EX-SPYMASTER CLAIMS PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT HANDED BIN LADEN OVER TO US, GETS TRAVEL BAN.

Karachi, PAKISTAN:

Bin Laden, one of the world's most wanted terrorists, was killed during an elaborate operation in 2011 that provoked widespread resentment in Pakistan. Islamabad has claimed it didn't know about the operation due to an intelligence failure, while the Pakistani army has called the operation a "misadventure."

Pakistani authorities have started an investigation into an ex-chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lt. General Asad Durrani and prohibited him from leaving the country for co-authoring a book with an Indian counterpart, in which he suggested Pakistan's government knew about the Bin Laden raid.

"A formal Court of Inquiry headed by a serving Lt. Gen. has been ordered to probe the matter in detail,"
The Pakistani army said in a statement.

Lieutenant General Mohammad Asad Durrani is a retired 3-star rank general in the Pakistan Army and presently an intelligence commentator.

According to Durrani's recently published book, "Spy chronicles," the ISI probably knew about Osama bin Laden, who the author suggests was "handed over to the United States according to a mutually agreed process."
This statement conflicts with the official stance of Islamabad. Pakistani authorities regard the operation by the US forces to be "an unauthorized unilateral action," a sign of hostility and a violation of the country's sovereignty.

"The denial of any (Pakistani) role was because cooperating with the United States to eliminate a person regarded by many in Pakistan as a "hero" could have embarrassed the government," Durrani said in the book.

Osama bin Laden, the infamous terrorist mastermind, and leader of the terrorist group al-Qaeda was assassinated by a US special forces team on May 2, 2011, in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad.

NAMIBIA VOWS TO GRAB FARMS FROM WHITE FARMERS.

Okahandja, NAMIBIA: Vibrant rows of neatly lined plants grow on a patch once trampled by the cattle of a large commercial farm run by a family of German descent in Namibia. From that 2,400 square-meter rectangle of sand in the northern Otjozondjupa region, Kornelius Hamasab, 69, now produces spinach, onions and tomatoes. Hamasab is among the 16 percent of black Namibians owning arable land in the semi-desert southwest African nation. White Namibians, who are descended from former colonizers Germany and South Africa and make up six percent of the population, own 70 percent of the land. "It doesn't seem right to me," said Hamasab, who acquired his land as compensation five years after the farm downsized into a guesthouse in 2000 and laid off its staff. "The government should do something about it," he added, while his family picked and rinsed collared greens to be sold in the capital Windhoek, 150 kilometers away. Namibia adopted ...

MALARIA VACCINE PROVES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN BURKINA FASO.

A vaccine against malaria has been shown to be highly effective in trials in Africa, holding out the real possibility of slashing the death toll of a disease that kills 400,000 mostly small children every year. The vaccine, developed by scientists at the Jenner Institute of Oxford University, showed up to 77% efficacy in a trial of 450 children in Burkina Faso over 12 months. The hunt for a malaria vaccine has been going on the best part of a century. One, the Mosquirix vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, has been through lengthy clinical trials but is only partially effective, preventing 39% of malaria cases and 29% of severe malaria cases among small children in Africa over four years. It is being piloted by the World Health Organization in parts of Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. The Oxford vaccine is the first to meet the WHO goal of 75% efficacy against the mosquito-borne parasite disease. Larger trials are now beginning, involving 4,800 children in four countries.

Utah, U.S: A Utah dad received a call from his son’s school last Friday about a substitute teacher’s behavior toward his child. Because the school was about to enter Thanksgiving break, the teacher asked the Cedar Hills fifth-grade students to share what made them grateful, according to the parent. The children started sharing what they were most grateful for. When it was 11-year-old D.M.’s turn, he said he was grateful to finally be adopted by his two dads, Louis and Joshua van Amstel.
