WORLD News ‘Buruan Iraq VP disabitkan sebagai 

serangan membunuh 92’ . . .
By 1WC’sChannel | earthWatch Today 23 Syawal/Monday 10, Sept. 2012

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq buruan Sunni naib presiden dijatuhi hukuman hari Ahad hingga mati di tali gantung atas tuduhan dia mendalangi skuad pembunuh terhadap pesaing dalam perbicaraan keganasan yang telah menguatkan ketegangan sektarian di negara ini. Menekankan ketidakstabilan, pemberontak melepaskan serangan pengeboman dan tembakan di seluruh Iraq, membunuh sekurang-kurangnya 92 orang di salah satu hari yang dahsyat tahun ini.

Ia tidak mungkin bahawa serangan di 13 bandar-bandar telah semua masanya bertepatan dengan keputusan petang yang dihadkan kes monthslong terhadap Naib Presiden Tariq al-Hashemi, musuh lama Syiah Perdana Menteri Nouri al-Maliki. Namun, diambil bersama-sama, keganasan dan keputusan membolehkan tenaga pemberontak Sunni bengkok kembali Iraq ke ambang perang saudara dengan mensasarkan Syiah dan melemahkan kerajaan.

Al-Hashemi melarikan diri ke Turki pada bulan-bulan selepas kerajaan Syiah yang dipimpin menuduhnya memainkan peranan dalam 150 pengeboman, pembunuhan dan serangan lain 2005-2011 - tahun di mana negara ini telah terperangkap dalam keganasan balas mazhab yang diikuti Amerika Syarikat 2003 yang diterajui pencerobohan yang menggulingkan rejim Sunni Saddam Hussein. Kebanyakan serangan yang didakwa dijalankan oleh pengawal peribadi al-Hashemi dan pekerja lain, dan pegawai-pegawai kerajaan yang sebahagian besarnya disasarkan, pasukan keselamatan dan jemaah Syiah.

Naib presiden enggan untuk segera mengulas mengenai keputusan itu selepas bertemu dengan Menteri Luar Turki Ahmet Davutoglu di Ankara. Beliau berkata beliau akan "menangani isu ini dalam satu kenyataan" dalam beberapa jam akan datang.

Kes politik - yang telah diumumkan hari selepas tentera Amerika Syarikat berundur dari negara Disember lepas - mencetuskan krisis kerajaan dan medorong Islam Sunni dan Kurdish kemarahan terhadap al-Maliki, yang pengkritik berkata memonopoli kuasa.

Keganasan telah ketara, tetapi pemberontak terus ke peringkat berprofil tinggi pengeboman dan rampages menembak. Cawangan al-Qaeda Iraq telah berjanji kemunculan semula dalam kebanyakannya Sunni kawasan dari mana ia dikalahkan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan sekutu-sekutu tempatan selepas pertempuran mazhab yang memuncak pada tahun 2007.

"Serangan ini menunjukkan kemampuan al-Qaeda untuk memukul mana-mana tempat di Iraq dan pada bila-bila masa," kata Ali Salem, 40, seorang guru sekolah rendah di Baghdad. "Kekurangan keselamatan boleh mengambil kita kembali kepada sifar." Keganasan terburuk pada hari Ahad melanda ibu negara, di mana bom memukul kejiranan setengah lusin - kedua-dua Sunni dan Syiah. Tetapi serangan dahsyat di Baghdad melanda kawasan Syiah petang Ahad, jam selepas keputusan al-Hashemi telah diumumkan. Dalam semua, 42 orang terbunuh dalam ibu Negara dan 120 orang cedera, menurut pegawai-pegawai polis dan hospital yang bercakap dengan syarat tidak mahu namanya disiarkan kerana mereka tidak diberi kuasa untuk melepaskan maklumat.

Serangan di seluruh negara bermula sebelum subuh, dengan lelaki bersenjata membunuh askar di pos tentera di bandar tengah Iraq Dujail. Beberapa jam kemudian, kereta meletup dalam banyaknya di mana polis rekrut menunggu dalam barisan untuk memohon pekerjaan luar Kirkuk di utara negara. Kedua-dua Dujail dan Kirkuk adalah bekas kubu kuat pemberontak.

