Taliban kill mullah critical of suicide(AP)

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - Suspected Taliban militants killed a religious leader in western Afghanistan after he criticized the use of suicide attacks in the country, an Afghan official said Friday.
Militants kidnapped Shamsudin Agha in Farah province's Anar Dara district on Tuesday, days after he led prayers condemning the practice of using suicide attacks as a weapon of war, said provincial police Chief Abdul Ghafar Watandar.
Suicide attacks are one of the Taliban's preferred tactics in their attacks against Afghan and foreign troops. Most of the victims of such attacks have been civilians.
Authorities recovered Agha's body on Wednesday night in Farah's Khaki Safed district, Watandar said.
Agha was the head of the religious council of Farah's Anar Dara district, he said.
In eastern Afghanistan, meanwhile, a suicide car bomber struck a police vehicle, wounding two officers, said Wazir Pacha, a provincial police spokesman.
Violence by the Taliban and other insurgent groups has spiked this year to record levels. Attacks are up 30 percent from 2007, military officials say.
On Thursday, another suicide car bomber struck a U.S. patrol, killing eight Afghan civilians and one U.S. soldier and wounding 74 civilians, Afghan officials said.
Nearly 1,000 civilians are among the approximately 5,400 people killed in insurgency-related violence this year, according to a tally by The Associated Press of figures provided by Afghan and international officials. Most of the reported dead have been militants.
Elsewhere, U.S. troops killed four al-Qaida-linked militants during a raid in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday.
The troops were targeting militants who helped local Taliban leaders bring Arab and other foreign fighters into Afghanistan, the U.S. military said in a statement Friday.
The raid occurred in Zormat district in Paktia province. None of the militants killed was identified.
Three other militants were killed in neighboring Ghazni province Thursday, said Ismail Jahangir, the spokesman for the province's governor.

Iran vice-president under fire over Koran "dance"

An aide to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has come under fire for attending a ceremony that involved actions deemed insulting to the Koran, a row that has given fuel to the Iranian president's opponents before next year's election.
Ahmadinejad is expected to run for re-election in June. But criticism over his economic management is mounting and he faces a more hostile parliament, which sacked his interior minister this month over a fake university degree.
In comments published on Sunday, opponents targeted his vice-president, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie, who is in charge of a culture and tourism body, for hosting a ceremony where women in traditional dress carried in the Koran, Islam's holy book, to music. Media described the ceremony as a "dance."
"Violation of the sanctity (of the Koran) in the presence of your Excellency's deputy and under his management ... causes deep regret for every Muslim," the head of the Islamic Coalition Front, Mohammad-Nabbi Habibi, said in a letter to the president.

A rush for tin, a catastrophe for the CongoIraqi ministers agree to extend U.S. military presenceSomali president says Islamists control most of countryThe Front is a conservative party that previously backed the president but, along with some others in the broad conservative camp, has become increasingly critical of his policies.
Mashaie is not new to controversy. He created a storm earlier this year by saying Iran was friendly even to the people of Israel, Iran's sworn foe. Ahmadinejad had said those comments by his vice-president were misrepresented.
The "dance" row offers the president's critics ammunition, one political analysts said. "It's like giving those unhappy with Ahmadinejad another piece in this jigsaw puzzle (to piece together against him)," he said, asking not to be named.
The analyst said it would particularly play into the hands of pro-reform politicians, some of whom are trying to convince reformist former President Mohammad Khatami to run in June.
Clerics, including several ayatollahs, which is a top Shi'ite religious rank, have also assailed Ahmadinejad's vice- president. One described the ceremony as a "shameful" act.
Ahmadinejad, the first non-cleric to be president for about a quarter of a century, has had prickly relations with clerics before. Early in his presidency he had to reverse a decision to allow women into football stadiums after clerical criticism.
A group of clerics who are lawmakers in parliament called in a statement for the president "to deal legally with those behind this action" involving the Koran, ISNA news agency said.
Other lawmakers have said Mashaie should be sacked. Even a party close to Ahmadinejad has voiced concern.
Ahmadinejad is facing heavy criticism for economic policies. He came to power in 2005 vowing to spread Iran's oil wealth but critics say lavish spending has fuelled inflation and squandered oil earnings that should have been saved.

இயல்பு வாழ்க்கை பாதிக்கப்பட்ட
ஒரு மழை நாளில்
குமாஸ்தாக்கள் கோப்புகளிலிருந்து
சற்றே நிமிர்ந்து உட்காருகிறார்கள்
நீதிபதிகள் குற்றவாளிகளுக்கு
சற்றே மிதமான தண்டணைகளை
வழங்குகிறார்கள்
கணவர்கள் மனைவிகளுக்கு அளிக்கும்
சுதந்திரத்தைக் கண்காணிக்க கொஞ்சம் மறந்துபோகிறார்கள்.
ஒரு கண்டன ஊர்வலம்
சட்டென மகிழ்ச்சியான ஒரு மன நிலைக்கு மாறுகிறது
செய்யப்படாத வேலைகள் பற்றி
தொழிலாளிகள் பயம் குறைந்து காணப்படுகிறார்கள்
வேலை கொடுத்துக்கொண்டிருப்பதை
மறந்து முதலாளிகளும் கொஞ்சம் மழையை வேடிக்கை பார்க்கிறார்கள்
பெட்ரோல் பங்கில் எனக்கு பின்னால் காத்திருப்பவன்
இன்று எந்த விரோதமும் இல்லாமல் இருக்கிறான்
வகுப்பறைகளில் குழந்தைகள்
ஆசிரியர்களைப் பற்றிய பயங்கரம் நீங்கி
வெளியே பார்த்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்
நண்பர்கள்
நண்பர்களைப் போலவே காட்சியளிக்கிறார்கள்.
எல்லா இடத்திலும் ஈரம் பரவிக்கொண்டிருந்த
ஒரு மழை நாளில்
நான் என் காதலைச் சொன்னபோது
நீ அதை
மறுக்கவும் இல்லை
ஏற்கவும் இல்லை
