That is unbelievable.....and yet I do not see it in the news! If that had been Christians pelting the woman with rocks, I think it is fair to say that we would have heard about it by now. Bono shocked by Muslim women's reaction to breastfeeding 15/06/2005 - 17:35:52 U2 frontman Bono was horrified during a visit to Ethiopia, when he saw local women pelting a breast-feeding aid worker with stones. The American woman was oblivious of the offence she was causing, and had to escape the angry onslaught from female Muslims who had no qualms about injuring her or her baby. Bono recalls: "I remember one vision of the people who are with World Vision, which is an American aid agency. "One of the women was breast-feeding a child on the horse. She was so comfortable. She didn't mean to be insensitive. "But the Muslim women did not like this and came out and started throwing stones at her because she was showing her breasts."

U.S. military: Al Qaeda leader in Mosul captured Abu Talha 'surrendered without a fight' Thursday, June 16, 2005 Posted: 9:42 AM EDT (1342 GMT) BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military on Thursday reported the capture of a man described as al Qaeda's leader in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Air Force Brig. Gen. Donald Alston identified him as Abu Talha -- whose actual name is Muhammad Khalaf Shakar -- and said he was captured on Tuesday. "Talha has been one of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's most trusted operations agents in Iraq," Alston said. "This is a major defeat for the al Qaeda organization in Iraq." "Numerous reports indicated he wore a suicide vest 24 hours a day and stated that he would never surrender. Instead, Talha gave up without a fight," Alston said. Talha surrendered to multinational forces in a quiet neighborhood in Mosul, Alston said, after information from Iraqi civilians contributed to his capture. Civilians providing such information indicates they are taking steps against the "increasingly unpopular insurgency," he said. Jordanian-born al-Zarqawi, wanted by U.S.-led forces for terrorist attacks in Iraq, pledged his allegiance to Osama bin Laden in October. The United States has put a $25 million bounty on al-Zarqawi's capture or death.
