Israel's controversial practice of razing homes-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel demolished Tuesday the houses of two Palestinians involved in attacks last year, reverting to a controversial measure it claims is a deterrent. Here is an explanation of the practice:Resumption of demolitions-Security forces destroyed the former homes of Ghassan Abu Jamal and Mohammed Jaabis in the Jabel Mukaber district in east Jerusalem, the Palestinian side of the city annexed by Israel.Israel had for several years stopped this form of punishment in Jerusalem, despite using it widely in the occupied West Bank.But this changed on November 19, 2014, after orders from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Israeli forces blew up the east Jerusalem home of Abdelrahman Shaludi, a Palestinian who the previous month had killed a Ecuadorian woman and a 22-month-old baby when he rammed his car into them, before being shot by police.At the time, with tensions already high, several other homes were also slated for demolition.However, the government did not destroy them, perhaps waiting for a more suitable time. One home to be razed was in the volatile Shuafat refugee camp.Until November 2014, Israel had not resorted to punitive demolitions in Jerusalem since 2009, according to Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli lawyer who specialises in issues related to the city.Deterrent or collective punishment? The demolitions are intended to deter Palestinians who may not fear for their own lives in carrying out attacks, but who could be concerned with the welfare of the families they leave behind.Israeli rights organisation B'Tselem says that the main victims of such demolitions are relatives forced to pay for another person's actions.Israel's close ally the United States has been among those who have said the measure only serves to increase tensions.Officials at the Israeli defence ministry seemed to share this point of view in 2005, at the end of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising. After 664 home demolitions across the occupied territories in previous years, they ordered an end to them.Instead of acting as a deterrent, they actually provoked Palestinians into carrying out attacks, the army had concluded. Despite that, such demolitions continued outside of Jerusalem.Before Tuesday's demolitions, the Israeli army demolished the house of a man said to be a Hamas official in the Jenin refugee camp during a raid to arrest him in September. The man was released a few days later.
Abbas says does not want escalation with Israel-Reuters By Ali Sawafta-oct 6,15-yahoonews
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday he did not want a spike in deadly violence in East Jerusalem and the Israeli-occupied West Bank to spiral into armed confrontation with Israel.Four Israelis have been killed since Thursday in a stabbing and a drive-by shooting blamed on Palestinian militants. Police shot dead the Palestinian knife-wielder and the military arrested five members of the Islamist Hamas group for the shooting.Two Palestinians, one of them a 13-year-old, have been killed and about 170 injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank since Sunday. Another Palestinian man, suspected of having stabbed and wounded an Israeli teen, was shot dead by police in Jerusalem.With Israeli-Palestinian peace talks dormant since 2014, the bloodshed has raised concerns about a wider escalation and a possible third Palestinian uprising, though it has not reached the level of past Israeli-Palestinian confrontations.Abbas, at a gathering of the Palestine Liberation Organization, signaled that he hoped to avoid violent conflict, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a series of security measures that fell short of an extensive military operation."We tell them (the Israelis) that we do not want either military or security escalation," Abbas said at the PLO meeting. "All our instructions to our (security) agencies, our factions and our youth have been that we do not want escalation."As part of Netanyahu's pledged steps to stem what he termed a "wave of terrorism," Israeli forces destroyed the homes of two Palestinian militants and sealed off part of a third in and around Jerusalem before dawn on Tuesday, the Israeli military said.The militants had carried out attacks on Israelis in 2014 and had all been shot dead by Israeli security forces. Their families still resided in the three homes in question.Israel has said such demolitions are punitive and can also serve as a deterrent to other potential attackers. Human rights groups condemn the demolition policy as collective punishment.Netanyahu, who visited an army base in the West Bank on Tuesday, said other measures would include installing security cameras on West Bank roads and a greater Israeli police presence in East Jerusalem.Recent tensions have been inflamed in particular by frequent clashes between Palestinian stone-throwers and Israeli security forces at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third-holiest shrine.Palestinians fear increasing visits by Jewish groups to al-Aqsa, revered by Jews as the site of biblical temples, are eroding longtime Muslim religious control there. Netanyahu has said he is committed to maintaining the status quo at al-Aqsa.(Additional reporting by Ammar Awad in Jerusalem; Writing by Maayan Lubell; Editing by Jeffrey Heller and Mark Heinrich)
The Latest: Israeli army finds rifle suspected to have been used in shooting death of Israelis-The Canadian PressBy The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
JERUSALEM - The latest developments in ongoing tensions between Palestinians and Israel following days of violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank (all times local).
4:30 p.m.The Israeli military says it has recovered an assault rifle believed to have been used by Palestinian militants in the shooting attack that killed an Israeli settler couple in the West Bank last week.The military says the perpetrators confessed to hiding the weapon in a shop owned by a member of the group responsible for the attack. Overnight, forces found the weapon in the shop in the West Bank city of Nablus, the military says.The current rash of violence began Thursday when Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli couple in their car near a settlement in the West Bank as their four children watched from the backseat.Israeli authorities on Monday said they arrested five Palestinians affiliated with the Islamic militant group Hamas who plotted and carried out the attack. The militants opened fire from their vehicle on the Israeli family's car, and after the car stopped, two Palestinians approached the car and fired at the couple from close range, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said.
3:15 p.m.Israel Radio says it has obtained official Palestinian government documents confirming hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to prisoners convicted in some of the deadliest attacks on Israelis.Tuesday's report comes after days of violent clashes and repeated Israeli accusations of Palestinian incitement to violence.Palestinians have long acknowledged paying support to the families of prisoners held by Israel, but payments personally to prisoners convicted in deadly attacks have never been made public.Israel Radio claims the documents show the hefty sums given to those serving multiple life sentences in Israeli prisons. They include Hamas militants behind suicide bombings that killed dozens of Israelis.Ashraf al-Ajrami, a former Palestinian minister for prisoners, confirmed the report, saying the prisoners are "heroes" and the money is for their families.
2:50 p.m.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he has no interest in an "escalation" and is ready to talk with Israel.The remarks came at a meeting of top Palestinian officials on Tuesday over the latest surge in violence.Abbas says he has told the Israelis that the Palestinians don't want "military and security escalations." He says the message has been delivered to Palestinian security forces and activists.But Abbas also added that "at the same time, we will protect ourselves."He urged Israel to stop building settlements, carry out a previously pledged prisoner release and return to peace talks.
2:30 p.m.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited the site in the West Bank where Palestinian gunmen last week killed an Israeli couple in their car as their four children watched from the backseat.The attack kicked off a bloody holiday weekend in which four Israelis and four Palestinians were killed amid violent protests.During the visit on Tuesday, Netanyahu pledged that his country will "break this wave of terror like we broke previous waves of terror." The day before, the Israeli leader promised that he will use a "strong hand" to quell violent Palestinian protests and deadly attacks.Netanyahu also says Israel will deploy cameras along major West Bank routes to help prevent further attacks.Israel has already sent thousands of soldiers to battle the recent outbreak.
