Iran Develops New Battlefield Control System

Iran Develops New Battlefield Control System:

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian Armed Forces have developed a new system, named 'Nama', which helps commanders monitor and control the battle ground from inside their moving vehicle, a senior commander announced on Wednesday.

"Project Nama is the latest achievement of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base in the field of battlefield command by means of which commanders can monitor the battle ground from inside a moving vehicle," Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli said.

He said the previous systems made commanders monitor the battlefield from the command center, which could be tracked and destroyed by the enemies very easily. "But by using Nama, the commander of a goven (war) zone can control all missile and cannon systems and (therefore) the speed and precision of the commander's decision-making will increase considerably."

In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.

Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan underlined in August that he is determined to enhance the country’s defense capabilities during his tenure in a bid to defend the country against possible foreign threats.

Brigadier General Dehqan made the pledge in his message issued on the occasion of the Defense Industry Day.

“Upgrading defense capabilities and deterrence power (of the country) to defend the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interests and security, exercising effective confrontation against foreign threats, and establishing a regional balance constitute the roadmap of the Islamic Republic’s defense industry movement till reaching the desired destination,” Dehqan said in a statement.

Dehqan termed the Iranian defense industries as a symbol of power, might, progress and self-sufficiency of the Islamic Republic.

 

Indonesia: Sampang Sunni, Shia Muslims Sign Peace Agreement:

Indonesia: Sampang Sunni, Shia Muslims Sign Peace Agreement:

As many as 50 people representing the Sampang Sunni community on Monday signed a peace agreement with their Shia neighbors, who are currently sheltering in low-cost apartments in Sidoarjo, East Java, after being relocated from the regency following prolonged conflict between the two sects. They met with around 40 representatives from the Shia group who had been forced by the East Java government to live there.

“We want to forgive each other. We are tired of being in conflict. We cannot stand to see our brothers living in the evacuation camp. Inshaallah [God willing], all residents are ready to welcome them back,” Saningwar, a resident of Bluuran village in Sampang, told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

He said the peace agreement was purely an initiative from Sampang residents without any coercion. He added that almost all residents had wanted to witness the signing of the agreement but they were unable to do so due to transportation difficulties.

The conflict between the two groups reached its peak on Aug.27, 2012, after dozens of houses belonging to Shia followers were burned by angry mobs.

Among the Sunni followers was Zainul, a farmer who joined the attack on Shiites in Sampang in August last year. Two people died in the assault, including Zainul’s adoptive father, a Shiite named Hamama.

When the peace declaration was about to begin, Zainul approached the Shia representative.

“I want to meet my adoptive mom,” he whispered.

His adoptive mother, only known as Ibu Hamama (Mrs. Hamama), showed up.

“In front of everybody there, Zainul embraced his mother. They cried together,” Hertasning Ichlas, a lawyer for Shia refugees told the Jakarta Globe on Tuesday. “Those who witnessed it were moved and cried as well.”

Mrs. Hamama decided to forgive Zainul for joining the attack that killed her husband.

Hamzah, a religious figure in Madura, who initiated the peace declaration, led the event.

“We’re all Muslims, we should love each other,” Hamzah said, as quoted by Aan Anshori, the coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Islamic Network (JIAD) who witnessed the event.

Aan said Saningwar, a Sunni follower who joined the attack, gave a speech representing other Sunni followers. He said that he was provoked to attack the Shiites, and he wanted to start anew. After saying that he felt sorry for what they had done, Saningwar could not hold his tears and he was unable to continue his speech.

On Tuesday Saningwar told the Jakarta Globe that he cried because he felt sorry for causing trouble for the Shiites, of whom many are relatives.

“I feel so sorry to see the children, my brothers to live in that condition,” Saningwar said. “I’m feeling so remorseful.”

Mohjahro, the coordinator of the Sunni group who visited the relocated Shia followers in Sidoarjo, said he hoped the initiative would garner full support from the Sampang administration, residents and clerics.

Saningwar said Sunni residents had always wanted to initiate a peace agreement with their Shia neighbors. However, he said, they feared that their advances would be rejected.

A coordinator of the Shia group, Iklil Al Milal, said the Shia followers welcomed the peace agreement. “We’ve already agreed to end the conflict. There will be no revenge for what we have suffered. Brotherhood is everything to us,” said Iklil.

A long way to peace

The conflict, which started as sibling rivalry between Shia leader Tajul Muluk and Roisul Hukama, a Sunni, broke out in August 2012. Many Shiites lost their homes that were set on fire by the attackers. They were forced to live as refugees in the Sampang sport center. But this year, under pressure by some intolerant groups, they were forced to move outside Sampang district and live in the Puspo Argo apartments, far away from their hometown.

During the process, both camps tried to reconcile, especially after many Sunni followers visited their Shia relatives in the sport center and in the apartment.

After being criticized for the government’s inability to solve this case, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Aug. 1 led a meeting involving authorities and representatives from both sides. In the meeting, Yudhoyono told related authorities to mediate the conflict and return the displaced Shiites to their hometown by Idul Fitri or at the latest by December this year.

While there had not been any progress on the plan for the Shiites to return to their homes, two Shiites — Nurkholis and Islami — were forced to leave their hometown two weeks after the president’s meeting because they refused to sign a document stating that they agreed to convert to Sunni Islam upon their own conscience as requested by local leaders.

“They wanted us to sign a letter stating that we want to return to the ‘right’ Islamic teaching on our own will, or [accept that] people would burn my house and kill me,” Nurkholis told the Jakarta Globe.

But it did not stop the grassroots effort to continue finding a solution. The effort has intensified in the past two months.

“They admitted that they had been tired of being provoked every week,” Hertasning said. “They finally came to realize that this is only a political game, not a religious issue. They realize that reconciliation is the right Islamic way to solve it.”

A road heading home

Saningwar expected that after the declaration, the government would help the displaced Shiites to return to their hometown.

“The reconciliation process has long been started,” Saningwar said. “We indeed needed time to set our heart to receive them back. We’re sorry for what we did. If they want to return, there’s no term or condition for them, let alone forcing them to convert to Sunni.”

The declaration read by Sunni followers stated that “we have been tired with the animosity and we’re ready to live side by side, respect and love each other as taught by our esteemed Prophet Muhammad.”

Sunni followers also pledged that should future problems arise between Sunni and Shia, it would be solved in a peaceful manner, not by violence. The declaration was signed by 73 Sunni followers.

The Shiites also read a declaration stating that they were ready to live side by side as family and neighbors harmoniously. Iklil, a religious figure, said before the declaration “to let bygones be bygones” and to start a new life.

“Hereby, we declare to wipe off revenge and bury the hatred that might ever exist to anyone in our hometown in Omben and Karang Penang subdistricts,” Iklil said, with his voice trembling and his hands shaking. “We will not sue anyone related to the past violence and will prioritize a peaceful solution.”

Herstaning said the displaced Shiites had longed to return to their hometown and willingly agreed not to retaliate despite their homes having been destroyed by fire and their livelihoods lost.

“People from the [Sunni] village will together find a way to return the refugees,” Hertasning said. “They are optimistic that it won’t be long because they will ask the Shiites to go home themselves, be it with the government’s help or not.”

The Shiites and Sunnis followers went home after they embraced each other.

Severe Discrimination Against Malaysian Minorities: 16 Arrested for Allegedly Spreading Shia Teachings

Severe Discrimination Against Malaysian Minorities: 16 Arrested for Allegedly Spreading Shia Teachings:
Malaysian enforcement authorities have detained 16 people and carried out 120 inspections allegedly in connection with those identified as linked to the dissemination of Shia teachings in the country.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said based on reports from state religious departments (Jain), 139 more cases were being monitored.

He said the government acted professionally when taking action against those spreading the teaching and would act against and charge them in court after gathering ample evidence.

Nonetheless, he said the authority would continue to monitor and take action against those who followed and embraced the teaching.

He said there were an estimated 1,500 Shia followers, according to police information, and the number did not include tourists, foreign students or foreign nationals on temporary stay here (in the country).

Jamil Khir was replying to a question from Barisan Nasioanl's Jelebu MP Zainuddin Ismail in the Dewan Rakyat, who wanted to know about those involved with the Shia sect and the action which had been taken against them.

In curbing the teachings at the early stage, the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) cooperated closely with agencies and JAIN (state religious department) to get information on individuals and the Shia movement at institutions of higher learning (IPT) and schools.

"The information will be passed on to the school authorities and IPT to enable them to take action under the respective regulations," said Jamil Khir, adding that briefing programmes on the Shia sect would be conducted in IPT and schools.

Jamil Khir said all states had gazetted a ban on the Shia sect, except for Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah which had their own provisions to curtail the movement.

