The separatism in china is growing and the Uighars are revolting. Call it Islamic separatism or chinese oppression doesnt matter but the fire has been lit. IBNLIVE Urumqi (China): Five people died in unrest this week in the far-west Chinese city of Urumqi, its deputy mayor said on Friday, after a third day of protests which were broken up by police using tear gas. Han Chinese protesters massed in the capital of the Xinjiang region, angry at authorities they blamed for failing to control a spate of syringe attacks and being slow to bring to trial ethnic Uighurs charged with deadly rioting on July 5. The demonstrations are a rare direct challenge to the government by middle class urbanites, and could inflame ethnic resentments as Beijing prepares to showcase the nation's achievements on October 1, the 60th anniversary of Communist rule. Troops blocked protesters' access to neighbourhoods that are home to Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim people native to the energy-rich region.

The fireworks and bloodbaths have come to stay here or so it looks like. Reuters By Fraidoun Elham KUNDUZ, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A U.S. warplane summoned by German troops fired on hijacked fuel trucks in Afghanistan before dawn Friday, killing as many as 90 people in an incident that could trigger a backlash against NATO. NATO initially said it believed the casualties were all Taliban fighters, but later acknowledged that large numbers of wounded civilians were being treated in hospitals in the area. Villagers said their relatives were siphoning fuel from the hijacked trucks and were burned alive in a giant fireball. Patients arrived in hospitals completely covered with burns. President Hamid Karzai's office gave a death toll of 90. It said he was deeply saddened and had sent investigators.

The clear up's begun after a car bomb was detonated outside the Greek capital's stock exchange building..

Car bomb seems to have reached the greek capital. TOI MUMBAI: The car bomb blast that has damaged the Athens Stock Exchange luckily seems to have only slightly injured one person. The Greek government has denounced it as the work of a far left group, most probably the Revolutionary Struggle urban terrorist organisation, which was established after last year’s riots over the police shooting of a teenage boy. But whatever the local reasons, there are some in Mumbai who will feel a chill of recognition. It is 16 years since the Bombay Stock Exchange was attacked during the 1993 bomb blasts in the city. Dalal Street has moved on since then, and shows next to no sign of the blasts, but there are still those who were wounded both physically and mentally, and who have grounds to regret the attraction that stock exchanges have always held for terrorists. Such prominent symbols of capitalism are naturally tempting targets. And the fact that they tend to have more people moving through them an

Reuters report By Rafiq Sherzad MEHTAR LAM, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed Afghanistan's powerful deputy head of intelligence and at least 22 other people in an attack on Wednesday claimed by the Taliban . Abdullah Laghmani, deputy head of the National Directorate for Security, was one the highest-ranking security officials in President Hamid Karzai's government to be killed in the conflict. The Taliban said he was targeted for assassination. In other developments, new preliminary vote tallies showed Karzai inching closer to a first-round victory in last month's presidential election but the outcome remains so close that fraud investigations could decide if a run-off is needed. The poll was a major test for Karzai after eight years in power and for U.S. President Barack Obama 's strategy of sending more troops to fight an increasingly lethal foe in what Washington sees as the frontline in its war on terrorism.

AP Islamabad please learn from the mistakes adn stop sponsoring terrorism coz, it can turn against you anytime as is evident. By KAY JOHNSON and ASIF SHAHZAD (AP) – 1 day ago ISLAMABAD — Bombings targeted a Pakistani police station and set a NATO fuel convoy ablaze Sunday, killing 16 cadets in the northwest's Swat Valley and threatening the supply line to international forces in Afghanistan in a separate attack near the border. The two blasts hours apart and hundreds of miles from each other came as Pakistani officials said the Taliban were ramping up strikes to avenge recent setbacks, including the loss of territory to the military and the death of their top leader in a CIA missile strike near the Afghan border.

Phillipines hit by another bomb blast. terror has no boundaries and certainly no rules.

Two soldiers were injured when an improvised bomb exploded on an interior road in the village of Bus-bus in Jolo, Sulu, on Sunday night. But Maj. Gen.

"Walang na recover yung mga miyembro ng EOD (Members of the Exlosives and Ordnance Unit did not recover anything), but the explosion resulted in a two-foot crater along the road," he said. Dolorfino declared the attack as the handiwork of terrorists. "Definitely it's terrorism," Dolorfino said, but he did not blame any specific group. Supt. Alibuddin Esmail,

By NINIEK KARMINI (AP) – 1 day ago JAKARTA, Indonesia — A suspect wanted in connection with hotel suicide bombings in the Indonesian capital infiltrated the national airline in a plot to carry out a "bigger attack," the police chief said Monday. The suspect, identified only as Syahrir, was recruited by a militant network and had been working as a technician with the airline, Garuda Indonesia, said National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri. Documents seized by police uncovered the plot to strike Indonesia's airline sector, he said, without providing details about when or how the attack was supposed to have taken place.

ETAIWANNEWS A man who was stopped by traffic police in Russia's southern region of Dagestan detonated explosives in his car Tuesday, killing a passer-by and injuring 13 other people.Dagestan Interior Ministry spokesman Mark Tolchinsky said the blast occurred at a traffic checkpoint on the outskirts of Dagestan's capital city, Makhachkala. Tolchinsky told the AP that the police post was partly destroyed in the blast. In stopping the car, the traffic police managed to avert a large-scale terrorist attack in Makhachkala, Dagestan's Interior Minister Ali Magomedov said in a statement. Dagestan suffers such attacks frequently. The violence, which plagues a broader area within Russia's North Caucasus, stems from two bloody wars in nearby Chechnya and is blamed on separatists. Russian news agencies reported a separate blast in Chechnya Tuesday that injured three troops belonging to the region's Interior Ministry. This year has seen an intensifi
