Missing Illinois student found dead

July 26, 2006

The body of missing student Ryan Katcher has been found in a truck at the bottom of a lake in Oakwood, Illinois. The 19 year-old, who attended the University of Illinois, went missing on 5 November, 2000 after a party.

Emergency workers found Katcher’s vehicle in about 50 feet of water almost 100 feet off shore in Clear Lake in Kickapoo State Park. They were testing new equipment at the time of the finding. “Basically, ESADE (Emergency Services and Disaster Agency) had purchased some new equipment and was experimenting with it,” a spokesperson said.

County Coroner Peggy Johnson said the black truck's good condition and the lake's cold water preserved Katcher’s body inside for when rescue crews made their discovery.

A spokeswoman for Ryan’s family issued a statement on behalf of his mother, Linda Katcher. "The search for Ryan is over, and she would like to thank everyone for their support and for never giving up. She appreciates everyone’s prayers."

Buffalo, N.Y. city hall evacuated after alarms sound

July 26, 2006

The city hall building in Buffalo, New York was evacuated after fire alarms were activated.

"Smoke detectors went off on the 13th and 27th floors. Among other things we lost all communications out of the building. Something cut off communications, something set off those alarms and cut power to elevators," said Mike Lombardo, Buffalo's fire commissioner.

Police and fire crews arrived on scene to discover a power surge in the 27th floor knocked out all communications between the police and fire departments in the city for nearly two hours. Fire crews had to use emergency stairways to examine the building for fire and evacuees of the 32-story building had to use emergency stairways to evacuate because elevators in the building were not functioning properly.

According to Lombardo, "it looks like we have no fire whatsoever [in the building]" and that all 2,800 workers were allowed to return to work shortly after 12:00 p.m.

"We've been able to re-set things...we feel very confident that there's no other problems," added Lombardo.

No one was injured during the incident.

Hezbollah leader alleges prior Israeli-US planning of current conflict

July 29, 2006

, the leader of, claims that the is the result of an American-Israeli conspiracy to attack Lebanon and gain control over the state as a part of a "new Middle East". In the 28-minute speech on television July 26 Nasrallah alleges that in the project for a new Middle East the United States seeks the removal of all resistance groups that pose a threat to its procurement and control of the area's wealth and resources.

In the June 2 edition of London-based magazine al-Watan al-Arabi it is claimed Hezbollah received intelligence that Olmert had obtained a green light from Bush in the event of an open confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel. That is alleged to have happened in May when Israeli Prime Minister paid his first visit to Washington as head of the state of Israel and met President George W. Bush. Based on that knowledge Hassan Nasrallah delivered a "Strategic Defense Plan," to the National Dialogue Committee (al-Hiwar al-Watani). The plan outlined what Hezbollah should do in the event of an Israeli air, land, or sea assault on Lebanon.

The Hezbollah leader claims in the al-Manar speech that both the United States and Israel planned using the element of surprise to invade Lebanon in late-September early-October. Nasrallah says they discovered this warplan and Hezbollah used the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers to enter into the conflict directly and remove the surprise factor.

According to the an Israeli army officer, at an off-the-record briefing, presented a war plan last year to some Think Tanks in Washington. Several journalists and diplomats were told of Israel's plans for a three-week campaign in Lebanon. There was no plan, according to this scenario, to reoccupy southern Lebanon on a long-term basis. It is not clear if Hezbollah obtained this information.

, professor of political science at, says "Of all of Israel's wars since 1948, this was the one for which Israel was most prepared". Professor Steinberg continued "In a sense, the preparation began in May 2000, immediately after the Israeli withdrawal, when it became clear the international community was not going to prevent Hezbollah from stockpiling missiles and attacking Israel. By 2004, the military campaign scheduled to last about three weeks that we're seeing now had already been blocked out and, in the last year or two, it's been simulated and rehearsed across the board."

