“Russia bus blast suspect ‘found’”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Russian officials say they have identified a suspect in Wednesday’s blast on a bus that killed eight people in the southern city of Togliatti.

He said aluminium wire and nails similar to the device used on the bus had been found at the suspect’s home.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “More than 50 people were treated for burns and shrapnel wounds.
It was the second blast on a bus in Russia in just over a week, following an explosion in the Dagestan region.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) - An international organization supporting Christian minorities in Islamic societies has launched a new campaign to draw attention to the plight of Iraq’s Christians, a community which it says “faces extinction.”
The U.K.-based Barnabas Fund, a charitable and advocacy group, said this week that Islamic extremists in Iraq are telling Christians to convert, leave or face death.”

Muslims Demolish Three Christians’ Houses in Pakistani Village
By Sheraz Khurram Khan
Special Correspondent for ASSIST News Service in Pakistan
Christians condemn demolition of their houses
KASUR, LAHORE, PAKISTAN (ANS) — Muslim residents of a Pakistani village demolished the homes of three Christians recently.
The Muslims, residents of a Pakistani village in the province of Punjab, claimed that the Christians had constructed their houses on a land which had been allocated for a Muslim graveyard.
Police, who arrived at the scene after an unidentified caller called them, arrested a number of Muslims who were demolishing the Christians’ homes.
James Masih, a Christian resident of the village, told the Sharing Life Ministry that some Muslims compounded the issue by making an announcement on Oct. 19 after Friday prayers through the village mosque’s loudspeaker.
Views of demolished houses
About 80 Muslims riding tractors and other vehicles headed to the Christians’ houses. The alleged perpetrators, most of whom were allegedly armed with weapons, then started demolishing the homes. They also allegedly desecrated Christians literature.
According to the Sharing Life Ministry, the Muslim residents of the village claimed that the Christians had constructed houses on the land which was assigned for their graveyard. The Christian residents of the village, however, told the ministry that they were the legal owners of the land that had been given to them by former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 1995.
Ministry official Sohail Johnson told ASSIST that while the mosque announcement “helps” Muslim perpetrators, it magnifies greatly the potential damage to the Christians. He was referring to the emotional reaction that such an announcement evokes from Muslims. Christians have been living in the Lobana village for 35 years, Johnson said.
Sohail Johnson is talking to the Christian villagers
Johnson said he had been told by a Christian lady, “Muslims threatened to raze our houses after they have served their terms in prison. They are very powerful people. They often brandish their weapons and open fire into the air and that leaves our kids scared.”
Some Muslim residents of the village told Sharing Life Ministry that they also condemned the destruction of Christian-owned houses by Muslims.
At the time of Pakistan’s 1947 independence, there were over 50 Christian villages but their number decreased considerably over the years as Christians sold their lands. Christian villagers in predominantly Muslim villages are mostly landless, and often face persecution by Muslim landowners.

“Al-Sharq Al-Awsat Editor: After U.S. Withdrawal, Gulf Will Be ‘Under the Siege of the Islamic Revolution and Under the Pressure of Syrian Meddling’”
SNIPPET: “In an editorial titled “[The] American Withdrawal and the Second Stage,” published October 9, 2007 in Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, editor Tariq Alhomayed warned of what might happen after the U.S. withdraws its forces from Iraq. He argued that Iraq would be taken over by Iran and Syria, which are seeking to dominate the Middle East, and that the result would be the spread of extremism and violence throughout the region.
The following are excerpts from the article, as it appeared in the English edition of Al-Sharq Al-Awsat”

Justice lawyers have objected to the affiliation with ISNA, fearing it will undermine the case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in Dallas.") (August 27, 2007)

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Dr. Ken LeDez, the physician in charge of hyperbaric medicine at Eastern Health, says there’s no question that it was carbon monoxide.
Twenty-one people were overcome by fumes and had to be taken to hospital during the training exercise, which involved a lifeboat from the Marine Atlantic ferry Leif Ericsson.
Officials with the TSB say they have not been able to determine definitively that carbon monoxide was to blame.”
