JAKARTA, Indonesia - A militant was sent to jail for twenty years by an Indonesian court for his role in 2001's twin bombings that brought to death 202 people of which most of them were foreigners, 88 Australians and seven Americans.

Umar Patek, alias Little Umar, remained silent and unmoved when the judge read the verdict to the 12-hour proceeding.

It is believed Patek is a leading member of Jemaah Islamiyah, the Al Qaeda-linked radical splinter group. Jemaah Islamiyah had been blamed for several terror attacks in the country, including the Bali blasts.

Patek was captured in 2011 from Abbottabad in Pakistan and his trial began in February this year. The prosecutors had leveled a total of 6 charges against him that included illegal firearm possession, concealing information about other terrorist acts and premeditate murder.

It is also believed Patek assembled explosives for Christmas Eve series of church bombings in 2000.

By ETHAN Markoff Some of the natural disasters shock the whole humanity, intensifying the belief system that there is something beyond the reach of mankind. A man is blissfully helpless when it comes to head-to-head with nature, yet all the development of mankind depends on struggle against the nature. The queer permutation combination of man and nature sometimes leave dreadful impression that haunts people for long. The Pakistan flood is yet another example of natural disaster that has thrown hundreds of thousand people into adverse condition and finally caused a million people's death. The worst-ever flood in the South East Asia occurred about two months back, and still capturing attention of the whole world.

India's Own Conservative Incest Story

Incest Story In Haryana Just a few days back India gloriously celebrated its 64th Independence Day but the oxymoron of Indian freedom runs in Indian villages. Nowadays one of the most noted sarcasms is quite in style in national news channels. The noise is quite audible, and annoyance level is also comfortably high. The subject is the most tempting one to mankind – sex. Haryana, a state in India known for flourishing industrialism and affluent farmers, seems living in the medieval period. The self-proclaimed Haryana’s Khaps are the sham ‘kings’ of the villages. Their “moral judgments” can even make shy to the epitomes of immorality. They do all sort of things – to solve personal problems of family, to give judgment of any conflict, and above all their profound knowledge in ancient gotras, caste system etc. is mind-boggling. A recent example is about a law graduate and resident of Karora village Seema whose brother had been killed for marrying a woman from the same gotra. This

Steve McCurry Famous Photograph – The Story Of The ‘Afghan Girl’

From EDITOR's Desk August 13, 2011 17 years later, the story continues with a simple photograph of a sea green eyed girl when a casual photography by McCurry turned out to be one of those captivating portrait that sear the heart and ran on the cover of National Geographic magazine in June 1985. The shy girl was among hordes of refugees at the refugee camp in Pakistan. The anger of those haunted eyes was apparent, which swept away the photography fraternity and not least the whole world, but after 17 years nobody actually remember her, even her name. The year is 2011 when a team from National Geography Television & Films brought McCurry to Pakistan to search the immortal face. They searched around Nasir Bagh where the refugee camp still stands lonely among multitude.