Jamil Khir urged Muslims in the country to stay away from the teachings and those known to spread the doctrin apart from Sunni teachings.

"Muslims in Malaysia should only hold on to the Islamic principles and teachings based on Sunni tradition.

"Practising anything other than what is enshrined within Sunni tradition are prohibited." he reiterated.

Sayyed Nasrallah: Chemical Weapons Campaign Against Hezbollah Funny

Sayyed Nasrallah: Chemical Weapons Campaign Against Hezbollah Funny:
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah lauded on Monday the deployment of security forces in the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahiyeh) as a positive step hoping the State would bear its responsibilities and duties towards all Lebanese regions.

In a televised speech broadcast at Al-Manar TV, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that Hezbollah had contacted the state since the explosion took place in Dahiyeh, noting that the state said it needs time to carry out its responsibilities and not because we have failed, and the problems that happened were normal and anticipated when we endured responsibility for security .

Hezbollah S.G. said Hezbollah took serious responsibility since August 15 when Ruweis attack took place because of a security vacuum in the country and statements were issued rejecting autonomous security. “We also reject autonomous security and this has never been part of our agenda and we did not practice it and when we took security measures that was because we had to prevent the entry of booby-trapped cars.”

“Some went on to accuse Hezbollah of practicing autonomous security as part of our ‘statelet’, but today’s deployment refuted their claims because Hezbollah would have rejected this measure if their claims were true. We had asked the official bodies to take over the reins from the outset,” His eminence said.

Sayyed Nasrallah called on all Dahiyeh residents and passers-by to show the highest levels of cooperation, respect, acceptance and responsiveness to the security measures and provide all the assistance and support needed to help the security forces perform their mission.

As he assured that the State is solely responsible and must definitely extend its authority in all regions, Sayyed Nasrallah hoped these security forces and state authorities will shoulder their full responsibility and assume all the intelligence and preventative missions as well. “Only the state is responsible for security in all regions and we will leave any point to which the state might send forces. Today it happened in Dahiyeh and tomorrow it might happen in Baalbek and we welcome any efforts that contribute to the success of the mission.”

Some People feels Delighted with Killing of People in Dahiyeh

His eminence addressed some sides that condemned Hezbollah’s measures in Dahiyeh, saying: “I feel that those people are delighted with the killing of people in Dahiyeh, Tripoli and elsewhere, it is regrettable that hostility reached to that level of thinking.”

Sayyed Nasrallah thanked the Palestinian factions and especially the families of martyr Mohammad Samrawi over their noble stance on the regrettable incident in Burj al-Barajneh.

On the investigations after Ruweis attack took place, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “As promised, we reached decisive results concerning the perpetrators of Ruweis attack. It’s a Takfiri party that is affiliated with the Syrian opposition and which is based the Syrian territories, and the same results were reached by local security apparatuses. All the details were passed on to the relevant authorities, which must take the necessary measures, especially against the perpetrators who are inside Lebanon.”

Chemical Weapons Campaign against Hezbollah “Funny”

The S.G. denied accusations that the Syrian government handed chemical weapons to Hezbollah and said that this accusation is funny.

“The U.S. defense secretary said after reaching an agreement with Russia that chemical weapons should not be transferred to Hezbollah and on the next day some Syrian Coalition officials claimed that the Syrian government has transferred chemical arms to Hezbollah and some officials claimed that we have received a ton of chemical agents,” his eminence said. “It’s funny, it’s not like transporting wheat or flour. Unfortunately, some parties in Lebanon launched a media campaign and said they fear that the chemical weapons might be transferred to Hezbollah,” Sayyed Nasrallah noted, saying he understands the backgrounds of these serious accusations which have serious repercussions on Lebanon, and stressed that “Hezbollah did not ask our brothers in Syria to transfer such weapons and will not do in the future.” 

“Some friends advised me not to comment on these claims as part of psychological war against enemies, but I rejected that because Hezbollah has religious taboos with the use of such weapons and using this as psychological warfare is not an option,” S. Nasrallah added.

Some Invented Mock Battle in Zahle

On the scuffle that erupted over claims Hezbollah was installing a telecom network in Zahle, Sayyed Nasrallah denied these claims saying Hezbollah has never sought to install such network in Zahle. “This does not exist today and will not exist in the future. The Bekaa and Baalbek are part of the battle with the enemy and we need to have communications with the Baalbek-Hermel region. Years ago, we extended a cable at the outskirts of the city of Zahle and not inside it, it’s a cable for connecting lines. What happened few days ago was that Hezbollah young men were doing maintenance for the cable.”

Unfortunately, the S.G. said, some parties were launching a mock battle to what happened in Zahle and were seeking stunts and illusionary heroism. “The head of one of March 14 parties said that Hezbollah’s wired telecom network breaches the privacy of people. I hope that he asks any security official to explain to him about our network which is incapable of spying on anyone.”

Let's Discuss Hezbollah Intervention in Syria

Concerning the national dialogue, Sayyed Nasrallah said Hezbollah supported Speaker Nabih Berri’s initiative, “but we have heard calls for boycotting and setting conditions for dialogue. When the national dialogue table was held the other team disrupted it and required the resignation of Mikati in order to return to it and the government’s resignation they did not return to dialogue.”

He pointed out that Hezbollah will participate in the dialogue called for by the Lebanese President, and said: “Let’s discuss the intervention in Syria, and who did so. Isn’t it considered intervention the writing of speeches and statements urging [US President Barack] Obama to launch a military attack on Syria which if it had taken place would have serious repercussions on the world and especially Lebanon? We want to discuss on the table whichever is the most dangerous, appealing to Obama to intervene in Syria or what our young people are doing in Syria?” referring to former PM Fuad Saniora’s op-ed published by the Foreign Policy magazine recently.

“Those who are obstructing dialogue in Lebanon are well-known and we are willing to participate in the dialogue regardless of who would take part or not.”

Gov't Representation = Parties' Political Weight

On the issue of the delayed formation of the Lebanese government, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the interest of the country requires that March 14 stop stalling and form a national unity government based on real political weight of each party and urged them to stop betting on regional developments.

“Despite Lebanese consensus on the need to form a government, it has yet to be formed because from the first moment Tammam Salam was designated as PM, Al-Mustaqbal Party and some of its allies said they don't want the participation of Hezbollah in the government,” S. Nasrallah said, noting “they said they accept the participation of Hezbollah on two conditions: no tripartite formula, no to the guaranteeing one-third. However, we set one condition overtly and clearly that each political party should be represented according to the size of its Deputies.”

“We reject the three-8s (8-8-8) formula because it’s unrealistic. The PM-designate is part of March 14 coalition and the minister whom he will nominate would be committed to his political decision, that means March 14 will have 10 ministers not 8.”

Betting on Military Option in Syria Futile

Hezbollah leader said some Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, are insisting on accusing Hezbollah of occupying Syria and building on this to say that what is happening in Syria is not a conflict of countries, projects and nations, but rather a conflict against an “occupation force” which the Arab States should help to confront. And on such accusation they took retaliatory steps against Hezbollah. “In this context, March 14’s Veto on the participation of Hezbollah is Saudi and punishing the Lebanese in the Gulf is under the title of punishing Hezbollah.”

“Is it reasonable to believe that Hezbollah has the ability to occupy Syria!” his eminence wondered, announcing that Hezbollah’s contribution with the Syrian army is modest. “Isn’t Syria occupied by the tens of thousands of fighters you brought from all countries? And today the Syrian Coalition began to raise the voice against them.” [Turkish President Abdullah] Gul was told that the Pakistani scenario will be repeated in Turkey because of its intervention in Syria, he said.

Sayyed Nasrallah called upon Saudi Arabia, Gulf States and Turkey to review their positions on what is happening in Syria, saying “betting on the military option in Syria is futile.” “The salvation of Syria and the peoples of the region will be only with the political solution. The continuation of fighting in Syria will not lead to the goals you are looking for.”

Criminalizing Hezbollah in Bahrain Political

Concerning the Bahraini crisis, the Secretary General said Bahrain regime’s insistence on criminalizing communicating with Hezbollah is a political position. “We are not surprised by the position of the Government of Bahrain in describing Hezbollah as terrorists. We supported the peaceful revolution in the Gulf country and then Manama expelled the Lebanese living there!”

While insuring that the decision of the Bahraini opposition is internal and independent, Sayyed Nasrallah said Iran does not interfere in the course of the situation in Bahrain, urging Muslim scholars and states to react to confront repression in Bahrain as mosques are being destroyed and clergy men are forced in prisons.

