Khaleej Times Online 26 September 2006 NEW YORK - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf called on Monday for the world to urgently address the Palestinian issue, saying it lay at the root of all conflicts between the West and the Muslim world.
Addressing the Council on Foreign Relations, a New York think tank, Musharraf said ongoing strife in the Middle East and in Pakistan's neighbour Afghanistan was inextricably linked to the fate of the Palestinian people. |

September 23, 2006 President Musharraf's revelation that the United States had threatened to "bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age" makes official what many already knew. And the American arrogance continues, with President Bush declaring that if U.S. intelligence was sure that Osama bin Laden or other terrorist leaders were hiding here, the White House would unilaterally order military action inside Pakistan to take them out. The implication is that the U.S. would feel no need to either inform the Government of Pakistan, or seek its permission. This latest reflection of U.S. arrogance came during Bush's interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

25 Sept 06 Beirut - Israeli forces continuing occupying a fifth of the Lebanese territory they reoccupied weeks ago, even though Tel Aviv assured it would pull out last weekend.
Military sources announced the evacuation will wind up next weekend due to last-minute problems. The announcement followed a demonstration convoked by the Hezbollah militia in southern Beirut to celebrate what they called God s victory over their aggressors. The evacuation appears in the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. In August, Tel Aviv launched a brutal offensive to ostensibly rescue two of its soldiers captured by the Islamic guerrilla fighters |

Associated Press September 25, 2006 NEW YORK - The government has rejected a prominent Muslim scholar's application to enter the country, contending that he gave support to a terrorist group, but his attorneys allege the U.S. is using charitable donations he made as a pretext for stifling his views.
Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss citizen who teaches at Oxford University, was denied a temporary business and tourism visa Thursday "based solely on his actions, which constituted providing material support to a terrorist organization," said Janelle Hironimus, a State Department spokeswoman. |

25/09/2006 Irish academics have called on the European Union in an open letter to impose a moratorium financial support to Israeli academic institutions until Israel ends the occupation in the Palestinian territories.
The call for the boycott, published last week in the Irish Times daily, came since according to its organizers "The Israeli government appears impervious to moral appeals from world leaders and to longstanding United Nations resolutions." The letter was signed by 61 Irish academics. |
