Russian mafia, remains mafia in Russia or Israel – Avigdor Lieberman: Hard-right Israeli minister’s fate in balance after aides arrested for fraud – Middle East – World – The Independent

Police believe Ms Kirshenbaum, like Mr Lieberman an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, is the key player in suspected misuse of government funds in exchange for kickbacks and appointments tainted by nepotism. Other allegations against members of Mr Lieberman’s party include,  disrupting the police investigation and destroying documents. Others have been arrested for fixing tenders and receiving bribes. Mr Lieberman, who has a long history of fighting corruption charges, has not been implicated in this scandal.

Yisrael Beiteinu issued a statement saying it is confident in the innocence of the suspects and claiming that the arrests and investigations are aimed at subverting its electoral prospects. It also that said police had publicised investigations during previous campaigns. “The fact that this was done once again during elections points to the intention to damage Yisrael Beiteinu,’’ it said.

*We think that it is necessary for one of us to die so that Galeano lives. 

Marcos becomes Galeano Marcos becomes Galeano

To satisfy the impertinence that is death, in place of Galeano we put another name, so that Galeano lives and death takes not a life but just a name – a few letters empty of any meaning, without their own history or life. That is why we have decided that Marcos ceases to exist today.

And death will go away, fooled by an indigenous man whose nom de guerre was Galeano, and those rocks that have been placed on his tomb will once again walk and teach whoever will listen the most basic tenet of Zapatismo: that is, don’t sell out, don’t give in and don’t give up.

Given the above, at 2:08am on May 25, 2014, from the southeast combat front of…

Arsonist sets fire to Swedish mosque, injuring five – Europe – World – The Independent

An arsonist set fire to a mosque in the Swedish town of Eskilstuna on Thursday, injuring five people, police said, an incident which comes amid an intense debate over immigration.

The immigration debate has pitted the far right, which wants to cut the number of asylum seekers allowed into Sweden by 90 percent, against mainstream parties intent on preserving the Nordic country’s liberal policy.

Between 15 and 20 people were in the mosque, located in the ground floor of a building in a mainly residential area, when the fire erupted. Local media footage showed smoke and flames billowing from the windows.

“A witness saw somebody throw an object through the window of the building, which serves as a mosque, after which a violent fire began,” police spokesman Lars Franzell said.
