Birthday/Daily Gam Shot
Brittany Murphy aka Alex in "8 Mile" aka Daisy Randone in "Girl, Interrupted" aka Tai in "Clueless" aka Susan in "Something Wicked" aka June in "Across the Hall" aka Abby in "The Ramen Girl" aka Emily Jackson-Jacks in "Love and Other Disasters" aka Stacy in "Little Black Book" aka Jody Marken in "Cherry Falls" (Died in 2009 at age 32)
[Dawn] An Afghan soldier shot and maimed three Australian and two Afghan troops in southern Afghanistan, the third such surprise attack against Australians in the past five months, officials said on Wednesday.
The shooting comes after a string of attacks by "rogue" soldiers and police, or by beturbanned goons who have infiltrated security forces.
Such attacks are especially damaging as the Afghan National Army (ANA) tries to win public trust before Afghan forces take full responsibility for security nationwide.
Foreign combat troops are due to leave Afghanistan at the end of 2014.
The ANA soldier opened fire with a grenade launcher and an automatic weapon from a position overlooking a patrol base in Uruzgan province late on Tuesday, Australia's Defence Force commander David Hurley said.
The Australian soldiers sustained wounds that were not life-threatening but serious, while the two Afghan soldiers also shot at the base were in a satisfactory condition, Hurley and a front man for the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... -led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan said.
The Afghan soldier decamped the scene in an army vehicle, Hurley said. ISAF said a search for him was still underway.
Tuesday's shooting followed a similar attack less than two weeks ago in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan, when an Afghan soldier shot and killed three Australian soldiers and an Afghani interpreter.
In May, an Afghan soldier killed an Australian service member who had been mentoring the Afghan army, ISAF said, an attack which also took place in Uruzgan province.
The Afghan soldier was later killed when he refused arrest, ISAF said.
The latest shooting prompted the Australian Greens political party to renew their call for Australia to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan, where it has around 1,500 troops.
But Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who made a surprise visit to Kabul in the past week, said Australia would stick with its military commitments in Afghanistan.
"As distressing as these incidents are, as dreadful as these incidents are, our mission in Afghanistan does need to continue," Gillard told news hounds in Melbourne.
"Training is pivotal to that mission and our purpose in Afghanistan is to deny Afghanistan as a country in which cut-throats can train to wreak violence around the world."
In September, an Afghan guard employed by the US embassy opened fire inside a CIA office in Kabul, killing an American contractor.

