Hookers and hookahs: Bungling Iranian bombers pictured partying with prostitutes before botched Bangkok attack

Makes you wonder how many of them actually believe that stuff about the great sky-brothel that is the Mustard-paradise. After all, Iraqi Veterans often say that they catch suicide bombers mostly because they are sweating with fear. If they really believed that Koranic-crap about sky-whores they would be in a state of near bliss I would think. Except the women. I have no idea what is in Islam for women.

The three bungling Iranian bombers detained in Bangkok after they accidentally set off their explosives cavorted with prostitutes at a beach resort days before the botched attacks.

A photograph has emerged of the trio cosying up to sex workers, surrounded by hookah-pipes and drinks, in a bar in the notoriously sleazy city of Pattaya.

The revelation comes as it emerged police are now hunting for two more suspects, including a possible bomb expert, they think helped the trio as they set about targeting Israeli diplomats.

The foiled plan was discovered on Tuesday when explosives in the men’s rented house blew up by mistake, forcing them to flee.

Two men, including one who blew off his own leg when he hurled a grenade at police but it bounced back at his feet, were detained in the Thai capital.

A third was captured the following day in Malaysia as he tried to return to Iran.

After flying into the southern city of Phuket on February 8, the men moved to Pattaya, 45 miles southeast of the capital, and stayed there for at least two nights before heading to Bangkok. Continue Reading →

BBC wins fight to keep Israel-Palestine bias report secret

Radio Times:

Supreme Court says Balen Report is exempt from Freedom of Information rules

 

BBC wins fight to keep Israel-Palestine bias report secret

 

Written By

The BBC has won an eight-year battle to keep an internal report on its coverage of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict secret.

The Supreme Court today ruled that the 2004 Balen Report, which was commissioned by the BBC to investigate the impartiality of its coverage of Middle Eastern affairs, was exempt from the 2000 Freedom of Information Act because it is held “for the purposes of journalism”.

The saga began in 2005 when London lawyer Steven Sugar made a Freedom of Information request asking to see the report. The BBC refused, citing the fact that it is only subject to FOI requests “in respect of information held for purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”.

Hamas: Free re-arrested Schalit deal prisoners

This is rich. I guess Hamas figures that the people who were released as part of the questionable Shalit prisoner-exchange deal would somehow be immune from all future prosecutions for any future crimes for the rest of they lives.

The Jerusalem Post:

IDF suspects 2 Hamas men of recidivism; Hamas spokesman quoted as saying: Release them or bear consequences.

Hamas on Tuesday called on Israel to release two Hamas men that were freed in the prisoner exchange for Gilad Schalit, and re-arrested recently.

The IDF suspects the two Hamas operatives – Ayman Salama who was arrested last month, and Ayman Abu Daud who was arrested Monday – of returning to terrorism.

Israelis: Iran Behind Bangkok Bombings, ‘Coordinated Attacks’ Around the World

From ABC News:

A spokesman for Israel’s foreign ministry has said there is no sign yet that Moradi’s alleged targets were Jewish or Israel. Defense Minister Ehud Barak, however, placed the blame on the Iranian government. “The attempted terror attack in Thailand proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to operate in the ways of terror and the latest attacks are an example of that,” said Barak

According to Israeli records, one of the most serious of the coordinated wave of attacks came in January, when three Azerbaijani nationals were intercepted before they could attack Israeli ambassador Michael Lotem and a rabbi and a woman at the Chabad center in Baku, the capital. In the 2008 Mumbai attack, terrorists invaded the Chabad center in Mumbai and killed the rabbi, his wife and four hostages.

Breaking news Dreuz.info: CNN Israel fired four Jewish journalists

From Dreuz.info

9 février 2012 | Filed under: Divers,English,International,Israël,Moyen-Orient | Posted by:

Update at 8:30 PST: we just received the names of the four journalists that were fired:

Moshe Cohen, editor, fired on january 30, 10 years with CNN.

Izi Landberg, Producer, about 25 years with CNN, fired on January 30.

Avi Kaner cameraman fired on january 30, 10 years with CNN.

Michal Zippori desk producer, situation still unclear.

The media scandal that you are about to read was revealed to us by a totally reliable source.

It is likely to provoke a wave of shock and indignation within the North American media industry, and it certainly will not calm down the controversy over the pro-palestinian CNN treatment of the conflict.

We learned today that the Israeli branch of CNN, located in Jerusalem, is downsizing to cope with reduced income from less advertising.

What goes beyond good management is that CNN has fired four Israeli Jewish journalists (out of a crew of 8), and has retained only Arab journalists. Where, until now, CNN always sent a Jewish and an Arab journalist to cover information, now there will be only an Arab journalist. The local chief editor of the News Chanel is now a non Jewish (when we first learned that the new bureau chief was not Jewish, we misconcluded that he was an Arab, but he is neither Jewish or Arab).
This is a conflict where information is central to public opinion, and it weighs a lot on diplomatic decisions. Furthermore, it is no secret that Arab journalists cannot freely publish what they want without risking for their own lives when traveling to Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Judea Samaria. Thus, CNN decision to fire all Jewish journalists from its Jerusalem office is of particular concern, because the general public is unaware that they will be receiving biased information from CNN.
