Death, terror in N. Korea gulag msnbc.msn.com The system appears to draw no distinction between those accused of the crime and their family members. Soon Ok Lee, imprisoned for seven years at a camp near Kaechon in Pyungbuk province, described how the female relatives of male prisoners were treated. “I was in prison from 1987 till January 1993,” she told NBC News in Seoul, where she now lives. ”[The women] were forced to abort their children. They put salty water into the pregnant women’s womb with a large syringe, in order to kill the baby even when the woman was 8 months or 9 months pregnant. “And then, from time to time there a living infant is delivered. And then if someone delivers a live infant, then the guards kick the bloody baby and kill it. And I saw an infant who was crying with pain. I have to express this in words, that I witnessed such an inhumane hell.”

Fiery Hot Ice Cream Lives Up To 'Cold Sweat' Name The Indy Channel ^ \| July 5, 2006 \| AP ANGIER, N.C. -- Cold Sweat ice cream is hot. In fact, it's so hot customers at Sunni Sky's ice cream shop in Angier, N.C., have to sign a waiver stating that they’ve been warned. Sunni Sky's makes its Cold Sweat-flavor treats with milk, sugar, three kinds of pepper and two kinds of hot sauce. It's so spicy that just touching it makes your fingers feel hot, according to the News and Observer. The waiver for the fiery mixture has dozens of signatures. Pregnant women and people with health problems are not supposed to eat it. Anyone younger than 18 needs the consent of a guardian. The shop's owner, Scott Wilson, started out experimenting with jalapenos in vanilla ice cream to appeal to Hispanic customers. That didn't catch on, but Wilson kept going and worked his way up to Cold Sweat. The final version of the fiery treat contains a blend of Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce and Blair's Megadeath Hot Sauce, a secret ingredient, chili peppers, habaneros and Thai chilis. Among the first to try Cold Sweat was Justin Smith, a woodworker. The 22-year-old went to the restroom and vomited after a spoonful. But, he's had about five samples since, and wants to go for the record of 14 ounces in a sitting.

Israeli citizens are killed by the busload, a soldier is even now being held captive under threat of death, and the UN wants us to worry about some bed-wetters???? UN: Gaza children wetting their beds July 5, 2006 \| Ali Waked ynetnews.com Residents of Gaza vicinity communities are not the only ones suffering from anxiety; UN aid agencies fear shortage of food, medications and water pollution in PA territories Who is paying the price for the Gaza operation? While the residents of Sderot, Ashkelon and the Gaza vicinity communities and kibbutzim are suffering from ongoing rocket fire and unstoppable sounds of war around them, Gaza Strip children are also suffering. Workers of aid organizations in the Strip reported that food and fuel are being stocked. Damien Personnaz of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reported that fear among children and parents in the Strip is increasing. He also said that the organization's workers are assisting many Palestinian families suffering from tension and anxiety in light of the large-scale operation in the Strip, adding that many children aged six and less have began wetting their beds due to the tense situation. The UN has asked Israel to leave the crossing to the Strip open to enable delivery of medications and food to the Strip residents. The Palestinians reported that approximately 4,000 Palestinians have been stuck in the Rafah crossing for 10 days now without being able to leave or enter the Strip. The Palestinians fear that the crossing will remain closed for a long time as Israel has built a base for its forces in the southern Strip, mainly in the Dahaniya Airport area. The Palestinians noted that many of those stuck on the Egyptian side of the border are in fact patients who left the Strip to be treated in Egyptian hospitals and are now unable to leave. Palestinian medical sources, as well as the Physicians for Human Rights organization, reported that Israel was preventing many patients from leaving to the West Bank, into Israel and Egypt. The patients are mainly people who suffered from heart attacks and leukemia and other patients in need of urgent surgery. Mattias Burchard, spokesman for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), reported that the IDF operation in the Strip has extremely deteriorated the Palestinians' situation. He said that the residents still have access to food and medications, but that there is a difficulty to deliver additional products into Gaza due to the closing of the crossing. UN Human Rights Council to hold special discussion Israel closed the crossing following the combined attack carried out by armed Palestinians on June 25, an attack during which IDF soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped and two other soldiers were killed . On Tuesday, the Red Crossed was permitted to make a delivery of food and medications into the Strip through the Karni crossing, for the first time since the closure was imposed. UNWRA fears water pollution in the Strip following the long electricity blackouts, which prevent Palestinians from pumping water and getting them to reach apartments in tall buildings. The organization is providing the residents with chlorine to purify the water, but it is uncertain how long it will last. The UN also fears pollution that may spread from the sewage in the streets. The UN Human Rights Council is expected to hold a special discussion on the Palestinians situation in the territories on Wednesday. The UN also reported that its workers are holding talks with Israeli officials to ensure that humanitarian aids will reach the Strip in spite of the closure. The World Health Organization also reported that its workers are exerting efforts to assist the Palestinians and have asked them for a detailed list of medications they require. Palestinians reported that IDF soldiers raided several houses in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun and forces hundreds of residents to stay in their homes. The IDF did not confirm the report. Palestinian sources reported that Hamas gunmen are exchanging fire with IDF soldiers in the Beit Hanoun area. According to the report, the gunmen also fired mortar shells at the forces. News agencies contributed to the report
