Taliban Stone Couple for Adultery in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Taliban militants stoned a young couple to death for adultery after they ran away from their families in northern Afghanistan, officials said Monday. Amnesty International said it was the first confirming stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. The Taliban-ordered killing comes at a time when international rights groups have raised worries that attempts to negotiate with the Taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan could mean a step backward for human rights in the country. When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations ...

(RTTNews) - The United States has warned Turkey that its position on Israel and Iran could jeopardize its chances of obtaining American weapons, a British news report said on Monday. President Barack Obama is reported to have told Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan when he met the latter at the G20 summit in Toronto that Ankara had failed to act as an ally after it voted against fourth round of sanctions against Iran, which the U.N. Security Council adopted on June 9, the Financial Times said quoting an unidentified administration official. Ankara had then argued that Tehran should be given a chance to carry out a nuclear fuel-swap deal, which was brokered by Turkey and Brazil. ...
Pentagon: China's Military Power Growing

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon says China's military power is on the rise as it pursues more land-based missiles and attack submarines, and that the secrecy of its drive increases the risk of miscalculation. The annual military assessment was released Monday. It comes at a time of strained U.S. relations with Beijing. This year, the two countries have been at odds on whether North Korea attacked a South Korean warship and how to settle China's longtime dispute with Taiwan. The Pentagon report says Beijing is actively pursuing ways to prevent the U.S. from intervening in a potential conflict with Taiwan. The report also says the country's secrecy about its military program ...

China, whose $2.45 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves are the world’s largest, is turning bullish on Europe and Japan at the expense of the U.S. The nation has been buying “quite a lot” of European bonds, said Yu Yongding, a former adviser to the People’s Bank of China who was part of a foreign-policy advisory committee that visited France, Spain and Germany from June 20 to July 2. Japan’s Ministry of Finance said Aug. 9 that China bought 1.73 trillion yen ($20.1 billion) more Japanese debt than it sold in the first half of 2010, the fastest pace of purchases in at least five years. “Diversification should be a basic principle,” Yu said in an ...

August 16, 2010 As we explained in the last issue that when GDP figures are again revised we would find 2nd quarter GDP growth was really 1.3% to 1.5%, not 2.4% revised down from 3.7%. This experience points out the really bogus nature of government statistics. Several months ago we projected that without QE the economy in the 3rd quarter would result in 1% growth and minus 1% in the 4th quarter. Insiders on wall Street knew months ago that we’d get QE, which was announced on Wednesday by the FOMC and that is why they projected GDP growth for the 2nd half of 1-1/2%. We project zero to 1%. Even with a $5 trillion injection over the next two years by the Fed, we can only project ...

Published: 2:57PM BST 16 Aug 2010 Mr Gates said that American troops would start to pull out on schedule in July 2011 as he confirmed that he would leave office next year, once the drawdown was on track. The remarks came just a day after Gen David Petraeus had said he reserved the right to advise a delay if the fighting was not going well.

The figures underscore China's emergence as an economic power that is changing everything from the global balance of military and financial power to how cars are designed.

The Pentagon has said that secret information will be even more damaging to security and risk more lives than WikiLeaks' initial release of some 76,000 war documents.

The S-300 missile system bolstered Moscow's military presence in the disputed territory and drew an angry response from Georgia. General Alexander Zelin, the commander of Russia's air force, said that air defenses of other types had been deployed in Georgia's other Russian-backed rebel region, South Ossetia.

OAKLAND -- A former Catholic priest living in Alameda is facing extradition to Ireland, where he faces 10 separate cases of sexual abuse dating to the early 1970s.

August 12, 2010 JERUSALEM: Iran has promised Lebanese officials that it will make up any shortfall left by a US decision to suspend $US100 million ($110 million) worth of military aid to Lebanon. Direct Iranian military aid to Lebanon would exacerbate tensions along the Israeli-Lebanese border that erupted last week when a Lebanese Army sniper killed an Israeli officer involved in a brush-clearing operation. Israeli troops responded, killing two Lebanese soldiers and one Lebanese journalist. The clash, the worst since Israel's 2006 war against Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite movement that controls southern Lebanon, has revived fears that Hezbollah has infiltrated the Lebanese ...

For decades, the Persian Gulf region - subsumed under a latent Sunni-Shi'ite divide - was animated by a drama of Iraq-Iran rivalry; each power balanced the other. The elimination of Saddam Hussein, by the 2003 United States invasion of Iraq, introduced a new chapter in the regional affairs - Saudi Arabia and Iran as the twin pillars of the regional power-configuration. Historically, despite numerous efforts by each party to improve bilateral relations and deepen cooperation, Iran-Saudi relations have been fraught with intermittent rhetorical wars and grim strategic competition. In the past decade, Iraq, Lebanon, occupied Palestine, Afghanistan and Yemen have served as a chessboard for ...
