Encounter specialist' police officer Daya Nayak, who was suspended following complaints that he owned assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, had been reinstated after the Mumbai Police revoked his suspension order, Mumbai Police's official spokesperson Nisar Tamboli told The Hindu on Saturday.
He has been posted in the Local Arms unit in the same designation which he held when he was suspended, Mr. Tamboli said.
Mr. Nayak's suspension was revoked by a police committee and the order was signed by Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik on Saturday. Mr. Nayak is known to have killed more than 80 gangsters in encounters.
Mr. Nayak was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau in 2006 on the complaint by former journalist Ketan Tirodkar. He was given bail after 60 days of arrest as the police failed to file a charge sheet in the stipulated period.
Mr. Nayak has been under suspension since 2006. No substantial evidence was found against the policeman during the investigation, police sources said.
In 2010, the Supreme Court quashed all the charges against him under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

Each Voyager space probe carries a gold-plated audio-visual disc in the event that either spacecraft is ever found by intelligent life-forms from other planetary systems. The discs carry photos of the Earth and its lifeforms, a range of scientific information, spoken greetings from people (e.g. the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the United States
Btw that would be Jimmy Carter and Kurt Waldheim.

Yes EC, Jimmy Carter could be characterized as a "life form". We must surely give him that, but not a great deal more... please.

[Al Ahram] The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) will retain legislative powers until a new parliament is elected, a judicial source told Ahram Online on Friday. The source says that according to Article 56 in the constitutional declaration, which was issued by the SCAF in March 2011, the armed forces have broad rights to administer the country's affairs during the transitional period after the fall of ousted president Mubarak.
The article listed ten powers SCAF retains during that period, including the right to appoint a prime minister and cabinet ministers, the right to appoint civil and military officials, and the right to legislate and determine budgetary matters.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Togolese security forces took over an area where a third day of protests that have drawn thousands were to be held on Thursday after police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators the previous day.
Several thousand had gathered for protests in the capital Lome on Tuesday and Wednesday over changes to the electoral law opposition members say the governing party forced through in a country led by the same family for more than four decades.
Security forces broke up the demonstration on Wednesday with tear gas, and the opposition claimed 119 people were maimed over the two days amid government "repression."
Security Minister Colonel Gnama Latta said Wednesday that 22 copperswere maimed in the two days of unrest when protesters hurled missiles at them and erected barricades in certain districts.
The protests have come ahead of parliamentary elections expected for October.
"We could not rally today as planned because the entire area was occupied by the security forces overnight," said Zeus Ajavon of the Let's Save Togo coalition, which organised the protests.
He said the coalition was calling on residents in Lome to stay at home in protest on Friday. More protests would be planned for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, he said.
An AFP journalist saw around 50 police at the main protest area.

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz al-Saud has died in Geneva, Saudi state television said on Saturday, citing a royal court statement.
Likely next Saudi heir Defense Minister Salman is fervent interventionist on Syria
Arab circles pushing for Western-Arab military force in the Syrian crisis will find substantial encouragement in the almost-certain accession of Saudi Defense Minister Salman, 76, to crown prince and heir to the throne after Interior Minister Prince Nayef died of a long illness. When Salman visited Washington on April 11 he won the approval of President Barack Obama and top administration officials as next in line to the throne occupied by the octogenarian King Abdullah. He bluntly urged the US president to dispose of the Syrian problem by bombing Bashar Assad's palace, a suggestion Obama rejected. Salman has since bombarded Washington himself with demands for US military intervention to end the Assad regime.

It's sad. Because with Freddy Mercury already dead, who now has the world's gayest facial hair? Maybe Anderson Cooper can grow a handlebar mustache or something.
Agent arrested in spy may have compromised some of China's US agents, in what is considered major setback for Beijing's intelligence efforts
A Chinese state-security official arrested earlier this year on allegations of spying for Washington is suspected to have compromised some of China's US agents in a major setback that angered President Hu Jintao, sources said.
Hu personally intervened this year, ordering an investigation into the case after the Ministry of State Security arrested one of its own officials for passing information to the Americans, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The official, an aide to a vice minister, was taken into custody sometime between January and March after the ministry became alarmed last year over repeated incidents of Chinese agents being compromised in the United States, they said.
The ministry's own investigations found the aide had been working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for years, divulging information about China's overseas spy network in the nation's worst espionage scandal for two decades, they added.

