Suicide bombing kills three policemen in Mosul, Iraq

Mosul, Iraq (Reuters)-Three suicide bomb attacks against checkpoints in Mosul, Northern Iraq, killing three police on Thursday night, police sources said.

The violence was part of a wave of attacks that fueled concerns about the return of violence between groups of people after the withdrawal of u.s. troops from Iraq by December 2011.

According to police sources, two of the three suspects crashed their car into the checkpoint.

On 14 February, which generally attacks aimed at security forces in northern Iraq, including Mosul, killing seven people.

There is no party that claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Sunni guerrillas often launch such attacks in an attempt to destabilize the Government and encourage the return of sectarian violence like in 2005-2008.

Violence is the last of a wave of bombings and suicide attacks in the middle of a political crisis between Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and his Government partners and protest marches over the past few weeks demanding his resignation.

Iraq is engulfed in political chaos and violence that killed thousands of people since u.s. forces completed a withdrawal from the country on 18 December 2011, leaving security responsibilities to Iraq troops.

In addition to having problems with the Kurds, Iraq's Government is also at odds with Sunni groups.

Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (Shiite) since December 2011 sought the arrest of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of terrorism and attempting to dismiss Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-absolute. Both are Sunni leaders.

The scholars warn that Maliki is encouraging sectarian divisions, and protestors gathered in the streets of Iraq by carrying banners in support of the Government and criticized Hashemi.

Iraq officials issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on December 19, 2011 after they gain recognition that connect him with terrorist activity.

Dozens of guards of Hashemi, a Sunni Arab leader, was arrested in a few weeks after the announcement, but it is not clear how many people were now on hold.

Hashemi, who denied the allegations, was hiding in the Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, and Kurdish leaders refused to pass them to Baghdad.

The Kurdish government even allowed the regional visit to Hashemi did Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, according to Reuters.

SANAA | Sun Oct 23, 2011 4:29pm EDT

SANAA (Reuters) - Gunfire and shelling in the Yemeni capital Sanaa killed two people on Sunday, medics said, two days after the United Nations issued a resolution condemning the violence and urging President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.

A third person was killed in the southern city of Taiz during protests demanding an end to Saleh's 33-year rule, while street fighting between state troops and soldiers and tribesmen siding with the opposition showed no sign of slowing.

At least 14 soldiers were injured on Sunday, including five aligned with top general Ali Mohsen, who defected from Saleh in March and threw his weight behind the protesters. Demonstrators accused government snipers of shooting at their camp in Sanaa.

"There are one dead and six injured due to firing in the south of Change Square at dawn," said Dr Mohammed al-Qubati, the head of a field hospital in the camp, earlier on Sunday.

Government and opposition traded blame for the death of a young girl who was killed when a shell landed on her family's house, also injuring her mother, witnesses said.

A nine-month confrontation between Saleh and a fractured opposition of student protesters, tribal leaders and dissident army factions has escalated in recent weeks after a three-month lull.

Saleh has thrice backed out of signing a Gulf-brokered transition plan that would see him leave office and says he will only transfer power to "safe hands."

On Friday the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution condemning the crackdown on protesters and urging the veteran leader to sign a deal proposed by Gulf states which would see him step down in return for immunity from prosecution.

The Arab League in a statement on Sunday welcomed the resolution, calling on Saleh to quickly sign the Gulf intiative and allow its implementation to begin.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators set off on a protest march on Sunday from Change Square, the street intersection next to Sanaa University on the capital's ring-road where the opposition has set up camp.

In Saturday's clashes, five soldiers loyal to the opposition and five civilians were killed, witnesses and Sanaa residents said.

State news channels said five soldiers and three civilians had been killed, blaming the violence on non-government militias.

Rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and automatic weapons were used in the al-Hasaba, Soufan and al-Nahda districts of northern Sanaa, where soldiers loyal to the opposition are based.

Cardinal Conquest: Albert Pujols Hits Three Home Runs in Record-Breaking Game

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Eric Gay / AP St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols hits a two-run home run during the seventh inning of Game 3.

Eric Gay / AP

Well, that's more like it. This year's Mr. October has emerged from the World Series.

The first two games of the World Series, between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, were pitching duels, a surprise given the offensive prowess of both teams. But the Series saw its first offensive explosion in Saturday night's Game 3, and it was a historic one. Albert Pujols had his Mr. October moment, as he hit three home runs in St. Louis' 16-7 pounding of the Rangers in Arlington, Texas. The Cardinals lead the series, 2-1, and are just two wins away from clinching their 11th World Series title in franchise history.

If it weren't for Pujols' ninth inning error in Game 2, in which he missed a cutoff throw that allowed the eventual winning run to advance into scoring position in Texas' 2-1 come-from-behind victory, the Cardinals might be up 3-0, in a position to sweep the series. Pujols then ducked the media after the game, calling his leadership and accountability into question.

In Game 3, Pujols annihilated his critics. His three home runs tied Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson for the most in a World Series game (Ruth did it twice). Pujols also had five hits and six RBIs: no one had previous recorded two home runs, four hits, and five RBSs in a single World Series game. Pujols amassed 14 total bases in Game 3, a World Series record, and also became the first player to get hits in four consecutive innings in a World Series game.

(READ: Rangers Versus Cardinals, a Middle-Class, Middle America World Series)

Pujols' effort might not only propel the Cardinals to the World Series. It should also earn him a handsome payout. Pujols' free agent status has been a major baseball storyline all season. If there was any doubt that Pujols, the greatest hitter of the last decade who may go down as one of the greatest of all time, was going to earn a contract in the neighborhood of Alex Rodriguez's 10-year, $250 million deal in 2007, it might have vanished into the October night, like one of his home runs.

In this post-bubble economy, Pujols might not exactly hit those exorbitant numbers. But his contract will be close. For any team, such a deal might not make the most economic sense. Even if Pujols breaks every World Series record now, age could still cause him to decline in five years. (Pujols is 31). Throughout baseball history, such decline tends to occur with great sluggers.

But sports franchises sometimes act irrationally. Pujols' Game 3 performance will intoxicate teams throughout the majors. Maybe even St. Louis.  And if he doesn't sign it in St. Louis, the team for which he has played throughout this 11-year career, it just won't feel appropriate. The New Mr. October belongs to the Cardinals.

Three blasts kill 12 in Iraq's Kerbala

KERBALA, Iraq | Sun Sep 25, 2011 4:24am EDT

KERBALA, Iraq (Reuters) - Three blasts in the Iraqi city of Kerbala killed at least 12 people and wounded 30 more as they lined up outside a local government building, police said on Sunday.

A bomb in a car exploded outside the offices where national ID cards and passports are issued and two other blasts went off as emergency services arrived at the site.

"When people and security personnel were busy evacuating the dead and the wounded, another two explosions hit the place, causing more casualties," a Kerbala police official said.

Kerbala, a major Shi'ite holy city 80 km (50 miles) southwest of the capital Baghdad, has often been attacked in the past by Sunni Islamist insurgents targeting Shi'ite pilgrims who flock to the city's religious sites.

A suicide bomber targeting pilgrims on their way to Kerbala killed four people and wounded 17 others on Thursday.

Violence has eased since the height of sectarian strife in 2006-2007, but insurgents tied to al-Qaeda and Shi'ite militias still carry out almost daily attacks that are testing Iraq's government as U.S. troops prepare to withdraw at the end of the year.
