READ WHAT I WROTE HERE AND WHAT STEVE CAROL SAYS ABOUT THE MIDEAST AND ISRAEL ON JOHN LOEFFLER-WOW MY SUM UP SOUNDS HAND IN GLOVE TO HIS RESULTS.THE CONVERSATION STARTS AT 33 MINUTES OF THE SHOW TO 1 HR 08 MINUTES.I GO BY THE BIBLE,HE GOES BY WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN THE MIDEAST.MY TAKE MAR 29,11 BELOW.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS TIME THE NWO NOW HAVE THE EU ARMY TO ATTACK WHICH EVER COUNTRY DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT IDEAS.THEY CAN SANCTION THAT COUNTRY,THEN ATTACK WITH THE NATO RAPID REACTION FORCE LEAD BY THE EU.THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE EU AND ARAB COUNTRIES COMPLAINING ABOUT ISRAEL USING FORCE ON THE PALESTINIANS AND TELLING THE USELESS U.N. TO MAKE A RESOLUTION AGAINST ISRAEL IF THEY DO NOT DIVIDE JERUSALEM WITH THE PALESTINIANS,GIVING THEM THEIR OWN STATE,WE THE WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER EU WILL SANCTION ISRAEL AND USE OUR NATO WORLD GOVERNMENT RAPID REACTION TROOPS AGAINST YOU.OR WE WILL GIVE YOU A 2ND CHOICE:WE THE EU WILL GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY BY PUTTING OUR NEW WORLD ORDER TROOPS IN ISRAEL AND GAZA TO PROTECT YOU FROM TERRORIST ATTACKS FROM THE PALESTINIANS.LET YOU REBUILD THE 3RD TEMPLE ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT BUT NOT AT THE DOME OF THE ROCK BUT BY THE DOME OF THE SPIRITS.WE WILL PLACE OUR NATO TROOPS ON THE MOUNT TO GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY SO USE CAN SACRIFICE TO GOD.BUT YOU MUST GIVE THE PALESTINIANS THE EASTERN HALF OF JERUSALEM AND THE LAND FROM THE 1967 TAKIN.WE WILL GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY FOR A 7 YEAR PERIOD SO WE CAN FINALISE THE JERUSALEM HASSLE AND DIVIDE THE LAND BETWEEN YOU AND THE PALESTINIANS PROPERLY.
I BELIEVE WHEN NATO AND THE NWO TRY TO TAKE OVER SYRIA LIKE LIBYA.IT BACKFIRES AND NATO ENDS UP TOTALLY DESTROYING DAMASCUS BEFORE THEY FINALLY PUT THEIR PUPPET IN.OBAMA AND NATO WILL PROBABLY DO THIS WITH A FEW MIDEAST COUNTRIES TO GET THE BUGS OUT.MAYBE GO AFTER IRAN.BUT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO TRAP(FORCE) ISRAEL INTO DIVIDING ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM UNDER THE NEW WORLD ORDER-EU'S CONTROL.AND THE MUSLIMS, RUSSIA, CHINA WILL ALL BE WORKING TO THIS END ALSO.
WELL NOW WE HAVE AND IDEA WHY THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT CREW WANTS THIS CHAOS IN THE MIDEAST UNDER THEIR NATO TROOPS TO RAPIDLY ATTACK COUNTRIES,END UP WITH THE OIL,PAY FOR THE ATTACKS WITH THE MONEY CONFISCATED FROM THE LEADER OF THE COUNTRY.GET RID OF THE COUNTRIES LEADER BY FORCE(FALSE FLAG)AL-QUIDA ARMIES AND INSTALL THEIR PUPPET LEADER.TTHE ULTIMATE GOAL IS CONTROL OR DESTROY ISRAEL LIKE GLENN BECK MENTIONED.
Israel to Become a Religious State in 19 Years
by Maayana Miskin APR 4,11
Professor Arnon Sofer, chair of Geo-strategy at the University of Haifa, has published a report predicting a religious majority in Israel by 2030.Professor Sofer sees this as a negative development.His study assumes natural growth of 6-7% in the hareidi-religious sector, which would lead to a hareidi population of more than one million by 2030. The national religious sector, which is involved actively in all spheres of Israeli productivity, is not given separate treatment, leading to a skewing of the predicted outcomes.In one possible outcome, says Professor Sofer, the secular majority would band together in time to create a secular revolution.If not, Sofer said, the second outsome would be the rise of a religious majority that would force the secular minority to learn to live in a religious world.A third possible outcome would be the annexation of Judea and Samaria, which Sofer feels would lead to the continued weakening of democracy in the face of anti-democratic forces, a Knesset that does not function, and growing anarchy.Sofer assumes that the hareidi-religious population would continue to have relatively low employment despite demographic changes and despite statistics that show a rapidly increasing enrollment of hareidi students in work training programs.As the hareidi population grows, so does the gap between the hareidi population and the rest of the country, and greater sums are necessary in order to close that gap. The difference in participation in the work force not only creates a complete dependency on the working class, but also a growing inequality, dissatisfaction, bitterness... among tax-payers, he declared.
Other changes Sofer predicted in case of a religious majority: a school system that teaches Torah, a justice system based in Jewish law (halakha), and the disappearance of many of today's popular entertainment programs. The changes would lead many secular Israelis to leave the country, he said.He called to prevent the scenarios he predicted by forcing all schools to teach democratic and Western values.If the decision-makers do not wake up, the Zionist vision will reach a tragic end with the people of Israel's return to exile, to again face anti-Semitism and assimilation, was his far-reaching conclusion.Professor Sofer has published similarly gloomy predictions in the past, including a famous 1987 claim that by 2000 Israel would no longer be a Jewish state. Israel maintains a strong Jewish majority of 80%, similar to the situation when Sofer's prediction was made.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

More customers exposed as big data breach grows
By Jonathan Spicer and Maria Aspan – Sun Apr 3, 7:27 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The names and e-mails of customers of Citigroup Inc and other large U.S. companies, as well as College Board students, were exposed in a massive and growing data breach after a computer hacker penetrated online marketer Epsilon.
In what could be one of the biggest such breaches in U.S. history, a diverse swath of companies that did business with Epsilon stepped forward over the weekend to warn customers some of their electronic information could have been exposed.Drugstore Walgreen, Video recorder TiVo Inc, credit card lender Capital One Financial Corp and teleshopping company HSN Inc all added their names to a list of targets that also includes some of the nation's largest banks.The names and electronic contacts of some students affiliated with the U.S.-based College Board -- which represents some 5,900 colleges, universities and schools -- were also potentially compromised.No personal financial information such as credit cards or social security numbers appeared to be exposed, according to the company statements and e-mails to customers.
Epsilon, an online marketing unit of Alliance Data Systems Corp, said on Friday that a person outside the company hacked into some of its clients' customer files. The vendor sends more than 40 billion e-mail ads and offers annually, usually to people who register for a company's website or who give their e-mail addresses while shopping.We learned from our e-mail provider, Epsilon, that limited information about you was accessed by an unauthorized individual or individuals, HSN, also an e-commerce operator, said in an e-mail to customers on Sunday.This information included your name and e-mail address and did not include any financial or other sensitive information. We felt it was important to notify you of this incident as soon as possible.Citigroup customer names and some credit card customers' e-mail addresses -- but no account information -- were part of the data breach, the third-largest U.S. bank said on Saturday.The College Board, which administers the SAT admissions tests, on Saturday warned students about the breach and asked them to be cautious about receiving links or attachments from unknown third parties, according to two e-mails reviewed by Reuters.The not-for-profit organization is in contact with more than 7 million students, according to its website. It did not immediately return calls for comment.
PROBING FOR ANSWERS
Law enforcement authorities are investigating the breach, though it was unclear on Sunday how many customers or students had been exposed. Epsilon is also looking into what went wrong.While we are cooperating with authorities and doing a thorough investigation, we cannot say anything else, said Epsilon spokeswoman Jessica Simon.We can't confirm any impacted or non-impacted clients, or provide a list (of companies) at this point in time.Capital One, which also runs a bank, and Walgreens, the largest U.S. drugstore, said the Epsilon hacker accessed its customer e-mail addresses, but no personally identifiable information.TiVo, a maker of digital video recorders, said the information that was obtained was limited to e-mail addresses and clients' first names.The incident comes three years after hackers penetrated Heartland Payment Systems, a credit and debit card processor, in one of the biggest identity-theft cases in U.S. history.In that case, notorious hacker Albert Gonzalez led a ring that stole more than 40 million payment card numbers, and was later sentenced to 20 years in prison. On Friday, JPMorgan Chase & Co, the second-largest U.S. bank, and Kroger Co, the biggest U.S. supermarket operator, said that some customers were exposed as part of the Epsilon data breach.Citigroup announced that it had been affected on Saturday evening. Spokesman Sean Kevelighan said the bank started informing its customers of the breach on Friday through a link on its website.Some of Epsilon's other clients include Verizon Communications Inc, Blackstone Group LP's Hilton Hotels, Kraft Foods Inc, and AstraZeneca.(Reporting by Jonathan Spicer and Maria Aspan, editing by Maureen Bavdek, Diane Craft and Gunna Dickson)
Interpublic Facebook stake valued at $200-$300 million: report
– Sun Apr 3, 8:40 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – Advertising group Interpublic Group owns a stake in Facebook that could be valued at roughly $200 million to $300 million, The Financial Times reported.The exact size of the stake has not been disclosed, but people close to Interpublic say it owns slightly less than a half percent of Facebook, the newspaper said in its electronic edition. Interpublic paid less than $5 million for the stake in 2006, the newspaper said.Interpublic's stake of 0.4 percent would be worth $200 million, based on a Facebook valuation of about $50 billion, the newspaper said.Interpublic could not be immediately reached for comment.(Reporting by Jessica Hall; Editing by Dhara Ranasinghe)
Israeli Leftist Journalist to Head Netanyahu's Advisers
by Maayana Miskin APR 3,11
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has assembled a team to advise him in advance of the next national elections, to be held in November 2013. Likud spokeswoman Noga Rapaport explained that the team will help the Prime Minister with political-media strategy.The team will be headed by Orit Galili-Zucker, formerly a journalist with the radical left-wing Haaretz paper. She was adviser to Defense Minister Ehud Barak prior to the 2009 elections.Galili-Zucker recently accused Jewish leaders in Judea and Samaria of dealing in blood following the murder of five members of the Fogel family of Itamar. She accused the Yesha (Judea and Samaria) Council in particular of being devoid of rational arguments, full of messianic-spiritual rhetoric, and pathetically obsessed with measuring the number of inches and the smear of the pornographic color red in media reporting on the attack.She praised Netanyahu for quieting the settlers with measured building in response to the attack.The team's task will be to pull together the most up-to-date information on political campaigns for the Prime Minister, and to integrate a female point of view, which was missing until now, in the team accompanying the Prime Minister,Rapaport said.Netanyahu is remaining true to the standard practice in Western democracies, in which leaders begin to worry about reelection after completing half of their term, she added.

More Smuggling into Gaza Since Egypt Upheaval
by Gil Ronen APR 3,11
Since the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, the level of security and control over the Sinai has decreased, and there is more smuggling and a greater probability of terror attempts, the head of Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi, told the Cabinet Sunday.Maj.-Gen. Kochavi gave a lengthy description of the recent events in the Middle East, their background and their implications for Israel. He said that the changes in the region were historical ones and will continue to affect the Middle East for years to come. For the first time, he added, Arab leaders find that they need to take public opinion into account. The current leadership in Egypt, as well as the top contenders for future leadership in the country, see strategic importance in the peace treaty with Israel, he determined.Hamas is the central force in Gaza, Kochavi said, but recently Islamic Jihad has gained strength. Hamas prefers to exert control over the [other terror] organizations through dialogue and not through force, he explained.Iran and the radical camp in the Middle East gained confidence at the start of the Middle East upheaval, but are now more worried about the dangers from home and are concerned that events in Syria could weaken a central link in the radical axis.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Engineers pin hopes on polymer to stop nuke leak By RYAN NAKASHIMA and MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press - Sun Apr 3, 11:46 am ET
TOKYO – Engineers pinned their hopes on chemicals, sawdust and shredded newspaper to stop highly radioactive water pouring into the ocean from Japan's tsunami-ravaged nuclear plant Sunday as officials said it will take several months to bring the crisis under control, the first time they have provided a timetable.Concrete already failed to stop the tainted water spewing from a crack in a maintenance pit, and the new mixture did not appear to be working either, but engineers said they were not abandoning it.The Fukushima Da-ichi plant has been leaking radioactivity since the March 11 tsunami carved a path of destruction along Japan's northeastern coast, killing as many as 25,000 people and knocking out key cooling systems that kept it from overheating. People living within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the plant have been forced to abandon their homes.The government said Sunday it will be several months before the radiation stops and permanent cooling systems are restored. Even after that happens, there will be years of work ahead to clean up the area around the complex and figure out what to do with it.It would take a few months until we finally get things under control and have a better idea about the future, said Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama.We'll face a crucial turning point within the next few months, but that is not the end.His agency said the timetable is based on the first step, pumping radioactive water into tanks, being completed quickly and the second, restoring cooling systems, being done within a matter of weeks or months.Every day brings some new problem at the plant, where workers have often been forced to retreat from repair efforts because of high radiation levels. On Sunday, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced it had found the bodies of two workers missing since the tsunami.Radiation, debris and explosions kept workers from finding them until Wednesday, and then the announcement was delayed several days out of respect for their families.
