• Slideshow: Top war crimes fugitive Radovan Karadzic arrested

BELGRADE, Serbia - A judge finished interrogating former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic early Tuesday, triggering a procedure to hand over the accused mastermind of Europe's worst massacre since World War II to a U.N. war crimes tribunal.

Karadzic, a psychiatrist turned die-hard Serbian nationalist politician, was arrested by Serbian forces and taken before the country's war crimes court on Monday, indicating imminent extradition to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

"The questioning is over," investigating judge Milan Dilparic said Tuesday, referring to the first step in a legal process that includes presenting Karadzic with the indictment and allowing three days for him to appeal any decision to extradite him.

While Serbia braced for a possible reaction from ultra-nationalists who are believed to have helped shelter Karadzic over the years, Bosnian Muslims jammed the streets of Sarajevo early Tuesday in celebration of the arrest.

Karadzic is charged with masterminding the deadly siege of Sarajevo and mass killings that the U.N. war crimes tribunal described as "scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history." They include the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica, Europe's worst slaughter since World War II.

Tribunal officials still had no clear idea Tuesday morning when he would be transferred. If a court approves Karadzic's extradition, he can still appeal and that could hold up his transfer for days or even weeks.

"We simply have no details," about a possible transfer timetable, prosecution spokeswoman Olga Karvan said. "We expect him soon."

Karadzic would be the 44th Serb suspect handed over to the U.N. tribunal. If that happened, he would live in the same block in which his political mentor, former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, died in 2006 while on trial for genocide.

Karadzic's alleged partner in the persecution and "cleansing" of tens of thousands of Bosnian Muslims and Croats, former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic, remains at large.

Serbia has been under increasing international pressure to find Karadzic and turn him over. Still, his arrest came as a surprise to many. His whereabouts had been a mystery to U.N. war crimes prosecutors unlike those of Mladic, who had last been spotted living in Belgrade in 2005.

Serbian President Boris Tadic's office said Karadzic, 63, was arrested "in an action by the Serbian security services."

A Serbian police source, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to talk to the media, said Karadzic was seized in raid in a Belgrade suburb after weeks of surveillance of his safe house and a tip from a foreign intelligence service.

But Karadzic's attorney said the arrest occurred Friday on a bus. "He just said that these people showed him a police badge and than he was taken to some place and kept in the room. And that is absolutely against the law what they did," Sveta Vujacic told AP Television News.

Heavily armed special forces were deployed around the court in Belgrade as dozens of Karadzic supporters gathered nearby. Several were arrested after attacking reporters in front of the courthouse. Karadzic's brother, Luka, was also seen arriving at the location in central Belgrade.

Serbian police also deployed throughout central Belgrade as well as in front of the U.S. Embassy, which was targeted in nationalist rioting over Kosovo's declaration of independence in February.

In Sarajevo, residents poured into the streets singing, chanting, calling everyone they know. News of the Karadzic's arrest spread throughout the Bosnian capital within minutes — even before it was reported by local media.

More than a decade ago, the Serbs starved, sniped and bombarded Sarajevo's center from strongholds in Pale and Vraca high above the city, controlling nearly all roads into and out.

Sarejevo's inhabitants were kept alive only by a thin lifeline of food aid and supplies provided by UN donors and peacekeepers, and risked their lives merely walking down the street, shopping in a market or driving on one of the main roads, which became known as "Sniper Alley."

The siege, which began in April 1992, was not officially lifted until February 1996, after NATO intervention and the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords. During that time, an estimated 10,000 people had died in and around the city.

The charges against Karadzic, last amended in May 2000, include genocide, extermination, murder, deportation, inhumane acts, and other crimes committed against Bosnian Muslim, Bosnian Croat and other non-Serb civilians in Bosnia during the 1992-1995 war.

Karadzic was born to a poor rural family in Montenegro. He trained as a psychiatrist and moved to Sarajevo with his wife and two children in the 1960s.

A flamboyant gambler and sometime poet, Karadzic became a founding member of the Serbian Democratic Party in Bosnia in 1990. Two years later, he was elected president of the three-person presidency of the breakaway Serbian republic in Bosnia, soon after Bosnia was recognized as an independent state by the United Nations. He became sole president of the Serb Republic in Bosnia that year, remaining in that position until 1996 and also serving as supreme commander of the armed forces.

Karadzic hobnobbed with international negotiators and his interviews were top news items during the 3 1/2-year Bosnian war. But his life changed by the time the war ended in late 1995 with tens of thousands of dead and another 1.8 million driven from their homes. He was indicted twice by the U.N. tribunal on genocide charges stemming from his alleged crimes against Bosnia's Muslims and Croats.

