Spiderman (Alain Robert) tawan bangunan tertinggi dunia

27 Mac 2011 Spiderman Alain Robert scaled the world’s tallest building lit up by spotlights...as a large crowd looked on. It probably took a little longer than the elevator. But after six hours, 14 minutes and 55 seconds, the Frenchman reached his goal, half a mile above the United Arab Emirates.

‘It was a very big moment in my life,’ said Mr Robert, 48, whose penchant for climbing skyscrapers has earned him the nickname Spiderman. But although he made his very public ascent up the 2,717ft Burj Khalifa tower look easy, it was almost brought to an untimely halt, he revealed. He had climbed up a central column to just 45ft from the top when he was hit by crippling thigh cramps.

Only determination saw him through. ‘I knew that it was nearly done, so there was no way to stop,’ he explained.

As a crowd watched from below, he inched up the 160-floor building. Finally, Mr Robert reached the top of the antenna just after midnight. The climber, who is often arrested after his stunts, even deigned to use a safety harness this time – not part of his usual climbing attire. ‘It was a requirement from the government,’ he said. ‘I would have loved to do it differently, but I knew it was not possible.’

And he easily broke the nine-hour record for the fastest Burj climb. ‘I initially thought it would take between six to nine hours. It took me by surprise that I could make it quite fast.’

After such a feat, it was only a shock he took the lift down...

The 48-year-old from Digoin, Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne, has now scaled all of the world's tallest buildings. In 2004 he climbed up Taipei 101 in Taipei, which measures 1,667ft, on the day it opened. He had three tries at the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The first and second attempts, in 1997 and 2007 respectively, he was arrested on the 60th floor. In 2009 he managed to slip the guards and scaled the 1,483ft building. In 1999 Robert managed to reach the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago, which measures 1,453ft

How high? Spiderman climbed the 2,717ft building, and - as per the organisers' instructions - had a rope to assist him

On top of the world: Frenchman Alain Robert took about six hours to reach the top of the Buri Khalifa in Dubai, and reached the top of the tallest building in the world just after midnight

In the swing of things: Robert takes a breather and takes in the wonderful skyline of Dubai

  

Daredevil: Unlike his many previous climbs, the 48-year-old used a rope and harness to comply with organizers' requirements in the Gulf sheikdom

Long way up: Alain Robert began his ascent of the 2,717-tall Burj Khalifa just before sunset and said before he began that he expected his climb to take six or seven hours

Gaddafi yang Salah Perhitungan

28 Mac 2011 Tidak sampai seminggu lepas dia berkata, rakyat Libya pun bangun hingga berjaya menguasai sebahagian bandar besar di Libya kecuali di Tripoli. Gaddafi rupanya sudah tertipu dengan rakyatnya sendiri. Ketika dia menyangka rakyat Libya menyayanginya, rupanya sebahagian besar dari mereka membencinya.

Ketika kebanyakan kota besar jatuh ke tangan pemberontak, dia masih memberitahu rakyat Libya dan penduduk dunia, rakyat Libya masih menyayanginya. Yang ramai membantah itu, mengikutnya,  adalah orang yang dihasut oleh Al-Qaedah.

Dia pura-pura percaya rakyat bersamanya ketika dia hanya masih menguasai Tripoli.

Ghaddafi tertekan, Pemberontak kuasai sebahagian besar Libya

Libyan rebels are moving westwards towards a possible showdown with government forces loyal to the country's embattled leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Opposition forces backed by coalition air strikes have already seized control of the key towns of Bin Jawad, Ras Lanuf, Uqayla, Brega and Ajdabiya in a rapid advance along the coastline.

Meanwhile, the next town in the rebels' path, Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, was reported to be under attack by coalition warplanes for the first time late on Sunday, according to Libyan state television. Coalition air strikes against targets in Tripoli also resumed on Sunday night with explosions heard in the Libyan capital.

Al Jazeera's James Bays has been following the rebel offensive which has seen them claim a string of towns and key oil facilities since Friday. Our correspondent said Gaddafi's forces appeared to be withdrawing eastwards. Those still in Bin Jawad, the latest town to fall to rebels, surrendered without a fight, Bays said.

