Who is Behind Mumbia Attacks?

 TWO (2) dozen young and well-armed Muslim terrorists landed Wednesday night at the shores of Mumbia, the financial center of India, and wrought havoc and death among innocent civilians.

 The sophisticated and well-planned attacks were mainly directed against Westerners, but it did not spare Indians and other nationals who were either on business or on vacation in the upscale city of Mumbia.

 An American who survived the gruesome carnage, said the attackers were ' evil men and have no soul', who fired their automatic weapons. Indiscriminately at cafes and restaurants frequented by Westerners, killing and wounding hundreds of civilians.

 The magnitude of the killing spree that has recorded some 160 dead and 327 wounded showed some fifteen (15) police officers killed and a score of army commandos who flushed out terrorists from their well-entranced control rooms of two (2) 5- star hotels- the Taj Mahal and the Oberoi, that are mostly frequented by foreign guests.

 International news organizations reporting on the scene say that in the midst of the terror, and after the firing had come to a near end, the financial center of India, that is Mumbia, had its economy not only lay in ruins but more so the blood of the innocent was spilled all over the city.

 The Muslim terrorists who allegedly came from Pakistan carried backpacks with the most modern AK-47 automatic rifles and handguns, several magazines of spare ammunition and large numbers of grenades and bombs. Experts say that the Muslim raiders divided themselves into seven (7) teams with 3 or 4 members and almost simultaneously attacked hotels, railway stations, cafes, a Jewish establishment and even a police station where a very large number of casualties lay dead or wounded. Chabad, a known Jewish center was  attacked killing the Rabbi and members of his family, including several others.

 Fifteen (15) foreigners, including their children, among them Americans, British, French, Canadians and Japanese were fired upon and killed by the terrorists. Some eleven (11) of the militants were however killed by army commandos, nine (9) were allegedly captured, while the rest are still holed up in the huge Taj Mahal hotel trying evade death or capture.

 All the worst things appear to be happening in India and its bitter rival Pakistan, and the main source of trouble are the Muslim militants who bring their perverted ideology to an otherwise peaceful and democratic world. 

 In a largely Christian nation like the Philippines, ceding a portion of Philippine territory to form a separate state in the guise of an ' ancestral domain' is like putting a timebomb in the midst of an otherwise peaceful country. This separate state can be the launching pad of terrorists for attacks not only in the country but elsewhere.

 The Autonomous Region of  Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where the Muslims are given enough freedom to govern themselves, but still subject to Philippine government authority, is a worthy project of former Pres. Fidel Ramos. Allowing this to disintegrate in favor of a separate Muslim state, is not only dangerous and a culpable violation of the Constitution, but can be the start of all the worst things that can ever happen to this country. - from the Looking Glass, Sunday Post

Detonators in Hebei, China

The death toll has risen to eight after Saturday's explosion triggered by detonators illegally manufactured and stored at a residential building in north China's Hebei Province, local authorities said Monday. Five more bodies were retrieved while rescuers were clearing the debris in the city of Baoding, the city government said in a statement late Monday. Another 27 people are still under treatment in hospital, it added. Two suspects, a 38-year-old man surnamed Ge and his 42-year-old girlfriend, turned themselves in to police Monday noon in the eastern province of Anhui. Ge and two relatives started producing detonators in 2009. Due to poor sales, the three stored unsold detonators at a house of the six-storey building in Dongwuyao Village. The explosion that occurred Saturday afternoon toppled part of the building and also shattered the glass windows of buildings 200 meters away.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Fast Website Speed Affects Google Search Ranking

Over the course of 2009, a consistent theme that Google has been involved with is that of speed. In announcement after announcement, Google has talked about the importance of speed on the web, and how the company wants to do everything it can to make the web a faster place. Has it occurred to you that how fast your page loads may have a direct effect on how your site ranks in Google?  Don't worry, it hasn't had an impact...yet. In an interview with WebProNews , Google's Matt Cutts told us that speed may soon be a ranking factor.  "Historically, we haven't had to use it in our search rankings, but a lot of people within Google think that the web should be fast," says Cutts. "It should be a good experience, and so it's sort of fair to say that if you're a fast site, maybe you should get a little bit of a bonus. If you really have an awfully slow site, then maybe users don't want that as much." "I think a lot of people in 2010 are g...
