  • Immediately after the email arrived, Abdulwahab’s car burst into flames on a busy street in the city centre, with a series of explosions following from gas canisters stashed inside the vehicle.Around ten minutes later Abdulwahab shouted in Arabic before detonating a pipe bomb which killed him and wounded two passers-by.

  • THE BOMBER'S CHILLING LETTER The following is the full text of an email sent to a Swedish news agency before the blasts:'In the name of God the merciful. Prayers and peace to the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him.'Thanks to Lars Vilks and his paintings of the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, and your soldiers in Afghanistan and your silence on all this so shall your children, daughters, brothers and sisters die in the same way as our brothers and sisters and children die.'Now the Islamic states have fulfilled what they promised you. We are here in Europe and in Sweden, we are a reality, not an invention, I will not say more about this.'Our actions will speak for themselves, as long as you do not end your war against Islam and humiliation of the prophet and your stupid support for the pig Vilks.'To all Muslims in Sweden I say: stop fawning and humiliating yourselves for a life of humiliation is far from Islam. Help your brothers and sisters and do not fear anything or anyone, only the God you worship.'To my family, try to forgive me. I could not sit and watch while all the injustice happens against Islam and the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, when the pig Vilks did what he did.'Forgive me for my lies. I never went to the Middle East to work or earn money, I went there for jihad. I hope that you can understand me some time. I could never have told you all this or to anyone.'

Biden and Ryan Quarrel Aggressively in Debate, Offering Contrasts - NYTimes.com - 0 views

    "His interruptions were strategic, intended to raise questions about the Republican ticket. When Mr. Ryan attacked the administration's stimulus program, Mr. Biden pointed out that Mr. Ryan had sent him a letter, requesting money for his Congressional district in Wisconsin. As soon as the debate was over, Republicans were trying to liken Mr. Biden's performance to that of Al Gore against George W. Bush in 2000, when unflattering cutaway camera shots caught him sighing and rolling his eyes impatiently as Mr. Bush spoke. But while the two campaigns awaited the results of "insta-polls" determining a winner and a loser, the key question would not come as quickly: Whether Mr. Biden did enough to help move the Obama campaign beyond the president's own listless debate performance a week earlier. At one point Mr. Ryan even made reference to his imperative to do so, telling him, "I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground." It was the biggest moment of the campaign for Mr. Ryan, who invigorated the Republican base in August when Mr. Romney asked him to join the ticket. But his role as chairman of the House Budget Committee also opened him up to significant criticism from Mr. Biden, particularly when Mr. Ryan promised a bipartisanship that he said Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden had not delivered as promised. Before the debate, Democrats were curious about whether Mr. Ryan would stand by his approach to Medicare, which has included different versions of a plan to offer people 65 and older an option to use government subsidies to purchase private insurance. He did, and then some, saying his only intention - and Mr. Romney's - was to ensure the program's longevity. "Medicare and Social Security did so much for my own family," Mr. Ryan said. "We are not going to jeopardize this program, but we have to save it." Looking into the camera, Mr. Biden said, "These guys haven't been big on Medicare from the beginning," asking the

Disabled people face a tidal wave of prejudice and discrimination | Social care network... - 4 views

  • But the growing gap between the positive rhetoric underpinning the Paralympics and the day to day experience of thousands of disabled people in Britain raises big questions. Isn't it a betrayal of every Olympic ideal?
  • More to the point, isn't it a betrayal of the rights and needs of all disabled people, old and young, in a civilised society?
  • Disabled people are far too important for the Paralympics to be used as a fig leaf to hide the oppression and discrimination they seem increasingly to face. Ultimately this can only bring the games into disrepute
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • We must also recognise the wider complicity many of us have in disability policies. The government would hardly be pursuing them, against a significant minority, unless it calculated it had public opinion on its side – opinion prepared to go along with the view that in hard times, disabled people should no longer expect so much and need to tighten their belts too.
  • The Paralympics show just what disabled people are capable of, with support and when they are valued. Cuts in disability benefits, social care and mainstream services, meanwhile, are likely to make it impossible for other disabled people to come close to their potential.
  • But let's not hold our breath.
  • There is little chance of a similar protest against disability discrimination by medal winners at the London Paralympic Games. But for many disabled people such a high-profile protest would be timely, in the face of a tidal wave of prejudice and discrimination against disabled people.
