Bolante’s habeas corpus bid dismissed anew

A U.S. court dismissed recently former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante’s petition for habeas corpus which, he said, would enable him to challenge the legality of his two-year detention.

Judge Charles N. Clevert Jr. of the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin cited lack of jurisdiction in dismissing Bolante’s petition last Sept. 3.

Judge Lynn Adelman of the same court dismissed on Oct. 18, 2006 a similar petition from Bolante also “for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”

A Filipino among those killed in Pakistan blast

The following article from the Pakistan newspaper, The Dawn, says one of those killed in the suicide bombing in Pakistan is a Filipino.

Tears through capital

ISLAMABAD, Sept 20: An explosive-laden truck rammed into the front gate of a premier hotel in a high-security zone of Islamabad on Saturday, setting off what police called the most devastating suicide attack in the capital that killed at least 40 people and wounded more than 250.
