Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad soldiers, in a combined operation with Iraqi Army soldiers, killed several criminals in eastern Baghdad after their convoy was attacked by multiple road side bombs, and small-arms fire from adjacent high rise buildings April 11.

France calls for “international force” against maritime piracy

France calls for “international force” against maritime piracy
TOKYO - France calls for the creation of an “international force” under a UN mandate to combat acts of piracy at sea, such as the diversion of Ponant by Somalis, said Saturday french Prime Minister Francois Fillon you! a visit to Japan.
“We are going to ask that under UN mandate an international force, to which France is naturally ready to participate, to work towards the safety and security of maritime transport in the region, as in the Malacca Strait,” said M . Fillon in a speech before the French Japan, on the french warship “Mistral”, with a stopover in Tokyo.
Jean-David Levitte, the diplomatic adviser of Nicolas Sarkozy told the press Friday that the french president proposed an “international effort” to combat piracy at sea, without specifying that it was the introduction of a strength.
Mr. Fillon also indicated that the commando operation against french Somali pirates once came ashore after payment of the sum of money claimed, “has helped recover half of the ransom.
Sources close the dossier had reported Friday the recovery of a portion of the ransom paid by the owner of the three towers.
The crew of the sailboat Ponant, who was on board a warship french, is expected soon to Djibouti, from where it returns to France by plane.
Reading some of those translations before morning CSP (Coffee Satiation Point) makes my teeth hurt.
Still, I don’t read much but English, plus a *little* German and Spanish, so I’ll just have to drink more coffee sooner.
placemark
The simple translation (and I haven’t had my coffee yet either — I was out working in the garden); is that in my opinion, piracy is not only a crime; it seems to be (at least in some cases) possibly terrorism financing.
...and as to your post ditto (except add some Italian to the German and Spanish).
I agree with you Vel, it does seem like there is more to the message considering the time line of “indefinitely”. Please keep us posted on this.
Staph superbug in pork?!? Thanks for the post MamaD.
Good for Rep. Hunter. Wish he had been a viable presidential candidate. Thanks for that post Cindy.

“Several dead in Iran mosque blast”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Eight people have been killed and 66 others wounded in an explosion in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, a national news agency has reported.
The explosion on Saturday was caused by “a powerful bomb at Shiraz’s Mosque of the Martyrs after evening prayers”, a report by Fars news agency said, citing city officials.
The death toll is expected to rise due to the severity of some people’s injuries, officials said.
Mohamed Hasan al-Bahrani, Al Jazeera’s Tehran bureau chief, said that available information pointed to a bomb going off in the mosque after Maghreb and Isha prayers.
The explosion took place in the section where males were praying, according to reports.
Fars said the force of the blast shook houses more than a kilometre away.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the explosion.”
Yep, he does a good job.
I’m praying something positive comes out of this Republican convention.
