Witnesses: Boko Haram Massacres Hundreds In Nigeria
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Boko Haram militants dressed as soldiers slaughtered at least 200 civilians in three villages in northeastern Nigeria and the military failed to intervene even though it was warned that an attack was imminent, witnesses said on Thursday.A community leader who witnessed the killings on Monday said residents of the Gwoza local government district in Borno state had pleaded for the military to send soldiers to protect the area after they heard that militants were about to attack, but help didn't arrive. The killings occurred in Danjara, Agapalwa, and Antagara.
"We all thought they were the soldiers that we earlier reported to that the insurgents might attack us," said a community leader who escaped the massacre and fled to Maiduguri, Borno state capital.
The militants arrived in Toyota Hilux pickup trucks — commonly used by the military — and told the civilians they were soldiers "and we are here to protect you all," the same tactic used by the group when they kidnapped more than 300 girls from a school in the town of Chibok on April 15.
After people gathered in the center on the orders of the militants, "they begin to shout 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar' on top of their voices, then they begin to fire at the people continuously for a very long time until all that gathered were all dead," said the witness who didn't want to be named for fear for his safety.
Attack on Yemen checkpoint kills 14
Fourteen people have been killed in an attack by suspected al-Qaeda militants in southern Yemen, officials say.
The militants reportedly opened fire with machine-guns at an army checkpoint in Bayhan, in Shabwa province, at dawn.The interior ministry says eight troops and six tribesmen died. Initial reports said a civilian was among those killed.
Meanwhile, the army said 40 soldiers and 500 militants had been killed since an offensive against al-Qaeda and its allies in the south began in April.
The army regained control of several major towns in Shabwa and Abyan provinces during a similar campaign in 2012, but the militants were able to retreat to remote rural areas and regroup.
Maarib offensive Since the new campaign began on 29 April, following a series of deadly drone strikes on their strongholds, the militants have fled to desert and mountain areas and stepped up their attacks on security personnel.
"I want to stress that the military operations will also include the areas where some militants have fled and where sabotage is taking place, which is the other face of terrorism," army spokesman Col Saeed al-Faquih told a news conference on Thursday.
Militants attack city north of Baghdad, killing 7 members of Iraqi security forces
BAGHDAD – Iraqi officials
say militants have launched an attack on a Sunni-dominated city north of
Baghdad, killing seven members of the security forces and taking
control of some areas of the city.
Police officials say the assault started on Thursday morning with dozens of gunmen driving into Samarra in SUVs and attacking security checkpoints and police stations across the city.
The
army bombed the militants and sent in helicopter gunships, which
managed to push the attackers back somewhat, though they remain in
control of some areas of the city. Samarra is 95 kilometers (60 miles)
north of Baghdad.
The officials say that apart from the seven policemen and soldiers killed, several attackers also died.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
SAO PAULO, June 4 (Reuters) - Thousands of homeless workers on Wednesday marched peacefully on Brazil's Arena Corinthians stadium, which is to host the opening game of the soccer World Cup next week, pressing their cause under the spotlight of the global sporting event.
Voting took place in government-controlled areas, but not in parts of the north and east held by rebels.
Tens of thousands of people have died in three years of civil war in Syria, with millions more displaced.
President Assad's sole challengers, Hassan al-Nouri and Maher Hajjar, received 4.3% and 3.2% of the vote respectively.
Celebratory gunfire It was the first time in decades that someone other than a member of the Assad family had been allowed to stand for president in Syria.
But Mr Assad's opponents and people living in rebel-held areas dismissed the election as a farce, arguing that it has no credibility in the midst of a civil war.
The opposition's allies in the West also denounced the ballot, with US Secretary of State John Kerry, on a visit to neighbouring Lebanon, describing it as "meaningless".
The move by the National Anti-Corruption Commission follows a May 22 military coup that overthrew the elected government Yingluck had led. She was forced from office herself by a court ruling earlier in May that she had abused her authority in approving the transfer of a high-level civil servant.
Regimes that come to power through a coup usually seek to publicize
alleged corruption by the governments they overthrew as a way of
discrediting them and justifying their own takeover. Yingluck's brother
Thaksin Shinawatra faced similar treatment after a 2006 coup ousted him
from the prime minister's job. He is in self-imposed exile to escape a
jail term, on a conflict of interest conviction.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission had already indicted Yingluck over charges of dereliction of duty in overseeing the rice subsidy program, charging that she failed to heed advice that it was potentially wasteful and prone to corruption. The Senate could have held an impeachment trial that might have barred her from politics for five years, but the parliamentary body was dissolved by the army after the coup.
Four high-profile attacks on civilians since late October have handed a major security challenge to China's president, Xi Jinping, during his first 15 months in office. The attacks have been blamed on extremists from the Xinjiang region's native Turkic-speaking Uighurs seeking to overthrow Chinese rule and inspired by global jihadi ideology.
Since a vegetable market bombing that killed 43 people on 22 May, officials have issued a flurry of announcements citing more than 300 arrests and scores of rapid prosecutions resulting in stiff sentences including the death penalty, raising concerns among some human rights advocates that the prosecutions may be trampling legal rights.
David Zweig, a political scientist at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said the Chinese government felt threatened by the attacks and wanted to show the public it had the means to stop them.
"They would be quite concerned that the general population is afraid that they can't manage the situation," Zweig said. "They probably feel that if they go and arrest a lot of people very quickly and lock them up, that they might have a chance of breaking the cycle."
Authorities have said 23 extremist groups have been broken up, including a group of five allegedly plotting another bomb attack. Last week, officials said 55 people charged with terrorism and other crimes were sentenced at a stadium in northern Xinjiang including at least one sentenced to death.
Officials have warned people to stay inside and lock their doors.
The two wounded Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers are undergoing surgery and are said to be in a stable condition.
"We have an armed and dangerous individual and we do not know where he is," RCMP Commanding Officer Roger Brown told reporters, asking citizens to remain "vigilant".
RCMP Supt Marlene Snowman warned that the suspect was armed with high-powered firearms.
"He's not known to us, he's a young person," she said. "We're doing a complete investigation to learn as much as we can about him, about his history, what may have sparked this."
New Brunswick Premier David Alward said he felt "incredible grief" stemming from the incident.
The officers were shot while responding to a report of an armed man at the north-west side of the town at about 20:00 local time (23:00 GMT) on Wednesday.
"We opened up the windows in the family room and there he was going across through the back with this rifle on his shoulder," witness Joan MacAlpine-Stiles told Canadian media.
"I said, 'Oh my God, there he is with camouflage and the headband and a gun, and it looked like a bow he had with him."

