Comanchero boss struck rival Hells Angel

COMANCHERO boss Mick Hawi was seen attacking the brother of a rival bikie three times with a metal bollard during a fatal brawl at Sydney airport, police will claim.

It has also been alleged that Hawi was seen making a “verbal threat” to Peter Zervas from the Hells Angels - and the brother of Anthony Zervas, who died in the violence – as he fled the scene.

The evidence emerged as Hawi, one of six Comanchero arrested after the melee, applied for bail in a Sydney court.

The court heard how a witness has told police of seeing Hawi “wielding a bollard and hitting Mr Anthony Zervas" while he was lying on the ground, three times above his waist.

Another witness has also told of seeing Hawi “bent at the waist” near the same man on the ground, and once he moved away “this witness noticed that there was blood on the ground in the area of the man’s head.”

The pregnant wife of Hawi was in court today to give evidence to help plead for her husband's freedom.

However, she was not called before proceedings ended this afternoon.

Hawi and five other Comanchero members are charged with affray following the attack.

Hawi, 28, of Bexley, has been in custody on a charge of affray since his arrest on April 6.

The charge stems from a March 22 brawl at Sydney airport that resulted in the death of 29-year-old Anthony Zervas, whose brother Peter is a Hells Angel.

Hawi's lawyer John Korn has argued the affray charge relates only to an incident that occurred shortly after Hawi and his associates disembarked a flight, and not the subsequent brawl that killed Mr Zervas.

But police also allege Hawi held Mr Zervas down while he was hit in the head with a bollard. "You can't ask for bail to be refused by putting before a court material on which he has not been charged,'' Mr Korn told Sydney's Central Local Court today.

"To strike someone with a metal bollard ... and cause a pool of blood about the size of a plate to come from a victim's face - it doesn't take much to understand that's capable of becoming another charge.''

Magistrate David Armati said the injuries Mr Zervas suffered, and his subsequent death, should be considered as part of Hawi's bail application.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) will provide 170 witness statements to Hawi's legal team on Tuesday, May 5, with an unknown number of statements still outstanding.

The DPP continues to oppose bail for Hawi, but Mr Korn urged the court to consider bail options such as Hawi being placed under house arrest at his Bexley home.

Islamic Sociopaths Inc.Afghanistan Father regains Honour by Killing Daughter & Boyfriend

Afghani kills daughter, boyfriend

AN Afghan man shot dead his adult daughter and her boyfriend, who were both engaged to other people, after finding them in bed together, police said overnight.

The first cousins were found together on Wednesday after the 21-year-old man entered the 20-year-old woman's bedroom in the northern province of Baghlan, a police spokesman said.

"The two were under the blanket, but still in their clothes, when the girl's angry father walked in with an AK-47 machine gun and shot them both dead," spokesman Jawaid Basharat said.

A medical examination showed the pair had not had sex, he said.

He fired about six bullets into the man and four into his daughter, Mr Basharat said.

"The father confessed that he killed them both after he found them in bed," said provincial police chief Abdul Rehmand Sayedkhaili.

The motive for the murders was likely to protect family "honour". Similar killings are common in rural Afghanistan but rarely reported.

Islam and Afghan culture do not forbid marriage between first cousins but invoke severe punishment, including death, for adultery and extra-marital sex.

Islam must be respected, after all it IS a "Religion of Peace" and indeed one of the "Worlds Great Religions"

Islam IS what Islam DOES

Dubai deports rude Aussie driver after he flipped the bird

IT was a gesture many Australians have been guilty of making at the end of a long, frustrating day.

But "flipping the bird" to another driver landed Australian nurse Darren O'Mullane 24 days in jail and a life ban from the United Arab Emirates.

Mr O'Mullane was deported from Dubai last Thursday after being convicted of making a rude gesture to another motorist, who happened to be a UAE official,last October.

Now he is back living at his parents' North Coast home.

He told The Daily Telegraph yesterday his wife Marie had been forced to leave her job in Dubai, along with the couple's home, cars and pet cat, following his sentence.

While he admitted he had done the wrong thing, Mr O'Mullane said he had been tired and stressed out after a 13-hour shift in the intensive care unit of Dubai's American Hospital.

"We'd had a local Emirate man suffering alcohol withdrawal who was aggressive and violent and a schizophrenic woman who was in quite a bad state when she arrived," he said.

"I just wanted to get home and there was a clown in front of me who was all over the road, talking on his mobile and I ended up having to overtake him to get past him. Out of frustration I flipped him the bird. I know it was wrong but it was completely impulsive. I was just like, 'You idiot'."

Mr O'Mullane said the other driver then tailgated him, overtook his car, slammed on his brakes and followed him to his apartment where a short altercation took place, with the other driver then reporting him to police.

