درگیری مسلحانه در روستای حسن آباد سنندج ادامه دارد سنندج - خبرگزاری مهر: در پی آغاز درگیری بین افراد مسلح ناشناس و نیروهای انتظامی در روستای حسن آباد این حادثه همچنان ادامه دارد. به گزارش خبرنگار مهر در سنندج، درگیری مسلحانه بین افراد ناشناس و نیروی انتظامی که از ساعت 15 ظهر پنج شنبه آغاز شده بود تا دقایقی قبل همچنان ادامه داشت و صدای شلیک گلوله همچنان به گوش می رسد.
افراد حاضر در ورودی روستای حسن آباد که شاهد ماجرا بوده اند به خبرنگار مهر در محل وقوع حادثه گفتند که این درگیری از حدود ساعت 15 بعد از ظهر آغاز شده است و تاکنون ادامه دارد و در حال حاضر صدای شلیک گلوله در بخشهای این روستا همچنان به گوش می رسد و نیروهای انتظامی و نظامی کنترل این محوطه را به دست گرفته اند.
تا این لحظه هیچگونه جزئیاتی از این حادثه اطلاع رسانی نشده است ولی معاون اجتماعی و ارشاد فرماندهی انتظامی کردستان ساعتی قبل در گفتگو با خبرنگار مهر در سنندج وقوع این درگیری را تائید کرده بود.
یکی از رسانه های محلی کردستان نیز در خبری آورده است که این درگیری به دلیل گروگان گیری آغاز شده است ولی افراد ساکن در روستای حسن آباد جریان های تندرو را که چندی قبل نیز دست به اقدامات و حرکت های تروریستی زده بودند را مقصر اصلی این حوادث معرفی می کردند.
تاکنون هیچکدام از مسئولان استان کردستان نسبت به اعلام جزئیات این حادثه اطلاع رسانی نکرده و در پاسخ به سوال خبرنگار مهر با ذکر این جمله که بعدا اطلاع رسانی صورت می گیرد بسنده کرده اند.
روستای حسن آباد در پنج کیلومتری شهر سنندج مرکز استان کردستان واقع شده است.

The day Westminster went to traveller city
Friday, 22 April
MPs find a rude awakening on a 'problem-solving' trip to a site threatened with eviction By Tom Peck
Against a backdrop of beaten up caravans and dogs scampering in the dust, the 4th Baron Avebury and Conservative Councillor Richard Bennett are discussing the legislative intricacies of the Caravan Sites Act 1968, in front of local news cameras.
Both are trying to ignore the 10-year-old boy in a Wayne Rooney football shirt, jumping up and down in front of the lens shouting "Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off!" until eventually the Baron can take no more, and offers a handshake and a "How do you do?" The boy, startled, runs off with the tripod (it was later recovered).
"We won't go!" reads the sign above the entrance to Dale Farm, near Wickford in Essex, the largest Irish traveller site in the UK. Basildon council voted last month to evict the majority of the tenants, many of whom have been there for 10 years or more. Protests have taken place, with UN representatives siding with the travellers, and police helicopters have been circling, prompting fears the dreaded 28-day eviction notice may be about to arrive.
The All Party Parliamentary Group on Gypsies and Travellers was dispatched from Westminster to see if a solution could be found. "Ah, lovely to see you, you get better looking every day," long-term resident Mary Ann McCarthy, a so called "queen" of the community, tells the 82-year-old Lord Avebury, who, like a respectable Lib Dem, has a "Yes to AV" badge on his lapel. "Shall we put the kettle on?"
Shadow Justice Minister, Andy Slaughter MP, Cllr Richard Bennett, the Conservatives' man on traveller and gypsy communities, former Unison general secretary Rodney Bickerstaffe and a representative from the Irish Embassy are served sandwiches and soft drinks inside Ms McCarthy's semi-permanent chalet.
"Eric Pickles is a bad man," she tells them. Pickles, the Communities Secretary, has recently warned councils to be on their guard for "land grabs" by the travelling community. "I'm speaking the truth from my heart. He is anti-traveller, and the rest of the Government has given him the rocks to throw at us. Everyone is entitled to live their lives the way they want to."
"If the council deliver this 28-day letter, it will be a declaration of war. Bulldozing people's homes is an act of violence. We hope it doesn't come to that," Grattan Puxon, a leading campaigner for the traveller community, tells them. "This is a model community."
Moments later, the delegation has to part as a new Mercedes full of teenage boys accelerates up the site's main gravel road. They turn around and do it again, this time pausing to pass a graphic verdict on a female Italian "desegregation expert" sent by the EU Commission. Next to her is a sign warning "THE MEDIA" against entering without prior appointment. "You wanna watch it up there," warns a 10-year-old on a bike. "There's loads of dogs. They bite."
It is estimated evicting the travellers will cost £18m, or 30 per cent of Basildon Council's budget. Should the travellers be forced out, they say they will live on the roadside, also unauthorised, which could cost £200m over 10 years. "This is my home. They can't take our home from us," said a 16-year-old boy called Jonathan. "I'll climb that scaffolding there and hang myself."
With the council's mind made up, it is not clear what politicians can do to help, but their presence was welcomed. "Politicians and travellers are a lot alike," pondered Ms McCarthy. "Some are good, some are bad, but neither of us deserve the reputation we've got."
NZ Man Arrested for Growing Cannabis
A 51-year old man who has been arrested in New Zealand for growing cannabis has said that it was done solely for medical purposes since it helped alleviate pain.
Peter Davy, who is dying from cancer, was arrested by police for possession of cannabis, cultivating cannabis, importing cannabis seeds and unlicensed possession of a rifle. However his wife, who is a multiple sclerosis patient, said that the only reason for them to grow cannabis was because it helped them get relief from pain.
Davy’s arrest has been criticized by a number of people in the country with Greencross Auckland’s Stephen McIntyre saying that Davy deserves compassion since he is clearly using medicinal cannabis in order to remain pain free in order to take care of his partner.
“No-one can question his validity of using cannabis for pain or MS - the legal prescribing of medical cannabis in Canada, Europe and the United States for both conditions attests to its efficacy”, McIntyre added.

