Manchester City lost its top spot in the Premier League


Manchester City lost its top spot in the Premier League to rival Manchester United after a shock 1-0 defeat at Swansea on Sunday. Luke Moore scored with a powerful close-range header for the Welsh side in the 83rd minute as City, unbeaten in the league at home, lost its fourth away match this season. Man United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 to move first one point ahead of City. City s Micah Richards had a goal called back for offside in the dying minutes of the game at the Liberty Stadium. Joe Hart saved a penalty from Scott Sinclair in the 7th minute after the England goalkeeper was judged to have brought down Wayne Routledge. Yaya Toure was caught in possession by Gylfi Sigurdsson and Swansea coolly put Routledge down the right to deliver a cross that Moore headed beyond Hart s despairing dive.The goal triggered all-out attack from City and Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm made an acrobatic save to deny a Kolo Toure effort. City thought it had salvaged a point when Richards headed in as Vorm came and failed to reach a cross, but the fullback was ruled offside. Sinclair almost added a second in added time as Swansea broke after Hart had gone up for a corner, but his strike from halfway came up short of the line as the keeper recovered.

US Soldiers Mean Act In Afghanistan


Once again American soldiers in Afghanistan have shown their real mean face killing 16 innocent people and injuring various others including men, women and children. No sooner did they show their hostile with the Muslims and the Holy Quran and burned it, they brutally killed the innocent people in Afghanistan who were in deep or sound sleep and were unaware of any danger! The coward or timid US soldiers have always been violating human rights and killing innocent people who are only punished because they are the Muslims! The soldiers equipped with modern or sophisticated weapons are mad or crazy as they think that none is more powerful than they are although they cannot face the real battle with Taliban in Afghanistan and have desire to negotiate with Taliban so that they can withdraw from Afghan’s soil peacefully! US forces are filled with such soldiers who are usually psycho patients and they  are unable to face any battle and kill themselves or commit suicide in order to avoid battle! According to media, the soldiers killed the innocent people recently were laughing greatly and they were intoxicated. Is this humanity? I think the whole American nation is mad and perhaps none is sensible and everybody is foolish in USA because they are intoxicated with power as they are called Super Power but their deeds show their meannes and cruelty and they never learn a lesson from their badly failure in the past battles! Think if the same incident took place in any other country and a Muslim was involved in this kind of act, immediately all media and firstly American media would raise voice against this act whereas they all are so-called champions of human rights who just talk about non-Muslims’ rights and never try to save the Muslims’ lives! The whole Pakistani nation but all the Muslims condemn this cruel act by US soldiers and demand the concerned authorities to take serious steps to save the innocent Muslims’ lives in Afghanistan!

A man set fire to a mosque in Belgium


The attack left the imam dead in an act some linked to tensions betweens Shiites and Sunnis. As investigators sought to determine whether late Monday s arson attack was an isolated incident or a deliberate assault on the Shiite community, Interior Minister Joelle Milquet suggested inter-religious strife may be to blame. "This person went in (the mosque) hurling statements linked to the Syrian conflict. It appears to be a problem between Sunnis and Shiites," Milquet said, adding that investigators still had to confirm the motive. "Belgium will not tolerate this type of act and the importing of this type of conflict on its territory," she said, adding that the government would take "all necessary measures" in coming days to prevent attacks.

Agreement between Israel and militants in Gaza


The deal came after four days of violence in which 25 Gazans died and 200 rockets were fired at Israel. Under the agreement, which came into force at 1:00 am (2300 GMT on Monday), both Israel and militants from Islamic Jihad, who were responsible for the lion s share of the rocket attacks, agreed to hold their fire. More than 12 hours later, the nascent truce appeared to be largely holding, although Israeli police said eight rockets and mortar shells had landed, without causing injury or damage. And the skies over Gaza remained calm. Israeli officials and Islamic Jihad both confirmed that a deal was in place. "This morning the situation is relatively quiet, it may be that we find ourselves at the end of this round," Defence Minister Ehud Barak told reporters during a visit to an army headquarters in southern Israel. "There is an understanding, and we are following what s going on in the field," Home Front Defence Minister Matan Vilnai told Israeli public radio. "Apparently things are calming down and this round of confrontations appears to be behind us." In Gaza, an Islamic Jihad spokesman said the radical group was willing to respect the deal if Israel would end its targeted killings of militants. "We accept a ceasefire if Israel agrees to apply it by ending its aggressions and assassinations," Daud Shihab told AFP. But both sides were quick to warn that the agreement would be short lived if the other side stepped out of line. "Any Israeli violation requires a strong response by all factions," said Fawzi Barhum, a spokesman for Gaza s Hamas rulers, who have been seeking Cairo s help to restore calm. The truce, he said, "was not meant to tie the hands of the resistance and its right to respond forcefully to the killings and attacks." Israel s top military officer took the same stance. "If the terrorists maintain the calm, we will do the same; if they fire, we will hit them. Everything depends on them," Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz told the radio.

US drone strikes in Waziristan, Pakistan


US drone aircraft struck twice in Pakistan’s unruly tribal regions along the border with Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing 15 suspected militants, including two senior commanders of the Pakistani Taliban, security and intelligence officials said. In the first strike, Pakistani warlord Maulvi Nazir’s loyalists, two of them commanders, were attacked in the remote Drey Nishtar area of South Waziristan along the Afghan border, part of the semi-autonomous northwestern tribal belt that Washington considers a global hub of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants. A total of eight suspected militants were killed in the attack. The targeted militants were supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan but not hostile to Pakistani authorities, local officials said. Pakistani warlord Maulvi Nazir s loyalists, two of them commanders, were attacked in the remote Drey Nishtar area in the first strike. "The target of the attack was fighters of commander Maulvi Nazir. A total of eight fighters were killed in this attack," one Pakistani official told AFP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media. Security officials said US drones fired up to four missiles into a vehicle travelling through the far-flung and mountainous area. "Informers told us that two senior commanders of Maulvi Nazir were among the dead. Both commanders, Amir Hamza and Shamsullah, were considered important for Nazir," the Pakistani official added. Another seven people were killed in a second US drone strike in Sara Khawra area near Shawal in South Waziristan.
