London—A
fresh investigation could be held into the
Lockerbie bombing, The Sunday Telegraph
newspaper reported, citing an email from state
prosecutors to British victims of the attack.
Families have been told that a further review
was underway, with several potential lines of
inquiry being considered and efforts being made
to obtain fresh evidence.
Occupied
Jerusalem—Israeli forces stormed the most
sensitive holy shrine in Occupeid Jerusalem on
Sunday, firing water cannons and stun grenades
to disperse a crowd of Palestinian protesters
that had pelted forces with stones. Although
there were no serious injuries, it was one of
the most intense incidents of violence in recent
unrest around the hilltop compound known to Jews
as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Nobel
Sanctuary. In the past, clashes at the site have
erupted into deadly violence.
Srinagar (IHK)—In
occupied Kashmir, the Chairperson of Muslim
Khawateen Markaz Jammu and Kashmir Ms Yasmin
Raja has urged the United Nations to impress
upon India for resuming composite dialogue
process with Pakistan to settle the Kashmir
dispute according to the aspirations of
Kashmiris, reports KMS.
Kabul—President
Hamid Karzai’s team shifted aggressively into
campaign mode and ruled out any possibility of a
power-sharing deal with challenger Abdullah
Abdullah ahead of a runoff election in two
weeks. In our view there is no alternative to a
second round. This is the only constitutional
way to establish a new government” and “put an
end to the current crisis,” said Karzai’s
campaign spokesman, Wahid Omar, at a news
conference. “All our energy is now focused on
preparations for the second round.”
WEST Virginia Senator Robert Byrd refers to
himself as “a student of history.” In fact, he
is history. The longest serving senator in the
history of the legislative branch of the federal
government, the former majority leader of the
chamber, the constitutional scholar who several
presidents (Democrats and Republicans)
considered as a potential Supreme Court nominee,
the long-ago southern stalwart who reconstructed
himself as a supporter of civil rights and an
early backer of Barack Obama’s presidential
campaign, he is an epic figure who speaks with
an authority steeped in the wisdom gained from
having personally experienced what others know
only from books.
