Dravid set for T20 debut as India lose Gambhir

Posted:

Veteran India batsman Rahul Dravid is set to play his first -- and last -- Twenty20 international in the one-off game against England at Old Trafford on Wednesday after Gautam Gambhir became the latest player to leave an injury-hit tour. The 38-year-old Dravid was one of India s few successes in their recent 4-0 Test series defeat by England, scoring three hundreds as the hosts replaced the injury-hit tourists at the top of the ICC s Test standings. That series ended at The Oval just over a week ago in a match where Gambhir suffered an injury after falling on his head trying to take a catch. And with the opening batsman ruled out of both the Twenty20 international and the subsequent five one-dayers against England, that means Dravid, the second highest run scorer in Test history behind India team-mate Sachin Tendulkar and with 339 one-day internationals to his credit, is set to make a T20 debut for his country. If he plays, it will also be Dravid s last Twenty20 match for India as he has said he will retire from shorter formats of the international game after this tour to concentrate on prolonging his illustrious Test career.

3 killed, 3 wounded in Russia's volatile Chechnya

Posted:

Three police officers were killed and three civilians wounded in a suicide bomb attack and subsequent shooting in Russia s province of Chechnya. The suicide bomber killed two police officers near a cafe in the Chechen capital, Grozny, where a festive crowd was celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, duty officer Musa Kasayev said. The explosion also wounded three civilians nearby, he said. The regional police press service said that a third police officer was killed in a shootout in a crowd that gathered around the cafe after the explosion. No one claimed responsibility for the attacks. An Islamic insurgency has spread across Russia s southern Caucasus region since two separatists wars were fought in Chechnya. The insurgents launch regular attacks on authorities they blame for abductions, torture and extra-judicial killings. While Chechnya has become more stable in recent years under the steely grip of a Moscow-backed strongman, neighboring provinces have seen an increase in attacks on police and other authorities.

UN agrees to unfreeze Libyan funds held in UK

Posted:

The United Nations has agreed to unfreeze nearly 1 billion pounds (about $1.6 billion) worth of Libyan currency held in the UK. The newly printed Libyan Dinar notes were being held in Britain under sanctions imposed on Moammar Gaddafi s regime by the UN Security Council. Britain s Foreign Secretary William Hague praised the decision of the council committee monitoring sanctions against Libya as "another major step forward in getting necessary assistance to the Libyan people." He says unfreezing the Libyan assets "will help address urgent humanitarian needs, instill confidence in the banking sector, pay salaries of key public sector workers and free up liquidity in the economy."

Libyan rebels set deadline for final battle

Posted:

Libyan rebels said that they are ready for the final battle of their more than six-month uprising after their leaders gave Moamer Gaddafi s last loyalists a Saturday deadline to surrender. The head of the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil, said the respite was offered to mark the three-day Eid al-Fitr feast which follows the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramazan. But NATO vowed no let-up in its bombing of Gaddafi s forces until they stop attacking civilians, warning the elusive Libyan leader was still in active command of some troops. Rebel military spokesman Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani said he still hoped efforts to negotiate the peaceful surrender of the remaining towns in loyalist hands would bear fruit. However he added there was no sign of that yet and that time was running out. "Zero hour is quickly approaching. We would like everyone to know that we are ready for a final military battle," he told a news conference in the rebels  eastern stronghold of Benghazi. "So far we have been given no indication of a peaceful surrender... We continue to seek a peaceful solution, but on Saturday we will use different methods against these criminals." The NTC chief said talks were under way with civic and tribal leaders in a number of towns, including Gaddafi s birthplace Sirte in an effort to avoid bloodshed but said they must rapidly come to a conclusion. "From Saturday, if no peaceful solution is in sight on the ground, we will resort to military force," Abdel Jalil said. He warned Gaddafi "is not finished yet," as NATO said the strongman was still able to command and control his remaining troops even though he is on the run. "He is displaying a capability to exercise some level of command and control," Colonel Roland Lavoie, military spokesman of the NATO air mission in Libya, told a news briefing via video link from his headquarters in Naples. "The pro-Gaddafi troops that we see are not in total disarray, they are retreating in an orderly fashion, conceding ground and going to the second best position that they could hold to continue their warfare," he added. While rebels sought to talk Gaddafi troops into surrendering in their last major stronghold of Sirte, Lavoie said NATO air strikes were continuing and were now focused around the town. "Despite the fall of the Gaddafi regime and the gradual return of security for many Libyans, NATO s mission is not finished yet," he said.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani greeted the nation on the occasion of Eid, and urged them to promote affection, tolerance, patience and brotherhood. In his message, Zardari said Islam asks people to avoid terrorism, sectarianism and prejudices. "On this blissful juncture, we must remember the segment of the society which is not able to celebrate Eid due to the lack of resources. We must remember the people affected in last year s devastating floods and this year s rainfall. We as Muslims should support the oppressed people by all means so that they would be included in the happiness of Eid," Zardari said in a statement. Gilani in his message said: "While we are celebrating this festival with traditional fervour, it is our national and Islamic duty that we also include underprivileged and disadvantaged sections of our society in our happiness." "Terrorism and extremism have posed serious problems to our state and society. The killing of innocent people is contrary to the spirit of Islamic teachings and the message of Eid-ul-Fitr." "The government is determined to apprehend the perpetrators of violence and bring them to justice," Gilani said.

