Newspulse across Globe
Alleged Al-Qaeda financier arrested in Karachi, Pakistan
Police have arrested an alleged Al-Qaeda financier in the southern port city of Karachi, AP reported, citing a Pakistani counter-terrorism official. Naveed Khawaja did not say when the man, identified as Mohammad Shabih, had been detained. The businessman reportedly had two chemical companies in Karachi and neighboring Iran. He made large donations to the Afghan Taliban and another extremist group and later focused on Al-Qaeda’s South Asian affiliate, according to the official.Nigeria in talks with Boko Haram militants over kidnapped girls – spokesman
The Nigerian government is talking to the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram to try to secure the release of more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls, presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said in a tweet quoting President Muhammadu Buhari. Military from Nigeria and Chad freed hundreds of hostages from Boko Haram captivity earlier this year. However, none of those rescued were from the 219 girls abducted in April 2014 from a school in the northern town of Chibok, AP said. In July, Buhari predicted that Boko Haram would be defeated in 18 months or less, but conceded that Nigerian authorities lack intelligence about the missing girls after the mass kidnapping from Chibok.Abbas says Palestinians to ‘protect Jerusalem’ after clashes at holy site
A contentious Jerusalem holy site was calm Wednesday after three days of clashes between Muslims and Israeli forces at the hilltop compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, AP reported. Israeli armed forces were deployed at the entrance to the compound and adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday condemned the clashes, saying that none of Jerusalem’s holy sites belonged to Israel. “We will protect Jerusalem and will protect our Christian and Muslim holy sites,” he said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed tougher measures to curb the violence and visited the site where the 64-year-old Israeli died in his car after being attacked by rock-throwing Palestinians.Russia urges consolidation of efforts against ISIS, global terrorist threat
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday called for consolidation of international and regional partners’ efforts in fight against global terrorist threat. They should be based on international law with the United Nations playing key part, the ministry stressed in a commentary. It described the results of the US-led coalition’s fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) as “very modest.” The coalition, which was created a year ago “bypassing the UN Security Council” has not stopped expansion of terrorists in Syria and Iraq, according to the statement.Thousands protest in Japan as bills near passage for defense policy change
Thousands of people protested across Japan against bills for a defense policy change that could allow troops to fight abroad for the first time since World War II. About 10,000 people protesting amending Article 9 of the constitution gathered near the parliament in Tokyo, TASS reported. The government is insisting the changes to the law are vital to meet new challenges, such as that presented by rising neighbor China, Reuters said. The legislation could be voted into law by the upper house this week after committee approval. The legal revisions, which have already been approved by the lower house, include an end to a decades-old ban on defending a friendly nation under attack, or collective self-defense, when Japan faces a “threat to its survival.”
