Hangu: 1 Momin Mazhar Ali embraced shahadat.

He was kidnapped 10 days ago.
Pakistan says it will help the Tehran government locate and arrest the masterminds behind a deadly terrorist attack that killed scores of people in southeastern Iran.

In remarks published on Wednesday, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi announced that an Iranian delegation will soon arrive in Islamabad for talks on the matter.

“We will help them and support them in unearthing the people responsible …We will sort this thing out on a government-to-government basis,” Reuters quoted Qureshi as saying.

He said terrorism was a regional problem and Iran and Pakistan should join forces in rooting out extremism and radicalism.

“What we are asking is that we [sic.] as neighbors, as friends, as brotherly friendly countries, have to adopt a cooperative regional approach to deal with this menace,” he continued. “Pakistan is suffering, Pakistan is a victim of terrorism.”

At least 42 people, including senior commanders from the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Nour-Ali Shoushtari and Rajab-Ali Mohammadzadeh, were killed in a Sunday morning bombing during a gathering of Shia and Sunni tribal leaders in the borderline region of Pishin.

The Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group, which is closely affiliated with the notorious al-Qaeda organization, has claimed responsibility for the bomb blast.

Led by Abdulmalek Rigi, Jundallah terrorists have staged a tidal wave of bombings and terrorist attacks in Iran, one of which left at least 25 Iranians dead in early June.

The Asia Times reported in May, that al-Qaeda militants had sought to establish an alliance with the exiled Jundallah to fulfill longstanding plans of creating a strategic corridor in the region and lay the foundation for joint regional operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.

Abdulhamid Rigi, the apprehended brother of the Jundallah point-man, told Press TV in a recent interview that Abdulmalek had held several “confidential” meetings with FBI and CIA agents in Karachi and Islamabad.

He added that during one of the meetings, two female US agents had offered weapons, safe bases in Afghanistan and professional trainers and had attempted to recruit volunteers.

Abdulhamid’s remarks comes two years after The Sunday Telegraph declared Jundallah to be a CIA brainchild engineered to achieve the Bush-era goal of “regime change in Iran.”
His beheaded body was found in Shahu Khel village.

Namaz-e-Janaza was held at 7pm yesterday.

Houthi Shia soldiers in north Yemen on Wednesday said control of a number of key government positions in Razeh district of Saada province, a Yemeni news website reported.

The Houthis said they had taken full control of Bisbas, a government military position in Razeh district during the fighting, the report said.

The Shias also seized a strategic military base and a government military checkpoint in the region after hours of heavy clashes.

“These positions were full of military equipment, and we still control them along with an airport we seized yesterday,” the report quoted a spokesman for the Shias Mohamed Abdul-Salam as saying, without giving further details.

The Houthi said on Tuesday they had seized control of an airport in Razeh region bordering Saudi Arabia.

The international campaign for the release of lawmakers stated Tuesday that there are still 25 Palestinian MPs in Zionist occupation authority jails, most of them are affiliated with Hamas.

The international campaign for the release of lawmakers stated Tuesday that there are still 25 Palestinian MPs in Zionist occupation authority jails, most of them are affiliated with Hamas.

It noted that five of the lawmakers did not stand trial and most of them completed their sentences, but the Zionist occupation authority refused to release them and extended their administrative detention.

One of those imprisoned Hamas lawmakers, Hatem Kufaisheh, said in a letter leaked from Israeli jails that the Palestine liberation organization (PLO) deliberately discriminates between Palestinian prisoners.

Kufaisheh added that this discrimination is an insult to the sacrifices of Palestinian prisoners and reflects the state of political division in the Palestinian arena.

He explained that the PLO deprived 55 percent of the Palestinian prisoners, who do not belong to the PLO factions, of 45 percent of their financial allocations, unlike its prisoners who receive their allowances in full.

Beirut- Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite movement, claimed Monday that it had discovered and thwarted an Israeli spy surveillance network in southern Lebanon.

The claim refers to three electronic underground censors seemingly planted during the 2006 incursion by Israeli troops, and which monitored communications in Lebanon.

All three devices were subsequently destroyed after being discovered. A security source in southern Lebanon, who requested anonymity, said two of three devices were detonated remotely by the Israeli army, whilst a third was blown up by the Lebanese army on Sunday morning.

