just not on the Israeli agenda. From Arafat to Hamas the message is clear: if Israel withdraws from its military and settlement occupation from the ³remainder² of Palestine and allows the refugees to return, the major issues are sealed. Europe, the UN and the infamous Coalition know this. So the millions of words and rational thinking that goes into sound argument for peaceful resolution is a wasted exercise. The Hamas position is simply what all right-minded people want. Resistance to the occupation may well appear to be counter-productive, encouraging further Israeli attacks. This is not necessarily true. The so-called peace process would not move an inch in a hundred years if the armed resistance stopped. Great grandchildren would spawn in the settlements while the children of refugees resign themselves to the ruins of their camps. The historic revulsion at the creation of ³Israel² suggests that any right-thinking Zionist would have been pleased with Arafat¹s recognition of Israel and the two-state solution. Partition. This is what is acceptable to the Palestinians. It seems that all of us understand this except the big powers. Obviously they are not idiotic. So just what is the problem? None of them want a two-state solution just yet or not at all. The thinking is linked to the Serbian massacre of Muslims and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. If the Iraq invasion had gone as wishfully believed by the Coalition, then other countries would have been on the cards. Bush, the leader of the pack, had five years to sweep these areas. Even a democrat would have been pleased to take over the spit and polish thereafter. Milosevic was being prosecuted by the very hypocrites who were busy killing Muslims while their Serbian counterpart was on trial. The Western syndicate backs the apparent Zionist agenda. The so-called ³Zionist² movement is not a Jewish movement. It is a propaganda front. Take a look at the U.S. regimes, British regimes and the European regimes. The French president hollers at Iran but he does not holler at Israel. These regimes have hijacked the original Zionist agenda. I have read the report of MRN on the experiences of the WCC in Palestine. I am surprised that the Lutheran representative declared that the catastrophe in Palestine was ³political². No. It is about good and evil. Hamas is contending with European, British, Russian, U.S., and Israeli evil. That is Church business! The WCC must go back to its people and seek a true expression of Christianity through protest and the ballot boxes. We need regime changes in the West. The WCC can only go back to its people if it issues instructions to its churches on the ground to direct its members to vote and protest in terms of religious conscience against the political agendas of its political leaders. It is time to enter the arena and not hover above it. Politics and the human rights of people are the business of churches and all religious bodies. The human condition is a godly issue. The arena is not Palestine; and walking Palestinian children to school is not the solution. We must clean out the roaches from our own countries so that the Palestinian children can walk in peace and alone in the whole of the true Palestine. ³Israel², if indeed it had legal tenure, has forfeited that right by its actions and intent. Its territorial ³grant² should be revoked. But is ³Israel² leading the West or is the West leading ³Israel²? Was ³Israel² created for the Jews or for the West? Has ³Israel² long lost its independence of the U.S. and the West? Was it ever the master of its own destiny? Does it owe its soul to the devils that created it? Is ³Israel² the dog or just the tail? Any hideous and brutal political policy can be forced to a halt. We need to heave and push with a militant resistance for peace. We must be objectively honest in our approach to the issues. We must first identify the true criminals, the masterminds. We who are not in ³Israel² are perhaps living in the lands of the masterminds behind the suppression of the Palestinians. If the European, British, Russian, and U.S. citizens change their regimes, every Palestinian and Jew will be free again. In the meantime, the democratically elected government of a state in waiting should remain in waiting for the just return of the true and unitary state of the Original Palestine -- even if for the sake of peace, we call it ³New Israel². The Hamas standoff is legitimate. The other option is to surrender to the occupation and ask Bush to demand a democratic election. It won¹t work, however, if Hamas wins again in the Whole of Palestine! Sanctions and non-cooperation will follow, even if the Zionists starve. They won¹t, then, be worth a jot to the West!== Source Tehran Times, 29 May, 2006== The children of Guantanamo Bay The 'IoS' reveals today that more than 60 of the detainees of the US camp were under 18 at the time of their capture, some as young as 14 By Severin Carrell Independent: London: 28 May, 2006: The notorious US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay has been hit by fresh allegations of human rights abuses, with claims that dozens of children were sent there - some as young as 14 years old. Lawyers in London estimate that more than 60 detainees held at the terrorists' prison camp were boys under 18 when they were captured. They include at least 10 detainees still held at the US base in Cuba who were 14 or 15 when they were seized - including child soldiers who were held in solitary confinement, repeatedly interrogated and allegedly tortured. The disclosures threaten to plunge the Bush administration into a fresh row with Britain, its closest ally in the war on terror, only days after the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, repeated his demands for the closure of the detention facility. It was, he