Black Muslims Respond to Arafat's Death
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, 75, died of unknown causes in Paris early on the morning of Nov. 11. His death is quickly capturing the attention of leaders across the globe.
Some remember Arafat for his continuous quest for peace within Israel, as well as his much-documented push to create an independent Palestinian state. But others remain less inspired about the legacy he has left, finding disfavor with his political strategies and even charging that he was corrupt.

Iraq north oil exports sharply cut by attacks
Flows through Iraq's northern oil export pipeline have fallen to 200,000 barrels per day after a series of sabotage attacks and could remain below capacity for over a month, an oil official said on Tuesday.
Iraq was pumping about 500,000 bpd through the northern pipeline to Turkey's Ceyhan port this month but that fell to about 300,000 bpd when oil was diverted for domestic use after attacks on the domestic network.
Sabotage attacks on five oil wells and a pumping station over the past ...

What is important is not killing the Iraqis, but rather securing the...
