Asylum seekers tortured upon return By Karlis Salna 6:46 PM Friday Sep 3, 2010 Share Email Print Three asylum seekers forcibly removed to Sri Lanka in 2009 are believed to have been tortured and jailed following an attempt to return to Australia, says Amnesty International.

Manila begins hostage crisis probe Authorities in the Philippines have begun a three-day inquiry into a botched hostage rescue operation in which eight Hong Kong tourists were killed in the capital, Manila. Leila de Lima, the Philippine justice secretary who is heading the probe, launched the proceedings on Friday, summoning Rico Puno, the country's undersecretary of the department of interior. Puno, the highest ranking official being asked to testify so far, admitted to several mistakes that led to the tourists' deaths during the 11-hour hostage standoff on August 23.

Karzai slams Nato civilian killings Afghan President Hamid Karzai has condemned an air strike by Nato-led forces which he said killed 10 election campaign workers, although US officials maintained it was aimed at an Islamist leader. Nato said its airstrike on a car in northern Takhar province's normally quiet Rustaq district killed or wounded as many as 12 insurgents on Thursday, including a Taliban commander and a local head of an allied insurgent group, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, responsible for attacks in Kabul and elsewhere. However Karzai said the airstrike had killed 10 campaigners working for a candidate in Afghanistan's September 18 parliamentary elections. "The rationale for the airstrike still needs to be...

Hamas taking hard line over peace negotiations Attacks on settlers will continue unless the rulers of Gaza can be accommodated, writes MICHAEL JANSEN? BY RESPONDING with violence to the resumption of Fatah-Israeli negotiations, Hamas, ruler of Gaza, is demonstrating that there can be no peace between the Palestinians and Israel unless Hamas is involved. Hamas's military wing has so far staged two drive-by shootings in the West Bank, killing four settlers near the contested city of Hebron and wounding two near the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority's administrative centre of Ramallah. Mahmoud Zahar, a leading Hamas figure in Gaza, said attacks and targeting of settlers would continue in the West Bank. The fact... Click here for more details. |

Offshore Oil Platform in the Gulf of Mexico Explodes NEW ORLEANS — An offshore oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday morning, injuring one worker, the United States Coast Guard said. The rig was located just west of where another rig leased by BP blew up and sank this spring, killing 11 people and touching off an environmental calamity. All 13 members of the work crew on board on Thursday were accounted for, the Coast Guard said. News reports said there was smoke rising from the platform, but it was unclear whether the rig was actively burning or in danger of foundering, or whether the explosion had set off any underground oil leaks. Several helicopters, airplanes and boats were speeding to the scene of the explosion, south... Click here for more details. |

Miners' morale leaps as Chile rescue drill inches closer COPIAPO—The morale of 33 miners trapped in Chile soared Wednesday after music and hot meals were supplied, and NASA added its experience to keeping them healthy while a rescue drill inched closer. A new video shot by the miners and broadcast on state television late Tuesday showed the men shaven, wearing clean clothes and listening to a tropical tune. The figures in the images were a far cry from the haggard, mud-caked, bare-chested miners shown in a first video last week, days after they were located by a probe drill. The miners have now spent 27 days in the San Jose mine in northern Chile, which... Click here for more details. |

Mozambique police fire at crowds protesting high prices; 7 dead MAPUTO, (AP) — Police opened fire Wednesday on stone-throwing mobs who were protesting rising prices, killing seven people as the U.N. noted that international food prices have risen to their highest in two years — a level that could see unrest spread. Police had declared the marches illegal, saying no group sought permission to hold them. Word had been passed around for days in this former Portuguese colony in southeast Africa that there would be demonstrations. Thousands of people, mostly young men, turned out. They lined the streets of Bagamoyo, a crowded, impoverished neighborhood just north of downtown Maputo. As they moved into the city center, they burned tires and looted...

The Unraveling of Military Strategies, Thinking and Nations Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. If President Barack Obama was true to his campaign pledge in ending the war in Iraq, he would have delivered his speech on August 19 instead of on August 31. Unlike Canadian soldiers who in 1944 marched triumphantly into Dieppe after having defeated Nazi forces, two years earlier on August 19 Allied troops tried to land at the French port. It became one of the greatest military disasters in history. In just a few hours, a courageous assault led by Canadian troops against the mainland of Nazi-occupied Europe ended. The attack, consisting of a Canadian Division, suffered an eighty-percent casualty rate. Of the 6,000 men who made it ashore,... Click here for more details. |

Text of President Obama's speech on Iraq Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation on the End of Combat Operations in Iraq THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I'd like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home. I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We've now been through nearly a decade of war. We've endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we're trying to build for our nation -- a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity -- may seem beyond our reach.