said, a "symbol of injustice". Whitehall sources said the new allegations, from the London-based legal rights group Reprieve, directly contradicted the Bush administration's assurances to the UK that no juveniles had been held there. "We would take a very, very dim view if it transpires that there were actually minors there," said an official. One child prisoner, Mohamed el Gharani, is accused of involvement in a 1998 al-Qa'ida plot in London led by the alleged al-Qa'ida leader in Europe, Abu Qatada. But he was 12 years old at the time and living with his parents in Saudi Arabia. After being arrested in Karachi in October 2001, aged 14, he has spent several years in solitary confinement as an alleged al-Qa'ida-trained fighter. One Canadian-born boy, Omar Khadr, was 15 when arrested in 2002 and has also been kept in solitary confinement. The son of a known al-Qa'ida commander, he is accused of killing a US soldier with a grenade in July 2002 and was placed top of the Bush administration's list of detainees facing prosecution. "It would surely be really quite stupid to allow the world to think you have teenagers in orange jumpsuits and shackles, spending 23 hours a day locked up in a cage," a source added. "If it's true that young people have been held there, their cases should be dealt with as a priority." British officials last night told the IoS that the UK had been assured that any juveniles would be held in a special facility for child detainees at Guantanamo called Camp Iguana. But the US admits only three inmates were ever treated as children - three young Afghans, one aged 13, who were released in 2004 after a furore over their detention. The row will again focus attention on the Bush administration's repeated claims that normal rules of war and human rights conventions do not apply to "enemy combatants" who were al-Qa'ida or Taliban fighters and supporters. The US insists these fighters did not have the same legal status as soldiers in uniform. Clive Stafford Smith, a legal director of Reprieve and lawyer for a number of detainees, said it broke every widely accepted legal convention on human rights to put children in the same prison as adults - including US law. "There is nothing wrong with trying minors for crimes, if they have committed crimes. The problem is when you either hold minors without trial in shocking conditions, or try them before a military commission that, in the words of a prosecutor who refused to take part, is rigged," he said. "Even if these kids were involved in fighting - and Omar is the only one who the military pretends was - then there is a UN convention against the use of child soldiers. There is a general recognition in the civilised world that children should be treated differently from adults." Because the detainees have been held in Cuba for four years, all the teenagers are now thought to have reached their 18th birthdays in Guantanamo Bay and some have since been released. The latest figures emerged after the Department of Defense (DoD) in Washington was forced to release the first ever list of Guantanamo detainees earlier this month. Although lawyers say it is riddled with errors - getting numerous names and dates of birth wrong - they were able to confirm that 17 detainees on the list were under 18 when taken to the camp, and another seven were probably juveniles. In addition, said Mr Stafford Smith, they had credible evidence from other detainees, lawyers and the International Red Cross that another 37 inmates were under 18 when they were seized. One detainee, an al-Jazeera journalist called Sami el Hajj, has identified 36 juveniles in Guantanamo. A senior Pentagon spokesman, Lt Commander Jeffrey Gordon, insisted that no one now being held at Guantanamo was a juvenile and said the DoD also rejected arguments that normal criminal law was relevant to the Guantanamo detainees. "There is no international standard concerning the age of an individual who engages in combat operations... Age is not a determining factor in detention. [of those] engaged in armed conflict against our forces or in support to those fighting against us."

According to privately owned Geo Television, unnamed Pakistani government sources had told ABC News of ³credible reports² that Osama bin Laden and his aides had moved into the Kumrat Valley in Kohistan district -- well inside Pakistani territory -- of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). The officials speaking to ABC News (which reported the leak late May 24) claimed the location had been determined from an intercepted phone call placed by bin Laden himself. Officials contacted by Geo Television denied that report on Thursday. Indeed, the one thing that can be confidently deduced about this leaked ³intelligence² is that it is blatantly false. For one thing, if Pakistani officials did have credible intelligence about bin Laden's location, the last place that information would surface would be in the American news media. The possibility of carrying out an operation based on such tactical information would be blown the second there was a leak to a reporter based in Washington, D.C. But beyond that, bin Laden would not be likely to hide out in the Kohistan district -- a sparsely populated, non-Pushtun region in far eastern NWFP. There, in close proximity to Shiite and Ismaili Muslims, he and his associates would be bereft of a viable support network. Bin Laden more likely would be found in an area with a sizeable Pushtun population where residents continue to show sympathy for al Qaeda's cause. We continue to believe that Error! Bookmark not defined. in the NWFP are his most probable hideouts. Needless to say, the Geo TV report was not well received in Islamabad. Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, a spokesman for the military, dismissed it as downright wrong and baseless, and said no government department would ever share such sensitive intelligence with the media. We agree. But the question of who would have seen fit to leak the false intelligence to a major U.S. news network remains. The answer here is considerably more hazy. The first step in forming a picture of the suspect, however, is to examine the consequences of such a leak -- and the most obvious of these is harm to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's government. Musharraf has been under considerable pressure from both Washington and Kabul to expand Pakistani cooperation in containing al Qaeda and Taliban forces operating out of the border region. Afghan government officials -- who fully recognize Musharraf's need to demonstrate continued relevance to the United States -- recently have issued a Error! Bookmark not defined. against Islamabad. Musharraf's government has been accused of turning a blind eye to al Qaeda and Taliban militants using Pakistani soil as a launching pad for attacks against Afghanistan, and there have been repeated declarations that bin Laden is hiding on the Pakistani side of the border. Islamabad has responded with insistence that he is more likely to be found in Afghan territory. Under such circumstances, it certainly does not help Musharraf to have sources within his government telling the American media that bin Laden actually is sheltering in Pakistan. Islamabad benefits by continuing with a double-game as long as possible: So long as bin Laden's location remains ambiguous, the threat of al Qaeda is kept alive and high-profile targets can be hunted, Musharraf will remain a valuable partner for Washington. It is in his best interests to be seen as continuing with efforts to find bin Laden and rout out al Qaeda -- but without actually succeeding. Someone clearly wanted to create trouble for Musharraf, as the "intelligence" leak makes him look bad and gives the United States greater cause to pressure Islamabad for cooperation. It is feasible that U.S. intelligence played an indirect role in the affair, but there is a growing list of opposition groups and other political factions in Pakistan that might benefit in this way. In the end, it appears that the spurious report about bin Laden's location actually has ended up causing more grief for Musharraf than for bin Laden himself. Pakistan rejects false U.S. TV report on Laden presence ISLAMABAD, May 28 (Xinhua) Pakistan on Sunday strongly dismissed as baseless a report by an American TV channel that the al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has crossed into Pakistan. The American ABC television reported last week that Osama bin Laden has climbed down the mountains to enter Kumrat valley in Dir-Kohistan area in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP). "There is no iota of truth in the news report depicting presence of Osama Bin Laden in NWFP," Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao told reporters after addressing a tribal jirga or council from the Mohmand Agency in Peshawar, capital of NWFP. Sherpao said that Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used by the foreign elements for terrorist activities. He clarified that the operation in the tribal region of Waziristan was being conducted to flush out the foreign militants. He said that these militants out rightly rejected the government's sincere offer for general amnesty and registration with Pakistani authorities. The Interior Minister repudiated Afghan President Hamid Karzai's allegation against Pakistan and said that the latter should put his own house in order instead of heaping his failure on our doors. Pakistan had been extending maximum cooperation and assistance to Afghanistan for restoration of peace as the stability of Afghanistan was vital for us and for the whole region, Sherpao said. ==== Russia opposes any use of force against Iran over nukes 28/05/2006 :Haaretz/A.P: Moscow is opposed to any use of force against Iran over its controversial nuclear program, a senior Russian defense official said Sunday according to Iranian television. "Unlike the U.S., Russia believes Iran's nuclear program needs to be resolved only through dialogue. Any use of force will further complicate the issue and will cause tension in the region," Russia's Security Council chief, Igor Ivanov said, Iran's state-run television reported. Ivanov made the comments during a meeting with Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani. The head of Russia's security council arrived in Tehran Saturday to discuss the standoff over Iran's nuclear program, including incentives to be offered as a reward if Iran suspends uranium enrichment. His visit took place as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed the nuclear debate with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the phone, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. Western governments approaching consensus on Iran . The talks with Russian officials come ahead of a meeting of the foreign ministers of the five Security Council members - the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France - plus Germany on the Iran standoff. In high-level talks in London Wednesday, the ministers appeared to have narrowed their differences on the terms of rewards to present Iran if it gives up enrichment, or sanctions if it does not. Russia and China have opposed calls by the United States, Britain and France for a resolution that would threaten sanctions and be enforceable by military action if Iran does not give up enriching uranium. But a compromise is emerging that would rule out military action and call for new consultations among the five permanent Security Council members on any further steps against Iran, diplomats said. The U.S. and some of its allies accuse Tehran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to produce nuclear weapons. Tehran has denied this, saying its nuclear program is merely to generate electricity. Iran intends to move toward large-scale uranium enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges by late 2006, and then expand the program to 54,000 centrifuges. However, Iran's media quoted Iran's ambassador to the UN, Javad Zarif, as saying Sunday that Tehran could limit enrichment as a way to resolve the mounting crisis with the West. "We will agree to limited enrichment," Zarif said, according to the daily Etemad Melli, or National Confidence.