[Tolo News] Afghan local officials said that Afghan and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... -led troops killed 50 to 60 Taliban fighters during an attack by cut-throats on a base in Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province late on Tuesday.
Isaf confirmed there had been an attack on a base in the Barmal district of eastern Paktika province. It said that cut-throats attacked their base using small arms and rocket propelled grenade.
Isaf said that troops fought back, causing "significant" casualties among the jihad boys.
Mukhlis Afghan, a front man for Paktika governor, put the number of Taliban fighters killed at between 50 and 60, adding that the operation was launched after dozens of cut-throats attacked a foreign troops base.
Officials said that two buildings used by cut-throats were destroyed in the fighting, which included Isaf air strikes.
It said there has been no reports of civilian casualties.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Al-Shabaab ... Harakat ash-Shabaab al-Mujahidin aka the Mujahideen Youth Movement. It was originally the youth movement of the Islamic Courts, now pretty much all of what's left of it. They are aligned with al-Qaeda but operate more like the Afghan or Pakistani Taliban. The organization's current leader is Ibrahim Haji Jama Mee'aad, also known as Ibrahim al-Afghani. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, a Kenyan al-Qaeda member, is considered the group's military leader... fighters have paraded in the streets of one of their strongholds on the Somali coast and vowed to repulse the Kenyan incursion. (Read: Al-Shabaab on the run in south zone)
The show of force in Marka town, 500 kilometres north of Kismayu, involved a display of speed boats mounted with machine guns with which they hope to face the Kenya Navy.
Also on display were the four-wheel pick-ups mounted with machine guns, known as technicals.
Residents of the town said they were asked to come out on the streets and beach to witness the parade.
Marka is about 100 kilometres south of the capital, Mogadishu, from where the rebels have been largely routed by African Union forces.
Kenyan and Somali government troops are approaching Kismayu from the south after taking a string of towns on the coastline.
The Tuesday display came as Kenya's military incursion inside Somalia was debated in the UK parliament.
Using loud speakers on minibuses, the gunnies drove around calling on the inhabitants of Marka, the capital of Lower Shabelle region, to come out and watch a big military display.
Along the coastline, speedboats mounted with automatic machine guns, according to witnesses, cut across the water in formation.
Defend territory
An Al-Shabaab officials who addressed the crowd vowed to defend their territory if attacked from the sea, witnesses said.
The gunnies appeared to be reacting to indications that the Kenya Navy, that already controls the Indian Ocean waters in territory the land forces have taken, was preparing to launch offensives against them in their strongholds including the main port town of Kismayu.
The cut-throats zoomed around the streets of Marka in technicals bearing masked fighters wielding assault rifles and escorted by others on cycle of violences.
"Our forces are ready to defeat any aggressor," an Al-Shabaab official whose name was not given was quoted as telling the crowd.
According to some reports, the residents who had gathered to watch the parade decamped when a cycle of violence rider lost control and ploughed into the crowd killing a young boy and injuring several other people.
Al-Shabaab is under severe pressure from the Kenya military and its Transitional Federal Government allies.
They have already decamped from a large swathe of territory they used to control near the Kenyan border like Ras Kamboni, Oddo and Burgabo.
Kenyan troops crossed the border on October 16 after a series of unprovoked attacks by gunnies in Kenya.
Two tourists were killed in Lamu and another two kidnapped, one of who died in captivity.
The Kenyans' objective is to degrade Al-Shabaab's capacity to wage war, drive them out of large areas of southern Somalia and hand them over to government forces.
The capture of Kismayu port whose shipping revenue earns the rebels millions of dollars which they use to buy weapons is key to the Kenyan plan.
But the parade in Marka, hundreds of kilometres from the Kenyans' war theatre may force them to extend the operation beyond Kismayu.
Meanwhile, ...back at the scene of the crime, Lieutenant Queeg had an idea: there was a simple way to tell whether Manetti had been the triggerman -- just look at his shoes!... Al-Shabaab grabbed credit for a series of grenade attacks on the residences of Somali government officials and positions of the TFG forces in Mogadishu on Tuesday night.
An attack on the house of a former minister of Justice, Sheikh Abdurahman Farah Janaqow, an MP in South Mogadishu, was reported to have killed two people and maimed others.
Among casualties
The MP was not listed among the casualties.
Other grenade attacks targeted the residence of Mr Ahmed Hassan Addow, alias Ahmed Da'ie, the District Commissioner of Wadajir in Southern Mogadishu.
Another attack occurred at Fagah, an important checkpoint in Karan District in North Mogadishu.
Al-Shabaab have resorted to hit and run tactics and suicide bombs since Ugandan and Burundian troops pushed them out of the capital.
Their targets have included not just Amisom troops, but also government officials and civilians in public places such as markets, schools and mosques.

An kaboom hit an Egyptian pipeline that transports gas to Israel and Jordan early Thursday. The pipeline blew up in the city of Al Arish in Egypt's northern Sinai Peninsula, witnesses said. No casualties were immediately reported.
It was the seventh kaboom to hit the pipeline since a popular uprising forced former president Hosny Mubarak to step down in February. Authorities have blamed the incidents on activists protesting against gas exports to Israel, which have been running since 2008 under a 15-year deal with preferential terms.
Officials of the new government have been trying to amend the deal since Mubarak's toppling. Authorities have tightened security around the pipeline, but failed to prevent the latest kaboom.
Perhaps the security wasn't there to protect the pipeline but instead the kaboomers.
Saboteurs blew up the gas pipeline between Egypt, Israel and Jordan on Thursday morning in Northern Sinai using remote controlled explosive bombs forcing a shutdown in the flow of gas, Egyptian security sources said.
The blast, the seventh this year and the first since pumping was resumed on 24 October, was near Mazar area, 30 km (18 miles) west of the town of Al-Arish.
Witnesses saw a second, smaller kaboom west of Al-Arish near a pumping station, state news agency MENA reported. The report said it was not clear whether any damage was done.
"Primary examination showed that Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) were put under the pipeline and were detonated from a distance," a security source told Rooters. "The attackers used two trucks and extended wires were found at the scene," he added.
A company official from East Mediterranean Gas Co (EMG), which exports Egyptian gas to Israel, had said in July that international shareholders in the firm were pursuing legal claims against Egypt for $8 billion in damages from contract violations in gas supplies. That followed disruptions caused by pipeline attacks.