TEPCO officials said they believed the workers ran down to a basement to check equipment after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that preceded the tsunami. They were there when the massive wave swept over the plant.It pains us to have lost these two young workers who were trying to protect the power plant amid the earthquake and tsunami, TEPCO Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata said in a statement.On Saturday, workers discovered an 8-inch (20-centimeter) crack in a maintenance pit at the plant and said they believe water from it may be the source of some of the high levels of radioactive iodine that have been found in the ocean for more than a week.This is the first time they have found radioactive water leaking directly into the sea. A picture released by TEPCO shows water shooting some distance away from a wall and splashing into the ocean, though the amount is not clear. No other cracks have been found.The radioactive water dissipates quickly in the ocean but could be dangerous to workers at the plant.Engineers tried to seal the crack with concrete Saturday, but that effort failed.So on Sunday they went farther up the system and injected sawdust, three garbage bags of shredded newspaper and a polymer — similar to one used to absorb liquid in diapers — that can expand to 50 times its normal size when combined with water.The polymer mix in the passageway leading to the pit had not stopped the leak by Sunday night, but it also had not leaked out of the crack along with the water, so engineers were stirring it in an attempt to get it to expand. They expected to know by Monday morning if it would work.Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people are still living in shelters, 200,000 households do not have water, and 170,000 do not have electricity.Running water was just restored in the port city of Kesennuma on Saturday, and residents lined up Sunday to see a dentist who had flown in from the country's far north to offer his services. Many were elderly and complaining of problems with their dentures. Overhead and throughout the coastal region, helicopters and planes roared by as U.S. and Japanese forces finished their all-out search for bodies.The effort, which ended Sunday, is probably the final hope for retrieving the dead, though limited operations may continue. It has turned up nearly 50 bodies in the past two days.In all, more than 12,000 deaths have been confirmed, and another 15,500 people are missing. Associated Press writers Mayumi Saito, Noriko Kitano and Shino Yuasa in Tokyo and Jay Alabaster in Kesennuma contributed to this report.
Factbox: Japan's disaster in figures
– Sun Apr 3, 8:17 pm ET
(Reuters) – The following lists the impact of the earthquake and tsunami that rocked the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 and the subsequent crisis at a nuclear power plant.
DEATH TOLL
* A total of 12,087 people were confirmed dead by Japan's National Police Agency as of 1100 GMT on Sunday, while 15,552 were missing.
NUMBER OF PEOPLE EVACUATED
* More than 161,600 people were in shelters around the country as of 1100 GMT on Sunday following evacuation, the National Police Agency said.The government has set up an evacuation area around a quake-stricken nuclear plant in the northeast with a 20-km (12-mile) radius. More than 70,000 people lived in a largely rural area within the 20 km zone. It is unclear how many of them have been evacuated, but most are believed to have left.Another 136,000 people were within a zone extending a further 10 km in which residents are recommended to leave or stay indoors.
HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
* A total of 167,700 households in the north were without electricity as of 0700 GMT on Sunday, Tohuku Electric Power Co said.
HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT WATER
* At least 200,000 households in eight prefectures were without running water as of early on Sunday, the Health Ministry said.
NUMBER OF BUILDINGS DAMAGED
* 45,777 buildings have been completely destroyed, washed away or burned down, the National Police Agency of Japan said as of 1100 GMT on Sunday.
IMPACT ON ECONOMY
The government has said it estimated damage from the earthquake and tsunami at 16 trillion to 25 trillion yen ($190 billion-$297 billion). The top estimate would make it the world's costliest natural disaster.The estimate covers damage to roads, homes, factories and other infrastructure, but excludes lost economic activity from power outages and costs arising from damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, as well as the impact of swings in financial markets and business sentiment.The yen spiked to a record high against the dollar after the quake, prompting the first joint intervention by the Group of Seven rich nations in 11 years to help shield Japan's export-reliant economy.Japanese shares have shed more than 5 percent since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and a subsequent nuclear safety crisis, triggered the biggest two-day rout in the market since 1987. Japan's reconstruction spending will almost certainly exceed that of the 1995 quake in Kobe, when the government needed extra budgets of more than 3 trillion yen.The government may need to spend more than 10 trillion yen in emergency budgets for post-quake disaster relief and reconstruction, with part of them possibly covered by new taxes, Deputy Finance Minister Mitsuru Sakurai signaled on Thursday.
NUMBER OF COUNTRIES OFFERING AID
According to the Foreign Ministry, 134 countries and 39 international organisations have offered assistance. ($1 = 84.06 Japanese Yen)(Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Daniel Magnowski)

Former CIA officer blows lid off libya fraud live on CNN
The American Dream April 4, 2011
Every once in a while, establishment control of the mainstream media cracks for a moment. In an effort to achieve higher ratings, mainstream news programs will invite guests on that promise to be interesting, but then they will say something that is not part of the script and the entire system will go into a state of chaos for a moment. One example of this happened recently when two CNN infobabes interviewed former CIA officer Michael Scheuer about the situation on the ground in Libya. They asked Scheuer some questions regarding the role of the CIA in Libya, but the interview rapidly moved in some directions that the infobabes were not anticipating. Instead of sticking to the Republican or the Democrat script, Scheuer ripped both parties and he detailed many of the reasons why we should have never gone into Libya at all.The infobabes grew increasingly uncomfortable as Scheuer described how large numbers of the resistance fighters in Libya have fought against U.S. troops in the Balkans, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. They did not seem pleased at all when Scheuer declared that the civil war in Libya is none of our business and that to the rest of the world this conflict looks like Americans killing Muslims for oil all over again.The funniest part of the interview was when Scheuer accused one of the infobabes of carrying the water for Mr. Obama. After that statement, the female anchor that Scheuer was addressing was visibly flustered and quickly went to a commercial.
Video of this CNN interview with Michael Scheuer is posted below. This is a video that should be shared with everyone you know….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDVt_hSo_EU&feature=player_embedded
Wasn’t that hilarious?
When a big time establishment news network such as CNN goes off script it can be a beautiful thing to watch.Of course Scheuer was exactly right. We never should have gotten involved in the civil war in Libya. It was none of our business. When the rebels picked up arms and started shooting at government forces, they should not have been surprised when Gadhafi’s forces started shooting back.Over the past few decades, there have been some very real genocides happening all over Africa, but the U.S. never seemed to care about any of those.But now the mainstream media has been trying really hard to spin the civil war in Libya into a great humanitarian crisis.
Well, that might fool some of the American people, but as Scheuer aptly pointed out, the rest of the world sees this as just another U.S. war in the Middle East for oil (and banking).But instead of getting a balanced view of the war in Libya, most of the time the corporate media has focused on an endless parade of establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats that fully endorse the war. Of course the Republicans all try to score some political points by questioning how Obama is going about doing things, but in the end most Republicans and most Democrats are fully on board with what is going on in Libya.Nearly everyone in the mainstream media seems to be fully on board with this war as well.
Why?
Well, because virtually all of the major media outlets are owned by the establishment, and the establishment wants this war.Have you ever noticed that the news seems to have the same flavor no matter what channel you turn to? There is a very good reason for that.In an article that I previously authoried entitled Who Owns The Media?, I explained that six incredibly dominant corporations control most of the news that we see today….Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don’t even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don’t really seem to care about who owns the media. But they should. The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media. The average American watches 153 hours of television a month. In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year.
The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the big six absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States.Yes, there are always some minor differences in news broadcasts, and in recent years we have seen outlets such as Fox News attempt to become the establishment Republican news and outlets such as MSNBC attempt to become the establishment Democrat news, but at the end of the day the kind of news that we get from all of them is pretty much the same.But sometimes there are moments when establishment control of the news crumbles for just a moment.Another example of this happened recently when Donald Trump made an appearance on The View. Not that Donald Trump is a huge rebel, but apparently he has not gotten the message that you are not supposed to question Barack Obama’s birth certificate on television.The following is video footage of Trump’s absolutely chaotic recent appearance on The View….

In the United States today, if you want to get into college or if you want to apply for a good job usually you have to give a great deal of information about your background and produce a whole host of documentation about your past. For many jobs, applicants actually must be willing to submit to a very thorough formal background check.Whatever you may think about Obama, you have to admit that what he has been able to accomplish is rather extraordinary. He applied for the most important job in the world, and yet he kept vast sections of his background a complete and total secret. He did not produce his birth certificate, he did not produce his Columbia University transcript (or much information at all regarding his educational background), there are quite a few years of his life that really can’t be accounted for at all and there are very serious questions about his Social Security number.Yet in spite of all that he convinced the American people to make him the president of the United States.That has got to make Barack Obama one of the greatest con men in U.S. history.Hopefully in the future a law will be passed or the American people will demand that all politicians disclose at least the most basic information about their backgrounds.For Obama to be able to get this far while keeping vast portions of his background a complete and total secret is absolutely mind blowing.In any event, it has been refreshing to see some cracks appear in the control of the mainstream news lately.Whether it is the war in Libya or whether it is Barack Obama’s background, the truth is that we should all be free to ask the important questions.Our founding fathers believed very strongly in freedom of speech for a reason. Free speech shines light in dark places and it holds people accountable. Free speech protects our freedoms and it keeps tyranny at bay.Free speech is very precious and it is easily lost. Once free speech is gone it is incredibly difficult to get back. Let us cling to free speech and cherish it deeply, because it is absolutely central to who we are as a nation.
Libyan envoy takes Gaddafi message to Greece
By Maria Golovnina - APR 4,11
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – A Libyan government envoy has begun a trip to Europe to discuss an end to fighting, but gave no sign of any major climbdown in a war that has ground to a stalemate between rebels and forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi flew to Athens on Sunday carrying a personal message from Gaddafi to Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou that Libya wanted the fighting to end, a Greek government official told Reuters.It seems that the Libyan authorities are seeking a solution, Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas told reporters, adding Obeidi was next due to due travel to Malta and Turkey.But there was no indication on what Tripoli might be ready to offer -- beyond a willingness to negotiate -- to end a war that has become bogged down on a frontline in the eastern oil town of Brega, while leaving civilians trapped by Gaddafi's forces in the west.
Underlining the plight of civilians in western Libya, a Turkish ship that sailed into the besieged city of Misrata to rescue some 250 wounded had to leave in a hurry after crowds pressed forward on the dockside hoping to escape.It's a very hard situation ... We had to leave early, said Turkish consular official Ali Akin after the ship stopped to pick up more wounded in the eastern rebel stronghold Benghazi.
Turkey's foreign minister ordered the ship into Misrata after it spent four days waiting in vain for permission to dock.It arrived under cover from 10 Turkish air force F-16 fighter planes and two navy frigates, Akin told Reuters.
STALEMATE IN BREGA
The U.N.-mandated military intervention that began on March 19 was meant to protect civilians caught up in fighting between Gaddafi's forces and the rebels.Neither Gaddafi's troops nor the disorganised rebel force have been able to gain the upper hand on the frontline, despite Western air power in effect aiding the insurgents.
After chasing each other up and down the coast road linking the oil ports of eastern Libya with Gaddafi's tribal heartland further west, they have become bogged down in Brega, a sparsely populated settlement spread over more than 25 km (15 miles).Yet Western countries, wary of becoming too entangled in another war after campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, have ruled out sending ground troops to help the rebels.The United States, which has handed over command of the operation to NATO, said it had agreed to extend the use of its strike aircraft into Monday because of poor weather last week.But it has stressed its desire to end its own involvement in combat missions, and shift instead to a support role in areas such as surveillance, electronic warfare and refuelling.Stephen Dalton, the head of Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF), was quoted as telling Monday's Guardian newspaper that the RAF was planning to continue its operations in Libya for at least six months. He said Britain would need planes for a number of months rather than a number of days or weeks.The stalemate on the frontline and the plight of civilians caught in fighting or facing food and fuel shortages has prompted a flurry of diplomatic contacts to find a way out.Papandreou had been talking by phone with officials in Tripoli as well as the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Britain over the past two days. Greece has enjoyed good relations with Gaddafi for a number of years.One diplomat cautioned, however, that any diplomatic compromise -- for example one in which Gaddafi handed over power to one of his sons -- could lead to the partition of Libya.That was a possibility ruled out by Western countries before the air strikes were launched.
Various scenarios are being discussed, said the diplomat.Everyone wants a quick solution.
REORGANISING REBEL RANKS
The rebels, meanwhile, are working to impose discipline among the ranks of their many inexperienced volunteers in order to not only hold their positions but push forward.If there were eventually to be a ceasefire leading to the partition of Libya, control of revenues from the oil ports, including Brega and Ras Lanuf to the west, would be crucial.The rebels named a crisis team with Gaddafi's former interior minister as their armed forces chief of staff, and attempted to stiffen their enthusiastic but untrained volunteer army by putting professional soldiers at its head.We are reorganising our ranks. We have formed our first brigade. It is entirely formed from ex-military defectors and people who've come back from retirement, former air force major Jalid al-Libie told Reuters in Benghazi.Without a backbone of regular forces, the lightly armed volunteer caravan has spent days dashing back and forth along the coast road on Brega's outskirts, scrambling away in pick-ups when Gaddafi's forces attack with rockets.In the west, Gaddafi's forces continued to besiege Misrata, shelling a building that had been used to treat wounded, a resident said, killing one person and wounding more.Misrata, Libya's third city, rose up with other towns against Gaddafi's rule in mid-February, but it is now surrounded by government troops after a violent crackdown put an end to most protests elsewhere in the west of the country.It is very, very bad. In my street, Gaddafi bombed us, said Ibrahim al-Aradi, 26, one of the evacuees on board the Turkish ship that brought the wounded from Misrata.We have no water, no electricity. We don't have medicine. There are snipers everywhere,he told Reuters.