=== Pentagon Concerns Unjustified: newspaper BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhuanet) The Pentagon once again pointed the finger at China in its report to the US Congress on the nation's military power. The commanding tone of the report clearly indicates that its authors believe the United States should act as "global policeman" that punishes any country daring to break its rules. China is an independent nation, and like every other sovereign state, it has the right to develop a military capability that matches the size of its territory, its population and its national economic strength. China is not obliged to seek permission from any other country to develop its military strength, although it has made clear the purpose of its military budget. The Pentagon has nothing to worry as long as it has no intention of provoking China. Peaceful development is a promise that Chinese leaders have made to the entire world many times and on many occasions. But peaceful development does not clash with a nation's need to build up its defensive military capability. The report says "analysis of China's military acquisitions suggests it is also generating capabilities that could apply to other regional contingencies such as conflicts over resources or territory." The authors of the report seem to have forgotten the fact that it is just their own country that has military presence in regions far beyond its territorial boundary. As such a large country with a population of 1.3 billion, China needs to have a military capable of defending its territorial integrity and guaranteeing a peaceful environment for its economic development. The Pentagon is in no position to decide how strong a specific country's military ought to be, or how many tanks, fighter jets or missiles the country needs. Our basic principle is that we need military capabilities strong enough to protect us from military intimidation or invasion. Might in itself is not a threat, unless it is meant to be. The report says that China's "military expansion is already such as to alter the regional military balance." It expresses concern about the situation across the Taiwan Straits. The Taiwan question is an internal affair of China, which has been trying every means possible to realize peaceful reunification. But these efforts for a peaceful settlement do not justify a lack of military capabilities for any contingencies across the Straits. Given that diehard secessionists always cherish the hope of splitting the island from its motherland and have been trying to force events in that direction, our country must have that military might even though it may not necessarily need to use it in the end. (Source: China Daily)=========== Fresh evidence of 'executions' by rogue US marines in Iraq New photographs lend weight to allegations of revenge killings by US unit under attack in which 24 unarmed civilians died Paul Harris in Washington and David Smith in Basra: Sunday May 28, 2006: The Observer, London INTERNATIONAL WARRANT MUST BE ISSUED TO ARREST THE WAR CRIMINALS TO STAND A FAIR TRIAL Fresh photographic evidence seen by US investigators is believed to reveal that some of the 24 unarmed Iraqis killed in the Iraqi town of Haditha after an American died in a roadside bomb in November were in effect executed, it was reported yesterday. According to Congressional and defence officials quoted by the Los Angeles Times, the pictures show wounds to the upper bodies of the victims, who included several women and six children. Some were shot in the head and some in the back. 'There wasn't a gunfight, there were no pockmarked walls,' the paper reports a congressional aide as saying. And it quotes a US Defence Department official who had been briefed on the contents of the photos as saying 'the wounds indicated execution-style' shootings. US military investigators are probing the events of 19 November 2005, and a picture is gradually emerging of a small group of troops who lost control in the wake of an unrelated attack on their vehicle, which left one of their comrades dead. Other soldiers then helped to cover up the atrocity. Claims that US marines massacred Iraqi civilians threaten to undermine public support for keeping British troops in the country, the UK's most senior military officer said yesterday. The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, said that reports of the unprovoked killing of up to two dozen unarmed Iraqis would be 'appalling' if proved accurate. 'Our people are in Iraq and other parts of the world doing difficult and dangerous things in unpleasant circumstances on behalf of their country and they need the support of the people in their country. This sort of accusation - and it is at the moment just an accusation, of course - does make that harder to achieve,' he told the BBC. Two parallel investigations are trying to piece together what happened in the incident. They were sparked by evidence first collected by Time magazine and Iraqi human rights workers. One probe, by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is examining the killings, while another looks at any cover-up. Both are set to conclude in the next few weeks. It is widely expected that they will end with the courts martial of several marines and possible charges of murder. Some top US politicians involved with defence issues have already been briefed on the issue and they have told reporters that the evidence is damaging. 