We, the soldiers killed by a bomb Afghan

 about 200 foreign soldiers were killed in Afghanistan so far this year seven US soldiers were killed by a bomb in the South of the Afghanistan, American officials say.

The incident is the most deadly single attack on foreign troops in a month. Initially, NATO confirmed the death but refused to disclose the nationalities.

Earlier, a NATO helicopter crashed in the East of the Afghanistan, killing one soldier, officials said.

About 200 foreign soldiers were killed by militants in Afghanistan so far this year.

Tafsir Khogyani, Commander of the border to the South of the Afghanistan police, told the BBC Sarwary Bilal in Kabul: "according to our initial information from police Coalition and Afghan went to destroy a container Taliban who had explosives and weapons." As soon as the helicopter landed and were patrolling the other forces of ISAF, the explosion took place.

"It took place in the district of Shorabak 19 kilometres (12 miles) from the Pakistani border."

Shorabak district lies between the districts of Registan and Spin Boldak.

Spin Boldak police that Chief Gen Abdul Raziq told the BBC that insurgents had been allowed in the region only two months ago.

Contested claim

During this time, led by NATO forces say that they have pushed Taliban fighters in a district in the Eastern province of Nuristan.

Local officials said up to 500 insurgents seized the Doab district on Wednesday.

The mission of international security challenges the account given by local leaders. "At no point was the centre of district of saturation, the Taliban were never in control,", said the spokesman for the ISAF Maj Tim James.

Afghan troops and NATO arrived in the district Wednesday afternoon and made a number of air strikes, he said.

"The area quiet Afghan troops and NATO much in control," said Maj. James.

It is very difficult to confirm the claims of NATO or how far their control extends in the district. The Governor of the province said that close to 30 insurgents were killed on Wednesday - but questions remain on the comings and goings of hundreds of others.

Our correspondent says that the mountainous area has several hideouts.

He said officials in Nuristan warning for more than a year that the Government and NATO should do more to counter the militant threat in the region.

Georgian police: 1 officer killed in protest clash

Tbilisi, Georgia - Georgian police said a policeman was killed Thursday at the start in the energetic debacle of a protest outside the building, where protesters were to block a parade of the celebration of the independence push requires them that the President resign from Parliament.

Spokesman of the Ministry of the Interior Chota Utiashvili said that the police officer died after being beaten by a car containing organizers of the event travelling near the site of the confrontation between police and protestors about 1 500.

The demonstrators have been claiming the resignation of President Mikhail Saakashvili and had planned to spend later Thursday in a square close to try to block a military parade marking the country's independence day.

Utiashvili said that 19 other police officers were hospitalized in shock, in which police fired teargas the demonstrators with water cannon. The leaders of the protest said dozens of protesters were arrested, but there was no immediate official figure.

Demonstrations against Saakashvili began Saturday, but attracted a few thousand people at most. Leaders of protests, in the hope to assemble a protest mass and dramatic, had to jump from a building in a nearby square through which the military parade was to pass later Thursday of the Parliament.

But their demonstration permit expired at midnight Wednesday and a few minutes after that time have been exhausted, police moved in on the crowd, spraying water on them and leave off the coast of tear gas. Some witnesses have said police also fired rubber bullets.

Utiashvili said authorities had offered the protesters sites alternate Thursday demo which would not prevent the parade, but that protest leaders refused.

One of the opposition, failure of the former world champion Nona Gaprindashvili, said dozens of protesters were arrested.

Saakashvili were severe and criticism from abroad in 2007 after police repression of violent demonstrations, which damaged his image as a democratic reformer. Dissatisfaction with him rose again after brief war the Georgia with the Russia in 2008, in which the Russia advanced far in Georgian territory and the Georgia entirely lost control of two pro-Russian separatist regions.

But weeks of protests in the spring of 2009 is not his resignation from the force and the opposition, weakened by factional conflict, seems unable to galvanize people in numbers similar to tens of thousands who came to the streets in the revolution of the Rose who helped bring Saakashvili to power in 2003.

