Syria: Iran vows it will not allow Assad to fall

Iran pledged that its "axis" with Syria will "never" be allowed to break when Tehran sought to bolster President Bashar al-Assad by sending a senior envoy to Damascus.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad

Mr Assad made his first appearance on state television for over a fortnight, promising to continue the struggle against his enemies "without respite".
Iran has been trying to guarantee the survival of Mr Assad, who serves as Tehran's only reliable ally in the Middle East, by supplying Syria's regime with funds, weaponry and expert personnel to aid the campaign against rebels.
Saeed Jalili, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, came to Damascus as a visible symbol of that support.
"Iran will never allow the resistance axis – of which Syria is an essential pillar – to break," he said. The "axis of resistance" refers to the Middle East's anti-Western powers: Iran, Syria and the armed groups, Hizbollah and Hamas, although in reality the latter has already broken away by ending its presence in Damascus.
Iran and Syria both claim that foreign countries have caused the uprising against Mr Assad with the aim of destroying the "axis". During his visit, Mr Jalili echoed that message. "What is happening in Syria is not an internal issue but a conflict between the axis of resistance on one hand, and the regional and global enemies of this axis on the other," he said.
Syria's regime has suffered a series of reverses in recent weeks, with Riyad Hijab, the prime minister, defecting on Monday and denouncing Mr Assad's "murderous" government.
The rebel Free Syrian Army now controls much of the country: its fighters are struggling for possession of Aleppo, the commercial capital. The FSA claimed to be delaying the regime's advance on the city at the end of a day of intense fighting. Mr Assad's forces had been unable or unwilling to enter the key district of Salaheddin, despite reinforcements of thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks, according to rebel spokesmen. The insurgents were also encircling government troops in the northern half of Aleppo. They believe the army's inability to fully employ tanks in built-up areas has blunted its assault.
On Tuesday, however, Mr Assad reassured his Iranian guest of his determination to fight on. "The Syrian people and their government are determined to purge the country of terrorists and to fight the terrorists without respite," he said.
The Iranian envoy also demanded the release of 48 of his country's citizens, who were kidnapped by Syrian rebels while visiting a shrine near Damascus. Mr Jalili pledged to use "all means possible" to win their freedom. An official letter sent to the US administration by Iran's foreign ministry said that Washington, as the "manifest" sponsor of "terrorist groups" in Syria, was responsible for the captives' safety.
The rebels, for their part, claimed that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were among the hostages. They believe that Iran has sent soldiers from this unit to fight alongside Syrian forces. The pilgrimage was, the rebels say, merely a cover for infiltrating more Iranian combatants into the country. To support this allegation, the rebels produced military identity cards supposedly found on the hostages.
However, any Iranian who has performed compulsory military service will hold these documents: they do not prove current membership of the country's armed forces.
Syria's regime, dominated by members of the Alawite sect of Shia Islam, bases its alliance with Iran's Shia rulers on religious fraternity. In addition, Syria provides Iran with its only base for influence in the Arab world, as well as offering a route for supplying weapons to Hizbollah, the radical Shia group based in south Lebanon.
If Mr Assad were to be overthrown, Iran would risk losing this influence and its vital link to Hizbollah. Experts believe this would amount to a strategic setback. "For Iran, Syria is a very important partner in a region where allies are not easy to come by," said Gareth Stansfield, from the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House. "If Assad goes, he will replaced by a government that is likely to be totally antipathetic to Iran's wider interests."
Sixteen civilians - mostly Alawites and Christians - meanwhile were killed by anti-regime gunmen in an attack on a housing compound near Homs, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The majority of Syria’s population is Sunni Muslim, while the ruling clan of President Bashar al-Assad belong to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam.

US Election: Barack Obama feels 'genuine disdain' for Mitt Romney

President Barack Obama feels "a genuine disdain" for Mitt Romney far beyond the dislike he ever felt for John McCain or Hillary Clinton, according to a new book.