"It seems there has a been withdrawal and a surrender of Gaddafi forces, not a battle," Bays said. "They removed some of their vehicles that were not bombed further up the road but they removed these vehicles in haste."

Rebels were intent on pressing onwards in the direction of Tripoli, Bays said, but Sirte presents a major obstacle. "There is only one plan. That is to head on, head west up this road," our correspondent said. "There really is only one coastal road and that is the road to Tripoli. The problem they are going to face is the huge roadblock ahead of us and that's Sirte, a Gaddafi stronghold where many of his troops are based."

Pemberontak Libya tawan kembali bandar Ajdabiya

26 Mac 2011 (AlJazeera) Libyan rebels are celebrating the recapture of the strategic eastern town of Ajdabiya from government control, our correspondent there reports. "There is no doubt about it, you can probably hear some of the celebrations behind me, Ajdabiya is in opposition hands," Al Jazeera's James Bays said from the city on Saturday as celebratory gunfire rang out.

"Gaddafi forces have been controlling the ring road that goes around Ajdabiya ... that has been the situation for six days, but they have now been cleared from that position." "The opposition forces tell me there may be some pro-Gaddafi forces hiding, snipers possibly on buildings, they are telling us to take care," he said, but he added that Ajdabiya was "firmly back under the control of opposition fighters".

But Libyan government officials said that the army had withdrawn to save residents from more bloodshed. Rebel forces had initially captured Ajdabiya during an advance along Libya's east coast that was halted and reversed in a counter-offensive by government forces backed by superior air power earlier this month. But coalition airstrikes have tipped the balance back towards the rebels, Bays said.

Rebel fighters were now reportedly on their way to the key oil port town of Brega, where Gaddafi forces have retreated, witnesses said. "The road is open beyond Ajdabiya, and [the rebels] are heading, streaming along that road ... they are on the road and they are moving forward," Bays reported.

On Friday, western warplanes bombed Gaddafi's tanks and artillery outside the town to break the battlefield stalemate and help rebels retake the town. Many fighters belonging to forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi were also taken hostage by rebels.

Rantaian tentera Gaddafi di luar Benghazi musnah dibom

Burnt out tanks and cars belonging to forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi today littered the road between Benghazi and Ajdabiyah. The RAF proclaimed the start of hostilities a success just hours after British and American warships unleashed cruise missiles against Libya as the world finally lost patience with the dictator.

Tornado jets, submarines and stealth bombers fired 112 Tomahawk missiles and dropped explosives on 20 coastal locations as Gaddafi's men tried to take control of rebel-held Benghazi. Stormshadow missiles were launched from GR4 fast jets which had flown 3,000 miles from RAF Marham in Norfolk and back - the longest range bombing since the Falklands. British Prime Minister, David Cameron today pronounced the action was 'legal and right'.

Colonel Gaddafi today branded the allied attacks 'terrorism' and Libyan officials said that 64 people had been killed as a result of the aerial bombardment. He also said that Libyan forces on the ground would be victorious, adding he would never leave the country and claimed to be arming a million people to defend him and the capital, Tripoli. A Royal Navy Trafalgar-class submarine stationed in the Mediterranean took part in the co-ordinated assault, which also involved forces from the U.S., France, Italy and Canada under the operational control of US Africa Command.

A British nuclear-powered submarine was among the vessels in the Mediterranean that targeted Gaddafi’s defences near Tripoli and the town of Misurata. The assault was led by the United States, which also has Tomahawk-equipped submarines in the region.

Berjuang Tidak Sekadar Berpilihanraya

"Jangan kecewa dan melatah kerana kalah pilihanraya. Usah resah berdepan fitnah dan tohmahan musuh.
Segera selesaikan masaalah yang dihadapi oleh jamaah. Bantu dan beri kepercayaan kepada pemimpin yang dipilih. Hidupkan budaya tegur dan nasihat namun beradab.
Pamerkan akhlak Islami kepada kawan dan lawan. Asaskan tindakan berpandu wahyu dan sunnah. Senantiasa berfikir dan merangka strategi.  Santuni masyarakat dan menangi hati mereka".