According to, a french speaking Algerian newpsaper, and , head of , met secretly the 17 and 18 of June at the  's Conférence of the American Enterprise Institute. Dick Cheney give his agreement to Israel to destroy and. Netanyahu reported to.

Obrador declares himself President, plans protests

July 27, 2006

Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who lost the vote count to his rival Felipe Calderon by 0.57%, declared victory in the elections and vowed that he and his supporters will continue protesting. "I am already president," he said in a television interview "I won the presidential election. I am president of Mexico by the will of the majority of Mexicans."

Protests in favour of Obrador have grown increasingly confrontational. This week, protestors marched in front of the Mexican stock exchange, blockading the entrance. Obrador is expected to announce a campaign of civil disobedience at a rally in central Mexico City on Sunday. He and his supporters are pressuring Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal to issue a recount of every vote cast in the election.

Presidential Candidate Obrador believes that President Vicente Fox and Presidential Candidate Calderon are responsible for what he believes to be election fraud.

Calderon has rejected Obrador's call for a recount, saying that the election was fair.

A man wielding a machete entered a Penrose, Auckland gun shop, Small Arms International, this morning at about 10.00 a.m. The man was shot in the stomach by a pistol, he is now in a stable condition after being taken to hospital for surgery.

Allegedly the shooter was the store manager, who is the son of the owner of the gun shop. The owner, Ray Carvell, said that his son "feared for his life. [My] son was clearly terrified and acted in self defence."

New Zealand Police are speaking to four witnesses.

Simon Scott, Detective Senior Sargeant, said "police have yet to decide if there is any criminal liability."

Talk:Hezbollah leader alleges prior Israeli-US planning of current conflict

NPOV

 * This article is speculative and the opinion of one side. Have these "war plans" been released to media? If not, there is no basis of proof to this story. Ealturner 12:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

"More than a year ago, a senior Israeli army officer began giving PowerPoint presentations, on an off-the-record basis, to U.S. and other diplomats, journalists and think tanks, setting out the plan for the current operation in revealing detail." This proves(?) that Hezbollah did not uncover any top secret plans and also proves that this isn't speculative. I've made a mention of the first argument in a paragraph. --Jambalaya 14:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That proves nothing. For "proof" you need a copy of the original powerpoint presentation, a video of the presentation, a copy of original notes taken by journalist at the "off the record" briefing.

The article rests on a secondary source claim: //According to the San Francisco Chronicle an Israeli army officer, at an off-the-record briefing, presented a war plan last year.//

There is no factual basis to this article. It is POV. Ealturner 19:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 * plan reported in SF chronicle appears to have a particular objective: knockout hezbollah military capabilities. the closest sourced statement we have is the quote from Gerald Steinberg, professor of political science at Bar-Ilan University. "In a sense, the preparation began in May 2000, immediately after the Israeli withdrawal, when it became clear the international community was not going to prevent Hezbollah from stockpiling missiles and attacking Israel." i think we shld include it, and perhaps also mention the Israeli official statement on the objectives of the actual conflict. Doldrums 01:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Motive to kidnap soldiers
Commenting on the article's statement that: "Nasrallah says they discovered this warplan and Hezbollah used the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers to enter into the conflict directly and remove the surprise factor."

After Listening to Nasrallahs' speeches in Arabic, he does not say that. He says that based on world reaction, comments of world leaders, and events, it is aparent that this war was pre-planned. He says they were fortunate (or lucky) to have kidnapped the soldiers before Israel actually carried out its plan to attack Lebanon, as this gives them advantage, and has taken away the element of surprise from Israel.
 * Then this sorce, which most of article is based on, is bad.

Can you say if it is a case of bad interpretation or maybe intentional? international 00:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC) (its easier to keep discussion if you sign your comments, 4 ~ (tildes) make it good)

i added a source in french
I know that sources not in english are not welcome here.(even if foreign language sources would be added for the sack of neutality as sources are not always english speaking people ... i know it's strange ;) but this article give some POV from a north african country, Algeria. For those reading french it could be interresting to be read. Jacques Divol 12:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ayman al-Zawahiri warns: Israel will "pay the price" for attacking muslims

July 27, 2006

Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second in command, has released a new videotape calling for a holy war against the "Zionists and crusaders" and saying that "the war with Israel does not depend on ceasefires."