After weeks of shelling and encirclement, Gaddafi's forces appear to be gradually loosening the rebels' hold on Misrata. Rebels say they still control the city center and the port, but government troops are pressing in.Accounts from Misrata cannot be independently verified because Libyan authorities are not allowing journalists to report freely from the city, 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli.Gaddafi's troops are also mopping up resistance southwest of Tripoli. Government forces shelled the small town of Yafran, killing two people, Arabiya television reported, quoting a witness. They also shelled the city of Zintan, a resident said.(Additional reporting by Renee Maltezou in Athens, Alexander Dziadosz in Brega, Angus MacSwan in Benghazi, Christian Lowe in Algiers, Tom Pfeiffer in Cairo, Joseph Nasr in Berlin, Justyna Pawlak in Brussels; Karolina Tagaris in London; Writing by Myra MacDonald; Editing by Kevin Liffey and Alison Williams)
US extends airstrike role in Libya through Monday By RICHARD LARDNER, Associated Press - APR 3,11
WASHINGTON – The U.S. agreed to NATO's request for a 48-hour extension of American participation in coalition airstrikes against targets in Libya and U.S. lawmakers cautioned Sunday the allies need to know more about the rebels fighting Moammar Gadhafi's forces before providing them with weapons.Two weeks into the assault on Gadhafi, Republican lawmakers expressed concern that a stalemate could leave him in control of portions of Libya and with access to stockpiles of chemical weapons.The U.S. is shifting the combat role to Britain, France and other NATO allies, but American air power is still in demand. Air Force AC-130 gunships and A-10 Thunderbolts and Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers will continue to attack Gadhafi's troops and other sites through Monday evening. These aircraft are among the most precise in the American arsenal.After Saturday, no U.S. combat aircraft were to fly strike missions over Libya unless NATO officials specifically asked and authorities in Washington gave their approval. NATO assumed full control last week from the U.S.-led international force for all aspects of the operation in Libya as authorized by U.N. resolutions that include an arms embargo, enforcing the no-fly zone, and protecting civilians from Gadhafi's forces.In an emailed statement, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said Sunday that poor weather conditions over the last few days were the reason the alliance made the request. She would not elaborate. This is a short-term extension which expires on Monday,she said.A senior U.S. military official said heavy cloud cover over Libya late last week curtailed allied airstrikes. Gadhafi took advantage of the lull, pushing east into the port cities of Ras Lanouf and Brega, the official said on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning. The 48-hour extension is intended to roll back the progress made by Gadhafi's army, the official said.A decision yet to be made by the Obama administration is whether to arm the rebels with the firepower they need to take and hold ground against Gadhafi's forces.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said there may be strains of al-Qaida within the rebel ranks and that the coalition should proceed with caution before arming them.We know they're against Moammar Gadhafi remaining in power, but we don't know what they are for, Rogers said.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid advocated a wait and see approach to giving the opposition forces weapons.I think at this stage we really don't know who the leaders of this rebel group are, said Reid, D-Nev.But Rogers also warned that if there were a stalemate in Libya, a cornered Gadhafi might resort to extreme measures against the opposition forces, such as the use of chemical weapons. Rogers said he has been to Libya and seen Gadhafi's chemical weapons.I think you have to worry that he's a terrorist threat, Rogers said.Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the coalition needs to take the air war to Libya's capital where Gadhafi and his inner circle are located. Striking targets in Tripoli will further fracture Gadhafi's government and push the Libyan leader from power, he said.The way to end this war is to have Gadhafi's inner circle to crack, Graham said.The way to get his inner circle to crack is to go after them directly.Like Rogers, Graham said he's concerned over the prospect of a stalemate in Libya. A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he faulted President Barack Obama for putting the U.S. into a supporting role and shifting the main combat burden to Britain, France and other NATO allies.To take the best air force in the world and park it during this fight is outrageous,Graham said. When we called for a no-fly zone, we didn't mean our planes.Allied military operations against Gadhafi's forces began March 19 with missiles and bombs targeting Libya's air defenses, communications networks, and ground forces. Obama has ruled out the use of U.S. ground troops in Libya. But the opposition lacks the proper organization and equipment to push back Gadhafi's army on its own.
Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said failing to arm the rebels could allow Gadhafi to maintain control over large swaths of Libya.We are concerned that regional support will waver if Western forces are perceived as presiding over a military deadlock, McCain and Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, wrote Friday in The Wall Street Journal.We cannot allow Gadhafi to consolidate his grip over part of the country and settle in for the long haul.Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in congressional testimony on Thursday that as few as 1,000 among the rebels are former members of Gadhafi's military.The rest are simply guys with guns, said James Dubik, a retired Army three-star general who says they need American or NATO advisers and trainers to be effective. They need help, Dubik wrote in an assessment for the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank in Washington.In an interview taped Sunday for ABC's Good Morning America, former President Bill Clinton said he wouldn't shut the door to arming the Libyan rebels. But Clinton, husband of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was quick to emphasize that he was not speaking for the Obama administration.Rogers appeared Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. Reid and Graham appeared on CBS's Face The Nation.Associated Press writer Robert Burns contributed to this report.
Gulf bloc strongly condemns Iran over Bahrain
– Sun Apr 3, 4:59 pm ET
CAIRO – Bahrain's state-run news agency says the Gulf's main political bloc has condemned Iran, accusing the Shiite country of trying to promote sectarian divisions in Bahrain.The statement comes after an emergency meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday. Members discussed the tense situation in Bahrain, where mostly Shiite demonstrators are demanding the fall of the island's Sunni monarchy.The also discussed an alleged Iranian spy network in Kuwait.Bahrain's news agency says the Gulf bloc expressed its deep concern over the continuing Iranian intervention in the internal matters of GCC countries by conspiring against their national security.The mostly Sunni Gulf bloc is traditionally suspicious of Iran. Tensions have flared over regional events.
Latest developments in Arab world's unrest
By The Associated Press – Sun Apr 3, 3:48 pm ET
A look at the latest developments in political unrest across the Middle East on Sunday:
LIBYA-The vice chairman of the Libyan rebels' council tells AP that their goal is to set up a parliamentary democracy in all of Libya once ruler Moammar Gadhafi is overthrown. The new regime would not accept extremism and terrorism, he says, and vows not to negotiate with Gadhafi.
SYRIA-Hundreds march in a suburb of Damascus to honor demonstrators killed while protesting against the government. President Bashar Assad appoints a former agriculture minister, a respected academic, to form a new government in an effort to satisfy the protesters.
YEMEN-Security forces fire tear gas at thousands of demonstrators in southern Yemen demanding the immediate resignation of their president. About 200 suffer from the effects of the gas, and three suffer minor injuries. Women started the protest march, and men joined after police attacked.
OMAN-Authorities release 57 demonstrators detained during the last week in an attempt to calm protesters, out of more than 100 who were detained in demonstrations around the country pushing for more job opportunities and greater political freedom.
BAHRAIN-The government lifted its ban on the main opposition newspaper after the editor resigned. The one-day ban was the latest step in a crackdown against protests rocking the tiny, strategic island kingdom. The paper, Al-Wasat, was expected to appear again on Monday. Majority Shiite Muslims are leading the protests against a Sunni dynasty that has ruled for two centuries.

Strong earthquake hits off Indonesia's main island
By ALI KOTARUMALOS, Associated Press - APR 4,11
JAKARTA, Indonesia – A strong earthquake hit off Indonesia's main island of Java early Monday, prompting authorities to briefly issue a tsunami warning that sent thousands of residents fleeing to higher ground.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.Following the tsunami warning, many in the town of Cilacap, closest to the quake's epicenter, poured into the grand mosque. When word finally came that the threat of a big wave had passed, they erupted in cheers, embraced one another or fell to their knees in thanks.We were very scared after seeing what happened in Japan — and also Aceh, of course, said Sukitno, a resident.But God listened to our prayers. He spared us! The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.7 quake that hit just after 3 a.m. was centered 200 miles (318 kilometers) off southern Java and 15 miles (24 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor.Both Indonesia and Japan are prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.A 2004 tsunami off Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations. Officials fear up to 25,000 may have died after last month's earthquake and tsunami in Japan.Associated Press writer Niniek Karmini contributed to this report from Jakarta.

Fukushima Plant Leaking Radiation Into Sea
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Saturday that water near an outlet of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is contaminated with radiation exceeding 1,000 millisierverts per hour, Reuters reported.TEPCO said the shaft, which stores supply cables, had a crack 20 centimeters long in the concrete that was allowing radiation to be leaked into the sea.Workers have begun pouring concrete into the shaft to seal the crack shortly after it was detected, TEPCO added.The spread of radioactive iodine in the sea presents no immediate danger to human health. However, the detection shows that contamination by radioactive substances has spread widely in the ocean off the Japan coast.Officials say contamination by radioactive iodine, which had been confirmed around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, has spread to southern sea areas due to north-south ocean currents.The officials also said the government is preparing to inject nitrogen into reactor buildings to prevent explosions caused by hydrogen leaking from the reactors.TEPCO resumed spraying of liquid synthetic resins in the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant compound on Saturday to prevent radioactive dust and particles from becoming airborne.The synthetic resins were initially developed to prevent sand and other materials from becoming airborne at construction sites. According to Kurita Water Industries Ltd., which manufactures the resins, they become solid in half a day when the weather is good and are effective for six to 12 months.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Energy said Friday that up to 70 percent of the large nuclear fuel stockpile at the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant and up to one-third of the No. 2 reactor of the plant is damaged.In Ishiro Honda's 1954 atomic horror classic Godzilla, the eponymous daikaiju (Japanese movie monster) came from the sea to attack Japan after radiation from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings contaminated the sea. While the original Godzilla was a metaphor for the bombings themselves he would, over his 28-film career, also be depicted as a protector of the world from environmental destruction. No one then imagined a made-in-Japan nuclear disaster that would overshadow the WWII bombings and whose environmental damage the world has yet to measure.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Japan says it may take months to end radiation leaks
By Chizu Nomiyama and Yoko Nishikawa - APR 3,11
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan's government warned on Sunday it may take months to stop radiation leaking from a nuclear plant crippled by a huge earthquake and tsunami three weeks ago, as more bodies were recovered in devastated areas of northeast Japan.An aide to embattled Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government's priority was to stop radiation leaks which were scaring the public and hindering work on cooling overheated nuclear fuel rods.We have not escaped from a crisis situation, but it is somewhat stabilized, said Goshi Hosono, a ruling party lawmaker and aide to Kan.How long will it take to achieve (the goal of stopping the radiation leakage)? I think several months would be one target, Hosono said on a nationwide Fuji TV programme on Sunday.Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) found a crack in a concrete pit at its No.2 reactor in the Fukushima Daiichi complex at the weekend, generating readings of 1,000 millisieverts of radiation per hour in the air inside.The leaks did not stop after concrete was poured into the pit, and TEPCO turned to water-absorbent polymers to prevent any more contaminated water from going out.The latest effort to staunch the flow of radioactive water into the Pacific started on Sunday afternoon. Workers then topped the polymers with more concrete.We were hoping the polymers would function like diapers but are yet to see a visible effect, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director general of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.Officials believe the crack could be one source of the radiation leaks that have hobbled efforts to control the six-reactor complex and sent radiation levels in the sea soaring to 4,000 times the legal limit.The battle to cool overheated reactors and avoid dangerous meltdowns of the highly radioactive fuel rods has seen workers hose saltwater into reactors, but this has left the facility awash with contaminated saltwater, preventing workers getting closer to the reactors.Nishiyama said fresh water was now being pumped into No. 1, 2 and 3 reactors using external power, which was more stable than the emergency diesel generators previously being used.He said the three reactors were now generally stable.
PM UNDER PRESSURE
The 9.0 magnitude quake and tsunami on March 11 has left nearly 28,000 people dead or missing and Japan's northeast coast a splintered wreck. The disaster has hit economic production and left a damages bill which may top $300 billion.After a three day intensive air and sea search by thousands of U.S. and Japanese forces another 77 bodies were recovered, Kyodo news agency said on Sunday.Prime Minister Kan is under intense pressure to steer Japan through its worst crisis since World War Two, but after three weeks many Japanese are angry that the humanitarian disaster seems to have taken a back seat to the nuclear crisis.Unpopular and under pressure to quit or call a snap poll before the disaster, Kan has been criticized for his crisis management.When Kan visited the devastated fishing port of Rikuzentakata on Saturday, survivors struggling to rebuild their lives complained that he had not visited them earlier. More than 163,710 people are living in shelters, with more than 70,000 people evacuated from a 20 km (12 mile) no-go zone area the nuclear plant, and another 136,000 people living a further 10 km out have been told to leave or stay indoors.Harrowing stories are still emerging of just what happened on the fateful afternoon of March 11.Civil servant Takako Suzuki, 40, narrowly escaped when water rose to within a few inches from the ceiling of an evacuation center she had rushed to. I was thinking if the water rises a little bit, I'm finished - but fortunately the water suddenly stopped rising and began receding,she said. Suzuki spent a night huddled with 11 other survivors in the deep water, bodies floating around them.

