A 15-year-old boy who died tackling a suicide bomber in the north-western Pakistani region of Hangu on Monday (January 6) is being hailed as a hero.

According to CNN, ninth-grader Aitazaz Hassan Bangash was on his way to the Ibrahimzai School with his cousin when the suicide bomber, dressed in school uniform, stopped them for information, to ask where the school was.

Aitazaz and his cousin Musadiq Ali Bangash, showed him the way but then became suspicious, Musadiq told CNN. 

While Musadiq backed off, Aitazaz decided to face the bomber. He first threw a large stone at him as he was about to enter the school. He then started a scuffle by grabbing him, which caused the bomber to panic and detonate his vest. Both died at the scene. 

Two more people were injured in the blast, witnesses said. 

According to reports, Pakistanis are comparing him to Malala, the school girl shot by the Taliban in October 2012 for promoting education for all boys and girls.

Local residents in Hangu are now calling for Aitazaz to receive a posthumous award for his bravery, which they say saved the lives of many students.

On Twitter, they are asking everyone to use hastags #onemillionaitzazs or simply #aitzaz and calling for his heroism to be recognized with an award.

Aitazaz is survived by his father, Mujaad Ali Bangash, his elder brother, Mustajab Hassan Bangash, and three sisters, reports say.

Hangu is close to Pakistan\'s semi-autonomous tribal regions, one of Pakistan\'s seven lawless districts on the Afghan border with a strong Taliban and al-Qaeda presence. 

The area is also known for sectarian violence against Shia Muslims, BBC reported.

Russian security forces are hunting for a suspected terrorist who may have already breached the \'ring of steel\' around Sochi. With less than three weeks to go before the opening of the Winter Olympics, the country\'s internal security service, the FSB, is looking for this woman. Ruzanna Ibragimova, aged 22, is the widow of a militant from the Republic of Dagestan in southern Russia. A poster and description has been distributed to hotels near Olympic sites. Russian President Vladimir Putin has laid his reputation on the safety of athletes and fans at the games, the most expensive in history.

Statement of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, on opening a new Preliminary Examination in Central African Republic - 7 February 2014

Over the past months, I have issued a number of public statements urging all groups in the Central African Republic (CAR) engaged in the on-going conflict to immediately cease the violence, and warning them that those alleged to be committing heinous crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) could be held individually accountable. 

The plight of civilians in CAR since September 2012 has gone from bad to worse.  My Office has reviewed many reports detailing acts of extreme brutality by various groups and allegations of serious crimes being committed, which possibly fall within the ambit of the jurisdiction of the ICC. The information concerning these alleged crimes and the profound human suffering they cause is deeply concerning. 

The allegations include hundreds of killings, acts of rape and sexual slavery, destruction of property, pillaging, torture, forced displacement and recruitment and use of children in hostilities.  In many incidents, victims appear to have been deliberately targeted on religious grounds.  

Following my Office\'s analysis of the jurisdictional parameters regarding the situation in CAR since September 2012, I have concluded that these incidents and the serious allegations of crimes potentially falling within the jurisdiction of the ICC constitute a new situation, unrelated to the situation previously referred to the ICC by the CAR authorities in December 2004. I have therefore decided to open a Preliminary Examination into this new situation.

Henceforth, my Office\'s further efforts will be aimed at gathering and analysing all the information necessary to determine whether there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into this new situation. My Office\'s efforts will be coordinated with those of the African Union and the United Nations in CAR. In conformity with the complementarity principle, my Office will also be engaging with the CAR authorities with a view to discussing ways and means to bring perpetrators to account, including at the national level.

CAR is a State Party to the Rome Statute, and as such, the ICC has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed on the territory or by nationals of CAR since July 1, 2002.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned lawmakers emergency measures to stay under the U.S. debt limit probably won\'t last past Feb. 27, leaving little time to craft a deal that can clear Congress. The federal government is set to run up against its legal borrowing limit Friday, when a suspension of the debt ceiling expires, preventing it from adding to its more than $17 trillion in public debt.

