COLIN POWELL IN NEW DELHI(4:18)
After a brief visit with Pakistani President Pervez
Musharraf, US Secretary of State Colin Powell today
arrived in India today with the message that there must
be dialogue between India and Pakistan, particularly on
the issue of Kashmir. Powell?s visit comes as tensions
along the India-Pakistan border have risen dramatically,
with India?s amred forces shelling Pakistani
positions.India has stressed that US must go beyond
Afghanistan in its efforts against terrorism and turn its
attention to what it considers Pakistani-backed terror in
Kashmir.Sputnik Kilambi is in New Delhi with this report.
WHAT ROLE WILL U.S. SPECIAL FORCES PLAY IN AFGHANISTAN?
(3:53)
Today marked the first acknowledged use of U.S. Special
Forces in Afghanistan, as an AC-130 helicopter gunship
attacked a Taliban stronghold in Kandahar.In spite of
President Bush Adminsitration insistence that Special
Forces would be used in a later phase of the attacks in
Afghanistan, speculation has been rife for weeks that
they are already on the ground there.Free Speech Radio
News reporter Max Pringle asked experts on security and
the region what role the Special Forces could play ? or
may already be playing ? in Afghanistan.
POLITICS AND REPRESSION IN TURKEY (3:41)
The so-called "war on terrorism" has drawn US attention
to the politics of the Islamic world.Turkey, a NATO
member and aspirant to membership in the European Union,
is often heralded as a model for Muslim countries as a
stable democracy with moderate policies. Today, Turkish
President Ahmet Sezer signed into law a set of thirty-
four amendments to the Turkish constitution to expand
civil liberties.But as Free Speech Radio News' James
Smoot reports, basic civil liberties are routinely denied
in Turkey.
U.S. CIVIL LIBERTIES UNDER THE ANTI-TERROR REGIME(3:18)
Last week, the House and Senate passed slightly different
version of legislation aimed at expanding federal police
powers for anti-terrorism efforts.Congress is now forming
a conference committee to create a compromise bill, but
civil libertartarians believe their fears about the new
legislation are becoming reality even before its
passage.They say that the sweeping federal investigations
led by Attorney General John Ashcroft, have already gone
beyond the limits of current law in detaining suspects
and carrying out surveillance.Kata Mester reports from
Washington, DC.
BIN-LADEN TO THE HAGUE?(3:28)
Almost immediately after the attacks on September 11th,
calls began for prime suspect Osama Bin-Laden to be
brought to justice.U.S. President George W. Bush said bin-
Laden should be taken "dead or alive," but there have
been other voices contending that bin-Laden should be
brought to trial in the same way former President of
Yugoslavia Sllobodan Milosevic has been:in front of the
International Criminal Tribunal.Geraldine Coughlan is in
the Hague and files this report on the possibilities of
such a trial.