Constitutional writ to be restored in Karachi: CJP

Posted:

Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said that the judiciary does not want to impose emergency by breaching constitution because the nation cannot face its consequences. In his remarks during the hearing of sue moto action taken by Supreme Court on the law and order situation and targeted killings in Karachi CJ said that it is the wish of judiciary that the government machinery should be used to control the situation. He asked IG Sindh that why not any action was taken in the city even after killings of 306 people. He said that IGP should also tell the court that how many torture cells are working in Karachi. The proceedings were started in Karachi Registry of Supreme Court on Tuesday, which is being conducted by a five-member bench under the chairmanship of Chief Justice. The other judges in the bench are Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani, Justice Ameer Hani Muslim and Justice Ghulam Rabbani. Chief Justice said that extortion money is received in Karachi as a right. In these circumstances how the conditions would be improved. He said that constitution would be implemented in Karachi also. He instructed IGP to take action for making the city arms free by saying that without taking the arms from the people , peace could not be restored in the city. During his arguments, lawyer of Sindh government Abdul Hafeez Pirzada told the court that the biggest reason behind Karachi turmoil is that the rangers and police are not being utilized in befitting manner. If they would be assigned properly the state of affairs could be overcome. He said that the first ever conflict between MQM and Pukhtoons took place in the regime of General Zia-ul-Haq. He said that as far as the current wave of violence is concerned, it started on the issue of local government system, and if it is not controlled , they could turn into ethnic clashes.

On which Chief Justice said that Karachi is his city and they are ready to hold hearing even on Eid day for the restoration of peace in Karachi. On the occasion Justice Anwar Jamali said that common man is thinking that he is deprived of the basic rights and if rights would not be given to the people, then Supreme Court would intervene. On Tuesday Karachi Bar Association, Jammat-e-Islami, Sindh Bachao Committee and ANP submitted the applications in the court that they want to become party in the case.

Isinbayeva beaten as Brazilian takes pole vault gold

Posted:

Russia s athletics queen Yelena Isinbayeva became the latest upset at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea as she failed to gain a medal in an event won by Brazilian Fabiana Murer. Isinbayeva, the reigning Olympic champion and world record holder, failed to clear 4.80 metres, well short of her world record of 5.05m. Her best clearance of 4.65m left her down in sixth place. The 2005 and 2007 champion had also failed to gain a medal at the 2009 world championships in Berlin. Murer took the gold with a 4.85m clearance. Martina Strutz of Germany took second with 4.80m with Russia s Svetlana Feofanova third with 4.75m. World record holder David Rudisha of Kenya won gold in the men s 800 metres with a dominant display of front running. The rangy Rudisha, who broke the world record twice in a week in 2010, took the title in Daegu in a time of 1:43.91 ahead of Abubaker Kaki of Sudan. The bronze medal went to Russian Yuriy Borzakovskiy. Teenager Kirani James chased down defending champion LaShawn Merritt on the home straight to win 400 metres gold and Grenada s first medal at the world championships. Jessica Ennis, Britain s brightest hope for athletics gold at next year s London Olympics, lost her heptathlon world title to Russia s Tatyana Chernova. Bidding to become the first Britain to retain a world title, Ennis had held a 118-point lead after the morning s long jump but her chances of retaining the title she won two years ago all but disappeared in the second event, the javelin throw. While Chernova managed a best of 52.95 metres with her second attempt in blinding sunshine at the Daegu stadium, Ennis was left counting the cost of failing to register a throw over 39.95. The 25-year-old Ennis trailed the Olympic bronze medallist by 133 points going into the seventh and final event of the competition and the Russian was able to protect her commanding lead comfortably in the 800 metres. Chernova clocked her season s best time of two minutes 08.04 seconds to clinch the gold with 6,880 points, while Ennis s personal best of 2.07.81 was only good enough for silver with 6,751. Jennifer Oeser of Germany took bronze with 6,572 points. In the day s other two finals, Robert Harting of Germany won the men s discus with 68.97m and Yuliya Zaripova of Russia took the women s 3000m steeplechase in 9:07.03.