Two killed American soldiers Baghdad hit by bombs

Baghdad (Reuters) - a series of attacks have killed at least 15 people and injured 74 more through Baghdad Sunday and two US soldiers were killed in the Iraq Centre, officials said.

Iraq violence has dropped significantly since the height of sectarian conflict four years ago, but the bombings, assassinations and attacks occur every day while the remaining US troops prepare to withdraw countries later this year.

At least 11 Iraqi soldiers were killed when a suicide bomber detonated his car among a group of soldiers investigating another car bomb outside a control point in the main street at Taji, 20 kilometres (12 miles) North of Baghdad, said the security of the capitaleQasim spokesman major-general al-Moussawi.

"Two vehicles exploded at Taji". The first was a parked car bomb. They were trying to defuse, when another driver himself jumping, "he says.

Two US soldiers were killed Sunday during operations in the Centre of the Iraq, the US military said in a press release with no other information of when or how they died.

Police and Iraqi security forces is often targeted by insurgents that Washington is preparing to withdraw the last American troops end of the year, more than eight years after the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein from power.

On Sunday, four bombs and bomb car parked also aimed an Amil District, Southwest Baghdad Iraqi Federal Police base, killing two civilians and injuring 15, including three police officers, a security official said.

Two other people were killed and seven were injured by an another bomb planted near the Hospital of Sadr City, in Northeast Baghdad.

Iraqi forces take total control of security at the end of this year, when the remaining 47 000 U.S. troops are scheduled to leave the Iraq. US troops are currently in training and advising the Iraqi forces.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Iraqi forces are ready to contain internal threats. But he called on the major political parties of the Iraq to discuss the sensitive issue of whether to extend the presence of a few American soldiers.

Some officials have suggested a small army U.S. remain to help the Iraqis in areas such as intelligence and security at the border. But already the idea of US troops remaining sparked street demonstrations.

Three other soldiers were also killed Sunday by a bomb attached to their Iraqi army vehicle in the town of Tuz Khurmato (105 miles) 170 km north of Baghdad, said police.

Three bombs targeting security forces killed 27 people week last in the city of Kirkuk oil, an area disputed with an Arab population and mixed Kurdish and a potential flashpoint after American troops leave.

Demonstrations erupted in defiance of a military crackdown that killed more than 800 civilians in the nine weeks, said another group of rights.

Assad rejected largely as events using a foreign-backed plot to sow sectarian strife.

Child killed while Syrian forces try to stop protests (AP)

Cairo - a Syrian activist said that a 12 year old boy was killed in the Centre of the city of Homs, the security forces have sealed off after massive protests against the regime.

An activist who became evidence of Homs, stated that the child was killed Sunday as firing and shelling erupted in the city. The activist refused to be named for fear of reprisals.

The Syria has banned foreign media and restricted access for reporters in several regions of the country, making it difficult to confirm the evidence independently. President Bashar Al-Assad has used the military and security forces to crush the uprising of seven weeks in the country across the country.

More than 580 civilians and 100 soldiers have been killed since the start of the revolt, say rights groups.

IT IS AN UPDATE OF BREAKING NEWS. Check back soon for more information. Previous AP story is below.

Cairo (AP) - the Syrian security forces arrested more than 200 people Sunday early - including a 10 year old boy - as President Bashar al-Assad is developing a campaign to crush the seven-week uprising, at the national level of the country, said militants.

Rami Abdul Rahman, Director of the Syrian human rights observatory, said that more than 200 people have been picked up in Banias, a town in key oil industry on the Mediterranean coast where one of the largest protests took place in the night. On Saturday, the troops of tanks and armoured vehicles rolled and sealed off the coast of the city.

A 10-year-old child was among those taken into custody, said Abdul Rahman.

"It seems to be designed to punish his parents," he told The Associated Press, adding that the water, electricity, and almost all forms of communication of the city have been cut.

Another activist obtain reports of witness said that three more were found dead there since Saturday, bringing the balance sheet of two days in Banias to six. The activist refused to be named for security reasons.