Netanyahu vows 'strong hand' against Palestinians throwing stones, firebombs-The Canadian PressBy Ian Deitch And Mohammed Daraghmeh, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 5,15-yahoonews
JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday that he will use a "strong hand" to quell violent Palestinian protests and deadly attacks, signalling that the current round of violence is bound to escalate at a time when a political solution to the conflict is increasingly distant.Netanyahu said he has sent thousands more soldiers and police to the West Bank and Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem and that "we are allowing our forces to take strong action against those who throw rocks and firebombs." He said restrictions limiting what security forces can do were being lifted, but did not elaborate.Netanyahu's warnings came after a rash of violence that began Thursday when Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli couple in their car near a settlement in the West Bank as their four children watched. Two days later, a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli man to death and seriously wounded his wife as they walked in Jerusalem's Old City, then attacked and killed another Israeli man.Israeli forces, meanwhile, killed two suspected Palestinian assailants over the weekend and on Monday shot dead two teenage stone-throwers, one of them a 13-year-old boy, in West Bank clashes.In all, eight Palestinians were wounded by live fire and 45 by rubber-coated steel pellets in the West Bank and Jerusalem on Monday, the Red Crescent said.The spike in attacks and clashes comes at a time of mounting Palestinian frustration.After years of diplomatic paralysis, many have lost hope in the chance of setting up a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has not offered an alternative to failed negotiations, except to urge the international community to intervene, so far to little avail. President Barack Obama made no mention of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly last week, an omission noted by the Palestinians.Netanyahu has repeatedly accused Abbas of inciting the violence and of having no interest in negotiating a peace deal. Abbas has countered that Netanyahu is acting in bad faith by promoting continued settlement expansion on territory Palestinians claim for their future state.Tensions have also risen over a major Jerusalem shrine that is sacred to Muslims and Jews and is key to the rival national narratives of the two sides. Many Palestinians believe that Israel is trying to expand a Jewish presence at the site, a claim Netanyahu has denied. The hilltop compound is revered by Muslims as the spot where Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven and by Jews as the site of the two Jewish biblical Temples.There have been several days of clashes at the site over the past few weeks as Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque while hurling stones, firebombs and fireworks at police. The unrest later spread to Arab neigh bourhoods of east Jerusalem and to the West Bank.Netanyahu convened his Security Cabinet, a group of key ministers, at the end of a two-day Jewish holiday Monday evening."We are acting with a strong hand against terrorism and against inciters," he said before the meeting. "We are operating on all fronts. We have brought an additional four ... battalions into Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), and thousands of police into Jerusalem."He pledged an unprecedented crackdown, saying police had moved deeper into Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem than in the past.He again accused the Palestinian leadership of incitement, lumping Abbas with the Palestinian leader's main domestic rival, the Islamic militant Hamas.Despite Netanyahu's warning about a lifting of restrictions on security forces, an Israeli army spokesman, Lt. Maj. Peter Lerner, said there was no change in troops' open fire-rules.Meanwhile, Abbas convened his security commanders late Monday, telling them they must try to prevent what he described as an Israeli attempt to drag the Palestinians into violence, according to an official statement.The latest unrest has put Abbas in a difficult position, said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member in the Palestine Liberation Organization."He does not condone violence and he will not allow violence, but at the same time, people are really pushed beyond endurance," she said.The military and the Shin Bet security service said Monday that Israeli forces arrested five Palestinian suspects in the killing of the settler couple last week. The U.S. State Department said Monday one of the victims, Eitam Henkin, held dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship. An army statement said the suspects were affiliated with Hamas in the West Bank city of Nablus.The statement said one of the assailants was accidentally shot and wounded by his colleagues and dropped his pistol. The group fled to Nablus, leaving behind the weapon.Israel TV's Channel 10 said Israeli undercover forces later raided a Nablus hospital and seized the wounded man. The channel showed CCTV footage of the raid, including men in civilian clothes running along a hallway.In Nablus, relatives of the man taken from the hospital said he was seized before dawn Sunday. They identified him as 23-year-old Karam al-Masri."We have no idea if he was or not in the attack but we are concerned about his health because his injury is serious, according to doctors," said an uncle, Ayman al-Masri.Earlier Monday, confrontations erupted in the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem, just south of Jerusalem, and in the northern town of Tulkarem.In Bethlehem, stone-throwers clashed with Israeli troops near Rachel's Tomb, a frequent flashpoint near where Israel's separation barrier juts into the city.A doctor at a nearby hospital said 13-year-old, Abdel Rahman Shadi died after being hit by a live bullet to the chest while another Palestinian protester was wounded.The Israeli military said dozens of Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli soldiers near the site. Troops initially fired tear gas and then responded with live rounds, the army said.In Tulkarem, an 18-year-old Palestinian, Huthaifa Suleiman, was killed by live fire, according to the doctor there. Both doctors spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.Hamas said Suleiman was a member of the group.The military said hundreds of Palestinians threw firebombs and rocks at soldiers, and rolled burning tires toward them in the Tulkarem clash. The army said troops fired tear gas, stun grenades and then live rounds.___Associated Press writer Karin Laub contributed to this report from Amman, Jordan.

Pope aims to assure conservatives: marriage doctrine safe-Associated Press-oct 6,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has sought to assure conservatives that Catholic doctrine on marriage isn't up for discussion as a three-week meeting of bishops begins hashing out how the church should welcome gays, divorcees and Catholics in "irregular" unions.Francis took the floor Tuesday after the meeting's first day was marked by a speech from the synod manager, Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo, in which he closed the door on any movement on whether Catholics remarried outside the church could receive Communion.Francis said the issue wasn't the only one on the table and church doctrine isn't up for debate. But in recounting Francis' closed-door speech, the Vatican spokesman also seemed to discount Erdo's stance by noting the synod is discussing a papally approved working text, where the Communion question is still open.
Church should shun derogatory words on gays, Vatican synod told-ReutersBy By Philip Pullella | Reuters – oct 6,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Catholics should stop using condescending language such as "pity" towards homosexuals and find ways to welcome them as sons and daughters of the Church, bishops have told a major gathering on the family.The comments supporting more inclusive language for homosexuals in the Church were made in the first two rounds of interventions at the closed-door gathering, known as a synod, Vatican officials told a news conference on Tuesday.The calls by over half a dozen bishops for more inclusive language on homosexuals stood out because conservative clerics made sure an interim report at a preliminary meeting last year deleted a passage they thought was too welcoming to gays."(The bishops said) there must be an end to exclusionary language and a strong emphasis on embracing reality as it is. We should not be afraid of new and complex situations," Father Tom Rosica said in summarising some of the interventions.He said that the bishops had called for "a new form of language, in particular in speaking of homosexuals ... we do not pity gay persons but we recognise them for who they are. They are our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, our neighbours and our colleagues."In a document written by former Pope Benedict before his election and still cited by conservatives, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger described homosexuals as "intrinsically disordered".MODERN FAMILIES-Rosica, who attends the meetings, said the bishops who advocated a more welcoming Church for homosexuals argued that gays should not be treated as "outsiders" and the Church should extend "a hand of welcome to them (as) our flesh and blood".The synod of more than 300 bishops, delegates and observers, including 13 married couples, will be meeting for three weeks in the presence of Pope Francis to discuss how the 1.2 billion member Church can confront challenges facing the modern family.Since his election in 2013, Francis has given great hope to progressives who want him to forge ahead with his vision of a more inclusive Church that concentrates on mercy rather than the strict enforcement of rigid rules they see as antiquated.The bishops will discuss ways to defend the traditional family and make life-long marriage more appealing to young people while reaching out to disaffected Catholics such as homosexuals, co-habiting couples and the divorced.The gathering has been preceded by intense jockeying between conservatives and liberals on a host of sensitive issues.One key topic at the synod will be how to reach out to Catholics who have divorced and remarried in civil ceremonies.They are considered by the Church to be still married to their first spouse and living in a state of sin. Some bishops want a change to the rules that bars them from receiving sacraments such as communion.An introductory speech at the synod's opening on Monday led some to believe that the discussion on a possible change in rule concerning divorced Catholics was closed, but bishops at Tuesday's press conference disputed this."The discussion is still open," said Italian Archbishop Claudio Celli.(Reporting by Philip Pullella; Editing by Tom Heneghan)