The pilot of the AV-8B Harrier jet ejected safely, and has been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The US Marine Corps said eight homes had been evacuated but no-one on the ground was hurt.
An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the crash, it said in a statement..
Resident Adriana Ramos, 45, said her house shook when the plane crashed.
"It felt like a bomb was thrown in the backyard,'' she said.
The president fielded a question on the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl controversy during a press conference on Thursday in Brussels, Belgium, alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron. Amid signals that the administration plans to aggressively challenge critics of the deal, the president brushed off the pushback as business as usual in Washington.
"I'm never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in Washington. That's par for the course," Obama said.
He reiterated that he was adhering to a principle that America does not leave soldiers behind.
"We had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about -- and we saw an opportunity and we seized it," he said. "And I make no apologies for that."
Stateside, the administration is facing a storm of controversy from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, with one going so far as to threaten impeachment if Obama uses this as an opening to shutter Guantanamo.
Putin's comments Tuesday came in response to questions posed by French journalists regarding remarks Clinton reportedly made earlier this year in which she compared the Russian leader's aggression in Ukraine to Adolf Hitler’s tactics in the 1930s.
"It’s better not to argue with women," Putin said, per a transcript of the interview posted online by the Kremlin. "But Ms. Clinton has never been too graceful in her statements. Still, we always met afterwards and had cordial conversations at various international events. I think even in this case we could reach an agreement. When people push boundaries too far, it’s not because they are strong but because they are weak. But maybe weakness is not the worst quality for a woman."
The interview, the Kremlin writes on its website, was conducted on Jun. 3 in Sochi.
Clinton, a potential Democratic 2016 presidential contender, hasn't been the only person who's been skewered by Putin for comparing him to Hitler. Last month, Reuters reported that the Russian president had accused Prince Charles of unroyal and unacceptable behavior after the royal allegedly compared him to the Nazi dictator.
Rice made the comments Sunday to ABC's "This Week," when asked whether the newly freed soldier was a deserter. "He served the United States with honor and distinction," she said. "And we'll have the opportunity eventually to learn what has transpired in the past years."
The comments have generated pushback considering numerous critical
reports of Bergdahl's conduct from his fellow soldiers and the Army's
internal records. The controversy follows Rice's appearance on several
Sunday shows after the 2012 Benghazi terror attack in which she
inaccurately linked the attack to protests over an anti-Islam film.
Some of the same critics who hammered Rice for those comments once again are speaking out. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told "Imus in the Morning" that Rice should "stay off the Sunday talk shows."
Obama officials are trying to temper the controversy.
One administration official told Fox News on Wednesday that Rice simply meant that Americans should not forget Bergdahl was serving his country in general.
Sources said the meeting included Clinton advisers Philippe Reines and Huma Abedin, as well as Times Washington bureau chief Carolyn Ryan and national political reporter Amy Chozick, who has been on the Clinton beat for the paper.
During the closed-door gathering, Clinton aides reportedly griped about the paper’s coverage of the potential 2016 candidate, arguing that Clinton has left public office and should not be subjected to harsh scrutiny, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Neither the Times nor the Clinton camp would discuss on the record specifics. However, sources familiar with the meeting describe it as an attempt to brush back and even intimidate the staff of the Times. The sometimes fraught relationship between Clinton and the press has been well documented.
“We are not going to comment,” said a Times spokesperson when contacted by the Free Beacon.
Reines and another spokesperson for Clinton did not respond to requests for comment.
Chozick’s recent reporting includes a story last month that suggested a family feud was brewing between the Clintons and Marjorie Margolies, Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law.
Margolies lost her Democratic primary bid for U.S. Congress in late May, and the Times reported that Hillary Clinton’s conspicuous absence from the campaign had rankled some Margolies allies.
In April, the Times also reported on Clinton’s difficulty defining her accomplishments at the State Department.