This is what happens when you let cousins marry for a thousand years. The military morons let Islamist morons destroy a source of income needed to purchase food when the income from tourism and overseas loans/aid is drying up. Food prices are already shooting up and blowing up the pipeline will just accelerate Israel's search for alternative the money that would have gone to Egypt will now go elsewhere and probably hasten the end of any energy purchases by Israel and possibly others of Egyptian gas. Who wants to deal with crazies who wont honor contracts.

...except FDR showed what the federal government would do with such exports. [Hint - He cut the Japanese off because of their actions in China leading to the Japanese looking to the south for replacements and war.] Lesson - don't rely upon Washington being benevolent if it has an agenda that would effect your existence.
[Bangla Daily Star] Law enforcers are on high alert after the government received information that Pakistain-based krazed killer outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba may attack Dhaka and Chittagong today.
Sources said security agencies are on high alert across the country since Tuesday after an intelligence agency forwarded to other agencies information about possible kabooms.
Talking to The Daily Star, at least three deputy commissioners of Dhaka Metropolitan Police and a top official of Rapid Action Battalion said they received alert messages from their high-ups on Tuesday.
According to the DCs, they were asked to be alert and keep intense vigilance as the krazed killer organization might carry out kabooms in the capital and the port city.
Inspector General of Police Hassan Mahmood Khandker, however, denied any krazed killer threat as well as the country being on high alert. He said his law enforcers and intelligence units are always alert and are capable of handling any situation.
Lt Col Ziaul Ahsan, director of Intelligence of Rab, said he heard about the threat but he himself did not receive any alarming messages.
However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... Ziaul said, "We often receive information regarding threats or attacks but we have to verify whether the information is right or wrong."

The remains of seven individuals were found at a soccer field near Durango, Durango Tuesday, according to Mexican news accounts.
The bodies were found in El Pino, which is a village about 20 kilometers from the state capital of Durango state.
Reports say ages of the victims ranges from 16 to 40 years old. All had been tortured before being shot to death.
So far five of the victims have been identified including Luis Alberto Gonzalez Valenzuela, Antonio Bustamante, his wife Cecilia Zuniga Vazquez, Franscio Bustamante Bustamante and Reyes Garcia Rios. The five identified had been kidnapped Monday night by armed suspects.
Two other victims were identified as police officers in Durango city.
Also, the office of the Durango state Fiscalia General de Estado, or attorney general's office reported Tuesday that the remains of at least one individual was found dead about eight kilometers from the village of Labor de Guadalupe in Durango municipality.
The remains had been scattered in a five meter radius.
Durango was the state where 260 dead were found in eight mass gravesites in and around Durango city between April and June 2011. Many of those victims were from murders committed since four years ago, and many have either not been identified or were not claimed by relatives.

[Dawn] A court Wednesday convicted 31 Hindus for killing dozens of Mohammedans by setting a building on fire in Gujurat state during one of India's worst rounds of communal violence nine years ago.
For several weeks in 2002, Hindu mobs rampaged through Mohammedan neighborhoods, towns and villages in the state in rioting sparked by an arson attack on a train that killed 60 Hindus. Extremists blamed the train attack on Mohammedans.
Wednesday's verdict dealt with an arson attack on a building in Mehsana district, nearly 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Ahmadabad, the main city of Gujarat ...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime... state. Thirty-three Mohammedans, including 20 women, who had taken shelter there were burned to death in the fire.
Judge S.T. Srivastava acquitted an additional 41 Hindu suspects of murder charges for lack of evidence. The judge will sentence those convicted later this week. They face the death penalty.
Two of the suspects died during the trial, which had been expedited by orders from India's top court, the Supreme Court.

