Zouk Abuse

“On the 29th of October my fiancee and I were assaulted and beaten up by bouncers at Zouk, Kuala Lumpur. We went over for what we thought would be a fun Halloween night out. We expected to see costumes, and pumpkins, and receive the odd scare or two. Never did we consider in our wildest dreams we’d be “seeing stars” and spending time in hospitals soon after. ”

印尼警方發現疑為峇里島恐怖疑犯屍首

November 10th, 2005 | 03:51:15 pm

【法新社 】

(法新社印尼九日外電報導)印尼警方表示,馬來西亞籍的回教激進份子艾沙哈瑞‧胡辛今天遭印尼警方圍困後,引爆炸彈自殺。他是製造炸彈高手,疑為二00二年峇里島爆炸案主謀,是亞洲通緝要犯之一。

艾沙哈瑞出身與蓋\達恐怖組織有關的東南亞激進組織「回教祈禱團」,有「爆破專家」之稱。他藏身在東爪哇偏遠的峇都地區,在與圍捕的警方槍戰後引爆炸彈自殺,警方深夜宣布已證實其身分。 這是印尼安全機構對付回教祈禱團的一大成功,該組織也涉嫌犯下上個月發生在度假勝地峇里島的另一起致命爆炸案。

印尼記者卡尼稍早告訴ANTV電視台,他隨同警方的反恐部隊攻進艾沙哈瑞的藏身處,見到他喪命該處。 他表示:「他的屍體雖炸成碎片,但來自雅加達的反恐部隊中兩名成員仍能認出他的面貌。」 艾沙哈瑞和馬來西亞同胞努爾丁都遭通緝,因為他們是二00二年十月造成二百零二人喪生的峇里島爆炸案的要角,也涉及上個月的那起攻擊事件和另外幾件爆炸案。 峇都位在首都雅加達東方約七百公里處。

卡尼說,警方喝令艾沙哈瑞藏身處的人出來時,屋內的人開火攻擊,擊傷一名警員,他們隨後引爆炸彈自殺。 他表示,警方進入遭炸毀的房屋內時,見到三具屍體還有一些引線,擔心再發生爆炸,隨即撤出。 年近五十的艾沙哈瑞在一九七0年代末期至澳洲留學(新聞、網站)四年,返國後在馬來西亞科技大學任教,於二00一年當局鎮壓回教激進份子時消失蹤影。

For direct-selling giant Amway Co., China is fast becoming its most lucrative overseas market, far surpassing sales in the massive yet troublesome Japanese market.

After some 10 years of operations, Amway’s annual sales in China are nearing 200 billion, yen or almost twice those in Japan and even those in the United States, where the company was founded, and are likely to reach the 300 billion yen mark in the foreseeable future.

“You only have to look at China and at how many people there are there to get an idea of what the future looks like,” said Steve Van Andel, chairman of Amway’s parent company Alticor Inc., headquartered in Ada, Mich.