Syria uprising was triggered by the arrest of adolescents who scribbled anti-Government graffiti on a wall in the city of the South of Dara in mid-March. Protests inspired by uprisings sweeping the Arab world spread rapidly across the nation of some 23 million people.

More than 580 civilians and 100 soldiers have been killed since the start of the revolt, say rights groups.

The events of Banias, after the killed security forces 30 people in nationwide protests Friday, came in the wake of a military operation on a large scale in Dara. The headquarters of 11 days, with approximately 50 residents were killed, triggered international outrage and condemnation.

Banias, which is home to one of two of the country's oil refineries and is the main point of Syrian oil export, has a potentially explosive mixture of religious groups and sects. It is predominantly Sunni Muslim, but is also home to many Alawi - the sect of the ruling Assad family and several officials. He also has a large power station.

Syrian officials and the State media have tried to portray Banias as fertile ground for Islamic extremists to justify the Suppression of the regime. The news agency SANA said the army and security forces were pursuing fugitives in Banias and managed to stop a large number of them and confiscate their weapons.

Sunday, SANA said Syrian authorities seized sophisticated weapons and that the army is still hunting down "armed terrorist groups" across the country, including in Banias.

The United States has already imposed sanctions on three senior Syrian officials as well as intelligence of the Syria and revolutionary Agency keeps the Iran on law enforcement. The European Union should impose sanctions on Syrian officials next week, and the United Nations, said Saturday, and he sends a Syria team to investigate the situation.

Similar to that of Dara, operation of Banias where begins the uprising, risks further alienate the Assad regime, which used a brutal military force to crush the revolt without precedent against the dynasty of 40 years of his family.

Details of the deployment of troops in Banias, for weeks the scene of demonstrations demanding a change of regime, were rare as telephone lines and other communications with the region were mainly cut.

"big Love" Ben Laden-style: more young woman knows the leader that killed al-Qaeda

The U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin-Laden and removed a bonanza of documents and flash drives may have left behind another vital source of intelligence - bin-Laden's wife, Amal Ahmed Abdul Fatah. The story of how she found her way back to bin-Laden's hideout in Pakistan from Yemen could well have revealed crucial clues as to whether or not Pakistani authorities had been aware of the al-Qaeda leader's presence in their country. And if U.S. officials had been tracking her at the time, they may have found bin-Laden sooner.

The White House says that Amal, 24, was shot in the calf when she charged at the SEALs who burst into bin-Laden's bedroom, presumably trying to protected her husband. Bin-Laden's body and that of his his Hamza were taken away for burial in the Arabian Sea. But Amal was left behind along with her young daughter, Safiyah, who Pakistani officials say witnessed her father's killing. It is not clear how many of the dozen other children in the compound were bin-Laden's. Pakistani officials say bin Laden's wife and daughter are now recovering in a military hospital in Rawalpindi, and they have released Amal's passport photograph. (See "As Pakistan Pleads Incompetence, Tougher Questions Go Unanswered.")

The photograph shows a pale young woman with generous lips. In accordance with Islamic convention, her face is framed by a head scarf and she is wearing No. lipstick or make-up. Later Pakistani press reports suggested that bin Laden may have had several other wives staying with him, but his original spouses are believed to be in Syria, Saudi Arabia and in Iran, possibly under house arrest.

In 2002, Amal reportedly gave an interview to a Saudi woman's magazine, al-Majalla, in which she explained how, after the 9/11 attacks, she had made her way out of Afghanistan back to Yemen with assistance from Pakistani officials.

As bin-Laden's widow told her Saudi interview at the time, "when the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan started, we moved to a mountainous area with some children and lived in one of the caves for two months until one of his sons came with a group of tribesmen and took us with them." "I did not know that we were going to Pakistan until they handed us over to the pakistani government."