Christian pastor survives knife attack at home in Bangladesh-Associated Press By JULHAS ALAM-oct 6,15-yahoonews
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A Bangladeshi pastor survived an attempt on his life by three men who came to his home pretending to want to learn about Christianity, police and the victim said Tuesday.The attempt follows two killings of foreigners last week in the predominantly Muslim country grappling with violence claimed by hard-line Islamic groups.The Islamic State group claimed it had carried out last week's attacks on a Japanese agricultural worker and an Italian aid worker. The IS claim has been rejected by Bangladesh's government, which accused the opposition of trying to destabilize the country.On Monday, the Rev. Luke Sarker, 52, suffered minor injuries when three men attacked him with a knife at his home in the northwestern district of Pabna, police official Siddikur Rahman said.Sarker, the pastor of Faith Bible Church, said the men had phoned him about two weeks ago saying they wanted to visit him to learn about Christianity.After they arrived at his home on Monday, the men suddenly attacked him with a knife and tried to slit his throat, Sarker said by telephone. But as he shouted, his wife came to his rescue and the men fled. Police later recovered a motorbike from outside his home.On Tuesday, police arrested a member of the Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of the opposition Jamaat-e-Islami political party, related to the attack on the pastor. Obaidul Islam was detained in a raid at his home at Ishwardi in Pabna, local police official Biman Kumar said."We are questioning him," Kumar said.Meanwhile, police said they have arrested two suspects in Saturday's attack on Japanese agricultural worker Kunio Hoshi in northern Bangladesh.Local businessman Humayun Kabir Hira and opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party activist Rashedunnabi Khan Biplob were produced before a magistrate and arrested, said local police Chief Rezaul Karim.Biplob, Hira and three others were detained soon after the killing but were not initially named as suspects. The others are still being questioned but so far are not considered suspects, Karim said.Hira owned a fishery near the farm where Hoshi was producing high-yielding grass as cattle feed and had helped the Japanese man lease the land he was farming, Karim said.The Islamic State group issued a statement claiming responsibility for that attack, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi postings online. The report could not be independently confirmed. The Islamic State also claimed responsibility for the Sept. 28 killing of Italian aid worker Cesare Tavella in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital.Foreign Minister A.H. Mahmood Ali brushed aside the Islamic State allegations while briefing foreign diplomats Tuesday."We don't have any proof (about IS claim). we don't have any credible information. The U.S. is also working to verify the claim," the United News of Bangladesh agency quoted the minister as saying.Robert Gibson, British high commissioner to Dhaka, said that they discussed the overall situation.He said the government assured them of a fair investigation."We're assured by the government that no stone will be left unturned," the agency quoted Gibson as saying.The government has blamed the country's main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its key ally, Jamaat-e-Islami, for the attacks, accusing the groups of trying to destabilize the country. The BNP denied the allegations.Bangladesh has been struggling in recent months with a rise in violence claimed by hard-line Islamic groups, banning several that have been blamed for killing four secular bloggers this year.
Ten Commandments monument removed from Oklahoma Capital grounds-Reuters By Heide Brandes-OCT 6,15-YAHOONEWS
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Under the cover of night, a 6-foot-tall (180-cm) granite monument inscribed with the Ten Commandments was removed from the Oklahoma Capitol grounds after judges said its placement on government land violated state law, officials said on Tuesday.The monument, which had drawn strong support from the Republican leadership of the socially conservative state, has been the subject of simmering lawsuits launched by groups who said its placement steps from the Capitol violated local laws and U.S. Constitutional provisions against government support of a religion.Along with a heavy security presence from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, workers began to remove the monument at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday, said John Estus, a spokesman for the state Office of Management and Enterprise Services.The statue will be installed outside the offices of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, a conservative public policy analysis group near the Capitol, he said.The removal was expected to cost about $5,000, said Wilbert Memorials, which installed the monument originally. It was unclear who paid for the move.In June, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the display violated the state constitution, which prohibits use of state property to further religions. Several Republican lawmakers threatened to seek the impeachment of the judges who ruled in favor of its removal.An Oklahoma County Judge in September ordered its removal by Oct. 12.Lawmakers have argued that the monument, which was paid for with private money and installed in 2012, was not serving a religious purpose but was meant to mark a historical event.That opened the door for other groups, including Satanists and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, to apply for permission to erect their own monuments on Capitol grounds to mark what they say are historical events.(Writing by Jon Herskovitz; Editing by Bill Trott)

Amid rash of breaches, cost of cybercrime rising for companies in US and abroad, study shows-The Canadian PressBy Bree Fowler, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Cybercrime costs are climbing for companies both in the U.S. and overseas amid a slew of high-profile breaches, according to research released Tuesday.A sixth-annual study by the Ponemon Institute pegged the average annual cost of cybercrime per large U.S. company at $15.4 million. That's up 19 per cent from $12.7 million a year ago.It also represents an 82 per cent jump from Ponemon's inaugural study six years ago.Individually, cybercrime costs for the U.S. companies surveyed varied dramatically, ranging from $1.9 million to $65 million. And the average cost of a cyberattack on a U.S. company rose 22 per cent to $1.9 million from $1.5 million.Globally, the average annualized cost of cybercrime increased 1.9 per cent from last year to $7.7 million."As an industry we're getting better, but attacks are becoming much more invasive and sophisticated," said Andrzej Kawalec, chief technology officer for Hewlett-Packard Co.'s HP Enterprise Security, which sponsored the study and sells cybersecurity services to businesses.The study examined the total cost of responding to cybercrime incidents, including detection, recovery, investigation and incident-response management. It also looked at after-the-fact expenses designed to prevent additional costs stemming from the potential loss of business or customers.Recent expensive and embarrassing breaches at companies including Target, Home Depot and Sony Pictures have prompted many companies to boost their cyberdefenses.The study looked at a sample of 58 U.S. companies with at least 1,000 connections to its computer network. Globally, the study analyzed data from 252 companies in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, Russia and Brazil.___Follow Bree Fowler at https://twitter.com/APBreeFowler
Russia says claims its jets hit Syria's Palmyra 'absolute lie'-Reuters-oct 6,15-yahoonews
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian defence ministry on Tuesday angrily dismissed reports that its planes had launched air strikes against the Syrian city of Palmyra as false, the TASS news agency reported."All reports by foreign media that Russian planes allegedly struck the city of Palmyra are an absolute lie," Major-General Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the ministry, was quoted as saying."Our planes in Syria do not strike populated areas and especially ones with architectural monuments."Syrian state television and a monitoring group said earlier on Tuesday that Russian jets had hit Islamic State targets in Palmyra.(Reporting by Alex Winning; Editing by Andrew Osborn)
NATO rejects Russia explanation on Turkish air space-Reuters By Robin Emmott-oct 6,15-yahoonews