Sepanjang hari, sekurang-kurangnya 92 orang terbunuh dan lebih 360 cedera dalam sekurang-kurangnya 21 pengeboman dan tembakan berasingan, menurut laporan dari polis dan pegawai hospital. Tidak ada kumpulan yang segera mendakwa tanggungjawab, tetapi Kementerian Dalam Negeri Iraq menyalahkan al-Qaeda di Iraq.

"Serangan hari ini disasarkan pasaran awam dan masjid bertujuan untuk memprovokasi ketegangan mazhab dan politik," kata kementerian itu dalam satu kenyataan. "Perang kami menentang keganasan berterusan, dan kami bersedia." Mahkamah di mahkamah jenayah Baghdad adalah senyap Ahad sebagai hakim mempengerusikan membaca keputusan itu. Ia disabitkan al-Hashemi dan anaknya, Ahmed Qahtan, menganjurkan pembunuhan pegawai keselamatan Syiah dan seorang peguam yang enggan untuk membantu sekutu naib presiden dalam kes-kes keganasan. Kedua-dua defendan telah dibebaskan dalam kes ketiga pembunuhan pegawai keselamatan kerana kekurangan bukti.

Mahkamah menjatuhi kedua-dua lelaki dalam absentia mati di tali gantung. Mereka mempunyai 30 hari untuk merayu keputusan itu dan boleh menang perbicaraan semula jika mereka kembali ke Iraq untuk menghadapi tuduhan. Al-Hashemi - yang telah di pejabat sejak 2006 - adalah dalam senarai paling dikehendaki Interpol, tetapi Turki telah menunjukkan ada kepentingan dalam menghantar naib presiden kembali ke Baghdad.

Pasukan pertahanan mulakan kenyataan tertutup dengan dakwaan membakar sistem keadilan Iraq, menuduh ia menunjukkan tiada kebebasan dan menyebelahi kerajaan Syiah yang dipimpin. "Dari awal dan melalui semua prosedur ia telah menjadi jelas bahawa sistem kehakiman Iraq telah berada di bawah tekanan politik," peguam Muayad Obeid al-Ezzi, ketua pasukan pertahanan, memberitahu mahkamah.

Hakim mempengerusikan segera mencelah, memberi amaran bahawa mahkamah akan membuka prosiding undang-undang terhadap pasukan pertahanan jika ia teruskan timbunan tuduhan-tuduhan di mahkamah atau sistem undang-undang. Reaksi kepada keputusan itu adalah sebahagian besarnya sepanjang garis sektarian di jalan-jalan di Baghdad.

Peguam Sunni Abdullah al-Azami dipanggil perbicaraan "sandiwara lain akan ditambah kepada sistem kehakiman Iraq." Sementara itu, ahli farmasi Syiah Khalid Saied berkata beliau menyokong keputusan itu dan berharap kerajaan akan menyiarkan semua keterangan terhadap al-Hashemi "supaya seluruh DUNIA tahu dia."

Keganasan Ahad datang di tengah-tengah kebimbangan bahawa pemberontakan telah mendapat kekuatan baru selepas mengalami halangan berat di Amerka Syarikat dan ‘offensives’ Iraq. 4 serangan disasarkan Kirkuk, di mana polis komander Brig bandar. Kejadian Sarhad Qadir menyalahkan keganasan ke atas al-Qaeda.

Pembunuhan beramai-ramai itu menjangkau ke selatan negara, di mana bom melekat 2 buah kereta yang diletakkan meletup di bandar Syiah dikuasai Nasiriyah, 320 kilometer (200 batu) tenggara Baghdad. Letupan berhampiran konsulat Perancis dan hotel tempatan di bandar, walaupun konsulat tidak muncul untuk menjadi sasaran serangan.

Timbalan pengarah kesihatan tempatan Dr Adnan al-Musharifawi berkata, 2 orang terbunuh dan 3 cedera di hotel, dan seorang anggota polis Iraq telah cedera di konsulat. Al-Musharifawi berkata tiada diplomat Perancis antara mangsa. Di Paris, Kementerian Luar Perancis berkata ia "mengutuk dengan keterukan terbesar" gelombang serangan.

Rentetan serangan kecil Ahad juga melanda 9 bandar-bandar lain. Ia adalah salah satu wabak yang paling teruk keganasan di Iraq pada tahun 2012, walaupun hari tunggal dahsyat ialah 23 Julai, yang menyaksikan sekurang-kurangnya 115 orang terbunuh yang paling dalam lebih daripada 2 tahun.