Former Brazil captain Ricardo suffers a stroke during match

Posted:

Vasco da Gama coach Ricardo Gomes was hospitalized after suffering a stroke during a Brazilian championship match. The 46-year-old former Brazil defender and captain was rushed off the pitch in an ambulance after suffering head pains during the second half of Vasco s 0-0 draw with Ronaldinho s Flamengo in the Rio de Janeiro derby at the Engenhao stadium. Ricardo underwent surgery to stop the bleeding and remained in the intensive care unit in a medically induced coma. On Tuesday morning, Ricardo was stable and doctors discarded the possibility of doing another procedure. The medical team said it was too early to say what damage his brain could have suffered. Ricardo had already suffered a mild ischemia last year, when he was Sao Paulo coach. He played in the national squad from 1986 to 1990 and coached Paris Saint-Germain in the late 90s.

World oil prices stage rally

Posted:

Oil prices rallied Tuesday in volatile, low-volume trade, with sentiment supported by the weaker dollar even as weak new consumer data emerged from the US and the eurozone. New York s main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for October delivery, rose $1.63 to close at $88.90 a barrel. Brent North Sea for delivery in October leaped $2.14 to settle at $114.02 a barrel. The market moved amid promises from Libya that oil production would be ratcheted up soon, and the release of minutes from the August 9 meeting of the US Federal Reserve that showed the central bank mulling actions to boost the economy. Also in the mix was Sunoco s shutting down its Philadelphia refinery due to the power cuts forced by Hurricane Irene -- which could tighten US gasoline supplies. "The combination of potentially more stimulus from the Fed in the market along with higher gasoline prices are moving oil to the upside," Bart Melek of TD Securities said of the oil market. In earlier choppy deals, the oil market slid on the back of falling stock markets and the stronger dollar. Oil traders meanwhile shrugged off news of tumbling consumer confidence in both the eurozone and the United States. "The market is also watching developments in Libya, but fundamentally little changed since last week in quiet post-bank holiday trading in London," said VTB Capital analyst Andrey Kryuchenkov. He said eyes were now on economic data releases in the coming days that would help point the direction of growth in the large industrialized oil consumers. "The market is bracing itself ahead of this week s all important US non-farm payrolls (on Friday), as well as August manufacturing PMIs on both sides of the Atlantic as well as China," he said.

US stocks rise on hope of Fed action

Posted:

US stocks closed with modest gains after newly released minutes from the Federal Reserve s key policy committee raised hopes that the Fed would act to boost the ailing economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.59 points (0.15 percent) to 11,556.84 in closing trade. The broader S&P 500 climbed 2.48 points (0.20 percent) to 1,212.56, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 13.09 points (0.51 percent) to 2,575.20. After opening with losses, US stock market crept upwards and closed higher after minutes of the August 9 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee showed members discussing what steps to take if the economy continued to stall.

Afghan govt derailed US talks with Taliban
--------------------------------------------------------------
By Anwar Iqbal
WASHINGTON, Aug 29: US officials confirmed on Monday a media report that the Afghan government deliberately leaked details of the United States' secret meetings with a Taliban emissary, scuttling the US-Taliban talks and sending the intermediary into hiding.

Pakistan had also been kept in the dark about the talks, said the original Associated Press report which was later confirmed by senior US counter-terrorism officials who spoke to various US media outlets...

Robles disqualified to hand Richardson hurdles gold

Posted:

Dayron Robles was disqualified at the at the world athletics championships to hand Jason Richardson the world championship gold medal in the men s 110-metre hurdles. Cuban hurdler Dayron Robles was stripped of gold and glory at the world athletics championships in Daegu, South Korea in a twist every bit as dramatic as Usain Bolt s disqualification from the blue riband 100 metres sprint the night before.  The muscular world record-holder was disqualified after a physical track tussle in the 110 metres hurdles final with China s Liu Xiang. Robles bumped Liu in an epic race between the three fastest hurdlers of all time -- America s David Oliver finished fifth -- and crossed the line first ahead of American Jason Richardson. The Chinese protested, however, and though world athletics governing body the IAAF did not rule out the race being re-run, Richardson has gold as it stands with Liu in silver and Britain s Andy Turner lifted to bronze. Allyson Felix of the United States dreams of completing an unprecedented women s 200-400m double at a worlds disappeared when she was beaten in the 400 final by Amantle Montsho, the first Botswanan to win a world championship gold. Montsho raced across the line in a time of 49.56 seconds with Felix just three-hundreths of a second behind. Anastasiya Kapachinskaya won bronze for Russia. Carmelita Jeter put a smile back on the faces of Team USA in the night s last final, racing to gold in the women s 100 metres. She finished in 10.90 seconds, beating Jamaica s Veronica Campbell-Brown by 0.07 seconds with Trinidadian Kelly-Ann Baptiste third. Earlier, South African double-amputee Oscar Pistorius bowed out of the championships after failing to qualify for the 400 metres final. In the field events, Koji Murofushi earned a surprise gold medal in the hammer with a throw of 81.24 metres to give Japan its first title of the world championships. Murofushi s mark was six centimetres better than that of Hungarian Krisztian Pars, and Slovenian Primoz Kozmus, who won gold in Berlin two years ago, had to settle for the bronze. Valerie Adams of New Zealand won her third successive shot title with a championship record of 21.24 metres in the final round. Nadzeya Ostapchuk of Belarus was second with 20.05 followed by American Jillian Camarena-Williams on 20.02. There was drama in the men s pole vault when Russian Dmitry Starodubtsev s pole snapped, leaving him sprawled on the landing area clutching his chest, though he was able to eventually able to walk away, wincing in pain. The competition was won by Poland s Pawel Wojciechowski s clearance at the second attempt of 5.90 metres, beating into second place Lazaro Borges who needed three attempts to clear the same height. Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie took third on 5.85 metres.

Japan PM Naoto Kan and his cabinet resign

Japan s Prime Minister Naoto Kan and his cabinet resigned on Tuesday, making way for Yoshihiko Noda, the outgoing finance minister, to be confirmed by parliament as the new premier later in the day. At the end of an extraordinary cabinet meeting, the outgoing trade and industry minister Banri Kaieda confirmed to reporters that the entire group of ministers had stepped down, saying "Yes, all of them".

Iran denies role in Syria crackdown

Posted:

Iran s government has denied allegations it is playing a role in Syria s bloody crackdown on political opposition.  But reports in the international press continue to contend that Iran is helping Syria militarily. Iran s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, said that Tehran is “not intervening” to help Syria s government repress its people. He described as "baseless," allegations from the European Union that the Quds Brigade of Iran s Revolutionary Guards is involved in the Syrian crackdown. During a news conference last week, Mehmanparast urged other countries “not to intervene in Syria s internal political crisis.”  Reports in the Arab and international press have accused both Iran and its Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, of helping Syrian authorities deal with the popular uprising. Former Iranian President Abolhassan Bani Sadr, now an exiled opponent of Iran s government, is among those who say Iran and Hezbollah are helping Syria in the crackdown. He says the Iranian regime is helping Syria in every possible way.  He says he has information that 3,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards and 2,200 Hezbollah fighters are working with the Syrian government.  But he contends that Saudi Arabia is also intervening in Syria - on the opposition side. Hilal Khashan, who teaches political science at the American University of Beirut, says Iran is in fact starting to distance itself from the Syrian regime, anticipating that it may fall.  He notes that Iran s Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, urged Syria last week to address its people s “legitimate demands.” “The fact that the Iranians are beginning to talk to the Syrians and telling the regime to accommodate the  legitimate demands of the Syrian people  means that they are concluding that the regime in Damascus is unsalvageable. In the long run, the regime will collapse,” he said. Khashan also says Iran has been trying to mend fences with the Gulf Arab states, perhaps as a prelude to a policy shift on Syria.  He notes that Iran s foreign minister met with the leader of Qatar last week to discuss developments in Syria. “The Iranians are trying to find alternatives and that s why the Iranians are trying also to mend fences with the countries of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). A few days ago, the Emir of Qatar visited Tehran and the visit had to do with the beginning of the careful shift of the Iranian position vis-a-vis Syria,” Khashan stated. Khashan says both Iran and neighboring Turkey are major regional power brokers, and that each country is working to change its policy toward Syria, slowly.  He says it s impossible for them to change their policy 180 degrees overnight, but that "they are preparing for it.”

