British soldier killed in S Afghanistan

A British soldier has lost his life in the volatile Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, bringing the total UK death toll in the war-torn country to 351 since the beginning of the war.


The British Ministry of Defense announced Friday that the soldier from 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment, died in an operational accident in the Nad-e Ali district of the Helmand province, a Press TV correspondent reported.

"He died as a result of an operational accident, which is currently under investigation," Task Force Helmand spokesman Lieutenant Colonel David Eastman stated.

The latest casualty puts the overall number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan so far this year to three.

The death also brings the total number of death toll among US troops in Afghanistan since the onset of the war in 2001 to 351, 309 of whom were killed as a result of military engagement and the rising violence against foreign troops in the war-ravaged country.

2010 was the bloodiest year of the nine-year conflict in Afghanistan, with casualties steadily soaring among both civilians and foreign troops, mainly due to a rise in Taliban attacks.

As many as 711 foreign troops lost their lives in Afghanistan -- an average of two a day -- which is by far greater than the annual toll of 521 during 2009.

Despite the presence of some 150,000 NATO forces in the Asian country, the violence and daily militant attacks have not been subdued in Afghanistan.

Britain has about 9,500 troops in Afghanistan, making it the second-largest contributor after the United States to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.

ISAF has some 140,000 troops in Afghanistan, two-thirds of which are from the United States, fighting a nine-year war with the Taliban.

Egypt minister regrets 'harsh treatment'

Dozens of journalists from around the world have been detained or assaulted while covering the revolution protests in Egypt as massive anti-government protests continues in the North African country.
Egypt's Finance Minister Samir Radwan has apologized for the "harsh treatment" of government forces toward journalists and Egyptian protesters during massive anti-government demonstrations in the country.


"I would apologize to any journalist or any foreigner or any Egyptian for that matter that has been subjected to this harsh treatment," Radwan said in an interview with CNN on Friday.

"I inquired and I was told that there is zero tolerance, zero tolerance of this government on attacks against foreigners, let alone journalists whom we need to have them on our side, to watch this situation unfold and convey a much better image to the outside world," the Egyptian minister added.

He made the remarks a day after the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists stated that it had recorded 24 detentions of journalists, 21 assaults and five cases of confiscation of equipment for over a 24-hour period amid ongoing revolutionary protests in the North African country.

The committee said an Egyptian journalist, who was working for the al-Ta'awun newspaper, died on Friday of a gunshot wound he suffered while covering the unrest in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, a week ago.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has denounced the attacks on journalists and human rights activists as "outrageous and totally unacceptable," calling for an immediate cessation of violence against journalists as well as protesters, who have relentlessly urged the ouster of embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

A Press TV correspondent in Cairo was also forced to flee a scene of chaos and violence as he feared being arrested by government forces on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Reporters Without Borders Secretary General Jean-Francois Julliard hit out at pro-Mubarak mob and government vigilantes over "shocking" attacks in Cairo against foreign reporters.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that at least eight people were killed and more than 800 injured during clashes on Wednesday and Thursday in several Egyptian cities, including Cairo and Alexandria.

According to the United Nations, at least 300 people have so far been killed and thousands more injured during nationwide revolution protests in Egypt.

Two US-led soldiers killed in Afghan war

At least two US-led soldiers have been killed in the latest spate of attacks against foreign troops in southern Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) says.


According to a statement released by the NATO-led alliance on Saturday, the soldiers lost their lives in separate bombings in volatile southern Afghanistan, bringing the death toll among foreign troops in the war-ravaged country since the beginning of this year to 36.

Five US-led soldiers with the international coalition have been killed so far in February.

The identities of the soldiers and the exact locations of Saturday's blasts were not immediately disclosed.

Last year saw a considerable spike in the number of attacks on US-led soldiers in Afghanistan with more than 710 troops killed.

US President Barack Obama has said US forces would begin pulling out of Afghanistan in July 2011.

On Jan 6, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates ordered an extra 1,400 Marines to southern Afghanistan in an attempt to fend off an anticipated spring offensive by Taliban militants returning from neighboring Pakistan.

The surge comes despite an earlier promise by Obama to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan by July 2011.

The upsurge in the number of casualties among US-led foreign forces in tandem with the heavy civilian casualties have provoked a barrage criticism from countries which have contributed troops to the prolonged Afghan mission.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have held rallies to support the revolutionary drive of Egyptians and call for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.


In the Tunisian capital Tunis, protesters rallied near the Egyptian Embassy. They told President Mubarak to leave just like ousted Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

In the Turkish city of Istanbul, protesters called for an immediate regime change in Egypt.

In Lebanese capital, Beirut, people gathered outside the Egyptian Embassy, calling for political reform in Egypt.

Thousands of Malaysian protesters, who took to the streets to show support for the Egyptian revolution, clashed with police while staging a march to the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, a Press TV correspondent reported.

They demanded that US President Barack Obama force his Egyptian counterpart to step down.

In the Iranian capital, Tehran, demonstrators took to the streets following the Friday Prayers, chanting slogans against Israel, the US, and Mubarak.

They torched pictures of Mubarak and Obama, setting fire to the American and Israeli flags.

Similar rallies have been staged in other countries such as the Czech Republic, Belgium, Jordan, and Thailand in a show of solidarity with protesters in Egypt.

Roadside blast kills one in Pakistan

A roadside bomb has gone off in the upper Kurram Agency in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least one person despite government's efforts to flush out militants in the area.
 

source ;http://www.presstv.ir/detail/163667.html
 

The incident occurred in the upper Kurram Agency on Saturday, while in the southwestern province of Baluchistan militants blew up two electricity towers and a gas pipeline, local officials told a Press TV correspondent.

According to the officials, one of the blasts took place near the city of Quetta, suspending electricity to parts of the province. The second incident occured in Dera Bugti district.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet.

Violence undermines security in the militancy-hit country despite Pakistani government's claims that the country's military has achieved major gains against Taliban militants in a series of offensives in the tribal areas.

Nearly 4,000 people have so far been killed in militant attacks throughout Pakistan since July 2007, reports say.