In a statement Hezbollah said it has achieved a ‘major accomplishment’ after its members ‘uncovered and thwarted an Israeli enemy aggression.’

Hezbollah said its group ‘managed to uncover a spy device planted by Israel between Houla and Mais el-Jabal that had been installed prior to the July 2006 war.’ It said the device was booby-trapped.

According to a security source in southern Lebanon, the devices were used for surveillance of communications by Hezbollah.

A United Nations Interim Forces (UNIFIL) statement said preliminary indications showed that these blasts were caused by ‘explosive charges contained in unattended underground sensors’ which were placed in that area by Israeli forces ‘apparently during the 2006 war.’

‘UNIFIL immediately launched an investigation to ascertain all the facts and circumstances relating to the presence of these devices and to establish how the explosions were triggered,’ the statement added.

Israel waged on July 12, 2006 a 33-day war against Lebanon, during which 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and 160 mainly Israel soldiers, were killed.

Saudi Arabia issued a ban on building of mosques, cemeteries and religious houses for Shia residing outside the Qatif, Al-Hassa and Najran where dense Shia citizens reside.

Sources informed Rasid that Eastern Province Governance issued a «Secret and Very Urgent» memo that contain clear sectarian instructions against Shia.

The memo outlines instructions for enforcing a ban on building Ismaili mosques outside Najran and religious houses and cemeteries outside Qatif and Al-Hassa.

The memo, which Rasid received a copy of it, is signed by Deputy Prince of Eastern Province, Jalawi bin ABdulaziz, and refers to direct orders from Interior Minister, Naif bin Abdulaziz.

The memo is addressed to the governors of Qatif, Al-Hassa, Jubail, Khobar, Abqaiq, Ras Tanura in addition to Chiefs of Police and Intelligence services. It mandates full compliance to Interior Minister instructions of enforcing a ban on using court yards as mosques and requesting extreme vigilance.

Analysts think that the memo which focuses on Ismaili Shia came late as arbitrary instructions are already in action since long.

It should be noted here that authorities refuse to issue permits for building Shia mosques outside Shia dense areas like Qatif, Al-Hasa and Najran.

Authorities refuses also to provide any justification for permit issuance refusal.

On the contrast, Saudi authorities build big and spacious Sunni mosques in the heart of Shia dense areas in Al-Hassa, Qatif, Najran and Madinah. These mosques used by small groups of expatriates and Shia citizens are not allowed to use them.

Closure of the Seventh Shia Mosque

Sources informed Rasid that Saudi authorities closed on Sunday an Ismaili Shia mosques in the Saudi Kuwaiti border city of Khafgi without giving any reason for the closure.

Seven Shia mosques were closed so far in Dammam, Khobar and Khafgi out of which three were closed within the past two months.

Sectarian Banishment
Sources informed Rasid that Saudi authorities started a campaign to remove high ranked officers from the Shia «Yam» tribe from security services.

Thousands of Ismaili who original come from Najran spread all over Saudi and many of them occupy major and important security positions in the State.

Some Analysts linked the recent banishment to the ongoing tension between Yemni Government and Huthies supporters on South borders of Saudi Arabia.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has called on Islamic countries to make joint efforts to stop followers of Wahhabism from depicting a wrong image of Islam.

The leaders of Islamic countries should team up in their efforts to hold various conferences and gatherings or even invite Saudi Arabian officials in order to help stop such wrong teachings by followers of Wahhabism, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi said in Qom on Wednesday.

He pointed to the recent terrorist attack in south eastern Iran, saying the killing of Muslims in Islamic countries has had two important consequences: it has created insecurity in those countries and it has portrayed a distorted image of Islam.

On Sunday, a terrorist attack killed over 40 people, including five senior commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.

The terrorist group Jundullah, also known as the Rigi group because it is led by Abdul-Malek Rigi, has claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out in the city of Pishin, near the border with Pakistan.

The Ayatollah said as long as such incidents take place, Islam’s enemies can easily misrepresent Islam.

He added that Iran is ready to provide advice in order to help resolve such problems and exterminate the terrorists who are damaging the real image of Islam.