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO on Tuesday rejected Moscow's explanation that its warplanes violated the air space of alliance member Turkey at the weekend by mistake and said Russia was sending more ground troops to Syria and building up its naval presence.With Russia extending its air strikes to include the ancient city of Palmyra, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he was losing patience with Russian violations of his country's air space."An attack on Turkey means an attack on NATO," Erdogan warned at a Brussels news conference.NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had reports of a substantial Russian military build-up in Syria, including ground troops and ships in the eastern Mediterranean."I will not speculate on the motives ... but this does not look like an accident and we have seen two of them," Stoltenberg said of the air incursions over Turkey's border with Syria. He noted that they "lasted for a long time".The incidents, which NATO has described as "extremely dangerous" and "unacceptable", underscore the risks of a further escalation of the Syrian civil war, as Russian and U.S. warplanes fly combat missions over the same country for the first time since World War Two.The Russian Defense Ministry had said that an SU-30 warplane had entered Turkish air space along the border with Syria "for a few seconds" on Saturday, a mistake caused by bad weather. NATO says a plane also entered Turkish air space on Sunday, an incident Russia says it is looking into.Separately, a U.S. official told Reuters the incursions lasted more than a few seconds and described Moscow's assertion that the incursions were an accident as "far-fetched".Stoltenberg said the U.S.-led alliance had not received "any real explanation" from Russia about the incursions.AIR SPACE VIOLATIONS-Disagreement over the air space violations came after disputes over the exact aims of the Russian air campaign. Moscow says it is attacking Islamic State but the West has accused it of striking other rebel groups to prop up its ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.In a further incident, a MIG-29 fighter of unknown nationality and Syria-based missile systems "interfered" with eight Turkish F-16 jets patrolling along the Syrian border on Monday, the Turkish military said.According to a statement, the MIG-29 locked its radar onto the Turkish patrol for 4 minutes 30 seconds. The same planes were also harassed by a Syria-based missile system for 4 minutes 15 seconds. These are not the first such flashpoints. A Turkish jet was shot down by the Syrian air force in 2012 over the Mediterranean and earlier this year Turkey shot down a Syrian helicopter which Ankara said had violated its airspace. Russia's NATO envoy said the alliance was using the accidental incursion to distort the aims of Moscow's air campaign in Syria, according to the TASS news agency."The impression is that the incident in Turkish air space was used to plug NATO as an organization into the information campaign waged by the West to distort the aims of the operations carried out by the Russian air force in Syria," Alexander Grushko was quoted as telling reporters in Brussels.The United States, leading the coalition attacking Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, wants to avoid being drawn into a proxy war with Russia.With that in mind, Russia's defense ministry said it agreed in principle with U.S. proposals on coordinating military flights in Syria. The ministry said it was ready to hold talks with Turkey to avoid "misunderstandings" over Syria and it invited foreign military officers to Moscow for talks on how best to fight Islamic State.Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he will not put ground forces in Syria, where the civil war has killed 250,000 people. However, Stoltenberg said there was a growing presence of Russian forces in Syria."I can confirm that we have seen a substantial build-up of Russian forces in Syria: air forces, air defenses, but also ground troops in connection with the air base they have, and we also see an increased naval presence," Stoltenberg said.RUSSIAN TANKS-U.S. officials have previously said Russia has sent seven T-90 tanks, some artillery, and about 200 marines. It has also deployed temporary housing units, a portable air traffic control station and components for an air defense system.Russian defense ministry sources have been quoted in Russian media as saying about 1,500 Russian servicemen are involved in supporting the air strikes and supplying the Syrian army with equipment.The Russian Defense Ministry itself has said it has more than 50 warplanes and helicopters in Syria. Russia's Tartous naval facility there is a logistics base and has been overhauled in recent years. It is being used to unload equipment, some of which is also being flown in.Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov, the head of the lower house of the Russian parliament's defense committee, said Moscow was not conducting operations in Syria involving its own ground troops and would not do so, according to the RIA Novosti news agency.Pressing ahead with an air campaign that began nearly a week ago, Russian jets hit Islamic State targets in Palmyra and the northern province of Aleppo, Syrian state television said, in some of the heaviest Russian attacks on the hardline group.Islamic State forces captured Palmyra in May, an advance which brought them closer to the core of government-held territory in western Syria. It also put the city's Roman-era ruins under the militants' control.(Additional reporting by Phil Stewart in Madrid, Andrew Osborn and Maria Kiselyova in Moscow; Writing by Giles Elgood, editing by Peter Millership)
Russian military officials visit Israel for Syria talks-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Jerusalem (AFP) - Russian military officials were to hold talks with their Israeli counterparts in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after the countries' leaders agreed to establish a mechanism to avoid accidental clashes in Syria. Israel's military confirmed the two-day meeting on "regional coordination," which comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks last month related to Syria.The two agreed on a mechanism to avoid "misunderstandings" and clashes in Syrian airspace between the two militaries' jets.Tuesday's talks were to include Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Nikolai Bogdanovsky and his Israeli counterpart Yair Golan.Israeli military officials reportedly fear that Russian air strikes could cut their room for manoeuvre in Syria.Several purported strikes on Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah through Syria have occurred in recent months that were not officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities.Moscow informed Israel it was about to launch air strikes in Syria before its attacks last week, the first by Russian warplanes in the years-old conflict.Russian warplanes have been flying over Syrian territory since Wednesday, conducting air strikes on what Moscow says are targets belonging to Islamic State group jihadists in the country's northern and central provinces.The West has accused Moscow of using the raids as cover to hit moderate opponents of Russian ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.Israel opposes Assad, but has sought to avoid being dragged into the war in neighbouring Syria.It also fears that Iran could increase its support for Hezbollah and other militant groups as international sanctions are gradually lifted under a July nuclear deal that Moscow helped negotiate between Tehran and world powers.Netanyahu has said he is determined to stop arms deliveries to Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah movement and accused Syria's army and Iran of trying to create a "second front" against Israel.
IMF says Iran nuclear deal to boost Mideast economy-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Dubai (AFP) - Iran's landmark nuclear deal will lift economic growth in the war-plagued Middle East next year as the rolling back of sanctions brings a rebound in oil exports, the IMF said Tuesday.But the outlook for this year has worsened over the past six months, partly because of the conflicts raging in Yemen and Libya, the International Monetary Fund said in its semi-annual World Economic Outlook.But growth in the Middle East and North Africa will "pick up substantially in 2016, supported by accelerated activity in the Islamic Republic of Iran," it said."The lifting of sanctions... should allow for a recovery in oil production and exports," it added, while predicting "a gradual improvement in the outlook for countries severely affected by conflicts, such as Iraq, Libya and Yemen".Regional growth is seen slowing to 2.3 percent this year from 2.6 percent in 2014, before rebounding to 3.8 percent in 2016.Oil exporters, which include the Gulf states, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Algeria, account for most of the weakness in growth this year."Spillovers from regional conflicts and intensified security and social tensions are weighing on confidence and holding back higher growth," the IMF said."Low oil prices are taking a toll on the outlook for oil exporters," it added, projecting oil prices will average $52 a barrel this year.Iran's economy is set to grow a meagre 0.8 percent this year but expand a healthy 4.4 percent in 2016 following the agreement reached between Tehran and major powers in July.The deal seeks to curb Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of crippling international sanctions."Without sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran is expected to increase its capacity to 500,000 to 800,000 barrels a day within two years," IMF said.Another bright spot for next year is Iraq, OPEC's second largest crude exporter, which is expected to see a 7.1 percent expansion, following zero growth this year.OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia, the largest economy in the region, is forecast to grow by 3.4 percent this year followed by 2.2 percent next year, the IMF said.The economy of impoverished Yemen, where pro-government troops backed by an Arab coalition are battling rebels who control large parts of the country, is expected to expand 11.6 percent in 2016 after a 28.1 percent crash this year.
More than 114,000 flee Yemen war: UN-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Nairobi (AFP) - More than 114,000 people have fled war-torn Yemen, and the figure could reach at least 200,000 by the end of 2016, aid officials said Tuesday.Fighting escalated in March when Saudi-led airstrikes began targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels to defend embattled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi."Close to 70,000 people fleeing the crisis have arrived in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan," the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement."Up to 44,080 people are reported to have arrived in Saudi Arabia and Oman."The IOM said the number of people fleeing Yemen to neighbouring nations could rise to over 200,000 by the end of next year."Refugees and migrants arrive after many hours at sea often traumatised and exhausted, with few personal belongings, and in urgent need of food, water and emergency healthcare," top IOM official Ashraf El Nour said, at a meeting in the Kenyan capital to coordinate the response to the crisis."The most pressing response therefore is to address their basic needs, and to register and provide documentation to enable access to essential services."The UN says the Yemeni conflict has killed about 5,000 people and wounded 25,000, among them many civilians. Tens of thousands of Somali refugees have also fled back home from Yemen, adding to three million already in need in the Horn of Africa nation.Most of the Somali refugees, who originally fled hunger and conflict in Somalia before being caught up in war in Yemen, have crossed the Gulf of Aden by boat to the Horn of Africa country's northern Somaliland and Puntland regions.

