Syrian
Prime Minister sacked - state TV . . .
1WC’sChannel REVIEW 2012: (RT News) Syrian
Prime Minister Riyad Hijab has been sacked, state TV reported. His current
whereabouts are unknown, and there are conflicting reports as to whether he has
fled the country. Hijab, Syria’s former Minister of Agriculture, was appointed
Prime Minister in June following parliamentary elections in the country.
The ex-Prime Minister is currently in
Jordan, where he fled with his family, Reuters cited a Jordanian official as
saying. Hijab’s former spokesperson Muhammad el-Etri confirmed the report.
The former Prime Minister has defected from
the Syrian government and traveled to Jordan with ten family members, where he
will join the Syrian opposition forces, el-Etri told Al-Jazeera. However,
Jordanian Minister of Information Samih al-Maaytah denied that Hijab is in the
country. Meanwhile, Al-Arabiya reported that the defected premier would travel
to Qatar.
Omar Ghalawanji, the country’s Minister of
Local Administration, will temporarily assume Hijab's duties before a new Prime
Minster is appointmented, the Syrian TV report said. The news comes less than a
month after four key Syrian military officials, including the Defense Minister,
were killed in a suicide bombing at a national security building in the capital
of Damascus.
Levels of violence in the country remain
high. A bomb blast at a state TV and radio building in Damascus wounded three
people on Monday. Fighting continues in Aleppo, where government troops and
armed opposition forces are battling for control of the city.
Opposition
alleges more defections
In addition to Hijab, three other members
of Assad’s cabinet have defected, opposition sources claimed. Three army
generals also fled the country, separate rebel reports said.
The
allegations were quickly picked up by international media. Treasurer Mohamad
Gillati, one of the cabinet members alleged to have fled, denied the rumors of
his defection in a live Syrian TV broadcast.

A bomb has detonated at a state-run
television and radio building in the capital of Damascus, Syrian TV reported. The
explosion occurred on the third floor of the building, which houses
administrative offices including the station director’s, RT Damascus correspondent
Oksana Boiko said. The station’s studios were frequently used by foreign
journalists for live broadcasts from the city, she said. Three people were
injured in the blast.
"It is clear that the blast was caused
by an explosive device," Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi said.
"Several of our colleagues were injured, but there were no serious
injuries, and no dead." "Nothing can silence the voice of Syria or
the voice of the Syrian people," al-Zoubi added while inspecting the
damage at the TV building. "We have a thousand locations to broadcast
from."

Missouri dibakar ke tanah sebulan
selepas

Sebuah pusat komuniti Islam di Joplin,
Missouri dibakar ke tanah awal pagi Isnin. Ia adalah api ke-2 telah dihadapi dalam kira-kira satu bulan. Ia
berikut membakar 4 Julai di Persatuan Islam Joplin yang menyebabkan hanya
kerosakan kecil, tetapi mencetuskan suatu penyiasatan FBI dan ganjaran $ 15,000

Pejabat Jasper County Sheriff berkata. Imam pusat itu adalah di dalam bangunan sehingga
lewat malam Ahad, dan memberitahu Yahoo! News bahawa dia adalah amat "sedih
dan terkejut" mengenai kebakaran yang memusnahkan tempat kerja dan ibadah.
"Tidak ada yang dapat
diselamatkan," Imam Lahmuddin berkata pada Isnin. "Tetapi oleh kerana
kita adalah orang-orang yang beriman, kita hanya boleh ingat bahawa ini adalah
satu perkara yang berlaku kerana Tuhan biarkan ia berlaku, dan kita perlu
bersabar, terutamanya dalam bulan Ramadan, mengawal emosi, kemarahan
kita."
Tiada kecederaan dilaporkan dalam kebakaran,
dan tiada caj telah difailkan. FBI telah membuka penyiasatan, dan akan cuba
untuk menentukan sama ada ia disebabkan oleh kebakaran, mengikut biro jurucakap
Bridgett Patton.
FBI juga telah menyiasat insiden 2008 di

yang turut menjejaskan buntu. Dan walaupun cubaan bulan lepas gagal untuk
membakar bangunan ke bawah telah ditangkap pada kamera, kata seorang jurucakap
untuk pejabat keselamatakamera sheriff n pusat telah musnah dalam kebakaran