'Marines over-reacted... and killed innocent civilians in cold blood,' Congressman John Murtha, a former marine, told the Washington Post. One retired general, David Brahms, told the newspaper: 'When these investigations come out, there's going to be a firestorm. It will be worse then Abu Ghraib. Nobody was killed at Abu Ghraib.' The incident happened after a hidden bomb exploded as a US marine unit passed through Haditha. One marine, Miguel Terrazas, was killed. Two other marines were also wounded in the blast. What happened next is the focus of the investigations. Eyewitnesses and human rights groups believe the marines swept through the town in a lust for revenge. The attack may have lasted for several hours. At the end of it, 24 Iraqi civilians had been killed. They included a 76-year-old amputee and a four-year-old boy. In one house an entire family, including seven children, were attacked with guns and grenades. Only a 13-year-old girl survived. British soldiers currently in Iraq said they were anxious to distance themselves from the Americans but that Iraqis did seem able to make a distinction. One private, who did not wish to be named, said: 'We are given an education: the Americans get shown how to use a gun. The Iraqis know the difference.' Captain Victoria Wedgwood-Jones, of 20 Armed Brigade, said: 'When the British come and say we are British, they welcome us warmly.'=== ³Politics & economics do not mix with sport²! Sometimes it does when the situation so demands! Western rulers hypocrisy knows no bound, knows no rule, has no principle German Hotel Removes Alcohol, Porn for Arabian Team FRANKFURT, May 28, 2006 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) Alcohol from mini bars and the nude photos in the fitness area have been removed and porn TV channels turned off in a hotel in northern Germany, which plays host to the Arabian soccer team vying in the World Cup due to kick off on June 9. The three-time Asian champions went Saturday night, May 27, from Frankfurt airport to the Hotel Dolce, in the town of Bad Nauheim, which has been especially prepared for their arrival, Reuters reported. The luxurious hotel is trying its best to shield the Arabs from all those western ways as they took up 59 of its 159 rooms for the finals. "They will be able to watch 35 Arabic language TV channels in their rooms so they can see all the (World Cup) games in their own language," Michel Prokop, the hotel's general manager, told Reuters. "We will leave the Pay-TV on in their rooms but the porn movie channels will of course be turned off," he added.=== Due to U.S. illegal Occupation and destruction Dozens of Muslim women widowed each day in Iraq struggle to survive: Well planned, Cunning and most cruellest way to destroy Muslim families!!! 29 May 2006 (DPA)BAGHDAD - Life has been a struggle for 39-year-old Somaya since her husband was felled two years ago by a random bullet as he was walking in a Baghdad suburb leaving her along to bring up three children, the oldest only 11. She lives in a small rented apartment in the Shiite-dominated al- Shoala district of western Baghdad, where she works as a vegetable vendor. Her apartment building lacks basic sanitation. ³Two years ago my husband was killed. He did not have any political activities or animosities, he was just working selling leftovers,² she said. ³We were happy despite having a difficult life. Now I am alone and have to raise three kids and send them to school regularly with the little income I get from my work,² she added. The ministry for women¹s affairs is unable to provide statistics on the number of widows in the country but a recent United Nations report, based on information from several Iraqi aid organizations, showed that between 90 and 100 women are widowed each day amid an escalation in sectarian violence. Targeted assassinations, random killings and roadside and car bombs have become commonplace in Iraq in the aftermath of the US-led invasion and ouster of former president Saddam Hussein in 2003. Asma al-Shabout, a women¹s rights activist, said that the statistics provided by the UN reflected the spike in violence across the country but noted Iraq already had many young widows before the current Iraq war. ³The phenomenon dates back to the start of the wars ordered by Saddam in 1980 until he was toppled in 2003,² al-Shabout said. Fa¹eza Papakhan, a former Kurdish MP and activist, has also sounded the alarm bell over the growing number of widows. ³Iraqi streets are experiencing lots of violence and killing so the rate of widows is at risk of rising, something that would put the Iraqi family at risk,² she said. Papakhan believes that the problem of Iraqi widows could only be tackled by tacking the security situation and by disarming the militias. ³The problem of widows needs serious government intervention and real aid,² she said. Anti Muslim riot again in ³secular² India: 30 hurt AHMEDABAD, May 28: At least 30 people were injured in clashes between Hindus and Muslims in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat state, witnesses and police said. Police official B.C. Modi said hundreds of people were involved in the fighting, and that most of the injuries were caused by stones or burning missiles. The violence in Ahmedabad follows riots in Vadodara city, also in Gujarat state, early this month which killed six people. Gujarat, ruled by India¹s main opposition Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, saw widespread communal rioting in 2002 which left over 1,000 people dead.