Israel's controversial practice of razing homes-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel demolished Tuesday the houses of two Palestinians involved in attacks last year, reverting to a controversial measure it claims is a deterrent. Here is an explanation of the practice:Resumption of demolitions-Security forces destroyed the former homes of Ghassan Abu Jamal and Mohammed Jaabis in the Jabel Mukaber district in east Jerusalem, the Palestinian side of the city annexed by Israel.Israel had for several years stopped this form of punishment in Jerusalem, despite using it widely in the occupied West Bank.But this changed on November 19, 2014, after orders from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Israeli forces blew up the east Jerusalem home of Abdelrahman Shaludi, a Palestinian who the previous month had killed a Ecuadorian woman and a 22-month-old baby when he rammed his car into them, before being shot by police.At the time, with tensions already high, several other homes were also slated for demolition.However, the government did not destroy them, perhaps waiting for a more suitable time. One home to be razed was in the volatile Shuafat refugee camp.Until November 2014, Israel had not resorted to punitive demolitions in Jerusalem since 2009, according to Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli lawyer who specialises in issues related to the city.Deterrent or collective punishment? The demolitions are intended to deter Palestinians who may not fear for their own lives in carrying out attacks, but who could be concerned with the welfare of the families they leave behind.Israeli rights organisation B'Tselem says that the main victims of such demolitions are relatives forced to pay for another person's actions.Israel's close ally the United States has been among those who have said the measure only serves to increase tensions.Officials at the Israeli defence ministry seemed to share this point of view in 2005, at the end of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising. After 664 home demolitions across the occupied territories in previous years, they ordered an end to them.Instead of acting as a deterrent, they actually provoked Palestinians into carrying out attacks, the army had concluded. Despite that, such demolitions continued outside of Jerusalem.Before Tuesday's demolitions, the Israeli army demolished the house of a man said to be a Hamas official in the Jenin refugee camp during a raid to arrest him in September. The man was released a few days later.
Abbas says does not want escalation with Israel-Reuters By Ali Sawafta-oct 6,15-yahoonews
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday he did not want a spike in deadly violence in East Jerusalem and the Israeli-occupied West Bank to spiral into armed confrontation with Israel.Four Israelis have been killed since Thursday in a stabbing and a drive-by shooting blamed on Palestinian militants. Police shot dead the Palestinian knife-wielder and the military arrested five members of the Islamist Hamas group for the shooting.Two Palestinians, one of them a 13-year-old, have been killed and about 170 injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank since Sunday. Another Palestinian man, suspected of having stabbed and wounded an Israeli teen, was shot dead by police in Jerusalem.With Israeli-Palestinian peace talks dormant since 2014, the bloodshed has raised concerns about a wider escalation and a possible third Palestinian uprising, though it has not reached the level of past Israeli-Palestinian confrontations.Abbas, at a gathering of the Palestine Liberation Organization, signaled that he hoped to avoid violent conflict, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a series of security measures that fell short of an extensive military operation."We tell them (the Israelis) that we do not want either military or security escalation," Abbas said at the PLO meeting. "All our instructions to our (security) agencies, our factions and our youth have been that we do not want escalation."As part of Netanyahu's pledged steps to stem what he termed a "wave of terrorism," Israeli forces destroyed the homes of two Palestinian militants and sealed off part of a third in and around Jerusalem before dawn on Tuesday, the Israeli military said.The militants had carried out attacks on Israelis in 2014 and had all been shot dead by Israeli security forces. Their families still resided in the three homes in question.Israel has said such demolitions are punitive and can also serve as a deterrent to other potential attackers. Human rights groups condemn the demolition policy as collective punishment.Netanyahu, who visited an army base in the West Bank on Tuesday, said other measures would include installing security cameras on West Bank roads and a greater Israeli police presence in East Jerusalem.Recent tensions have been inflamed in particular by frequent clashes between Palestinian stone-throwers and Israeli security forces at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third-holiest shrine.Palestinians fear increasing visits by Jewish groups to al-Aqsa, revered by Jews as the site of biblical temples, are eroding longtime Muslim religious control there. Netanyahu has said he is committed to maintaining the status quo at al-Aqsa.(Additional reporting by Ammar Awad in Jerusalem; Writing by Maayan Lubell; Editing by Jeffrey Heller and Mark Heinrich)
The Latest: Israeli army finds rifle suspected to have been used in shooting death of Israelis-The Canadian PressBy The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
JERUSALEM - The latest developments in ongoing tensions between Palestinians and Israel following days of violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank (all times local).
4:30 p.m.The Israeli military says it has recovered an assault rifle believed to have been used by Palestinian militants in the shooting attack that killed an Israeli settler couple in the West Bank last week.The military says the perpetrators confessed to hiding the weapon in a shop owned by a member of the group responsible for the attack. Overnight, forces found the weapon in the shop in the West Bank city of Nablus, the military says.The current rash of violence began Thursday when Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli couple in their car near a settlement in the West Bank as their four children watched from the backseat.Israeli authorities on Monday said they arrested five Palestinians affiliated with the Islamic militant group Hamas who plotted and carried out the attack. The militants opened fire from their vehicle on the Israeli family's car, and after the car stopped, two Palestinians approached the car and fired at the couple from close range, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said.
3:15 p.m.Israel Radio says it has obtained official Palestinian government documents confirming hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to prisoners convicted in some of the deadliest attacks on Israelis.Tuesday's report comes after days of violent clashes and repeated Israeli accusations of Palestinian incitement to violence.Palestinians have long acknowledged paying support to the families of prisoners held by Israel, but payments personally to prisoners convicted in deadly attacks have never been made public.Israel Radio claims the documents show the hefty sums given to those serving multiple life sentences in Israeli prisons. They include Hamas militants behind suicide bombings that killed dozens of Israelis.Ashraf al-Ajrami, a former Palestinian minister for prisoners, confirmed the report, saying the prisoners are "heroes" and the money is for their families.
2:50 p.m.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he has no interest in an "escalation" and is ready to talk with Israel.The remarks came at a meeting of top Palestinian officials on Tuesday over the latest surge in violence.Abbas says he has told the Israelis that the Palestinians don't want "military and security escalations." He says the message has been delivered to Palestinian security forces and activists.But Abbas also added that "at the same time, we will protect ourselves."He urged Israel to stop building settlements, carry out a previously pledged prisoner release and return to peace talks.
2:30 p.m.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited the site in the West Bank where Palestinian gunmen last week killed an Israeli couple in their car as their four children watched from the backseat.The attack kicked off a bloody holiday weekend in which four Israelis and four Palestinians were killed amid violent protests.During the visit on Tuesday, Netanyahu pledged that his country will "break this wave of terror like we broke previous waves of terror." The day before, the Israeli leader promised that he will use a "strong hand" to quell violent Palestinian protests and deadly attacks.Netanyahu also says Israel will deploy cameras along major West Bank routes to help prevent further attacks.Israel has already sent thousands of soldiers to battle the recent outbreak.
