3 killed in Turkey bomb attack

3 killed in Turkey bomb attack

M-IT   12:02:00 PM

Three people were killed Tuesday and 42 others wounded when a car bomb attack blamed on Kurdish militants struck a police vehicle in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, officials said.

The armoured minibus was carrying detainees accused of “terror” crimes when the car bomb exploded in the centre of Diyarbakir, the office of the regional governor said in a statement.

The state-run Anatolia news agency blamed militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the attack.
The seven detainees were being taken for a routine health check after being detained earlier on suspicion of membership of the PKK.

Forty-five people, 12 police and 33 civilians, including people who had been sitting in a tea garden by the roadside, were wounded in the initial blast, the statement said.

Three people later died of their wounds in hospital, it added, without specifying if police or detainees were among the fatalities.
Pictures from the scene showed the blast had left a trail of devastation with the bus reduced to a burned out wreck and its debris strewn around the area.
Bystanders led bloodied survivors to safety.
Diyarbakir and its region have in recent months been hit by repeated attacks by the PKK as the military presses a relentless offensive against the Kurdish militants.
Earlier, two police had been killed in a bomb attack blamed on the PKK in a district of the southeastern city of Van to the east which had so far been spared the worst of the fighting.

Seven Turkish police officers were killed and at least 27 people wounded in late March in a bomb attack on their vehicle in Diyarbakir.
The PKK first took up arms in 1984 demanding a homeland for Turkey’s biggest minority, later paring back its demands to focus on cultural rights and a measure of autonomy.

Over 40,000 people have been killed in the insurgency.
The new upsurge of violence between the security forces and Kurdish militants erupted in July 2015, shattering a two-and-a-half year truce.

All set to send Nizami to gallows in Bangladesh

All set to send Nizami to gallows in Bangladesh

M-IT   11:37:00 AM

The jail authorities allowed the family members to meet Nizami following a petition filed by them earlier, jail officials said.
The roads nearby the central jail have been made off-limit to traffic and security has been beefed up in and around the jail.

Sanders feeling media heat after new interview

Sanders feeling media heat after new interview

M-IT   10:16:00 AM

Bernie Sanders' interview with the New York Daily News ahead of the state's primary later this month didn't go as planned.

The Vermont senator's April 1 sit down with the paper's editorial board, a transcript of which was published Monday, showed him having difficulty clearly answering some questions about both foreign and domestic policy, including the implementation of his much-touted plan to reform Wall Street.

Sanders: Clinton is 'funded by Wall Street'

Several times during the interview, Sanders expressed uncertainty over facts, said he couldn't give a proper answer to a question because he didn't have all the relevant information, or simply stated, "I don't know."

In one exchange, Sanders acknowledged that he wasn't sure exactly how he intended to break up the big banks, a proposal that has been a centerpiece of his Wall Street reform agenda.

Bernie Sanders: JPMorgan and GE are destroying the fabric of America

"I think the interview raised a lot of really serious questions," Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I look at it this way, the core of his campaign has been break up the banks and it didn't seem in his answers he understood how that would work under Dodd Frank."

Clinton continued, "I'd think he hadn't done his homework and he has been talking for more than a year about ... things that he obviously hadn't really studied or understood and that does raise a lot of questions and really what it does is for voters to ask themselves, can he deliver what he is talking about, can he really help people."

Hillary vs. Bernie: Their money...and yours

For some political observers, the senator's difficulty in providing direct answers to some questions reinforced their belief that he lacks a concrete plan to implement his domestic agenda and is ill-prepared to handle the global challenges he would face as president.

"If Hillary [Clinton] gave answers like this to [an editorial] board, she would be crucified," tweeted Mark Halperin, the Bloomberg television host and co-author of "Game Change."

Wisconsin primary: 5 takeaways

Wisconsin primary: 5 takeaways

M-IT   10:13:00 AM

Ted Cruz's win over Donald Trump in Wisconsin means a contested GOP convention is not only possible, but may be probable. And Bernie Sanders reminded Hillary Clinton that the Democratic race isn't over yet. Wisconsin was a must-win for both Cruz and Sanders as the 2016 race shifts to New York, where both front-runners will try to regain their footing in the state they call home. Both did just that -- and they racked up big margins of victory, with Cruz besting Trump by 15 percentage points and Sanders ahead of Clinton by 13 points

Speculative remarks highly irresponsible, says China on BB heist

Speculative remarks highly irresponsible, says China on BB heist

M-IT   10:01:00 AM

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lu Kang on Wednesday warned against making speculative remarks on the involvement of Chinese hackers in the Bangladesh Bank heist.

“Speculative remarks made up of ‘possible’ and ‘maybe’ are highly irresponsible and counterproductive to cyberspace cooperation among countrie

s,” said the spokesperson when asked for his comment on the allegation of a senator in the Philippines that Chinese hackers were possibly involved in the heist of the Bangladesh Central Bank.

Lu Kang was speaking at the regular press conference in Beijing, according to the Chinese foreign ministry website.
He said China's stance on cyber attack and hackers is consistent.
“We stand for an open, secure, cooperative and peaceful cyberspace. The Chinese government is resolute in fighting hacking activities,” said the spokesperson.

The Chinese government official said the country was stressing that anyone should be fully equipped with solid evidence before making accusations.

In Bangladesh: A Tangail court on Wednesday issued warrants for arrest of local parliament member Amanur Rahman Rana and nine others in connection with the murder of Awami League leader Faruk Ahmed.

Tangail senior judicial magistrate Mohammad Aminul Islam took the concerned charge sheet into cognizance and issued the warrant order against the fugitive accused.

On February 3, police pressed charge against 14 accused, including Amanur and his three brothers in connection with the murder. As many as 33 people have been included as witnesses in the case.

Faruk Ahmed was shot dead on the night of 18 January in 2013. Three days after the killing, Faruk's wife Nahar Ahmed filed a case with Tangail Model Police Station against unidentified criminals.