Malware authors target Google Chrome | ZDNet
By Ed Bott | April 21, 2011, 4:17am PDT
Summary
Sorry, Windows users. Switching to a different browser than Internet Explorer won’t immunize you from malware attacks. The bad guys have begun preying on that misplaced confidence to push dangerous software, including Trojans and scareware. Here’s a live, very dangerous example.

Ed Bott is an award-winning technology writer with more than two decades' experience writing for mainstream media outlets and online publications. He's served as editor of the U.S. edition of PC Computing and managing editor of PC World; both publications had monthly paid circulation in excess of 1 million during his tenure. He is the author of more than 25 books on Microsoft Windows and Office, including the recently released Windows 7 Inside Out.
Every time I write about Internet Explorer, it’s usually a matter of minutes—sometimes even seconds—until someone in the Talkback section proclaims, smugly, that they’ve switched to Google Chrome or Firefox and are therefore immune from malware attacks.
They’re wrong, and malware authors have begun preying on users of alternative browsers to push dangerous software, including Trojans and scareware. The problem is that most malware attacks aren’t triggered by exploits that target vulnerabilities in code. Instead, according to one recent study, “users are four times more likely to come into contact with social engineering tactics as opposed to a site serving up an exploit.”
I found a perfect example yesterday, thanks to an alert from Silverlight developer Kevin Dente. He had typed in a simple set of search terms—Silverlight datagrid reorder columns—at Google.com, using the Google Chrome browser on Windows. You can follow along with what happened next in the screenshot gallery that accompanies this post.
The first page of Google search results included several perfectly good links, but the sixth result was booby trapped. Clicking that link in Google Chrome popped up this dialog box:
That led to a basic social engineering attack, but this one has a twist. It was customized for Chrome. If you’ve ever seen a Google Chrome security warning, you’ll recognize the distinctive, blood-red background, which this malware author has duplicated very effectively.
After the fake scan is complete, another dialog box comes up, warning that “Google Chrome recommends you to install proper software.”
That’s terrible grammar, and this social-engineering attack is likely to fail with an English-speaking victim, who should be suspicious of the odd wording. But a user whose primary language is something other than English might well be fooled. And the malware author has anticipated the possibility that you might click Cancel in the dialog box. If you do, it still tries to download the malicious software.
Each time I visited this page, the download I was offered was slightly different. My installed antivirus software (Microsoft Security Essentials) didn’t flag it as dangerous. When I submitted it to VirusTotal.com, only five of the 42 engines correctly identified it as a suspicious file. Less than 8 hours later, a second scan at VirusTotal was a little better. This time, eight engines confirmed that the file was suspicious. Microsoft’s virus definitions had been updated and a scan identified the rogue file as Win32/Defmid.
Panda and Precx identified the file as “Suspicious” and “Medium risk malware,” respectively. BitDefender, F-Secure, and GData flagged it as “Gen:Trojan.Heur.FU.quX@am@e97ci.” AntiVir detected it as “TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen.” Kaspersky says it is “Trojan-Downloader.Win32.FraudLoad.zdul.” Every other antivirus engine, as of a few minutes ago, waved this suspicious executable right through.
Meanwhile, back in the browser, Google Chrome’s warnings are completely generic. If you download the software it shows up in the Downloads folder looking perfectly innocent.
Interestingly, this set of “poisoned” search terms also affected Bing, although the dangerous search result was on a different site, which didn’t show up until the fifth page of search results. And the download that it offered was, apparently, a completely different Trojan/scareware product. But the end result would have been the same, regardless of which browser I was using.
This case study shows that malware authors are beginning to adapt to changing habits of PC users. There’s nothing inherently safer about alternative browsers—or even alternative operating systems, for that matter—and as users adapt, so do the bad guys.
Be careful out there.
