Uproar over India mosque report

Image
The findings of an inquiry into the controversial destruction of a mosque by Hindu mobs that triggered bloody religious riots in the early 1990s has been tabled in the Indian parliament amid noisy disruptions from opposition members. The cabinet approved the report in an emergency meeting earlier on Tuesday morning, India's NDTV reported, a day after the so-called Liberhan report was apparently leaked to a national newspaper. The story, which appeared in the  Indian Express  newspaper, alleged the report "indicted" leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), prompting angry scenes by party members in parliament on Monday and causing the house to adjourn. P Chidambaram, the interior minister, tabled the 900-page report in both houses of parliament - Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha - amid unruly scenes. Leaders indicted The report indicts 68 people for the demolition of the mosque - mostly leaders from the BJP and a few bureaucrats. Among those named are AB Vajpayee,

Palestinians hurt in Gaza raid

Image
At least seven Palestinians have been injured in a round of Israeli air raids on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian witnesses said. Witnesses told Al Jazeera that the first strike hit a metal workshop in the al-Tufah district of Gaza city early on Sunday, while the second struck a workshop in al-Burij in central Gaza. The Israeli army confirmed the strikes and said it was targeting two factories used to make weapons, as well as a smuggling tunnel under the border with Egypt. Dozens of tunnels are said to criss-cross between southern Gaza and Egypt's Sinai desert, providing a lifeline to Gaza residents who are starved of basic supplies due to Israel's blockade of the territory. Sources say there are more than 6,000 Palestinians employed in the clandestine industry. Gaza rocket fire An Israeli army spokesman said the strikes were in response to a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip on Saturday. The rocket landed near the southern Israeli city of Sderot, causing no damage or casu

Global temperatures 'could rise 6C'

Image
Scientists have warned that global temperatures could rise by six degrees Celsius by the end of the century, four degrees higher than previously predicted and at a level that could wipe out species and cause widespread natural disasters. In addition, the study by the Global Carbon Project (GCP) said on Wednesday, that the ability of the world's forests and oceans to absorb carbon emissions was declining. The paper, published in the journal  Nature Geoscience , comes in the run up to UN talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, aimed at crafting a pact to combat climate change from 2013. It said pollution "continued to track the average of the most carbon-intensive family of scenarios" put forward by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Extreme scenario Professor Corinne Le Quéré, the lead author of the study from the British Antarctic Survey, said: "The projections of climate that have been made before are always based on scenarios of climate

Breaking news!!! Sri Lankan defence chief 'resigns'

Image
Sri Lanka's most senior general, Sarath Fonseka, the architect of the army's victory over Tamil Tigers, has quit, according to a military source. Fonseka, who is widely expected to challenge Mahinda Rajapakse, the Sri Lankan president, in elections next year, submitted his resignation as chief of defence staff after a ceremony welcoming Myanmar's junta leader at the airport, the source said on Thursday. "He gave his letter of resignation this afternoon and expects the government to ensure his security because he was the main figure responsible for crushing Tamil Tigers," the source close to him said. Fonseka, 58, the country's only four-star general, has been at loggerheads with the government in recent months after he was removed as army chief and made chief of defence staff, which has no command responsibilities. There was no immediate word from the government. Fonseka declared during a visit to the US last month that he was willing to shed his uniform and t

German convicted of Muslim murder

Image
A man who stabbed a pregnant Egyptian woman to death in a German courtroom in front of her husband and three-year-old son has been sentenced to the maximum penalty of life in jail. Alex Wiens, 28, stabbed Marwa el-Sherbini, who was wearing a hijab, at least 16 times on July 1, in the same courthouse in the eastern city of Dresden where the trial took place. The case of Wiens, who has admitted holding anti-Islamic and xenophobic views, shocked Germany and incensed the Muslim world, sparking protests from Egypt to Iran. Prosecutors said the attack was motivated by "a pronounced hatred of non-Europeans and Muslims". Husband shot Elwy Ali Okaz, el-Sherbini's husband, who was stabbed as he tried to protect his wife during the attack, was then shot in the leg by police who apparently took him for the attacker. Egyptian media quickly dubbed el-Sherbini a martyr and there were huge protests against the murder in several Muslim countries. El-Sherbini and the defendant met in Augu

Floods ravage storm-hit El Salvador

At least 124 people have been killed by floods and mudslides in El Salvador after the central American nation was battered by Hurricane Ida. Humberto Centeno, the country's interior minister, said on Monday that the toll was likely to rise since dozens of people were still missing. "There are 60 people missing in just the province of San Vicente ... we have been through disaster zones, including a fly-over of Verapaz [in San Vicente], it is a real tragedy there." The capital city San Salvador was hit hardest, with 61 people reported dead after mudslides buried homes, according to the Red Cross. A spokesman for the aid agency, Carlos López Mendoza, said most of the victims were buried by mudslides or swept away by raging rivers. And Ernesto Zelayandia, the deputy interior minister said a river in Verapaz had overflowed its banks and swamped 300 homes. Marcela Mayen, a journalist with Channel 6 El Salvador, told Al Jazeera: "The problem here is that there are many rive

Deaths in US army base shooting

A mass shooting at the largest army base in the US has left 13 people dead and at least 28 wounded, military officials say. The incident took place inside the Fort Hood military base in Texas as soldiers were awaiting medical and dental treatment at a processing centre for troops being deployed on missions to Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant-General Bob Cone, the base's commanding officer, said the shooting took place at about 1:30pm local time (1930 GMT) on Thursday at a Soldier Readiness Facility. The suspect has been named as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a 39-year-old army psychiatrist. "There was a single shooter that was shot multiple times at the scene. He was not killed as previously reported. He is currently in custody and in stable condition," Cone said. Hasan was born in the US to Muslim Palestinian parents who had emigrated from a small town near Jerusalem, US media said. 'Quick reaction' Further bloodshed was narrowly prevented when Hasan was
