Abu Bakar Bashir to be released

Astoundingly after only serving 3 years in prison Abu Bakar Bashir could be released early next year.

Abu Bakar Bashir is the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah ( the group blamed for a series of deadly attacks in Indonesia )
With close links to al-Qaida and convicted in March of conspiring in the 12 October 2002 bombings of two crowded nightclubs in Bali which killed 202 people, Bashir still denies having any terrorist links.

As part of the Indonesia's Independence Day celebrations, he and thousands of other inmates are to have their sentences reduced.

Thats Indonesia off my christmas card list.

Daniel Pearl

Pakistani police have charged Mohammad Hashim Qadir in connection with the 2002 murder of Daniel Pearl.
For those that can't remember Daniel Pearl, he was an american reporter kidnapped in Karachi in January 2002 while researching a story on Islamist militants. He was later beheaded by a group calling themselves "The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty" the footage later released onto the internet.

The first of many beheading video's that I have had the misfortune of watching

Islamic extremists kill 10 year old boy

Hundreds of small bombs in Bangladesh have killed 2 and injured around 40.

One of those killed was a 10 yr old boy who died when he picked up one of the bombs.

Literature from the Islamic group Jumatul Mujahedin, who want an Islamic state in Bangladesh, were found at the scenes of a number of explosions.

So far 7 people have been arrested in connection with the bombings.

The Jumatul Mujahedin and the Jagrata Muslim Janata , responsible for a number of attacks had recently been outlawed by the Bangladeshi government.

Car bombs

Three carbombs in 'Baghdead' have left over 40 dead and hundreds injured.

Two of the bombs exploded 10 minutes apart at a bus station in al-Nahda (I assume to kill those trying to help the wounded), the other, 15 mins later near a hospital in al-Kindi where some of the injured from the first blast were being treated.

Rope danglers

Three insurgents convicted for the killing of Iraqi police officers in May and later sentenced to death are now facing being hung within the coming weeks in the city of Kut.

Iraq's chief general prosecutor told the New York Times public opinion was "eagerly waiting" for the men to be put to death.

Saddam Hussein, who was captured and is due to be tried for war crimes by an Iraqi tribunal, could face execution if found guilty.

Of course Amnesty International are kicking up a fuss, they would probably rehabilitate and reintroduce them into society.
I suggest watching the executions of the police officers and then decide if these vermin have the right to exist.
It's one thing to kill in the heat of battle and another to take them hostage, drive off to somewhere remote and videotape yourself cutting their heads off while chanting "Allahu akbar".
