European powers seek Security Council of the United Nations to condemn the Syria (Reuters)

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - European nations moved Wednesday to have the Security Council of the United Nations to adopt a resolution condemning the Syria for its bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators, said diplomats.

Britain, France, Germany and the Portugal distributed a draft resolution to the Council of the nation 15 despite the risk of a right of veto by the Russia.

The draft, obtained by Reuters, "condemned the systematic human rights violations, including killings, arbitrary detentions, disappearances and the torture of peaceful protesters, human rights defenders and journalists by the Syrian authorities."

The text, which explains the Syrian actions may amount to crimes against humanity, also requires that Damascus to comply with an investigation of the United Nations Human Rights Council and launch its own "credible and impartial investigation" on violence against the demonstrators.

Contrary to the resolutions adopted this year on the Libya, the project does not sanctions United Nations, or of military intervention against the Syria. But it urged States not step to provide weapons to Damascus.

The text reached the members of the Council a day after security forces said Syrian human rights group killed at least 1,100 civilians in their two month campaign to crush anti-Government protests.

"The situation warrants action by the Security Council", said U.N. Ambassador Jose Filipe Moraes Cabral of the Portugal.

But he warned that it is not easy to get a resolution on the Syria through the Council of a possible Russian veto. "I do not underestimate the complex issues in approving this resolution," he told journalists.

UN diplomats said that a vote on the resolution was not likely before next week.

PREVENT A RIGHT OF VETO

If the Security Council remains silent it "would only embolden the Syrian leaders in the war that they lead to their own people," said Philippe Bolopion of Human Rights Watch. "A strong message of the Council is since a long time, and countries would oppose have much explaining to do."

A previous attempt to push the Council condemning the actions of the forces of security Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has failed after the Russia, the India and China are clearly indicated that they would oppose it.

The Europeans pushed for a declaration, but sent first said that a resolution would be easier to pass through a divided Council.

Statements require unanimous approval, while the resolutions need only nine votes Yes and no vetoes of five permanent members - the United States, Great Britain, the France, the Russia and China. Resolutions, contrary to the statements, are legally binding.

Cabral said he was confident of nine votes for the resolution, but avoiding a right of veto could be more difficult.

The American delegation was less enthusiastic about the European push for a resolution to condemn the Syria concerns, he may be blocked by the Russia, diplomats of the Nations United said.

American authorities clearly that would rather have no action of the Council a veto of the resolution, said sent. Washington fears such an outcome would send a signal to Assad that the international community is divided on the issue, that he could interpret as a green light to go up his repression.

Last week, President Dmitri Medvedev said that Russia would not support a resolution of the Council on the Syria - a long-time Moscow ally - if it was similar to a resolution of 17 March authorizing the military intervention in Libya.

It was not possible to locate the Prince for comment.

Nations United calls Europe to the stage of rescue at sea Libya

Geneva - the United Nations refugee agency appealed Tuesday to the European countries to do more to save the people fleeing the violence in Libya and dying by the hundreds in the boats overloaded which capsized in the Mediterranean Sea.

A spokesman for the High Commissioner to the United Nations for refugees, said European authorities patrolling the Mediterranean should not wait to receive calls of distress, stricken ship before offering assistance.

"Any vessel leaving the Libya must be considered, at first glance, like a ship in need of assistance," the spokeswoman, Melissa Fleming, told journalists in Geneva.

It seems now that hundreds of Libyans were killed at sea in recent weeks, and Fleming said that the boats will be only of incessant.

The Office of the United Nations said that, since March 25, when boats began to leave the Libya, at least 800 people are likely missing for - and this figure does not include those who died Friday when a boat believed that carrying 600 personswas capsized near Tripoli, the Libyan capital, killing most, if not most of the people on board.

Fleming said that a Somali diplomat in Tripoli told the agency that 16 bodies, including those of two babies had been retrieved so far.

And the number of migrants is increasing, she said. Five ships carrying 2,400 people arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa, the last few days and each of these vessels had to be rescued by the Italian coastguard and the police, she said.

Ferguson backs United to test of Barcelona

MANCHESTER, England- Sir Alex Ferguson insisted in Barcelona will not have all their own way when they meet on the side Manchester United in next month's Champions League final at Wembley Stadium.