The crime was in 2002 and it just got through trial - and the trial was EXPEDITED? That's as 'good' as we do here!
#2
At only nine years this was a super expedited case. Very fast. The wheels of justice grind at a glacial pace in India. Any slower and it could be classed as geological.

A man was injured by a bomb explosion while rubber tapping in a plantation near Ban Pileng in Narathiwat province on Thursday morning.
Taweesak Saengsuwan, of Tak Bai district, stepped on a bomb buried at the foot of a rubber tree. He was injured in the face, right ankle and the middle finger of the left hand. His wife who was also tapping rubber not far away, was unhurt.
Police, arriving at the scene, found another bomb in the plantation and destroyed it.
[An Nahar] Angry Syrian protesters pelted a group of opposition leaders with eggs outside Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... headquarters in Cairo on Wednesday, preventing them from entering the building for talks with the organization's chief about the violence in Syria.
The scuffle highlights the deep divisions within the Syrian opposition, which is struggling to overcome infighting and inexperience eight months into the uprising against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... 's autocratic regime.
The protesters -- apparently concerned the group would agree to a dialogue with the Syrian regime -- threw eggs at a four-man delegation of the Syrian National Coordination Committee, headed by Hassan Abdul-Azim, as they tried to enter the vaporous Arab League's headquarters in downtown Cairo.
Members of the delegation, which were pushed and shoved by about 100 protesters, were forced to turn back.
Arab league officials said the delegation left to get a change of clothes and would return in a few hours time but an official said later that a member of the delegation was meeting with Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby.
The National Coordination Committee is a rival to the broad-based Syrian National Council group formed in October, which rejects all forms of contact with the regime under the current crackdown. Some Syrians see the NCC as more willing to engage in dialogue with the Syrian leadership.
"No to dialogue with the regime," one protester shouted.
Syria agreed to a peace plan brokered by the Arab League last week, but officials say Damascus ...The City of Jasmin is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... has since failed to abide by its commitments under the plan, including to pull tanks and other armor out of cities and stop the bloodshed that the U.N. estimates has left at least 3,500 people dead.
The plan includes a pledge to work on starting a dialogue with the Syrian opposition.
But the violence has continued unabated -- more than 100 people have been killed in the flashpoint region of Homs in central Syria in the past week -- prompting Qatar's prime minister to call for an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss Damascus' failure to abide by its commitments.
It was not clear what action the league would take if the bloodshed continues, although it could isolate Syria by suspending or freezing its membership. That would be a major symbolic blow to a nation that prides itself on being a powerhouse of Arab nationalism.

