New Delhi April 04,2012-Syed Mohammed Ahmad Kazmi, arrested for his alleged role in the February 13 bomb attack at an Israeli diplomat’s car here, was today denied bail by a Delhi court.Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Vinod Yadav dismissed Kazmi’s bail plea saying there was no substance in his bail plea. “I have gone through the case diaries brought to the court by the special team of Delhi police… I have not found any substance in the defence arguments,” the CMM said.Arguing for bail, Kazmi’s counsel Gajinder Kumar had said his client should not be pushed to a point of committing suicide. He had added Kazmi’s incarceration is the punishment for a crime he did not commit. Kazmi had sought bail saying the probe against him has been completed as due to its completion, he had been sent to the judicial custody on March 24, mid-way his tenure for the police custody till March 27.He had earlier alleged that the police was harassing him in custody to pressurise him to “confess to a crime he never committed” and that “foreign agencies like Mossad were also interrogating him.”The court had then asked the Special Cell not to permit other investigating agencies to interrogate him but had imposed no bar on sharing information with other agencies. Kazmi, who claims to have been writing for an Iranian publication, was picked up by the Special Cell of Delhi Police after the probe showed he had been in touch with a suspect who is believed to have stuck the magnetic bomb on Israeli diplomat Tal Yehoshua’s car on February 13.Yehoshua and an Indian driver of the Embassy vehicle were among the four people injured in the blast.
Korean Americans Look Inward After Oakland Shooting
Sanfrancisco( New America Media, News Report, Aruna Lee,)April 04,2012- The shooting that killed seven at a private Christian university in Oakland would never have happened in Korea, where owning a firearm is outlawed. That at least is the assessment of community members who point to America’s own thriving gun culture as a causal factor in this and other incidents. “Gun possession is a major factor in the deadly shootings,” said Nam Paik, pastor of the Northern California Deaf Church based in Fremont, Calif. “Sometimes frustration and anger can boil over into direct and violent action through the use of firearms.” The shooting, the Bay Area’s worst mass murder in nearly two decades, occurred Monday morning at Oikos University, in a business park between Interstate 880 and Oakland International Airport. Another three were injured in the slaughter, according to police.The shooter has been identified as 43-year-old naturalized Korean American One (Won) Goh, a former nursing student at the school. A report in the SF Chronicle notes that Goh may have been involved in a dispute with campus officials. He was apprehended an hour-and-a-half later in Alameda, after having fled in a victim’s car. “Life as an immigrant in this country can be very isolating and lonely,” explained Paik. “Also, the violence in American culture… with high rates of gun possession and an entertainment industry that glorifies violence can definitely influence people.

London, 03 April 2012-: A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq ~ starting a nine-year war costing more than 1,00,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds ~ will come clean in his first ever British television interview tomorrow.’Curveball’, the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, smiled as he confirmed how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi’s lies used to justify the Iraq war.He tried to defend his actions: “My main purpose was to topple the tyrant in Iraq because the longer this dictator remains in power, the more the Iraqi people will suffer from this regime’s oppression.”The chemical engineer claimed to have overseen the building of a mobile biological laboratory when he sought political asylum in Germany in 1999. His lies were presented as ‘facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence’ by Mr Colin Powell, US Secretary of State, when making the case for war at the UN Security Council in February 2003.
But Mr Janabi, speaking in a two-part series, Modern Spies, starting tomorrow on BBC2, says none of it was true. When it is put to him ‘we went to war in Iraq on a lie. And that lie was your lie’, he simply replies: Read More..