General Electric Co, which helped build the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will help TEPCO supply electricity in the coming summer months when power demand soars.Demand for power jumps in Japan in summer due to heavy usage of air-conditioners.The government has said it will restrict maximum power usage by companies during the hotter months in an effort to avoid further blackouts.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the Japanese economy would take a short-term hit and it could not rule out further intervention for the yen.Farmers in the countryside surrounding the reactor are fretting that consumers in Japan will reject their crops.Grown in Fukushima" has become a warning label for those nervous of radiation which has already been found in some vegetables close to the nuclear plant.There is no way we will be able to sell anything, said 73-year-old farmer Akio Abiko.People in Tokyo are just too sensitive about this kind of thing.A group of farmers came to Tokyo from Fukushima at the weekend, using Geiger counters to show their produce was safe.(Additional reporting by Shinichi Saoshiro and Yoko Kubota in Tokyo, David Dolan in Fukushima and Damir Sagolj in Rikuzentakata; Writing by Michael Perry and Andrew Cawthorne; Editing by Andrew Marshall)
Japan battles to stop radiation leak into sea
by Shingo Ito - APR 3,11
SENDAI, Japan (AFP) – Workers at Japan's crippled nuclear plant struggled on Sunday to stop a radioactive water leak into the Pacific, as the government warned the facility may spread contamination for months.Along the tsunami-ravaged coast, 25,000 Japanese and US military and rescue crew completed a massive three-day search for bodies, more than three weeks after the catastrophe struck.While cherry blossoms opened in Tokyo, temperatures plunged again, leaving tens of thousands of homeless shivering in evacuation camps along the ravaged northeast coast of Japan's main Honshu island.There was no quick end in sight for the world's worst nuclear emergency since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, warned a government lawmaker who has advised Prime Minister Naoto Kan on the crisis at the six-reactor plant.This is going to be a long battle, said Goshi Hosono, who highlighted the threat from 4.5 metre (15 foot) long spent fuel rods that remain volatile for months and need to be cooled in pools with circulating water.The biggest challenge at this plant is that there are more than 10,000 spent fuel rods, Hosono said on Fuji TV. It will take a very long time to reprocess them, and we sincerely apologise for that.It is unacceptable that radioactive substances keep being released, causing anxiety among the people. Probably it will take several months before we reach the point where all radiation leaks stop, he said.Outside the headquarters of plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), about 100 protesters, outnumbered by police, shouted: No more nuclear plants! and TEPCO, government -- be responsible! This accident has burdened the socially weak, the farmers and fishermen,said Mitsue Matsuda, 47, from tsunami-hit Iwate prefecture, who said she had friends living near the Fukushima plant.The land will stay contaminated for decades or more.The health ministry said its latest tests of regional vegetables, fruit and marine products had found radioactive caesium and iodine in some, but within the limits set under the food sanitation law.
Authorities have stressed there is no immediate public health threat from seafood because fishing within a 20-kilometre (12 mile) radius is banned, arguing that ocean currents will quickly dilute the contaminants.At the crippled plant, workers, troops and firefighters have pumped water into reactors whose cooling systems were knocked out by the March 11 tsunami, sparking partial meltdowns and chemical explosions.A second US military barge carrying fresh water for pumping on Saturday docked off the plant, where cement boom pumps have been pouring in water, a task that was initially handled by helicopter water drops and then fire engines.Radiation leaked into the air, soil and ocean, and the emergency water pumping itself has increased the environmental contamination.The run-off from the plant has measured more than 1,000 millisieverts and is believed to be the source of radioactive iodine-131 readings in ocean waters of more than 4,000 times the legal limit.TEPCO workers were using a polymer and even newspapers to try to close off pipes through which the water has flowed into a cracked concrete pit, from where it has run into the sea. An earlier attempt to seal the crack with cement failed to stop the leak.From the afternoon, the workers began pouring polymeric powder, sawdust, newspaper -- things we could think of to clog up the holes, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the nuclear safety agency.So far, there has not been any clear indication that the volume of leaking water has been reduced.In a grim discovery, the remains of two TEPCO workers killed in the tsunami have been recovered in the facility, the operator said.
The huge earthquake and resulting tsunami on March 11 killed 12,020 people and left 15,512 missing, according to the latest national police count. Some 18,000 Japanese military personnel and 7,000 US forces, as well as police, firefighters and coastguard rescue and dive teams, carried out a three-day search for victims along the disaster-ravaged coast.But the massive operation, which ended on Sunday, suggested that many of the missing will never be found. Japan's military said only 306 bodies were newly recovered in coastal and inland areas.

Gaddafi forces shell town as rebels name crisis team
By Maria Golovnina - APR 3,11
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi shelled the besieged western town of Misrata on Sunday where doctors say hundreds have been killed despite two weeks of Western airstrikes meant to put a stop to civilian deaths.The popular uprising has turned into a civil war pitting Gaddafi's troops, tanks and artillery against an enthusiastic, but chaotic rebel force backed by Western air power. Neither side has for now been able to gain the upper hand.The rebels are, however, attempting to put their house in order, naming a crisis team with the former interior minister as the armed forces chief of staff, to try to run parts of Libya it holds and reorganizing their military force.But that offers respite for Misrata which, like many cities, rose up against Gaddafi's rule in mid-February. It is now surrounded by government troops after a violent crackdown put an end to protests elsewhere in the west of the country.The shelling of Misrata on Sunday hit a building that had been used to treat wounded in Libya's third largest city and killed at least one person and wounded more, a resident said.A doctor who gave his name as Ramadan told Reuters by telephone from the city that 160 people, mostly civilians, had been killed in fighting in Misrata over the past seven days.Ramadan, a British-based doctor who said he arrived in Misrata three days ago on a humanitarian mission, had no figure for the total toll since fighting began six weeks ago.But every week between 100 or 140 people are reported killed -- multiply this by six and our estimates are 600 to 1,000 deaths since the fighting started, he said.
REBELS REORGANISING
After weeks of shelling and encirclement, Gaddafi's forces appear to be gradually loosening the rebels' hold on Misrata. Rebels say they still control the city center and the port, but government troops have pushed into the center.One Benghazi-based rebel said food supplies were acutely low in Misrata.There are severe food shortages and we call on humanitarian organizations to help, said the rebel called Sami, who said he was in regular contact with a Misrata resident.Accounts from Misrata cannot be independently verified because Libyan authorities are not allowing journalists to report freely from the city, 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli.As well as laying siege to Misrata, Gaddafi's troops have reversed a rebel advance in the east and are mopping up resistance in the mountainous southwest of Tripoli.Government forces shelled the small town of Yafran, southwest of the capital on Sunday, killing two people, Arabiya television reported, quoting a witness.But in the east. the rebels said they had restructured their forces to end the pendulum swing of their euphoric advance in the wake of Western air strikes followed by chaotic headlong retreat in the face of government artillery.We are reorganizing our ranks. We have formed our first brigade. It is entirely formed from ex-military defectors and people who've come back from retirement, Former Air Force Major Jalid al-Libie told Reuters in Benghazi.Asked about numbers, he said he could not reveal that, but added, it's quality that matters.The aim was for the trained force to steel resistance of the many volunteers so the rebel army could hold ground.
Before the end of the week you will see a different kind of fighting and that will tip the balance, said Libie, a former fighter pilot.The rebel leadership called for NATO-led air assault to continue despite 13 rebel fighters being killed in a strike as they tried to take control of the eastern oil town of Brega.A Reuters correspondent visiting the scene of Friday's air strike saw at least four burned-out vehicles, including an ambulance, by the road near the eastern entrance to Brega. Men prayed at freshly dug graves covered by the rebel red, black and green flag nearby.Most blamed a Tripoli agent for drawing the friendly fire.But some gave a different account. The rebels shot up in the air and the alliance came and bombed them. We are the ones who made the mistake, said a fighter who did not give his name.A rebel spokesman, Mustafa Gheriani, told Reuters the leadership still wanted and needed allied air strikes.You have to look at the big picture. Mistakes will happen. We are trying to get rid of Gaddafi and there will be casualties, although of course it does not make us happy.
CRISIS TEAM
Hundreds of mostly young, inexperienced volunteers were seen fleeing east from Brega toward the town of Ajdabiyah after coming under heavy mortar and machinegun fire. A contingent of more experienced and better organized rebel units initially held their ground in Brega, but with most journalists forced east, it was unclear whether they had remained inside the town or had pulled back into the desert.NATO has conducted 363 sorties since taking over command of the Libya operations on March 31, and about 150 were intended as strike missions, but NATO has not confirmed hitting any targets.In Benghazi, the rebel council named its crisis team on Saturday to administer parts of the country it controls.Omar Hariri is in charge of the military department, with General Abdel Fattah Younes al Abidi, a long serving officer in Gaddafi's armed forces, as his chief of staff.Younes, a former Libyan interior minister, changed sides at the start of the uprising in mid-February but is distrusted by many in the rebel camp because of his past ties to Gaddafi.

Peace Now Worried Jews May Build on Jewish-Owned Land
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Peace Now complains an Israeli landowner is seeking to sell lots for 30 homes in Jerusalem's Ras al-Amud neighborhood, the Associated Press reports. The neighborhood, in the eastern section of Jerusalem, is already home to 117 Jewish families.A century ago, the property where Ras al-Amud stands today was purchased from the Ottoman government by Nissan Bak and Moshe Wittenburg, who leased the land to build Jewish seminaries there in 1928. During the British Mandate, the authorities in Jerusalem refused to issue the necessary permits to build. Instead, the land was leased to Arab farmers for the purpose of raising wheat for the production of Passover matza.During the Jordanian occupation of eastern, southern and northern Jerusalem, the land Ras al-Amud sits on was held in trust for the Jewish owners by the Jordanian government. In 1964, an Arab tenant farmer claimed ownership of the land, but the Hashemite land registration authority rejected this claim because the title was still held by the Jewish Bak and the Wittenberg families.
In 1967, the land was transferred to the Israel Lands Administration which placed it under the jurisdiction of the Jerusalem Municipality. In 1984, the municipality sold it to American millionaire Irving Moskowitz.Modern legal records aside, Ras al-Amud has an ancient Jewish heritage. An archaeological excavation in Ras al-Amud prior to the construction of a school for Arab girls by the Jerusalem Municipality found remains dating to the late First Temple period (8th-7th centuries BCE), including a jar handle inscribed with the Hebrew name Menachem.Peace Now spokeswoman Hagit Ofran bemoaned the fact that, although the landowner has said he will sell to the highest bidder irrespective of ethnicity, the outcome will most likely be more Jews moving into the neighborhood.We know the owner...he is a settler himself, Ofran complained to the Associated Press. If the Palestinians can put up enough money they may be taking it, but settlers want it also, so I believe that it's more likely to go to the settlers.Ofran did not explain how Peace Now's position accounted for the established Jewish provenance of land ownership in the neighborhood - or ancient Jewish roots therein.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Abbas: Israel Must Release All Prisoners; Hamas: So Must Abbas
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday declared the issue of prisoners to be a top priority, saying there would be no peace agreement with Israel until the issue was resolved, the Maan News Agency reports.There will be no peace until all Palestinian prisoners are freed from Israeli jails,Abbas announced.Abbas' new precondition for talks with Israel comes as he seeks reconciliation with Fatah's archival Hamas. The Islamist movement Hamas and Abbas' Fatah organization have been at loggerheads since Hamas unexpectedly defeated Fatah in 2006 legislative elections.
The feud erupted into violence in the Gaza in June 2007, when in a week of bloodletting, Hamas routed Fatah loyalists and sent the Palestinian Authority packing as it seized full control of security installations there.New efforts to reconcile Fatah and Hamas began again on March 16, when Abbas accepted an invitation from Hamas Primer Minister Ismail Haniyeh to visit Gaza. But that trip was subsequently cancelled when Hamas said it would not guaranteee Abbas' safety during the visit - a statement Fatah leaders took to be a threat.According to Maan, several Hamas lawmakers and leaders in PA administered areas have since received invitations to meet with Abbas in Ramallah in order to start dialogue about negotiations for a unity government.Abbas has gone so far as to say he will forego U.S. dollars to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority for the sake of unity with Hamas.In an ironic twist, however, Abbas finds himself confronted with the same demand not from Israel, but from Hamas concerning imprisoned terrorists. Hamas says Abbas must release all of its fighters held in PA jails before discussing unity between the feuding factions, Maan reports.Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida issued the demand in response to Abbas' initiative reconcile with Hamas. Abu Obeida insisted national unity could only succeed if Abbas released political prisoners in PA jails and stopped coordinating with Israel in accordance with the Oslo Accords.For its part, Israel has made it clear it will not deal with the Western-backed Palestinian Authority if it brings Hamas into the government, a senior Israeli official said Saturday night, a few hours after PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met in Ramallah with a senior Hamas delegation for conciliation talks.Abbas has to choose whether he wants peace with Israel or peace with Hamas,the official said.He can't have both. If he chooses peace with Hamas it will bury the peace process [with Israel].(Israel NationalNews.com)
Egypt's army rulers to meet Palestinian president
– Sat Apr 2, 12:01 pm ET
CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt's military rulers will meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday to seek ways to ease tension between his Fatah movement and its rival Hamas, Egypt's state news agency said on Saturday.Reconciling the rival movements running Palestinian affairs is seen as vital to any prospect of Palestinian statehood based on peace with Israel.Abbas will hold important talks with Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Egyptian state news agency MENA said.Fatah took part in U.S.-sponsored direct talks with Israel last year, drawing condemnation from Hamas which seized Gaza from Fatah in 2007 and is hostile to the Jewish state.Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza after Hamas took control there.Egypt sponsored six months of talks between Hamas and Fatah in 2009 that led to a draft pact to form a national unity government.Fatah signed the pact but Hamas refrained, demanding guarantees for international recognition.Abbas, whose movement still runs affairs in self-ruled areas of the West Bank, said last week he was ready to visit Gaza to end divisions and kick-start a comprehensive dialogue.Delegations from Fatah and Hamas visited Cairo last week, meeting with officials from Egypt's intelligence agency, the foreign ministry and the Arab League.The army now runs Egypt after an uprising ousted President Hosni Mubarak on February 11.(Writing by Marwa Awad)
Israel demands retraction of UN Gaza report
by Charly Wegman - APR 3,11
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel demanded on Sunday that the United Nations bin a report critical of its deadly 2008-2009 offensive on Gaza after the author said he had been wrong to say it had targeted civilians.South African judge Richard Goldstone had faced down enormous criticism in Israel at the time over the report which accused both Israel and the Hamas rulers of Gaza of potential war crimes during the 22-day conflict.But in a surprise about-turn on Saturday, he said that information he had received since indicated that Israel had not deliberately targeted civilians during the campaign, a key charge of the report.He said his assessment had also been changed by the fact that whereas Israel had thoroughly investigated the concerns raised by his panel, Hamas had not.If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document, he wrote in a commentary piece in the Washington Post.The report's findings had set the tone for widespread international condemnation of the Israeli assault on Hamas-ruled Gaza in which more than 1,400 people lost their lives, the vast majority of them Palestinians.Israeli officials said the United Nations now needed to set the record straight.This is an extremely important development and right now we are multiplying our efforts to get this report rescinded, Defence Minister Ehud Barak told army radio on Sunday.I am going to give the issue my personal commitment, Barak said, adding that he deeply regretted the harm already done.