Egyptian Army and Police attacked by Protesters in Alexandria this afternoon, Friday, January 24, 2014.  The whole ordeal took about an hour.  The protesters fired tear gas and Molotov Cocktails at the Army and Police, but they were too strong for the protesters. You will hear me coughing from the tear gas mid video.  Hopefully I will not have to see this again.

Thank you to the Police and Army for protecting us and ending this situation quickly!

Several thousand people clashed with police on the second day of protest in front of the cantonal government building in the northern Bosnian industrial town of Tuzla on Thursday. Protesters hurled stones, eggs and smoke bombs at the government building after police officers guarding the building withdrew. Later, police responded with pepper spray and teargas.

The protest started on Wednesday when around 1,000 people took the streets to complain about continuing high levels of unemployment and factory closures in the town. More than 70 people have been hospitalised so far, including some 50 policemen. Dozens of protesters have also been arrested.

This is how Brazil deals with Tube protests: Rioters take over stations and clash with police over ten cent fare rise

Rioters seized control of Rio\'s main railway station as protests against a rise in travel costs erupted in violence across Brazil\'s capital.
Police fired tear gas and stun grenades on demonstrators who had taken to the streets after the city\'s mayor announced a 10-cent hike in bus fare. 
During the violence a cameraman for Band TV was hit in the head by either a stun grenade launched by police or a homemade explosive tossed by protesters; it was not immediately clear which. 

A photographer captured the horrifying moment the missile hit him.
Band said in a statement that cameraman Santiago Andrade was taken to a hospital by police and underwent surgery. He\'s in serious condition.

For several hours last night members of the passe livre, or free pass, movement occupied Central do Brasil, smashed ticket barriers and let commuters travel without paying.
This is the latest protest to hit Brazil since last June, when nationwide demonstrations broke out after a sharp police crackdown on a group in Sao Paulo that was marching against an increase in public transportation fares.

Originally published on January 10, 2014 Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspx A 15-year-old boy who died tackling a suicide bomber in the north-western Pakistani region of Hangu on Monday (January 6) is being hailed as a hero. According to CNN, ninth-grader Aitazaz Hassan Bangash was on his way to the Ibrahimzai School with his cousin when the suicide bomber, dressed in school uniform, stopped them for information, to ask where the school was. Aitazaz and his cousin Musadiq Ali Bangash, showed him the way but then became suspicious, Musadiq told CNN. While Musadiq backed off, Aitazaz decided to face the bomber. He first threw a large stone at him as he was about to enter the school. He then started a scuffle by grabbing him, which caused the bomber to panic and detonate his vest. Both died at the scene. Two more people were injured in the blast, witnesses said. According to reports, Pakistanis are comparing him to Malala, the school girl shot by the Taliban in October 2012 for promoting education for all boys and girls. Local residents in Hangu are now calling for Aitazaz to receive a posthumous award for his bravery, which they say saved the lives of many students. On Twitter, they are asking everyone to use hastags #onemillionaitzazs or simply #aitzaz and calling for his heroism to be recognized with an award. Aitazaz is survived by his father, Mujaad Ali Bangash, his elder brother, Mustajab Hassan Bangash, and three sisters, reports say. Hangu is close to Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal regions, one of Pakistan's seven lawless districts on the Afghan border with a strong Taliban and al-Qaeda presence. The area is also known for sectarian violence against Shia Muslims, BBC reported.

Situation in the Central African Republic: Statement of the Prosecutor of the ICC, 7 February 2014
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:57
  • Updated: 07 Feb 2014
Statement of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, on opening a new Preliminary Examination in Central African Republic - 7 February 2014 Over the past months, I have issued a number of public statements urging all groups in the Central African Republic (CAR) engaged in the on-going conflict to immediately cease the violence, and warning them that those alleged to be committing heinous crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) could be held individually accountable. The plight of civilians in CAR since September 2012 has gone from bad to worse. My Office has reviewed many reports detailing acts of extreme brutality by various groups and allegations of serious crimes being committed, which possibly fall within the ambit of the jurisdiction of the ICC. The information concerning these alleged crimes and the profound human suffering they cause is deeply concerning. The allegations include hundreds of killings, acts of rape and sexual slavery, destruction of property, pillaging, torture, forced displacement and recruitment and use of children in hostilities. In many incidents, victims appear to have been deliberately targeted on religious grounds. Following my Office's analysis of the jurisdictional parameters regarding the situation in CAR since September 2012, I have concluded that these incidents and the serious allegations of crimes potentially falling within the jurisdiction of the ICC constitute a new situation, unrelated to the situation previously referred to the ICC by the CAR authorities in December 2004. I have therefore decided to open a Preliminary Examination into this new situation. Henceforth, my Office's further efforts will be aimed at gathering and analysing all the information necessary to determine whether there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into this new situation. My Office's efforts will be coordinated with those of the African Union and the United Nations in CAR. In conformity with the complementarity principle, my Office will also be engaging with the CAR authorities with a view to discussing ways and means to bring perpetrators to account, including at the national level. CAR is a State Party to the Rome Statute, and as such, the ICC has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed on the territory or by nationals of CAR since July 1, 2002.

