Jihad Comes to China
Kathy Shaidle - Aug. 11
FrontPageMag 

Muslim terrorists and their apologists insist that violent jihad is a justifiable reaction to their targets’ support of Israel. Since China is most definitely not an ally of the “Zionist entity,” how will Islamist apologists spin the jihadist attacks that have marred the Beijing Olympics?
Uighur Islamic separatists killed eight people during a rash of suicide bombings on August 9, in the latest in a series of brazen terrorist attacks inside the communist police state. Terrorists targeted a dozen government offices with home-made explosives, just one day after the Turkistan Islamic Party released a video threatening to attack public transportation during the Games.
Earlier in the week, two Muslims drove a truck into a group of paramilitary police in Xinjiang province, then attacked the officers with knives, throwing explosives into their barracks. Sixteen officers died in the brazen attack. A local Communist Party official reported […]

Al Jazeera:
Pervez Musharraf, the Pakistani president, is unfit for office and should step down, the provincial assembly in Pakistan’s Punjab region has declared.
The vote by Pakistan’s most powerful province on Monday came after Musharraf’s spokesman said the embattled president would not step down.
The ruling by the Punjab’s assembly carries no constitutional weight, but supports plans by the country’s ruling coalition to finalise charges against Musharraf.
Pakistan’s parliament was expected to discuss impeachment proceedings on Monday but these failed to get under way and the body deliberating on drafting the charge sheet postponed its meeting until Tuesday…
…Charges against Musharraf have not been finalised, but the chief of the ruling party has reportedly accused the president of misappropriating hundreds of millions of dollars in US aid intended for the Pakistani military for supporting the so-called “war on terror”…
…Zardari {head of the ruling coalition] claimed the American aid may have gone to fund rogue members of […]

Press TV:
US Vice President Dick Cheney has threatened Russia after the country was forced to reply Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia’s region. 
In a phone conversation with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili on Sunday, Cheney said Russia’s military actions in Georgia ‘must not go unanswered’. 
Continuation of Russian attack ‘would have serious consequences for its relations with the United States, as well as the broader international community,’ Cheney’s press secretary, Lee Ann McBride, quoted him as telling Saakashvili… 
…Georgian military forces launched a large-scale military offensive against South Ossetia on Thursday evening hours before the start of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Russia, in response, moved its forces to the region. 
The conflict has left at least 2000 people dead.

Lusaka, Zambia - In Feb 2006, only three months before the Zambian government ratified the African Union’s Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa, a young girl student was calculatingly raped by her greatest authority figure, her own school teacher.
The minor and her guardian sued the teacher, the school and the Zambian Ministry of Education one year later, achieving a first ever court victory in Zambia on June 30, 2008.
During the case, presiding Judge, Philip Musonda, made his assessment in the High Court of Lusaka. “The government is responsible for all school going children in the care of it’s agents — such as teachers, school authorities and any other person in it’s employment during the time the schools are in session,” he said.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — A prolonged conflict in southwest Asia between Russia and Georgia could eventually benefit military contractors that build heavy weapon systems such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing Co., one analyst said Monday.
“No less than the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1978, [the] events of the past several days are a bell-ringer for defense stocks,” said Paul Nisbet, an analyst with JSA Research, an aerospace equity research firm. “We strongly urge purchase of aerospace/defense issues, a sector which has declined with the broad market since the start of the year.”

NEW DELHI: Is maritime terrorism across the Indian ocean gaining momentum? The Indian Ocean provides the shortest link between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It accounts for nearly half of the world’s container traffic, while two-thirds of the world’s oil imports flow through this region. Over 200 ships pass through the Malacca strait daily.
More than 15.5 million barrels of oil is shipped from the Persian Gulf by tankers each day through the Gulf of Hormuz. The Persian Gulf with 65 percent of the world’s reserves holds the key to global energy and economic progress.