Netanyahu vows 'strong hand' against Palestinians throwing stones, firebombs-The Canadian PressBy Ian Deitch And Mohammed Daraghmeh, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 5,15-yahoonews
JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday that he will use a "strong hand" to quell violent Palestinian protests and deadly attacks, signalling that the current round of violence is bound to escalate at a time when a political solution to the conflict is increasingly distant.Netanyahu said he has sent thousands more soldiers and police to the West Bank and Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem and that "we are allowing our forces to take strong action against those who throw rocks and firebombs." He said restrictions limiting what security forces can do were being lifted, but did not elaborate.Netanyahu's warnings came after a rash of violence that began Thursday when Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli couple in their car near a settlement in the West Bank as their four children watched. Two days later, a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli man to death and seriously wounded his wife as they walked in Jerusalem's Old City, then attacked and killed another Israeli man.Israeli forces, meanwhile, killed two suspected Palestinian assailants over the weekend and on Monday shot dead two teenage stone-throwers, one of them a 13-year-old boy, in West Bank clashes.In all, eight Palestinians were wounded by live fire and 45 by rubber-coated steel pellets in the West Bank and Jerusalem on Monday, the Red Crescent said.The spike in attacks and clashes comes at a time of mounting Palestinian frustration.After years of diplomatic paralysis, many have lost hope in the chance of setting up a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has not offered an alternative to failed negotiations, except to urge the international community to intervene, so far to little avail. President Barack Obama made no mention of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly last week, an omission noted by the Palestinians.Netanyahu has repeatedly accused Abbas of inciting the violence and of having no interest in negotiating a peace deal. Abbas has countered that Netanyahu is acting in bad faith by promoting continued settlement expansion on territory Palestinians claim for their future state.Tensions have also risen over a major Jerusalem shrine that is sacred to Muslims and Jews and is key to the rival national narratives of the two sides. Many Palestinians believe that Israel is trying to expand a Jewish presence at the site, a claim Netanyahu has denied. The hilltop compound is revered by Muslims as the spot where Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven and by Jews as the site of the two Jewish biblical Temples.There have been several days of clashes at the site over the past few weeks as Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque while hurling stones, firebombs and fireworks at police. The unrest later spread to Arab neigh bourhoods of east Jerusalem and to the West Bank.Netanyahu convened his Security Cabinet, a group of key ministers, at the end of a two-day Jewish holiday Monday evening."We are acting with a strong hand against terrorism and against inciters," he said before the meeting. "We are operating on all fronts. We have brought an additional four ... battalions into Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), and thousands of police into Jerusalem."He pledged an unprecedented crackdown, saying police had moved deeper into Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem than in the past.He again accused the Palestinian leadership of incitement, lumping Abbas with the Palestinian leader's main domestic rival, the Islamic militant Hamas.Despite Netanyahu's warning about a lifting of restrictions on security forces, an Israeli army spokesman, Lt. Maj. Peter Lerner, said there was no change in troops' open fire-rules.Meanwhile, Abbas convened his security commanders late Monday, telling them they must try to prevent what he described as an Israeli attempt to drag the Palestinians into violence, according to an official statement.The latest unrest has put Abbas in a difficult position, said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member in the Palestine Liberation Organization."He does not condone violence and he will not allow violence, but at the same time, people are really pushed beyond endurance," she said.The military and the Shin Bet security service said Monday that Israeli forces arrested five Palestinian suspects in the killing of the settler couple last week. The U.S. State Department said Monday one of the victims, Eitam Henkin, held dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship. An army statement said the suspects were affiliated with Hamas in the West Bank city of Nablus.The statement said one of the assailants was accidentally shot and wounded by his colleagues and dropped his pistol. The group fled to Nablus, leaving behind the weapon.Israel TV's Channel 10 said Israeli undercover forces later raided a Nablus hospital and seized the wounded man. The channel showed CCTV footage of the raid, including men in civilian clothes running along a hallway.In Nablus, relatives of the man taken from the hospital said he was seized before dawn Sunday. They identified him as 23-year-old Karam al-Masri."We have no idea if he was or not in the attack but we are concerned about his health because his injury is serious, according to doctors," said an uncle, Ayman al-Masri.Earlier Monday, confrontations erupted in the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem, just south of Jerusalem, and in the northern town of Tulkarem.In Bethlehem, stone-throwers clashed with Israeli troops near Rachel's Tomb, a frequent flashpoint near where Israel's separation barrier juts into the city.A doctor at a nearby hospital said 13-year-old, Abdel Rahman Shadi died after being hit by a live bullet to the chest while another Palestinian protester was wounded.The Israeli military said dozens of Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli soldiers near the site. Troops initially fired tear gas and then responded with live rounds, the army said.In Tulkarem, an 18-year-old Palestinian, Huthaifa Suleiman, was killed by live fire, according to the doctor there. Both doctors spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.Hamas said Suleiman was a member of the group.The military said hundreds of Palestinians threw firebombs and rocks at soldiers, and rolled burning tires toward them in the Tulkarem clash. The army said troops fired tear gas, stun grenades and then live rounds.___Associated Press writer Karin Laub contributed to this report from Amman, Jordan.

Pope aims to assure conservatives: marriage doctrine safe-Associated Press-oct 6,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has sought to assure conservatives that Catholic doctrine on marriage isn't up for discussion as a three-week meeting of bishops begins hashing out how the church should welcome gays, divorcees and Catholics in "irregular" unions.Francis took the floor Tuesday after the meeting's first day was marked by a speech from the synod manager, Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo, in which he closed the door on any movement on whether Catholics remarried outside the church could receive Communion.Francis said the issue wasn't the only one on the table and church doctrine isn't up for debate. But in recounting Francis' closed-door speech, the Vatican spokesman also seemed to discount Erdo's stance by noting the synod is discussing a papally approved working text, where the Communion question is still open.
Church should shun derogatory words on gays, Vatican synod told-ReutersBy By Philip Pullella | Reuters – oct 6,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Catholics should stop using condescending language such as "pity" towards homosexuals and find ways to welcome them as sons and daughters of the Church, bishops have told a major gathering on the family.The comments supporting more inclusive language for homosexuals in the Church were made in the first two rounds of interventions at the closed-door gathering, known as a synod, Vatican officials told a news conference on Tuesday.The calls by over half a dozen bishops for more inclusive language on homosexuals stood out because conservative clerics made sure an interim report at a preliminary meeting last year deleted a passage they thought was too welcoming to gays."(The bishops said) there must be an end to exclusionary language and a strong emphasis on embracing reality as it is. We should not be afraid of new and complex situations," Father Tom Rosica said in summarising some of the interventions.He said that the bishops had called for "a new form of language, in particular in speaking of homosexuals ... we do not pity gay persons but we recognise them for who they are. They are our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, our neighbours and our colleagues."In a document written by former Pope Benedict before his election and still cited by conservatives, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger described homosexuals as "intrinsically disordered".MODERN FAMILIES-Rosica, who attends the meetings, said the bishops who advocated a more welcoming Church for homosexuals argued that gays should not be treated as "outsiders" and the Church should extend "a hand of welcome to them (as) our flesh and blood".The synod of more than 300 bishops, delegates and observers, including 13 married couples, will be meeting for three weeks in the presence of Pope Francis to discuss how the 1.2 billion member Church can confront challenges facing the modern family.Since his election in 2013, Francis has given great hope to progressives who want him to forge ahead with his vision of a more inclusive Church that concentrates on mercy rather than the strict enforcement of rigid rules they see as antiquated.The bishops will discuss ways to defend the traditional family and make life-long marriage more appealing to young people while reaching out to disaffected Catholics such as homosexuals, co-habiting couples and the divorced.The gathering has been preceded by intense jockeying between conservatives and liberals on a host of sensitive issues.One key topic at the synod will be how to reach out to Catholics who have divorced and remarried in civil ceremonies.They are considered by the Church to be still married to their first spouse and living in a state of sin. Some bishops want a change to the rules that bars them from receiving sacraments such as communion.An introductory speech at the synod's opening on Monday led some to believe that the discussion on a possible change in rule concerning divorced Catholics was closed, but bishops at Tuesday's press conference disputed this."The discussion is still open," said Italian Archbishop Claudio Celli.(Reporting by Philip Pullella; Editing by Tom Heneghan)
