Mumbai, India's financial capital has become more united against terrorism since 26/11 (the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai), in which 183 people lost their lives and hundreds more were critically wounded. Such terror attacks have also occurred in the past during festival season, and though the main objective of these acts of terror is to disturb peace during the festivals, the festivities of different religions continue in full swing.

Recently, Hindus organized their religious festival Ganesh Pooja with full devotion, while Muslims were busy in their pious month of Ramadan. Preparations are being made to celebrate the famous festivals of Dusshehra, the Durga Pooja and the Eid-Ul-Fitr.

In a 12-minute address on audiotape, al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden spoke to the American people on the 8th anniversary of 9/11. The tape was produced by the as-Sahab propaganda arm of the terror group and posted on various jihadist forums last night.

His address (assuming it is his voice on the tape), directed "to the American people," asserted that the main reason for the al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, was U.S. support for Israel as well as "some other injustices."

Note that in this speech he did not mention the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia or Chechnya; he targeted only U.S.-Isr ... Read more »

Picture this. A few people are gathered around a food stand in the Palestinian city of Tul Karem waiting to be served. One of them turns around as he is called by name. The minute he does so, confirming his identity, two men standing on each side tie his hands and distance him from the crowd, shoving him into a nearby car. The capture takes less than a minute, and they leave with the wanted person as quickly as possible.

This scene could easily be taken from a typical action movie; however, this is a standard mission operated by "Duvdevan" (cherry in Hebrew), an elite I.D.F. unit. The person taken is a "bad guy" with either Israeli or Palestinian blood on his hands and, once captured, will be interrogated by Israeli security services.

"Many people who served in this unit like to brag about the number of terrorists they have killed, but most of them usually do not tell the t ... Read more »

People raising the sign “No to the Evenka Dam” at a public hearing in Tura in the Krasnoyarsk region. They stalled the dam by declaring the hearing null.

TURA, Krasnoyarsk Region — RusHydro, the state electricity firm reeling after a deadly dam disaster last month, suffered a new blow Tuesday when an ambitious plan to construct a new giant hydropower plant on the Lower Tunguska River stalled amid public protests.

After listening to RusHydro officials present their plans for the Evenkia dam and answer questions for five hours, residents of the town of Tura took the unprecedented step of declaring the public hearing null, citing incomprehensive materials that pointed to lack of research by RusHydro and inadequate evidence of the project’s safety for the environment.

Local officials said Tuesday that they would not sign the procedural documents that are nec ... Read more »