"Oh Muslims everywhere, I call on you to fight and become martyrs in the war against the Zionists and the crusaders. The war with Israel does not depend on ceasefires... It is a jihad for God's sake and will last until religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq. My fellow Muslims, it is obvious that Arab and Islamic governments are not only impotent but also complicit...and you are alone on the battlefield. Rely on God and fight your enemies...make yourselves martyrs," said Zawahiri.

Zawahiri also said that the entire planet is an "open battlefield," and that "we [al-Qaeda] will attack everywhere." He claimed that the rockets Israel is using to take out Hezbollah are supplied by the "countries of the crusader coalition. Since they are attacking us everywhere, we will attack everywhere," he said. "We cannot just watch these shells as they burn our brothers in Gaza and Lebanon and stand by idly, humiliated," Zawahiri added.

In the video, an image of the burning World Trade Center towers could be seen in the background and the images of two other militants, Mohammed Atta and Mohammed Atef, were also present.

Zawahiri also makes reference to the three Israeli soldiers that were kidnapped saying, "The 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel's prisons do not move anything while three Israeli prisoners have shaken the world."

This is the tenth message Zawahiri has made since the beginning of 2006.

Talk:Ayman al-Zawahiri warns: Israel will "pay the price" for attacking muslims

In new video, Ayman al-Zawahiri warns that Israel will "pay the price" for attacking muslims, calls for holy war

calls for holy war - not news considering the source

In new video - essential? Usually al qaeda statements are made by tape or on video.

How about

 * Done :) MyName 22:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

title length
please try to retain short titles. in this case, Zawahiri's first name is not headline matter. he's been calling for holy war for more than a decade, i think, and this is not new news. unless the words "pay a price" is believed to be significant (and this significance is explained in the article), it too can be left out. Doldrums 04:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * None of what he's said is new news. It's repetition i.e. propaganda. I can justify this article on the fact that it shows Zawahiri has not yet met the underside of a daisycutter. Ealturner 10:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein to learn his fate in October

July 27, 2006

The trial of Saddam Hussein has been adjourned until 16 October, which is when the is expected to pronounce its judgment.

Hussein and seven co-defendants are on trial charged with after Hussein allegedly ordered his military forces to kill 148 people from the village of  following an attempted assassination of the former Iraqi leader in 1982.

Prosecutors at the trial want the death penalty for Hussein and two co-defendants. At a hearing yesterday, Hussein said that if he was found guilty and condemned to die, he would prefer to be shot rather than hanged. He also claimed that he had been taken to court against his will.

The former dictator did not appear in court for the final session of his trial today, but he is due to stand trial on 21 August to judge his part in the infamous, where groups of Iraqi were murdered in the 1980s.

As Hussein's defense team has been boycotting the trial demanding better security after three of their numbers were murdered, the court has selected replacement lawyers. Iraq’s former Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan, today refused to allow the appointed representative to stand for him. "I do not know who this lawyer is or his name," he said. The other defendant was Awad Hamad al-Bandar, the former chief judge of the court.

Like he did yesterday, Judge Raouf Abdel Rahman again slated Hussein’s defense lawyers for avoiding the court. "They're sitting abroad now generating fame by issuing political statements on television stations as if this case is a political one. This behavior will harm you, the defendants. This is a criminal case, not a political one," Mr Rahman warned. Most of Hussein's legal team is based in Amman, the capital of Jordan.

His trial started in Baghdad on 19 October 2005.

Hamas denies that release of Israeli soldier is "imminent"

July 27, 2006

Hamas has denied claims made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, 19, captured on June 25, will be released.

