Pugnacious Apparent Loser In Ukraine Remains Silent

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

KIEV, Ukraine — Prime Minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko, the apparent loser in Sunday’s presidential election, remained uncharacteristically out of sight on Tuesday and provided no strong hints about whether she would concede or try to overturn the results.

The presumed winner, Viktor F. Yanukovich, the opposition leader, appealed once again for her to give up, saying that he wanted to avert a new period of political instability in Ukraine.

Final results showed that Mr. Yanukovich was ahead by 3.5 percentage points, and European election monitors offered the election high marks for integrity and transparency. They said they uncovered no major violations and suggested that Ms. Tymoshenko bow out.

Even the United States Embassy in Kiev issued a statement praising the election as “another step in the consolidation of Ukraine’s democracy.” Ms. Tymoshenko, a leader of the 2004 Orange Revolution, is known as an intense political fighter. But Mr. Yanukovich’s margin of victory and the monitors’ assessment may make it difficult for her to convince the public that her campaign was the victim of fraud.

Her political associates hinted that she was considering whether to try a replay of the Orange Revolution, which broke out when Mr. Yanukovich’s campaign was accused of stealing the presidential election. Though he was the loser in those events, Mr. Yanukovich resurrected himself with the 2010 campaign, presenting a more polished image.

Analysts said they highly doubted that Ukrainians, who have become disillusioned with politics in recent years, would take part in the kind of mass protests that occurred in the Orange Revolution.

Ms. Tymoshenko rarely shies from the spotlight, so the absence of a public event or statement by her on Tuesday seemed to indicate her uncertainty.

Even so, some of her political associates said they would prepare for a challenge before election regulators and the courts.

Andriy Shkil, a member of Parliament, said chapters of Ms. Tymoshenko’s party around Ukraine were gathering information to demonstrate that ballot-rigging and other violations were carried out.

“We are calling into question the quality and honesty of the voting,” Mr. Shkil said. “The main task that we have before us is to demonstrate what we already know: there was fraud.”

Iraq inquiry: families of fallen soldiers accuse Tony Blair

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Twenty relatives of those killed in the conflict were given seats at the inquiry in order to listen to the former prime minister answer questions about the events leading up to the 2003 war.

Less than an hour after it started, one father stood up and walked out muttering: “This is a waste of time, I can’t take this anymore.”

Valerie O’Neill, whose son Kris was killed by a roadside bomb in 2007 said Mr Blair evaded many of the questions put to him.

“He never gave a straight answer and could not be swayed by the inquiry panel,” he said. “We waited until the very end for an apology from Mr Blair but we didn’t get one.

“He couldn’t bring himself to say it as far as I could see.”

Sarah Chapman, a former nurse whose brother Robert O’Connor was one of 10 men shot down in a Hercules in January 2005, said she was left speechless by his performance.

“I am gutted and angry,” she said. “Every time he was asked about his reasons for going to war, he said it was all about the people in Iraq.

“Of course Saddam Hussain was not a good leader, but this was not his only reason for going to war.

“I feel Mr Blair acted alone and did not discuss war with anyone who might disagree with him.

“He showed a complete inability to acknowledge the sacrifice that has been made on the part of the armed forces in this country.

“He spent all the time justifying himself rather than explaining why he went to war. When asked at the end if there was anything he wanted to add, he said no.

“I was so upset, I hope the sound of my tears will ring in his ears.”

Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon was killed in 2004, said Mr Blair failed to acknowledge any of the relatives: “He walked straight into to room and never looked at us.

“We had to look at the back of his head – I wish the tables had been turned so that he faced us.”

Fusilier Gentle died in Iraq in June 2004 when the Snatch Land Rover he was travelling in was blown up by a roadside bomb.

His mother has fought a lengthy campaign to raise awareness about the lack of military equipment and set up the group Military Families Against War.

Mrs Gentle said it was clear Mr Blair had not involved most of his cabinet or parliament in the decision to go to war.

“His mind was made up from the start,” she said. “I don’t think anything would have changed it. I wanted to ask him – why lie?

