Bhutto was assassinated...

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated as a suicide bomber killed at least 14 of her supporters, a spokesman for her party and other officials said. Bhutto suffered bullet wounds

Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has been Musharraf's unlikely ally in this process, sometime combative, sometime conciliatory. Oxford-educated and the first woman to lead a post-colonial Muslim state, Bhutto is the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was Pakistan's Prime Minister between 1973 and 1977.

Zulfikar was forced out of power by General Mohamed Zia-ul-Haq, who later had him executed for killing a political opponent, a charge Benazir and her supporters continue to deny three decades on.

This year, as Musharraf's popularity plummeted, a U.S.-approved deal between the President and his former rival cleared the way for Bhutto to return home from exile in Britain and Dubai on the understanding that Musharraf would step down from his army job and then serve another five-year term as President while Bhutto would lead her Pakistan People's Party, the country's biggest, to parliamentary success in early 2008 and serve as Prime Minister.

Chief Justice Chaudhry's court was also set to rule on the merits of this deal, which included the Musharraf government's dismissal of corruption charges leveled against Bhutto and her husband.

Bhutto's support had suffered after her decision to cut a deal with the unpopular President. She has called for street protests but has not ruled out going ahead with the original plan as long as Musharraf steps down as army chief and elections go ahead on schedule.

THE ISSUES

The War on Terror is key to American policy on Pakistan, which has gladly accepted $10 billion in aid from Washington since the 2001 attacks. In the years after 9/11, after the overthrow of the regime in Kabul, al-Qaeda and the Taliban have regrouped in the mountainous region along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.

The area, often described as lawless, has long been controlled by fiercely conservative tribes that run their own semi-autonomous administration. Over the past few years foreign and local militants have grown stronger.

Last year, after failing to quash the insurgency militarily, the Pakistani army signed a brief cease-fire deal with some of the militant groups. The fighting has since resumed. U.S. intelligence agencies believe al-Qaeda has now rebuilt to the point where it could launch fresh attacks against America.
The Talibanization of Pakistan has raised fears that a future regime in the country may put Islambad's nuclear capacity — estimated at about 80 nuclear devices — into the hands of parties inimical to the West. Indeed, the militants have spread their influence into more moderate areas of Pakistan such as the once-touristy Swat Valley.

The militant groups have also launched attacks against Pakistan's cities, including the capital. In July 2007 a mosque in Islamabad became the site of a bloody confrontation between government security forces and radical Islamists and triggered a fresh wave of bombings, kidnappings and other attacks. Within hours of Bhutto's arrival home from exile last month, more than 150 people in her convoy were killed in a bomb blast targeting her.
Who Will Rule Pakistan? The question is paramount and critical at this moment. If the Musharraf-Bhutto deal has fallen through, then Pakistanis are left with an extremely unpopular dictator who nevertheless is the only moderating force on a military-and-security apparatus that many fear harbors extremist elements.

Bhutto, whose return to Pakistan was a nod toward democratic ideals, already believes that members of Pakistan's government and intelligence agencies knew about the attack on her homecoming convoy and helped plan it.

Musharraf's closest foreign allies have long feared that those same military and intelligence bodies still include officials sympathetic to the militants Islamabad is supposed to be fighting.

In the meantime, as Musharraf and Bhutto maneuver for advantage, the extremists in the mountains continue to expand their influence, day by day becoming a more realistic, if fearsome, option to ineffective Pakistani politics-as-usual.

Daghan gihapon ang mga drug user sa Naval: survey

BISAN pa man nga nausab na ang status sa lungsod sa Naval Biliran isip usa na ka bag-ong lungsod, gatusan gihapon ka mga batan-on ang mga drug user sa maong lugar bisan wala na si bro Imet.

Giangkon ni brother Joed Genson nga lisod sumpoon ang druga sa Naval Biliran ug daghan ang nasayod sa maong suliran ug wala silay nakitang solusyon sa maong problema.

Kon wala na mamaligya si Oka Kadoy apan anaa pa si Iboy nga anak ni Totong sa Tubod Laka.
Gani usa sa mga midagan ug mayor sa maong lungsod atoa na man sa rehabilitation center sa Manila ug ang asawa niini nga si Pina katabang na ni Marwin Bontes sa China, matod pa sa atong tig-balita.

Matod pa ni brother Imet nga duha na ka asawa ni Marwin Bontes ang mibiya kaniya ug busa mikuha kinig katabang aron maoy moatiman kaniya.

Ug sa laing bahin nakit-an gyod sa atong spy satellites ang anak ni Tasyo Sanosa nga mibilikis kini ug Bangla paingon sa pribadong lawak ampoanan (hotel ba!). he he he

Usa usab ka field reporter sa Lucky Plaza nakakita nga mibilikis kini ug laing Bangla. Susmariosep! ...Ug matod pa ni sister Ninya nga nakit-an usab kini niya sa maong lugar.

Atong nakahinabi ang apo ni Martial Victorioso nga si Vikay ug matod pa niya, uyab kuno. Mao usa ang baleta ni Jocelyn Montesclaros nga asawa sa apo ni Tibor Sanosa.

Ug matod pa sa atong Naval field reporter nga bulag sa bana si Jacky ug may katungod kini nga mahigugma ug lain.