hospital tempatan.
Pada hari Ahad, sebuah kuil Sikh di pinggir
bandar yang Milwaukee, Wisconsin datang di bawah pengepungan apabila lelaki
bersenjata melepaskan tembakan di tempat letak kereta, kemudian mengambil
tebusan sekali di dalam bangunan. Beberapa laporan spekulasi bahawa dakwaan
neo-Nazi Wade Michael Page, lelaki bersenjata dalam serangan Wisconsin, telah
mengelirukan Sikh bagi umat Islam.
"Saya mendengar bahawa semalam, dan
pagi ini kita lihat ini berlaku di tempat kita," Imam Lahmuddin berkata.
"Kami lebih bernasib baik bahawa tidak ada orang di sini cedera."
Missouri
mosque burned to the ground a month
after
failed arson . . .
An Islamic community center in Joplin,
Missouri burned to the ground early Monday morning. It was the second fire the
center had faced in about a month. It follows a July 4 arson at the Islamic
Society of Joplin that caused only minor damage, but sparked an FBI
investigation – and a $15,000 reward for tips leading to charges relating to
the blaze.
The fire that destroyed the mosque and
community center was reported at about 3:30 am local time Monday, the Jasper
County Sheriff's Office said. The center's imam was in the building until late
Sunday night, and told Yahoo! News that he was "sad and shocked"
about the fire that destroyed his place of work and worship.
"Nothing can be saved," Imam
Lahmuddin said Monday. "But since we are people of faith, we just can
remember that this is a thing that happened because God let it happen, and we
have to be patient, particularly in the month of Ramadan, control our emotions,
our anger."
No injuries were reported in the fire, and
no charges have been filed. The FBI has opened an investigation, and will try
to determine whether it was caused by arson, according to bureau spokeswoman
Bridgett Patton.
The FBI had also investigated a 2008
incident in which the center's sign was set on fire. As with the July arson,
that investigation also hit a dead end. And though last month's failed attempt
to burn the building down was caught on camera, a spokesperson for the
sheriff's office said the center's security cameras were destroyed in the
Monday fire.
Meanwhile, the Council on American Islamic
Relations is calling for increased police protection at houses of worship
across the country following the Joplin fire and the deadly attack on a Sikh
temple in Wisconsin the day before. The Washington-based advocacy group has
also put up $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of
whoever set the Joplin fire.
The Islamic Society of Joplin opened in
2007 as a mosque and community center, and boasts a membership of about 50
families. According to Lahmuddin, the center's members are integral members of
the Joplin community, many of them working as doctors at local hospitals.
On Sunday, a Sikh temple in a suburb of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin came under siege when a gunman opened fire in the parking
lot, then took hostages once inside the building. Some reports speculate that
alleged neo-Nazi Wade Michael Page, the gunman in the Wisconsin attack, had
confused the Sikhs for Muslims.

Masalah Laut: 'Ketegangan Amerika Syarikat-China

1WC'sChannel REVIEW 2012: (12 hours ago) China has hit back at the US for criticizing its new military garrison in the South China Sea. The Sansha base was created just two weeks ago on Chinese territory. But it's in an area where competing territorial claims pit Beijing against the Philippines and Vietnam, among others. China set up the outpost to administer thousands of square miles of water it says are within its sovereignty. But Washington believes it's an attempt to occupy the entire South China Sea, which is rich in oil resources. The US has tens of thousands of military personnel in Asia-Pacific, and views itself as a stabilizing influence in the region. But Conn Hallinan, a senior analyst at Foreign Policy in Focus, believes regional tensions could escalate into an even wider conflict.

China menetapkan kota kara untuk mentadbir air beribu-ribu batu persegi ia berkata dalam kedaulatannya. Tetapi Washington percaya ia adalah satu cubaan untuk menduduki seluruh Laut China Selatan yang kaya dengan sumber minyak. Amerika Syarikat mempunyai berpuluh-puluh ribu anggota tentera di Asia-Pasifik dan melihat dirinya sebagai pengaruh yang stabil di rantau ini. Tetapi, Conn Hallinan, seorang penganalisis kanan di Dasar Luar Fokus, percaya ketegangan serantau boleh memuncak ke dalam konflik yang lebih luas.

Maklumat Menteri Syria, Omran al-Zoubi

yang paling buruk terhadap kewartawanan dan kebebasan media."
7
wartawan dan pekerja di Syria al-Ikhbaryia satelit Channel terbunuh pada pagi

berita.
Syria:
Attack on TV staff 'worst massacre against journalism'
Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi
put the responsibility for killing of seven TV staffers on the EU, Arab and
International organizations. He called it “the worst massacre against
journalism and the freedom of media.”
Seven
journalists and workers in the Syrian al-Ikhbaryia Satellite Channel were
killed on Wednesday morning in an attack by an armed group targeting the
headquarters of al-Ikhbaryia. The assault occurred some 20 kilometres south of
the capital Damascus. They planted explosive devices at the headquarters of
al-Ikhbaryia following their ransacking, and destroying the Satellite Channel
studios, including the newsroom.

