Islamic group plans Wootton march

published by You on 2 January, 2010 - 21:14

An Islamic group said to have links to an extremist movement is planning to march through the Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett.

The town has become famous for honouring British war dead returning from Afghanistan.

Islam4UK pledged the protest would be peaceful with symbolic coffins representing Muslim victims.

Wootton's former mayor Chris Wannell has called on the group's leader not to hold the march.

'Brutal crusade'

North Wiltshire MP James Gray said: "I've seen in the past assorted groups threaten to march, but they don't actually do it.

"I wouldn't think they'd get permission from the police."

Islam4UK is said to call itself a "platform" for the extremist movement al-Muhajiroun.

oing to bed earlier protects teenagers against depression and suicidal thoughts, research suggests.

And those who slept fewer than five hours a night had a 71% higher risk of depression than those who slept eight hours, the journal Sleep reports.

It is estimated 80,000 UK children and young people have depression.

The researchers from Columbia University Medical Center in New York looked at data from 15,500 teenagers collected in the 1990s.

One in 15 of those studied were found to have depression.

US judge dismisses charges in Blackwater Iraq killings

published by You on 31 December, 2009 - 22:05

A US federal judge has dismissed all charges against five guards from US security firm Blackwater over the killing of 17 Iraqis in 2007.

The five, contracted to defend US diplomatic personnel, were accused of opening fire on a crowd in Baghdad.

District Judge Ricardo Urbina said the US justice department had used evidence prosecutors were not supposed to have.

The five had all pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. A sixth guard admitted killing at least one Iraqi.

The killings, which took place in Nisoor Square, Baghdad, strained Iraq's relationship with the US and raised questions about US contractors operating in war zones.