Libya: Tentera Ghadafi lancar serang balas terbesar

Hundreds of rebel fighters have retreated from the strategic oil port of Ras Lanouf as Muammar Gaddafi's army pounds the town with artillery. The rebels fled eastward in cars and pickup trucks mounted with machine guns.
One said government forces were raining rockets or tank shells on the city in what appeared to be preparation for a full-scale advance. Shells fell near a city hospital and hit a series of residential buildings as Gaddafi's tanks moved further along Libya's main Mediterranean coastal road than they have been since the rebels seized most of the country's east. An opposition fighter with a Kalashnikov rifle said he had fled the frontline outside Ras Lanouf.

NATO defence ministers met in Brussels today to discuss the escalating crisis. Britain had been pushing for a no-fly zone over Libya but after hours of talks, members concluded that the action would not be taken without a unanimous UN resolution.

Ghadafi lantang dalam suasana cemas

Wed. 9 Mac 2011 Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's embattled leader, has once again alleged involvement of foreigners in the rebellion against his more than 41-year-old rule.

In an address on State TV , Gaddafi warned of a plot to colonise Libya. As proof, he said his security forces had captured several foreigners during a raid on Monday.
His focus this time was on alleging that foreign influence was driving the rebel movement in this country, and he warned of the potential for colonisation of Libya. As proof, he said his security forces have captured several foreigners during one raid on Tuesday."
"Yesterday, the mosque that the security forces regained power over, they had in this mosque, they had weapons and alcohol has well. Some of them come from Afghanistan, some of them come from Egypt, some of them come from Algeria, just to misguide our children alleging that foreign influence was driving the rebel movement in this country, and he warned of the potential for colonisation of Libya. As proof, he said his security forces have captured several foreigners during one raid on Tuesday.

Libya: Jemput penyamun untuk menentang penyangak

Al-Hujurat ayat 9

Dan apabila ada dua golongan orang mukmin berperang, maka damaikanlah antara keduanya. Jika salah satu dari keduanya berbuat zalim terhadap (golongan) yang lain, maka perangilah (golongan) itu kembali kepada perintah Allah. Jika golongan itu telah kembali (kepada perintah Allah), maka damaikanlah antara keduanya dengan adil, dan berlakulah adil. Sesungghnya Allah mencintai orang-orang yang berlaku adil.

Sengketa dan peperangan sesama umat Islam Libya sehingga kini semakin hebat dengan kematian dan kemusnahan antara dua pihak sesama Islam terus meningkat. Mana kelibat Pertubuhan Negara-negara Islam (OIC) dan suara-suara dari pemimpin Negara Islam yang mahu menjadi pihak perantaraan untuk mendamaikannya. Terkini Amerika yang sentiasa mengintai peluang untuk campur-tangan dan menjajahi megara Islam, mencadangannya supaya Arab Saudi memberi senjata kepada pemberontak Libya hanya menambahkan parah dan kemusnahan umat islam. 

Maka diibaratkan 'menjemput penyamun untuk menentang penyangak'!

Farahana Jamaludin... macam SIAL!

KUALA LUMPUR 5 Mac - Imej Mursyidul Am Pas, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat boleh disamakan dengan pengamal ajaran sesat, Ayah Pin kerana menjadikan agama sebagai alat untuk menguasai pemikiran pengikutnya. Pengarah Kebangsaan Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM), Farahana Jamaludin berkata, kedua-dua pemimpin tersebut mempunyai persamaan kerana mengaburi mata pengikutnya demi memuaskan segala nafsu mereka.

"Mereka boleh melakukan apa sahaja tanpa boleh ditegur oleh pengikutnya kerana 'kesucian' mereka itu," katanya kepada Mingguan Malaysia di sini hari ini. Beliau mengulas kenyataan Menteri Besar Kelantan itu semalam bahawa Pas akan terus menggunakan isu agama dalam kempen pilihan raya kerana perbuatan itu merupakan sebahagian kerja dakwah seperti yang dilakukan oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW.

Nik Abdul Aziz turut menyifatkan mana-mana mufti yang menolak untuk mengaitkan amalan mengundi sewaktu pilihan raya dengan hukum syurga dan neraka sebagai mufti yang layak mengeluarkan fatwa di negara komunis sahaja. Jelas Farahana, kenyataan Nik Abdul Aziz itu menunjukkan sikap angkuh serta mengangkat dirinya ke suatu martabat yang begitu tinggi.

