  BOUNTY FOR TALIBAN LEADER (who had malala shot)                                          
KARACHI: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has offered a $1 million bounty for Ehsanullah Eshan, the central spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack on 14-year-old activist Malala Yousufzai’s life.
Speaking to CNN in an interview late Monday, Malik said that security agencies were investigating the attack and hunting down those whose involvement had been ascertained.
“All our law enforcers, intelligence agencies are hunting all those who were involved. I have got some other names which I would not like to mention on record because it may damage the investigation. But let me (as)sure my Pakistani nation, and the entire world, that we will get them very soon,” the interior minister told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
Malik said that according to details unearthed in the probe, the assassination attempt on Malala was planned in Afghanistan.
“Four people came from there. … One of the guys, we have identified and (a) few of his associates have been arrested. One of – the fiancee of one of the terrorists has been detained, and all possible leads which we have developed … we are following it,” said Malik, vowing to hold all those responsible to account “very soon.”
Moreover, the interior minister affirmed that the government was providing security to Malala’s family and to two other girls also wounded in the same attack.
Malik says ‘Radio Mullah’ new Pakistani Taliban chief
Later on Tuesday, the interior minister said that intelligence reports suggested that powerful militant commander “Radio Mullah” Fazlullah was being made the central leader of the militant umbrella group the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
“We have reports that Mullah Fazlullah was being made the chief of the TTP,” Malik told reporters in Mingora, Swat. He said that the reason Fazlullah was being made leader was that current chief Hakimullah Mehsud had been ‘underground’ and inactive, and had not been commanding most of the operations of the TTP.
Fazlullah is the chief of the Swat Taliban, which previously had control over the Swat region and is believed to have melted away across the border following a Pakistani military offensive in 2009. Fazlullah is now believed to be based in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.
A spokesman for the Swat Taliban had claimed that two killers from Fazlullah’s special hit squad had been sent to target young schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai. The spokesman had further threatened to kill the girl’s father following the failed assassination attempt on the girl’s life.
Malik visited the house of Kainat, one of the girls injured during the attack on Malala in Swat. The interior minister added that three platoons of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) would be named after the three girls – Malala, Kainat and Shazia.
He also said that the government would confer a Sitara-i-Shujaat (Medal of Courage) award on Malala for her activism for girls’ education and peace despite dangers to her life.

A small plane crashed in the Tucson Mountain District northwest of Avra Valley last night, killing the pilot, said Deputy Tom Peine, spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
No one else was on the plane.
Between 7:30 and 8:30 Sunday night the Federal Aviation Administration lost radar contact with the plane and contacted Customs and Border Protection to start a search via Black Hawk helicopter. The plane was found in a rugged area about 45 miles outside of Tucson, Peine said. He does not know what time the wreckage was spotted.
“That plane hit the ground hard,” Peine said. “It shattered into about a million pieces.”
Investigators, so far, have been unable to identify the pilot

CODY Wyo (Montana man ARRESTED for Kidnapping 11 yr old Girl )

CODY, Wyo. (AP) — A Montana man faces charges of kidnapping and assaulting an 11-year-old girl in Wyoming after police said he lured her into his car by saying he needed help finding a missing puppy, court records obtained Monday state.

Jesse Paul Speer, 39, was taken into custody Saturday in Belgrade, Mont., and held for Wyoming authorities. He faces extradition on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony use of a weapon, the records state.

Speer's bond was set at $2 million and he was expected to make a court appearance later Monday in Bozeman.

Authorities looked into a possible connection between the case and the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway, a 10-year-old girl in Colorado, but now say they don't think the cases are related. Jessica's body was found in a park about 7 miles from her suburban Denver home on Wednesday. No arrests have been made.

Speer approached the victim and other children in Cody on Oct. 8, police Detective Jonathan Beck wrote in a statement. When the girl refused to get in his vehicle, Speer pulled a pistol on her and motioned her into his SUV.

Beck wrote that Speer drove the girl to a church parking lot and tied her hands behind her back. He told her to keep down as he drove through town, hitting her once on the head with the gun when she tried to raise it.

"The victim told the suspect that she knew that he was going to rape her, and the suspect responded that she wasn't going to get hurt," Cody Police Chief Perry Rockvam told reporters Monday.

