Reuters Iraq bureau chief threatened, denounced over story Posted: 11 Apr 2015 10:00 AM PDT The Baghdad bureau chief for Reuters has left Iraq after he was threatened on Facebook and denounced by a Shi'ite paramilitary group's satellite news channel in reaction to a Reuters report last week that detailed lynching and looting in the city of Tikrit. The threats against journalist Ned Parker began on an Iraqi Facebook page run by a group that calls itself "the Hammer" and is believed by an Iraqi security source to be linked to armed Shi'ite groups. The April 5 post and subsequent comments demanded he be expelled from Iraq. One commenter said that killing Parker was "the best way to silence him, not kick him out." Three days later, a news show on Al-Ahd, a television station owned by Iranian-backed armed group Asaib Ahl al-Haq, broadcast a segment on Parker that included a photo of him. |

Top Asian News at 11:30 p.m. GMT Posted: 11 Apr 2015 04:32 PM PDT QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Gunmen in restive southwestern Pakistan shot and killed at least 20 workers early Saturday at a dam construction site, the deadliest recent attack targeting civilians in a region facing a low-level insurgency, authorities said. The violence targeted the Gobdan area of the Turbat district in southwestern Baluchistan province, a region where nationalist and separatist Baluch groups have fought against the Islamabad-based government for years. However, no group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in Pakistan, a country that faces a deadly Taliban insurgency and threats from other Islamic extremists. |

Obama says Castro meeting could be turning point in U.S.-Cuba ties Posted: 11 Apr 2015 04:10 PM PDT U.S. President Barack Obama said on Saturday his historic meeting with Cuban President Raul Castro could be a "turning point" as the two former Cold War foes seek to restore full diplomatic relations. Obama met with Castro earlier on Saturday in the highest-level talks between the two countries in almost 60 years. He told reporters at a summit meeting in Panama that the U.S. and Cuban governments will continue to have differences, and that he will push Cuba on issues of democracy and human rights, but that they can advance their mutual interests. He also said his dramatic changes to U.S. policy on Cuba in the last four months have majority support among Americans and the overwhelming support of Cubans. |

Obama to decide on Cuba terrorism designation in days: U.S. official Posted: 11 Apr 2015 02:56 PM PDT U.S. President Barack Obama will decide in the coming days if Cuba will be removed from a list of states that sponsor terrorism, a senior U.S. official said on Saturday, which would remove a hurdle to restoring diplomatic relations. Obama met Cuban President Raul Castro on Saturday in the highest-level talks between the two countries in more than 50 years. Cuba has said it must be removed from the list in order to move forward on Obama's push to reestablish diplomatic relations between the United States and the communist-run island. |