‹Reuters: 29 May, 2006== Guantanamo hunger strikers now number 75 A.P. 29 May, 2006: SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The number of Guantanamo Bay detainees staging a hunger strike has grown from three to 75, the U.S. military said Monday, reflecting increasing defiance among men who have been held for up to 4 1/2 years, most without charges and with little contact with the outside world. Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand said the ballooning number of hunger strikers was an "attention-getting" move that may be related to a May 18 clash between 10 detainees and 10 U.S. military guards in which six detainees were injured. The same day, two detainees also overdosed on anti-depressant drugs they had been hoarding. They have since regained consciousness. "The hunger strike technique is consistent with al-Qaida practice and reflects detainee attempts to elicit media attention to bring international pressure on the United States to release them back to the battlefield," Durand said from the base. Seventy-six detainees began the hunger strike in August to protest their indefinite confinement. A month later the number of hunger strikers grew to 131, according to the military, but dwindled to just three earlier this year. Defense lawyers said many detainees ended the protest because the military adopted more aggressive measures to force feed them using a special restraint chair. The military called the measures "safe and humane." The U.S. military holds about 460 men at Guantanamo on suspicion of links to al-Qaida or the Taliban. Human rights groups say many innocent people have been swept up in the Bush administration's war on terrorism and sent to the prison at the Cuban base in Guantanamo Bay, with no end in sight to their incarceration. Only 10 of the detainees have been charged with crimes. Their military trials, the first held by the United States since the World War II era, are set to begin within months. The US Supreme Court, however, is expected to rule in June on whether Mr Bush overstepped his authority by ordering war-crimes trials for some of those held at Guantanamo Bay. ==== Since Zionist Second Lieutenant Blair visited Iraq recently the killing has increased to an unmanageable proportion: Basra is simply ungovernable: Since British occupation of Basra 67% of Sunnis were killed or driven out: Imperial Britain sent Indian colonial troops as cannon fodder to Basra during the First European World war but now there is no British colony to sent colonial troops there! On 29th May, 2006 :In the most violent day in weeks, some 60 people were killed in a bloody explosion of violence across Iraq, including a suicide car bomb attack that killed two British journalists since a panicky Mr Blair visited Iraq secretly. Now even the most loyal Iraqis are saying foreign occupation has increased the tempo of killing but Israel would not allow US and UK to withdraw their occupation army from Iraq to facilitate their proposed invasion of Iran== From: Gamila Zahran > <<mailto:•••@••.•••>•••@••.•••> Manufacturing Fear = The real terrorists Charles Sullivan Amid stories that Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda are planning new attacks on civilian targets in the US, it is important to remember one very important fact: The government is lying. They lie continuously. Their record speaks for itself. Mired in corruption, the empire is falling apart and the Bush cabal is in a panic. The situation is spiraling out of control. The White House needs to create some catastrophic event to hold onto power. Clouds of impeachment are gathering on the horizon, as the people slowly begin to awaken from long years of apathetic stupor. Once again the Bush cabal is manufacturing a threat to frighten the people into submission to the emperor and his minions. We would be fools to fall for it. The chief architects of the Bush cabal responsible for the war on Iraq are the same ones who wrecked terror upon defenseless civilians in South America during the 1980s during the Reagan era. Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and John Negroponte are among the most prominent names involved. Rumsfeld was Reagan¹s special representative to the Middle East in those days. Consider also the enormous resources that have been marshaled against Fidel Castro in Cuba for decades; and now especially Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The people responsible have dark histories that are going unwritten and unreported in the annals of history. The CIA also played a key role in these horrendous events‹and it continues to this day. My point is that we are wasting both time and resources chasing down ghosts while the real terrorists continue to operate safely out of sight. Like Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden is the smoke screen behind which the real terrorists operate. We must be wise enough to see beyond the mists of illusion that have been created to deceive us. We must be prepared to look in some dark places and to be shocked by the truth we find.... I realize that decent people do not want to believe that their own government is capable of such horrific acts of terror against the world, yet alone its own citizens. They assume that we are dealing with conscientious human beings like themselves; people with values similar to our own. But they are not like us; and they are not whom they purport to be. A deep understanding of US history reveals that nothing about America is what it seems. Behind the words recorded in our history books there are hidden histories that must be brought into the light for all to see. Only when this is accomplished will we know who is really running the government and committing acts of terror against innocent people everywhere.... There is considerable evidence that implicates the CIA, the FBI, as well as secret police forces in the murders of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, among others. Malcolm X and Dr. King were silenced by an assassins¹ bullet when they were on the threshold of changing the nation¹s power structure. It is a familiar story. Whenever anyone rises to threaten the status quo, they are assassinated, and always the work of a lone gunmen. Bogus investigations are created to hide or destroy the evidence. It happened in the case of the above mentioned assassinations; it happened with 9-11; and it will happen again. Source- •••@••.