Egyptian Army and Police attacked by Protesters in Alexandria this afternoon, Friday, January 24, 2014. The whole ordeal took about an hour. The protesters fired tear gas and Molotov Cocktails at the Army and Police, but they were too strong for the protesters. You will hear me coughing from the tear gas mid video. Hopefully I will not have to see this again. Thank you to the Police and Army for protecting us and ending this situation quickly!

Several thousand people clashed with police on the second day of protest in front of the cantonal government building in the northern Bosnian industrial town of Tuzla on Thursday. Protesters hurled stones, eggs and smoke bombs at the government building after police officers guarding the building withdrew. Later, police responded with pepper spray and teargas. The protest started on Wednesday when around 1,000 people took the streets to complain about continuing high levels of unemployment and factory closures in the town. More than 70 people have been hospitalised so far, including some 50 policemen. Dozens of protesters have also been arrested. Video is courtesy of RTV Slon.

Tension is rising between the United States and Russia... over the intensifying political crisis in Ukraine. Washington is accusing Moscow of bugging a phone conversation about the Ukrainian crisis between two top U.S. officials. Connie Lee has more. Washington's real stance on the political unrest in Ukraine may have been revealed in a leaked phone call between two top U.S. officials. During the conversation... between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland... and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine,.... Geoffrey Pyatt... the two discuss how they could organize a new government in Ukraine... with some of the country's opposition leaders. The U.S. says Russia is behind the leak. "We think this is a new low in Russian tradecraft in terms of publicizing, posting." The conversation, posted on YouTube.... also includes Nuland using a swear word in reference to the EU... in apparent frustration over Brussels' efforts in dealing with the turmoil in Ukraine. The U.S. does not deny the authenticity of the conversation, and says Nuland has apologized for making the comment. "She has been in contact with her EU counterparts, and of course has apologized." This comes as Russia has warned the U.S. against interfering in Ukraine. Russian officials accuse the U.S. of helping the opposition, and fueling the anti-government protests there. A close aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, if the U.S. does not stop interfering in Ukraine's internal affairs... then Moscow will have to step in. Connie Lee, Arirang News.

Protesters Riot Over Ten Cent Fare Hike At Rio Train Station Protesters Riot Over Ten Cent Fare Hike At Rio Train Station Protesters Riot Over Ten Cent Fare Hike At Rio Train Station Protesters Riot Over Ten Cent Fare Hike At Rio Train Station This is how Brazil deals with Tube protests: Rioters take over stations and clash with police over ten cent fare rise Rioters seized control of Rio's main railway station as protests against a rise in travel costs erupted in violence across Brazil's capital. Police fired tear gas and stun grenades on demonstrators who had taken to the streets after the city's mayor announced a 10-cent hike in bus fare. During the violence a cameraman for Band TV was hit in the head by either a stun grenade launched by police or a homemade explosive tossed by protesters; it was not immediately clear which. A photographer captured the horrifying moment the missile hit him. Band said in a statement that cameraman Santiago Andrade was taken to a hospital by police and underwent surgery. He's in serious condition. For several hours last night members of the passe livre, or free pass, movement occupied Central do Brasil, smashed ticket barriers and let commuters travel without paying. This is the latest protest to hit Brazil since last June, when nationwide demonstrations broke out after a sharp police crackdown on a group in Sao Paulo that was marching against an increase in public transportation fares.