Brazil's Homeless Workers Hold Peaceful March On World Cup Arena
SAO PAULO, June 4 (Reuters) - Thousands of homeless workers on Wednesday marched peacefully on Brazil's Arena Corinthians stadium, which is to host the opening game of the soccer World Cup next week, pressing their cause under the spotlight of the global sporting event.
The Workers Without Homes Movement, which police estimated mobilized more than 10,000 people to demand more government spending on transport, health, education and low-income housing, shut down one of Sao Paulo's main highways to the stadium, which is fighting the clock to get ready for the June 12 event.
The notorious transport infrastructure constraints of South America's largest city won't ease soon, as foreigners start to straggle in ahead of the month-long tournament to catch some of the friendly matches now going on between national squads.
Brazil's decisive 4-to-nil victory over Panama in a friendly Tuesday does not seemed to have diffused the social tensions ahead of the official Cup.
Union workers of Sao Paulo's Metro subway system are set to go on strike from midnight. The city's traffic police also plan a strike on Thursday.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad wins third term
Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad has won a third term in office after securing 88.7% of votes in
Tuesday's presidential election, the parliamentary speaker has
announced.
Earlier, Syria's Supreme Constitutional Court put the turnout at 73.47%. Voting took place in government-controlled areas, but not in parts of the north and east held by rebels.

Thai government to probe assets of ex-prime minister
BANGKOK – Thailand's state anti-corruption agency said Thursday it will investigate the assets of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and four members of her Cabinet involved in a controversial rice subsidy program.The move by the National Anti-Corruption Commission follows a May 22 military coup that overthrew the elected government Yingluck had led. She was forced from office herself by a court ruling earlier in May that she had abused her authority in approving the transfer of a high-level civil servant.