Despite making a full confession and offering several apologies to the Dubai man, he spent 24 days in jail and was then immediately deported.

Mr O'Mullane said he engaged a lawyer to appeal against the sentence, but was unsuccessful. He and his wife approached the Australian consulate but were told staff "could not be seen to be showing bias" by helping him.

Mr O'Mullane said his experience was a warning to other Australians to be vigilant overseas, especially in countries ruled under Sharia law.

"I don't want anyone to go through what my wife and I have been through," he said.

"They make up the rules as they go along. People are being imprisoned for crazy things like kissing in public - the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

"It's just not safe there."

Rudds Australia: Digger eaten alive by MICE in Nursing Home

'He was being eaten alive'

Queensland Health has rostered on extra staff to conduct pest control at a Darling Downs hospital after an 89-year-old nursing home resident had his ears gnawed by mice.

The LNP member for Condamine, Ray Hopper, raised the alarm yesterday after staff at Dalby Hospital's nursing home, Karingal, found the man covered in blood on Anzac Day.

The man, a war veteran, was in a distressed state and had injuries from severe mouse bites, Mr Hopper told brisbanetimes.com.au.

"I'm told by his daughter that the poor old fellow [had] been trying to brush the mice away as they continued chewing his ears, head and neck," Mr Hopper said.

"He was so stressed that doctors put him on morphine to calm him down. He nearly died on Saturday night. He was being eaten alive."

A Queensland Health spokeswoman told brisbanetimes.com.au this morning that extra staff had been rostered on at the nursing home to deal with the infestation and mouse traps were being set.

Mr Hopper said he had written to Health Minister Paul Lucas over the incident and demanded the Environmental Protection Agency begin pest control urgently.

"I'm told there's a hold-up in getting approval from the Government's Environmental agency for poison to be used on land adjoining the hospital.

"Mice plagues are a fact of life for the Darling Downs and we need to be able to control them with whatever we can … traps and poisons ... and we don't need to be denied access to effective poisons because some bureaucrats at head office are sitting on their hands.

"Patients being bitten by mice is unacceptable … it's worse than Third World and the minister needs to stop the nonsense that poisoning is not an option."

Federal Ageing Minister Justine Elliot could not be contacted for comment, but earlier told the ABC she would consider evacuating the facility if pest control measures were not effective.

"There has been action taken in terms of the eradication measures that are in place - we are closely monitoring it," she said.

"If we ever do find a situation where we do find it's required to evacuate people, we do that very, very swiftly - that's our main concern but we are closely monitoring the situation."

Mr Hopper described the situation at Karingal as "disgusting".

"It's absolutely pathetic, while the Premier is using the Mexican pig flu as another media opportunity, no one wants to do anything to protect sick people from disease-carrying vermin in a local hospital, or nursing home,'' he said.

The Australian Labor Party led by Prime Minister / Dear Leader, Kevin Rudd is maintaining it's appalling treatment of serving and returned service men, if they are not white anting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan they are feeding WW2 Veterans to Mice.

Our Troops in Afghanistan are been fed SLOPS whilst our Dear Leader demands three course meals for a 30 minute plane ride between Sydney and Canberra.

This Australian WW2 Veteran,eaten alive by Mice in is bed was NOT an illegal immigrant.

Dear Leaders priorities:

Rudds Australia: Illegal Immigrants reach Paradise and Australian taxpayers will PAY

Pauline dudded of urgent treatment

Rudd's Australia: More illegals arrive at Barrow Island

Australia's Dear Leader can always find taxpayers money for what he and his supporters describe as "Australia's international responsibilities"... pity he and they have no sense of responsibility towards Australians.

Kevin Rudd blows up over special VIP jet meal

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd was forced to apologise mid-flight to an RAAF cabin attendant on a VIP jet after he berated her because his "special" meal went missing.

The 23-year-old air force staffer wept and reported the matter to the senior cabin attendant after Mr Rudd reacted "strongly" when told his meal request could not be met.

An official report was filed by 84 Wing and the VIP Fleet Group commander Captain Peter Wood, detailing the behaviour of "VIP No. 1", Mr Rudd.

"The crew were distressed but later in-flight apologies were made by all," the report said.

The attendant later composed herself and continued with the service.

Trim and terrific: Mrs Rudd looking good for the G20 summit

The incident occurred as Mr Rudd, Treasurer Wayne Swan and other senior officials boarded the VIP jet to Canberra after attending the Pacific Islands Forum in Port Moresby in January. Mr Rudd has been losing weight and is on a non-red meat and fruit-only for dessert diet.

According to the report, cabin crew on board the taxpayer-funded Boeing 737 VIP aircraft from the RAAF's number 34 Squadron were not even aware of the meal request that caused the blow up.


