CNN September 16, 2006 HAT YAI, Thailand -- Six bombs exploded, one every five minutes, in a southern Thailand city, killing at least four people and wounding 30 on Saturday, police said.
The evening attacks in Hat Yai came just hours after a government-sponsored peace rally in the nearby town of Yala and on the 21st anniversary of the founding of the GMIP -- Gerakan Mujahideen Islami Pattani -- separatist movement. The six bombs were placed about every 500 yards along the main commercial street, police said. The targets included an Odeon department store, a marketplace and the Lee Garden Hotel, police said. The explosives were hidden in motorbikes and a tuk tuk -- a tricycle taxi -- and were apparently triggered remotely by cell phones, police said. Chaos followed in the streets of Hat Yai, which is normally free of the separatist violence that has plagued some of Thailand's southern provinces. |

IPS 13 Sept 06 MEXICO CITY, - The complicity in Mexico between child sex rings and the political and business elites "goes beyond what we can even imagine," says activist Lydia Cacho, who faces death threats and was even thrown briefly into prison for revealing those ties in a book.
"What we have just seen is only the tip of the iceberg," Cacho told IPS, after the local media aired Tuesday recordings of telephone conversations between two prominent politicians and a hotel owner now in prison, and a wealthy local businessman. Comment: It's not just Mexico, it's everwhere including the United States, UK and Europe.

16/09/2006 If you have a passport, now is the time to renew it -- even if it's not set to expire anytime soon. If you don't have a passport and think you might need one, now is the time to get it. In many countries, including the United States, passports will soon be equipped with RFID chips. And you don't want one of these chips in your passport.
