It's 15: 00 Universal Time and here is the news from the Voice of America. From the VOA News Center in Washington, I'm Gloria Gibson. Hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza Saturday, vowing (revenge) for the killing of three militants in an Israeli airstrike on Friday. The three militants died in the raid east of Gaza city were members of military wing of a radical Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad. Two powerful suicide attacks struck different areas of northwestern Pakistan Saturday, (apparently) targeting the country's security forces. VOA correspondent Sean Maroney reports from Islamabad. Authorities in Bannu say the suicide bomber exploded a small truck full of (explosives), destroying the police station and surrounding buildings. District Police Officer Iqbal Marwat says nearby civilians were wounded, but most of the (casualties) were police officers. He says the attacker tried to ram the vehicle through the main gate, but then detonated the bomb after police opened fire. Local media are quoting a representative for the (outlawed) Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan as taking responsibility for the bombing. This is the first time the alliance of more than a dozen militant groups with links to al-Qaida has claimed responsibility since its former leader Baitullah Mehsud was reportedly killed in a U. S. missile strike. Hours later in Peshawar, officials say an attacker in a parked car threw a (grenade) at a crowd of people outside the Askari Bank before exploding in the car. Saturday's attacks come as the Pakistani military works to expand its (offensive) against the Taliban from in and around Swat Valley to the north to South Waziristan.

The United Nations says August was the deadliest month for Afghan civilians so far this year partly due to an increase in violence before the August 20 (presidential) vote. The UN mission said 1500 civilians were killed between January and August. More than two thirds of the civilian deaths were due to militant attacks. Iran says it will allow (inspectors) from the International Atomic Energy Agency into its newly disclosed, renewed enrichment program. Earlier, a top (aide) to the Iran's supreme leader says the nation's newly disclosed nuclear enrichment plan would be operational soon. The announcement came one day after US President Barack Obama warned Iran that it must come clean about its disputed nuclear program in international talks next week or face new (sanctions) from the united world community. Reiterating accusations that he made alongside the leaders of France and Britain at the G20 summit, U.S. President Obama said that Iran’s building of that secret (uranium) enrichment plant was part of a disturbing pattern of Iranian invasion. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown agreed and he said Iran must be more honest. "(Confronted) with the serial deception of many years, the international community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand." Speaking through an interpreter, French President Nicolas Sarkozy also said that time was running out for Teheran. "By December, (if) there is not an in-depth change by the Iranian leaders, sanctions will have to be taken." Protesters demonstrated in front of Burma's Embassy in Bangkok. More from VOA's Daniel Schearf. About 30 protesters, including Buddhist monks, chant (slogans) outside the gates of the Burma's embassy in Bangkok. The demonstrators wear red band and hold posters calling for (democracy) and the release of political prisoners. Several wear T-shirts with photos of detained Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The monks also prayed for peace in Burma. They are marking two years since Burma's military government (violently) put down a Buddhist monk-led democracy movement killing at least 31 people. A few demonstrators are dressed as soldiers and pretend to be the protesters with rolled-up newspapers. Human Rights Watch said in a report this week that about 240 Buddhist monks are still in prison in Burma while thousands have been forcedly disrobed or are under constant government (surveillance). This week, the U.S. Sectary of State Hillary Clinton said while keeping sanctions in place, Washington would begin engaging with Burma's rulers. Daniel Schearf, VOA News. Bangkok. A group of 97 elderly South Koreans crossed into North Korea Saturday for short (reunions) with family members split by the Korean War more than 50 years ago. I'm Gloria Gibson, VOA News.
