More muslim vs muslim mayhem and mass murder: Iraqis killed by chlorine bombs By Hugh Sykes BBC News, Baghdad There were at least three chlorine bomb attacks during February At least eight people have been killed and more than 85 injured in two chlorine gas attacks in Iraq. In Falluja, west of the capital Baghdad, suicide bombers driving tankers filled with chlorine targeted two separate locations. Most of the victims were from the first attack at the entrance to a housing estate. The injured included at least 27 children. There were at least three such attacks in Iraq in February. Easily obtained The second bomber is thought to have been targeting a tribal leader who has spoken out against al-Qaeda. If chlorine gas is inhaled it can cause severe burns to the throat and lungs and can quickly kill after only a few breaths. The chemical is easy to obtain. It is widely used as a cleaner and a water purifier. Attacks like this also greatly increase fear and anxiety. After an explosion outside a restaurant near Baghdad last month, as well as the six people killed, dozens of others were left coughing and choking and needing medical treatment. In February the United States military reported finding a bomb factory near Falluja at which chlorine car bombs were being constructed. In another attack near Falluja last month, not using chlorine, more than 35 people were killed when a conventional truck bomb exploded near a mosque where the imam had criticised al-Qaeda and Iraq. Some tribal leaders in the area have openly complained about al-Qaeda's activities. news.bbc.co.uk

Woman battles against the “forced” conversion of her children to Islam Her husband, recently converted to Islam, petitions Islamic Courts for divorce; his wife, a Muslim of Indian origin, wants their case heard before a civil court and asks for custody of their two children. asianews.it Kuala Lumpur (AsiaNews/Agencies) – A women of Indian origin, resident in Malaysia, is battling against the custody of her children being given to her husband, a recent convert to Islam, who has petitioned the Islamic Courts for divorce. According to Sharia Law, enforced in the country for Muslim citizens, in separation cases children are entrusted to the “better half” in other words the Islamic half, in this specific case to the husband; as a result Islam will become their religion. Muhammad Shafi Saravanan Abdullah converted to Islam May last. He petitioned an Islamic tribunal for divorce from his wife, R Subshini. The woman then turned to the Appeals Court in an attempt to have their case heard by a civil tribunal, but her petition was turned down. Thus it will be the first time that a non Muslim appears before an Islamic Court. Ms Subshini, 28, wants alimony from her husband and custody of their two children of 3 and 1 years of age. “Both want to dissolve their marriage – explains appeal court Judge Suryadi Halim Omar - but the appellant's [Ms Subshini's] objection, merely on the grounds that the Shariah Court was set up only for Muslims, made no sense”. The judge said it was Muhammad Shafi's right to annul his marriage in the Islamic court instead of the civil court. In fact in Malaysia there are two legislations: Islamic law and constitutional law which often enter into conflict with each other above all in family law cases. Ethnic minorities such as Chinese and Indians, fall under the jurisdiction of the civil courts.