The editor's none too bright. The damage is to US intelligence and it's massive. We've just lost a highly-placed mole. I have to wonder if we could have provided a defector package to Wang Lijun and thereby diverted attention from our mole. Did Obama more or less sign this mole's death warrant by not taking Wang in?
#6
I have to wonder if the FBI was a little too ham-handed in apprehending the spies whose identities were provided by this mole. If David Cornwell's novels are anything to go by, spy agencies are supposed to throw a lot of red herrings in the path of whatever foreign intel agencies are engaged in trying to figure how one of their own was discovered while operating abroad. Over the past several years, the pace at which Chinese spies were being arrested seemed a little high. Now we know why - we had someone on the inside.
Was Barack "007" Obama involved in trying to generate positive headlines for himself? When Bush was president, Senior Colonel Xu Junping, Director of Strategy in China's Defence Ministry, who came in from the cold in March 2001, after having begun working for the Taiwanese intelligence services in 1999. Why couldn't our guy have done the same? What a disaster for future agent recruitment - the impression being given here is that (1) we won't accept defectors and (2) we will keep moles working for us in place until they are captured (and eventually executed).

you may have just nailed 0bama's intel strategy. He wants china to prosper at our expense. he might even have dropped the dime on the mole for campaign cash. nothing is beyond him.

Deepening splits between Angela Merkel and François Hollande erupted into the open on Friday as the German chancellor attacked Paris for allowing the French economy to stall.
Mrs Merkel warned the policies of the new Socialist president could destroy the eurozone by bringing the sovereign debt crisis to France itself.
The bleak assessment came on the eve of an important weekend that will see elections in Greece and France and a key G20 meeting of world leaders in Mexico.
"Europe must discuss the growing differences in economic strength between France and Germany," she said.
Tensions are running so high that Jean-Marc Ayrault, the French prime minister, was forced to deny that Paris had broken off the Franco-German partnership, following Berlin anger at a Franco-Italian summit in Rome on Thursday.
There was a growing sense of crisis in European capitals after David Cameron, the Prime Minister, took part in a tense conference call with Mrs Merkel, Mr Hollande and Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister.
G20 leaders meet in Los Cabos on Monday afternoon for talks dominated by the deepening eurozone crisis and the result of close elections that could put Greece on course to leave the EU's single currency.
Eurozone finance ministers are on standby for an emergency telephone conference on Sunday night, if Greek exit polls put the radical Left Syriza coalition in the lead, to trigger contingency plans, including possible capital controls in the event of a run on banks in Greece, Portugal or Spain

The Germans are very irritated that France lowered its retirement age to 60, while they retire at 67. They don't want to bail them out.

I wonder how well an "EU" comprised of the following countries would do: Germany, Poland, Austria, The Czec Republic, Denmark, the Baltic States, Finland, and Norway? Possibly Slovenia and Croatia as well.
No Romania, Slovakia, or any other economic third stringers or hanger ons, either. Just economically productive countries whose populations have an established work ethic.

Electing the socialists in France is probably the most idiotic move in history. I really do not understand how the French people could possibly have been so stupid. Europe's problems are BECAUSE of socialist policies, more of them are not going to solve the problem.
How the heck did this guy get elected? I mean, the French must have at least HALF a brain.
[Al Ahram] A Bosnian court on Friday convicted four former elite soldiers of crimes against humanity for executing some 800 Bosnian Muslims during the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and sentenced them to up to 43 years. The men, three Bosnian Serbs and a Slovene, were members of an elite Bosnian Serb unit who took part in a notorious six-hour execution at the Branjevo military farm, were acquitted of genocide charges as the court ruled it was not proven they had the "genocidal intent" needed for such a conviction.

Nothing "elite" or soldierly here, just your common, garden variety, Euro mass murderers. Not certain how they escaped "genocidal intent".
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