“Why did he just not put his hand up and say why he wanted to got to war? I will be angry with that man for the rest of my life.”

Anne Donnachie, from Reading, whose son Paul was killed by a sniper in 2006, said: “I blame Tony Blair for my son’s death – he doesn’t care about the families and he won’t face up to it.”

Outside the inquiry, a core of around 200 protesters spent the day shouting anti-Blair slogans.

They carried a cardboard coffin bearing a cartoon mask of Mr Blair’s head, with the words “The Blood Price” on one side.

Holding “Bliar” placards, they marched around the conference centre, calling for the former prime minister to face war crime charges at The Hague.

They were particularly incensed that he arrived and left the inquiry without being seen.

Pakistan Taliban says leader injured in attack

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) — The leader of the Taliban in Pakistan, Hakimullah Mehsud, has been wounded in a suspected U.S. drone strike, intelligence and Taliban sources told CNN Friday.

The strike in northwest Pakistan occurred on Thursday a couple of weeks after a suicide bomber killed seven CIA officers at a base in Afghanistan.

A Taliban spokesman denied Thursday and again Friday that Mehsud was hurt. The spokesman, Azam Tariq, said Mehsud had left the site of the attack — a religious school — before the missiles struck. He dismissed reports of an injury to Mehsud as propaganda.

Other Taliban and intelligence sources, however, said doctors were treating Mehsud for injuries he sustained in the drone strike.

The drone attack killed 10 people, with four missiles landing near a madrassa, or religious school, Pakistani intelligence and local officials said Thursday. The school had been converted into a training camp for militants, the officials said.

The U.S. military routinely offers no comment on reported attacks by drones, or unmanned aircraft. The United States is the only country operating in the region known to have the ability to launch missiles from remote-controlled aircraft.

The strike happened in the village of Pasal Kot. That’s in North Waziristan, part of Pakistan’s volatile tribal region that is the site of previous drone strikes and clashes between the Pakistani military and Islamic militants.

It comes a few days after Mehsud appeared in a video the Pakistani Taliban released. In it, he sits next to Human Khlalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, the man believed to be the suicide bomber who killed seven CIA operatives and a Jordanian army captain at a base in eastern Afghanistan on December 30.

That attack was carried out to avenge the death of Mehsud’s predecessor, Baitullah Mehsud, who died in a suspected U.S. drone strike last year, according to al Qaeda’s commander of operations in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu Yazid.

Baitullah and Hakimullah are from the same tribe, not from the same family.

In the video, al-Balawi said, “We will never forget the blood of our leader Baitullah Mehsud, may God have mercy on his soul,” according to a CNN translation.

“It will remain that we take revenge (for his death) in America and outside America. It is a trust on every person who left everything for the sake of God, whom Baitullah Mehsud supported.”

At one point, the video shows the date of December 20, 2009. That is five days before Nigerian passenger Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab allegedly tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit, Michigan.

The Yemen-based group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the Christmas Day plot.

It is impossible to know whether the date on the video is accurate, or whether al-Balawi was aware of AbdulMutallab’s alleged plans. If al-Balawi did know about the plot, it could indicate a greater degree of communication between the Pakistani Taliban and al Qaeda than previously thought.

Among the seven CIA operatives who were killed in the December 30 attack were two members of the private security firm Xe, formerly known as Blackwater. The Jordanian military officer who was killed was Army Capt. Sharif Ali bin Zeid, a cousin of Jordan’s King Abdullah II. It was one of the worst attacks ever on America’s intelligence community.

Jordanian and U.S. intelligence agencies apparently believed al-Balawi had been rehabilitated from his extremist views and were using him to hunt Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s No. 2 figure, a former U.S. intelligence official said.

Al-Balawi was a Jordanian doctor whom Jordanian authorities had recruited as a counterterrorism intelligence source, a Jordanian official told CNN.

He said the video that his faith cannot be sold to bidders, an apparent message to Jordanian and U.S. officials that they had failed to win his allegiance. It puts into question how well the CIA and other intelligence agencies can penetrate al Qaeda.
