Kader told AFP that "The (Jerusalem) municipality used this as a pretext to issue the demolition orders despite appeals by the residents." He said that several of the houses served with demolition order

An 11-year-old boy shot his father's pregnant girlfriend in the back of the head while she was in bed, then got on the school bus, authorities said. Jordan Brown, of Wampum, Pennsylvania, was charged on Saturday as an adult with murdering Kenzie Marie Houk, who was eight months pregnant, and her unborn baby, Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo said. The charges were criminal homicide and criminal homicide of an unborn child.

When I returned from the war in Vietnam, I wrote a film script as an antidote to the myth that the war had been an ill-fated noble cause. The producer David Puttnam took the draft to Hollywood and offered it to the major studios, whose responses were favourable – well, almost. Each issued a report card in which the final category, “politics”, included comments such as: “This is real, but are the American people ready for it? Maybe they’ll never be.” By the late 1970s, Hollywood judged Americans ready for a different kind of Vietnam movie. The first was The Deer Hunter which, according to Time,

US forces in Afghanistan confirm that 13 civilians and only 3 militants were killed in an operation originally meant to eradicate insurgents.

Agents in Britain's MI5 and MI6 services have reportedly assisted Pakistan's intelligence in torturing terrorist suspects.

I once even read on another forum that Hezbollah should be helping Muslims in Chinese provinces..there is no pleasing some people. If Sayyed Nasrallah cured cancer, certain Muslims would ask why he didn't cure AIDS..

Paris warns Tel Aviv against insisting on a deal with Hamas to release abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit before easing Gaza blockade. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Friday said that the French government supports an Egyptian proposal for a truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Paris believes it is unnecessary to link Shalit with any cease-fire deal. The two issues should be worked out simultaneously but the one should not be conditioned on the other, said Kouchner. He also confirmed that France and the Palestinian side have been holding indirect negotiations mediat

Satyaban? Where you at?
