By STAFF Writer November 29, 2011 SOMALIA NEWS - Al-Shabab militants closed down aid offices in southern Somalian towns of Beledweyne and Baidoa accusing those to be a political bias. The southern areas of the country are controlled by al-Shabab, who has restricted for long the international aid groups' work, and on Monday he banned sixteen groups outright. The banned groups included Unicef, United Nations children's agency, few UN bodies, British Charity Concern and some groups from France, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Sweden and Norway.

By ONE Liners Agency MONDAY, May 02, 2011 The U.S. war against terrorism has achieved a milestone, the most important milestone with the controversial death of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Over the years his death was a suspense as several times rumor spread that Laden has been killed in the mountains and caves of Afghanistan. Parallel to it, connection of Harry Potter series with Laden is also much talked about. It is learned from reliable websites that the first movie of the Harry Potter series, Sorcerer’s Stone, released in November 2001, just months after 9/11, had similarities with Laden and his terror network. The movie brings to light the ongoing conflict between the little wizard and the evil Voldemort who is bent on killing him. Earlier known as “He Who Must Not Be Named,” Voldermort was completely an unknown entity. He was much like Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that has been seen in the last volume of the Potter series in a seismic one-on-one combat. The fi...

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.

They searched around Nasir Bagh where the refugee camp still stands lonely among multitude. After showing her photographs to number of people, they came to know the girl in the picture returned to Afghanistan and now lived in the mountains near Tora Bora. So, they decided to hunt the girl. ...

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 got...
