Attrocious.
I dont know of anyone.
I don't either. The ruling defies common sense and logic. Persistance is known to be a terrorism precursor. Sooner or later every structure (no matter where located) is potentially vulnerable. Affixing the smallest denominator of responsibility to the terrorist(s) is mind-boggling IMHO.
Yep and heartbreaking, too.
BIG DITTO.
I don’t usually claim that history is repeating itself, but I’m really getting a feeling that we’re all getting more of a taste of life in the 1760’s every time we look at the “news”.
Some of these so-called judges don’t act like they’re even in the same galaxy with us mere serfs.

Robert Mugabe’s thugs turn to burning people alive
Times (UK) ^ | Jun 10, 2008 | Jan Raath
Posted on June 10, 2008 6:14:03 AM PDT by decimon
For a wad of worthless Zimbabwean banknotes President Mugabes militias burnt six-year-old Nyasha Mashoko to death. The target of the Zanu PF thugs had been the boys father, Brian Mamhova. They came for him on Friday night - three truckloads of them, plus a Mercedes Benz from which alighted three armed men in suits, Mr Mamhova said. The militiamen had been promised Z$25 trillion (£12,500) to kill him, which seems a high price on the head of a district councillor but which is no problem for a Government that sees printing money as the best way out of a crisis. Mr Mamhova was elected a councillor for the MDC in elections on March 29 for the Harare South district council, an area of farms and rundown houses on the outskirts of the capital, close to Harare airport. At 8pm on Friday Mr Mamhova was asleep. His wife, Pamela Pasvani, 21, his son, Nyasha, his younger brother and a nephew were in an adjoining room. “They [the militiamen] got in the room where I was and they were searching me against the wall,” he said. He managed to break free from the men holding them and slipped past the others in the darkness. He stopped running when he was 100 metres away, and hid behind a bush. “They were running past me,” he said, and he heard them muttering that they were about to lose their bounty. “They locked the door where my wife was. They smashed the windows and threw petrol inside. Then they lit it,” he said.
“Inside the house, my young brother broke the door. I thank God, otherwise they would be burnt, all of them. He took my nephew out of the room. Then he went back into the room and he took my wife, but it was late. She got 80 per cent burnt. My son was burnt to pieces.” “Then they beat everybody there, my neighbours, everyone. Many of them are in Chitungwiza hospital [the nearest state hospital] now.” His brother and his nephew escaped with minor burns. “I am in a hidden place now. They are hunting me. They are saying they want to kill me. It is terrible.” The perpetrators of such crimes act with impunity, he said. “When they did this, they were led by their local Zanu PF chairman. He lives close to our place. All of them are still there, now.” Mr Mamhova was left with only the shorts he was wearing. “Everything was burnt. There is nothing left. The clothes, the blankets, the food, all burnt. Somebody gave me some clothes.” His wife died on Saturday in ward C6 of the burns unit of Harare hospital. “No one survives more than 50 per cent burns,” a doctor there said. She was 18 weeks pregnant.
The terror tactic of burning people alive has been little used by Zanu PF in recent years but seems to be being revived. Last Wednesday, in the village of Jerera in Zaka district in the southeast of the country, a group of gunmen described as being in riot police uniform broke into an MDC office and fired on six people. Then they poured petrol over them and set them ablaze. Two died in the fire. A photograph of one of them, published in a local independent newspaper, was remarkably like the picture of one of the charred victims of the xenophobic violence in Johannesburg two weeks ago. Two others are in Harare hospital with 30 and 40 per cent burns respectively. The remaining two have disappeared. In 1963, when the black nationalist movement fighting against the white minority Rhodesian Government split, youths on either side of the divide locked people in their houses in urban townships and threw petrol bombs inside. The leader of the youth wing of one faction - the newly formed Zanu, forerunner to Zanu PF - was a young school teacher named Robert Mugabe. “If you look back at the methods of Zanu PF since it was formed, the only one who was there from that time is the President,” Willas Madzimure, a Harare MP, said. “Which means he knows exactly how to do it.”

The jet which originated in Damascus, Syria, and was flying from Amman, Jordan was landing in heavy rains and thunderstorms. The plane already had tried to land at the Khartoum Airport once, but wasn’t able to due to the weather.”

“White British Converts to Islam Pose Suicide-Bombing Threat in UK”
By James Brandon
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Until recently, the idea of white British converts to Islam carrying out suicide bomb attacks in towns in Englands quiet, rural southwest would have been dismissed as fiction or fantasy. However, in the last two months two such attempts appear to have failed. In April, police raided a teenaged converts flat in Bristol, finding two suicide-bomb vests under construction. Just over a month later, in May, another young convert was arrested after he unsuccessfully attempted to detonate three bombs in a crowded restaurant in Exeter, Devon. In the same month, a court in London found another white English convert guilty of inciting terrorism. An examination of the three ndividuals illustrates several important trends.”

Report: Palestinian militants to step up rocket fire before lull sets it
Published: 06.10.08, 13:16 / Israel News
A Palestinian source in Gaza told Ynet Tuesday that the Gaza militant groups have increased the rocket fire towards Israel in order to “prove that the Palestinians are not the only ones interested in a truce.”
Each of the groups in Gaza wants to be the one to have fired the most rockets at Israel before the lull sets in, added the source. (Ali Waked)
