Yet another bomb incidents happen again and again, it seems quite common and most often occurs bombs, but this time the incident hapir bomb killed a prime minister of Syrian.

The incident occurred in a leafy swath of the Mezzeh district in southwest Damascus.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group opposed to President Bashar al-Assad's government, also reported that the prime minister survived.
The observatory said one of al-Halqi's escorts and five civilians were killed. Another escort and a driver were badly injured, the group said.
SANA, which called the blast a "terrorist explosion" targeting al-Halqi's convoy, reported casualties but did not list details. The agency's website cited material damage and posted images of badly damaged cars and a person being carried away on a stretcher.

It is also near Mount Mezzeh, the home of al-Assad's palace. For months, Syrian rebels have been trying to infiltrate Damascus in their attempt to oust al-Assad and end four decades of family rule.
The civil war in Syria has killed more than 70,000 people, mostly civilians, over the past two years.
Syria and chemical weapons
Russia sounded another warning Monday about the West's consternation about allegations that Syria has used chemical weapons.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov maintained it's "unacceptable" for countries to use the weapons of mass destruction issue in Syria to topple the al-Assad government.
"Perhaps there are some states that believe any methods are good as long as they can help overthrow the Syrian regime. However, the subject of the use of weapons of mass destruction is far too serious," he said, according to state-run RIA Novosti. "I think it is unacceptable to use it, to speculate on it for geopolitical purposes."
RIA Novosti said Lavrov was commenting on American and British statements that chemical weapons may have been used in Syria.
The foreign minister previously warned against a repeat of the "Iraqi scenario" in which claims that Saddam Hussein's government possessed so-called weapons of mass destruction were the basis of the U.S.-led invasion. He also said that international investigators were asking "too much" by demanding access to all facilities in Syria and to have the right to interview any Syrians.
In a letter sent to lawmakers before U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced there was evidence that sarin was used in Syria, the White House said that intelligence analysts have concluded "with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin."
President Barack Obama has said that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would cross a "red line" threshold for greater U.S. action in the country.

U.N. official says,Drones killing innocent Pakistanis

U.N. official says,Drones killing innocent Pakistanis

in an age which is too advanced to make all the scientists and the rest of the world are competing in the invention of new technology, with a high level of sophistication. Many people make new technologies to meet the needs of modern-paced and continuously growing. The new technology brings many benefits, but unfortunately sometimes these technologies also impact the bad examples that exist in this country pakistan.Farmers are on their way to tend their crops when a missile slams into their midst, thrusting shrapnel in all directions.

A CIA drone, flying so high that the farmers can't see it, has killed most of them. None of them were militants.

It's a common scenario, a United Nations human rights researcher said Friday in a statement on drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan.

READ: The trouble with U.S. drone policy

Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson just returned from the region, where he listened to residents talk about terrifying encounters with one of America's weapons in the war on terror.

"Adult males carrying out ordinary daily tasks were frequently the victims of such strikes," the statement from the U.N. office for human rights said.

Some Pashtun men dress the same as Taliban members from the same region, hence the drone operators mistake them for terror targets, the statement said. It is also customary for Pashtun men to carry a weapon, making them virtually indistinguishable from militants to an outsider.

The United States has 8,000 drones, unmanned planes and helicopters flown by a remote control. They are outfitted with a video camera to help the operator spot targets and often armed with weapons used to neutralize them.

READ: What is the drone industry really worth?

President Barack Obama has told CNN that a target must meet "very tight and very strict standards."

CIA director John Brennan has said that only in "exceedingly rare" cases have civilians been "accidentally injured, or worse, killed in these strikes."

Pope Francis

Pope Francis

the latest and hottest news was sucking viewers worldwide. Bahagya news unutu all Catholics, current turnover and elected pope Pope Francis, the pontiff of firsts.

When Jorge Bergoglio stepped onto the balcony at the Vatican on Wednesday to reveal himself as the new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, he made history as the first non-European pope of the modern era, the first from Latin America, the first Jesuit and the first to assume the name Francis.

