Afghanistan ( 8 people killed in a suicide attack in Ghazni )

KABUL – Eight people, including a police commander, were killed and seven others wounded Friday in a suicide attack in the central province of Ghazni, Afghan news agency AIP said, citing officials.

The attack took place at 4:00 p.m. at the main market in Qarabagh district, the province’s deputy governor, Muhamad Ali Ahmadi, told AIP.

Qarabagh police chief Daulat Khan was the target, Ahmadi said.

“The suicide (attacker) was riding a motorcycle and detonated the explosive charge when he was next to Daulat Khan. Khan, his four guards and three civilians died,” the deputy governor said.

All seven of the wounded are civilians.

Violence continues to rage in Afghanistan nearly a dozen years after the U.S. invasion that toppled the Taliban.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force is scheduled to complete its withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. EFE

Pakistan ( 39 people killed in a bombing in a crowded market )

ISLAMABAD – Thirty-nine people were killed and more than 100 others wounded Friday when two bombs were detonated at a crowded market in the northwestern town of Parachinar, Pakistan’s Dawn television reported, citing official sources.

The bombs, which were placed at opposite ends of the market, went off within an interval of around 4 minutes.

Parachinar is the seat of Kurram, one of the seven Tribal Agencies located along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan.

The attack came as the market was packed with people shopping for food to prepare the “iftar” meal that breaks the daytime fast observed by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.

Never fully under the control of Islamabad, the Tribal Agencies have become a haven for the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, al-Qaeda members and other Muslim militants.

The tribal region’s substantial population of Shi’ite Muslims is frequently the target of sectarian attacks by fundamentalist followers of the majority Sunni strand of Islam. EFE

MIAMI U.S Court ( “Queen of the Pacific” Sandra Avila Beltran free " Woman " )

MIAMI – A U.S. judge on Thursday sentenced a Mexican woman known as the “Queen of the Pacific” to time served after she pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to drug trafficking.

Sandra Avila Beltran, 52, left Miami’s federal courthouse a free woman, at least technically, though her next destination is an immigration detention center where she will await deportation back to Mexico.

The sentence handed down by the judge – 70 months – is equal to the amount of time Avila has already spent behind bars since her September 2007 arrest in Mexico.

She was facing up to 15 years in prison.

The defendant, clad in a beige prison uniform and with shackles on her ankles, embraced her lawyer after the judge read the sentence.

While happy not to be prison-bound, Avila is sad about the entire experience because she “was never involved in drug trafficking,” defense attorney Stephen Ralls told reporters outside the courthouse.

Under an agreement with federal prosecutors, Avila pleaded guilty in April to having assisted her then-boyfriend, Colombian national Juan Diego Espinosa, between June 2002 and March 2004 as he attempted to evade arrest for drug trafficking.

Though acquitted in Mexico on drug and racketeering charges, Espinosa and Avila were both extradited to the United States.

Avila’s plans now are to return to her family in Guadalajara, Ralls said.

Avila is the niece of Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, alias “El Padrino” (The Godfather), who is serving a long prison sentence in Mexico; and grand-niece of Juan Jose Quintero Payan, a co-founder of the Juarez cartel who was sentenced in the United States to 18 years in prison on drug trafficking charges.

The first public mention of the Queen of the Pacific came in a 2004 “narcocorrido,” or drug ballad, by Los Tucanes de Tijuana.

Mexican media have likened Avila to the main character in Spanish writer Arturo Perez-Reverte’s novel “La Reina del Sur” (The Queen of the South), which was subsequently turned into a hit television miniseries. EFE