Tambahnya, perbuatan biadab tersebut juga merupakan contoh kepada kepimpinan ala Ayah Pin yang menganggap dirinya nabi pada zaman ini. "Justeru, saya mencabar Nik Abdul Aziz supaya menjelaskan mengenai agendanya untuk memperkenalkan Islam kepada ahli DAP dan seterusnya merancang mengislamkan mereka dalam masa terdekat," ujarnya.

Libya: Senjata berat diguna terhadap kumpulan anti kerajaan

Frustration: Anti-Gaddafi protesters during prayers in Benghazi. Britain is to send teams of spies and diplomats into Libya to help oust Colonel Gaddafi

5 Mac 2011 Libya (AP) Witnesses say Moammar Gadhafi's forces have broken through rebel defenses at an opposition-held city that is closest to the Libyan capital, Tripoli. They said the forces loyal to the regime of the country's longtime leader were inside Zawiya, 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Tripoli, after overcoming rebel positions with heavy mortar shelling and machinegun fire.

The rattle of gunfire and explosions could be heard as the witnesses spoke to The Associated Press by phone. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for their safety. They say several fires are raging in Zawiya on Saturday.
4 Mac 2011 TRIPOLI,  Moammar Gadhafi's regime struck back at its opponents with a powerful attack Friday on the closest opposition-held city to Tripoli and a barrage of tear gas and live ammunition to smother new protests in the capital. At least 37 people died in fighting and in an explosion at an ammunitions depot in Libya's rebellious east.

Krisis Libya lakonan Ghadafi dan Obama

Krisis Libya semakin meruncing. Amerika mengambil peluang untuk menjadikan Libya menjadi negerinya yang ke 53 selepas Iraq dan Afghanistan. Benarkah Amerika ingin menolong rakyat Libya dari kejahatan Muammar Gaddafi? Atau benarkah Gaddafi begitu bencikan Amerika ?

Sejarah merekodkan bahawa mana-mana pemimpin Arab mempunyai "tuhan"nya sendiri samada Amerika ataupun USSR(sebelum kejatuhan komunis). Selepas kejatuhan USSR, negara Arab yang pro USSR mula mengalih kiblat untuk "menyembah tuhan yang baru" iaitu Amerika. Ini kerana Amerika menjadi Kuasa Tunggal (world police).

Negara yang pro USSR seperti Iraq, Libya dan Syria mula berbaik dengan Amerika. Cumanya Saddam Husein(Iraq) yang menjadi khadam Amerika ketika Perang Iran-Iraq mula "lawan taukeh" yang menyebabkan Amerika berang dan menjajahnya hingga kini. Syria dan Libya sudah mula secara "perlahan-lahan" menukar kiblat "menyembah" Amerika.

Lihatlah Syria mula berlembut dengan Israel. Manakala Gadaffi bukan saja asyik dengan wanita-wanita cantik Itali bahkan mula berkenyit mata dengan Israel. Jika Amerika menyerang Libya ianya adalah mengikut "skrip" arahan bersama Libya dan Amerika. Percayalah.

Amerika belajar dari krisis Mesir. Betapa jatuhnya Mubarak tanpa pertempuran dahsyat dan "sedikit darah" mengalir di bumi Mesir satu "kerugian" bagi pihak Amerika kerana tentera Amerika tiada alasan untuk masuk campur. Lebih-lebih lagi Amerika melihat penglibatan Ikhwanul Muslimin dalam demostrasi Mesir yang begitu tertib, teratur dan damai. Mana ada pimpinan Ikhwan mengarah menyerang tentera atau jadikan tentera sebagai musuh.

Lihat reaksi Gaddafi ketika demostrasi mula berlaku. Beliau mengatakan Libya dalam bahaya kerana ancaman "pelampau Islam" (Al-Qaeda). Tetapi tuduhan beliau tidak berkesan bahkan menaikkan lagi bilangan rakyat turun ke jalanraya. Sebenarnya tuduhan Gaddafi itu adalah cara "menarik minat" Amerika untuk menjajah Libya. Mengambil pengalaman Mesir dan Tunisia, Gaddafi dan Amerika bersatu untuk mengekang pengaruh Ikhwanul Muslimin dari merebak ke Libya.

