(Xinhua) -- Afghan government on Saturday termed the U.S. media reports that some officials are on the payroll of United States intelligence agency CIA as baseless and denounced it.
"Afghanistan believes that such baseless propaganda would not strengthen the alliance on terror, rather would have negative impact in this field," a statement released by Presidential Palace said.
New York Times and the Washington Post, according to the statement, had reported recently that half of Afghan officials particularly in the Presidential Palace are on the payroll of CIA.
"We strongly condemn such allegations which defame the responsible persons of this country," the statement further said.
Relations between Afghan government and U.S. has been strained since President Hamid Karzai ordered over 50 private security companies, with majority of them Americans or hired by Americans, to cease operation in Afghanistan within the next four months.
U.S. officials have been criticizing President Hamid Karzai's government over the alleged administrative corruption in Afghan government while Kabul says that foreign companies are involved in major corruption.

"It makes me think there might be some Moderate Muslims worthy of living among us after all"
There are, anon. I know some who are better Americans than most of the Donks who were actually born here, and who think this jihad=killing crap is nuts.
They're just normal people. They don't care how others dress, don't care if others eat bacon or drink alcohol right next to them (I've done both); they follow their religious tenants themselves and don't worry about what others do. They think people who hate Joooos are bigoted idiots.
Yes, I think the religion they follow is a little weird, but then I say that about most religions. They have my greatest respect, because they're decent people.

[Straits Times] MEMBERS of a 700-strong crowd of far-right protesters threw bottles, stones and smoke bombs at anti-fascist demonstrators on Saturday in the ethnically-mixed English city of Bradford.
A heavy police presence swiftly contained the stand-off but the protest has raised fears of a repeat of race riots that rocked Bradford in 2001.
Members of the English Defence League (EDL) staged a 'static' demonstration in this northern city, home to one of Britain's largest Pakistani communities, against what they claim is the expansion of radical Islam in Britain.
Police said about 700 EDL members turned up, contained in a small area in the centre of Bradford after the government banned them from marching through the city amid fears of unrest.
About 250-300 people joined a rival demonstration by United Against Fascism across the road, officers said.
Despite two cordons of police, the groups briefly got near each other and EDL members threw bottles, cans, stones and a smoke bomb over the barricades. Chanting 'give us our country back' and holding signs saying 'no more mosques' and 'no to Syariah (law)', the EDL protesters were soon pushed back by police.
Saturday's demonstration is being closely watched amid concerns of a repeat of 2001, when a planned march by the far-right National Front sparked riots by local youths.

"Far-right" in this case meaning that:
1) When asked, they identify themselves as "English".
2) They prefer traditional British law to Sharia law.
3) They are not extremist, radical left-wing.
#3
"The EDL have a right to protest, yes, but we must not allow them to provoke us into violence. Unfortunately many young Asians are very angry at years of police stop and search and anti-terror laws, Islamophobia and continuing economic discrimination."
Everyone is at fault here. The government for banning a protest because opponents might cause violence, the EDL for organizing a violent confrontation with police, and the Leftists who organize their own violent counter-protest.
#4
I don't believe this media write up. The British press attacks EDL like MSNBC attacks the Tea Party, so there is little chance of finding out what really happened at an event.
In past, the EDL was peaceful, then attacked by "Asians", then the newspapers reported that it as just the opposite, barely mentioning the "Asians", or pretending them to be innocent victims. It has even taken to calling them "anti-fascists", which is probably what they call the white leftists who support the "Asians". We would call them communists.
Right now, on the EDL website, it features the story of a British Afghan war vet who was refused a beer from a store by a Muslim employee, because he was in uniform.
The EDL's response: they sent a *letter* to the store management, shown on the page. Typical polite British tone. How radical. How extremist.
For their part, the store's management profusely apologized to the soldier.
#5
EDL was set up when extremist muslims protested against Soldiers marching through Luton on their home coming parade.
They are a mixture of working class whites and ex football hooligans who are fed up with how the Pakistani muslim community are pandered to and how little the Govt is doing to stop Islamic radicalisation in Pak communties around England.
EDL see appeasement whilst the young lads of EDL want action ie their country back.