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would set up a team of legal experts and diplomats to find concrete ways to turn the clock back and try to lessen the enormous damage of this train of vilification against the state of Israel.Goldstone himself has just confirmed what we all knew all along... I think our soldiers and army behaved according to the highest international standards, the premier said during a brief televised address on Saturday.In his opinion piece in the Post, Goldstone said he now concurred with Netanyahu that the council had a history of bias against Israel.A UN committee of independent experts that followed up on the Goldstone Report's recommendations found that Israel has dedicated significant resources to investigate over 400 allegations of operational misconduct in Gaza.In contrast, Hamas leaders have not conducted any investigations into the rocket and mortar attacks against Israel that were its grounds for going to war.In Gaza, Hamas said it was surprised by Goldstone's comments and said he did not now have the right to come and change the findings.It is not Goldstone's private property, as a team of international judges as well as Goldstone participated in developing it -- apart from the fact that it relies on a number of documents and eyewitness testimony which increases the report's strength and credibility.The statement from spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri did not respond to Goldstone's assertion that Hamas had not investigated charges levelled against it in the report of deliberately targeting civilians with rocket fire.Goldstone said allegations of intentionality by Israel were based on the death and wounding of civilians in situations where his fact-finding mission could not reach any other reasonable conclusion.
He said that while some incidents were validated in cases involving individual soldiers, Israeli investigations found that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy. Goldstone recalled one of the most serious incidents his team investigated -- without Israel's cooperation due to its allegations that the investigators were biased -- when Israeli shelling of a Gaza home killed 29 members of the Al-Samouni family.He noted that Israel's investigation into the attack found it was apparently due to a commander's misinterpretation of a drone image and that an officer was under investigation for having ordered the shelling. I regret that our fact-finding mission did not have such evidence explaining the circumstances in which we said civilians in Gaza were targeted, because it probably would have influenced our findings about intentionality and war crimes,Goldstone wrote.
Brazil A Resort For Terror Movers and Shakers
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
At least 20 terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda, Hizbullah and Hamas have been hiding out in Brazil planning attacks, raising money, and recruiting operatives, according to Veja Magazine.The report on Saturday ressurects fears the oil-rich South American nation is serving as a terror resort for Islamic militants.Veja, citing Brazilian police and US government reports, said these operatives have been raising money and working to incite attacks abroad. No details of these operations were included in the article.The United States has said Islamic militants have been operating in the border region between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.For sure, members, facilitators, and sympathizers of Islamic terrorist organizations are present in our hemisphere, Adm. Jim Stavridis, head of the U.S. Southern Command, wrote in the Americas Quarterly journal.We consider Latin America and the Caribbean as being highly likely bases for future terrorist threats to the U.S. and others.The Lebanon-based Hizbullah was the most prominent group in Latin America, Stavridis wrote. Most of its activity appeared to be fund-raising but there are indications of an operational presence and the potential for attacks.Stavridis said security threats posed by local terror operatives were partly the result of poverty, inequality and corruption — problems he inists must be addressed for a lasting solution to defeat terror.
He noted that analysts and polls said anti-U.S. sentiment was growing and that the Bush administration had ignored Latin America. This has allowed leaders such as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to whip up opposition to the United States.Anti-U.S. leaders are creating tensions and suspicions that exacerbate what is already a difficult mission, he said.Brazilian authorities have long insisted it has no indication of terrorist cells in the tri-border region, although they have admitted being aware of financial contributions to groups such as Hizbullah, which Brazil does not classify as a terrorist organization.Relations between Brazil and the United States since President Dilma Rousseff took office in January have warmed, however. Rousseff has sought closer US ties after her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, angered the United States with attempts to mediate over Iran's nuclear program.Veja reported that Khaled Hussein Ali of Lebanese origin, who has lived in Brazil since 1998, is an important member of al Qaeda's propaganda machine and coordinates with extremists in 17 countries.Ali was briefly detained by authorities in Brazil in March 2009 after a police investigation discovered videos and texts intended for Al Qaeda followers. One email found on his computer and which was sent as spam to email addresses in the United States incited hatred against Jews and blacks, Veja said.He spent 21 days in prison on charges of racism, inciting crime and gang formation, but he was set free because prosecutors did not pursue the charges in court, according to the magazine.Some observers speculate the arrest may herald a shift in position by Brazilian authorities vis-a-vis their classification of terror groups.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Quran protests spread to turbulent Afghan east
By RAHMAT GUL and RAHIM FAIEZ, Associated Press - APR 3,11
JALALABAD, Afghanistan – Demonstrators battled police in southern Afghanistan's main city on Sunday and took to the streets in the turbulent east for the first time as Western pleas failed to halt the third day of rage over a Florida pastor's burning of the Quran.Officers and protesters skirmished for the second straight day in the city of Kandahar, leaving two officers and 18 civilians hurt, provincial health director Qayum Pokhla told The Associated Press.In Jalalabad, the largest city in the east, hundreds of people blocked the main highway for three hours, shouting for U.S. troops to leave, burning an effigy of President Barack Obama and stomping on a drawing of a U.S. flag. More than 1,000 people set tires ablaze to block the highway in eastern Parwan province for about an hour, provincial police chief Sher Ahmad Maladani said.Resentment has been building for years here over the operations of Western military forces, blamed for killing and mistreating civilians, and international contractors, seen by many as enriching themselves and fueling corruption at the expense of ordinary Afghans.
Coverage of the ongoing trial of a group of U.S. soldiers' charged with killings of Afghan civilians and the publication of photos of some posing with dead bodies fueled that anger, which violently erupted Friday in a protest over the little-publicized destruction of the Quran last month.Thousands of demonstrators in the previously peaceful northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif poured into the streets after Friday prayers and overran a U.N. compound, killing three U.N. staff members and four Nepalese guards.On Saturday, hundreds of Afghans holding copies of the Quran over their heads marched in Kandahar before starting to attack cars and businesses. Security forces opened fire and nine protesters were killed but the governor of Kandahar said officers had only fired into the air. He said 81 were wounded and 17 people, including seven armed men, had been arrested.Military commander Gen. David Petraeus and the top NATO civilian representative in Afghanistan, Mark Sedwill, said that they hope the Afghan people understand that the actions of a small number of individuals, who have been extremely disrespectful to the Holy Quran, are not representative of any of the countries of the international community who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people.The Taliban said in a statement emailed to media outlets that the U.S. and other Western countries had wrongly excused the burning of the Quran on March 20 as freedom of speech and that Afghans cannot accept this un-Islamic act.Afghan forces under the order of the foreign forces attacked unarmed people during the protests, killing them and arresting some, saying there were armed people among these protesters, which was not true,the Taliban said.The governor of Kandahar said he and the main leaders of the protests in the southern city had reached an agreement that would end the demonstrations. He did not provide details.Associated Press writer Mirwais Khan contributed to this report from Chaman, Pakistan.
Spain socialists need quick fix on leader: analyst
- APR 3,11
MADRID (Reuters) – Spain's ruling Socialist Party needs to resolve its leadership succession soon to dispel any market doubts over the government's commitment to reforms to meet European Union deficit targets, analysts say.In the transition period, it will be vital that Spain continues to differentiate itself from other periphery economies, particularly neighboring Portugal, to avoid renewed speculative attacks on its sovereign debt.Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, his popularity hammered by the euro zone's highest jobless rate, said on Saturday he would not seek a third term in 2012 elections his party is expected to lose.There needs to be no doubts over how the economy will be managed in the coming months, said Emilio Ontiveros, chairman of International Financial Analysts.Zapatero's move triggers primaries for a new party leader after May 22 local polls, with popular Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba shown as still the preferred candidate, according to the latest Metroscopia poll published by El Pais newspaper on Sunday.The euro zone's fourth largest economy came under attack in bond markets after a real estate bubble burst in 2008, causing a deep recession and 20 percent unemployment. Spain's recovery has lagged behind the rest of Europe.But Zapatero said he would serve out the remainder of his term and focus on carrying out his programme of economic reforms, a decision which some analysts say could minimize the impact of the succession issue.I don't think Zapatero not standing a third term will prejudice Spain's position with Brussels. He has said he will carry on with economic reforms,said Carlos Berzosa, economics expert and rector at Madrid Complutense University.(Reporting by Judy MacInnes; editing by David Cowell)
Spain's prime minister won't seek 3rd term
By HAROLD HECKLE, Associated Press – Sat Apr 2, 7:18 am ET
MADRID – Spain's embattled prime minister announced Saturday he will not seek re-election at general elections in 2012 as his country grapples with debt, high unemployment and a faltering economy badly hit by the international financial crisis.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero told a party meeting he would limit his time in office to two terms, opening a process of primaries to elect his successor at the helm of the Socialist Party.I will not be a candidate in the forthcoming general elections, he said, adding it was the right decision for the country, his party and his family.
Zapatero, 50, was elected to office in 2004 in the wake of terror attacks on Madrid's trains that left 191 dead and 1,800 injured, and a wave of public disapproval at the previous government's involvement in the Iraq war.At the time, Spain's economy was one of the most dynamic in Europe having recorded continuous growth for around a decade.But the credit crunch and subsequent financial crisis has dogged Zapatero's second term and immersed Spain in debt and a eurozone-high unemployment rate of 20 percent.The Socialist Party faces regional and municipal elections on May 22 and then must build toward nationwide general elections with a new leader.The most likely candidates are current Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba and Defense Minister Carme Chacon, who would become Spain's first female premier if elected.A tired-looking Zapatero said he had been convinced that two terms as leader of the government was enough seven years ago when he first took office, and he remained convinced of that decision today.The Socialists must choose their new candidate in March 2012 for national elections at an as-yet unspecified date later that year.
Rubalcaba, 59, is seen by many as a very experienced politician who has acted as Zapatero's hard man against the violent Basque separatists of ETA.At 40, Chacon cuts a youthful dash but has gained considerable respect in charge of the nation's defense, overseeing Spain's troops in Afghanistan and as part of the international effort to enforce a no fly zone over and a naval blockade off Libya.The conservative opposition Popular Party used its Twitter web feed network to call on the government to hold early general elections.
IMF denies pressing Greece to restructure debt
– Sat Apr 2, 6:59 pm ET
WASHINGTON/BERLIN (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund on Saturday denied a report in German magazine Der Spiegel that it was privately pressing Greece to restructure its debt.As we have said consistently, the IMF supports the Greek government's position of no debt restructuring and its determination to fully service its debt obligations. Any reports claiming otherwise are wrong, an IMF spokeswoman told Reuters.Without citing any sources, Der Spiegel reported that the IMF had reversed its previous opposition to the idea of a Greek restructuring and now believed one was necessary soon.It wrote that senior IMF officials were recommending this to European governments because Greece's debt mountain was now roughly one-and-a-half times its annual economic output.Early in March, IMF European Director Antonio Borges told reporters he was confident that Greek debt is sustainable, adding that the Greeks had made quite a bit of progress on their banks as well.But since the IMF now believes current measures no longer suffice, it would like to see interest rates on Greek sovereign debt lowered, maturities extended or the amount of principal which Greece has to repay cut, Der Spiegel said.