WORLD News ‘Iraq's fugitive VP convicted as attacks kill 92 . . .

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq's fugitive Sunni vice president was sentenced Sunday to death by hanging on charges he masterminded death squads against rivals in a terror trial that has fueled sectarian tensions in the country. Underscoring the instability, insurgents unleashed an onslaught of bombings and shootings across Iraq, killing at least 92 people in one of the deadliest days this year.

It's unlikely that the attacks in 13 cities were all timed to coincide with the afternoon verdict that capped a monthslong case against Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, a longtime foe of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Still, taken together, the violence and verdict could energize Sunni insurgents bent on returning Iraq to the brink of civil war by targeting Shiites and undermining the government.

Al-Hashemi fled to Turkey in the months after the Shiite-led government accused him of playing a role in 150 bombings, assassinations and other attacks from 2005 to 2011 - years in which the country was mired in retaliatory sectarian violence that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein's Sunni regime. Most of the attacks were allegedly carried out by al-Hashemi's bodyguards and other employees, and largely targeted government officials, security forces and Shiite pilgrims.

The vice president declined to immediately comment on the verdict after meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Ankara. He said he would "tackle this issue in a statement" in coming hours.

The politically charged case - which was announced the day after U.S. troops withdrew from the country last December - sparked a government crisis and fueled Sunni Muslim and Kurdish resentment against al-Maliki, whom critics say is monopolizing power.

Violence has ebbed significantly, but insurgents continue to stage high-profile bombings and shooting rampages. Al-Qaida's Iraq branch has promised a comeback in predominantly Sunni areas from which it was routed by the U.S. and its local allies after sectarian fighting peaked in 2007.

"These attacks show al-Qaida's ability to hit any place in Iraq and at any time," said Ali Salem, 40, an elementary school teacher in Baghdad. "The lack of security could take us back to zero." The worst violence on Sunday struck the capital, where bombs pounded a half-dozen neighborhoods - both Sunni and Shiite - thoughout the day. But the deadliest attacks in Baghdad hit Shiite areas Sunday evening, hours after the al-Hashemi verdict was announced. In all, 42 people were killed in the capital and 120 wounded, according to police and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

The countrywide attacks began before dawn, with gunmen killing soldiers at an army post in the central Iraqi city of Dujail. A few hours later, a car exploded in a lot where police recruits waiting in line to apply for jobs outside Kirkuk in the country's north. Both Dujail and Kirkuk are former insurgent strongholds.

Over the day, at least 92 people were killed and more than 360 wounded in at least 21 separate bombings and shootings, according to reports from police and hospital officials. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but Iraq's Interior Ministry blamed al-Qaida in Iraq.

"The attacks today on the markets and mosques are aimed at provoking sectarian and political tensions," the ministry said in a statement. "Our war against terrorism is continuing, and we are ready." The courtroom at Baghdad's criminal court was silent Sunday as the presiding judge read out the verdict. It convicted al-Hashemi and his son-in-law, Ahmed Qahtan, of organizing the murders of a Shiite security official and a lawyer who had refused to help the vice president's allies in terror cases. The two defendants were acquitted in a third case of the killing of a security officer due to a lack of evidence.

The court sentenced both men in absentia to death by hanging. They have 30 days to appeal the verdict and could win a retrial if they return to Iraq to face the charges. Al-Hashemi — who has been in office since 2006 - is on Interpol's most-wanted list, but Turkey has shown no interest in sending the vice president back to Baghdad.

The defense team began its closing statement with a searing indictment of Iraq's justice system, accusing it of showing no independence and siding with the Shiite-led government. "From the beginning and through all procedures it has become obvious that the Iraqi judicial system has been under political pressure," attorney Muayad Obeid al-Ezzi, the head of the defense team, told the court.

The presiding judge immediately interjected, warning that that the court would open legal proceedings against the defense team if it continued to heap accusations on the court or the legal system. Reaction to the verdict was largely along sectarian lines on the streets of Baghdad.

Sunni lawyer Abdullah al-Azami called the trial "another farce to be added to the Iraqi judicial system." Shiite pharmacist Khalid Saied, meanwhile, said he supported the verdict and hoped the government would broadcast all the evidence against al-Hashemi "so that the entire world knows him."

Sunday's violence came amid fears that the insurgency has gained new strength after suffering heavy setbacks in U.S. and Iraqi offensives. Four of the attacks targeted Kirkuk, where city police commander Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir blamed the violence on al-Qaida.