US Election: Barack Obama feels 'genuine disdain' for Mitt Romney

Having begun the 2012 election without strong feelings towards his Republican rival, Mr Obama has reportedly grown to despise him and now subscribes to one of the most common criticisms of the former Massachusetts governor: that he stands for nothing and will say anything to get elected.
"There was a baseline of respect for John McCain. The President always thought he was an honourable man and a war hero," one Obama adviser is quoted as saying in 'Obama's Last Stand', an forthcoming book by journalists at the Politico news website. "That doesn't hold true for Romney. He was no goddamned war hero."
White House aides were reportedly relieved as the President began to voice his contempt for Mr Romney, believing they can channel his anger on the campaign trail and keep Mr Obama motivated throughout the brutal election.
During his first rally of the election, Mr Obama described his opponent as "a patriotic American who has raised a wonderful family" but since then has done nothing to curb personal attacks on Mr Romney by his staff or other Democrat politicians.
Stephanie Cutter, the Obama 2012 deputy campaign manager, speculated last month that the Republican candidate might be personally guilty of a felony by improperly filing business records. She later refused to apologise for the unsubstantiated claim .
Early in the election – cautious that Mr Obama remains personally popular even as his job approval ratings have slumped to below 50 per cent – Mr Romney would regularly describe his opponent as "a nice guy" who was out of his depth.
His rhetoric has become significantly harsher as the general election approaches, accusing Mr Obama of cronyism and of trying to warp American society into a "European-style" collectivist state.
The two White House contenders are believed to have only met twice in person and each time very briefly. By contrast, Mr Obama spent long hours in the Senate with both Mr McCain and Mrs Clinton.
Despite his relatively mild manners and general courteousness, Mr Romney has long inspired an intense personal antipathy among his political rivals.
Race of a Lifetime, a book considered the definitive account of the last election, describes a scene before one of the 2008 Republican primary debates where Mr McCain, Rudy Giuliani and several others Republican contenders gathered in the lavatory in the moments before taking the stage.
As they lined up at the urinals, the candidates began loudly mocking Mr Romney and joking about how much they disliked him, only for him to walk in and be met with an excruciating silence.
Mr Romney is unlikely to be fazed by reports of the President's dislike for him and instead taking encouragement from figures showing he raised more money than Mr Obama for a third straight month in a row.
The Republican raised $101.3 million in July (£65 million) compared to Mr Obama's $75 million (£48 million). According to the New York Times, the Obama campaign is also burning through money far more quickly than its opponents, having spent $400 million (£256 million) since the beginning of last year – more than any incumbent in recent history.
The Romney camp's fund-raising advantage has forced Mr Obama to hold more fund-raisers for top donors while bombarding regular supporters with increasingly desperate pleas for small donations.
In its latest bid for cash, the Obama campaign is raffling off an invitation to the President's birthday party which will be held at his private Chicago home on Sunday.

Sikh temple massacre gunman was 'white supremacist' Wade Michael Page

Wade Michael Page, a gunman who shot dead six worshippers at a Sikh temple was a white supremacist who had previously served in the US Army, officials said.

Sikh temple massacre gunman was 'white supremacist' Wade Michael Page
Pictures show him heavily tattooed. Neighbours said that he had a tattoo commemorating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on his right arm, a common indicator of far-Right and anti-Muslim affiliations.
On Monday, the police said that they were seeking a second "person of interest". Officers want to speak to a man who was seen filming groups of Sikhs outside the temple after the attack. The man was captured on film by local news media and he too has a "9/11/01" tattoo on his upper right arm.
Wade shot dead six people and injured three others, including a police officer, before he was shot dead by armed police.
Officially no motive has been disclosed, but yesterday it emerged that Page, whose name was released by US Attorney James A. Santelle, is a former army officer who fronted a neo-Nazi white supremacist band.
Page's band was called End Apathy and had recently given an interview to a local record label website in which he spoke about his "frustration that we have the potential to accomplish so much more as individuals and a society in whole [sic]."
Page's rampage comes just two weeks after James Holmes murdered 12 people and injured 51 others after opening fire in a cinema in Aurora, Colorado during a screening of new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.
On Monday it emerged that Page was in the army from 1992 to 1998 before being discharged for a "pattern" of misconduct including drunkenness and going Awol. It was reported that he had purchased the 9mm handgun used in the rampage legally from a store in Wisconsin.
The Southern Poverty Law Centre, a group that monitors racists, said that they had been tracking Page since 2000, when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance, described as a neo-Nazi organisation.
Heidi Beirich, a director of the group, said there was "no question" Page was a believer in the white supremacist movement. She said her organisation had evidence that he attended "hate events" around the country. "He was involved in the scene," she told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Also on Monday the names of Page's victims were released. They included the temple's president, Satwant Singh Kaleka. The others were brothers Sita and Ranjit Singh, Subage Singh, Parmjit Kaur and Parkash Singh.
It also emerged that the police officer shot and injured was Brian Murphy, 51, a veteran of more than 20 years and once a candidate to become the Oak Creek police chief.
Sikhs in the United States have suffered an increase in attacks since the September 11 attacks by perpetrators seeking 'revenge' who mistook them for Muslims.
Following the massacre, Manjit Singh, leader of a Sikh political party in India said Sikhs are an "an important part of America" but that their beliefs and contributions must be given a higher profile. "This is a racially motivated case and the (US) government needs to educate people about different communities so it doesn't happen again," he said.
President Barack Obama led the tributes in the US saying he was “deeply saddened” by the attack although Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, on Monday said the massacre would not prompt a fresh drive for gun control measures.
Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime minister, who is himself a Sikh, said: "I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the shooting incident that has resulted in the loss of precious lives. That this senseless act of violence should be targeted at a place of religious worship is particularly painful,"
Sikh leaders in India called for a campaign to highlight their distinct religion.
Manjit Singh, leader of a Sikh political party said Sikhs are an "an important part of America" but that their beliefs and contributions must be given a higher profile.
"This is a racially motivated case and the (US) government needs to educate people about different communities so it doesn't happen again," he said.