دہشت گردوں نے ترکی کے کیمیاوی ہتھیاروں سے اسد فورسز کا قتل عام کیا

دہشت گردوں نے ترکی کے کیمیاوی ہتھیاروں سے اسد فورسز کا قتل عام کیا

رپورٹ کے مطابق ان دنوں یہ موضوع شدت سے زیر بحث ہے کہ شام میں کیمیاوی ہتھیار کس نے استعمال کئے ہیں؟ امریکہ اور ترکی سمیت تکفیری دہشتگردوں کے علاقائی حامی شام پر الزام لگا رہے ہیں تاہم ایک ترک روزنامہ نویس نے دل ہلانے والے انکشافات کرکے علاقے کے مبہم ماحول میں تہلکہ مچایا ہے۔
اس اخبار نویس کے انکشافات ترکی سے دہشت گردوں کے لئے بھجوائے گئے کیمیاوی ہتھیاروں کے بارے میں حقائق کو آشکار کرتے ہیں۔
ترک اخبار "طرف" نے کیمیاوی ہتھیاروں کے شام سے ترکی بھجوا کر القاعدہ سے وابستہ دہشت گرد جماعتوں کے حوالے کرنے کی خبر نیز اس مسئلے میں پیش کردہ پٹیشن کی تفصیل اپنے پہلے صفحے پر نشر کی ہے۔
فارس خبر ایجنسی کے نامہ نگار نے اس موضوع کی تفصیل جاننے کے لئے اس اخبار کے ایک رکن "فرات آلکاچ" سے بات چیت کی ہے۔
ترک حکومت نے مئی میں سیرین گیس کے ملزمین کو رہا کردیا تھا
آلکاچ نے ان گیار افراد کی گرفتاری کی طرف اشارہ کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ان افراد کو گذشتہ مہینوں ترکی میں گرفتار کیا گیا اور ان سے سیرین گیس برآمد کرلی۔ حکومت نے ان افراد کو سوائے ایک شامی کے، رہا کردیا۔ شامی باشندے کا نام ہیثم قصاب تھا۔
شام میں برسرپیکار افراد کا ترک اداروں سے تعلق
ترک اخبار نویس نے کہا: قصاب اور اس کے ساتھیوں کے پاس دو کلوگرام سیرین گیس تھی لیکن ترک حکومت نے کہا کہ وہ سیرین گیس نہ تھی بلکہ اینٹی فریز مادہ تھا۔ اور پھر قصاب بھی رہا کردیا گیا۔
سیرین گیس منتقل کرنے والوں کا ترک انٹیلجنس اداروں سے تعلق ہے
آلکاچ نے کہا: حکومت کو یقینا ان حقائق سے آگاہ ہونا چاہئے۔ کیونکہ خفیہ ادارے ان افراد کی نگرانی کررہے تھے اور یہ افراد بڑي آسانی سے ترکی ـ شام سرحدوں پر نقل وحرکت کرتے تھے۔ اور دلچسپ امر یہ کہ ان افراد کے سلسلے ميں پیش کردہ پٹیشن پر جو فیصلہ ہوا ہے اس میں قرار دیا گیا ہے کہ ان افراد کا تعاقب نہ کیا جائے۔
ہماری اطلاعات کے مطابق یہ افراد ترک انٹیلجنس کے لئے کام کرتے ہیں۔ ان افراد نے کیمیاوی ہتھیار تیارکرنے کے لئے پورے ترکی سے ضروری مواد اکٹھا کرلیا ہے اور قصاب نے اس مواد کو شام پہنچاکر دہشت گردوں کے سپرد کیا ہے۔ پہلے 5 افراد جنہیں رہا کیا جاتا ہے، دہشت گردوں کو ہتھیار فراہم کرنے کے الزام میں مطلوب تھے اور ان پر مقدمہ چلایا جارہا تھا۔ لیکن انہیں اسی حال میں رہا کیا گیا اور رہائی کے بعد وہ جبہۃ النصرہ میں شامل ہوئے۔

IKCO to Talk up Runna Production:

IKCO to Talk up Runna Production:

Hamidreza Taghavinejad, IKCO strategy and planning deputy CEO said, "In the first five months of this Iranian calendar year started March 21, Runna made only eight percent of IKCO's production portfolio and the wide acceptance of Runna by the markets has motivated the company to increase its production."

Thirty five present of IKCO sales portfolio belonged to Runna last month that placed it atop IKCO's best sellers in that month.

Considering the company's plan to increase the production of Runna, it would be one of IKCO's main and strategic products in near future.

During the said period, IKCO exported 40 Runnas to Ukraine and Kazakhstan for the first time.

IKCO plans to produce Runna in Belarus, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Syria, Senegal and Venezuela as well as Iran's domestic production plants. The company intends to export the car to the Middle East and West of Asia, Russia and CIS region countries, West and North Africa and South America.

This sedan is going to be powered by TU5 and EF7 engines that meet Euro IV standard requirements. The car would be available with diesel engines later on.

IKCO Runna enjoys front seat airbags and ABS and meets the required safety standards for driver and passengers, covering the European pedestrian impact safety standard as long as the standard has been instituted and introduced in Europe. The car can also gain three star rating by Euro NCAP.

Besides the Iranian market, the Middle East, Russia, Turkey, Africa and South American countries have been targeted by IKCO Runna.

The strategy and planning deputy CEO finally announced a two percent increase in IKCO's production last month, and pointed out that in the first five months of this year, Peugeot Pars, Bardo pickup and Runna have increased sales in comparison with the same period last year.

Iraq Shiites in a Sea of ​​Blood; Over 100 Killed in Baghdad Funeral Bombings:

Iraq Shiites in a Sea of ​​Blood; Over 100 Killed in Baghdad Funeral Bombings:

A string of bombings has killed at least 100 people mostly Shiite Muslims in the Baghdad suburb of Sadr City, Ur district and the northern city of Baiji, adding to the worst year of violence since US troops began leaving the country in 2008.

The first bomb exploded next to a tent full of mourners in the Shiite neighborhood. Shortly after, a suicide bomber detonated his device while driving a car near the funeral-goers. A third bomb exploded as police and ambulances arrived at the scene.

"Crowds of people were visiting the tent to offer their condolences when suddenly a powerful blast...threw me to ground," said 35-year-old Basim Raheem.

"When I tried to get up, a second blast happened. My clothes were covered with blood and human flesh. I thought I was wounded, but later discovered I was lying in a pool of others' blood," he added.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks in Baghdad, in which at least 72 people were killed and 120 others wounded, medics said.

However, the majority of the region’s attacks are carried out by Sunni insurgents with links to Al-Qaeda.

 In a separate incident, at least nine people were killed and 14 others wounded when a car bomb exploded in the predominantly Shiite Ur district of the capital, police said.

Later, militants later attacked a shop that was discretely selling liquor in a Sunni populated area of Baghdad’s Azamiyah district, killing four, police reported.

Gunmen also stormed two houses in the city of Mosul, located 360 kilometers northwest of Baghdad, killing two soldiers. Another attack in the area struck a military convoy, killing two soldiers and wounding four others.

Earlier, four suicide bombers attacked a police special forces base, killing seven and injuring more than 20 security officials in the northern city of Baiji. Police shot one of the militants, although the others managed to enter the base and blow themselves up.

'Continuity of interests'

Some experts are pointing to the beginning of the US-led invasion of Iraq under the George W. Bush administration as the main cause for the current violence.

“The fundamental cause of the ongoing violence in Iraq is the US invasion and occupation, which tore the Iraq society apart,” said Richard Becker, a member of the international anti-war group Answer Coalition. “The tearing apart of the society back in 2003 still has reaping consequences today. The blame for this has never been attributed in US mainstream media to those who are responsible, who created this war – the Bush administration and all of its agents.”

Becker also made a connection between the perpetrators of the Iraqi attack and the opposition that is trying to topple the Syrian government.

“There appears to be continuity of interests between those who carried out the attacks today and those who are trying to destroy the government in Syria and who operate under the name of Islamic State of Iraq and Levant,” he said. “And it is clear that their aspirations are to create a new state under very reactionary and backward laws enforced by means of terror. And they would like to create this state that would include the whole region or as much of the region that they can secure.”

Iraq has been hit by a deadly wave of bombings over the past year, as the civil war in neighboring Syria aggravates sectarian divisions in the bitterly divided country.

At least 800 Iraqis were killed in August according to the UN, with more than one-third of the country's attacks taking place in Baghdad.

The bloodshed, 18 months after the last US troops pulled out, has led to concerns that Iraq is slipping into a civil war.

At the height of the sectarian slaughter in 2006-7, the monthly death toll was sometimes as high as 3,000 people.

Honey, Natural Polymer to Produce Wound-Dressing Nanofibers

Honey, Natural Polymer to Produce Wound-Dressing Nanofibers:

A wide range of biological and biodegradable materials have been electrospun in recent years to produce nanofibers. In this research, a drug carrying nanofibrous web was produced to be used in wound dressing by using an artificial and biodegradable polymer and a natural polymer through electrospinning method.

Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammation properties. Many studies have been published on the effects of honey in the treatment of infections and in prevention of the wound from being infected. Therefore, the combination of the unique properties of nanofibers and the natural properties of honey in the production of wound dressing is the most important characteristic of this research.

SEM and AFM results showed that the fibers were completely homogenous with relatively smooth surface. However, spindle-like beads were observed in nanofibers containing 60% honey. As the concentration of honey increased in the mixture, a decrease was observed in the diameter of nanofibers. Drug-loaded nanofibers, too, had relatively smooth and homogenous surface, and as the amount of drug increases, the diameter of the nanofibers decreased. Drug release behavior studies demonstrated a sudden initial release. Statistical analyses showed that the presence of honey did not have significant effect on the process or on the behavior of drug release. Therefore, electrospun nanofibers that contain honey are appropriate option to be used in wound dressing.

Wounds can be dressed faster by using the achievements of this research. Honey is considered as a well-known drug in traditional medical sciences, which has been loaded with drugs in this research.

Results of the research have been published on 5 March 2013 in Journal of Applied Polymer Science, vol. 127, issue 5, pp. 4086-4092

Al-Qaeda Terrorists Behead 40 FSA Rebels in Northern Syria

Al-Qaeda Terrorists Behead 40 FSA Rebels in Northern Syria:

The terrorists of the Al-Qaeda-Affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant beheaded 40 FSA armed rebels in Al-Ba’ab region in the Eastern parts of Reef (countryside of) Aleppo on Saturday, FNA dispatches said.

After more than two years of fighting side-by-side and leading one of the bloodiest conflicts in the recent history of Middle-East, FSA and al-Qaeda affiliated groups have been making some moves against each other following reports of West’s alleged concerns over sending more arms to Syria and possibility of them falling into the hands of the terrorists.

Analysts say West’s pressures for opening a way to send arms to militants in Syria and not the terrorists is actually differentiating the anti-Syria armed groups to “good terrorists” and “bad terrorists”.

Militants in Syria have been committing numerous war crimes against people and Syrian army soldiers throughout the country during their bloody war.

On Friday, sources said the number of antigovernment combat factions has reached 1750, including the FSA, "State of Iraq and the Levant", and other groups working for different agendas.

However, the most prominent differences lie between the FSA and the "State of Iraq and the Levant", where media sources reported that the latter killed Abu Obeida Al-Binshi, one of the FSA commanders recently.

"The assassination took place after the "State of Iraq and Levant" had taken a number of Malaysians, Syrians and Turks relief workers as hostages," the sources said last week.

"Following the abduction, a number of the FSA brigades moved in an attempt to release prisoners, which led to clashes between the two opposition groups, and left Abu Obeida Al-Binshi killed," they elaborated further.

Earlier, a media source in the FSA described the "State of Iraq and Levant" as the movement which turned into a cruel rebel group.

"This organization kills all dissidents without exception, chasing and assassinating them in the areas of Ghouta and Damascus western countryside," the media source said.

Such incidents were being repeated in Syria during the recent period, signaling a growing tension between the militant groups active under the FSA and the so-called 'Jihadi' groups, mainly composed of non-Syrian militants.

For its part, the opposing UK-based Syrian Observatory said that Al-Qaeda-affiliated "State of Iraq and Levant" had beheaded another battalion commander in the province of Idlib, Northwest Syria, in the wake of a battle erupted between the Syrian army and militants of other battalions in the town of Dana, in which dozens were killed.

Recently, the city of Raqqa in Northern Syria has witnessed protests, sit-ins and demonstrations against the armed groups deployment as a result of arrests carried out.

Moreover, the killing of a 14-year boy at the hands of "State of Iraq and Levant' mercenaries in front of his family in the city of Aleppo after being accused of blasphemy had also provoked widespread protests.

In another case of internal clashes among the Syrian militants, Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant and the Greater Syria clashed with members of a group affiliated to the FSA in mid August, driving them out from the city of Raqqa.

The fighting took place in Raqqa, where Al-Qaeda fighters overran the FSA’s Ahfad al-Rasoul brigade, capturing the group’s headquarters and forcing its fighters to flee into neighboring Turkey.

Militants familiar with the situation said that the fighting over Raqqa had been going on off and on for months, but picked up in early August.

Raqqa has been the site of multiple protests, with locals angry that they are being occupied by foreign factions, and that those factions are constantly at odds.

FSA members are not welcomed in many parts of Syria after they gathered in terrorists from several other countries to bring down the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

According to local reports, antigovernment forces have turned to be referred as anti-Syria forces among people.

Fighting between Al-Qaeda-linked fighters and the Ahfad al-Rasoul brigade for control of Raqqa intensified in the second week of August.

The battle culminated with the extremist group detonating a car bomb early August 14 at the city’s main train station, killing Rasoul commanders Abu Mazen and Fahd Hussein al-Kajwan.

The Al-Qaeda-linked rebels clashed with Rasoul armed men at the brigade’s headquarters, which they eventually overran, with most of the group withdrawing to Turkey on the same day (August 14).

Free Syrian Army leaders have acknowledged that the fighting between their brigades and extremists rivals has reached a critical stage.

The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.

Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.

دہشت گردوں کی اندرونی جنگ، 40 کو ذبح کیا گیا 6 کو پھانسی دی گئی

دہشت گردوں کی اندرونی جنگ، 40 کو ذبح کیا گیا 6 کو پھانسی دی گئی

رپورٹ کے مطابق دولۃالاسلامیہ في العراق والشام (داعش) نے فری سیرین آرمی کے ساتھ چھڑپوں میں جن افراد کو قید کرلیا تھا ان میں سے 40 افراد کو نہایت بےدردی سے قتل کیا گیا اور ان کے سر چاقو کے ذریعے تن سے جدا کردیئے گئے۔ داعش کا تعلق القاعدہ کے امریکی ـ صہیونی ـ سعودی دہشت گرد تنظیم سے ہے اور القاعدہ فری سیرین آرمی کے سخت خلاف ہے۔  مذکورہ واقعہ حلب کے مشرق میں رونما ہوا۔

Tunisian girls return home pregnant after ‘sexual jihad’ in Syria

Tunisian girls return home pregnant after ‘sexual jihad’ in Syria:

A number of Tunisian girls who had travelled to Syria to perform “sexual jihad” there have returned back home pregnant, Tunisian Interior Minister Lotfi Bin Jeddo said on Thursday.

The Tunisian girls “are (sexually) swapped between 20, 30, and 100 rebels and they come back bearing the fruit of sexual contacts in the name of sexual jihad and we are silent doing nothing and standing idle,” the non-partisan minister said during an address to the National Constituent Assembly.

Bin Jeddo said the interior ministry has banned 6,000 Tunisians from travelling to Syria since March 2013 and arrested 86 individuals suspected of forming “networks” that send Tunisian youth for “jihad” to Syria.

The minister hit back at human rights groups criticizing the government’s decision to ban suspected “jihadists” from travel. Most of those slapped with travel bans were less than 35 years old, he said.

“Our youths are positioned in the frontlines and are taught how to steal and raid (Syrian) villages,” Bin Jeddo said.

Former Mufti of Tunisia Sheikh Othman Battikh said in April that 13 Tunisian girls “were fooled” into travelling to Syria to offer their sexual services to rebels fighting to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

The mufti, who was dismissed from his post days afterwards, described the so-called “sexual Jihad” as a form of “prostitution.”

“For Jihad in Syria, they are now pushing girls to go there. 13 young girls have been sent for sexual jihad. What is this? This is called prostitution. It is moral educational corruption,” the mufti told reporters.

In August, general director of the public security service Mostafa Bin Omar said a “sexual jihad cell” was broken up in an area west of the country where al-Qaead fighters holed up.

Bin Omar told reporters that al-Qaeda affiliate Ansar Shariah was using minor girls, dressed in the full face cover to offer sexual services for jihadist male fighters.