What do you think about the new pope? Tell us.

The new pope then quickly made another kind of history, breaking with tradition in his first public act before the 150,000 people packed into St. Peter's Square. Rather than bless the crowd first, he asked them to pray for him.

"Let us say this prayer, your prayer for me, in silence," he told the cheering crowd.

The willingness by Francis to dispense with tradition was interpreted by a Vatican spokesman as a sign he will be willing to chart his own path in other ways.

"We have a pope who probably upset some people tonight by not following the formula," the Rev. Tom Rosica said.

The pontiff also broke with another tradition by refusing to use a platform to elevate himself above the cardinals standing with him as he was introduced to the world as Pope Francis.

"He said I'll stay down here," Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York and the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "He met each of us on our own level."

America's Slave Narratives

America's Slave Narratives 

The origin of a country is definitely different, too diverse for stout country so many stories anyway.

Every country has a lot of stories ranging from the history of the discovery area, population, and history of the establishment of a state. A lot of stories that can be obtained in an establishment of the state there is a sad story there is also a happy story.

The usual sad story in a country that is encountered in which a country occupied by another country, a country which fought over the region by expanding the territory.

Happy story of a country in which there is time to win state and be able to lead the country in its domination. To get all that a country does not hesitate to sacrifice his people to be employed for the benefit of a country. The state does not even think about how the objec people enslaved. Do not want to know about life and comfort as expressed in the following story as an example of this His words, and those of thousands of other American citizens, were transcribed in the 1930s, at the depth of the Great Depression. As part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's efforts to restart the economy, the Works Progress Administration was founded, and one arm of the WPA was something called the Federal Writers' Project.

Men and women were hired by the government to work on various assignments documenting American history and American life.

"If a woman was a good breeder she brought a good price on the auction block," said Hattie Rogers, a North Carolina resident, when she was interviewed in 1937. "The slave buyers would come around and jab them in the stomach and look them over and if they thought they would have children fast they brought a good price."

We are in the midst of Black History Month. The slave years in the United States were not only black history, they were American history -- the ugliest and most indefensible chapter.

What is so shattering is the matter-of-fact tone of what the former slaves said. The United States was well into the 20th century by the time the interviews were conducted; automobiles had come to the nation, as had radio and motion pictures and air travel. The country, in many ways, was beginning to resemble the nation we live in now.

Yet residing in America's cities and towns were men and women who recalled being sold at auction, of seeing brothers and sisters led away in chains, of having -- in their words -- "good owners" or "cruel masters." Survivors of a time when, in many states, it was perfectly lawful for human beings to own other human beings, and to buy and sell them.

Mary Armstrong, 91 and living in Houston when she was interviewed, said the person who owned her family was "so mean he never would sell the man and woman and (children) to the same one. He'd sell the man here and the woman there and if (there were children) he'd sell them someplace else."

Charity Riddick, 80, interviewed in North Carolina, had a similar memory. "I belonged to Madison Pace in slavery time," she said. She had a brother whose first name was Washington, she said, but he was "sold away." Their mother "cried a lot about it."

The former slaves who were still alive in the 1930s were, of course, the youngest of those who were enslaved before emancipation. Many of them were relating childhood or adolescent memories, while others were passing on what their parents related to them.

There were many, however, who were old enough to have vivid firsthand recollections of specific instances. Stearlin Arnwine, who was 94 and living near Jacksonville, Texas, when he was interviewed, said he would see slaves on the auction block, stripped to the waist for inspection by potential buyers. Women and their children, he said, would be crying and begging "not to be separated," but it did no good: "They had to go."

As anguishing as are the stories recounted by the former slaves, troubling in a different way was the methodology many of the interviewers chose in committing the stories to written form. Most of the writers were white; in the 1930s, apparently it was still considered acceptable to use crudely rendered dialect in recreating on paper the speech patterns of African-Americans. That is how some of the writers transcribed the interviews, and in many cases it comes off as something close to mockery, whether or not it was intended that way.

And, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that this must no longer be permitted to go on, millions of Americans said that he was dead wrong.