First arrest in WPc Yvonne Fletcher’s murder case imminent: report

WPc Yvonne Fletcher was killed shot dead in 1984 as she policed a demonstration in front of the Libyan embassy in London.

UK and Libyan authorities have become closer to making the first arrest in the murder case of WPC Yvonne Fletcher who was shot dead in 1984 as she policed a demonstration against Muammar Qaddafi outside the Libyan embassy in London.

The Sunday Telegraph has unveiled pictures of the main suspect, Salah Eddin Khalifa, whom it said currently lives in a “North African city” after the fall of former leader Qaddafi’s regime.
The paper did not indicate whether that city was inside Libya or in another North African country.

It quoted Taha Bara, a spokesman for the Libyan prosecutor-general’s office, as saying that a probe into the murder case was ongoing and that no arrest is likely before the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Bara told The Telegraph that Libyan officials will discuss the case with their UK counterparts in London after Ramadan, following a previous meeting last month in Tripoli.

The killing of Fletcher prompted an 11-day siege of the Libyan embassy by members of the Metropolitan Police Service and the United Kingdom severing diplomatic relations with Libya.

Efforts to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels failed because two Libyan officials, Matouk Mohammed Matouk and Abdelgadir Mohammed Baghdadi, who ordered the shooting from inside the Libyan embassy, held senior positions in the Qaddafi regime.

Baghdadi has been killed in the Syrian revolution and Matouk has disappeared, opening up new venues of investigation in the case and creating an opportunity to bring Fletcher’s killer to justice.

John Murray, a former colleague of Fletcher who was with her when she was shot dead, told The Sunday Telegraph that the first arrest in the murder case was imminent.

“I was rung up by a senior Scotland Yard officer with knowledge of the case and told that an arrest is imminent, but it depends on the Libyans,” Mr Murray said.

A Number of Christians Convert to Islam In Ramadan

Whenever the Holy Month of Ramadan comes, Muslims all over the world observe the fasting and many other miracles that occur in parallel. Those who were skeptical about the rightfulness of Islam feel compelled to change their views and start learning more about it from reliable books to authenticate their own attitudes and reasoning.
The days in the American Muslim Center in Boston will be so memorable during this blessed month for the Muslim minority living there. An American Christian recently announced his Islam inside the American Muslim Center; he was instructed the Islamic testimony by the Moroccan Muslim scholar Abdullah Nahari in front of a huge number of Muslim believers.
This is not the first time in which non-Muslims declare their conversion to Islam in front of the Imam whose good reputation has expanded beyond Morocco.
The conversion happened after a series of conversions in Muslim mosques in Morocco, one of which was when a Portuguese girl – in her twenties – called Patricia publicly announced her conversoin before a large crowd of Muslims immediately after the Friday congregation prayers. The Friday sermon tackled “Victories of Ramadan” as a topic on August 3, 2012.
The conversion took place in Moutawakkil’s Mosque, Oued Mezrek-Dar Bouazza in Casablanca.
After being instructed the Islamic testimony (Shahadah), “I bear witness that there is no God but God (Allah), and I bear witness that Muhammed is His Messenger,” from the Friday lecturer, the Muslim believers read the opening of the Book (Surat al-Fatiha) which was crowned with God’s glorifications nearly filling the whole space in the mosque. Happiness and cheerfulness were clearly manifest in the faces of the believers, especially women.
All believers were repeating “Ameen”, while the Friday lecturer was praying for Halima, whose name was previously Patricia. The name of Halima is significant in the Muslim context: she is an Arabic Bedouin woman — a Wet-nurse — who raised up the Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him!) when he was a child and took special care of him for the first two years of his life. The Prophet was entrusted to her.
God said in His Holy Book the following: “Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error!” (Al-Zumar 39:22).

