terrorism bill
NEW DELHI, India (AP) — Lawmaker
India approved an anti-terrorism bill Tuesday
a day of heated debate in a highly unusual
session of Parliament, only the third since
country’s independence.
The government said the legislation is crucial
the September 1 1 terrorist attacks in the United
and a Dec. 13 attack on the Indian Parliament.
“We cannot score a decisive victory against
rorism unless a special law of this kind isenai
said interior minister Lai Krishna Advaniashe
sented the bill.
Opponents denounced the bill as an draconia
tailment of civil rights and voiced fears the Hfte Aggies hit
nationalist-led government would use the laws;
tively against Muslims and political rivals.
The Prevention of Terrorism bill allows poll
detain suspects for questioning for three months
out bringing charges against them and an addii
three months with approval from a special coutt
bill also allows anyone suspected of giving im
shelter, transportation or other support to terror:
be tried on terrorism charges.
It provides punishments ranging from a
five years in prison to death.
The government says the law will be effs
against Islamic separatists in Jammu-Kashmir.to
only Muslim majority state. India blames the mi
for the attack on Parliament and says they were
by Pakistan. The tension has led to a perilous mi
standoff between the two nuclear rivals.

‘Body piercing saved my life."
Not a pierced ear, nose, navel or tongue ... but pierced hands and feet. And not as a fashion
statement ... but as a sacrifice for you and me. Nearly 2000 years ago,
Jesus Christ was brutally nailed to a cross-crucified. Why did he suffer?
Why did he die such a cruel death? So we wouldn’t have to. Because he loves us.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
And by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 (New International Version)
And now here’s the real good news: he’s alive today! God is reaching out to people through His son, Jesus Christ.

Afghanistan quake
registers 5.9, lolls 1
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)
— An earthquake devastated
mountain villages in Northern
Afghanistan, where officials on
Tuesday estimated at least
1,800 people died and thou
sands more were injured in a
region already hard-hit by
hunger, drought and war.
At the scene, the military
commander from the Baglan
region said the Monday night
quake collapsed 20,000 mud-
brick houses. Gen. Haider Kahn
estimated between 600 and 1,000
people remained trapped and said
the death toll could hit 2,000.
Yusuf Nuristani, a government
spokesperson, told reporters in
Kabul that the death toll had
reached 1,800 by Tuesday after
noon with 2,000 injured. Kabul
television later reported 5,000
hurt. In Geneva, U.N. spokesper
son Elisabeth Byrs said Afghan
authorities had initially reported
the death toll could reach 4,800.
Aid agencies said thousands
— perhaps tens of thousands —
were homeless, as aftershocks
continued to jolt the majestic
Hindu Kush mountains that
tower above Kabul and separate
the capital from the extreme
North of the country.
There were fears of land
slides as the earth continued to
heave after the Monday night
quake, which was centered
about 105 miles north of Kabul.
No Americans or foreigners
were known to be among the
missing or dead. Brig. Gen.
John Rosa Jr. told a Pentagon
briefing that no coalition forces
were hurt by the quake.
The old part of Nahrin town
was leveled and some 40 other
villages on Nahrin plain were
affected, prompting aid groups
to gear up to provide shelter for
6,000 to 7,000 families in that
area alone, U.N. spokesperson