Sa laing bahin wala na mag-kuyog kuyog ug panguwag si Ronnie Mejia kang igsoon Imet kay nag-duda kini nga adunay mga mata nga nag-pahipi kanila.

Si igsoong Imet gigabas gabas na lang usab ang work site ug balay kay wala nay mag-pautang niini. Si Vikay Victorioso giutangan usab apan abtik kini nga mibalibad.

Si sister Gejie mipakatap ug estorya nga dili gayod siya mag-pautang ug kuarta kang brother Imet apan motabang siya niini hangtod sa kahangtoran. Amen!
SUNDAN PAG MGA NGILNGIG NGA BALETA!

Treath for Legal Action

A groups of drug oligarch, and political malnourish, likewise the stupid 'manyakis' and the 'balbahutog’s' has threatened to take legal action against the webmaster of the Bangkal News web and links allegedly for accusing and defaming the Navalean in particular and to the Biliranon in general.

They know the webmaster! …and the articles he posted are a product of irresponsible writer. Rolly Borrinaga said. “If a woman visited to a dental clinic, it is meant an adulterous relationship?” He added, “If somebody visited Iboy Bornillos residence in Laca, is it a drug business?”

Or someone talk a nonsense report then he borrowed money from you. After months of hiding he wants to pay back the money from you because many were concerned the effect of that “utang” (small utang damay tanan).

In connection he was scared that you’re planning to sue him in court, is it a brotherhood? …then why you degrade and malign your friend?

The Lord said, “Beware of your friends, do not trust your brothers. For every brother are a deceiver and every friend a slanderer. A friend deceives friends, and no one speak the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie, they weary themselves with sinning” Jeremiah 9:4-5.

The website is set up by the concerned Navalean and its wing the Black Libtong Commandos (presently “The Magdalo”) to monitor the Biliran Province political malnourish ug mga ‘uwagan nga’ politiko lakip na ang mga scandal sa probinsiya.

Many of the accused was upset by some unfair reports and criticism of the Bangkal News web and they are now suing the website to fight legal battles in court through the United Nation.

The report added that they will take Atty Villordon who lost two times in election is a person in charge to bring the court case against the Bangkal News web while Atty. Danilo Velasquez will be the defense lawyer.

The complainant’s however, advice the webmaster to focus on good reporting instead of posting any content that might backfire on the Bangkal News web. And stop posting scandalous content that might defame the elect.

Although Navalean either Biliranon was advice through Bayan Nila radio broadcast not to visit the sites however many Taclobanon and Ormokanon are curious on its content.

2 babaye miriklamo ...(joke reports?)

DUHA ka babaye ang mireklamo sa Tacloban Police Station human nga giingong gikulata sa iyang uyab. Ug ang usa wala na padad-ig kuarta sa iyang laing uyab.

Unang mireklamo mao ang usa ka Pureza (apelyido gitago aron panalipdan ang dungog), nagpuyo sa Tacloban, ug gisumbong mao ang uyab nga si Tolets (bansagon di na ipatik), usa ka tig-ibot ug ngepon.

Matud ni Pureza nga alas 12:00 sa tungang gabii, adlaw nga Biyernes, gikulata siya sa maong uyab kay nasakspan siyang may kauban nga laing lalakwe ug nag night swimming sila sa maong lugar nga gikataho. Tungod niini, miresulta ang pagkabun-og sa nindot ug lami nga mga bahin sa iyang lawas.

Si Pureza mikiha apan nahilom ang kaso sa dihang mipatunga ang abogada nga asawa ra usab ni Tolets.

Samtang taud-taod lamang gikan sa pagreklamo ni Pureza, laing babaye na usab ang midangop sa kapulisan aron isumbong ang iya gihapong uyab nga wala na mag-padala kaniya ug kuarta kay gipugngan sa tinood nga asawa.

Mireklamo ni Mayang (apelyido gipanalipdan), kang Ronnie, nga iyang uyab nga wala na mag-padala ug kuarta kay nalumon ang hinampak sa mga burikat.

Nagsugod matud pa ang pag-kahunong sa pag-padala dihang nasakpan si Ronnie sa iyang asawa nga nag-luib kaniya. Ug nag-muryomuryog pangandam ang asawa ni Ronnie ug nag han-ay ug economic blockage batok ni Mayang.

Nanghimakak si Ronnie apan gibuking siya ni Tolets kabahin sa iyang kabit kay gipaninglan si Tolets ug Pureza sa utang.

Tungod sa mga utang misamot ang chismiss sa dihang wala makabayad ang usa ka ginganlag “Imet” (gitago ang nawong kay ngel-ad. …aw! ..Ang apelyedo diay!), ug nag-lagot ang mga tig-baleta sa mga manyakis. Lakipon na siguro ang mga politikong uwagan ug tambaloslos.

Nisamot pa ang kaitok sa mga tig-baleta kay nasakapan ang pag-kabakakon sa mga manyakis ug walay mga batasan.

Ang duha ka mga babaye nga mireklamo, gi-alalayan sa Women and Children's Desk sa Tacloban PNP ug gitambahan nga mokuha og parental advice alang sa posibleng pag bag-og uyab. (JLee)