[An Nahar] Syrian troops killed 12 civilians on Wednesday, five of whom were attending a funeral in Damascus ...The City of Jasmin is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... and were caught up in the regime's continuing crackdown on dissent, a human rights ...which often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... group said.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... local Syrian coordination committees reported that 25 people have been killed at the hands of Syrian security forces in Homs, Daraa, and Reef Hama on Wednesday, reported al-Arabiya television.
Starting at dawn, when the crackle of gunfire could be heard sustained for half an hour, the corpse count steadily rose through the day.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said: "Six non-combatants were killed in the Damascus neighborhood of Barzeh, five of whom were slain by security forces who fired on the funeral of a young man.
"Three other civilians perished under the bullet of the regime's forces at Inkhel, in the southern Daraa region, and seven protesters were maimed in the neighboring locality of Jassem who were protesting against the repression," it added.
The continuing killing -- which on Tuesday resulted in another 20 bodies -- has increased international anger at Syria which only last week signed up to an Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... peace plan which called for an end to violence.
Under the plan, Damascus would also release those jugged for protesting, and withdraw all Syrian forces from towns and cities. It says it has already released more than 500.
But since signing the Arab roadmap, up to Tuesday according to the United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aims of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... , Syrian forces have killed another 60 people, adding to the U.N. estimate of 3,500 who have died in the crackdown on protests which erupted in mid-March.
The opposition Syrian National Council -- an umbrella body grouping most of the pro-democracy currents -- has urged the vaporous Arab League "to take a strong and effective position against the Syrian regime commensurate with the dangerous development of the situation in Syria, especially in... Homs."
It wants the League to freeze Syria's membership, impose economic and diplomatic sanctions, and seek the referral of allegations of genocide and other human rights violations by the regime to the International Criminal Court ... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... .
Listing the latest dead, the Britannia-based Observatory said two more civilians were shot and killed in Homs -- the besieged flashpoint city 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Damascus -- and one civilian in Abu Kamal in the east, killed during checks and questioning by security forces.
Three people, one of them a child, died under the bullets of the regime's forces in the southern region of Daraa, birthplace of the eight-month-old protest movement against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... , the Observatory said in a statement.
In Brussels, diplomats said the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... is readying a freeze on European Investment Bank credits to Syria as it mulls more sanctions on Assad's regime, with a decision expected at a meeting of foreign ministers next Monday.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague joined those demanding the Arab League respond promptly to Syria's failure to abide by its commitments.
"I call on the Arab League to respond swiftly and decisively to the Syrian regime's failure to implement the agreement so far," said Hague. "The international community looks to these Arab nations to show decisive leadership to address this crisis in their midst."
Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, described the situation in the embattled neighborhood of Homs as "appalling," with residents deprived of food, water, and medical supplies for the past week.
NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... , which intervened in Libya, has ruled out operations in Syria, and U.N. Security Council sanctions are unlikely because Russia and China, both with the power of veto, are allies of the Assad regime.
This has put the Arab League in the spotlight as the best possible chance of bringing pressure on Damascus.
The Cairo-based League is due to hold an emergency ministerial meeting on Syria next Saturday.
Syria meanwhile has apologized to Leb over repeated border violations and has vowed to respect its neighbor's independence and illusory sovereignty, Lebanese President Michel Suleiman's office told AFP. A number of Syrian opposition figures have disappeared in Leb.

[Dawn] An increasing number of Syrian soldiers are defecting to the opposition, raising the risk of a Libyan-style civil war in Syria, UN human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... chief Navi Pillay said on Wednesday.
"Where basic human rights are trampled and peaceful demands for change met by brutal violence, people are eventually compelled to have recourse to rebellion against tyranny and oppression," Pillay told the UN Security Council.
"It happened in Libya, it may happen in Syria," she said during a debate on protecting civilians in armed conflict.
"More and more soldiers refuse to become complicit in international crimes and are changing sides.
There is a serious risk of Syria descending into armed struggle."
Illustrating Pillay's point Syrian activists said that an armored government force stormed an area northwest of the city of Hama on Wednesday in pursuit of army defectors challenging Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad's Supressor of the Damascenes... rule.
Pillay reiterated UN estimates that "well over 3,500" people have been killed in Syria since anti-government demonstrations began in March.
"Tens of thousands of people, including doctors, nurses and maimed patients, have been arbitrarily placed in durance vile and many remain jugged incommunicado, placing them at serious risk of torture," she said.
Syria agreed to an Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... plan on Nov. 2, pledging to pull its military from restive cities, set political prisoners free and start talks with the opposition, which wants to remove Assad and introduce more democratic freedoms.
Pillay told the 15-nation Security Council she was "concerned that the killing of civilians has not stopped."
She urged Damascus ...The City of Jasmin is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... to allow a human rights monitoring mission to help ensure that Syria complies with the vaporous Arab League agreement.
Last month Russia and China joined forces to veto a European-drafted Security Council resolution that would have condemned the Syrian government's crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators and threatened possible sanctions.
US and European diplomats have repeatedly said that they are ready to submit a new draft resolution along similar lines as soon as Russia and China change their positions. But so far Moscow and Beijing remain adamantly opposed to the idea, Western diplomats say.
