Somalia slips ever backwards
Hundreds of civilians have died in fighting in
Mogadishu - further proof that last year's
US-backed Ethiopian invasion did more harm than good.
Predictions that the US-backed Ethiopian invasion
of Somalia last Christmas would hasten rather
than halt the country's political disintegration
are proving grimly accurate. In the league of
failed states, Somalia is runaway leader. With
international attention focused on Zimbabwe and
Darfur, it is the hidden shame of the world.
More than 1,000 civilians have been killed or
wounded in recent fighting in the capital,
Mogadishu, and tens of thousands have fled their
homes. The UN says wounded civilians are lying
untended in the streets after heavy artillery and
mortars pounded residential areas. Since
February, 96,000 refugees have swelled the ranks
of Somalia's 400,000 internally displaced
persons. And despite a temporary truce today, it
seems likely that worse is to come.

400 Die in Mogadishu's Worst Fighting in 15 years
Ethiopian tanks, artillery and helicopter
gunships have fought against guerillas armed with
machine guns, missiles and rocket-propelled
grenades. The guerrilla forces comprise fighters
allied to the Somali Council of Islamic Courts
and clan militias who are opposed to the
transitional government and the Ethiopian occupation.

Clashes in Somalia kill 381 in 4 days
Four days of fierce fighting between
Ethiopian-backed government forces and Islamic
insurgents has killed 381 people, a local human
rights organization said Monday, as the
government warned residents to abandon their
homes ahead of a new military offensive.

Tall Afar.
Shii Turkoman Council in al-Mawsil says Kurdish
parties carried out 27 March bombings of
civilians in Tall Afar, sparking retaliatory massacre later that night.
In a dispatch posted at p12:11pm Baghdad time
midday Monday, the Association of Muslim Scholars
of Iraq (AMSI) reported that the Shii Turkoman
Council, one of the more important Turkoman
parties in al-Mawsil, has issued a statement
blaming the pro-American Kurdish separatists
leadership for carrying out the bombings of
civilian targets in Tall Afar on Tuesday, 27
March. Those bombings killed some 70 people and
prompted pro-Iranian Shii sectarians to massacre over 70 Sunnis in reprisal.
AMSI reported the Turkoman Shii Council as
saying that the bombings served the interests of
the Kurdish movement that aspires to steal what
it called the Turkoman area of Tall Afar.
Demonstrators who took to the streets after the
Tuesday bombings placed blame for the atrocities
directly on the Kurdish separatist leaders and
their American military backers, saying that it
was they who let the explosives-laden truck to
pass and then detonated it by remote control
maintaining that there was no suicide driver as
the news media widely reported.
The Turkoman statement denounced the Kurdish
separatist militia, the Peshmergah, saying that
Peshmergah gunmen prevented puppet police from
stopping and inspecting the truck bomb.
The Council also denounced the fact that some
Shii parties were ignoring testimony about this
evidence out of partisan motives.

Scholars file challenges to NIST reports on 9/11

Madison, WI (PRWEB) March 30, 2007 - Some members
of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a non-partisan
organization of students, experts and scholars
dedicated to exposing falsehoods and revealing
truths about 9/11, have filed complaints against
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology for legal defects in its studies of
events of 9/11 involving the Twin Towers and
Building 7. James H. Fetzer, the society's
founder, believes these actions have the
potential to break the back of the cover-up that has enveloped these events.
"It would be nice if the government would tell us
the truth about our own history," Fetzer said.
"But all we get from the President, the Vice
President, the Secretary of State and former
Secretary of Defense is a 'song and dance' that
keeps the American people in ignorance." The
complaints have been filed by Ed Hass, who edits
The Muckraker Report; Morgan Reynolds, past Chief
Economist in the Department of Labor in the Bush
administration; and Judy Wood, former professor
of mechanical engineering at Clemson University.
Reynolds and Wood are both members of the society.

UK Issued Two Different Coordinates for Gulf Incident
The UK Ministry of Defence website still contains
their widely quoted press release, issued on the
28th March, which attempts to clearly establish
that the arrest of the fifteen British sailors
and marines by Iran took place in Iraqi waters.
Unfortunately for the MOD, it appears that they
have used two different sets of position
coordinates to fix the site of the incident. One
of these coordinates is quoted in the text (para
4), another is pictured in their photograph taken
from a helicoptor. Furthermore, the data was
presented in the same press briefing. Assuming
that both sets of data were expressed using the
same coordinate system this is, at the least, an embarrassing over sight.
It can be observed that the coordinates on the
Garmin GPS handset photo on the MOD site are
different from the coordinates quoted in the text
of the same press release (N 29 50.174 vs. N
2950.36 and E 48 43.544 vs. E 48 43.08).

"American project is bankrupted in Iraq and the
victory is very near" told in the letter.

Jenin Massacres, 5th Anniversary
As part of the Palestinian history, Jenin had a
role in the national struggle starting with the
Romans and ending with the Zionist occupation.
Israel has exploited the situation and atmosphere
created after September 11 to intensify its
aggression against Palestinians in general and
those of Jenin in Particular. Thus, remorseless
massacre committed in Jenin in front of the whole
world targeted everything even trees and houses,
causing many dead and a few wounded, so what does this mean?