کوئی بھی اسد حکومت کا تختہ الٹنے کی قوت نہیں رکھتا

کوئی بھی اسد حکومت کا تختہ الٹنے کی قوت نہیں رکھتا

رپورٹ کے مطابق صہیونی اخبار یروشلم پوسٹ نے صہیونی ریاست کے ایک اعلی کمانڈر میجر جنرل ارتش یعیر گولان کے حوالے سے لکھا ہے کہ شام میں خانہ جنگی کی صورت حال کے باوجود صدر اسد برسہا برس تک اس ملک کے صدر رہ سکتے ہیں۔
جنرل یعیر گولان شام کی سرحدوں کے قریب تعینات صہیونی فوج کا کمانڈر ہے۔
گولان نے مذکورہ اخبار کے ساتھ اپنے ایک انٹرویو میں ـ جو آج بدھ 18 ستمبر 2013 کو شائع ہوا ـ کہا ہے: بشار اسد برسوں تک برسر اقتدار رہیں گے، مجھے ایسی کوئی طاقت نظر نہیں آرہی جو انہیں عنقریب اقتدار سے الگ کرسکے۔
صہیونی جنرل نے عاجزی کے اس اظہار کے بعد اپنے خاص صہیونی انداز میں کہا ہے: اس کے باوجود صدر اسد کو اقتدار چھوڑ دینا چاہئے اور وہ جس قدر جلد اقتدار چھوڑ دیں اتنا ہی بہتر ہے۔ 
گولان نے اس سوال کہ جواب میں ـ کہ اسرائیل شام کے حکمران نظام اور شام میں سرگرم عمل دہشت گرد ٹولوں میں سے کس کو زیادہ پسند کرتا ہے؟ ـ کہا: حکومت شام کے اندر دہشت گرد ٹولوں کا خطرہ بڑھا چڑھا کر پیش کیا گیا ہے اور یہ خطرہ یقینی طور پر اسد کی بقاء کے خطرے سے بڑا خطرہ نہیں ہے! 
واضح رہے کہ یعیر کی بات کا مفہوم یہ ہے کہ دہشت گرد ٹولے اسرائیل کے لئے خطرہ نہيں سمجھے جاتے جبکہ بشار الاسد کی حکومت اس غاصب ریاست کے لئے مسلسل خطرہ سمجھا جاتا ہے۔
اس سے قبل امریکہ میں صہیونی سفیر مائکل ایورن نے بھی کہا تھا کہ اسرائیل شام میں سرگرم دہشت گرد ٹولوں کو شام کی حکومت اور ایران کے حمایت یافتہ جماعتوں پر ترجیح دیتا ہے کیونکہ حکومت شام تہران ـ دمشق ـ بیروت کے محاذ کا مرکزی نقطہ ہے اور اسی بنا پر اسرائیل ابتداء ہی سے بشار الاسد کی برطرفی کا خواہاں ہے۔
صہیونی کمانڈر یعیر گولان نے مزيد کہا: عالمی جہاد (عالمی دہشت گرد ٹولوں القاعدہ، جبہـۃالنصرہ وغیرہ کا مجموعہ) برا دشمن ہے، لیکن یہ ایک کمزور اور اہم علاقائی قوت کی حمایت سے محروم دشمن ہے جبکہ شامی دشمن، حزب اللہ اور ان کی پشت پناہ عسکری قوت یعنی ایران، عالمی جہاد کے عناصر سے کہیں بڑا دشمن ہے۔
واضح رہے کہ صہیونی کمانڈر کے بقول عالمی جہاد یعنی القاعدہ اور اس کے حامی علاقائی دہشت گرد ٹولوں کو آل سعود سمیت خلیج فارس تعاون کونسل کی کئی ریاستوں کی حمایت حاصل ہے جن کی بابت صہیونی جرنیلوں اور حکام نے کئی مرتبہ اطمینان کا اظہار کیا ہے اور انہیں اپنا دشمن قرار نہيں دیا ہے بلکہ یہاں تو یعیر گولان نے واضخ کرکے کہا ہے کہ عالمی جہاد کو بڑے عالمی ملک کی حمایت حاصل نہیں ہے جس سے اندازہ ہوتا ہے کہ صہیونی ریاست آل سعود اور دیگر عرب حکومتوں کو نہ صرف بڑی حکومتیں نہیں سمجھتی بلکہ اس کو یقین ہے کہ جس وقت بھی صہیونی مفادات کا تقاضا ہوگا آل سعود اور دوسرے علاقائی حکمران القاعدہ اور دوسری دہشت گرد تنظیموں کو چٹیل میدان میں اکیلے چھوڑیں گے اور ان کی حمایت ترک کر دیں گے۔

سعودی عرب: بندر بن سلطان کی معزولی سمیت بڑی تبدیلیوں کا امکان

سعودی عرب: بندر بن سلطان کی معزولی سمیت بڑی تبدیلیوں کا امکان

رپورٹ کے مطابق الحدث نیوز ویب سائٹ نے اس غیر مصدقہ رپورٹ میں کہا ہے کہ ممکن ہے کہ عبداللہ بن عبدالعزیز آل سعود ـ جو علالت میں شدت آنے کے بموجب گذشتہ کئی ہفتوں سے کابینہ کے اجلاس میں شرکت نہیں کرسکے ہیں ـ آنے والے ایک سے دو مہینوں کے دوران اہم معزولیاں اور تقرریاں کریں۔  الحدث نے لکھا ہے: ولیعہد سلمان بن عبدالعزیز الزایمر کے مریض ہیں اور اپنا استعفی بادشاہ کو پیش کرچکے ہیں اور ولیعہدی کا عہدہ چھوڑ کر بیرون ملک علاج کروانا چاہتے ہیں اور اگلے ایک دو ماہ کے دوران بادشاہ ان کا استعفی قبول کرسکتے ہیں۔
واضح رہے کہ قبل ازیں سابق ولیعہد سلطان بن عبدالعزیز اور دوسرے ولیعہد نائف بن عبدالعزیز بادشاہی کا منصب سنبھالنے کے انتظار میں دنیا سے رخصت ہوئے ہیں اور یہ تیسرے ولیعہد ہیں جو ولیعہدی کے دوران بیماری کی وجہ سے انتقال کرنے سے قبل ہی استعفی دے چکے ہیں جو ابھی تک منظور نہيں ہوا ہے تاہم پہلی بار ایک سعودی بادشاہ تیسرے ولیعہد کو بھی اپنے سامنے سے ہٹانے کی پوزیشن میں ہیں۔
الحدث نیوز نے لکھا ہے کہ ولیعہد سلمان بن عبدالعزیز اپنے بیٹے محمد بن سلمان کو وزارت دفاع کا عہدہ دلوانے کی کوشش کررہے ہیں جس کے بعد وہ ملک چھوڑ کر چلے جائیں گے۔
سعودی وزیر دفاع کا قلمدان اس وقت لیعہد سلمان بن عبدالعزیز کے پاس ہے اور ان کے استعفے کے بعد مقرن بن عبدالعزیز علامتی طور پر ولیعہد کا عہدہ سنبھالیں گے؛ یعنی یہ کہ مقرن بادشاہ نہيں بنیں گے بلکہ ایک سال تک یہ عہدہ سنبھالے رہیں گے۔
نیز عبداللہ بن عبدالعزیز ایک فرمان کے تحت اپنے بیٹے متعب بن عبداللہ کو نیشنل گارڈ کے وزير اور سربراہ حکومت کے نائب دوئم کے عنوان سے مقرر کریں گے اور متعب کو ولیعہدی کے منصب سے قریب تر کردے گا۔ اور مقرن بن عبدالعزیز کی برطرفی کے بعد انہیں ولیعہد بنایا جائے گا اور پھر عبداللہ کے انتقال یا کنارہ کشی کی صورت میں متعب ہی سعودی بادشاہ بنیں گے۔
واضح رہے کہ عبداللہ کے باپ عبدالعزیز کی وصیت کے مطابق جب تک ان کے بیٹے زندہ ہیں اس وقت تک تیسری نسل کا کوئی شہزادہ بادشاہ کا عہدہ سنبھالنے کا اہل نہیں ہے تاہم گویا بادشاہ عبداللہ اس روایت کو بھی توڑنا چاہتے ہیں اور بادشاہت کو اپنی اولاد کے سپرد کرنے کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں۔ 
ادھر سعود الفیصل کی برطرفی کا بھی منصوبہ ہے اور بادشاہ انہیں ہٹا کر اپنے بیٹے عبدالعزیز کو وزارت خارجہ کا عہدہ سونپنے کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں اور یہ تبدیلی ملک میں متعدد دوسری تبدیلیوں کا پیش خیمہ ثابت ہوگی۔ 
گوکہ حال ہی میں 17 شہزادوں نے بندر بن سلطان کی برطرفی کا مطالبہ کیا ہے لیکن گویا ان کی برطرفی امریکیوں کی ایماء پر سزار کے طور پر، قرار پائی ہے کیونکہ انھوں نے سعودی عرب کے سلسلے میں امریکی پالیسیوں کو کئی مرتبہ دشواری سے دوچار کیا ہے؛ ادھر کہا جاتا ہے کہ اگر بندر بن سلطان شام کے مسئلے میں یا حزب اللہ لبنان کے خلاف، کوئی کامیابی حاصل کرے تو امریکہ شاہی خاندان میں مزید اعلی رتبہ دلوانے کی کوشش کرسکتا ہے اور آل سعود کے شہزادوں کے لئے ایسا کوئی واقعہ ہرگز خوشایند نہیں ہے چنانچہ شہزادوں کی اکثریت بندر کی معزولی کا خیر مقدم کرے گی۔
سعودی شہزادے بندر بن سلطان کو بےاصل و نسب امیر سمجھتے ہیں کیونکہ ان کی ماں "خیزرانہ" ایتھوپیا کی سیاہ فام تھی جو ان کے باپ سلطان بن عبدالعزیز سے نکاح سے قبل ہی بندر پر حاملہ ہوئی تھی چنانچہ سلطان طویل عرصے تک بندر کو اپنا بیٹا تسلیم کرنے پر تیار نہ تھے جس کی وجہ سے آل سعود کے بزرگ بندر سے نفرت کرتے ہیں اور ان کے مکر اور خیانت سے مسلسل خائف رہتے ہیں۔
الحدث نے اپنے ذرائع کا نام تو نہیں لیا ہے لیکن عین ممکن ہے کہ یہ اطلاعات آل سعود کے کسی گھر کے بھیدی نے اس ویب سائٹ کو فراہم کی ہوں کیونکہ اس طرح کی معلومات خاندان آل سعود کے سوا کسی اور سے حاصل ہونا ممکن نہیں ہیں؛ یا پھر تخمینے اور اندازے ہیں