[Pak Daily Times] North Korea would answer any attack on it with a nuclear "holy war",
I wonder if the term used was jihad, crusade, or actual holy war...or if that's the interpretation of the Pakistani journalist. Totalitarian Communist types generally don't hold with the concept of holiness, after all.
the country's ambassador to Cuba said, according to official Chinese media, while the North's leader Kim Jong-il appeared to be visiting China. Ooooookay, what is it this time...
The ambassador Kwon Sung-chol made the remarks on Friday at a ceremony marking 50 years of diplomatic ties between North Korea and Cuba, the same day that Pyongyang said it was open to returning to nuclear disarmament negotiations. "If Washington and Seoul try to create a conflict on the Korean peninsula, we will respond with a holy war on the basis of our nuclear deterrent forces," Kwon said, according to China's Xinhua news agency on Saturday. "Our government will strive for the denuclearisation of the peninsula and the establishment of a lasting peace as the beginning of the reunification process of the two Koreas," said Kwon. Washington and Seoul have said Pyongyang must abandon its nuclear weapons development, but have not threatened to attack the poor and isolated North.
North Korea's number two leader, Kim Yong-nam, told visiting former US President Jimmy Carter that the reclusive state wanted to resume six-way nuclear disarmament talks, the North's state news agency said.

Oooo. Just pharting more kimchi in our general direction.
The EU is setting up a framework for the surveillance and monitoring of radical groups. The database has been officially labelled the "Instrument for compiling data and information on violent radicalisation processes."
It is a tool that can be used against to other groups as well, including political opposition for example against EU institutions. The declared goal is to prevent terrorism early by learning about the environment in which individuals become radicalized and join certain violent groups.
David Campbell Bannerman, a member of the European Parliament, noted that "this document calls for gathering, storing and using information on 'subversives' by EU and national security agencies. How are these bodies and agencies going to compile and use the information gathered," he asked.
"The aim is to exchange information and increase the amount of information 'obtained by other, non-specific means or instruments'. Does this essentially mean by any means possible?" he said. He also expressed concern that the instrument seemed to be "strongly biased against non-EU nationals, such as immigrants from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Could the Commission explain this?"
The document includes a section titled "Description of ideology supporting violence" where it attempts to categorize various ideologies into categories such as "extreme right/left, Islamist, nationalist, anti-globalisation, etc." The advantage of this should be better collaboration between the police, intelligence services and private security corporations of all 27 member states and institutions of the European Union itself.
It remains unclear if the instrument could categorize an entire religion as a violence fostering ideology, as some people, such as Geert Wilders has argued in the case of Islam. Left or right groups and individuals could be identified as a threat as well.
The German socialist party "Die Linke" issued an official request to the German government, concerned that the definitions in the legislative document are kept too vague. The answer to this concern was, that the participation, for example providing information to the database, is not mandatory for the single nations, and Germany will not take part in it.
[Iran Press] Amnesty International's new secretary general has sharply criticized the Canadian government for its "serious" human rights violations. You have to be pretty hard up as a 'human rights organization' to start citing Canada for rights abuses ...
Salil Shetty told the CIVICUS World Assembly on Citizen Participation on Monday that Amnesty International is increasingly concerned "about the serious worsening" of Canada's human rights approach.
"There is a real shrinking of democratic spaces in this country... Many organizations have lost their funding for raising inconvenient questions," AFP quoted Shetty as saying.
He also pressed Ottawa to seek the repatriation of a Canadian detainee, Omar Khadr, held at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. All this fuss over one man ...
Shetty said that the prisoner's detention was "unlawful" and that his trial, held this month before a US military tribunal, was "unjust."
Khadr was only 15 years old when he was captured by US troops in Afghanistan eight years ago. He is accused of throwing a grenade that killed an American soldier during a gun battle in 2002.

"about the serious worsening" of Canada's human rights
Well, the acts of suppressing free speech under the guise of 'hate speech' is well recorded. However, Canadians are aware of that problem and appear to be taking a tack back to real free speech.
#5
"... Many organizations have lost their funding for raising inconvenient questions ..."
If government is the only source of funding what did you expect? A free market?
"He also pressed Ottawa to seek the repatriation of a Canadian detainee, Omar Khadr ..."
Shetty thinks that Ottawa hasn't? What a Shetty thing to say.
Lets see, captured on the battlefield after killing a GI. I think that the US probably said no to Ottawa's request.

