Syrian Protests Are Said

[ présent passif à valeur conditionnelle ]

 

to Be Largest and Bloodiest to Date

 

April 8, 2011

The New York Times

By LIAM STACK

and KATHERINE ZOEPF

 

CAIRO — Dozens of communities across Syria erupted in protest on Friday in what activists said were by far the largest and bloodiest demonstrations against the iron rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

While the number of protesters, said by some opposition activists to be in the hundreds of thousands, could not be independently confirmed, the size of the protests and their level of coordination suggest that Syria’s fragmented opposition movement is reaching new levels of coherence and organization.

The deadliest clashes were in the southern city of Dara’a, where security forces opened fire on demonstrators, witnesses said. A Syrian human rights activist said 21 deaths had been confirmed, but that figure was likely to rise.

The government, meanwhile, said its security forces had been fired on by armed groups in Dara’a. The Interior Ministry said 19 police officers and members of security forces were killed, in addition to several civilians, the government news agency, Sana, reported. It was the first time the government had made a substantial claim of deaths.

PARIS —

The wave of turmoil and protests

sweeping the Middle East appeared on Wednesday

to have reached Libya,

ruled for four decades by Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi,

according to news reports.

 

The eruption of violence in Libya’s second city Benghazi

was not reported in the state-run media

which said rallies would be held Wednesday

in support of Colonel Qaddafi

— a tactic reflecting those used in Egypt and Yemen

where pro-government demonstrators have clashed

with their adversaries since the tumult began.

 

Quryna, a privately owned newspaper in Benghazi,

said a crowd armed with gasoline bombs and rocks

protested outside a government office

to demand the release of a human rights activist,

Reuters reported.

The demonstrators, numbering at least several hundred

and possibly more, went to the central Shajara Square

and clashed with police.

Police released few details

about the two men charged in the killings,

and didn't say if detectives had found

any personal connections

between the suspects and the victims

or any possible motive beyond robbery.

The two men were arrested

in a house in West Philadelphia

by Philadelphia police and a SWAT team,

said Capt. Benjamin Naish, a police spokesman.

"I understand there was some struggle,

but there was no major incident," Naish said.

Ricky Gavon Gray, believed to be from Arlington,

and Ray Joseph Dandridge, both 28,

were both charged Saturday in Virginia with conspiracy

to commit murder and auto theft,

Richmond Police Chief Rodney Monroe

said at a news conference Saturday night,

publicly connecting the two crime scenes

for the first time.

"We believe we have put an end

to what we consider seven very serious cases

in this area," the chief said.

By MARK McDONALD

 

SEOUL, South Korea —

In what appeared to be a definitive declaration

of his status as the designated heir apparent

in North Korea,

Kim Jong-un has been appointed to a senior position

on the National Defense Commission, the country’s most

powerful body, according to a report Wednesday

by a leading newspaper in Seoul.

The Chosun Ilbo,

citing an unnamed source in North Korea,

said Mr. Kim, the youngest son

of the dictator Kim Jong-il,

was recently named to the post of vice chairman

of the defense commission.

The appointment would effectively make Kim Jong-un

the second most-powerful official in North Korea

after his father.

The announcement of the move came

at a mass gathering of military leaders

and security officials on Feb. 10,

according to the newspaper’s source.

The appointment still needs to be approved

by the Supreme People’s Assembly,

the rubber-stamp parliament that is due to meet in April.

TALLMANSVILLE, West Virginia (Reuters) - Twelve missing miners were found alive in a West Virginia coal mine nearly two days after they fled an explosion that sent lethal gases through the mine and killed one of their colleagues, family members said.

Rescue workers located the 12 men, who had been trapped underground since 6:30 a.m. (1130 GMT) on Monday and were bringing them out of the Sago mine in central West Virginia, family members said.

Anna McCloy, whose husband Randall McCloy was rescued said "This is wonderful, wonderful news, they are coming out."

TALLMANSVILLE, West Virginia (Reuters) - Joy gave way to grief and anger on Wednesday when a West Virginia coal town learned that 12 of 13 miners trapped in a mine explosion had died, three hours after friends and family were mistakenly told that all but one had survived.

One man survived after being trapped since Monday's blast at the Sago mine in central West Virginia and was hospitalized in critical condition. Randal McCloy, 27, was being treated for a kidney dysfunction but was described by doctors as conscious and relatively stable.

The way the tragic news of the deaths of the dozen miners was conveyed angered many family members who had stood vigil at a nearby church.

DUBAI (Reuters) -

The Islamic Army in Iraq insurgent group said on Thursday

it had killed an abducted U.S. security consultant,

according to an Internet statement.

The group said the man was killed

because the U.S. government did not fulfil its demands,

which included freeing all Iraqi prisoners

and compensation to Iraqis affected by U.S. attacks.

"War criminal (U.S. President George W.)

Bush continues with his arrogance

and no one has any value

unless they serve his criminal interests,

therefore the American security adviser pig

at the Housing Ministry has been killed,"

the statement said.

The statement's authenticity could not be verified

and no pictures or video accompanied the statement.

It was posted on a Web site often used by insurgents

and the group said it would soon provide

photographs of the killing.

"A lion from our martyrs' brigade embedded himself

TOKYO (Reuters) -

Nintendo Co. will launch its new video game console

sometime next year, missing the key 2005 holiday

shopping season and putting it a step

behind Microsoft Corp

in the battle for the next-generation game machine,

the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported on Saturday.

The report comes two days after Microsoft announced

its new console, called Xbox 360,will be in stores in time

for the 2005 year-end shopping season,

giving it a head-start on the competition if Sony Corp.

and Nintendo don't introduce their new consoles

until next year.

The Nihon Keizai said it obtained the information

from Nintendo on Friday, without citing sources.

Nintendo has not officially set a date

for its next generation console,

code-named "Revolution,"

although a 2006 launch has been widely expected.

Nintendo officials were not immediately

available for comment.