He then drove the girl to a mountainous area outside of Cody, where he assaulted her, Beck said in the statement, which was filed written to support felony charges in state court in Cody.

Rockvam said the man then put a cloth bag over her head and released her, telling her to count to 50 before she turned around. Passing elk hunters found the girl, dressed lightly in the mountainous area, and took her to safety, he said.

14 yr OLD Girl ( Malala Yousafzai Airlifted to ENGLAND) Real life ' Princess Leah'

The 14-year-old activist who was shot in the head by Taliban gunman has been airlifted to Birmingham, England, to get more advanced medical care. Doctors in Pakistan were able to remove a bullet from the skull of Malala Yousafzai, but there was extensive damage to the bones in her head that will need to be repaired and she will also need "intensive neuro rehabilitation." On Sunday, Al Jazeera reported that her chance for survival was slim, but she was apparently stable enough to handle the flight to England.

Moving her out of the country will also presumably make her safer as well. The Taliban has promised to attack her again, should she survive, as retaliation for writing that criticized the groups actions in the Swat Valley where her father runs one of the few schools that allows female students. Despite the protests in support of Malala, violence in the region has not abated. A large group of Taliban fighters attacked a police station in Northwest Pakistan, killing at least five officers and beheading a local police chief. The gun battle lasted for several hours and the police station and several vehicles were burned before attackers fled the town of Matni, near the city of Peshawar.

VENEZUELA NEWS ( Victory for Hugo Chavez)

Last night we were squashed and pushed as the crowd surged into the Miraflores Palace to hear Chavez’s victory speech. People were so happy, they didn’t mind their feet being trodden on, the humidity of the air and the sweat of bodies and all the standing up, they were exuberant and they shouted and danced and jumped up and down and yelled out to strangers and threw beer up in the air, and even a few shoes. Yet, among them, I felt a bit down, because the results were quite close, because over six million people supported, by voting for Capriles, selfishness (he had focused his campaign on Venezuela ending its solidarity with other countries) and the destruction and sale of their country.

With most votes counted, Chavez won with 8,044,106 votes, or 55.11% to Capriles’ 6,461,612 (44.27%) for a difference of 1,582,494 votes, or almost 11%. Chavez also won (according to the results as they are today) in 21 states and the Capital District (Caracas), and lost to Capriles in Merida and Tachira states,. He won in Zulia and Carabobo- where there are currently opposition governors. No one voted for the other candidates, with third place going to Reina Sequera with 0.47% of the vote.

PAKISTAN (Car Bomb KILLS 17) A REBEL Force fueled by 14 yr old GIRL refuses to back down

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A car bomb tore through a crowded bazaar outside an office for anti-Taliban tribal elders Saturday in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 17 people, officials said.

The blast in the town of Darra Adam Khel was the latest to strike the troubled area near the Afghan border, showing militants still pose a threat to the stability of key U.S. ally Pakistan despite government offensives against the Taliban and their supporters.

No group immediately claimed responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have staged similar attacks in the tribal region of Darra Adam Khel to punish elders for backing security forces in offensives against militants.

Rebel force followers refuse to give  in to "Taliban threats"!

The explosives-laden car was parked near the office of one of the so-called peace committees that have been formed by local elders trying to rid the area of militants, regional government administrator Fakhruddin Khan said.

It was unclear how many people were in the office at the time, but Khan said those killed included tribal elders and passers-by.

He said 40 people also were wounded and the attack destroyed 35 shops and eight vehicles. The dead and wounded, including some in critical condition, had been transported to hospitals in the northwestern city of Peshawar.

Tuba City (Man charged in homicide) Navajo reservation

Federal prosecutors have charged a man with second-degree murder in the death of a woman near Tuba City on the Navajo reservation.

Steven Begaye had his initial appearance Thursday in U.S. Magistrate Court in Flagstaff.
He’s accused in a criminal complaint of killing the 58-year-old woman by punching her in the stomach, dumping her body at Black Mesa and then using a broken beer bottle to cut her.
Begaye told authorities that he had become angry at the woman because she was making sexual advances toward him.
Authorities haven’t identified the woman. They say she likely was killed in mid-September, but her body wasn’t found until last week.
A medical examiner listed the cause of death as homicidal violence.

