Karzai Says bin Laden Not in Afghanistan
-Full Story-

President Hamid Karzai has insisted that Osama bin Laden is not in his country, in the latest installment in a row with the leader of Pakistan who says the Al-Qaeda chief is in Afghanistan.

Other militant leaders including Islamist warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar were also not in the country, Karzai told reporters in a briefing about his visit to the United States that was overshadowed by the spat.

'I can assure you they are not in Afghanistan,' Karzai said yesterday after being asked for his reaction to comments by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf who said Thursday that bin Laden is here.

I hear you, but at least you would be on record.

If she seems to be pan-handling in the same area, you could drop off some food for the babe. I never give cash, but I've bought plenty of meals - especially back when I used to work in the city.

Keep us posted.

[Quix]

Yup. Truly Interesting times in the true Chinese sense of it.

[Velveeta]

>>>they would probably bollox the whole thing

Not necessarily, if you present it as concern for the child.
Actually, the Department of Children and Family Services might be a good route too as they have to investigate. You CAN remain anonymous.

2 more schools locked down in Las Vegas. Reports via Fox are saying a student was spotted with a semi automatic weapon CLOSE to the school.

snip:
Mohave High and Elizonda Elementary schools are in lock down as school police search for a student who may be carrying a weapon.

The lock down went into effect after 7 a.m. when school police say they saw they observed a student who may be armed. The student is not on school property. North Las Vegas police are searching a nearby neighborhood and apartment complex near Commerce and Lone Mountain.

That settles it, be on bright orange alert tomorrow.
That's why I love TM.

[Velveeta]

Unreal.
I'm watching now on FOX.

[KylaStarr]

When I first heard the news about this latest incident, I hoped that I was dreaming.

..sigh

As you said, this is just unreal.

[KylaStarr]

Oh man. I just heard on FOX news that there was ANOTHER shooting near or at a school in Pennsylvania. I can not find a link yet but I believe the school is in Lancaster county, perhaps a town named Paradise but I am not sure.

.. taking a break for a bit as this is just too much

Paradise School Shooting:

"There are a number of people dead. ... The exact number I do not know yet," state police Cpl. Ralph Striebig said.

The person who fired the shots was among those killed, Striebig said.

At least 12 ambulances and four medical helicopters were dispatched to the scene.

Authorities say several victims were taken to area hospitals. The ages, conditions and exact number of victims were not immediately available.

A spokesperson from Lancaster General Hospital said they received three patients and have requested all available personnel to report to duty.

Hershey Medical Center said they received at least one patient and are on standby to receive other victims with serious injuries.

A web site states the Wolf Rock School, in the village of Nickel Mines, has a total student body of 27 and is classified as a coed religious school of Amish Association.

Prayers going up for all involved..the children...the families...the first responders...the doctors. May the power of the Holy Spirit watch over them and give them comfort.

".. taking a break for a bit as this is just too much"

I have had the same feelings of late...it there more incidents of incomprehensible violence in the world these days...or is our technology and ability to hear about everything within minutes making it seem that way?! The violence and mayhem seem to me to be off the charts.

[Rushmore Rocks]

I just read a series of books about Amish life by Beverly Lewis. The setting was in Paradise, PA.

This is so shocking to me.
