Drone Strike: 5 killed but Pakistan-U.S. tense

PDF Print E-mail


At least five people were killed today and three others injured when a US drone fired a pair of missiles at a home in North Waziristan’s Tappi village. The casualties were described as “suspected militants” by intelligence officials, though they were all locals to the region. The attack was the fourth of the week, all of them in the area around the North Waziristan town of Miramshah. Previous attacks included a Sunday strike which killed a schoolteacher and a nine year old boy, and a pair of Wednesday hits on a mud hut, the second of which killed several members of the rescue team that arrived after the first.

Pakistani officials have expressed increasing consternation with the growing number of civilian casualties in the strikes, with President Zardari warning that it was undermining support for the war effort that the US has demanded Pakistan start in those regions. Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani added that US policies on this and other issues were threatening bilateral ties.

Despite the growing complaints and increasing questions about the policy’s effectiveness, a delegation of US senators to the region praised the strikes and vowed that they would continue. If the strikes continue at the frenzied pace so far throughout 2010, the issue will likely become a much bigger one.

Reports from Pakistani security officials say that of the 708 people killed in 2009 drone strikes, only a handful were key militant leaders and the vast, vast majority were innocent civilians

US Democrats no more the 'Peace Party'

President Obama faces the unprecedented challenge of being a war president in charge of a peace party. His emergence in this new role less than a week before he picks up his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo has been some time in coming. It was one thing for Obama to speak of Afghanistan as the good war during his presidential campaign, when the military situation appeared stable, or even during the first months of his presidency, when there was hope that adding more troops, as he did last spring, could bring the situation quickly under control.

Photos: Al-Quraan Writing On Baby's Body

A strange phenomenon in Russia. A baby is born with the writings of the Holy Islamic Book, the Al-Quraan; seen on his body. It is on his arms and legs. The baby is Ali Yakubov and his special body marks has shocked the nurses, the medical experts in Russia.

This has sparked a series of comments from people to the extent that a Mufti in Russia stated that the phenomenon is a warning to the Muslims in Dagestan, where the baby is located.

The markings appeared twice on the baby's body and dissappears instantly as if they were never there, leaving no traces. They are not 'tatoos' as some would believe since the doctors and nurses saw with their own eyes how the writings appears and dissappears.

This has made Ali a very special baby indeed in Dagestan.

In Bahasa Melayu:

MOSCOW - Majlis Mufti Rusia kelmarin sebulat suara menyatakan bahawa ayat suci al-Quran yang muncul dua kali seminggu pada kulit Ali Yakubov iaitu seorang bayi lelaki berusia sembilan bulan di wilayah Dagestan, selatan Rusia merupakan amaran tuhan kepada semua penduduk Islam di Rusia dan Dagestan.

 

Menurut kenyataan majlis itu, mengikuti perintah Allah dan meninggalkan segala persengketaan, mewujudkan keamanan sesama umat Islam dan dengan jiran, membersihkan diri daripada dosa dan mula mengamalkan prinsip kejiranan selain bermaaf-maafan menyebabkan penduduk Islam di negara tersebut akan mendapat keampunan Allah.

Menurut beberapa laporan, ibu bapa Ali yang tinggal di bandar Kizlyar di wilayah Dagestandan kalangan imam tempatan mendakwa ayat suci al-Quran itu muncul pada hari Isnin dan Jumaat sebelum hilang dan digantikan dengan ayat baru.

Salah satu ayat itu bermaksud: "Allah ialah Pencipta segala yang ada.".

Apabila ayat suci seterusnya muncul, Ali tidak dapat tidur sepanjang malam dan mengalami demam dengan kepanasan badannya tidak dapat dikurangkan walaupun dengan menggunakan ubat-ubatan kuat.

Semasa dia dilahirkan, Ali didapati menghidap penyakit jantung dan berkaitan dengan otak tetapi dia sembuh sepenuhnya selepas ayat al-Quran
mula muncul pada tubuhnya. - Agensi