POLAND (LIFTS ban on Hard Liquor) Bootlegging operation gone bad

Poland, Slovakia Lift Bans on Czech Hard Liquor

PRAGUE--Polish and Slovak authorities on Tuesday canceled their nation's respective bans on imports and sales of hard alcohol from the Czech Republic, according to news reports in both countries.

Polish news portal Newsweek.pl and Slovak daily newspaper SME reported that agriculture ministers in both countries have lifted the ban after Czech authorities last week determined the source and distributors of alcohol poisoned with methanol.

At least 25 people have died from the tainted, bootleg alcohol in the Czech Republic and at least five people suffered the same fate in Poland.

Czech authorities also had a ban on hard-alcohol exports and on the sale of all liquors and spirits with alcohol content of more than 20%.

The Czechs have arrested dozens of people involved in the illegal bootlegging operation gone awry and are now gradually implementing new safety measures while also slowly lifting sales and export bans.

POLICE officer ( Not charged for beating dog to death) Navajo County

                                                                    SICK STORY

No criminal charges will be filed against the Flagstaff police officer who used his baton, boot and a cable to kill an injured dog in Sunnyside in August.

Officials with the Navajo County Attorney's Office said that there was insufficient evidence to pursue prosecution in the case of the Cpl. John Tewes.
"This includes, but is not limited to, the fact that there is insufficient evidence of a culpable mental state for prosecution," Deputy Navajo County Attorney Michael Tunink wrote in a letter to Flagstaff police Tuesday. "If additional evidence is submitted, I will, of course, review my decision at that time."
Prosecutors have also decided against pursuing charges that Tewes made threatening statements about his ex-wife.
POLICY VIOLATIONS
However, Flagstaff Chief of Police Kevin Treadway said that the criminal charges were only one part of their investigation. He said Tewes violated numerous department policies.
An internal investigation in the case has been completed, but is still waiting on one last piece of information before action is taken. Officials did not specify what information they were waiting for.
The chief will decide what action to take once the internal affairs investigation is finalized.
According to the report by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office, an officer was driving through Sunnyside on Aug. 19 when a loose dog darted out in front of his car at about 2:30 a.m. and was seriously injured. The officer called Tewes for help, and when he showed up, the two decided that the dog should be euthanized.
But Tewes was concerned about using his gun in the neighborhood.

ENDING SUFFERING
Tewes later told investigators he regularly clubbed animals to end their suffering while he was hunting, and he thought he would be able to kill the dog quickly with his baton.
Tewes tried again and again to bludgeon the dog to death, but it didn't die. He then tried to jump on the dog's head and cave in its skull, but that also didn't kill it. Eventually, after some 20 to 30 minutes of trying to kill the dog, he used a hobble, which is like a metal cable, to try to strangle the dog. It took several tries before the dog died.
"Tewes stated that he was thinking that he could not believe the dog wasn't dead yet, and it was the most bizarre thing," the sheriff's office report stated.
He told investigators he didn't ask other officers for advice about other methods because he thought he knew how to do it.
The dog's body was left in between two vehicles behind the police station and later stored in a freezer at the Humane Association. The owners didn't find out what had happened to their dog for five days after the event.
Treadway said it wasn't immediately clear to officials whether the dog owner had been notified or where the dog owner lived. A neighbor had approached Tewes while the dog was alive and pointed out the dog owner's home

COLORADO (Police still work to ID Dismembered body) Missing Girl

• Enlarge Photo
  Jessica Ridgeway, 10, who vanished …

WESTMINSTER, Colo. (Reuters) - The search for a 10-year-old Colorado girl who authorities believe was abducted on her way to school has led to the discovery of a dismembered body at a park several miles from where the fifth-grader vanished, police said on Thursday.

But Westminster Police Inspector Trevor Materasso said authorities have not confirmed if the body is that of Jessica Ridgeway, who went missing on her way to school six days ago.

"The process is complicated because the body is not intact," Materasso said, declining to elaborate. He said authorities may release the identity of the body on Friday.

Jessica Ridgeway vanished last Friday after leaving for school in the Denver suburb of Westminster.

Her mother, Sarah Ridgeway, said she last saw her daughter when the girl left home for the short walk to school.

A night-shift worker, Sarah Ridgeway said she sleeps during the day and did not hear the phone call from the school notifying her that Jessica was absent, so it was several hours before she was reported missing.

U.S Anti Doping Agency (11 Former teammates give details about Drugs) Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong challenged the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to name names and show what it had on him.