Shares of that account were confirmed to TIME in a telephone interview with an Arab woman who prefers not to be identified, but who knew bin Laden personally in Afghanistan and whose family formed part of al-Qaeda's inner circle. After 9/11, al Qaeda's leadership had decided to evacuate their families. She says: "all the families had to leave Afghanistan swiftly." "They didn't want their women and children captured." However, one of bin Laden's training aid in Yemen insists Amal never reached home. (Does Osama bin Laden's young daughter share his beliefs?)

After bin-Laden's young bride-Amal was then 19 - was turned over to the Pakistani authorities, she and her daughter were released and allowed to fly home to Ibb Safiya, a town not far from Sanaa, Yemen's capital, where her father worked as a minor civil servant.

Goal bin-Laden somehow arranged for his young wife to I him, with the kids, in hiding in Pakistan. In her Saudi magazine interview, she was asked if she would I her fugitive husband. Her enigmatic reply: "Let us see what happens." Pakistani press quoted officials as saying that Amal claimed to have been living with bin Laden in the Abbottabad safe house for five years.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems that U.S. counter-terrorism experts spent years trying to decipher the name and the whereabouts of bin Laden's elusive courier when keeping tabs on his comely, young wife might have led them to him sooner.

Then there's the question of whether Pakistani authorities had been aware that bin-Laden's bride had returned to their country. Robert Grenier, a former Director of the CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center and security expert, says it's impossible not to imagine that the Pakistanis could have let Amal leave the country, and fail to detect her return. "the pakistanis would want to get her back home," Grenier tells TIME. "There are cultural taboos that come up with women." "They certainly wouldn't can't facilitate her interrogation by foreigners." (See "The bin Laden Raid: Pakistan Feels the Heat of U.S. Mistrust.")

So far, Pakistan is refusing to let U.S. officials anywhere near Amal, now under guard in hospital. Chances are, that won't change - cultural taboos aside, she may also know too many uncomfortable truths. Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani said Thursday that Pakistani is ordering all but the "minimum essential" American staff to leave Pakistan, a sign that the tense relations between Pakistan and the U.S. have worsened as a result of the Abottabad raid.

Pakistan's security establishment has long been accused of playing a double game, taking trillion in U.S. aid money while secretly select backing militant jihadi in Afghanistan and in Pakistan's tribal region. Even al-Qaeda types were expected to play ball. The Arab woman formerly connected to al-Qaeda says: "There was an understanding with the Pakistani army." We would get a tip-off that the army planned to raid one of our houses in the tribal area. "we would flee but leave some 'evidence' behind so that the army could show to the americans that we d been there."

While CIA Director Leon Panetta said this week that "either (the Pakistanis) were involved or incompetent." "neither is a good place to be." Attic suggests a more complex scenario: "I'm not giving an alibi for the Pakistanis, but it's virtually inconceivable that Osama and those close to him would have voluntarily allowed their presence to be known by Pakistani officials, especially given the large number of his followers captured by Pakistan." We don't trust the Pakistanis. "why should he?" On the other hand, he adds, "But if his whereabouts were discovered by the Pakistani officials, I can envision them saying, 'He's keeping a low profile, and if we turn him over to the Americans it will create a real fire storm for us'." (Read more about the CIA's rare public victory.)

Amal may be said to have leaped to her husband's defense during the raid, but her acquaintance interviewed by TIME remembers her SEAL as shy and meek when she was first brought to Kandahar in 2000, and was staying with one of bin-Laden's other wives. "she was new." She was out of place. The Sheikh's other wives were much older than she was. "so were many of his sons," the source claims.

Amal was his fifth wife. His first, Saada, never got over the fact that the billionaire's its she married preferred living in a simple hut in Afghanistan to a palace back home. In 2000, bin-Laden sent a trusted Yemeni help, Abual-IFAD, on the hunt for a new bride. As IFAD later told an interviewer, bin-Laden wanted his new wife to be religious, generous, well brought up, quiet, calm and young enough not to feel jealous of the Sheikh's other wives."