European governments and the IMF are jointly contributing to and administering Greece's 110 billion euro ($155 billion) bailout, so a split between them on policy could be damaging to Greece's prospects for recovery.Greek and European officials have long insisted that Greece can recover without restructuring its debt, and that even discussing a restructuring now would be counter-productive by damaging banks across Europe and causing panic in markets.Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, speaking to Reuters at a conference in Italy on Saturday, responded to the Der Spiegel report by saying: There is absolutely no chance of a restructuring of Greek debt.He added,People (who talk about a restructuring) fail to understand that the costs would much outweigh the benefits.European Commission spokesman Jens Mester said: All support measures are in place, and there is no reason now to start thinking of this possibility of restructuring Greece's debt.Der Spiegel reported that the IMF was still not willing to call openly for a Greek restructuring out of fear this could increase market pressure on Portugal. Portuguese bond yields have soared in the last several weeks because investors think Lisbon may soon be forced to seek a bailout.Many investors and analysts think an eventual Greek restructuring may be inevitable. Cutting its credit rating of Cyprus on Wednesday, Standard and Poor's cited an increasing likelihood that the Greek government will restructure its debt.Former European Central Bank chief economist Otmar Issing told Der Spiegel last month that Greece's sovereign debt would have to be restructured as soon as other euro zone countries were out of danger.Before any restructuring, however, Greece may try another strategy. Papaconstantinou said on Wednesday that Athens might use some proceeds from state asset sales to buy back outstanding bonds from the market; since market prices of its debt have dropped sharply below face value, this could have the effect of a restructuring in lightening Greece's debt load without requiring Athens to conduct difficult talks with creditors.(Reporting by Lesley Wroughton, Christiaan Hetzner, Renee Maltezou, Valentina Za and Charlie Dunmore; Writing by Andrew Torchia; Editing by Ron Askew)
Irish and Greek debts sustainable: EU rescue fund chief
– Sat Apr 2, 7:52 am ET
DUBLIN (Reuters) – European authorities and the International Monetary Fund believe Ireland and Greece can sustain their debts while it is up to Portugal whether it joins them in seeking help, the head of Europe's rescue fund said. Fears Ireland will not be able to shoulder the burden of one of the world's most costliest bank bailouts have overshadowed the government's pledge to recapitalize its financial system by 24 billion euros and draw a line under its woes.Klaus Regling, head of the European Financial Stability Facility, said last week that there were risks to the assumption that Greece would pay back its debts, but he did not identify any similar risks to Ireland in an interview with the Irish Times on Saturday.The assessment of the three institutions that have the task to make this kind of assessment -- the IMF, the European Commission and the ECB -- is that these countries will reach a sustainable debt situation at the end of their programmes, Regling told the newspaper.
Portugal is struggling internally whether they should ask for assistance or not, we shall see, it's their decision. It's these three countries that will have serious problems for a while, but not the euro area as a whole.Spain overall is in much better shape. There's no programme, no need for financial emergency assistance in Spain.Regling, who was speculated last month as being Germany's candidate for the presidency of the European Central Bank, repeated that he was happy in his current job and not a candidate.I am not a candidate and I'm happy to be here to manage the EFSF and to prepare the ESM,Regling said.(Reporting by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Ron Askew)
Report critical of pay practices at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
– Fri Apr 1, 1:21 am ET
(Reuters) – The heads of bailed-out mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) were paid fat salaries without proper written procedures or analysis, according to a report published by the Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA-OIG).Also, the housing regulator Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has not considered the factors that might have possibly resulted in reduced executive compensation costs, the review report said.The heads of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were paid a total of $17.1 million in 2009 and 2010 -- the two full years of government ownership.The top six executives at the housing giants were paid $35.4 million over the two years, according to the report that was posted on the agency's website.The Inspector General said FHFA has not developed written procedures to evaluate the recommended executive compensation levels each year.FHFA also does not provide sufficient transparency to the public of the Enterprises' executive compensation program, the Office of Inspector General said in the evaluation report.The report recommended that FHFA should establish ongoing review and analysis process to determine the compensation levels for the top executives of mortgage finance giants.The mortgage firms have taken more than $130 billion in direct taxpayer aid since 2008 and the U.S. government indicated in February that total cost could peak at $169 billion by late next year before beginning to shrink as they slowly repay taxpayers.Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside regular U.S. business hours.(Reporting by Sakthi Prasad in Bangalore; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

Fukushima Plant Leaking Radiation Into Sea
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Saturday that water near an outlet of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is contaminated with radiation exceeding 1,000 millisierverts per hour, Reuters reported.TEPCO said the shaft, which stores supply cables, had a crack 20 centimeters long in the concrete that was allowing radiation to be leaked into the sea.Workers have begun pouring concrete into the shaft to seal the crack shortly after it was detected, TEPCO added.The spread of radioactive iodine in the sea presents no immediate danger to human health. However, the detection shows that contamination by radioactive substances has spread widely in the ocean off the Japan coast.Officials say contamination by radioactive iodine, which had been confirmed around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, has spread to southern sea areas due to north-south ocean currents.The officials also said the government is preparing to inject nitrogen into reactor buildings to prevent explosions caused by hydrogen leaking from the reactors.TEPCO resumed spraying of liquid synthetic resins in the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant compound on Saturday to prevent radioactive dust and particles from becoming airborne.The synthetic resins were initially developed to prevent sand and other materials from becoming airborne at construction sites. According to Kurita Water Industries Ltd., which manufactures the resins, they become solid in half a day when the weather is good and are effective for six to 12 months.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Energy said Friday that up to 70 percent of the large nuclear fuel stockpile at the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant and up to one-third of the No. 2 reactor of the plant is damaged.In Ishiro Honda's 1954 atomic horror classic Godzilla, the eponymous daikaiju (Japanese movie monster) came from the sea to attack Japan after radiation from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings contaminated the sea. While the original Godzilla was a metaphor for the bombings themselves he would, over his 28-film career, also be depicted as a protector of the world from environmental destruction. No one then imagined a made-in-Japan nuclear disaster that would overshadow the WWII bombings and whose environmental damage the world has yet to measure.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Japan says it may take months to end radiation leaks
By Chizu Nomiyama and Yoko Nishikawa - APR 3,11
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan's government warned on Sunday it may take months to stop radiation leaking from a nuclear plant crippled by a huge earthquake and tsunami three weeks ago, as more bodies were recovered in devastated areas of northeast Japan.An aide to embattled Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government's priority was to stop radiation leaks which were scaring the public and hindering work on cooling overheated nuclear fuel rods.We have not escaped from a crisis situation, but it is somewhat stabilized, said Goshi Hosono, a ruling party lawmaker and aide to Kan.How long will it take to achieve (the goal of stopping the radiation leakage)? I think several months would be one target, Hosono said on a nationwide Fuji TV programme on Sunday.Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) found a crack in a concrete pit at its No.2 reactor in the Fukushima Daiichi complex at the weekend, generating readings of 1,000 millisieverts of radiation per hour in the air inside.The leaks did not stop after concrete was poured into the pit, and TEPCO turned to water-absorbent polymers to prevent any more contaminated water from going out.The latest effort to staunch the flow of radioactive water into the Pacific started on Sunday afternoon. Workers then topped the polymers with more concrete.We were hoping the polymers would function like diapers but are yet to see a visible effect, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director general of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.Officials believe the crack could be one source of the radiation leaks that have hobbled efforts to control the six-reactor complex and sent radiation levels in the sea soaring to 4,000 times the legal limit.The battle to cool overheated reactors and avoid dangerous meltdowns of the highly radioactive fuel rods has seen workers hose saltwater into reactors, but this has left the facility awash with contaminated saltwater, preventing workers getting closer to the reactors.Nishiyama said fresh water was now being pumped into No. 1, 2 and 3 reactors using external power, which was more stable than the emergency diesel generators previously being used.He said the three reactors were now generally stable.
PM UNDER PRESSURE
The 9.0 magnitude quake and tsunami on March 11 has left nearly 28,000 people dead or missing and Japan's northeast coast a splintered wreck. The disaster has hit economic production and left a damages bill which may top $300 billion.After a three day intensive air and sea search by thousands of U.S. and Japanese forces another 77 bodies were recovered, Kyodo news agency said on Sunday.Prime Minister Kan is under intense pressure to steer Japan through its worst crisis since World War Two, but after three weeks many Japanese are angry that the humanitarian disaster seems to have taken a back seat to the nuclear crisis.Unpopular and under pressure to quit or call a snap poll before the disaster, Kan has been criticized for his crisis management.When Kan visited the devastated fishing port of Rikuzentakata on Saturday, survivors struggling to rebuild their lives complained that he had not visited them earlier. More than 163,710 people are living in shelters, with more than 70,000 people evacuated from a 20 km (12 mile) no-go zone area the nuclear plant, and another 136,000 people living a further 10 km out have been told to leave or stay indoors.Harrowing stories are still emerging of just what happened on the fateful afternoon of March 11.Civil servant Takako Suzuki, 40, narrowly escaped when water rose to within a few inches from the ceiling of an evacuation center she had rushed to. I was thinking if the water rises a little bit, I'm finished - but fortunately the water suddenly stopped rising and began receding,she said. Suzuki spent a night huddled with 11 other survivors in the deep water, bodies floating around them.
MOVES TO STOP POWER BLACKOUTS
The world's third largest economy has seen manufacturing slump to a two-year low as a result of power outages and quake damage hitting supply chains and production.
General Electric Co, which helped build the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will help TEPCO supply electricity in the coming summer months when power demand soars.Demand for power jumps in Japan in summer due to heavy usage of air-conditioners.The government has said it will restrict maximum power usage by companies during the hotter months in an effort to avoid further blackouts.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the Japanese economy would take a short-term hit and it could not rule out further intervention for the yen.Farmers in the countryside surrounding the reactor are fretting that consumers in Japan will reject their crops.Grown in Fukushima" has become a warning label for those nervous of radiation which has already been found in some vegetables close to the nuclear plant.There is no way we will be able to sell anything, said 73-year-old farmer Akio Abiko.People in Tokyo are just too sensitive about this kind of thing.A group of farmers came to Tokyo from Fukushima at the weekend, using Geiger counters to show their produce was safe.(Additional reporting by Shinichi Saoshiro and Yoko Kubota in Tokyo, David Dolan in Fukushima and Damir Sagolj in Rikuzentakata; Writing by Michael Perry and Andrew Cawthorne; Editing by Andrew Marshall)
Japan battles to stop radiation leak into sea
by Shingo Ito - APR 3,11
SENDAI, Japan (AFP) – Workers at Japan's crippled nuclear plant struggled on Sunday to stop a radioactive water leak into the Pacific, as the government warned the facility may spread contamination for months.Along the tsunami-ravaged coast, 25,000 Japanese and US military and rescue crew completed a massive three-day search for bodies, more than three weeks after the catastrophe struck.While cherry blossoms opened in Tokyo, temperatures plunged again, leaving tens of thousands of homeless shivering in evacuation camps along the ravaged northeast coast of Japan's main Honshu island.There was no quick end in sight for the world's worst nuclear emergency since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, warned a government lawmaker who has advised Prime Minister Naoto Kan on the crisis at the six-reactor plant.This is going to be a long battle, said Goshi Hosono, who highlighted the threat from 4.5 metre (15 foot) long spent fuel rods that remain volatile for months and need to be cooled in pools with circulating water.The biggest challenge at this plant is that there are more than 10,000 spent fuel rods, Hosono said on Fuji TV. It will take a very long time to reprocess them, and we sincerely apologise for that.It is unacceptable that radioactive substances keep being released, causing anxiety among the people. Probably it will take several months before we reach the point where all radiation leaks stop, he said.Outside the headquarters of plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), about 100 protesters, outnumbered by police, shouted: No more nuclear plants! and TEPCO, government -- be responsible! This accident has burdened the socially weak, the farmers and fishermen,said Mitsue Matsuda, 47, from tsunami-hit Iwate prefecture, who said she had friends living near the Fukushima plant.The land will stay contaminated for decades or more.The health ministry said its latest tests of regional vegetables, fruit and marine products had found radioactive caesium and iodine in some, but within the limits set under the food sanitation law.
Authorities have stressed there is no immediate public health threat from seafood because fishing within a 20-kilometre (12 mile) radius is banned, arguing that ocean currents will quickly dilute the contaminants.At the crippled plant, workers, troops and firefighters have pumped water into reactors whose cooling systems were knocked out by the March 11 tsunami, sparking partial meltdowns and chemical explosions.A second US military barge carrying fresh water for pumping on Saturday docked off the plant, where cement boom pumps have been pouring in water, a task that was initially handled by helicopter water drops and then fire engines.Radiation leaked into the air, soil and ocean, and the emergency water pumping itself has increased the environmental contamination.The run-off from the plant has measured more than 1,000 millisieverts and is believed to be the source of radioactive iodine-131 readings in ocean waters of more than 4,000 times the legal limit.TEPCO workers were using a polymer and even newspapers to try to close off pipes through which the water has flowed into a cracked concrete pit, from where it has run into the sea. An earlier attempt to seal the crack with cement failed to stop the leak.From the afternoon, the workers began pouring polymeric powder, sawdust, newspaper -- things we could think of to clog up the holes, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the nuclear safety agency.So far, there has not been any clear indication that the volume of leaking water has been reduced.In a grim discovery, the remains of two TEPCO workers killed in the tsunami have been recovered in the facility, the operator said.
The huge earthquake and resulting tsunami on March 11 killed 12,020 people and left 15,512 missing, according to the latest national police count. Some 18,000 Japanese military personnel and 7,000 US forces, as well as police, firefighters and coastguard rescue and dive teams, carried out a three-day search for victims along the disaster-ravaged coast.But the massive operation, which ended on Sunday, suggested that many of the missing will never be found. Japan's military said only 306 bodies were newly recovered in coastal and inland areas.

