| UN : No Hamas fighters in targeted schoolThu, 08 Jan 2009 08:46:39 -0800 by 1GangRelatedThe head of the UN agency in Gaza running the school that was attacked by Israel forces has rejected claims that Hamas fighters were inside the converted shelter.The Israeli military accused Hamas of using civilians sheltering inside the building as "human shields" and said its troops had returned fire after fighters fired mortars at their positions from within al-Fakhora school in the Jabaliya refugee camp.But John Ging, the director of operations in Gaza for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), told reporters that he had visited the school during a three-hour lull in the fighting on Wednesday and "was reassured by the management of the school ... that there were no militants in the school".Ging added that these were his "own staff, senior, experienced, long-serving staff"."I am very confident now that there was no militant activity inside the school nor militants in the school," he said.He also reiterated a call for an independent investigation into the incident."If anybody has evidence to the contrary, then let's bring it forward," Ging said.The Israeli strike on Tuesday left 43 Palestinians dead and about 100 injured.At least 700 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and nearly 3,085 wounded since Israel's military offensive began on December 27.Seven Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died in the same period.The Israeli army said on Wednesday it stood by its statement issued the day before in which it claimed that mortars had been fired "from within" the school, but then issued another statement later dropping the word "within" to say "mortar fire from" the school.Chris Gunness, a spokesman for Unrwa, said this was "an extremely important distinction because we have been accused of very serious allegations that our premises were being used to fire rockets".Michel Abdel Massih QC, a London-based international human rights lawyer, also called for an independent investigation."If [Israeli] claims are to be tested properly we need an independent tribunal. The International Criminal Court was set up to deal with these issues, so there is a mechanism for the UN security council to refer the case for investigation," he told Al Jazeera.When asked if Israel would allow such an investigation, Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, said Israel had already held an "initial investigation" which found that troops had returned fire from the UN building.Regev accused Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip, of committing a "war crime" by using those sheltering in the UN school as "a human shield".The incident has provoked strong international condemnation with Ban-Ki-moon, secretary-general of the United Nations, branding both the incident and Hamas rocket attacks as "unacceptable" - Thanks to ArchivesAlgeriennes -Reporters in Gaza :http://ingaza.wordp ress.com/http://elec tronicintifada.net/n ew.shtml Related: breaking news breakers un no hamas fighters in targeted school |

| Help Fido Fight Cancer What to do if your Pet gets Cancer NaSat, 06 Dec 2008 13:30:10 -0800 by SBARTSTVHelp Fido Fight Cancer What to do if your Pet gets Cancer Nationally Known Veterinarian and Featured Guest of Animal Planet's 'Groomer Has It' Discusses Special Opportunity to Help Raise Money for Pet Cancer Awareness Pets are living longer these days thanks to modern veterinary medicine and technology. That's great news to pet owners who already count Fido as part of their families. But, longer life spans mean more ailments as pets get older. As a pet's life expectancy increases, so does its risk of cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in pets. Even though nearly one in four pets will be diagnosed with cancer, few pet owners know how commonly it occurs and what treatment options are out there. While cancer is claiming fewer four-legged victims these days thanks to sophisticated treatments and the willingness of pet owners to pursue those treatments, the costs for these advanced treatments are rising. Pet insurance helps equip pet owners financially to pursue cancer care by reimbursing for testing and treatments of cancer in dogs and cats.During November, visitors to petinsurance.com will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive Pet Cancer Awareness dog collars, with all the profits going directly toward advancing the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancers in pets and people. Dr. Karen Halligan, nationally known veterinarian and featured guest of the popular 'Groomer Has It' show on Animal Planet will be available to talk to your viewers about the prevalence of cancer among dogs and cats. Talent/Guest: Dr. Karen Halligan, Veterinarian and Featured Guest of 'Groomer Has It'Dr. Karen Halligan, author, devoted pet owner and respected veterinarian, has developed a distinguished veterinary medical career based on her lifelong commitment to animal welfare and pet owner education. Dr. Halligan is currently the Director of Veterinary Services at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Los Angeles (SPCA LA), where she oversees the health and well being of all the shelter animals and routinely performs surgical procedures.