Wisconsin temple gunman identified as army veteran Wade Michael Page

Police and FBI comb gunman's house in Cudahy, as speculation grows over shooter's alleged links to white power groups

Experts spent Monday searching the gunman's home in Cudahy, just a few miles from the gurdwara in Oak Creek.

A gunman who killed six people at a Sikh place of worship in Wisconsin has been identified as a 40-year-old former soldier with alleged links to racist groups.
The white, heavy-set shooter – who some witnesses suggested carried tattoos marking the 9/11 terrorist attacks – was named as Wade Michael Page, an former serviceman once stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Officials have yet to confirm the killer's identity.
Meanwhile, the Southern Poverty Law Center – an organisation that monitors the activity of extremist groups – claimed on its website that the shooter was a "frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band".
Forensic experts spent Monday searching the gunman's home in Cudahy, just a few miles from Oak Creek, where the Sikh gurdwara is located.
More details about the gunman – and a possible motive – are expected to emerge at a police press conference scheduled for later on Monday.
Oak Creek police chief John Edwards has already confirmed that the suspect had a military background. It is thought Page was dismissed from the US army in 1998 for "patterns of misconduct", including being drunk on duty.
Edwards told CNN that the gunman "lived in a community neighbouring ours", and said authorities were "doing a 24-hour back-check, just to get any idea what he was up to, what he was doing".
"Right now there is no indication that there were any red flags," he said.
Sunday's attack is being investigated as an act of "domestic terrorism", police have said.
The suspect began shooting shortly before 10.30am local time as dozens gathered at the gurdwara. After killing people inside the building, the gunman fought with officers outside, critically injuring one. But a second officer was able to "put down" the suspect, police said. The killer was pronounced dead at the scene.
The wounded officer – who was shot multiple times – was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. It is believed that he will survive.
Emergency response teams found the bodies of four victims inside the gurdwara. Three more bodies lay outside the building, including that of the suspect. Three others – including the policeman – were injured and taken to a nearby hospital. All were said to be in a "critical condition".
At a press conference on Sunday, Oak Creek police chief John Edwards said the "heroic actions" of the two officers "stopped this from being worse than it could have been".
Authorities said the gunman had used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. The weapon, recovered at the scene, is thought to have been obtained legally, but police are still trying to track its origin.
Among those shot in the attack were prominent members of the local Sikh community. Jatin Der Mangat, 38, of Racine, said his uncle Satwant Singh Kaleka was one of those wounded, but he didn't know how serious his injuries were.
"It was like the heart just sat down," he said. "This shouldn't happen anywhere."
Sukhwindar Nagr, also of Racine, said he called his brother-in-law's phone. A granthi at the temple answered and told him that his brother-in-law had been shot, along with three granthi.
It is thought that around 50 people were in the gurdwara at the time of the attack.
The identification of the gunman has increased concerns that the attacker had a racist motive. The SPLC reported that Page was a known member of the white power music scene, and some witnesses said the suspect had a tattoo marking September 11. Some Sikhs had been targeted after 9/11, apparently mistaken for Muslims by people carrying out revenge attacks.
Authorities confirmed the dead suspect had tattoos, but said they were not sure exactly what they illustrated.
Police said it was too early to suggest a motive. But some Sikh members of the community told media that they feared that it was a hate crime. Others, however, have cautioned against jumping to conclusions.
Sapreet Kaur, executive director of the Sikh Coalition, the largest Sikh American civil rights organisation in the US, said: "There have been multiple hate crime shootings within the Sikh community in recent years and the natural impulse of our community is to unfortunately assume the same in this case."
"Let's let law enforcement investigate the case and as new facts emerge the dialogue can change."
The shooting came just 16 days after 12 people were killed and nearly 60 injured in a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
Wisconsin, like Colorado, has some of the most permissive gun laws in the country. Last year it passed a law allowing citizens to carry a concealed weapon.
The second mass shooting in two weeks will likely intensify pressure on US lawmakers to address the issue gun controls. President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have been largely silent on guns.
However, in a statement delivered after Sunday's shooting, Obama said he was "deeply saddened" by the incident.
Words of condolences also came from leaders overseas, with Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh, a Sikh, expressing his shock and sadness.
Singh said: "That this senseless act of violence should be targeted at a place of religious worship is particularly painful."
