BAGHDAD, Sept 14 (Reuters) – Iraq said on Sunday it would prosecute a politician who made a trip to Israel and angry parliamentarians voted to strip him of his legal immunity.
Members of parliament said Mithal al-Alusi had committed a crime by “visiting a country that Iraq considers an enemy”, in breach of a law they said had been retained since the rule of late dictator Saddam Hussein.
Like most Arab countries, Iraq has no diplomatic relations with Israel, but it is not clear exactly what the law says about visiting it. Alusi made a trip there earlier this month for a conference on terrorism and security.
“In the name of the government and prime minister, we reject this visit which violated the law and provoked the feelings of the Iraqi people. The government will take all legal measures against this person,” minister for parliamentary affairs Safaaeddine al-Safi told the assembly.

Pakistan Army Ordered to Retaliate Against US Raids

All this talk flying around about going into Pakistan to chase down Al Qaeda leaders is getting Pakistan’s attention: Pak army to retaliate if US conducts raids.
The Pakistan Army has been ordered to retaliate against any action by foreign troops inside the country, army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said on Friday.
General Abbas’ statement came as top brass of the Pakistan Army in their meeting on second day fully endorsed their chief’s warning that no country would be allowed to violate Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A press release issued after the 111th Corps Commanders Conference quoted General Ashfaq Kayani as saying that “all elements of the National Power under the new democratic leadership will safeguard the territorial integrity of Pakistan with full support and backing of the people of Pakistan.”

Outrage over ‘Muslim Massacre’ computer game

The Muzzies are mad at this! I hope this game comes out in America, I will buy it soon.
A computer game in which players battle to wipe out all Muslims is ‘deeply offensive’ and should be removed from the internet, furious members of an Islamic group say.
Muslim Massacre involves taking control of an gung-ho ‘American Hero’ armed with a machine gun and a rocket launcher.
He is parachuted into a Middle Eastern country with the aim of ‘leaving no Muslim man or woman alive’.
Players progress through the levels, targeting characters dressed as terrorists and civilians, before taking on Osama bin Laden, Mohammed and finally Allah.
This game looks cool!

Never Forget

It’s been seven years since the terrorist attacks on a bright blue September 11 morning.
On this day we bear witness to the human beings whose lives were taken in a fiery act of jihad: the people in the airplanes, the people in the towers and in the Pentagon, the people who were forced to make a terrible choice between burning alive and jumping out into space toward the hard ground below.
We haven’t forgotten their sacrifices, or the hateful ideology that drove their murderers.
And although their capacity to harm us has been diminished, the killers continue to plot.