While the two teams are about to win their respective national titles, it is Barcelona, which defeated the United States in the end of 2009, which are widely regarded as the pre-eminent club in Europe.

The Catalans boast of Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, two key side players to win the Spain last year's World Cup, while Lionel Messi is already hailed as one of the greatest football.

"Everyone has recognized the great how a team of Barcelona but Manchester United are in the final," Ferguson said the United States-based Sirius XM satellite radio station.

"Everyone said this is not a good team Manchester United, that we are not this or that.".

"But we marked more goals than anyone else.". Our home form has been magnificent. We are undefeated in Europe. We are in the final of the Champions League and we will win the League by getting a point more.

"Must be all criticism on one side, because I must be realistic when I look at my team and ask," am I happy? ' ".

"These players have given me everything."

But Ferguson has not denied the scale of the task to deal with United States in a jewel of European club football match.

"Obviously, Barcelona is the big one now," he said.

"In the final of the last time we started really well offshore, then gave a goal of the bad." After Barcelona kept the ball very well, as they do always.

"What we have to do, is find a solution to the problem of Xavi-Messi-Iniesta."

"It is an industry that sometimes baffles me."

"Here is a man who won the European Cup on two occasions, he won the Scudettos (Italian Championships). He did the double in England last year.

"Why is that questioned." Why is that it has become a problem? I do not well understand.

"But the rumour mill is there that he will leave." It's sad because it is exceptional.

"It is a great man, full of absolute dignity."

The United States helps Pakistan too?

In the wake of the operation carried out by the United States who killed Osama bin Laden, billions of dollars of taxpayers Americans in Pakistan are in danger that relations between the two countries produce sour.

Pakistan comes under fire for not being able to locate bin Laden, who, instead of hiding in the caves remote tribal areas Northwest conceived originally, was in fact live in an easy district in Abbottabadright near the Pakistan Military Academy.

U.S. administration officials say that they did not inform their Pakistani counterparts of the operation to hunt down and kill the bin Ladens until it has all the but, in fear that information may be disclosed in the wrong hands.

Pakistan responded by calling for American military personnel of the country to be cut to "minimum essential" levels, according to various reports.

Now, a chorus of lawmakers on Capitol Hill, call for the administration to reassess the billions of dollars in aid it provides to Pakistan, as they say how unnecessary that the Pakistani Government has been.

Between 2002 and 2010, the United States gave aid related to safety in Pakistan $ 13.3 billion and 6 billion in economic assistance. More than 3 billion was requested for 2011.

For the year of 2012, the administration of the Obama requested approximately $ 3 billion in aid for Pakistan abroad and $ 2.3 billion more to help efforts to combat terrorism in the country.

Pakistan began to receive substantial assistance to the United States in the 1980s, during the cold war, when the Soviet Union invaded the Afghanistan. It increased again after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and the American attack on the Taliban regime.

The money was not always received with good, however. A package to help non-military of 2009 which would give the Pakistan $ 1.5 billion per year for five years came under criticism in Pakistan, not only for the strings that were attached to it, but due to the increased attacks by drone by the United States in the country's tribal areas.

Relations U.S. - Pakistan have become increasingly unstable in recent years in questions about where the money goes and if Pakistan cooperates as it should. But experts say that the relationship this week is probably the worst since September 11, 2001.

Now, the death of Osama bin Laden has provoked a debate if Capitol Hill the United States can and should continue funding.

Many top lawmakers in Congress expressed their doubts about what - if anything - Pakistani officials knew about the presence of Osama bin Laden. In these two days, CIA Chief Leon Panetta said two members of the Congress of the flashes classified that Pakistan was "well informed or incompetent," according to the lawmakers who attended unexpected sessions.

"From a point of view of intelligence, we would like to know why this has not been discovered by the Pakistani authorities, more", said Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

A Senator - New Jersey Democrat Frank Lautenberg - went to say that aid us in Pakistan should be suspended until the Congress receives answers about how bin Laden went undetected by the authorities.

But the cut financial aid to Pakistan would come do not without serious risks. Experts say it could have serious consequences for the safety of the United States and the threat of terror.