Bashar al-Assad: Syria will comply with Russia-US deal about chemical weapons.

Bashar al-Assad: Syria will comply with Russia-US deal about chemical weapons:

While it became known that Germany has supplied over 100 tons of chemicals to Syria between 2002 and 2006, the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad vowed in new statements that Syria will comply the steps to put its chemical weapons arsenal under an international supervision and that the chemical stockpiles will be destroyed.

Officials from Germany have confirmed that Berlin has sent over 100 tons of “dual-use” chemicals to Syria between 2002 and 2006 and that these chemicals were potential ingredients for the production of the nerve gas Sarin. However, everybody who has a bit knowledge in regards of chemistry is a potential producer of Sarin because the production of Sarin does not need an intensive knowledge of chemistry. On the contrary, the production of Sarin is easy.

It is to mention that the shipments of more than 100 tons of chemicals by Berlin to Syria is no surprise. Just like the German intelligence service has worked hand in hand with the Syrian intelligence till the beginning of the conflict in the Arab country, also German companies and government installations have worked with the Syrian side. The so-called “Syrian regime” was never a problem for the democratic government in Germany and the both intelligence agencies were really good partners on many levels.

German officials have confirmed that ammonium bifluoride, hydrogen fluoride, and sodium fluoride were among the supplied chemicals, and these chemicals could be used for the production of Sarin gas. However, they also have hundreds of domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses and under consideration of the stockpiles in Syria in terms of chemical weapons, it would be a huge surprise if the Syrian government would have produced a lot of Sarin nerve gas in recent years.

Further, the German officials have stressed that the chemicals sent to Syria were not used for military purposes. However, it remains questionable how should they know about this. Germany also stated that Saudi Arabia won`t use the shipments of German tanks against its civilians or the population of Bahrain, but….

Meanwhile, the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview with the often biased Fox News that the Syrian government and he himself is committed to the Russia-US agreement about the chemical weapons arsenal in Syria. Syria’s President al-Assad then vowed to hand over the chemical stockpiles on Syrian soil to an international control, and that the chemical arms will be destroyed later. Bashar al-Assad added that the plan about Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal will cost around $1 billion and that it will probably take about a year to complete all the steps of the agreement regarding the chemical weapons of Syria.

Thus, Syria’s President has again confirmed that he and the government in the capital Damascus is willing and ready to hand over its chemical weapons, so that the chemical arms will be destroyed later.

The President of Syria said also that it is technically a very “complicated operation” and will need a lot of money. Assad added that it one has to ask the experts what they mean “by quickly” regarding the time for the plan to hand over the chemical weapons to an international supervision and to destroy these Syrian CW agents later. According to the new statements by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the process will probably need a year or “maybe a little more” to be completed.

Bashar al-Assad has again underlined in this interview with Fox News that the units of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) were not behind the chemical attack in suburbs of Damascus on August 21 and that this chemical attack was a clear violation of international law. Assad said that this act was “despicable” and clearly “a crime.”

Syria’s President also said in this interview that the Syrian government has evidence that the foreign-backed terrorist groups fighting in Syria have used Sarin gas and pointed out that the entire story that the Syrian government would have used the nerve gas Sarin in attacks simply “doesn’t even hold together” and this is certainly true. Bashar al-Assad added that the Syrian side has not used any chemical weapons.

Referring to the published UN report by the inspectors and the confirmation that a chemical weapons attack did take place in the countryside of Damascus, the Syrian President al-Assad said that Sarin gas can be produced by anyone and this is correct.

It is, as mentioned, not hard to make Sarin gas. With a little bit of knowledge and probably with access to the internet, everybody is certainly able to produce Sarin gas. Bashar al-Assad also hinted in his new interview with the often biased Fox News that there is a possibility that foreign governments could have been behind the chemical weapons attack in suburbs of Syria’s capital, Damascus. He said that “anyone can make Sarin in his house” and that Sarin gas is also called “kitchen gas” because of that. Assad added that all those “rebels are supported by governments.”

The Syrian President also stressed that the decision to destroy the chemical weapons stockpiles was not forced upon the Syrian government in Damascus by the threat of possible US-led military strikes on Syria.

Assad said that there is a “misunderstanding that we agreed with this agreement because of the American threat” and explained that the US threat was not about the handing over of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles, but the threat by the United States was about attacking Syria in order to not use the chemical arsenal again – before the Russian proposal to put Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal under an international supervision was on the table.

The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said further that it was clearly not about the US threat and that Syria never would obey to any threat. The Syrian government has actually responded to Russia’s proposal and to its own conviction and needs, according to al-Assad.

Syria’s President al-Assad finally said in this interview in direction to the U.S. President Barack Obama that Obama should listen to the American people and that the President of the United States should “follow the common sense” of his people in terms of Syria and the plan to launch a military attack on the Arab country. The majority of the American people reject a war against Syria. Not to mention that certainly nobody wants U.S. soldiers fighting alongside Al-Qaeda in Syria while other American soldiers get killed by Al-Qaeda in e.g. Afghanistan.

Al-Qaeda, FSA militants clash near Turkish border

 Al-Qaeda, FSA militants clash near Turkish border:

Terrorists linked to al-Qaeda have overrun a Syrian town near the border with Turkey after fierce clashes broke out with units of the so-called Free Syrian Army militant group.

Terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Wednesday stormed the town of Azaz, 5km from the Syrian-Turkish border, and killed at least five FSA militants, the Syrian opposition said, adding that 100 people were taken captive.

Reports in the late evening said that fighting was continuing and getting closer to a border crossing at Bab al-Salama, which is controlled by the FSA.

The fighting is the most severe since tensions mounted earlier this year between the foreign-backed militants fighting against the Syrian government.

The fighting could pose a dilemma for the Turkish government, which has been allowing militants to cross into Syria from its territory, but may not be keen to see al-Qaeda so close to its border.

Abu Ahmad, a militant in Azaz, claimed: "The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has seized complete control of Azaz. They are in control of the town's entrances."

Abu Louay al-Halabi, another militant, said the fighting broke out after the Storm of the North Brigade, an FSA unit, resisted attempts by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant to abduct a German doctor working as a volunteer at a private hospital in Azaz.

"By taking Azaz, the Islamic State is a step closer to controlling the crossing. Its objective seems to be taking over the whole countryside north of Aleppo," he said.

The Syria-Turkey border areas have been rocked by insurgency and bomb attacks in recent days.

A bomb attack struck the Bab al-Hawa crossing on Tuesday, and Turkish fighter jets shot down a Syrian regime helicopter when it strayed into Turkish airspace on Monday.

