The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations.

Various sizes of particles showed that the deposit may be caused by the tsunami at the time. This discovery is more accidental, Goodman noted. They actually studied the demise of the ancient port of Caesarea, which is still a debate, because of what anything, including the possibility of earthquakes and tsunamis.

"I'm testing the remains of Roman and Byzantine tsunami by examining the grain size of sand, gravel, stones, pieces of ceramics - the remains of it. I do not think that the remnants of the Santorini event will be included in the core". [Ito ]

While Malikus University Antroplog Teuku Kemal Salih Fasya Lhoksuemawe no candidate wins a correlation with the implementation of the Aceh Islamic law in Aceh. "It's about the election contest relating to women's physical appearance and specific insights related to the woman, and I do not consider this victory to be certain ideological messages for women of Aceh," he told INILAH.COM in Jakarta, Sunday (11/10) .

Further members of the Central Advisory Council (MPP) Students Forum Sharia in Indonesia (Formation) is asserted, does not need to respond reactively by Islamic religious leaders respond to the original winning NAD Qory by not wearing the hijab. "That is the personal choices of the woman, and not the representation of women in Aceh," he said.

Death saifudin and Syahrir regrettable

www.tempointeraktif.com :

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta - Observer International Crisis Group Sydney Jones reminded the public that will not trigger-happy killing of two co-Noor Din M. Top, Saifuddin Zuhri and Syahrir, in raids in Ciputat.

"We should be sorry they were killed, not captured alive, because the information into their network is lost," he said via phone on Friday (9 / 10).

He believes too early to draw a conclusion that the network was ex-Noordin is up, because the information is not enough.

According to him, there are many things to know, such as how recruiting Zuhri saifudin network outside the Jamaah Islamiyah, such as what the network connection with the Middle East, and how the role Syahrir used at work, Garuda Indonesia. "Instead of blaming (the police), but if there is no other option?" he said.

Jones asked for another police officer time to be more careful and pursue a successful terrorist can be tracked captured alive.

Former Jamaah Islamiyah Mantiqi Nasir Abbas assumed death saifudin Syahrir Zuhri and certainly not wish the police. "But because it happened resistance, so be it," he said.

Nasir assess police have and will continue to collect data from a captured terrorist, so that the remaining network can be traced and disabled.

However, he admitted terrorist recruitment will not stop at one or two people were killed pentolannya. Material that could recruit or trigger other people to do acts of terrorism, he said, easily available on the internet or in book form.

Jones added, it is interesting from two of Noor Din's background is both. "Usually their network members drawn from the Jamaah Islamiyah, but saifudin Zuhri and Syahrir not," he said.

Moreover, these two seem to have a higher position in the network rather than an actor Noor Din others, such as Bejo and Purwa.

"Then, whoever their friends and the community of what?" Jones said wondering. He considered SYAIFUDIN Syahrir Zuhri and have relationships with people outside the group of known apparatus, such as Jamaah Islamiyah and the Islamic State of Indonesia.

"So there are other groups in Indonesia, although some people do not stand out, which is still dangerous."

Crushing Drama Zuhri and Syahrir

inilah.com :

NOT too difficult to ambush the terrorists 'agrarian' who claim to be al-Qaeda network in Southeast Asia. At least, in the footsteps of two members of the network that Noordin M Top mahadahsyat not a terrorist. Although we must admit, they are 'big fish' that targeted police officers because of their brutal actions.

The proof, two terrorist network leader Noordin M Top SYAIFUDIN Zuhri and Mohammad Syahrir police raided the campus area of the Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Syarief Hidayatullah, Ciputat, Tangerang detected it was already a long time. Their existence began tracked since in Brass and Bogor, West Java.

Related to the hideout, the terrorists chose the area around the campus of Islam in this Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, intelligence analysts have said that actually it is not a new phenomenon.

Earlier, Hussein and Noordin Azhari M line is also hiding around the campus of Islam. In hiding, Noordin has lived around campus Universistas Islam Bandung (Unisba).

It is said that the network and Syahrir Zuhri was limited in the area of West Java. One of their network areas including Kuningan and Bogor. They build networks in the region of West Java, including Kuningan and Bogor.

And it shows, the two terrorists were highly dependent agrarian to Noordin in seeking funding, building networks or cells, and planning steps forward. Without Noordin authoritative and powerful, proven two terrorists were not too difficult to arrested.

The police took no more than five minutes to 'complete' and Mohamad SYAIFUDIN Syahrir Zuhri. They were shot dead by densus standard 88 killed in action on Friday (9 / 10) afternoon. Both these brothers had to fight so that there are cops who go injured.

The terrorists had a chance to fight by throwing bombs. The raids began at 11.30 pm. Plainclothes police banging on the door of the room allegedly occupied boarding and Syahrir SYAIFUDIN it. Not long later, police dressed in full uniform entered the rooming house. Police had issued any tear gas.

Three days ago, said there were two men the same characteristics with SYAIFUDIN Zuhri and Mohamad Syahrir come to the boardinghouse at the Semanggi area, Ciputat, Tangerang. Both pay the rent deposit number 15.

Apparently, the two terrorists who escaped out of the ordinary boarding room only at night. Even when addressed regarding their existence, they do not answer in detail.

Zuhri SYAIFUDIN name into the search list of people (DPO) by the relevant Police Headquarters as a recruiter allegedly 'bride'. One of his works can be seen, he allegedly became recruiters Dani Permana and Nana Dwi Maulana Brethren. This SYAIFUDIN Ibrohim precisely who recruit in 2000.

While Syahrir are experts had feared the aircraft would make an attack on the airport of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, or others.

Now SYAIFUDIN Syahrir Zuhri and Mohammad were killed in the raid team Detachment 88 anti-terror around campus Sharif Hidayatullah Jakarta. This was good news and good performance of the police, who deserve our appreciation. This is the final play and Syahrir Zuhri.

Despite the terrorists 'big' is already disabled, we can not guard. Society and government must continue to watch because the killers were still there that haunts. They have not all be disabled. They are the blood sucking vampire that we must prevent and cope with real action. [mor]
