1. He gets around, from town to town.

Here’s the Qana “rescue worker” in the green helmet, photographed extensively in Qana by Adnan Hajj for Reuters, now in Tyre, doing what he does best: making sure wire service photographers get close-up pictures of dead bodies.

2. BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) — Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Monday that one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the southern village of Houla, not 40 as he had earlier reported.

“The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one person killed,” Reuters quoted Siniora as saying. “They thought that the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people ... thank God they have been saved.”

Siniora had earlier told Arab foreign ministers in Beirut that the attack “was a horrific massacre ... in which more than 40 martyrs were victims of deliberate bombing.”

3.

LONDON, Aug 7 (Reuters) – Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer ( Adnan Hajj ) from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the armed group Hizbollah.

From the article

“Hargude’s investigation seems to reveal the same sort of homegrown terrorism London discovered when its transport system was bombed by militants in July 2005.”

One difference though. No white people were killed.

jilted can you give me an e-mail addy that i can share some of this info with privately

I’d like to get the info from you but I am very uncomfortable leaving my email id on this supposedly non-partisan website which makes an exception to list the following non-desi event on its strictly desi-only events page. I had actually put up a link to a groundbreaking piece of news when the Middle East debate was hot on this thread, only to see it disappear momentarily. Of course the bit about UN’s Jan Egeland bluntly accusing Hezbollah of causing civilian casualties was not a Desi issue. The same hawk eyed intern/blogger has kept the following event going for the last four days. And yes I brought their attention to this twice. Now of course I’ll be branded an inhumane guy. What’s your problem? They’ll ask. Well it might be a worthy cause but……. You get the point. non-desi-related submissions will be deleted

Another point, this in reference to comment # 12:

The commentor says, and rightly, that I fail to understand why you would put them both in the same category. These shouldn’t be put in the same category, for the simple reason that what happened in Gujarat happened with the complicity, if not the support, of the state government. Also, the victims were not chosen at random, their pain and anguish was not dependant upon their physical location [as is the case with terrorism sponsored by non-state actors], but were carefully and deliberately targetted over an entire state. Not only was there no one they could turn to for help, their terror wasn’t the matter of a single day, or a single morning/evening. Nope, they were targetting for weeks upon weeks. Definitely not the same thing as one terrorist attack, no matter how big.

Here is an article from the South Asia Terrorism Portal with more detail about their modus operandi. http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/sair/Archives/3_52.htm#ASSESSMENT1

Of course not! Spying on a country that you are a citizen of is out of the question, and America is not what i have in mind as i’m all for better relations between both countries. I’m talking about the nations in the east that have hampered India’s efforts to nab the masterminds of its terror suspects.

too was being curious and wanted to read a couple of examples