[Pak Daily Times] Three days before the official end of the US combat mission in Iraq, US President Barack Obama said on Saturday that the war in the country was "ending" and called Iraq a "sovereign" nation free to determine its own destiny. George Bush and Condi Rice ensured that Iraq got its sovereignty back in 2005. Where have you been, Bambi?
"On Tuesday, after more than seven years, the US of America will end its combat mission in Iraq and take an important step forward in responsibly ending the Iraq war," Obama said in his weekly radio address.
"As a candidate for this office, I pledged I would end this war," Obama recalled in the address. "As president, that is what I am doing. We have brought home more than 90,000 troops since I took office."
US troop numbers in Iraq fell below 50,000 last Tuesday in line with Obama's instructions as part of a "responsible draw down" of troops, seven years on from the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein.
US troop levels are now less than a third of the peak figure of around 170,000 during the US military "surge" of 2007, when Iraq was in the midst of a brutal Shia-Sunni sectarian war that cost thousands of lives.
But more than 4,400 US servicemen and women have lost their lives in this war since it began in 2003, according to an AFP count based on data from www.icasualties.org, an independent website.
According to promises given by the US president, the US combat mission in Iraq will officially end on August 31. The remaining US troops, who will have a support and training mission, are scheduled to leave the country by the end of 2011.
"But the bottom line is this, the war is ending," Obama pointed out. "Like any sovereign, independent nation, Iraq is free to chart its own course. And by the end of next year, all of our troops will be home."
The president also used his address to call on Americans to honour those who have served in Iraq by sending them messages via such social networking Internet sites as YouTube, Facebook, Flickr or Twitter.
That way, if you're a leftist, you can say "I support the troops" without having to actually meet one and catching all those icky military-cooties.

[Pak Daily Times] Ambassador to US Husain Haqqani on Saturday reassured international flood relief workers of security, saying that a large number of foreign aid providers had been able to operate safely in Pakistan in recent years.
"The government has, of course, a whole security strategy for aid workers and no aid worker has been hurt in Pakistan in the last several years," Haqqani told a US TV channel, following reports of Taliban threat against international relief workers.
He said that while every terrorist threat should be taken seriously, the Taliban "use threats, sometimes, to intimidate and dissuade people from coming (to Pakistan)". "One of their objectives, of course, is to create greater discontentment and greater unrest against a government that is democratically elected," the diplomat said.
Haqqani recalled that the Taliban militants had also issued a similar threat after the 2005 earthquake, when aid workers came to Pakistan in big numbers. "We were lucky; no one got hurt. We hope that we will be able to provide for the security of aid workers," he said.
He also underscored the fact that an overwhelming majority of Pakistanis welcomed the foreign assistance they were getting. "In fact, if anything, they want more people to come and assist them. This is a major catastrophe, 21 million people affected, 9 million children on the move," Haqqani said. "The Taliban are no doubt a very dangerous militant group, but relief work is going on smoothly," he said.

(PTI) Maoist leader Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad was shot at point-blank range by the Andhra Pradesh Police and not in an encounter, a news-magazine has claimed.
"The post-mortem conducted on the body of Maoist leader Azad categorically establishes that he was killed at close range with a handgun in a fake encounter by the Andhra Pradesh Police on July 1 at Adilabad," the Outlook news-magazine claimed in a report.
It claimed to have accessed the post-mortem report of Azad on which it sought the opinion of three experts in three different cities.
"Three leading forensic medicine and wound ballistic experts, who were given copies of Azad's post-mortem report without revealing the identity of the deceased, have come to the conclusion that the victim was shot from a distance of 7.5 cms or even less," the magazine said in a press release.

Maoist leader Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad, in better days,left
(PTI) Pakistan has refused to accept directly the Indian aid of five million dollars for its desperate flood victims and instead suggested that it be routed through the UN. If I was Manmohan Singh I'd used the money to buy beer.
Pakistan has conveyed this to India which is expected to agree to this procedure, sources said here today. Can't have any Hindoo cooties on the boodle. They might infect the rest of the money the pols are raking off.
The sources made it clear that India has no problem in routing the relief material through the UN. "It is a humanitarian crisis (being faced by Pakistan) and India has offered the aid as a goodwill gesture. The modalities of providing the assistance do not matter," a source said. Apparently they do, since the Paks have decided to be so choosy. Give some serious thought to the beer option.
On when the relief material would be sent, the sources said such aspects would be worked out when an idea is received from Pakistan as to what material they want. "The broader objective is to provide humanitarian assistance in the hour of need to Pakistan," the source said.