Despite the huge age gap, the Yemeni family considered it an honor to marry off their daughter to bin-Laden. The al-Qaeda chief reportedly paid $5,000 in jewelry and clothes for his teenaged bride who was then brought to Afghanistan to marry the grizzled warrior - already on the U.S. most-wanted list for his role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. "To me, it's astonishing that she came back to join him [in Pakistan]," said the source with ties to al-Qaeda training. "None of the other fighters brought back their wives." Purpose did the Pakistani authorities know that she had returned from Yemen? With bin-Laden's wife now in Pakistani custody, the White House won't find out any time soon.

U.S. says bin Laden when armed killed (Reuters)

 Osama bin Laden was not armed when he was shot by U.S. special forces, said White, as in fact Pakistan House with additional pressure on Wednesday to explain how most wanted man the world was not safe so long in a town near the capital.

Washington is committed to "go back" helped Pakistan if Ben Laden escape a hunting man 10 years before being killed in a U.S. raid on its walls fortified the city of Abbottabad. Islamabad denied that he gave shelter to the al-Qaeda Chief.

The CIA has said that he did not in Pakistan in advance on the raid because she feared that bin Laden would be tipped off the coast, highlighting the depth of mistrust between the two allies assumed.

US authorities have also been wrestling with whether to release graphic photos of the body of Osama bin Laden - which could provide evidence of his death, but also risks offending Muslims.

"It is fair to say that this is a macabre photography," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Pakistan has hailed the death of Osama bin Laden, but his Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "deep concern" what he calls an "unauthorized unilateral action". U.S. helicopters carrying the commandos used radar "blind spots" in the rugged terrain along the border of Afghanistan into Pakistan air space without being detected.

Carney insisted bin Laden stood during the raid - although it would not say how - when US forces stormed his compound North of Islamabad, and engaged in a shooting there.

"It was feared that bin Laden would oppose the capture operation, and indeed, he resisted," Carney said. "A woman... wife of Osama bin Laden, rushed the U.S. aggressor and was wounded in the leg but not killed." Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed. ?

While many leaders of the world applauded the U.S. operation that killed the bin Ladens, there are concerns in some parts of Europe in the United States was wrong to act as a police officer, judge and executioner.

Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder defends the action as legitimate Tuesday, but some in Europe, said bin Laden must have been captured and at trial.

"It was very clearly a violation of international law", former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said German TV. "The operation could also have incalculable consequences in the Arab world, in the light of all disorders."

PAKISTAN UNDER REVIEW

Pakistan has been the intense international scrutiny since the death of Osama bin Laden, with questions that its security agencies have been too incompetent to catch or knew all along where he was hiding and even if they were accomplices.

The compound where bin Laden was hiding - perhaps also long that five or six years - has been close to the Military Academy of Pakistan, Abbottabad, approximately 40 miles from Islamabad.

"It would be premature to rule out the possibility that there are some people in Pakistan, including the official establishment of Pakistan, which could have been aware of this," head of White House counter-terrorism John Brennan told National Public Radio.

"We are not accusing anyone at this stage, but we want to make sure that we get to the bottom of this.".

Prime Minister David Cameron UK said on the radio of the BBC that Islamabad must answer questions about what he called "support of Osama bin Laden network" in Pakistan.

In an interview with exceptionally waned with Time, Director of the CIA Leon Panetta magazine, explained why Islamabad was not informed of the raid until all helicopters carrying the US Navy SEALs - and body of Osama bin Laden - were out of Pakistani air space.

"It was decided that all efforts to work with the Pakistani could jeopardise the mission: they can alert targets,"Said Panetta."."

The Pakistani President, Asif Ali Zardari, in the first public comment background by any Pakistani leader, defended his Government, which receives billions of dollars in aid from the United States.

"Some in the U.S. press suggested that Pakistan had no vitality in pursuit of terrorism, or worse still that we were misleading and effectively protected the terrorists that we claimed to be continuing," Zardari wrote in the Washington Post. "Such speculation unfounded... do reflect fact.".

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan later said its spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had been sharing information on the compound with the CIA and other agencies of intelligence friendly since 2009 and has continued to do so until mid-April.