Crisis in Syria started in March 2011, when pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of Western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

بندر بن سلطان بن عبدالعزیز کو نیا صدمہ، شہزادوں نے شکایت کردی

بندر بن سلطان بن عبدالعزیز کو نیا صدمہ، شہزادوں نے شکایت کردی

رپورٹ کے مطابق سعودی مجلس امن کے سیکریٹری اور آل سعود کی انٹیلجنس و سیکورٹی سروس کے سربراہ بندر بن سلطان بن عبدالعزیز آل سعود کے اقدامات اور ناکامیوں کے بعد 17 نوجوان سعودی شہزادوں نے اس کی کارکردگی کو آل سعود کی عظیم شکست کا سبب گردانتے ہوئے، اس سعودی اہلکار کے خلاف تحریری شکایت سعودی بادشاہ عبداللہ بن عبدالعزیز آل سعود کے پاس بھجوائی ہے۔
اس شکایت نامے میں کہا گیا ہے کہ بندر بن سلطان حکومت شام کا تختہ الٹنے میں دہشت گردوں کی حمایت میں ناکام ہوچکے ہیں؛ امریکہ کو اکسانے اور شام پر عسکری یلغار کرانے میں شکست کھا چکے ہیں اور علاقائی طور پر آل سعود کی بدنامی اور رسوائی کا سبب بنے ہیں لیکن اس کے باوجود حکومت شام کا تختہ نہیں الٹ سکے ہیں۔ واضح رہے کہ سعودی بادشاہ طویل عرصے سے علیل ہیں جبکہ ولیعہد سلمان بن عبدالعزیز بھی بوڑھے اور بیمار ہیں جس کی وجہ سے سعودی شہزادوں کی تحریر شکایت بادشاہ کے دفتر کے سربراہ کے پاس پہنچائی گئی ہے اور وہ جو فیصلہ کریں گے وہی آل سعود کا آخری فیصلہ سمجھا جائے گا۔
اگرچہ بندر بن سلطان کنیز کی فرزند ہونے کے ناطے کسی صورت میں سعودی بادشاہت کے امیدوار نہیں ہوسکتے لیکن مجموعی طور پر اس کی کارکردگی آل سعود کے لئے بہت اہم رہی ہے۔ علاقے میں اگر ایک طرف سے تیز رفتار تبدیلیاں جاری ہیں تو بندر بن سلطان ہمیشہ ان تبدیلیوں میں مغربی اور صہیونی محاذ میں فعال رہے ہیں اور خطے کے عرب ممالک ـ شام اور عراق ـ میں خونی کی ہولی کھیل رہے ہیں جبکہ جنوب ایشیا میں بھی اس کے خونی قدموں کے نشان بخوبی نظر آرہے ہیں گوکہ وہ عراق میں امریکہ کو باقی رکھنے اور شام کو امریکی حملے کا نشانہ بنوانے میں ناکام رہے ہیں اور یہ بات اسرائیل اور امریکہ کے وفادار سعودی شہزادوں کے لئے ناقابل قبول ہے۔
بندر بن سلطان 1983 سے 2005 (22 سال کے عرصے تک) واشنگٹن میں آل سعود کے سفیر تھے، واپسی پرکچھ عرصے تک باپ کی ولیعہدی کے دور میں، ان پر حکومت کے خلاف سازش کا الزام لگا اور کچھ عرصہ لاپتہ رہے اور 2010 میں دوبارہ ظاہر ہوئے جس کے بعد نیشنل سیکورٹی کونسل کے سیکریٹری اور 19 جولائی 2012 کو عبداللہ بن عبدالعزیز کی طرف سے سعودی انٹیلجنس ایجنسی کے ڈائریکٹر جنرل بنے۔
کوئی بھی عرب حکمران اور کوئی بھی سفیر بندر بن سلطان کی طرح امریکیوں کے ہاں با اثر نہیں ہے۔ اس شخص نے اپنی سفارتکاری کا آغاز 1978 سے کیا تھا جب انھوں نے امریکی کانگریس کو ترغیب دلائی کہ وہ آل سعود کے ساتھ ایف پندرہ لڑاکا طیاروں کی فروخت کا بل منظور کرے اور یہ بل منظور ہوا۔
بندر نے اپنی سفارتکاری کے دوران 5 امریکی صدور، 10 وزرائے خارجہ، 11 نیشنل سیکورٹی کے مشیروں اور کانگریس کے 16 اجلاسوں اور سینکڑوں امریکی سیاستدانوں کے ساتھ رابطہ برقرار کیا۔ 
شہزادہ بندر بن سلطان کے تعلقات امریکی صدور میں جارج بش (father) اور جارج واکر بش (son) سے قریبی رابطہ برقرار کیا یہاں تک کہ انہیں Bandar Bush کہا جانے لگا۔ جیمز بیکر، ڈک چینی، جنرل کالین پاول اور بش انتظامیہ کے اعلی اہلکاروں سے ان کا رابطہ سفارتی حدود سے کہیں زیادہ قریبی تھا۔
بندر بش اپنی سفارت کے دوران بغیر کسی رکاوٹ کے وائٹ ہاؤس میں آیا جایا کرتے تھے اور کہا جاتا ہے کہ وہ پہلے عرب سفیر تھے جو حتی امریکی وزارت خارجہ کی سیکورٹی تفصیلات تک رسائی رکھتے تھے۔ اور امریکیوں نے ان کو یہ سہولت اس لئے دی تھی کہ وہ اسرائیل اور امریکہ کے لئے خود امریکیوں سے بھی زیادہ مخلص تھے۔ ورنہ ہم سب جانتے ہیں کہ امریکی کسی پر اعتماد نہیں کیا کرتے۔

Indonesia Minister: Shia followers are free to practice their faith

 Indonesia Minister: Shia followers are free to practice their faith:
The Indonesian government has made another promise to the displaced Shia followers from Sampang in Madura, East Java — that they will be able to safely practice their faith once they return to their home villages.

Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali, who has been under fire for supporting the forced conversion of Shiites to Sunni Islam, guaranteed that the government would protect the Shiites’ rights to perform religious activities according to their faith.

Suryadharma, however, said they would still have to undergo the so-called “enlightenment” program carried out by a government-sanctioned reconciliation team.

“This enlightenment process is led by a former rector of the Malang State Islamic University in East Java, Imam Suprayogo,” he said.

“It is neither a forced conversion nor a requirement for [the Shia followers] to sign such a pact or accord or whatever you call it,” the minister explained at the State Palace on Monday.

He was referring to a claim made by a lawyer of the displaced Shia, that they were asked to renounce their faith if they wanted to return home. The lawyer, Hertasning Ichlas, said 34 Shia community members had returned to their homes by Aug. 7 as they had finally agreed to sign a pledge of nine points stating their willingness to return to “the true teaching of Islam”.

Suryadharma, who chairs the Islam-based United Development Party (PPP), insisted there was no forced conversion and that the Shia were only told “to promise to respect local values and norms”.

“It’s not just about religion or faith. The conflict was more of a social issue. Being a good part of a neighborhood must involve an understanding to respect norms, values and cultures adopted by its people. If such a value system is violated, conflicts become prevalent. It’s as simple as that,” he said.

The minister claimed seven Shia families had returned home via the enlightenment process.

The 235 displaced Shiites from 69 families were evicted from their villages in Sampang after angry Salafi local residents set their homes ablaze in August last year. Following the deadly conflict, the Shiites were forced to live at a temporary shelter at Sampang sports hall for 10 months.

Following reports of the very poor condition and lack of access to basic needs such as food and clean water in the sports hall, the government then provided modest apartments for their temporary shelters in Sidoarjo, pending the completion of the reconciliation process by the government-sanctioned team.

But the Shiites insisted the government must be able to facilitate their return home.

Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto previously said that the displaced Shiites would have to be permanently relocated to other places in Madura should the reconciliation process fail and the resistance of local residents to the Shiites’ home village persist.

The option, according to Djoko, has been endorsed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

A session at the UN Human Rights Committee in Geneva earlier this year resulted in criticisms against the Indonesian government for its failure to protect the Shia community.