"Nothing has changed in the case of the Israeli soldier. The file remains in the hands of the resistance factions and not in the hands of any politician even if that politician is Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas]. We heard this news from the press and our stance remains as it was: The case is in the hands of resistance fighters," said spokesman for the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida.

Ubaida also said that handing over the soldier doesn't come "free. No politician dares to demand handing the soldier over without a return."

Abbas was quoted as saying earlier in a press conference, held in Rome, by an Italian translator that talks were leading to an "imminent solution" that would allow for the release of the soldier. "With regards to the issue of the abducted Israeli soldier, I have reiterated that there are ongoing efforts that lead us to believe in an imminent solution. I hope that the soldier is in good health and can soon return to his family," said Abbas, according to the official Italian translator.

However; the Associated press quoted Abbas as saying that "intense negotiations" were taking place.

DHS funds research targeting anonymity and blogs

July 27, 2006

The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced the awarding of a $3 million grant to Rutgers University to lead a consortium researching advanced information analysis and computational technologies to protect the United States.

Under the agreement, Rutgers will also coordinate a team of four university-based centers at the University of Southern California, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Pittsburgh. Plans call for a total of $10.2 million in funding over three years for Rutgers and these institutions to advance efforts aimed at identifying common patterns from numerous sources of information. According to Fred Roberts, director of Rutgers' Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), the efforts will "develop real-time streaming algorithms to find patterns and relationships in communications, such as among writers who may be hiding their identities, and to rate information sources for their reliability and trustworthiness." The computer applications developed by the program will focus on analyzing data from public sources, including news stories, open-source web logs, and other accessible information, to quickly identify emerging indicators of possible terrorist activity.

Tube train evacuated after a landslide in west London

July 27, 2006

Six hundred Tube passengers had to be moved to safety in west London tonight after a landslide close to a station on the London Underground.

Commuters on board an eastbound Piccadilly Line train at Boston Manor Station were evacuated after around four tonnes of debris landed on the tracks. The train collided with the rubble, but London Underground said the train stayed on the tracks. There are no reports of any injuries. Due to inspections of damage caused, the Piccadilly Line has been suspended between Northfields and Heathrow. London Underground said all of the train's passengers were led off onto the platform at Boston Manor within 15 minutes.

A spokeswoman said: "London Underground is currently assessing the impact of an embankment landslip between Boston Manor and Northfields. Initial indications are that three to four tonnes of debris has ended up on the track. An eastbound Piccadilly Line train came into contact with the debris at Boston Manor station."

A replacement bus service is operating between Northfields and Heathrow. Tube tickets can also be used on Heathrow Connect rail services from Ealing Broadway.

Staff at London Underground are trying to clear the debris overnight in the hope of resuming service on the line on Friday morning.

Talk:DHS funds research targeting anonymity and blogs

This article should be balanced by mentioning privacy-issues. --82.141.50.133 20:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

wondering how
It is clear there are privacy issues, but I'm wondering how to add them to the story without other sources to include.

The ShadowMonkey site referenced has some commentary included, but I'm not sure if that would fall within the 'neutral point of view' mandate.
 * Blogs are, at best, a troublesome source - which I think is what Shadow Monkey qualifies as. One of the many places where you are free to openly speculate is Slashdot, you could cite our story then add your commentary or questions.  That approach does have the headache of people trying to introduce the commentary/editorial here (or just plain vandalising), but it also brings in new readers and contributors.  Not all contributions to the wiki need be on the site. ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 21:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Eh?
I think it's a little too biased to state they are "targeting anonymity and blogs", at least from the state of the article. --66.227.194.89 03:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Akshriv. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Akshriv~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Hi. I have noticed that U.S. Senate ratifies international treaty on cybercrime, an article you have written mostly, is listed for deletion. I checked its history and other related information, and came to think that the article is not abandoned or needs any further editorial clean-up. But I was not sure if the article is okay in terms of copyright. Could you possibly comment on the issue here: Deletion_requests?

Thank you for your attention. Tomos 04:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called LazLong. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name LazLong~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Loughlin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Loughlin~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
