"UN: 1 more year for peacekeepers in Lebanon" by Michael Weissenstein, Associated Press Writer | August 27, 2008
UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Wednesday to keep a peacekeeping force in Lebanon for another year, calling for stepped-up efforts to achieve a permanent cease-fire and long-term resolution of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
The 13,300-strong U.N. force known as UNIFIL was deployed along Lebanon's border with Israel after the war to help 15,000 Lebanese troops extend their authority into the south for the first time in decades and create a buffer zone free of Hezbollah fighters.
The 34-day war, which killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon and 159 people in Israel, was sparked after Hezbollah men attacked an Israeli border patrol, killing three soldiers and capturing two more, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.
Notice how they leave the fact that it was on the Lebanese side ambiguous?!
Nice going, jewsmedia!
The resolution calls on all parties to respect the cessation of hostilities and the U.N.-drawn Blue Line boundary between Israel and Lebanon.
Yeah, ISRAEL VIOLATES THEM DAILY with OVERFLIGHTS and yet you NEVER HEAR a WORD from the shit Zionist press!!!
After the resolution was adopted, Israel's deputy ambassador, Daniel Carmon, decried what he called the presence of armed Hezbollah fighters in the south, and the continuing transport of weapons from Iran and Syria in violation of Security Council resolutions.
Israel expects UNIFIL to ensure that the area it patrols is not used for hostile activities, he said.
Again, the Jewish propaganda is overwhelming here. It's backfired, NaZionist scum, because I hate you now and forever!!!!
Lebanese envoy Nawaf Salam said Lebanon's deployment of troops to the south was evidence of its compliance with the resolution that halted the fighting. He accused Israel of violating its terms by refusing to disclose where cluster bombs were used and continuing to carry out overflights of Lebanon.
But when you RUN the WORLD you can do that!
A team of United Nations security experts found during a July trip to Lebanon that the government had not made sufficient progress on a set of recommendations issued by the U.N. last year to help the country secure its borders against arms smuggling, according to a new report.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has alleged that Hezbollah has rearmed with new long-range rockets and missiles since its 2006 war with Israel in violation of a U.N. arms embargo that bans weapons transfers to the militant Islamic group. Ban has said that sophisticated weapons from Iran and Syria -- both strong backers of Hezbollah -- have passed across the Lebanon-Syria border.
Shit shovel, shit shovel, shit shovel!!
See how the fucking shitstink state has the UN in its pocket?

"Officer and civilians among 11 killed in Kashmir" by Ashok Pahalwan | August 27, 2008
JAMMU, India (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants who slipped across the border from Pakistan into Indian Kashmir were shot dead by security forces after they killed six people in the Hindu-majority region of Jammu on Wednesday, police said.
Gee, which Mossad team was that? WHO would want to STIR SHIT UP, folks?
CUI BONO?
The three militants disguised as policemen were holed up in a house for 18 hours where they killed three of nine hostages they were holding and set booby traps, officials said. They had earlier shot dead two civilians and an army officer, before forcing their way into the house.
In central Kashmir, two protesters were killed and more than a dozen injured when troops fired on protesters who police said defied a curfew and shouted pro-independence slogans. The crisis has strained relations between India and Pakistan, which both claim the region in full but rule in parts, damaging a tentative peace process and raising fears Kashmir could again become a hotspot between the two nuclear rivals.
And CUI BONO as the WWIII pieces are moved into place?
Authorities in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir stopped hundreds of people from staging a protest march to the Line of Control to express solidarity with Indian Kashmiris. Thousands have died in a two-decade old insurgency against Indian rule.
In India's Kashmir valley, authorities have imposed a curfew this week to defuse protests by Muslim separatists. Police on Monday killed five protesters who defied the curfew in the Kashmir valley, bringing the death toll to at least 28. The demonstrations are the biggest against Indian rule since a revolt broke out in 1989.
More than 600 people have been injured in clashes over the two weeks of protests. Residents in the Kashmir valley said they were running short of food and essentials due to the four-day long curfew.
"There is nothing left to eat now except a little rice," Rabia Noor, a 35-year-old housewife who lives in Srinagar, told Reuters by telephone. Security forces have thrown barbed wire coils across roads in the valley and federal police are patrolling the deserted streets in Srinagar.
"The valley looks like a big prison," said 24-year-old Mohammad Usman, a university student. Authorities have detained four senior separatist leaders since Monday to defuse protests and raided the homes of another dozen leaders.
In the Kashmir valley, the protests have tentatively united a disparate group of separatists such as the All Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference, which condemns militant violence, and the breakaway group of hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani, for years seen as marginalised.
So who is he working for? CIA?
Tens of thousands of people have been killed in Kashmir since armed revolt against New Delhi's rule broke out two decades ago.

Why boil down to nothing and remove from the paper version of the web?
I think I've made my point, 'eh?