Australian Diggers fighting diet of tasteless gruel

AUSTRALIAN Diggers risking all on the deadly battlefields of Afghanistan are fighting on a diet of tasteless gruel.

Soldiers bombarded Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon with complaints when he made a secret Anzac Day visit to Oruzgan Province on Friday, prompting him

to pledge to fix the problem.

Senior officers have conceded the poor diet is affecting morale and soldiers' health, and have ordered a study into the nutritional value of the food.

The Herald Sun took the taste test on Friday at the Dutch-run mess at Tarin Kowt military base after learning of complaints about food quality.

The tasteless slab of roast pork was submerged in a sea of equally flavour-challenged gravy, and the pumpkin had long since morphed from a solid vegetable

to liquid gruel.

The other choice was an equally inedible turkey slice.

As Diggers from the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force confront a limited daily diet, just up the road their comrades from the Special Operations Task

Group (SOTG) enjoy fresh vegetables and quality cooking.

The difference was obvious at an Anzac Day breakfast hosted by SOTG, as our exclusive images show.

Mr Fitzgibbon heard plenty of complaints about the food and vowed to act.

Numerous soldiers and senior officers told him the "kings versus paupers" attitude was divisive and unfair.

Special forces troops eat in a mess that is financed and run separately from the normal army channels.

The "special" mess employs qualified cooks and uses only fresh ingredients.

For the troops of the MRTF, it is Dutch gruel or a hamburger.

The issue is bigger than just the Diggers complaining to their partners at home.

Commanding officer Lt-Col Shane Gabriel said the difference in food had affected both nutrition and morale.

He has commissioned a study into the nutritional value of the MRTF food.

The SOTG runs its own tight supply lines and team of cooks, while the Dutch mess runs at half capacity and is forced to import prepared meals.

After several complaints back home, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Defence Force chiefs are also now involved and want the problem fixed.

Saudi Arabia: 8 year Old Girl granted divorce from 50 year old man

Girl, 8, granted divorce - report

News.com.au
April 30, 2009 07:40pm

AN eight-year-old Saudi girl who was sold into marriage by her father has been given a divorce after an international outcry over the case, Saudi media reports.

The marriage of the girl to a man reportedly in his 50s was annulled on Wednesday in out-of-court settlement overseen by a new judge in the city of Onaiza, after the original judge in the case refused to bend to pressure to grant the divorce, several newspapers reported.

Riyadh newspaper said the settlement was reached after the intervention in the case by an unidentified "important personality".

The girl's father had sold her last year to the man in exchange for a dowry.

When her mother found out, she petitioned the court for a divorce for the girl.

The judge twice rejected her case - though he stipulated that the marriage could only be consummated after the girl attained puberty.

An appeals court sent the case back to the judge suggesting he reconsider, but he ruled again last week against divorce.

The case garnered strong criticism from international rights groups and foreign diplomats raised the issue quietly with the Saudi government, according to AFP sources.

UN Children's Fund executive director Anne Veneman said earlier this month that the child's rights were being violated.

"UNICEF joins many in voicing concern that child marriage contravenes accepted international standards of human rights," she said.

You see it IS one of the worlds "Great Religions" not only can an eight year old girl be SOLD to a 50 year old man, It also allows their mothers to petition the Court against it if they find out about the sale,and the civilized world has the opportunity to protest about it, so hey what was all the fuss about?

Dutch Royal Family in "Car attack"

BBC
1 5 09

A car has crashed into a crowd watching a parade involving Dutch Queen Beatrix and her family, killing four people and seriously injuring several others.

The car eventually careered into a monument, narrowly missing an open-topped bus carrying the royals.

No members of the royal family were hurt in the incident, in Apeldoorn, about 90km (56 miles) from Amsterdam.

Dutch officials said the driver, who was seriously hurt in the crash, appeared to have acted deliberately.

But after searching the car and his home, investigators have ruled out terrorism as a motive.

They have not named the man, but said he was a Dutch national aged 38.

Apeldoorn mayor Fred de Graaf told a news conference that four people had been killed in the incident and 13 injured - five of them seriously.

'Royal shock'

Cynthia Boll, a photographer at the scene, told the BBC the car was already badly damaged before it slammed into the crowds at high speed.

"There were people everywhere, you could definitely see that it was serious because everywhere was blood and shoes ripped off and all the people giving CPR," she said.

The crowds were celebrating Queen's Day - a national holiday in the Netherlands when thousands of people take to the streets to mark the queen's official birthday.

Officials said flags are at half mast on government buildings across the country and all planned celebrations have been called off.

Witnesses said the streets of Apeldoorn are now empty.

In a statement from the royal family, the queen gave her condolences to the victims of the crash.

"Her majesty the queen, on behalf of other members of the royal family, expresses her shock at the incident," the statement said.