•••; ================ I R A N •••@••.••• "People learn from history that people don't learn from history". That is an old tune but isn't it time to change it? Isn't it time to use our head at least a little bit? First, we have to note that in their perpetual search for wealth and power, the United States forged all sorts of false accusations against Saddam Hussein and Iraq, then they destroyed Iraq, just as they destroyed so many countries the world over, everywhere. And what do the people of America and of the world say or do? NOTHING. They pretend not to know, they pretend to believe the lies and fables fed them by the plutocratic television and newspapers. They make believe they are stupid. I guess they do deserve the horrible death that the wealthy few are preparing for the fools (also called "patriots" in American English). What is this plutocratic enemy presently doing about Iran? Well as usual they are scaring them into disarming and especially NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS... just the same as with Iraq! Why? Because the United States WANTS to attack and destroy Iran REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE IRANIANS DO. But in order to avoid retaliation with the possible destruction of evil America (gasp!), they want to make sure that Iran has no nuclear weapon with which to fight back. They want to destroy Iran the same way they destroyed Iraq and other countries. In addition, the typical American soldier is a poor fighter who knows little apart from torturing children and women. In other words, the minute they know for sure that Iran has no nuclear weapons to defend itself... IRAN will be no more! But as long as Iran has the nuclear defensive option - guaranteeing the end of the US as a totalitarian world power, the wimps won't dare attack. Therefore, the ONLY way Iran can protect itself from Humanity's enemy... is to have a strong nuclear defense. There is another aspect to the matter. At the present time, there are numerous Islamic traitors, paid by the Americans, who are very busy working against their own country. The fools don't understand that when the United States is finished with Iran and Syria, ALL the other Islamic countries which until now were hard at work FOR the Americans WILL BE LIKEWISE DESTROYED and that includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc.... everywhere! Why? Just use your head, why would they continue paying the traitors when they can just as fast kill them all and be rid of that expense. But there is another reason: the Americans have a depopulation and race purification agenda to fulfill. Should Iran disarm? Should Iran give up nuclear capabilities? That would be a 100% stupid move and the US would promptly destroy an unarmed Iran. Plain logic suggests that only a nuclear armed Iran will be able to resist US aggression. ONLY if Iran is able to retaliate and destroy such choice US targets as WASHINGTON, NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, can Iran escape the total destruction which the US is planning. == Iran says it has conducted research on nuclear fusion TEHRAN, May 29 (Xinhua) -- An Iranian nuclear official said Monday that Tehran has conducted research into nuclear fusion, the state-run television reported. "Iranian nuclear scientists are trying to catch up the advanced world in using nuclear energy through nuclear fusion," Sadat Hosseini, who runs the technical department at the Nuclear Research Center of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, was quoted as saying. "Iranian scientists have firstly tried nuclear fusion five years ago," he added. Through nuclear fusion, multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. The process of nuclear fusion is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the nuclei involved. Nuclear fusion is employed by certain kinds of atomic bomb. The announcement came during a current visit of Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov for talks with senior Iranian officials on its disputed nuclear issue. Tehran is under intense American, Israeli, Uk., France and German and pressure to stop its uranium enrichment and the United States, Israel and UK accuses Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to achieve an atomic bomb. Iran denied the charge and insisted its nuclear program is only for peaceful use. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany are expected to have more talks on a decision to offer Iran a package of incentives in return for Iran's suspension of its nuclear activities, after their London talks on May 24 stopped short of making a final agreement. Foreign ministers of the six nations were likely to meet on Thursday in the Austrian capital of Vienna to discuss the matter.