Israel and India should spend exactly half the money earmarked for aid on a massive advertising campaign in the local languages, leaflet dropped from helicopters if need be, that they are willing to help but that their aid is being turned away because they are joos and hindus.
the other half the money and aid let it be publicly on show as an offer to be given by Israel and India directly and NOT through the UN (which will syphon off their 20% corruption fee before Pakistani officials siphon off their 20%).
If it is refused - then build a big tragic monument to the money refused. Maybe a nice stature of some starving Pakistani family prevented from reaching a bag of food by a mullah

And now...lets all hum along with Mahmoud and The Martyrs.
(Ma'an) -- Officials and supporters of a leftist Palestinian faction gathered in Gaza City on Saturday in protest over direct negotiations with Israel "in compliance with Israel and US preconditions."
Senior Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine leader Salih Zeidan spoke at the rally, affirming his party's rejection of talks scheduled to begin on 2 September in Washington. He called on President Mahmoud Abbas to "avoid yielding" to US and Israeli pressures.
"Negotiations have no reference, nor an international framework, and they do not preserve the Palestinian people's rights," Zeidan said.
During the demonstration, marchers chanted slogans accusing both Hamas and Fatah of giving priority to their "partial interests" over Palestinian national interests, and called on Abbas and Gaza government premier Ismail Haniyeh to end rivalry between both movements "which is the origin of all troubles."
The PLO and Palestinian Authority accepted an invitation last Friday by the US to attend a peace summit in Washington to mark the relaunching of direct talks, after they were broken off 20-months ago.
Several Palestinian factions denounced the decision, with many describing the move as abandoning Palestinian rights.

[Haaretz] Chief Paleostinian negotiator Saeb Erekat rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to hold a face-to-face meeting with Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas every two weeks, Israel Radio reported on Saturday, citing an interview Erekat gave to the BBC in Arabic.
Erekat reportedly said that it was too early to determine who would meet with who, when the talks would take place and the location of the meetings.
Erekat emphasized that the most important issue in the direct peace talks, set to kick off in Washington next week, would be whether or not Netanyahu extends the freeze on settlement construction, which is scheduled to expire on September 26.
Paleostinian officials have said that a renewal of Israel settlement construction in the West Bank after the 10-month freeze would cause the direct talks to fail.
On Thursday, Netanyahu proposed to the U.S. administration that he meet with Abbas every two weeks to try to forge covert understandings and set principles to solve every issue.
"Serious negotiations in the Middle East mean only direct, quiet and consecutive talks between the two leaders on the key issues," Netanyahu said.

AaPee writer. Hardliners are conducting an internet campaign (including Facebook) to get Abu Bakar Bashir, the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) released. Naturally, the charges against him- that he set up cells to conduct Mumbai-like attacks on Western targets in Indonesia, are all lies, American plots, and what-have-you.

They say he helped set up al-Qaida in Aceh, providing funding for their military training camp in Aceh province, helping choose its leaders and keeping in regular contact with its field commanders.

those tards will let bashir out long before they let out Schapelle Corby who was an innocent victim and is now going crazy as she rots in a balinese jail cell.
Baggage handlers used people's luggage to send packets of dope from Sydney to Brisbane and around other capitals, taking it out of the bags before they were picked up by passengers. Corby's bag was accidentally used despite being an international. their little drug ring failed.
The corrupt AFP then just tried to pin it on her because they were protecting their own failures. They went after her vindictively, harmed her case.
Lie experts have looked at her testimony and said she is telling the truth - she did not know that marijuana was in her boogie board bag. It defies logic, why would you smuggle pot out of australia where it is expensive and into indonesia where it is cheap. No. the drugs flow the *other* way.
It was a mistake and she was caught. But the tards in Indonesia won't let her out.
They will let out Bashir, and he will go on to blow up some more innocent people.
[An Nahar] The Israeli newspapers Jerusalem Post and Haaretz reported on warnings the U.S. administration had directed to Lebanon of a prepared plan by the Israeli army in which it can "destroy Beirut in four hours if Hizbullah does not halt its provocations."
They said that U.S. Special Middle East Peace Envoy's Assistant Frederic Hof had recently warned Lebanese army commander General Jean Qahwaji that after the clashes at Adeisseh, Israel had devised an emergency plan that enables it to invade Lebanon and destroy its military bases in four hours.
Hof had warned Qahwaji that Israel will go through with its plan if more clashes erupt on the border.