But he still wielded power among Bosnian Serbs from the shadows and occasionally appeared in public before he went on the run in 1998.

Karadzic's reported hide-outs included Serbian Orthodox monasteries and refurbished mountain caves in remote eastern Bosnia. Some newspaper reports said he had at times disguised himself as a priest by shaving off his trademark silver mane and donning a brown cassock.

The fugitive's wife, Ljiljana, told The Associated Press by phone from her home in Karadzic's former stronghold, Pale, that her daughter Sonja had called her before midnight.

"As the phone rang, I knew something was wrong. I'm shocked. Confused. At least now, we know he is alive," Ljiljana Karadzic said, declining further comment.

The White House called the arrest "an important demonstration of the Serbian government's determination to honor its commitment to cooperate with the International Criminal Tribunal."

A European Union statement said the arrest "illustrates the commitment of the new Belgrade government to contributing to peace and stability in the Balkans region."

"It proves the determination of the new Serbian government to achieve full cooperation with the ICTY (U.N. tribunal). It is also very important for Serbia's European aspirations," European Commission President Manuel Barroso said Tuesday as the EU foreign ministers arrived in Brussels for their monthly session.

VALUE OF CURRENCIES

Value and Currencies in the world

Zimbabwe

How would you like to be a billionaire? It's easy, just move to the countries below.


Zimbabwe as an example, this country's entire population of over 12,000,000 are billionaires. In fact, many are trillionaires, or even quadrillionaires. in case you're unfamiliar with "quadrillions, " a quadrillion is a million billion, or a 1 followed by 15 zeros
The least valued currency unit is the currency in which a single unit buys the least number of any given other currency or the smallest amount of a given good. Most commonly, the calculation is made against a major reserve currency such as the euro (EUR) or the United States dollar (USD

 

As Americans worry about the rate of inflation exceeding 4 percent, we should consider Zimbabwe, where the inflation rate broke the shocking 100,000 percent mark and the country released a 250 million-dollar note (now valued below $4 on the black market). But Zimbabwe's currency is hardly the only one inflated beyond reason.
Last month, a pint of milk (if you were lucky enough to find one in the store) cost Z$3 billion, a single egg, Z$4 billion. A pound of margarine cost Z$25 billion and a pack of 10 cookies costs Z$19 billion. That was last month. Prices are even higher today.

 

 

Vietnam

500,000-dong note. U.S. value: $31.37
An early-1980s U.S. embargo hobbled exports, leading to price controls and the printing of excess currency.
Early this month, the Vietnamese dong rate in the black market has strengthened towards the official level after the government released more dollars into the economy and cracked down on state banks' currency transactions, which traded at 16,849.50 per dollar.

 

 

Indonesia

 

 

 

100,000-rupiah note. U.S. value: $11.05
During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the rupiah lost 80 percent of its value within months, sparking riots in Jakarta (and soon ending President Suharto's 32-year rule). From the years 2000 to 2008, the exchange rate has generally been between 8,000 and 11,000 rupiah to one United States dollar. As of June 2008, one United States dollar is worth approximately 9,300 Indonesian rupiah.

 

 

Iran

 

50,000-rial note. U.S. value: $5.35
Since the 1979 revolution, Iran's inflation rate has hovered around 15 percent, thanks in part to ever-rising oil prices.
Until 2002, Iran's exchange rate system was based on a multi-layered system, where state and para-state enterprises benefited from the preferred rate (1750 rial for $1) while the private sector had to pay the market rate (8000 rial for $1), hence creating an unequal competition environment. However, in March 2002, the multi-tiered system was replaced by a unified, market-driven exchange rate.

 

 

S찾o Tom챕 (Sao Tome)

 

50,000-dobra note. U.S. value: $3.47.
This African island nation's economy is tied to the volatile price of its chief export, cocoa, and is measured against its trading partners' robust euro.
In late 2000, S찾o Tom챕 qualified for significant debt reduction under the IMF-World Bank's Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. The reduction is currently being reevaluated by the IMF, due to the attempted coup d'etat in July 2003 and subsequent emergency spending.

 

Guinea

 

10,000-franc note. U.S. value: $2.33
In 2002, the mineral-rich African country refused to implement reforms mandated by the International Monetary Fund; foreign cash dried up, and the central bank printed too much money.
From an average value of about 2500 Guinean francs to the pound sterling during the year 2000, the value of the currency has fallen to a current level (April 2006) of about 8000 to the GBP and about 4500 to the United States dollar.

Laos

 

 

50,000-Lao Kip. U.S. value: $5.73
Laos is a landlocked country with an inadequate infrastructure and a largely unskilled work force. The country's per capita income in 2004 was estimated to be $1,900 on a purchasing power parity-basis.
The Asian financial crisis, coupled with the Lao Government's own mismanagement of the economy, resulted in spiraling inflation and a steep depreciation of the kip, which lost 87% of its value from June 1997 to June 1999.