On Wednesday, it did.

The anti-doping group released a report on its case against Armstrong — a point-by-point roadmap of the lengths it says Armstrong went to in winning seven Tour de France titles USADA has ordered taken away.

In more than 150 pages filled with allegations, USADA names 11 former teammates — George Hincapie, Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis among them — as key witnesses.

It details the way those men and others say drugs were delivered and administered to Armstrong's teams. It discusses Armstrong's continuing relationship with and payments to a doctor, Michele Ferrari, years after Ferrari has been sanctioned in Italy and Armstrong claimed to have broken ties with him.

It presents as matter-of-fact reality that winning and doping went hand in hand in cycling and that Armstrong's teams were the best at getting it done without getting caught. He won the Tour as leader of the U.S. Postal Service team from 1999-2004 and again in 2005 with the Discovery Channel as the primary sponsor.

Navajo NATION ( 4 murdered in 12 hour period) Police ask for help

Four people were found murdered in the Kayenta area in one 12-hour period that started on Thursday night and stretched into Friday.
The four victims were killed in three separate and unrelated incidents, according to information from the FBI.
“To have four murders in one district in 12 hours would probably be unusual in New York City, so to have that many murders in the Kayenta District is unusual,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge MacDonald Rominger.
The small community on the Navajo Nation is about 25 miles south of Monument Valley and has a population of around 5,200.
The first homicide was reported on Thursday night in Kayenta, with one victim reported dead at the scene and another transported to the Flagstaff Medical Center for treatment. The second two homicide reports came in almost simultaneously on Friday, according to FBI officials.

Two people were killed in an apparent double-homicide at Inscription House and the other suspected homicide was reported at Black Mesa.
All of the murders were within the Kayenta District. FBI officials say they are now working with the Kayenta Police Department and the Kayenta Department of Criminal Investigations to track down leads.
“We have no one in custody in any one of the three homicide cases, but we’re tracking down all logical leads at the present time and were awaiting some further information from the medical examiner’s office,” said Rominger.

PAKISTAN ( 14 yr old GIRL more COURAGE then most ADULTS) Malala Yousufzai

Taliban Say They Shot 14-Year-Old Pakistani Girl Who Exposed Their Cruelty

by Mark Memmott, National Public Radio

October 9, 2012

"Shooting attacks happen every day in Pakistan," as NPR's Philip Reeves reports from Islamabad.
But the shooting of a 14-year-old girl who became nationally known after she documented the Taliban's cruelty in Pakistan's Swat Valley has caused particular shock in that country, he tells our Newscast Desk.
The Pakistani Taliban are claiming their fighters carried out today's attack. According to Philip, "officials say Malala Yousufzai was outside her school when a gunman approached, and opened fire, injuring her and at least one other child."

Pakistan's Dawn newspaper says it has been told by a spokesman for the Taliban that the girl was targeted for spreading "anti-Taliban and 'secular' thoughts among the youth of the area." Malala, Dawn says, was "hit by couple of bullets to her neck and head." While hospitalized, she is said to be "out of danger." She may, though, need to be sent overseas for treatment.
The Taliban reportedly say they'll target her again.

As Philip reminds us, "Malala is a national figure. She lives in Swat Valley and was there several years ago when the Taliban took control and began burning down girls' schools. The Pakistani army rolled in, in 2009, to retake the area. Malala wrote an anonymous diary, broadcast on the BBC, about life under the Taliban. She advocated education for girls, and defied the militants' ban on this by secretly going to school with her books hidden in her clothes. Her bravery was recognized last year when she was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize."

SAN DIEGO( MOTHER gets 15 yrs in prison for beating 9 yr old to DEATH) Crystal Cardenas

San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenie Eyherabide sentenced Crystal Cardenas, 27, for the second-degree murder of Elizabeth Holloway.

 

Faced with a torrent of scorn and anger from family members in the downtown courtroom, Cardenas bowed her head and cried at times.

Elizabeth’s father, Willie Holloway Jr., wiped tears from his eyes, looked at Cardenas and told her, “I don’t know how you could do this to her. I just want justice. I’m going to leave it in God’s hands.”

He then turned and bolted from the room.

His father, Willie Holloway Sr., told the judge he felt partly to blame for not knowing what was happening to his granddaughter.

“Who would stoop that low to do that,” he said.
