Arrested soon after re-entering Afghanistan, he is now in prison in Khost Province.
"I had serious disputes with my parents on many issues and as time went by I felt I could not tolerate that, so I escaped and went to Miramshah. "After that the old man introduced me to a middle-aged man [Shawkat] and asked him to take me to a Madrasah [an Islamic school with free board and lodging]. "Shawkat took me to a house where about 26 other boys - some younger and some older than me - were housed. "Shawkat and two other men trained me how to use explosive vests.

A diplomatic source said the warning was issued based on a personal conversation between the two Arab men in the Hemingway bar in the Hiltonia Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The bar is frequented by hundreds of Britons and Americans. One drunk man told the other in jest: "If someone wants to scare all these people and make them run away, just say there is a bomb. UK says UAE terror risk is 'high&# British nationals in the United Arab Emirates have been warned there is now a high risk of a terror attack there.

Unlike neighbour Saudi Arabia, the UAE has had no major terrorism incidents. Expatriates make up a majority of the population of the oil-rich state, which consists of seven individual emirates, including the main ones Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Security awareness. Iran Says April 12 Blast at Shiraz Mosque Was Terrorism - New Yo. Two die in Nepal mosque bombing. Two people have been killed and at least one more injured after a mosque was bombed in Nepal's second biggest city, Biratnagar.
Reports say two men on a motorcycle hurled four bombs at the Choti mosque during evening prayers on Saturday. Three of the devices exploded, and two of the people who were seriously injured died on their way to hospital. A shadowy Hindu extremist group - the Nepal Defence Army - said in a statement it carried out the attack. The group first emerged more than a year ago, saying it was fighting to preserve Nepal's old status as a Hindu state. An indefinite curfew has been imposed in the district. Most of Nepal's small Muslim minority live in the southern plains, where Biratnagar is situated. For many months the region has seen ethnic tensions, with numerous antagonistic factions emerging. Nepal's monarchy is closely bound-up with Hinduism. Iraq bomb death toll reaches 344. The governor of the Sinjar region of north-western Iraq has said 344 people died in Tuesday's multiple bomb attacks against the minority Yazidi community.
He said another 400 people had been injured by the blasts and that he believed 70 others were still buried in the rubble of destroyed buildings. About 600 local residents had been made homeless, the governor added. The attacks on the two Yazidi villages near Sinjar were among the deadliest in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. Elsewhere, the US military in Iraq said it had killed 13 suspected insurgents and one civilian in a clash near the town of Tarmiya, north of Baghdad.