Gaddafi forces shell town as rebels name crisis team
By Maria Golovnina - APR 3,11
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi shelled the besieged western town of Misrata on Sunday where doctors say hundreds have been killed despite two weeks of Western airstrikes meant to put a stop to civilian deaths.The popular uprising has turned into a civil war pitting Gaddafi's troops, tanks and artillery against an enthusiastic, but chaotic rebel force backed by Western air power. Neither side has for now been able to gain the upper hand.The rebels are, however, attempting to put their house in order, naming a crisis team with the former interior minister as the armed forces chief of staff, to try to run parts of Libya it holds and reorganizing their military force.But that offers respite for Misrata which, like many cities, rose up against Gaddafi's rule in mid-February. It is now surrounded by government troops after a violent crackdown put an end to protests elsewhere in the west of the country.The shelling of Misrata on Sunday hit a building that had been used to treat wounded in Libya's third largest city and killed at least one person and wounded more, a resident said.A doctor who gave his name as Ramadan told Reuters by telephone from the city that 160 people, mostly civilians, had been killed in fighting in Misrata over the past seven days.Ramadan, a British-based doctor who said he arrived in Misrata three days ago on a humanitarian mission, had no figure for the total toll since fighting began six weeks ago.But every week between 100 or 140 people are reported killed -- multiply this by six and our estimates are 600 to 1,000 deaths since the fighting started, he said.
REBELS REORGANISING
After weeks of shelling and encirclement, Gaddafi's forces appear to be gradually loosening the rebels' hold on Misrata. Rebels say they still control the city center and the port, but government troops have pushed into the center.One Benghazi-based rebel said food supplies were acutely low in Misrata.There are severe food shortages and we call on humanitarian organizations to help, said the rebel called Sami, who said he was in regular contact with a Misrata resident.Accounts from Misrata cannot be independently verified because Libyan authorities are not allowing journalists to report freely from the city, 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli.As well as laying siege to Misrata, Gaddafi's troops have reversed a rebel advance in the east and are mopping up resistance in the mountainous southwest of Tripoli.Government forces shelled the small town of Yafran, southwest of the capital on Sunday, killing two people, Arabiya television reported, quoting a witness.But in the east. the rebels said they had restructured their forces to end the pendulum swing of their euphoric advance in the wake of Western air strikes followed by chaotic headlong retreat in the face of government artillery.We are reorganizing our ranks. We have formed our first brigade. It is entirely formed from ex-military defectors and people who've come back from retirement, Former Air Force Major Jalid al-Libie told Reuters in Benghazi.Asked about numbers, he said he could not reveal that, but added, it's quality that matters.The aim was for the trained force to steel resistance of the many volunteers so the rebel army could hold ground.
Before the end of the week you will see a different kind of fighting and that will tip the balance, said Libie, a former fighter pilot.The rebel leadership called for NATO-led air assault to continue despite 13 rebel fighters being killed in a strike as they tried to take control of the eastern oil town of Brega.A Reuters correspondent visiting the scene of Friday's air strike saw at least four burned-out vehicles, including an ambulance, by the road near the eastern entrance to Brega. Men prayed at freshly dug graves covered by the rebel red, black and green flag nearby.Most blamed a Tripoli agent for drawing the friendly fire.But some gave a different account. The rebels shot up in the air and the alliance came and bombed them. We are the ones who made the mistake, said a fighter who did not give his name.A rebel spokesman, Mustafa Gheriani, told Reuters the leadership still wanted and needed allied air strikes.You have to look at the big picture. Mistakes will happen. We are trying to get rid of Gaddafi and there will be casualties, although of course it does not make us happy.
CRISIS TEAM
Hundreds of mostly young, inexperienced volunteers were seen fleeing east from Brega toward the town of Ajdabiyah after coming under heavy mortar and machinegun fire. A contingent of more experienced and better organized rebel units initially held their ground in Brega, but with most journalists forced east, it was unclear whether they had remained inside the town or had pulled back into the desert.NATO has conducted 363 sorties since taking over command of the Libya operations on March 31, and about 150 were intended as strike missions, but NATO has not confirmed hitting any targets.In Benghazi, the rebel council named its crisis team on Saturday to administer parts of the country it controls.Omar Hariri is in charge of the military department, with General Abdel Fattah Younes al Abidi, a long serving officer in Gaddafi's armed forces, as his chief of staff.Younes, a former Libyan interior minister, changed sides at the start of the uprising in mid-February but is distrusted by many in the rebel camp because of his past ties to Gaddafi.

Peace Now Worried Jews May Build on Jewish-Owned Land
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Peace Now complains an Israeli landowner is seeking to sell lots for 30 homes in Jerusalem's Ras al-Amud neighborhood, the Associated Press reports. The neighborhood, in the eastern section of Jerusalem, is already home to 117 Jewish families.A century ago, the property where Ras al-Amud stands today was purchased from the Ottoman government by Nissan Bak and Moshe Wittenburg, who leased the land to build Jewish seminaries there in 1928. During the British Mandate, the authorities in Jerusalem refused to issue the necessary permits to build. Instead, the land was leased to Arab farmers for the purpose of raising wheat for the production of Passover matza.During the Jordanian occupation of eastern, southern and northern Jerusalem, the land Ras al-Amud sits on was held in trust for the Jewish owners by the Jordanian government. In 1964, an Arab tenant farmer claimed ownership of the land, but the Hashemite land registration authority rejected this claim because the title was still held by the Jewish Bak and the Wittenberg families.
In 1967, the land was transferred to the Israel Lands Administration which placed it under the jurisdiction of the Jerusalem Municipality. In 1984, the municipality sold it to American millionaire Irving Moskowitz.Modern legal records aside, Ras al-Amud has an ancient Jewish heritage. An archaeological excavation in Ras al-Amud prior to the construction of a school for Arab girls by the Jerusalem Municipality found remains dating to the late First Temple period (8th-7th centuries BCE), including a jar handle inscribed with the Hebrew name Menachem.Peace Now spokeswoman Hagit Ofran bemoaned the fact that, although the landowner has said he will sell to the highest bidder irrespective of ethnicity, the outcome will most likely be more Jews moving into the neighborhood.We know the owner...he is a settler himself, Ofran complained to the Associated Press. If the Palestinians can put up enough money they may be taking it, but settlers want it also, so I believe that it's more likely to go to the settlers.Ofran did not explain how Peace Now's position accounted for the established Jewish provenance of land ownership in the neighborhood - or ancient Jewish roots therein.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Abbas: Israel Must Release All Prisoners; Hamas: So Must Abbas
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday declared the issue of prisoners to be a top priority, saying there would be no peace agreement with Israel until the issue was resolved, the Maan News Agency reports.There will be no peace until all Palestinian prisoners are freed from Israeli jails,Abbas announced.Abbas' new precondition for talks with Israel comes as he seeks reconciliation with Fatah's archival Hamas. The Islamist movement Hamas and Abbas' Fatah organization have been at loggerheads since Hamas unexpectedly defeated Fatah in 2006 legislative elections.
The feud erupted into violence in the Gaza in June 2007, when in a week of bloodletting, Hamas routed Fatah loyalists and sent the Palestinian Authority packing as it seized full control of security installations there.New efforts to reconcile Fatah and Hamas began again on March 16, when Abbas accepted an invitation from Hamas Primer Minister Ismail Haniyeh to visit Gaza. But that trip was subsequently cancelled when Hamas said it would not guaranteee Abbas' safety during the visit - a statement Fatah leaders took to be a threat.According to Maan, several Hamas lawmakers and leaders in PA administered areas have since received invitations to meet with Abbas in Ramallah in order to start dialogue about negotiations for a unity government.Abbas has gone so far as to say he will forego U.S. dollars to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority for the sake of unity with Hamas.In an ironic twist, however, Abbas finds himself confronted with the same demand not from Israel, but from Hamas concerning imprisoned terrorists. Hamas says Abbas must release all of its fighters held in PA jails before discussing unity between the feuding factions, Maan reports.Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida issued the demand in response to Abbas' initiative reconcile with Hamas. Abu Obeida insisted national unity could only succeed if Abbas released political prisoners in PA jails and stopped coordinating with Israel in accordance with the Oslo Accords.For its part, Israel has made it clear it will not deal with the Western-backed Palestinian Authority if it brings Hamas into the government, a senior Israeli official said Saturday night, a few hours after PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met in Ramallah with a senior Hamas delegation for conciliation talks.Abbas has to choose whether he wants peace with Israel or peace with Hamas,the official said.He can't have both. If he chooses peace with Hamas it will bury the peace process [with Israel].(Israel NationalNews.com)
Egypt's army rulers to meet Palestinian president
– Sat Apr 2, 12:01 pm ET
CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt's military rulers will meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday to seek ways to ease tension between his Fatah movement and its rival Hamas, Egypt's state news agency said on Saturday.Reconciling the rival movements running Palestinian affairs is seen as vital to any prospect of Palestinian statehood based on peace with Israel.Abbas will hold important talks with Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Egyptian state news agency MENA said.Fatah took part in U.S.-sponsored direct talks with Israel last year, drawing condemnation from Hamas which seized Gaza from Fatah in 2007 and is hostile to the Jewish state.Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza after Hamas took control there.Egypt sponsored six months of talks between Hamas and Fatah in 2009 that led to a draft pact to form a national unity government.Fatah signed the pact but Hamas refrained, demanding guarantees for international recognition.Abbas, whose movement still runs affairs in self-ruled areas of the West Bank, said last week he was ready to visit Gaza to end divisions and kick-start a comprehensive dialogue.Delegations from Fatah and Hamas visited Cairo last week, meeting with officials from Egypt's intelligence agency, the foreign ministry and the Arab League.The army now runs Egypt after an uprising ousted President Hosni Mubarak on February 11.(Writing by Marwa Awad)
Israel demands retraction of UN Gaza report
by Charly Wegman - APR 3,11
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel demanded on Sunday that the United Nations bin a report critical of its deadly 2008-2009 offensive on Gaza after the author said he had been wrong to say it had targeted civilians.South African judge Richard Goldstone had faced down enormous criticism in Israel at the time over the report which accused both Israel and the Hamas rulers of Gaza of potential war crimes during the 22-day conflict.But in a surprise about-turn on Saturday, he said that information he had received since indicated that Israel had not deliberately targeted civilians during the campaign, a key charge of the report.He said his assessment had also been changed by the fact that whereas Israel had thoroughly investigated the concerns raised by his panel, Hamas had not.If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document, he wrote in a commentary piece in the Washington Post.The report's findings had set the tone for widespread international condemnation of the Israeli assault on Hamas-ruled Gaza in which more than 1,400 people lost their lives, the vast majority of them Palestinians.Israeli officials said the United Nations now needed to set the record straight.This is an extremely important development and right now we are multiplying our efforts to get this report rescinded, Defence Minister Ehud Barak told army radio on Sunday.I am going to give the issue my personal commitment, Barak said, adding that he deeply regretted the harm already done.
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would set up a team of legal experts and diplomats to find concrete ways to turn the clock back and try to lessen the enormous damage of this train of vilification against the state of Israel.Goldstone himself has just confirmed what we all knew all along... I think our soldiers and army behaved according to the highest international standards, the premier said during a brief televised address on Saturday.In his opinion piece in the Post, Goldstone said he now concurred with Netanyahu that the council had a history of bias against Israel.A UN committee of independent experts that followed up on the Goldstone Report's recommendations found that Israel has dedicated significant resources to investigate over 400 allegations of operational misconduct in Gaza.In contrast, Hamas leaders have not conducted any investigations into the rocket and mortar attacks against Israel that were its grounds for going to war.In Gaza, Hamas said it was surprised by Goldstone's comments and said he did not now have the right to come and change the findings.It is not Goldstone's private property, as a team of international judges as well as Goldstone participated in developing it -- apart from the fact that it relies on a number of documents and eyewitness testimony which increases the report's strength and credibility.The statement from spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri did not respond to Goldstone's assertion that Hamas had not investigated charges levelled against it in the report of deliberately targeting civilians with rocket fire.Goldstone said allegations of intentionality by Israel were based on the death and wounding of civilians in situations where his fact-finding mission could not reach any other reasonable conclusion.
He said that while some incidents were validated in cases involving individual soldiers, Israeli investigations found that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy. Goldstone recalled one of the most serious incidents his team investigated -- without Israel's cooperation due to its allegations that the investigators were biased -- when Israeli shelling of a Gaza home killed 29 members of the Al-Samouni family.He noted that Israel's investigation into the attack found it was apparently due to a commander's misinterpretation of a drone image and that an officer was under investigation for having ordered the shelling. I regret that our fact-finding mission did not have such evidence explaining the circumstances in which we said civilians in Gaza were targeted, because it probably would have influenced our findings about intentionality and war crimes,Goldstone wrote.
Brazil A Resort For Terror Movers and Shakers
by Gavriel Queenann APR 3,11
At least 20 terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda, Hizbullah and Hamas have been hiding out in Brazil planning attacks, raising money, and recruiting operatives, according to Veja Magazine.The report on Saturday ressurects fears the oil-rich South American nation is serving as a terror resort for Islamic militants.Veja, citing Brazilian police and US government reports, said these operatives have been raising money and working to incite attacks abroad. No details of these operations were included in the article.The United States has said Islamic militants have been operating in the border region between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.For sure, members, facilitators, and sympathizers of Islamic terrorist organizations are present in our hemisphere, Adm. Jim Stavridis, head of the U.S. Southern Command, wrote in the Americas Quarterly journal.We consider Latin America and the Caribbean as being highly likely bases for future terrorist threats to the U.S. and others.The Lebanon-based Hizbullah was the most prominent group in Latin America, Stavridis wrote. Most of its activity appeared to be fund-raising but there are indications of an operational presence and the potential for attacks.Stavridis said security threats posed by local terror operatives were partly the result of poverty, inequality and corruption — problems he inists must be addressed for a lasting solution to defeat terror.