Tripoli badly torn by conflict

Posted:

The Libyan conflict has taken its toll on the capital city, while Tripoli endured heavy fighting and frequent NATO bombardments over the past months. The rebel fighters now have full control of the capital, with Gaddafi s image banished for good. Life is tough for the city s people, many of whom are still searching for relatives who went missing in the fighting. At Brigade 32 in Salahadin, the proud eagle is still sitting over the gate, but Gaddafi s crack troops are gone. Down a dusty dirt road in Abu Salim District lies a makeshift mass grave. There are 17 bodies, some local residents who are not affiliated to either side. While asked about the corpses left in the dirt, a rebel said they are the work of the retreating Gaddafi troops. However, nobody understood what he meant. Its pointlessness seemed to add to the grief. And with all Gaddafi s forces banished from the Libyan capital, curious locals crowded into the former leader s palace that had been forbidden for so long. The rooms were destroyed by the fight, while the walls were daubed with graffiti. A rebel fighter said that the Libyan people had reclaimed this house as their own, because its former owner scuttled away like a rat. In the courtyard the fighters loose of rounds, but the gunfire now is the sound of victory, in a city that is looking forward to peace.

Iran ready to continue talks with IAEA

Posted:

Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Director Fereydoun Abbasi has said that Tehran is ready to continue talks on the issues or questions raised recently by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) about Iran’s nuclear programme if the agency takes a serious step to resolve dispute over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear issue. “We have asked them to submit a number of their claims and provide supporting evidence and documentation so that we examine the matter,” Abbasi said.  He insisted Iran will address new questions on the condition that the IAEA takes a serious step and shows it has the authority to resolve the issue. He added, “The IAEA should change the language of its reports on Iran because the Islamic Republic sees this language as unacceptable.” Moreover, Abbasi said Iran will only examine a limited number of questions about its nuclear programme. “During our negotiations with IAEA officials, we made it clear that if talks are to be held on this issue, there should be a limit on their claims… because if new claims are put forward, certain member countries, which are opposed to our peaceful nuclear activities, will find an opportunity to raise news issues and fabricate new documents,” the nuclear chief explained.

Libyan rebels say Gaddafis son Khamis dead

IHK literary festival off over fear of violence

Posted:

The festival was to be staged September 24-26 in Srinagar, Kashmir s main city, but organisers said Monday that it had been called off after some local and Indian authors and filmmakers wrote an open letter in protest. "Holding such a festival would dovetail with the state s concerted attempt to portray that all is normal in Kashmir," read the letter, signed among others by leading Kashmiri writers Basharat Peer and Mirza Waheed. Opponents have set up a Facebook page to argue against the festival, saying there is no freedom of speech in Kashmir. Anti-India sentiments run high in the region, which has been wracked by a deadly insurgency against New Delhi s rule since 1989. Cancelling the event, organisers said that many participants "have voiced their concerns about possible violence during the festival due to the heightened nature of the debate, and a call for protest at the venues". "We neither have the desire to be responsible for yet more unrest in the valley nor to propagate mindless violence in the name of free speech," a statement said. "We are therefore left with little alternative but to cancel the festival for now." Those arranging the literary festival are also responsible for a similar event held each January in India s "pink city" of Jaipur. The Jaipur festival this year gave pride of place to Indian Kashmir, whose literature has been marked by more than two decades of rebel violence. Muslim-majority Kashmir has a rich literary tradition dating back to the 14th century, but few outsiders are familiar with works from the region because much of it has never been translated. But an increasing number of Kashmiri books are now appearing in English as interest grows. Organisers made it clear that they had not invited Salman Rushdie, as was reported in some media.

4 killed in Muslims, Christians clashes in Nigeria

Posted:

Clashes broke out between Christians and Muslims in tense central Nigeria on Monday, with witnesses reporting four deaths while several vehicles and at least two shops set ablaze. "There are casualties, but the police will give that later," said Yiljap Abraham, information commissioner for Plateau state, without specifying if anybody was killed. Plateau state Police Commissioner Emmanuel Dipo Ayeni confirmed there had been some fighting. "There were some skirmishes among the worshippers ... The matter has been put under control," he said. Witnesses and local religious figures claimed varying numbers of deaths, but police could not immediately confirm them. Musa Shuaibu, chairman of the local chapter of Jama atu Nasril Islam, an umbrella body for Nigerian Muslims, said "so far we have recovered three dead bodies and our search teams are still looking for more dead and injured." Witnesses said that a group of Muslims had gone to a prayer ground in the city of Jos, the capital of Plateau state, to mark the end of Ramazan when they were surrounded by residents of the Christian-dominated neighbourhood. The residents would not allow them to leave and violence resulted, with motorcycles and cars burnt. Gunshots could be heard, possibly from soldiers firing into the air in a bid to clear the crowds. A witness said Christians involved in the clashes spoke of preventing Muslims from marking their holiday in revenge for a string of bombs that exploded in Jos on Christmas Eve last year. Soldiers evacuated the Muslims who had gone to pray from the area. Jos and the surrounding area has been hit by waves of violence between Christian and Muslim ethnic groups that have left hundreds dead in recent years.