The problem is that there is a difference between: destroying the Lebanese Army, destroying Hezbollah in Lebanon, and destroying Lebanon.
Each is more difficult than the other, especially when Israel will be taken to task by everyone if even one person not in uniform is so much as scratched.

[An Nahar] Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea wondered on Saturday why such a debate is being made over four suspects arrested in the Borj Abi Haidar clashes when "hundreds of known armed individuals took to the streets, three people were killed, several were injured, and great material losses were incurred."
He questioned the purpose of the armed group of that size's presence in the heart of Beirut, adding: "We didn't hear of the confiscation of any weapon even though hundreds of individuals were on the scene."
"It could have been an individual incident, but how do we explain how, in less than an hour, organized armed groups deployed on the streets in full combat mode," Geagea added.

He told ANB: "A Beirut devoid of weapons represents the whole nation as the weapons that burnt a mosque in Beirut should not be the arms of a Resistance."
"The weapons that fired 90 rockets in a safe zone and killed innocents cannot belong to a Resistance," he said.
Furthermore, Houri stressed that the Israeli enemy has benefited the most from the Borj Abi Haidar clashes.

[Haaretz] Israel is planning to attack Hezbollah arms depots and weapons manufacturing plants in Syria, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai reported on Saturday.
The report is based on Western sources who asserted that Israel has increased its military force level along the northern border in the Golan Heights and Mount Dov areas.
The report cited European sources who claimed that recent Israeli unmanned aerial drone flights over Lebanon and Syria signal Israel's intentions to carry out operations in the area.
According to the report, Israel plans to attack Hezbollah weapons depots, including ones deep inside Syria that store long-range rockets.
The Al Rai report said that the situation on the Israel-Syria border is tense and that Syria could respond immediately to any Israeli attack and not demonstrate the restraint that it did after the Israeli Air Force bombed a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria in the fall of 2007.
According to the report, Syria's military is on high alert and is strengthening its anti-aircraft defenses along the border with Israel and at strategic sites within Syria.

