U.S. charges Pakistani Taliban leader in CIA attack

Domestic
Thursday, 02 September 2010 18:31
The U.S. government Wednesday designated the Pakistani Taliban a terrorist group and charged its leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, with involvement in a December suicide bombing that killed seven Americans at a CIA base in Afghanistan. The new moves by the State and Justice departments marked an effort to expand the campaign against the Taliban beyond CIA drone strikes and other lethal means. While the Pakistani Taliban continues to attack government and civilian targets in Pakistan, it now includes operations against the US. In addition to staging the attack on the CIA operating base, the group claimed responsibility for equipping and training the Pakistani-born suspect in the attempted Times Square bombing. The State Department designation allows the U.S. to pursue financial sanctions against organizations with ties to the Pakistani Taliban. The department is also offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of Mehsud or his second-in-command.

Israel ready to cede parts of Jerusalem in peace deal

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday Israel is ready to cede parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians as part of a peace deal. Barak said partition in Jerusalem, at the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, would include a "special regime" for managing the city's holiest sites. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House Wednesday for their first face-to-face negotiations, has publicly balked at dividing the city. Barak, who helped lay the groundwork for the U.S.-sponsored summit said: "West Jerusalem and 12 Jewish neighborhoods that are home to 200,000 residents will be ours. The Arab neighborhoods in which close to a quarter million Palestinians live, will be theirs." Israel captured the eastern part of the city from Jordan in the Six Day War in 1967. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a state they hope to set up in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Lawyers for the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Detainees said Tuesday young prisoners held at Israel’s Megiddo Prison have testified under oath they have been interrogated and systematically tortured by Israeli Shin Bet intelligence officers. Salim Redouane said during questioning by Shin Bet, his head was repeatedly hit against the prison room wall in an effort to get him to confess. Another detainee, Mohamed Ali Radwan, said he was hit in the back with a rifle butt and kicked repeatedly in the stomach and on his back. Yahya Ali Abdel-Hafez was beaten in the face several times and repeatedly electrocuted. Yahya eventually signed a statement to avoid further torture. Abdul Hamid Abdul Latif Sa'id Abu Haniyeh, also interrogated by Shin Bet, was beaten severely before being hit by a large jolt of electricity. Terrified, Abdul Hamid who thought he’d be imprisoned at Megiddo prison along with his brothers, signed a confession.
