Truthout News In Brief
Democracy Now! reported a
claim by the Pakistani Taliban that they were responsible for the attempted
detonation of a bomb inside a van parked in Times Square. Meanwhile, a top
Pakistani official has speculated that the failed attack may have been
planned in retaliation for CIA drone strikes in Pakistan. “This is
retaliation. Let’s not be naive,” said Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah
Mehmood Qureshi in an interview with CBS News. “They’re not going to sort of
sit and welcome you to eliminate them. They’re going to fight back.”
But someone once said:
“Life is a mirror reflection of who we are inside”
And this is how we are going to relax at the end of the work day:
- Go grab a refreshing drink
Put our feetup
- And Say “ahhhhhh”
An urgent appeal for your support: 72 Hours to raise $25,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 72 hours to hit our $25,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