Christian pastor survives knife attack at home in Bangladesh-Associated Press By JULHAS ALAM-oct 6,15-yahoonews
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A Bangladeshi pastor survived an attempt on his life by three men who came to his home pretending to want to learn about Christianity, police and the victim said Tuesday.The attempt follows two killings of foreigners last week in the predominantly Muslim country grappling with violence claimed by hard-line Islamic groups.The Islamic State group claimed it had carried out last week's attacks on a Japanese agricultural worker and an Italian aid worker. The IS claim has been rejected by Bangladesh's government, which accused the opposition of trying to destabilize the country.On Monday, the Rev. Luke Sarker, 52, suffered minor injuries when three men attacked him with a knife at his home in the northwestern district of Pabna, police official Siddikur Rahman said.Sarker, the pastor of Faith Bible Church, said the men had phoned him about two weeks ago saying they wanted to visit him to learn about Christianity.After they arrived at his home on Monday, the men suddenly attacked him with a knife and tried to slit his throat, Sarker said by telephone. But as he shouted, his wife came to his rescue and the men fled. Police later recovered a motorbike from outside his home.On Tuesday, police arrested a member of the Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of the opposition Jamaat-e-Islami political party, related to the attack on the pastor. Obaidul Islam was detained in a raid at his home at Ishwardi in Pabna, local police official Biman Kumar said."We are questioning him," Kumar said.Meanwhile, police said they have arrested two suspects in Saturday's attack on Japanese agricultural worker Kunio Hoshi in northern Bangladesh.Local businessman Humayun Kabir Hira and opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party activist Rashedunnabi Khan Biplob were produced before a magistrate and arrested, said local police Chief Rezaul Karim.Biplob, Hira and three others were detained soon after the killing but were not initially named as suspects. The others are still being questioned but so far are not considered suspects, Karim said.Hira owned a fishery near the farm where Hoshi was producing high-yielding grass as cattle feed and had helped the Japanese man lease the land he was farming, Karim said.The Islamic State group issued a statement claiming responsibility for that attack, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi postings online. The report could not be independently confirmed. The Islamic State also claimed responsibility for the Sept. 28 killing of Italian aid worker Cesare Tavella in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital.Foreign Minister A.H. Mahmood Ali brushed aside the Islamic State allegations while briefing foreign diplomats Tuesday."We don't have any proof (about IS claim). we don't have any credible information. The U.S. is also working to verify the claim," the United News of Bangladesh agency quoted the minister as saying.Robert Gibson, British high commissioner to Dhaka, said that they discussed the overall situation.He said the government assured them of a fair investigation."We're assured by the government that no stone will be left unturned," the agency quoted Gibson as saying.The government has blamed the country's main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its key ally, Jamaat-e-Islami, for the attacks, accusing the groups of trying to destabilize the country. The BNP denied the allegations.Bangladesh has been struggling in recent months with a rise in violence claimed by hard-line Islamic groups, banning several that have been blamed for killing four secular bloggers this year.
Ten Commandments monument removed from Oklahoma Capital grounds-Reuters By Heide Brandes-OCT 6,15-YAHOONEWS
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Under the cover of night, a 6-foot-tall (180-cm) granite monument inscribed with the Ten Commandments was removed from the Oklahoma Capitol grounds after judges said its placement on government land violated state law, officials said on Tuesday.The monument, which had drawn strong support from the Republican leadership of the socially conservative state, has been the subject of simmering lawsuits launched by groups who said its placement steps from the Capitol violated local laws and U.S. Constitutional provisions against government support of a religion.Along with a heavy security presence from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, workers began to remove the monument at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday, said John Estus, a spokesman for the state Office of Management and Enterprise Services.The statue will be installed outside the offices of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, a conservative public policy analysis group near the Capitol, he said.The removal was expected to cost about $5,000, said Wilbert Memorials, which installed the monument originally. It was unclear who paid for the move.In June, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the display violated the state constitution, which prohibits use of state property to further religions. Several Republican lawmakers threatened to seek the impeachment of the judges who ruled in favor of its removal.An Oklahoma County Judge in September ordered its removal by Oct. 12.Lawmakers have argued that the monument, which was paid for with private money and installed in 2012, was not serving a religious purpose but was meant to mark a historical event.That opened the door for other groups, including Satanists and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, to apply for permission to erect their own monuments on Capitol grounds to mark what they say are historical events.(Writing by Jon Herskovitz; Editing by Bill Trott)

Amid rash of breaches, cost of cybercrime rising for companies in US and abroad, study shows-The Canadian PressBy Bree Fowler, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – oct 6,15-yahoonews
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Cybercrime costs are climbing for companies both in the U.S. and overseas amid a slew of high-profile breaches, according to research released Tuesday.A sixth-annual study by the Ponemon Institute pegged the average annual cost of cybercrime per large U.S. company at $15.4 million. That's up 19 per cent from $12.7 million a year ago.It also represents an 82 per cent jump from Ponemon's inaugural study six years ago.Individually, cybercrime costs for the U.S. companies surveyed varied dramatically, ranging from $1.9 million to $65 million. And the average cost of a cyberattack on a U.S. company rose 22 per cent to $1.9 million from $1.5 million.Globally, the average annualized cost of cybercrime increased 1.9 per cent from last year to $7.7 million."As an industry we're getting better, but attacks are becoming much more invasive and sophisticated," said Andrzej Kawalec, chief technology officer for Hewlett-Packard Co.'s HP Enterprise Security, which sponsored the study and sells cybersecurity services to businesses.The study examined the total cost of responding to cybercrime incidents, including detection, recovery, investigation and incident-response management. It also looked at after-the-fact expenses designed to prevent additional costs stemming from the potential loss of business or customers.Recent expensive and embarrassing breaches at companies including Target, Home Depot and Sony Pictures have prompted many companies to boost their cyberdefenses.The study looked at a sample of 58 U.S. companies with at least 1,000 connections to its computer network. Globally, the study analyzed data from 252 companies in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, Russia and Brazil.___Follow Bree Fowler at https://twitter.com/APBreeFowler
Russia says claims its jets hit Syria's Palmyra 'absolute lie'-Reuters-oct 6,15-yahoonews
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian defence ministry on Tuesday angrily dismissed reports that its planes had launched air strikes against the Syrian city of Palmyra as false, the TASS news agency reported."All reports by foreign media that Russian planes allegedly struck the city of Palmyra are an absolute lie," Major-General Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the ministry, was quoted as saying."Our planes in Syria do not strike populated areas and especially ones with architectural monuments."Syrian state television and a monitoring group said earlier on Tuesday that Russian jets had hit Islamic State targets in Palmyra.(Reporting by Alex Winning; Editing by Andrew Osborn)
NATO rejects Russia explanation on Turkish air space-Reuters By Robin Emmott-oct 6,15-yahoonews
