USA take action against Muslim Scientist DR.Aafia

USA does not want that Muslims countries give any progress they want to keep Muslims in darkness. In case of Dr.Aafia same action tool palce by Amiran FBI. Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a highly educated researcher who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, for about 10 years and did her PhD in genetics, mysteriously disappeared from Karachi in March 2003 along with her three children. Since then, US and Pakistani officials have continuously denied any knowledge about her.USA is a terrorist state and want these type of act to show that how much gready they are and what to crush Muslims in every aspects.
It was only after British prisoner Moazzam Begg mentioned her in his book The Enemy Combatant that Human Rights Organizations and activists, British journalist Yvonne Ridley and MP Lord Nazir in particular, raised voice for Dr. Aafia kept in solitary confinement and her three children. A specially disturbing part of this story is that fate of her three children, aged between one month and 7 years at the time of her kidnapping, is still unknown.
In 2007, the media started giving Dr. Aafia’s case more serious attention and several reports were published about her tragic fate. Amnesty International included her on a June 2007 list as someone for whom there was “evidence of secret detention by the United States and whose fate and whereabouts remain unknown.”
Britain’s Lord Nazir Ahmed, (of the House of Lords), asked questions in the House about the condition of Prisoner 650. According to one news story, “He [Lord Nazir] said she is physically tortured and continuously raped by the officers at the prison.” Lord Nazir has also submitted that Prisoner 650 has no separate toilet facilities and has to attend to her bathing and movements in full view of the other prisoners.
And it was on July 6, 2008, when a British journalist, Yvonne Ridley, called for help for a Pakistani woman she believes has been held in isolation by the Americans in their Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, for over four years. “I call her the ‘grey lady’ because she is almost a ghost, a spectre whose cries and screams continues to haunt those who heard her. This would never happen to a Western Woman,” Ms Ridley said at a press conference.
Ms Ridley, who came to Pakistan to appeal for help, said the case came to her attention when she read the book, The Enemy Combatant, by a former Guantanamo detainee, Moazzam Begg. After being seized in February 2002 in Islamabad, Mr. Begg was held in detention centres in Kandahar and Bagram for about a year before he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay. He recounted his experiences in the book after his release in 2005. Imran Khan, leader of Justice Party (PTI) has also been raising voice, held a joint press conference with Ms. Ridley on this issue, and criticised government of Pakistan for not doing anything and hiding facts about Prisoner 650.
After these reports in media, the US and Pakistani authorities were forced to admit just last week that Dr. Aafia was indeed in US captivity, the Prisoner 650 at Bagram Base.
CNN has released the official version of US Government today and according to Dr. Aafia’s attorney, Elaine Whitfield Sharp, “a lot of the allegations implausible” and argued that the charges “don’t pass the sniff test.” According to CNN:
A Pakistani scientist accused of shooting at U.S. officers while in Afghan custody last month was due to appear before a U.S. magistrate judge Tuesday morning in New York.

Kelly Clarkson hidden pics

Kelly Clarkson went marching for babies at a charity event in Nashville Sunday.
A number of celebrities took part including Nicole Kidman, but some looked better than others. Clarkson looked…well…bloated. No, I’m not talking about her weight gain, but her face, which without makeup is surprisingly normal…well, normal in the sense of someone who doesn’t take a lot of care with their looks.

Pakistan Ship Hijacked by Somali Pirates

Bangladesh’s opposition leader Khaleda Zia has strongly opposed the setting up of a South Asian task force to combat terrorism, alleging that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was using it as a guise to bring foreign troops into the country. “There is no militancy in Bangladesh,” Zia asserted at the May Day rally here, claiming that her government (2001-06) had successfully eliminated it. “All militants were brought under trial. We arrested all militants during our rule and punished them. But the government is now creating panic using the name of militancy,” The Daily Star quoted her as saying Sunday. “They see militants everywhere, even in the armed forces. Such militancy bogey has caused fears in and about the country.

New investments have slowed down… They are making ways for foreign troops into Bangladesh in the guise of a task force,” New Age newspaper reported her as saying. Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League had made a poll promise regarding tackling terrorism and it had been followed up, among others, with neighbour India and the US. The task force proposal was high on the agenda of Bangladesh-India talks during the brief visit of Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee in February. This was preceded by visits of top US officials who have endorsed the idea. Dhaka has since made moves to reach out to other South Asian nations, bilaterally and under the aegis of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) where combating terrorism is a continuing issue on the agenda. Pakistan has been cold to the idea, media reports have said, seeing it more as an India-US ploy to include Bangladesh in a South Asian effort to embarrass Islamabad. Violence by Islamist militants during and after the 2001 poll in Bangladesh, which coincided with the 9/11 terror attack in the US, is the subject matter of an inquiry instituted by the Hasina Government.

US President Barack Obama’s grandmother perform Haj

US President Barack Obama's grandmother has accepted an invitation
from United Arab Emirates (UAE) property tycoon Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim
to perform Haj this year, according to a report.

"I found out that she had not been to the Haj and that she very much
wants to go."

"As my own mother is no longer with us, our family has a spare place.
So I invited her and she has accepted," the Hydra Properties chief
executive officer was quoted as saying by Arabian Business.

"I'm very much looking forward to it," said Dr Al Fahim, who the
business news provider reported, met Mama Sarah during a trip to Kenya
last week.

Having been appointed a goodwill ambassador in support of the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals, he was touring Kenya to launch
an anti-malnutrition campaign in the region.

"It's something I'm going to be doing a lot more of," he said,
acknowledging that he was very fortunate with his own career and
business.

"And I feel it's time to give something back and try and do something
for those less fortunate," Dr Al Fahim said in the report.

He also said plans were afoot to establish a soccer training camp for
underprivileged children in Africa.

Educated in New York, Dr Al Fahim has been described as the new-age
Arab businessman but one who is still firmly rooted to the ethos of
his home country.

Besides the UAE, Hydra Properties is involved in projects in Mexico,
Libya and Pakistan, according to the company's website.