China sentences nine to death for terrorism offences in Xinjiang
A further 72 people receive lesser sentences as authorities make 29 new arrests after deadly attacks blamed on Muslim extremists
Chinese authorities handed down the death penalty to nine people, sentenced a further 72 to lesser sentences and made 29 new arrests in a huge crackdown in the far west following deadly attacks blamed on Muslim extremists, state media and officials said on Thursday.Four high-profile attacks on civilians since late October have handed a major security challenge to China's president, Xi Jinping, during his first 15 months in office. The attacks have been blamed on extremists from the Xinjiang region's native Turkic-speaking Uighurs seeking to overthrow Chinese rule and inspired by global jihadi ideology.

Israel: Iran's cooperation with UN watchdog 'unacceptably slow'
VIENNA - Israel has condemned as unacceptably slow Iran's cooperation with a UN watchdog inquiry into suspected atomic bomb research and accused Tehran of providing "false" explanations for its disputed activities.
At a weekly board meeting of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said Iran had finally begun
to engage with an investigation into allegations that it has worked on
designing a nuclear warhead.
Western envoys to the IAEA cautiously welcomed the development,
calling for Tehran to pick up the pace of its cooperation, but Israel's
ambassador suggested Iran was just trying to buy time while pressing on
with its nuclear work.
Widely believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed power,
Israel sees Iran's atomic program as a direct threat and has in the past
warned it could carry out unilateral strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.
Iran, which rejects accusations that it has been trying to develop a
nuclear bomb capability, says it is Israel's presumed arsenal that
endangers regional peace and security.
"Iran continues to abuse what is termed as a 'step-by-step'
approach to the resolution of outstanding issues," Israeli Ambassador
Merav Zafary-Odiz said, referring to a phased cooperation pact agreed in
November between Iran and the IAEA.
"This pace of investigation is unacceptable ... Iran will continue
to provide false explanations and to hide the true nature of its
activities," she said, without giving details.
BRUSSELS: Diplomatic efforts to resolve the months-long standoff between Ukraine and Russia might end up with a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's president-elect, France's president said on Thursday.
Francois Hollande will host D-Day commemorations in Normandy on Friday and said Putin and Ukraine's president-elect, Petro Poroshenko, will be in close proximity to one another.
"Could President Putin meet with President Poroshenko? Yes," Hollande said at the end of a Brussels summit of the Group of Seven major economies.
"President Putin has been told. And he is coming, knowing he will be alongside, anyway not far from, the Ukraine president," Hollande said.
Russia has signaled its readiness for a direct dialogue with Poroshenko, a billionaire candy tycoon, who was elected May 25.
After the G-7 group kept the threat of further sanctions against Russia on the table, Thursday's action was moving from Brussels to Paris where at least two tete-a-tete meetings were planned between Putin and European leaders, including a dinner with Hollande.
If President Barack Obama didn't envisage such an encounter, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the eve of D-Day commemorations in Normandy.

Obama digs in on Taliban-for-Bergdahl trade, vows ‘no apologies’
President Obama, facing rising bipartisan criticism over his handling of the Taliban-for-Bergdahl prisoner swap, dug in his heels Thursday and declared he would make "absolutely no apologies" for bringing an American soldier home.The president fielded a question on the Sgt.

Putin Goes On Sexist Rant About Hillary Clinton
Russian President Vladimir Putin had some choice words for Hillary Clinton during an interview this week, calling the former Secretary of State a "weak" person who's "never been too graceful in her statements."Putin's comments Tuesday came in response to questions posed by French journalists regarding remarks Clinton reportedly made earlier this year in which she compared the Russian leader's aggression in Ukraine to Adolf Hitler’s tactics in the 1930s.

Obama team on defense over Rice’s Bergdahl ‘honor’ comments
Obama administration officials once again find themselves clarifying public statements made by National Security Adviser Susan Rice, after she claimed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl served "with honor and distinction" -- despite the findings of a 2010 Army probe that he deliberately walked off base.Rice made the comments Sunday to ABC's "This Week," when asked whether the newly freed soldier was a deserter.

Hillary To New York Times: Back Off | Washington Free Beacon
Some of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides blasted the New York Times for what they said was unfair coverage of the former first lady during a recent secret meeting with the paper’s Washington bureau, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.Sources said the meeting included Clinton advisers Philippe Reines and Huma Abedin, as well as Times Washington bureau chief Carolyn Ryan and national political reporter Amy Chozick, who has been on the Clinton beat for the paper.