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO on Tuesday rejected Moscow's explanation that its warplanes violated the air space of alliance member Turkey at the weekend by mistake and said Russia was sending more ground troops to Syria and building up its naval presence.With Russia extending its air strikes to include the ancient city of Palmyra, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he was losing patience with Russian violations of his country's air space."An attack on Turkey means an attack on NATO," Erdogan warned at a Brussels news conference.NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had reports of a substantial Russian military build-up in Syria, including ground troops and ships in the eastern Mediterranean."I will not speculate on the motives ... but this does not look like an accident and we have seen two of them," Stoltenberg said of the air incursions over Turkey's border with Syria. He noted that they "lasted for a long time".The incidents, which NATO has described as "extremely dangerous" and "unacceptable", underscore the risks of a further escalation of the Syrian civil war, as Russian and U.S. warplanes fly combat missions over the same country for the first time since World War Two.The Russian Defense Ministry had said that an SU-30 warplane had entered Turkish air space along the border with Syria "for a few seconds" on Saturday, a mistake caused by bad weather. NATO says a plane also entered Turkish air space on Sunday, an incident Russia says it is looking into.Separately, a U.S. official told Reuters the incursions lasted more than a few seconds and described Moscow's assertion that the incursions were an accident as "far-fetched".Stoltenberg said the U.S.-led alliance had not received "any real explanation" from Russia about the incursions.AIR SPACE VIOLATIONS-Disagreement over the air space violations came after disputes over the exact aims of the Russian air campaign. Moscow says it is attacking Islamic State but the West has accused it of striking other rebel groups to prop up its ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.In a further incident, a MIG-29 fighter of unknown nationality and Syria-based missile systems "interfered" with eight Turkish F-16 jets patrolling along the Syrian border on Monday, the Turkish military said.According to a statement, the MIG-29 locked its radar onto the Turkish patrol for 4 minutes 30 seconds. The same planes were also harassed by a Syria-based missile system for 4 minutes 15 seconds. These are not the first such flashpoints. A Turkish jet was shot down by the Syrian air force in 2012 over the Mediterranean and earlier this year Turkey shot down a Syrian helicopter which Ankara said had violated its airspace. Russia's NATO envoy said the alliance was using the accidental incursion to distort the aims of Moscow's air campaign in Syria, according to the TASS news agency."The impression is that the incident in Turkish air space was used to plug NATO as an organization into the information campaign waged by the West to distort the aims of the operations carried out by the Russian air force in Syria," Alexander Grushko was quoted as telling reporters in Brussels.The United States, leading the coalition attacking Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, wants to avoid being drawn into a proxy war with Russia.With that in mind, Russia's defense ministry said it agreed in principle with U.S. proposals on coordinating military flights in Syria. The ministry said it was ready to hold talks with Turkey to avoid "misunderstandings" over Syria and it invited foreign military officers to Moscow for talks on how best to fight Islamic State.Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he will not put ground forces in Syria, where the civil war has killed 250,000 people. However, Stoltenberg said there was a growing presence of Russian forces in Syria."I can confirm that we have seen a substantial build-up of Russian forces in Syria: air forces, air defenses, but also ground troops in connection with the air base they have, and we also see an increased naval presence," Stoltenberg said.RUSSIAN TANKS-U.S. officials have previously said Russia has sent seven T-90 tanks, some artillery, and about 200 marines. It has also deployed temporary housing units, a portable air traffic control station and components for an air defense system.Russian defense ministry sources have been quoted in Russian media as saying about 1,500 Russian servicemen are involved in supporting the air strikes and supplying the Syrian army with equipment.The Russian Defense Ministry itself has said it has more than 50 warplanes and helicopters in Syria. Russia's Tartous naval facility there is a logistics base and has been overhauled in recent years. It is being used to unload equipment, some of which is also being flown in.Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov, the head of the lower house of the Russian parliament's defense committee, said Moscow was not conducting operations in Syria involving its own ground troops and would not do so, according to the RIA Novosti news agency.Pressing ahead with an air campaign that began nearly a week ago, Russian jets hit Islamic State targets in Palmyra and the northern province of Aleppo, Syrian state television said, in some of the heaviest Russian attacks on the hardline group.Islamic State forces captured Palmyra in May, an advance which brought them closer to the core of government-held territory in western Syria. It also put the city's Roman-era ruins under the militants' control.(Additional reporting by Phil Stewart in Madrid, Andrew Osborn and Maria Kiselyova in Moscow; Writing by Giles Elgood, editing by Peter Millership)
Russian military officials visit Israel for Syria talks-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Jerusalem (AFP) - Russian military officials were to hold talks with their Israeli counterparts in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after the countries' leaders agreed to establish a mechanism to avoid accidental clashes in Syria. Israel's military confirmed the two-day meeting on "regional coordination," which comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks last month related to Syria.The two agreed on a mechanism to avoid "misunderstandings" and clashes in Syrian airspace between the two militaries' jets.Tuesday's talks were to include Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Nikolai Bogdanovsky and his Israeli counterpart Yair Golan.Israeli military officials reportedly fear that Russian air strikes could cut their room for manoeuvre in Syria.Several purported strikes on Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah through Syria have occurred in recent months that were not officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities.Moscow informed Israel it was about to launch air strikes in Syria before its attacks last week, the first by Russian warplanes in the years-old conflict.Russian warplanes have been flying over Syrian territory since Wednesday, conducting air strikes on what Moscow says are targets belonging to Islamic State group jihadists in the country's northern and central provinces.The West has accused Moscow of using the raids as cover to hit moderate opponents of Russian ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.Israel opposes Assad, but has sought to avoid being dragged into the war in neighbouring Syria.It also fears that Iran could increase its support for Hezbollah and other militant groups as international sanctions are gradually lifted under a July nuclear deal that Moscow helped negotiate between Tehran and world powers.Netanyahu has said he is determined to stop arms deliveries to Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah movement and accused Syria's army and Iran of trying to create a "second front" against Israel.
IMF says Iran nuclear deal to boost Mideast economy-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Dubai (AFP) - Iran's landmark nuclear deal will lift economic growth in the war-plagued Middle East next year as the rolling back of sanctions brings a rebound in oil exports, the IMF said Tuesday.But the outlook for this year has worsened over the past six months, partly because of the conflicts raging in Yemen and Libya, the International Monetary Fund said in its semi-annual World Economic Outlook.But growth in the Middle East and North Africa will "pick up substantially in 2016, supported by accelerated activity in the Islamic Republic of Iran," it said."The lifting of sanctions... should allow for a recovery in oil production and exports," it added, while predicting "a gradual improvement in the outlook for countries severely affected by conflicts, such as Iraq, Libya and Yemen".Regional growth is seen slowing to 2.3 percent this year from 2.6 percent in 2014, before rebounding to 3.8 percent in 2016.Oil exporters, which include the Gulf states, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Algeria, account for most of the weakness in growth this year."Spillovers from regional conflicts and intensified security and social tensions are weighing on confidence and holding back higher growth," the IMF said."Low oil prices are taking a toll on the outlook for oil exporters," it added, projecting oil prices will average $52 a barrel this year.Iran's economy is set to grow a meagre 0.8 percent this year but expand a healthy 4.4 percent in 2016 following the agreement reached between Tehran and major powers in July.The deal seeks to curb Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of crippling international sanctions."Without sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran is expected to increase its capacity to 500,000 to 800,000 barrels a day within two years," IMF said.Another bright spot for next year is Iraq, OPEC's second largest crude exporter, which is expected to see a 7.1 percent expansion, following zero growth this year.OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia, the largest economy in the region, is forecast to grow by 3.4 percent this year followed by 2.2 percent next year, the IMF said.The economy of impoverished Yemen, where pro-government troops backed by an Arab coalition are battling rebels who control large parts of the country, is expected to expand 11.6 percent in 2016 after a 28.1 percent crash this year.
More than 114,000 flee Yemen war: UN-AFP-oct 6,15-yahoonews
Nairobi (AFP) - More than 114,000 people have fled war-torn Yemen, and the figure could reach at least 200,000 by the end of 2016, aid officials said Tuesday.Fighting escalated in March when Saudi-led airstrikes began targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels to defend embattled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi."Close to 70,000 people fleeing the crisis have arrived in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan," the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement."Up to 44,080 people are reported to have arrived in Saudi Arabia and Oman."The IOM said the number of people fleeing Yemen to neighbouring nations could rise to over 200,000 by the end of next year."Refugees and migrants arrive after many hours at sea often traumatised and exhausted, with few personal belongings, and in urgent need of food, water and emergency healthcare," top IOM official Ashraf El Nour said, at a meeting in the Kenyan capital to coordinate the response to the crisis."The most pressing response therefore is to address their basic needs, and to register and provide documentation to enable access to essential services."The UN says the Yemeni conflict has killed about 5,000 people and wounded 25,000, among them many civilians. Tens of thousands of Somali refugees have also fled back home from Yemen, adding to three million already in need in the Horn of Africa nation.Most of the Somali refugees, who originally fled hunger and conflict in Somalia before being caught up in war in Yemen, have crossed the Gulf of Aden by boat to the Horn of Africa country's northern Somaliland and Puntland regions.
