KARACHI, Pakistan A suspected militant who blew himself up in southern Pakistan during a raid by security forces was carrying a U.S. and a Pakistani passport, authorities said Saturday.
According to a statement by Pakistan's paramilitary Rangers, the dead man has been identified as Saeed Abdul Salam. He detonated an explosive device Thursday when troops raided his apartment in the port city of Karachi.
Post-mortem tests on Salam's body confirmed the man died due to the explosion of a hand grenade, it said, adding "documents used for acts of terrorism were also recovered" from his possession.
The U.S. Embassy could not immediately confirm the development.
The Rangers' statement said Salam had divorced his wife a month ago and was living with four children, who were unharmed. According to Salam's passport, he had traveled to many countries, the statement said.
Rebecca Zahau suicide case will NOT be reopened after police brand Dr Phil autopsy as 'sensationalism'
(STATES SHERIFF GORE) The results of a second autopsy on Rebecca Zahau, who was found hanging naked from a balcony at her lover's mansion, have not convinced police to reopen the case. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said the autopsy provided no new information. A pathologist hired by Ms Zahau's family told the Dr Phil show yesterday that he doubted she killed herself at her partner Jonah Shacknai's luxury home in San Diego.
Dr Wecht said he was particularly troubled by findings in both autopsies that Miss Zahau had suffered blows to the top of her head, indicated by four separate haemorrhages beneath the scalp. He said such an injury pointed to the possibility that she was knocked unconscious with a blunt object and could explain why police said there was no sign of a struggle at the scene. Dr Wecht said he was also puzzled as to why Miss Zahau's neck was not broken by the force of her fall from the balcony. He said the way in which Miss Zahau would have had to tie herself up was possible, but implausible

CALDWELL, Ohio (AP) — A judge issued a gag order Friday on behalf of a juvenile suspect in the killing of one man and the wounding of another who had responded to a phony job ad on Craigslist.
The boy's attorney sought to stop authorities and prosecutors from speaking about what the lawyer described as a "highly sensational" case. Noble County Sheriff Stephen Hannum said in an email Friday that he would release no information due to the gag order.
Cadaver dogs found the body of a Florida man this week in a grave in a remote area outside Caldwell, a small village about 80 miles east of Columbus, after a jobseeker from South Carolina was shot but ran away through the woods, the sheriff said.
Two men were taken into custody, but no names have been released. The Akron Beacon Journal identified the suspects as a 52-year-old man from Akron, about 90 miles away, and a 16-year-old student from Stow-Munroe Falls High School in the Akron area. The sheriff declined to confirm that in an earlier email on Friday, before the gag order was issued.
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) November 12, 2011 - Young, female, Native-American filmmaker Carrie Madariaga is breaking barriers with non-stereotypical roles created her own material, crafting characters who are proving to be relatable and able to transcend all cultures, and the industry is taking notice. Her directorial debut, a live action short titled Ruser, is appearing at the Skins Film Festival on November 19, 2011 at the Wells Fargo Theater- Autry Nat'l Center, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027
While her film's title, Ruser, comes from "to ruse" meaning "a trick," Madariaga says there's no trick for success or substitution for hard work. "I was tired of waiting around for good Native American roles which were few and far between. I decided to take the reigns of my career, break some barriers, and work hard to change the stereotypical perception of Native Americans in TV and film," Madariaga says.
The 5th Annual LA Skins Fest, celebrating new and exciting films from Indian country this year, felt Madariaga's film was a perfect fit. Ruser follows the thrilling story of Sam Kruse, a man who meets a female scientist named Coda (Madariaga) who is not who she seems. Coda has fallen into a web of deceit, drugs, and murder and is part of a radical Native splinter group that believes a virus could be used as a weapon as it was in the past. Kruse finds himself trying desperately to stay one step ahead of a killer who's targeting scientists developing a hybrid retrovirus aka Smallpox.
Under the banner of Draws The Line Films, LLC, Madariaga is currently developing a hilarious three part web series called Edge Falls. . No stranger to comedy, the actress who made her TV debut on "Weeds," says the three part web series is about the life of 20 somethings living on today's reservation. "Think Friends on a Reservation," she laughs.
Showcasing her versatility, Madariaga, who studied Journalism at the University London Union and acting at The Stella Adler Academy in LA, is also developing a Native American sitcom Eagle Falls. No stranger to comedy, the actress who made her TV debut on "Weeds," says the three part web series is about the life of 20 somethings living on today's reservation.