He noted that analysts and polls said anti-U.S. sentiment was growing and that the Bush administration had ignored Latin America. This has allowed leaders such as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to whip up opposition to the United States.Anti-U.S. leaders are creating tensions and suspicions that exacerbate what is already a difficult mission, he said.Brazilian authorities have long insisted it has no indication of terrorist cells in the tri-border region, although they have admitted being aware of financial contributions to groups such as Hizbullah, which Brazil does not classify as a terrorist organization.Relations between Brazil and the United States since President Dilma Rousseff took office in January have warmed, however. Rousseff has sought closer US ties after her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, angered the United States with attempts to mediate over Iran's nuclear program.Veja reported that Khaled Hussein Ali of Lebanese origin, who has lived in Brazil since 1998, is an important member of al Qaeda's propaganda machine and coordinates with extremists in 17 countries.Ali was briefly detained by authorities in Brazil in March 2009 after a police investigation discovered videos and texts intended for Al Qaeda followers. One email found on his computer and which was sent as spam to email addresses in the United States incited hatred against Jews and blacks, Veja said.He spent 21 days in prison on charges of racism, inciting crime and gang formation, but he was set free because prosecutors did not pursue the charges in court, according to the magazine.Some observers speculate the arrest may herald a shift in position by Brazilian authorities vis-a-vis their classification of terror groups.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Quran protests spread to turbulent Afghan east
By RAHMAT GUL and RAHIM FAIEZ, Associated Press - APR 3,11
JALALABAD, Afghanistan – Demonstrators battled police in southern Afghanistan's main city on Sunday and took to the streets in the turbulent east for the first time as Western pleas failed to halt the third day of rage over a Florida pastor's burning of the Quran.Officers and protesters skirmished for the second straight day in the city of Kandahar, leaving two officers and 18 civilians hurt, provincial health director Qayum Pokhla told The Associated Press.In Jalalabad, the largest city in the east, hundreds of people blocked the main highway for three hours, shouting for U.S. troops to leave, burning an effigy of President Barack Obama and stomping on a drawing of a U.S. flag. More than 1,000 people set tires ablaze to block the highway in eastern Parwan province for about an hour, provincial police chief Sher Ahmad Maladani said.Resentment has been building for years here over the operations of Western military forces, blamed for killing and mistreating civilians, and international contractors, seen by many as enriching themselves and fueling corruption at the expense of ordinary Afghans.
Coverage of the ongoing trial of a group of U.S. soldiers' charged with killings of Afghan civilians and the publication of photos of some posing with dead bodies fueled that anger, which violently erupted Friday in a protest over the little-publicized destruction of the Quran last month.Thousands of demonstrators in the previously peaceful northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif poured into the streets after Friday prayers and overran a U.N. compound, killing three U.N. staff members and four Nepalese guards.On Saturday, hundreds of Afghans holding copies of the Quran over their heads marched in Kandahar before starting to attack cars and businesses. Security forces opened fire and nine protesters were killed but the governor of Kandahar said officers had only fired into the air. He said 81 were wounded and 17 people, including seven armed men, had been arrested.Military commander Gen. David Petraeus and the top NATO civilian representative in Afghanistan, Mark Sedwill, said that they hope the Afghan people understand that the actions of a small number of individuals, who have been extremely disrespectful to the Holy Quran, are not representative of any of the countries of the international community who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people.The Taliban said in a statement emailed to media outlets that the U.S. and other Western countries had wrongly excused the burning of the Quran on March 20 as freedom of speech and that Afghans cannot accept this un-Islamic act.Afghan forces under the order of the foreign forces attacked unarmed people during the protests, killing them and arresting some, saying there were armed people among these protesters, which was not true,the Taliban said.The governor of Kandahar said he and the main leaders of the protests in the southern city had reached an agreement that would end the demonstrations. He did not provide details.Associated Press writer Mirwais Khan contributed to this report from Chaman, Pakistan.
Spain socialists need quick fix on leader: analyst
- APR 3,11
MADRID (Reuters) – Spain's ruling Socialist Party needs to resolve its leadership succession soon to dispel any market doubts over the government's commitment to reforms to meet European Union deficit targets, analysts say.In the transition period, it will be vital that Spain continues to differentiate itself from other periphery economies, particularly neighboring Portugal, to avoid renewed speculative attacks on its sovereign debt.Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, his popularity hammered by the euro zone's highest jobless rate, said on Saturday he would not seek a third term in 2012 elections his party is expected to lose.There needs to be no doubts over how the economy will be managed in the coming months, said Emilio Ontiveros, chairman of International Financial Analysts.Zapatero's move triggers primaries for a new party leader after May 22 local polls, with popular Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba shown as still the preferred candidate, according to the latest Metroscopia poll published by El Pais newspaper on Sunday.The euro zone's fourth largest economy came under attack in bond markets after a real estate bubble burst in 2008, causing a deep recession and 20 percent unemployment. Spain's recovery has lagged behind the rest of Europe.But Zapatero said he would serve out the remainder of his term and focus on carrying out his programme of economic reforms, a decision which some analysts say could minimize the impact of the succession issue.I don't think Zapatero not standing a third term will prejudice Spain's position with Brussels. He has said he will carry on with economic reforms,said Carlos Berzosa, economics expert and rector at Madrid Complutense University.(Reporting by Judy MacInnes; editing by David Cowell)
Spain's prime minister won't seek 3rd term
By HAROLD HECKLE, Associated Press – Sat Apr 2, 7:18 am ET
MADRID – Spain's embattled prime minister announced Saturday he will not seek re-election at general elections in 2012 as his country grapples with debt, high unemployment and a faltering economy badly hit by the international financial crisis.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero told a party meeting he would limit his time in office to two terms, opening a process of primaries to elect his successor at the helm of the Socialist Party.I will not be a candidate in the forthcoming general elections, he said, adding it was the right decision for the country, his party and his family.
Zapatero, 50, was elected to office in 2004 in the wake of terror attacks on Madrid's trains that left 191 dead and 1,800 injured, and a wave of public disapproval at the previous government's involvement in the Iraq war.At the time, Spain's economy was one of the most dynamic in Europe having recorded continuous growth for around a decade.But the credit crunch and subsequent financial crisis has dogged Zapatero's second term and immersed Spain in debt and a eurozone-high unemployment rate of 20 percent.The Socialist Party faces regional and municipal elections on May 22 and then must build toward nationwide general elections with a new leader.The most likely candidates are current Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba and Defense Minister Carme Chacon, who would become Spain's first female premier if elected.A tired-looking Zapatero said he had been convinced that two terms as leader of the government was enough seven years ago when he first took office, and he remained convinced of that decision today.The Socialists must choose their new candidate in March 2012 for national elections at an as-yet unspecified date later that year.
Rubalcaba, 59, is seen by many as a very experienced politician who has acted as Zapatero's hard man against the violent Basque separatists of ETA.At 40, Chacon cuts a youthful dash but has gained considerable respect in charge of the nation's defense, overseeing Spain's troops in Afghanistan and as part of the international effort to enforce a no fly zone over and a naval blockade off Libya.The conservative opposition Popular Party used its Twitter web feed network to call on the government to hold early general elections.
IMF denies pressing Greece to restructure debt
– Sat Apr 2, 6:59 pm ET
WASHINGTON/BERLIN (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund on Saturday denied a report in German magazine Der Spiegel that it was privately pressing Greece to restructure its debt.As we have said consistently, the IMF supports the Greek government's position of no debt restructuring and its determination to fully service its debt obligations. Any reports claiming otherwise are wrong, an IMF spokeswoman told Reuters.Without citing any sources, Der Spiegel reported that the IMF had reversed its previous opposition to the idea of a Greek restructuring and now believed one was necessary soon.It wrote that senior IMF officials were recommending this to European governments because Greece's debt mountain was now roughly one-and-a-half times its annual economic output.Early in March, IMF European Director Antonio Borges told reporters he was confident that Greek debt is sustainable, adding that the Greeks had made quite a bit of progress on their banks as well.But since the IMF now believes current measures no longer suffice, it would like to see interest rates on Greek sovereign debt lowered, maturities extended or the amount of principal which Greece has to repay cut, Der Spiegel said.
European governments and the IMF are jointly contributing to and administering Greece's 110 billion euro ($155 billion) bailout, so a split between them on policy could be damaging to Greece's prospects for recovery.Greek and European officials have long insisted that Greece can recover without restructuring its debt, and that even discussing a restructuring now would be counter-productive by damaging banks across Europe and causing panic in markets.Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, speaking to Reuters at a conference in Italy on Saturday, responded to the Der Spiegel report by saying: There is absolutely no chance of a restructuring of Greek debt.He added,People (who talk about a restructuring) fail to understand that the costs would much outweigh the benefits.European Commission spokesman Jens Mester said: All support measures are in place, and there is no reason now to start thinking of this possibility of restructuring Greece's debt.Der Spiegel reported that the IMF was still not willing to call openly for a Greek restructuring out of fear this could increase market pressure on Portugal. Portuguese bond yields have soared in the last several weeks because investors think Lisbon may soon be forced to seek a bailout.Many investors and analysts think an eventual Greek restructuring may be inevitable. Cutting its credit rating of Cyprus on Wednesday, Standard and Poor's cited an increasing likelihood that the Greek government will restructure its debt.Former European Central Bank chief economist Otmar Issing told Der Spiegel last month that Greece's sovereign debt would have to be restructured as soon as other euro zone countries were out of danger.Before any restructuring, however, Greece may try another strategy. Papaconstantinou said on Wednesday that Athens might use some proceeds from state asset sales to buy back outstanding bonds from the market; since market prices of its debt have dropped sharply below face value, this could have the effect of a restructuring in lightening Greece's debt load without requiring Athens to conduct difficult talks with creditors.(Reporting by Lesley Wroughton, Christiaan Hetzner, Renee Maltezou, Valentina Za and Charlie Dunmore; Writing by Andrew Torchia; Editing by Ron Askew)
Irish and Greek debts sustainable: EU rescue fund chief
– Sat Apr 2, 7:52 am ET
DUBLIN (Reuters) – European authorities and the International Monetary Fund believe Ireland and Greece can sustain their debts while it is up to Portugal whether it joins them in seeking help, the head of Europe's rescue fund said. Fears Ireland will not be able to shoulder the burden of one of the world's most costliest bank bailouts have overshadowed the government's pledge to recapitalize its financial system by 24 billion euros and draw a line under its woes.Klaus Regling, head of the European Financial Stability Facility, said last week that there were risks to the assumption that Greece would pay back its debts, but he did not identify any similar risks to Ireland in an interview with the Irish Times on Saturday.The assessment of the three institutions that have the task to make this kind of assessment -- the IMF, the European Commission and the ECB -- is that these countries will reach a sustainable debt situation at the end of their programmes, Regling told the newspaper.
Portugal is struggling internally whether they should ask for assistance or not, we shall see, it's their decision. It's these three countries that will have serious problems for a while, but not the euro area as a whole.Spain overall is in much better shape. There's no programme, no need for financial emergency assistance in Spain.Regling, who was speculated last month as being Germany's candidate for the presidency of the European Central Bank, repeated that he was happy in his current job and not a candidate.I am not a candidate and I'm happy to be here to manage the EFSF and to prepare the ESM,Regling said.(Reporting by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Ron Askew)
Report critical of pay practices at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
– Fri Apr 1, 1:21 am ET
(Reuters) – The heads of bailed-out mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) were paid fat salaries without proper written procedures or analysis, according to a report published by the Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA-OIG).Also, the housing regulator Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has not considered the factors that might have possibly resulted in reduced executive compensation costs, the review report said.The heads of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were paid a total of $17.1 million in 2009 and 2010 -- the two full years of government ownership.The top six executives at the housing giants were paid $35.4 million over the two years, according to the report that was posted on the agency's website.The Inspector General said FHFA has not developed written procedures to evaluate the recommended executive compensation levels each year.FHFA also does not provide sufficient transparency to the public of the Enterprises' executive compensation program, the Office of Inspector General said in the evaluation report.The report recommended that FHFA should establish ongoing review and analysis process to determine the compensation levels for the top executives of mortgage finance giants.The mortgage firms have taken more than $130 billion in direct taxpayer aid since 2008 and the U.S. government indicated in February that total cost could peak at $169 billion by late next year before beginning to shrink as they slowly repay taxpayers.Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside regular U.S. business hours.(Reporting by Sakthi Prasad in Bangalore; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

LEVITICUS 14:1 - 15:33
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:
17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
LEVITICUS 15:1-33
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
PROPHETS PORTION
2 KINGS 7:3-20
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 9:20-26
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
MARK 5:24-34
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
LUKE 8:42-48
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
LEVITICUS 15:1-33
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
PROPHETS PORTION
2 KINGS 7:3-20
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 9:20-26
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
MARK 5:24-34
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
LUKE 8:42-48
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
HEBREWS 13:4
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