The carnage stretched into the country's south, where bombs stuck to two parked cars exploded in the Shiite-dominated city of Nasiriyah, 320 kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Baghdad. The blasts were near the French consulate and a local hotel in the city, although the consulate did not appear to be a target of the attack.

Local deputy health director Dr. Adnan al-Musharifawi said two people were killed and three were wounded at the hotel, and one Iraqi policeman was wounded at the consulate. Al-Musharifawi said no French diplomats were among the casualties. In Paris, France's Foreign Ministry said it "condemns with the greatest severity" the wave of attacks.

A string of smaller attacks Sunday also struck nine other cities. It was one of the worst outbreaks of violence in Iraq in 2012, although the single deadliest day was July 23, which saw at least 115 people killed - the most in more than two years.

Titah highlights better platform to facilitate trade and investment flows across the region's borders . . .

Vladivostok, Russia - The first day of one of the most-anticipated global events kicked off yesterday afternoon as 21 leaders gathered for the 20th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Meeting at the Far Eastern Federal University on Russky Island in Vladivostok to discuss financial issues that are of significance to the region.

With a total of four focus topics that were concentrated on over the last week during other APEC-related meetings that were put forward by Russia as this year's APEC chair, His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam during the opening delivered a titah in which the monarch agreed with what has been highlighted on the list of agenda. And as echoed by many other leaders, His Majesty expressed concern on the current state of the global economy.

A press release issued by the Prime Minister's Office stated that the monarch had described the financial climate as one that "will undermine economic development in the APEC region and the confidence of its people".

It stated that His Majesty had stressed the important role that APEC has to undertake and for the membership to "continue its efforts to promote Regional Economic Integration and keeping their economies open, which would provide APEC a better platform to facilitate trade and investment flows across its borders" when taking into consideration that "APEC can capitalise on APEC's prominence in promoting trade and investment liberalisation" as per the agenda on Russia's four-point list.

The 21-member movement, he said, "has already made good progress in this area", referring to leaders' agreement to extend their commitment that was made last year during the Honolulu APEC against protectionism through a "standstill" until the end of 2015 that Brunei pledges to keep. Efforts made by APEC in undertaking the Supply Chain Connectivity Framework Initiative and those similar to it that aims to see the development of reliable supply chains and reducing costs for APEC's regional trade as well as for its commercial operations with the European Union and other markets were also welcomed by His Majesty.

The monarch noted that this move would ensure that, "in spite of the current global economic situation, APEC region's capacity to facilitate trade and investment across the borders will not be compromised". His Majesty also lauded efforts that are being made by APEC on promoting Green Growth with particular attention to the advancement the environmental goods and services agenda and reducing energy intensity by 45 per cent by 2035 that are, evidently, in line with Brunei's own energy efficiency and conservation effort.

"His Majesty," said the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), "congratulated APEC's decision this year to emphasise efforts at promoting trade and investment at the core of its priorities as His Majesty believed that this is the right way forward to support the global economy and ensuring sustainable growth in the future".

APEC, His Majesty also said, can assist the G-20 "and their tireless endeavour to address this difficult situation" that is the economic crisis with forecasted reports pointing towards minimal growth unless serious action is taken to undermine it.

Leaders were also heard talking about the work done by APEC in realising the Bogor Goals and establishing a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific as a major instrument to further APEC's regional economic integration agenda and also touched upon measures to achieve an APEC wide target of a 10 per cent improvement in supply-chain performance by 2015.

With the recent earthquake in Southwestern China that saw the death toll at 80 with hundreds injured and leaving scores homeless, meanwhile, His Majesty also took the opportunity to express his condolences to the President of the People's Republic of China Hu Jintao who was among one of the leaders present at the Retreat Session One of the meeting.

To Russia represented by its President, Vladimir Putin, His Majesty congratulated the federation's accession to the World Trade Organization. Prior to the commencement of the meeting, His Majesty, in the morning, had consented to attend bilateral meeting with the Republic of Chile's President, Sebastian Pinera where they spoke of issues related to the two-way relationship as well as regional and international matters of mutual concern.

Last night, His Majesty attended, with other leaders, an APEC Leaders' Official Dinner that was hosted by the Russian Federation president to welcome the influential group of individuals that was held at the main reception hall on the university campus.

Today, His Majesty is scheduled to attend the continuation of the APEC meetings.