Turkey Calls on Iran and Israel to Observe Int'l Law By Cihan News Agency ; May 29, 2006 ;Zaman.com: Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has called on neighboring Iran and Israel to observe the international laws concerning their controversial nuclear programs and projects. Gul and his Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni held a joint press conference on Monday in Ankara after a head-to-head meeting. Israeli Foreign Minister Livni failed to get Turkish support for her country's planned unilateral re-drawing of its borders with Palestine. In reference to the Iranian nuclear row, Turkish Foreign Minister reiterated that Turkey was completely against nuclear proliferation in the region. "If a country is party to the non-proliferation treaty, it should work in transparency. We encourage Iran to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency," Gul said. All nuclear weapons in region should be eliminated, he added, implying those of Israel, which is believed to have up to 200 nuclear warheads. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign debt, along with Russia-Britain¹s two prong attacks plus Anglo-Russian created internal subversion crippled and brought to her knee the proud, glorious Osmania Khilafat : No such mistake under this government would be made this time: ³Turkey not Dependent on IMF²-P.M : And gradually Turkey to get rid off the foreign debts: Good news for Turks By Zaman, Manisa, Izmir : May 29, 2006 : Turkey¹s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the country reduced its $24 billion debt to $11 billion. Erdogan mentioned that the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) had accused the government of obeying every IMF (International Monetary Fund) order. "The opposition itself borrowed the money and we paid it back. It is true that whoever takes loans also takes orders. However, we are among the countries that paid its debt and did not take any orders. We are not dependent on the IMF, and do not forget that we are one of its founding fathers." The PM joined the party congresses held in Izmir and Manisa over the weekend, where Erdogan focused on the government¹s achievements and economic developments in particular. In reply to the criticisms emanating from the opposition, the prime minister added. "We paid the debts. What did you do? We sat at the table with the IMF and did what was necessary, but we did not get into debt. The governments before us could not act as we did because they did not hold talks with the IMF. You should know that who takes loans, also takes orders." He also stressed thanks to the economic and political stability, Turkey could take loans for longer periods like 2.5-15 and even 30 years, which in the past was 6-9 months. "We became a government that could comfortably transform the future into money." There was only $24 billion in the Central Bank, the prime minister disclosed, but the amount today increased to $56 billion. "That is a difference of $32 billion. The total amount of debt paid amounts to 100 quadrillion. How could we find such an amount? Did we have oil wells? It was paid through honesty, stability and reliability that we secured. It is our success. No one can siphon the money from the Central Bank anymore."---- BRITAIN¹S ³INVISIBLE FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNERS²? Britain becomes largest market of Internet porn business BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Britain is becoming the fastest growing and largest market in the world for the booming internet adult porn business, with record numbers of people downloading porn from the Internet, said a survey available Tuesday. According to the survey for the Independent by Nielsen NetRatings, the world-leader in Internet analysis, British Internet surfers look up the word "porn" more than anyone in the English-speaking world.More than nine million men - almost 40 percent of Britain's male population - used pornographic websites last year, compared with an estimated two million in 2000. One in four men aged 25 to 49 have visited an adult website last month alone, according to the survey. The survey also discloses that women are among the fastest growing users of porn on the Internet, with a 30 percent rise from one million to 1,5 million in the past 12 months. Men and women spend an average 40 minutes each month looking at pornographic websites while half of all couples watch porn on the internet together. While some specialists welcome the figures, saying they show Britons have a more liberated attitude towards sex, others warn the search for graphic images of sex acts is contributing to relationship break-ups. Forty percent of couples having problems with their relationships say Internet porn is at least partly to blame, relationship agencies were quoted as saying. The survey also shows that more than half of all children - about seven million - have encountered porn on the Internet "while looking for something else." (Agencies)==== Five abducted Indian soldiers killed in NE. India NEW DELHI, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Five Indian paramilitary forces have been killed by unidentified gunmen after they were abducted last week from Assam in northeast India, police said Tuesday. The bodies of the five paramilitary Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel were recovered Monday from a densely forested area in the neighboring region, about 320 km from Guwahati. "A group of woodcutters spotted the dead bodies and it was later confirmed they were the five SSB personnel who were kidnapped earlier in the week," Indo-Asian News Service quoted a senior Assam government official as saying. Police said the captors beheaded one of the soldiers, while the others were blindfolded and their hands tied from behind. The captors used gunshots and crude implements to kill them, a police official said. Six people, including the five SSB troops, were abducted by a group of unidentified gunmen on May 21 from village Moradanshiri in northern Assam's Udalguri district, bordering Bhutan. The dead body of the civilian who was kidnapped along with the SSB soldiers was recovered from a nearby village the following morning, a police official said. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the killing so far. ========================================================= Holocaust is the raison d¹être for Israel. No holocaust no Israel.