"I think at the moment there is still a fairly high level of co-dependency between the United States and Pakistan," said Shuja Nawaz, Director of the Centre of South Asia to the Atlantic Council, who testified on Capitol Hill Tuesday. Rupture of relations "has consequences very serious, not only for the bilateral relationship, but for what is happening in the region."

"A sudden imposition of sanctions or a breakdown in the relationship will be very serious and lasting consequences", he said. "It will also feed the narrative of some extremist groups in Pakistan and perhaps even among moderates, and that the United States are in this for the short term.".

Several U.S. lawmakers expressed concerns similar, and being warned against any action until the issue of the residence of Osama bin Laden became more clear.

Islamists in Pakistan to protest against the bin Laden raid (Reuters) United States

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - most influential Islamist party urged his followers to organise demonstrations of mass Friday to demand their Government withdraws its support of the war on activism after commandos killed U.S. Osama bin Laden, near Islamabad.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), one of the greatest political parties religion of the country, said that in the United States had violated the sovereignty of key ally Pakistan by sending its own forces in the town of garrison of Abbottabad to kill the al-Qaeda Chief.

Pakistan's support is essential to U.S. efforts against Islamic militants and also in the fight against the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan to fight.

"Even if there was no sympathy for the Americans, which would be dissipated after the way they were crushed and violated our sovereignty and our independence,"JI leader Syed Munawar Hasan told Reuters on Thursday.""

"We called everyone to organize peaceful demonstrations Friday in very large scale," he said. "Our first demand is... Pakistan should withdraw from the war against terrorism."

Anti-Americanism runs high in Pakistan, despite the billions of dollars in aid for nuclear weapons, poor country. Religious parties of Pakistan did not traditionally well at the ballot box, but they exert considerable influence in a country where Islam is more radicalized.

The war of the United States against militancy is unpopular in Pakistan, because of the perception of the civil dead against the attacks of drone against the suspected militants along the Afghan border.

But many people also criticize radical interpretation of Islam al-Qaeda and suicide bombers that lead his disciples and analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi said that any protests are likely to be more anti-états-Unis than Laden favour.

"I do not think that they (religious parties) will draw big crowds in gatherings." These events will put unlikely any large pressure on the Government to change course, "he says.

For the moment there some public protests in Pakistan against bin Laden killing early Monday to Abbottabad, 50 km (31 miles) northeast of Islamabad. A more violent activist of Pakistan groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba, held special prayers for the Chief of al-Qaeda and called for his death "martyrdom."

The fact that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, after seemed y lived for several years, has embarrassed as many people in the Government and powerful country's spy agency.

"In Pakistan and its security apparatus became something of a laughing stock, with the media around the world highlighting the discovery of the man most wanted in the world to a military Academy in leading walking distance."," The News wrote in an editorial Thursday.

Some Pakistani saying that they were too concerned about the difficulties of living in a country with a troubled economy and chronic shortages of power to join with any type of events.

"There is no electricity, no gas, with the rise in inflation, making ends meet is difficult every day.".

"If our country was not mired with economic difficulties at this stage, perhaps us would require more answers from the Government or the United States, but now I no longer have big problems," said Sara Ahmed, an employee of the Government in the port of Karachi.

Clinton, explained to the United States will be maintained by Pakistan

ROME/ABBOTTABAD  - The United States said on Thursday it would stand by its ally Pakistan despite the strains in the relationship exposed by the discovery and killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. troops close to the Pakistani capital.

"It is not always an easy relationship, you know that," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on a visit to Rome.

"Purpose, on the other hand, it is a productive one for both our countries and we are going to continue to cooperate between our governments, our militaries, our law-enforcement agencies, but most importantly between the American and Pakistani people."

Some Americans, including many in Congress, have suggested that Washington attach more strings to the billions of dollars in aid it gives Pakistan, or even cut off Islamabad altogether.

Others say Washington needs Pakistan as a partner to fight al Qaeda and other Islamist militant, as well as to pursue the war in Afghanistan it launched 10 years ago in response to bin Laden's attack on New York and Washington on September 112001.

In the aftermath of bin Laden's death, Clinton said Washington and its allies must continue working with Pakistan to fight al Qaeda in that country and Afghanistan.