Unfortunately this family of lawyers have made a living through civil lawsuits against folks who react against them. How do you starve a beast like this?
[Haaretz] Tens of thousands of conservative activists rallied Saturday in the U.S. capital of Washington D.C. on the anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous I Have a Dream speech.
Civil rights leaders were protesting the event.
Rally organizer TV pundit Glenn Beck, who speaks to a faithful audience nightly on the conservative Fox News television network and daily on talk radio, insists it's just a coincidence that his "Restoring Honor" rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is overlapping with the 47th anniversary of King's speech.
Beck is known for his extreme views and statements. He has described Obama, the first black U.S. president, as a racist.
Speaking with Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, the participants made sure to stress how angry they were with Obama's policy regarding Israel.
"He [Obama] will get Israel nuked," said 61-year-old Victoria Nikolov from New York, who had left home at 1 a.m. in order to make it to the rally on time. "He's not doing anything to prevent [Iran from developing nuclear weapons]. I came here to protect you, even though I'm not Jewish, and to restore the constitutional republic to this country."
"I've done my research, I've read both his books" she continued. "I am confident that if he had to choose between America and Islam, he'd choose Islam. But I am afraid he might stay president, because he has the support of the press, and when the press supports a president, the people just don't get the truth."
"We are inch away from socialism. I think African Americans could make great presidents -- just other people, like Condoleezza Rice or Walter Williams," she went on to say.
Rob Arnold from Washington's Pentagon City said "You can't spend and dupe this country into oblivion and hope to get away with it."
"He [Obama] was a friend and neighbor of Louis 'suck the blood of Jews' Farrakhan. He had Jeremiah 'God damn America' Wright for his pastor. A man who is a friend of these people can't be a friend of Israel," Arnold told Haaretz.
"And he arranged peace talks in Washington?" he asked. "It's all for show. I believe that if he could, he would rather see Israel annihilated. I don't think he believes Israel belongs to the Jews. I think he sympathizes with terrorists. I believe he is an anti-Semite."
Mark DelMaestro from Phoenix, Arizona, a Vietnam war veteran, told Haaretz that "maybe he [Obama] did some good things, but the bad things he did are overwhelming."
"I don't think he represents the fulfillment of Martin Luther King's dream. He represents socialism, communism, oppression and all the things that stand against freedom. I am the man of 'God bless America' and he is a man of 'God Damn America.'"
"I am very worried about Iran, I am confident the moment they get the bomb they will drop it on Israel. Obama has to do everything possible to stop it, even the military option as a last resort. He must understand that unlike other places, we don't fight for Israel, we fight with Israel, we have the same color of soul."
Two months before nationwide Congressional elections, which could cost
U.S. President Barack Obama's Democrats their majority in the House of
Representatives and perhaps the Senate as well, Beck's rally becomes only the latest symptom of rampant political partisanship that is splitting the country and drowning out voices of moderation.
The crowd - organizers had a permit for 300,000 - was vast, with people standing shoulder to shoulder across large expanses of the Mall. The National Park Service stopped doing crowd counts in 1997 after the agency was accused of underestimating numbers for the 1995 Million Man March.
Civil rights leaders protested the event and scheduled a 3-mile (5-kilometer) plus march from a high school to the site of a planned King memorial near the Tidal Basin and not far from Beck's gathering.

Maybe it is time to take the civil rights movement away from its current owners.

"Beck is known for his extreme views and statements. He has described Obama, the first black U.S. president, as a racist."
Say what?
Glenn is speaking about restoring honor, smaller government, personal responsibility and lower taxes.
Where's the extreme part?
Yes, 0bama IS a racist
Odd that an Israeli newspaper would label a man extreme that stands so strongly with Israel.
But I guess Israel has a 5th column too, just like we do in America.

Mike H., Ha'aretz prides itself on being the New York Times of Israel... with all that entails. One of their reporters was recently arrested for pulling a Wikileaks --thousands of IDF documents were involved.

Yes, there is a possibility that BHO will get Israel or the U.S. nuked. Yes, he does exhibit racism. If the liberals did not try to throw out the Constitution and upheld it, rights would be guaranteed for all citizens.

IMO unless somebody does something really stupid, THE REAL THREAT FROM A NUC IRAN STEMS FROM POST-2012 "ASYMMETRIC" NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM", aka NUC RADICALISM, EXTREMISM, etc., via the spread of ADVANC NUC/MILTECHS to various Islamist + other International Militant Groups.
Short of TECH + WEAPS, ETC. TRANSFERS from ANTI-US GOVTS-STATES, its going to take time for Iran to dev its own indigenous NUC ARSENALS JUST TO ACHIEVE PARITY OR "SUFFICIENCY-OF-SCALE" FOR DETRRENCE PURPOSES, LET ALONE SUPERIORITY, ESPEC AGZ ANY LT IMPROVEMENTS IN US GMD-TMD.
IMO iff ISLAMIST IRAN + other "ROGUE STATES" are ina rush to achieve "Great Power" status vee already established WOrld-Nuc Powers, then IMO THE IRAN + "ROGUES" WILL WANT THE MILITANT GROUPS TO GO NUCLEAR ASAP IN ORDER TO DESTABILZ + WEAKEN THE LATTER RELATIVE TO THEMSELVES.
"GREAT GAME" + GEOPOL DIALECTICISM = "WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS, STRENGTH IS STRENGTH" IRREGARDLESS IFF FROM A LOYAL ALLY OR A HATED ENEMY.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.

The EU is setting up a framework for the surveillance and monitoring of radical groups. The database has been officially labelled the "Instrument for compiling data and information on violent radicalisation processes."
(PTI) Pakistan has refused to accept directly the Indian aid of five million dollars for its desperate flood victims and instead suggested that it be routed through the UN.