 

Turkmenistan

10,000-manat note. U.S. value: $1.92
Since 1991 – the last year of existence of the USSR – up to 1993 – the last year of rouble zone existence – the rate of inflation was measured in tens, hundreds and even thousands per cent per year.
For the recent years the process of involving internal sources of investment into the sphere of currency turnover and currency accrual has become unprecedented in its scale.

 

زمبابوے، سو ارب ڈالر کا نوٹ جاری

مقامی لوگوں کے مطابق نئے نوٹ کا بھی کوئی فائدہ نہیں ہوگا زمبابوے کی حکومت نے افراط زر میں بے تحاشہ اضافے کے پیش نظر سو ارب ڈالر کا نوٹ جاری کرنے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے لیکن مہنگائی اتنی ہے کہ یہ رقم صرف ایک ڈبل روٹی خریدنے کے لیے کافی ہوگا۔ کچھ لوگ اس سے بھی بڑے نوٹ جاری کرنے کا مطالبہ کر رہے ہیں کیونکہ حکومتی اعداد و شمار کے مطابق افراط زر کی سالانہ شرح بائیس لاکھ فیصد سے بھی تجاوز کر گئی ہے۔ لیکن بعض غیر سرکاری ماہرین کے مطابق افراط زر کی شرح اس سے بھی زیادہ ہے۔ معیشت کی خرات صورتحال کی وجہ سے ملک کی اسی فیصد آبادی غربت کے نرغے میں آگئی ہے اور ملک میں بنیادی اشیاء کی شدید قلت پیدا ہوگئی ہے۔ اس سے قبل جنوری میں حکومت نے دس ملین زمبابوین ڈالر کا نوٹ جاری کیا تھا۔ اس کے بعد پچاس ملین کا نوٹ جاری کیا گیا اور پھر بات اربوں میں پہنچ گئی۔ نئیا نوٹ پیر سے بازار میں آجائے گا لیکن مقامی لوگوں کا کہنا ہے کہ یہ ایک وقت کا کھانا خریدنے کے لیے بھی کافی نہیں ہے۔ ایک شخص کے مطابق ’ آجکل دوپہر کا کھانا کھانے کے لیے مجھے پانچ سو ارب ڈالر کی ضرورت پڑتی ہے۔‘ ’سو ارب سے اب کچھ نہیں ہوتا، صرف گھر جانے کے لیے ہی میرے ڈھائی سو ارب ڈالر خرچ ہوتے ہیں۔‘ ایک وقت تھا کہ زمبابوے کا شمار افریقہ کے امیر ترین ممالک میں ہوتا تھا۔

PHARAOH

Dead Body of Rameses II (The Egyptian Pharaoh)

 

 

This is the Dead Body of Rameses II, The Egyptian King in the era of Prophet Moses (Peace be upon Him). Its age is approximately three thousands years and it was found by Red Sea, at the place called Jabalain. The most amazing thing with this dead body is; it isn't a mummy. Scientists says that this dead body is amazingly preserved without any mummification, even all inside organs are not removed.

So what is the secret of such good preservation of this mummy?. See the answer in the Holy Quran where Allah Almighty said that the Firaun will be preserved as a warning for generations.

Maulana Haji Ahmad sacked and suffering from loss off Income

I take my Hats of for the Pakistani Association in sorting the dispute between Hafiz Junaid and SAMA, Now we have another problem which seems to be affecting our muslim community these days. The reason for me bringing this issueon to Sohni Dharti is because , this site has solved a number of issues and i am sure the Pakistani Association President of New Zealand will try to solve this issue as well.

 

Maulana Ahmad was initailly employed by New Zealand Muslim League where he was running a Madrasa but later got redundant by the Association for some rather odd reason. Then he was employed by the Manutual Islam Association of New Zealand but yet again the Poor Maulana got the sack because a converted Islamic Lady got the  Maulana's Job. Its been tauted that Amir Ahmed is behind all this.

 

For his survival Maulana Ahmad had to resort to cleaning jobs. Brothers, like Hafiz Junaid, Maulana Ahmad has got quran in his heart and he should not be treated any differently then Hafiz Junaid, Please brother Hasan and Sohni Dharti, bring Justise to Maulana Ahmad.

 Okra - BHINDA(BHINDI)

 

 A guy has been suffering from constipation for the past 20 years and

> Here are some facts on okra (from the research of Ms. Sylvia Zook, PH.D

> 

> "Okra is a powerhouse of valuable nutrients, nearly half of which is
