RUSSIA: OWNER OF OPPOSITION WEBSITE KILLED

Where's your God now Keith Olberman?

An opposition Internet news site owner in Russia's troubled Ingushetia region was fatally shot on Sunday soon after being detained by police, and his colleagues called for a rally to protest his death.

Magomed Yevloyev is one of the most high-profile journalists to be killed in Russia since investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead near her Moscow apartment in 2006, provoking condemnation of Russia's record on media freedom.

Yevloyev, owner of the www.Ingushetiya.ru website, was a vocal critic of the region's Kremlin-backed administration, accused by opponents of crushing dissent and free speech.

BLOGGER CLAIMS RUDY GIULIANI'S TEAM ACQUIRED THE MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE

I'm sort of stuck with covering this story now. Even though I'm growing very tired of it.

The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama.

Things will only get more interesting. Either way, Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.

Apparently this tape is tougher to find than the Holy Grail. And why would Rudy's team have acquired anything? Dude was only in the race for like 3 hours. It's starting to look like this is all orchestrated by Obama's people to get McCain's people to bite. If they did bite, that would be the last time McCain could challenge Obama and his racist/socialist associations. So don't bite you old bastard.

GERMAN BASED BLOGGER ACCUSED OF ENGINEERING IRAN MOSQUE BLAST

Damn! Engineering terrorism within Iran? I can't even get people to comment at my blog.

Six suspects among the 15 people detained over the explosion in Shiraz are linked to a German-based monarchist weblog, a report says.

The six agents, two of them chemistry students, were in contact with a blogger, belonging to the German-based Rahe Azadi (Way of Freedom) weblog, via email, JAHAN reported.

Earlier, they had detonated bombs in Fars Province sabotaging the Sivand and another Dam in return for a sum of over $20,000 from the blogger.

The blogger then requested the 'facilitators' to target two public places, promising each bomber a $100,000 reward.

A crowded mosque in Shiraz was the site of the first blast, which left 14 people killed and some 200 others injured on April 12.

The explosives used in the blast were described as two containers of chemical material.

The bombers were next assigned to target Tehran's International Book Fair, May 1-11, at the city's congregational prayer venue.

Iran has accused the United States, Britain and Israel of funding the suspects and providing them with necessary expertise to make bombs.

See this earlier report.

UPDATE: We covered this before, but it bears repeating...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Israel Tuesday of involvement in the Shiraz mosque explosion last month that killed 14 people, Iranian news agency (IRNA) reported.

After Iran claimed earlier that the United States and Britain were responsible for the explosion, Ahmadinejad named Israel too, and said that “the three countries announced that they were planning to assassinate Iranians, which was followed a short time later by the Shiraz mosque crime.” The Iranian leader added that “thanks to efforts by Iranian intelligence agencies, the perpetrators of the blast were quickly arrested and confessed to their ties to the Zionist regime, the US and Britain.”

CHINA MOUNTS CYBER ATTACK ON INDIA

Chinese internet bullies piss me off...

China’s cyber warfare army is marching on, and India is suffering silently. Over the past one and a half years, officials said, China has mounted almost daily attacks on Indian computer networks, both government and private, showing its intent and capability.

The sustained assault almost coincides with the history of the present political disquiet between the two countries.

According to senior government officials, these attacks are not isolated incidents of something so generic or basic as "hacking" — they are far more sophisticated and complete — and there is a method behind the madness.

The core of the assault is that the Chinese are constantly scanning and mapping India’s official networks. This gives them a very good idea of not only the content but also of how to disable the networks or distract them during a conflict.

The big attacks that were sourced to China over the last few months included an attack on NIC (National Infomatics Centre), which was aimed at the National Security Council, and on the MEA.

Exactly a year ago, Indian computer security experts got a glimpse of what could happen when a targeted attack against Estonia shut that country down — it was done by one million computers from different parts of the world — and many of them were from India! That, officials said, was executed by cyber terrorists from Russia, who are deemed to be more deadlier.

And in a related note, CHINA IS BLOCKING BLOGGER SITES prior to the upcoming Olympics. That move is nothing other than a fear of a Big Feed planet.
