Iran parliament warns against foreign pressure
Tehran—Iranian lawmakers warned the U.S. and
other world powers on Tues-day against further
pressures over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program
just days ahead of a key international meeting.
On Thursday the permanent members of the U.N.
Security Council, as well as Ger-many, will meet
with Iran in Geneva over the direction of its
nuclear program, especially in the wake of the
announcement of a previously unknown uranium en-richment
facility. |

Troops kill 128 in
Guinea: Opposition
Conakry—Guinea junta troops shot and killed at
least 128 people and raped women when they broke
up a huge demonstration, opposition leaders said
Tuesday amid deadly new unrest. Soldiers shot
dead a youth in Conakry on Tuesday and gunfire
rang out across the capital, witnesses said.
Soldiers were again attacking people and raping
women in their homes, rights groups said. The
United Nations, African Union and European Union
all expressed alarm over the killings among tens
of thousands of people who attended the rally
against junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara. But
much of Conakry remained closed Tuesday, with
inhabitants stunned by the clampdown in the
September 28 stadium. |

Philippines death
toll rises to 246
Manila—Rescuers pulled more bodies from swollen
rivers and de-bris-strewn streets Tuesday,
pushing the toll from flooding in the northern
Philippines to more than 284 dead or missing,
while two new storms brewing in the Pacific
threatened to complicate relief efforts.
Authorities ordered extra police to be deployed
to prevent looting in communi-ties abandoned by
fleeing residents, as frustration rose among
those who have lost their homes or belongings.
Queues of bedraggled victims grew long at
hundreds of aid distribution centers as
floodwaters subsided further and more people
went in search of food, clean water, dry clothes
and shelter. |

Global protectionism
threatens ME trade
Comment
Dr. Samir Pradhan
THE most significant aspect of the current
slowdown in world trade is the syn-chronized
nature of the decline in exports and imports of
major developed and developing economies since
September 2008. Trade is one of the important
chan-nels spreading the contagion of the current
global economic recession. The coun-tries of the
Middle East in general and the six-member Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) in particular, which
are characteristically over-dependent on
interna-tional trade for their overall economic
growth and development, are therefore bound to
be affected. Importantly, the impact of the
global economic slowdown is clearly evident in
the trade of bulk commodities which has been hit
by plunging commodity prices and the crunch in
trade-financing. |