جنرل جعفری: شام پرحملے کی ناکامی انقلاب اسلامی کے سامنے دشمن کی تازہ شکست ہے

 جنرل جعفری: شام پرحملے کی ناکامی انقلاب اسلامی کے سامنے دشمن کی تازہ شکست ہے

رپورٹ کے مطابق سپاہ پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی کے کمانڈر انچیف میجر جنرل محمد علی جعفری نے آج (16 ستمبر 2013 کی) صبح سپاہ پاسداران کے کمانڈروں سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اسلامی انقلاب بیرونی سطح پر بہت ہی اچھی حالت میں ہے اور ہم مزاحمت محاذ کے سامنے استکباری محاذ کی مسلسل ناکامیوں کا مشاہدہ کررہے ہیں اور دیکھ رہے ہیں کہ مقبوضہ فلسطین، عراق اور لبنان میں انقلاب اسلامی کا محاذ مزاحمت پوری قوت سے اپنے راستے پر گامزن ہے۔
انھوں نے کہا: محاذ مزاحمت کے مقابلے میں دشمن اور استکبار کی تازہ ترین شکست شام میں رقم ہوئی۔ وہ ایک سازش کے تحت فوجی مداخلت کرنا چاہتے ہيں لیکن ان کی سازش ناکام رہی۔ حالانکہ دشمن نے کہا تھا کہ "اگر وہ شام پر غلبہ نہ پاسکیں تو ایران پر بھی غلبہ نہیں پاسکیں گے"۔
انھوں نے کہا: اسلامی انقلاب کے بیرونی پہلو کا ایک خاص نکتہ اسلامی تہذیب کی تعمیر و تشکیل کے حوالے سے رہبر انقلاب اسلامی امام خامنہ ای تدبیر ہے، چنانچہ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ انقلاب اسلامی صرف ایرانیوں کے کھانے پینے کے لئے نہیں بلکہ اس کو پوری دنیا کے مسلمانوں کی فکر ہے اور ہم دنیا میں خدا کی مشیت اور مدد سے ایک اسلامی تہذیب کی تعمیر کررہے ہیں۔
سپاہ پاسداران کے کمانڈر انچیف نے کہا: تسدید (Deterrence) کی قوت معرض وجود میں لانا اور خوف و خطر کا توازن (Balance of Risk and Fear) برقرار کرنا بھی سپاہ پاسداران کی کارکردگی کے بیرونی پہلو کا ایک نکتہ ہے جو ملکک دفاعی قوت کے پیش نظر معرض وجود میں آیا ہے۔
انھوں نے مزید کہا: 11 ستمبر کے بعد کے عشرے میں امریکہ نے ایران کو فوجی خطرے سے دوچار کرنے اور اسلامی انقلاب کو قابو میں لانے کے لئے وسیع منصوبہ سازیاں کی ہیں لیکن ہم آج دیکھ رہے ہیں کہ اس نے پوری قوت سے اسلامی ایران کی سرحدوں کے قریب کیمپ قائم کئے ہیں، اور ان ہی کے بقول ایران کا محاصرہ کئے بیٹھے ہیں لیکن حتی کسی صورت میں بھی ایران کو فوجی لحاظ سے خطرات سے دوچار نہیں کرسکے ہیں اور حتی زبان پر ایران کو جنگی دھمکی دینے کی جرات نہیں کرسکے ہیں اور یہی وہ خوف و خطر کا توازن ہے جو سپاہ پاسداران کی بنیادی تزویر (Strategy) میں مدنظر رکھا گیا ہے اور اسلامی جمہوریہ کی یہ قوت آج دفاعی، امن و امان اور سماجی امور میں بخوبی دیکھی جاسکتی ہے۔
جنرل جعفری نے کہا: سی آئی نے اس سال ایک شہادت نامہ جاری کرکے کہا ہے کہ "سپاہ پاسداران حالیہ برسوں میں اسرائیل اور امریکہ جیسے تزویری دشمنوں کے ساتھ تزویری تقابل کی حد تک ترقی کرکے اوپر جاچکی ہے اور آج سپاہ پاسداران امریکہ کے لئے ناقابل انکار خطرہ سمجھی جاتی ہے"۔ عسکری طاقت اور تسدیدی قوت
ـ جو آج سپاہ پاسداران سمیت ہماری مسلح افواج نے حاصل کی ہے ـ اللہ کے لطف اور فضل کے سوا کچھ نہیں ہے اور یہ خوف اللہ تعالی نے دشمن کے دلوں میں بسایا ہے۔
انھوں نے کہا: ہمارے دشمن تمام شعبوں میں ایران کے خلاف منصوبہ سازی اور سازشوں میں مصروف ہیں اور ان سازشوں کو بیک وقت ہمارے خلاف عملی جامہ پہناتے ہیں؛ جس کی مثالیں 2009 میں صدارتی انتخابات کے بعد عالمی فتنے، ثقاتی یلغار اور انٹیلجنس و سائبر کے میدانوں میں جنگوں، سے عبارت ہیں لیکن ان خطرات اور دشمنیوں کے عروج میں ہم علاقے میں استکبار اور صہیونیت کے خلاف محاذ مزاحمت کی زبردست اور کامیاب مزاحمت جاری ہے۔
یہ تقریر مفصل تھی جس کے بعض نکات درج بالا متن میں موجود نہیں ہیں چنانچہ بعض نکات کی طرف اشارہ ضروری ہے؛ جنرل محمد علی جعفری نے کہا:
٭ شام پر امریکی حملے کی صورت میں سپاہ پاسداران اپنے متعینہ فرائض پر پوری طرح عمل کرے گا۔
٭ بے شک امریکہ اگر شام کے خلاف فوجی اقدام کرے تو اس کو بےشمار مسائل کا سامنا کرنا پڑے گا؛ امید ہے کہ امریکہ دانشمندی سے کام لے اور اپنے آپ کو ہلاکت میں نہ ڈالے۔ اگر امریکہ فوجی اقدام کرے تو ہم اپنی ذمہ داری ضرور نبھائیں گے۔
٭ دشمن شام میں شکست کھا گیا ہے اور ہمیں امید ہے کہ اس کی سازشیں ہمیشہ ہمیشہ شکست پر منتج ہوں۔
٭ دشمنوں کا اعتراف ہے کہ اگر وہ شام پر غلبہ نہ پاسکیں تو ایران پر بھی غلبہ نہ پاسکیں گے اور ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں کہ وہ شام پر غلبہ پانے میں ناکام ہوچکے ہیں۔ یہ سرحدوں سے باہر ہمارے انقلاب کی تسدیدی قوت کی علامت ہے۔  

Hindi poet 'Kumar Vishwas' faces criticism from Shia community for mocking tragedy of Karbala

 Hindi poet 'Kumar Vishwas' faces criticism from Shia community for mocking tragedy of Karbala:
Aam Aadmi party member and a famous poet Dr Kumar Vishwas faces flak from the Shia community as an old video of his surfaces where he is found mocking the ‘mourning’ ritual of the tragedy of Karbala.

Although Dr Vishwas got the 35 second video removed from the YouTube on copyright issue, the video has since gone viral with people sharing it on social media and through other mobile applications.

Dr Vishwas has since issued a video statement alleging that the video has been edited from a longer programme to present him in bad light, adding that he respects all faith. He accused some vested interest of trying to defame him since he has taken to activism and joined hands with Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal.

Majority of the Shia community have denounced the mockery by the poet and academician turned politician by launching 23 FIRs all over India. 8 cases have already been filed in Lucknow, 4 in Chennai, 3 in Bhavnagar, 2 in Andheri (Mumbai), 1 in Dongri (Mumbai), 1 in BKC (Mumbai), 2 in Hyderabad, 1 in Aurangabad, 1 in Talaza, Gujarat.

The link to original clip of the video on YouTube has been suspended, “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Vishvas Kumar Sharma,” it reads.

The members of Khoja and Dawoodi Bohra community as well as others from Muslim community are reproachful towards punishing him.

In one of his video apology Kumar Vishwas said, “These are the malicious works of the political parties who are extracting these kinds of clips and making it out of text which will hurt anybody’s sentiments”.

Several civil society members and other organisations have demanded that if indeed what Kumar Vishwas is saying is right, he should made public the full video as clarification. They, however, urged the people to maintain calm and not play into the hands of communal forces.

Hypocricy of Malaysian Mufti:

 
Hypocricy of Malaysian Mufti:
 The bitter sectarianism that has been engulfing the Middle East appears to be spreading to parts of Southeast Asia.

Mufti Datuk Wan Zahidi Wan Teh, a radical Islamist in Malaysia, called for cutting all ties to Iran because of its adherence to Shi’a Islam.

“Shiism could be regarded as a 'poison' that can destroy the harmony and security of the country as what is happening in some other countries, including Iran, Iraq and Pakistan,” Wan Zahidi claimed, BBC Monitoring reported, citing a report in the Malaysian paper, Berita Harian, one of the country’s oldest papers.

The report added that Wan Zahidi said Malaysia should emulate Morocco is severing ties with Iran, and said that “The Shiite teachings must be blocked, just as we restricted the spread of Communism in this country some time ago.”

The radical Islamist reportedly made the remarks at the Islamic Center in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend, which was holding a seminar titled “Facing the Shiite Virus.”

Wan Zahidi is known for his controversial comments and claims.

Wan Zahidi’s comments and the anti-Shi’a conference seem to reflect a growing anti-Shi’a trend in Malaysia, which is over 60 percent Islamic and about 20 percent Buddhist.

Last month, a minister from the Prime Minister’s Department told reporters that Shi’a inside Malaysia were not allowed to propagate their religion.

“It is not wrong for them to practice Shia Islam, just like it isn’t wrong for Malaysian Chinese to practice Buddhism,” the minister said at a press conference. “But they can’t spread the ideology to the local Muslims, who are Sunnis.”

Reports in the Malaysian media have also said that persons in possession of Shi’a religious materials had been arrested and faced up to two years in prison along with fines.

There has always been a degree of sectarianism in Malaysian society, although this could be increasing.

According to one estimate by the Middle East Institute, many Sunni Malaysians have chosen to convert to Shi’ism voluntarily. This is especially controversial among Malaysian religious authorities.