Jika ianya berlaku, satu lagi ancaman bahaya buat Israel. Jatuhnya Gaddafi setelah Ben Ali dan Mubarak melengkapkan geografi Afrika Utara menjadi Kuasa Baru buat umat Islam dan mendekatkan lagi jarak perjalanan menuju Masjidil Aqsa.

Bagi mencegah agar peristiwa di Tunisia dan Mesir tidak berulang, Amerika perlu menyerang Libya bagi mengalih tumpuan rakyat Libya daripada menentang Gaddafi kepada bersatu menentang Amerika. Sebab itulah Obama dan Gaddafi perlu berlakon untuk menjayakan "filem hebat" ini !" Episod-episod telah dan sedang kita saksikan sekarang!

Gaddafi: Hapus saya bermaksud jatuh maruah rakyat Libya

Gaddafi said that the world did not understand the Libyan system that puts power in the hands of the people
2 Mac 2011 Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has said that he is not a president and so cannot resign his position, and that power is in the hands of the people, during a televised public rally in the capital, Tripoli. "Muammar Gaddafi is not a president to resign, he does not even have a parliament to dissolve," Gaddafi said on Wednesday, his third public appearance since the uprising, surrounded by dozens of supporters in a large ballroom for a ceremony to mark 34 years of "people power".

"Attacks on me are seen by Libyan people as attacks on their symbol and dignity.

Pilihan damai, Libya terbahagi dua?

2 Mac 2011 Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, are reported to have regained control of two strategic towns in the country's northwest, even as opposition fighters in the east prepare to march on the capital, Tripoli. The claims about the fall of Gharyan and Sabratha on Wednesday came as fighting raged between pro- and anti-government forces over the control of the eastern town of Brega, the headquarters of several oil companies, and Gaddafi appeared on state television once again.

"They tried to take Brega this morning, but they failed," Mustafa Gheriani, a spokesman for the February 17th Coalition, an anti-government group, told the Reuters news agency. "It is back in the hands of the revolutionaries. He is trying to create all kinds of psychological warfare to keep these cities on edge."




Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Bengazi, Libya's second largest city now controlled by rebels, described the situation in the Brega region as fluid. " I think it's fair to say that here is a fair amount of fighting going on in that area," she said.

Kuasa besar intai peluang di zon perang Libya

Western powers are weighing the military option against Libya's Muammar Gaddafi with US ships being moved to waters closer to Libya and more calls being made for a "no-fly zone" over the North African country. Russia has however described the no-fly zone idea as "superfluous" and along with France cautioned against moving militarily against Gaddafi without UN authorisation.

“At the moment it seems that the international community is not speaking with one voice on this issue, so in the meantime we will have to wait to see how this plays out,” Al Jazeera’s John Terrett, reporting from Washington, said. While Jay Carney, a White House spokesman, said on Tuesday that the ships are being moved in order to prepare for contingencies of a chiefly humanitarian nature, he was quick to add that "we aren't taking any options off the table."

Two US amphibious assault ships, the USS Kearsarge, which can carry 2,000 marines, and the USS Ponce, will pass through Egypt's Suez Canal on Wednesday morning, an Egyptian official said on Tuesday. David Cameron, the British prime minister, on his part said the international community cannot let Gaddafi "murder" his own people, as he justified considerations for a no-fly zone.

Eksklusif: Rakyat Libya sayangkan saya

28 Feb 2011, I interviewed Col. Moammar Gadhafi this evening, when he told me he could not step down because he is not a president or king, and denied there were demonstrations against him anywhere in Libya.
"They love me. All my people with me, they love me," he said. "They will die to protect me, my people."
We conducted the interview at a beachfront restaurant in the Corniche, a coastal road on Tripoli's Mediterranean coast. Dressed in his flowing trademark robes and gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, Gadhafi looked every inch the flamboyant character he's known to be. The longtime leader, who didn't seem to be surrounded by huge amounts of security, seemed relaxed and focused. Walking unabashedly into the restaurant, Gadhafi wanted to show he's not hiding in any underground bunker and that he believes he's still very much in charge.
