Congressman's trip tied to group U.S. considers terrorists
Chicago Tribune ^ | Published August 23, 2006, 10:01 PM CDT | By Andrew Zajac and Mike Dorning

WASHINGTON -- Chicago congressman Danny Davis and an aide took a trip to Sri Lanka last year that was paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers, law enforcement sources said.
Davis' seven-day trip came under new scrutiny this week following the arrests of 11 supporters of the organization on charges of participating in a broad conspiracy to support the terrorist group through money laundering, arms procurement and bribery of U.S. officials.
The five-term Democratic congressman said he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip and on his required congressional disclosure form he reported that the trip was paid for by a Hickory Hills-based Tamil cultural organization, the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America.

10 British Tourists Hurt By Bombs In Turkey

10 British tourists hurt by bombs in Turkey
By Stephanie Condron and James Burleigh
(Filed: 28/08/2006)
Ten Britons were injured last night in a series of bomb explosions in the Turkish Mediterranean holiday resort of Marmaris. Another bomb exploded in Istanbul. In all 22 people were hurt.
All 10 Britons were taken to hospital and four were said to be in a serious condition.
It is believed that at least one of the Marmaris bombs went off on one of the many dolmuses - minibuses that serve as a taxi service for holidaymakers.
Residents said one exploded near a McDonald's restaurant, another outside a bank and a third in a nearby village.
"My friends phoned me to tell me they had heard big bombs and some people are dead and a lot of people are hurt," a hotelier said.
A British tourist, Rob Laughton, was having dinner at a restaurant in the middle of Marmaris with his wife Susan and friends when they heard a huge explosion. He said that they ran out of the restaurant and "saw a bus with bodies lying around it. We thought: we just don't want to be here. We just ran away." Mr Laughton, 41, who works for a catering firm, and his wife, 46, from Chiswick, west London, had been on holiday in Marmaris for two and a half weeks.
Another holidaymaker, Danielle Pearson, said: "The town was very busy with lots of people just enjoying themselves.
"Suddenly we got calls saying a bus had exploded outside McDonald's. We saw the remains of one bus and there was debris everywhere.
"People were running in all directions and there were ambulances and police cars racing around."
Jill Thornton, of Consett, Co Durham, said her son, Daniel, had telephoned her at home to say that he had been walking in Marmaris with his girlfriend, Laura Stalker, when he saw the result of one of the explosions.
She said that Daniel had told her that he had heard reports that a second explosion had taken place on a bus travelling to the nearby fishing village of Icmeler. Mrs Thornton said: "He has seen one of the buses which has blown up, but he heard that there were three.
"He is only 19 and his girlfriend is only 17. I am panicking. His girlfriend was very upset. Her parents are out there too."
The Istanbul explosion was said to have been caused by a package bomb. The city's police chief, Cemalettin Cerrah, said the device was left beside a school in the Bagcilar district in the city's European quarter.
People with relatives or friends in Maramaris or Istanbul can telephone the Foreign Office emergency helpline on 0207 008 0000.

Tehran Tests Missile That Evades Radar
Arab News ^ | August 28, 2006 | Reuters
Posted on 08/27/2006 11:13:25 PM PDT by tessalu
TEHRAN, 28 August 2006 — Iran test-fired a long-range, radar-evading missile yesterday from a submarine in the Gulf as part of war games that began earlier this month, state television reported.
The missile was called Sagheb, which means piercing, but the report did not give the missile’s range.
“Minutes ago it was launched from a submarine in the Gulf and it hit the target,” television reported. Western nations have been watching developments in Iran’s missile capabilities with concern amid a standoff over the country’s nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at building atomic bombs. Iran says the program is only civilian.
Iran’s military also held war games in the Gulf in April. Those exercises were interpreted by analysts as a thinly veiled threat that Iran could disrupt vital oil shipping lanes if pushed by an escalation in the nuclear dispute. A navy admiral, named only as Kouchaki, told state television the missile had been designed and produced in Iran. “It can be installed and launched by Iran’s Navy. It is a long-range missile, with a very high speed and destructive power. It is also radar evading,” he said.
The Islamic Republic has three aging Kilo class diesel-electric Russian submarines and also builds midget submarines. The Sagheb is listed as an air defense missile by the Nuclear Threat Initiative website (www.nti.org).

PRISTINA, Kosovo, Serbia -- Nine people -- including a British UNMIK policeman, a Dutch woman and two Serbs -- were injured when a hand grenade exploded in a café in the Serb quarter of Kosovska Mitrovica on Saturday (26 August). Police have reported that a suspect was arrested -- according to unofficial reports, he was an ethnic Albanian teenager. Hundreds of Serbs staged a protest at the bridge which divides the Serb and ethnic Albanian parts of the city after the blast. (Reuters, BBC – 27/08/06; Tanjug, B92 - 26/08/06)

"TBN cancels 2nd show for criticism of Islam
Producers of 'Zola Levitt Presents' claim Christian network caters to Arab nations"
Posted: August 28, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""Zola Levitt Presents," a long-running, issue-oriented weekly TV program often critical of the jihadist ideology within Islam, has been canceled by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, producers says, because of efforts by TBN to cater to its growing audience in the Arab world.
Though spokesmen for TBN were unavailable over the weekend for comment, the cancellation, effective today, would make it the second long-time program scrubbed by the largest Christian broadcaster because of sensitivities about Muslim content.
In January of this year, Hal Lindsey's "The International Intelligence Briefing," notified TBN he would not be back because of what considered to be efforts to muzzle his opinions about radical Islam.
Lindsey, author of "The Late Great Planet Earth" and considered to be the biggest selling author alive today and a weekly columnist for WND, had anchored the program for the last 12 years on the world's largest Christian network."

"District Threatens Prosecution Over Immunizations"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON (AP) - District officials are warning parents that they could face criminal prosecution if their school aged children don't keep their immunizations updated."
Meanwhile, UNIFIL posted not a single item of specific intelligence regarding Hezbollah forces. Statements on the order of Hezbollah "fired rockets in large numbers from various locations" and Hezbollah's rockets "were fired in significantly larger numbers from various locations" are as precise as its coverage of the other side ever got."
Astounding. Such idiots.
