of Iraq, the Baath party's enemies have declared it open season to
hunt down and murder hundreds of the former regime's officials - with
not the slightest attempt by the Anglo-American armies or their newly
installed police force to end the bloodshed.In the Shia city of Najaf,
42 ex-members of the Baath have been murdered and not a single arrest
has followed. In Basra, controlled by British troops, almost 50 Baathists
have been found with their hands bound behind their backs and a s
ingle bullet hole in the neck. Again, there have been
no arrests.KM News Click Here for Detailed

Fight to Defend Dignity
"I was working for a private company from 1992.
This company was totally taken care of by me till 28th June 2001.I
had officially resigned from the company on 11/02/2001 and had given
my Local Sponsor a letter about my intention not to continue with
my services.As per the Oman labour law I should have given one month
notice but I still continued working till 28th June 2001 till the
time I had to go on for my father's emergency operation...The final
settlement of my dues as per the Omani Labour Law, were not given
to me. When I returned I was called by the police on false complains
made by my sponsor's wife. I have gone through all these problems
in the last 3 years and still my payment is due. Four dates were given
by the Labour Dept but the Sponsor did not turn In the meantime my
father who was 70 years old expired on 9th Aug 2002 but I was not
allowed to leave the country as my passport was held by the... police
station against false allegations. I have also tried to take assistance
from the Indian Embassy but I was told that they can not get involved
in local company matters. They suggested that if I wish they would
issue me an out-pass to leave the country which would have helped
my company and would have proved that I have committed some crime
in the company. I I refused as I always worked very hard and honestly
for the company.... I have been mentally, physically and financially,
suffering a lot for the past 27 months till date.Watch this Space

neo-computer literate of Malappuram has already crossed 60 years of
age. A small minority is even older than 70. Malappuram is making
history in IT education through the Akshaya project. It is a model
not only for India but also for all developing countries. Full

AHMEDBAD- Imam Hussain a Bangladeshi national who
was arrested in the Ahmedbad Airport for allegedly sending Indian
girls for immoral activities abroad, runs a readymade garments shop
in Salalah. Married to a dancer, he was trying to send girls to a
hotel in Salalah. Before selecting the girls, the culprits get their
biodata and big size photographs. According to a report in a reputed
Gujarathi newspaper, the agents who sent these girls from India are
Rajan, Pappu, Pandey, Raghu, Rahim, Shankar Shetty, Praful, Jadav,
Shamsuddin, Ashok, S. Nambiar (who???), Surendra etc. A leading businessman
has obtained a clean certificate from the Indian mission, proving
the group's non involvement in the sex trade. According to diplomatic
sources, the businessman has been disturbed by some reports in India
suggesting the involvement of some people with similar sounding names.
The high profile business group has rushed to the embassy to get a
clean certificate and shield its reputation from being maligned by
linking it to any such immoral cases. --Watch this space.