Gambar menunjukkan bilik yang banyak rosak
tanpa siling dan pita api di tengah-tengah timbunan puing. Seorang pekerja di
stesen memberitahu Akhbar Bersekutu bahawa beberapa orang cedera dalam serangan
itu dan pengawal telah diculik. Dia tidak memberikan namanya takut akibat,
tetapi berkata lelaki bersenjata memandu kira-kira 200 meter jauhnya, dan
kemudian dia mendengar letupan stesen dimusnahkan.
Beberapa jam selepas serangan, stesen itu
masih mampu untuk menyiarkan. "Pembunuhan beramai-ramai ini tidak akan
pergi tanpa hukuman dan siaran satelit Syria al-Ikhbaryia tidak akan berhenti
dan kami memegang Kesatuan Eropah (EU) dan pertubuhan-pertubuhan Arab dan
Antarabangsa yang bertanggungjawab untuk pembunuhan beramai-ramai ini,"
Agensi Berita Arab Syria (SANA) memetik Menteri Penerangan al-Zoubi sebagai
berkata "orang-orang yang melakukan jenayah ini telah dijalankan keputusan
Majlis Liga Arab untuk mendiamkan suara Syria."
Menteri al-Zoubi berkata bahawa serangan
ini mahkota keputusan EU di Luxembourg untuk mengenakan sekatan di TV dan Radio
Syria sebagai tambahan kepada "kempen berterusan provokasi terhadap
Syria."
Sara Marusek, seorang penyelidik dari
Universiti Syracuse di Beirut, percaya bahawa serangan tersebut memberi manfaat
kepada pemberontak. Dia bergema al-Zoubi dengan mengatakan bahawa sekatan Barat
terhadap media Syria telah hampir dibenarkan ini tindakan keganasan.
"Saya tidak boleh mengatakan jika
mereka telah dilakukan atau tidak tetapi ini memang dalam kepentingan (pemberontak)
mereka. Dan benar-benar, ia agak ironis bahawa stesen ini akan disasarkan
selepas EU tempat sekatan ke atas stesen, "katanya kepada RT.
"Sanctioning outlet media-media yang berbeza - dan Amerika Syarikat
sebenarnya sekatan televisyen negeri Syria - hampir memberikan legitimasi untuk
pemberontak menyerang tempat-tempat ini dan melakukan serangan-serangan kejam
keganasan terhadap orang yang tidak bersalah."
Beliau juga meragui bahawa ada akan menjadi
apa-apa "protes (di Barat) yang kita lihat apabila wartawan barat dapat
ditangkap di crossfire." Komen menteri di atas serangan yang datang
sebagai Presiden Syria Bashar Assad mengakui bahawa negaranya adalah sekarang
dalam keadaan perang .
"Kita hidup dalam keadaan perang
sebenar dari semua sudut," katanya. "Apabila kita berada dalam
peperangan, semua dasar dan semua pihak dan semua sektor perlu diarahkan untuk
memenangi perang ini." Beliau berkata demikian pada hari Selasa pada
mesyuarat Kabinet pertama kerajaan yang baru dalam mengangkat sumpah. Presiden
Assad mengarahkan kabinet mengarahkan semua usaha mereka untuk mengalahkan
pembangkang bersenjata.
Photos show a heavily damaged room without
a ceiling and tapes on fire amid piles of debris. An employee at the station
told Associated Press that several people were wounded in the attack and guards
were kidnapped. He did not give his name for fear of repercussions, but said
the gunmen drove him about 200 meters away, and then he heard the explosion of
the station being destroyed.
A few hours after the attack, the station
was still able to broadcast. "This
massacre won't go unpunished and the broadcast of the Syrian al-Ikhbaryia
Satellite will not stop and we hold the EU and Arab and International
organizations responsible for this massacre," Syrian Arab News Agency
(SANA) quotes Information Minister al-Zoubi as saying.“Those who committed this
crime had carried out the decision of the Arab League Council to silence the
voice of Syria."
Minister al-Zoubi said that this attack
crowns the EU decision in Luxembourg to impose sanctions on Syrian TV and Radio
in addition to the “continued campaigns of provocation against Syria.”
Sara Marusek, a researcher from Syracuse
University in Beirut, believes that the attack benefits the rebels. She echoed
al-Zoubi by saying that Western sanctions against Syrian media outlets had
virtually sanctioned this act of terror.
“I cannot say if they’ve done it or not but
this is definitely in their [rebels’] interests. And, really, it’s quite ironic
that this station gets targeted right after the EU places sanctions on the
station,” she told RT. “Sanctioning these different media outlets - and the US
actually sanctions Syrian state television - it almost gives legitimacy for the
rebels to attack these places and to commit these atrocious terrorist attacks
against innocent people.”
She also doubted that there will be any
“outcry [in the West] that we see when Western journalists get caught in
crossfire.” The minister’s comments on the assault come as Syria’s President
Bashar Assad acknowledged that his country is now in a state of war.
"We live in a real state of war from
all angles," he said. "When we are in a war, all policies and all
sides and all sectors need to be directed at winning this war."
He
was speaking on Tuesday at the first cabinet meeting of the newly sworn-in
government. President Assad ordered the cabinet to direct all their efforts to
beating the armed opposition.
