They Shoot Horses in Pakistan!

Many people fall dead after a powerful blast that destroyed the Marriott Hotel in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. At least forty people are killed in the bomb attack, which police suspected as suicide car bombing and warned the hotel could collapse. The fire is still flaming in some parts of the hotel. News said the explosion is caused by more than a tonne of explosives.

The bomb attack has happened in spite of the tight security in the surroundings area, where the hotel is located near the government buildings and diplomatic missions.

The new Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari said he would not allow Pakistan's territory to be violated by terrorists or foreign powers fighting them. He vowed in his first speech to MPs since he replaced Pervez Musharraf in August, to "root out terrorism and extremism wherever and whenever they may rear their ugly heads".

They Shoot Horses in Rwanda!

Paris denounces Rwandan genocide claims and accuses Rwanda of "unacceptable accusations" after a report says France was actively involved in the 1994 genocide. An independent Rwandan commission has accused France, saying that Paris had been aware of the preparations for the genocide and the French troops had direct involvement in the killings when they trained the ethnic Hutu militia.

Paris has consistently rejected the claims and denied any responsibility for the genocide that left about 800.000 people dead.

A French foreign ministry spokesman said, "This report contains unacceptable accusations made against French political and military officials." Meanwhile, Rwandan Information Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said she hoped the French officials named would be indicted for war crimes. "The government has asked the courts to use this report. We hope that legal proceedings will follow," she is quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