Syrian forces kill 6 as Russian envoy visits

Posted:

Syrian security forces killed six people, activists said as a Russian envoy visited Damascus and the EU moved to ban oil imports from the country over its brutal crackdown on protesters. A child was among five people killed when troops and security forces opened fire during search operations in the Sarmin district of northwestern Idlib province, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. One person died when part of his home was levelled as forces raked houses in Sarmin with heavy machine-gun fire, said the head of the Britain-based Observatory, Rami Abdel Rahman. At least 60 people were also wounded in Sarmin and six houses were partly destroyed, he said. A sixth person was killed when security forces raided his home at dawn in the town of Qara outside Damascus during an arrest operation, the Local Coordination Committees reported. Around 10 trucks and armoured vehicles rumbled into Qara, said the group which organises anti-regime protests and has militants on the ground across Syria. It said about 40 people whose names were on a "wanted list" were detained. Meanwhile, troops backed by tanks and personnel carriers early on Monday stormed the village of Hit, two kilometres (1.2 miles) from the border with Lebanon, south of the central city of Homs, Abdel Rahman said. Witnesses across the border said dozens of Syrian refugees poured into northern Lebanon on Monday as gunfire was heard and smoke billowed over the frontier. The latest bloodshed came as a senior Russian envoy said after talks in Damascus on Monday that there was no change in Moscow s policy on Syria which has been opposed to Western calls for sanctions, Syrian state media said. "Russia s position on Syria is unchanged," deputy foreign minister Mikhail Bogdanov was quoted as saying. "The envoy affirmed his country s support for the reforms launched by Syria in the political and economic fields and expressed hope that its security and stability would be maintained," the agency added. The Russian envoy, who held talks with both President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, underlined the "importance of continued coordination between the two countries in all fields." Moscow staunchly opposes attempts by Western governments to push through a UN Security Council resolution targeting Assad, and has circulated an alternative draft urging Syria to expedite reforms. Britain, France, Germany, Portugal and the United States drew up their draft resolution last week but Russia and China have refused to attend informal talks on the document. The European Union reached an agreement in principle to ban oil imports from Syria to punish the regime for its crackdown on protesters, diplomats said.

26 militants, 10 soldiers killed in Yemen fighting

Posted:

Yemen military officials said Monday, the latest battle left 10 soldiers and 26 militants dead in a government campaign to retake territory from al-Qaida-linked fighters, . Another 38 militants and about 30 soldiers were wounded in the clashes that took place near the city of Dufas in the southern province of Abyan, they said. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with military regulations, said the fighting took place over the past 24 hours. Among the military dead was a colonel. The US and other Western powers have looked on with concern as al-Qaida gains a strong foothold in southern Yemen. The US considers the Yemen spur of al-Qaida as one of the most active in worldwide terror. The "Christmas bomber" who tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear on a plane as it landed in Detroit in December 2009 was said to have been trained in Yemen. Yemen has been wracked by internal conflict for months over popular protests demanding the resignation of longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The al-Qaida militants have taken advantage of that to take control of several towns and districts in the southern part of the country. Saleh is still in Saudi Arabia, recovering from severe wounds suffered in a June attack on his palace but refusing to resign despite heavy international pressure, leaving the nation in political limbo. Even so, the Yemeni military has stepped up its attacks against the Islamist militants in recent weeks, killing dozens. The largest battle over the past day erupted when militants intercepted government troops advancing on Dufas, with dozens of casualties on both sides. Dufas is just west of Abyan s provincial capital of Zinjibar, where militants have driven out tens of thousands of residents. They have taken refuge in nearby cities. Officials said warplanes attacked militant bases late Monday afternoon in areas around Zinjibar. Also, military officials said army units were advancing toward militant positions in al-Mutalaa, eight miles (13 kilometres) from Zinjibar. Mohammed Nasser, a resident of al-Code, a town near Zinjibar, said the military was bombing the area heavily, setting fire to militants  vehicles and equipment.