"38 INTENSE MINUTES"

Ahead of a meeting in Rome with European and Arab allies, Clinton defended the decision to kill bin Laden during Monday's raid on his home at Abbottabad, a garrison town near Islamabad.

U.S. accounts of what happened have changed throughout the week, and initial characterizations of a 40-minute gun battle have given way to officials being quoted as saying only one of the five people who were killed had been armed.

Some in Europe and the Muslim world reckless the failure to arrest bin Laden as a breach of international law and have warned that this, as well as the disposal of his body at sea in a move criticized by Islamic clericsPatty may a backlash.

Clinton said bin Laden had been a clear target for the United States for almost 10 years but his death did not end the battle against terrorism. But she refused to how it details of the special forces operation in which he was killed, which she watched unfolding on a live video transmission.

"Those were 38 of the most intense minutes," she said.

U.S. officials have sought to keep a lid on growing skepticism over Washington's version of events, insisting that bin Laden was killed during a firefight in the compound.

The White House has cited the "fog of war" as a reason for initial misinformation on whether bin Laden - who was shot in the head - was armed when U.S. Navy Seals stormed into his hideout from helicopters.

Citing U.S. officials, the U.S. television network NBC said four of the five people killed in the operation, including bin Laden himself, were unarmed and never fired a shot - an account that differs from the administration's original assertions that the commandos engaged in a prolonged firefight.

The New York Times quoted administration officials as saying the only shots fired by those in the compound came at the start of the raid, when bin Laden's courier fired from a guesthouse adjacent to the building where the al Qaeda leader was holed up.

PHOTOGRAPHS WITHHELD

U.S. President Barack Obama resisted pressure from aid to release photographs of bin Laden's body, saying the images could encourage violence and be used by activists as a propaganda tool.

"I think that, given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk," Obama told the CBS program "60 Minutes."

"There's no doubt that bin Laden is dead," Obama added. "And so we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference." "There are going be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this earth again."

Photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the assault show three dead men - not including bin Laden - lying in pools of blood. No. weapons can be seen in the closely cropped images.

The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who was in the compound after the raid, two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one show in a T-shirt, blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.

"I know for a fact that shots were exchanged during this operation," said one Pentagon official.

Attorney General Eric Holder, dismissing suggestions that killing the unarmed bin Laden was illegal, said the U.S. commandos who raided his hideout had acted in national self-defense.

U.S. Representative Adam Smith, speaking to reporters after a briefing by senior intelligence and defense officials, said the U.S. assault team had come under fire.

"they came in at night." It was dark. There were people moving around. "they were fired at by, I think, more than one person," Smith said. "There were weapons in the area." "It was a fast-moving situation in which they felt threatened and they responded accordingly."

PAKISTAN PROTEST CALLED

There has been no. sign of mass protests or violent reaction on the streets in Muslim countries, including Pakistan.

However, a major Islamist political party in Pakistan called for mass protests on Friday against what it called a violation of the country's sovereignty after the U.S. raid.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) also urged the government to withdraw its support for the U.S. war on militancy.

"We have appealed to everyone to hold peaceful demonstrations on Friday on a very large scale," JI chief Syed Munawar Hasan told Reuters.

Attorney General Holder said bin Laden was a legitimate military target and had made no. attempt to surrender to the American forces who stormed his fortified compound near Islamabad and shot him in the head.

"It was justified as an act of national self-defense," Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee, citing bin Laden's admission of being involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States that killed nearly 3,000 people.

He said a trove of information seized from the compound would likely lead to more names being added to U.S. terrorism watch-lists.

Pakistan, for its part, faces national embarrassment, a leading Islamabad newspaper said, in explaining how the world's most-wanted man was able to live for years in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, just north of the capital.

The Dawn newspaper compared the latest humiliation with the admission in 2004 that one of the country's top scientists, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, had sold its nuclear secrets.

Pakistan has welcomed bin Laden's death, but expressed deep concerns about the raid, which it called an "unauthorized unilateral action."

The country has blamed worldwide intelligence lapses for a failure to detect bin Laden. But Washington is investigating whether its ally had sheltered the al Qaeda leader, which Islamabad vehemently denies.

"There is an intelligence failure of the whole world, not just Pakistan alone," Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani told reporters in Paris on Wednesday.
