纽约一家联邦法庭星期二对盖拉尼提出了286项指控。这些指控跟1998年美国驻肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚使馆发生的爆炸案有关。他还被控担任过基地组织领导人本.拉登的保镖，并善于伪造文件。
根据国防部的法庭文字记录，盖拉尼早先曾表示他事前并不知道将发生那两起爆炸案。

台湾总统马英九将参选国民党主席
马英九说：“稍早，吴伯雄主席在中常委上已经宣布，不再竞选连任党主席，我要在这里郑重宣布，我准备参选中国国民党下一任的党主席，希望在党员同志的支持下，再度领导这个曾经建立中华民国，保卫中华民国，建设中华民国的民主政党，继续推动党的改革与团结。”
由于北京不承认台湾总统职务，在马英九没有国民党主席身份下，无法直接与中国官方用党对党方式进行交流。
美国拟明确“核保护伞” 转变对朝政策加强施压

帕劳愿接收在押的中国籍维吾尔人
帕劳总统托里比昂6月10日发表声明说，帕劳同意“暂时”接收这些维族被拘押者。
美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿曾致函托里比昂总统，游说对方接收维族被拘押者。
助理国务卿弗里德上周曾以特使身份出访澳大利亚和帕劳。据称他在帕劳期间曾与托里比昂会面。弗里德正是受命处理关塔那摩湾基地被拘押者的安置工作，负责游说各国接收他们。
帕劳与台湾有外交关系。
金正日前厨师点评金氏三子
金正日很早就有意培养金正云为接班人，二哥金正哲个性太温和柔软，两人之间不会出现权力斗争。金正男金正日家完全隔绝。
金正日对两个儿子没有差别待遇，但有一次在干部们面前说：‘正哲的心软不行，正云就像我。’，这番话透露了他（金正日）的心思。”
“由于金正云偷偷跟我一起抽烟，有一次问我：‘我每天在海边玩jet skiing（水上摩托车）或到外面骑马、轮滑等，不知道一般老百姓是怎么生活？’当时他才18岁，突然向我提出老百姓的生活问题，让我感到很惊讶。”
“有一天晚上，他约我出来喝酒。我发现他旁边的相册里有几天前我们一起拍的照片。我说要那张，但他从相册中另外抽出11岁时的照片给我。当时他强调，不准对外公开。但我还是公开了。”
“最后一次见金正云是2001年4月22日。他跟平常一样，听到我要去日本，就给我1万5000美元的费用，并说：‘等你平安回来。’”
中国消费价格连续五个月下降
中国消费价格5月份连续第4个月下降，同时规模庞大的中国经济继续受到全球金融危机的打击。中国国家统计局星期三宣布，中国的消费价格指数5月份比去年同期下降1.4%。中国4月份的消费价格指数比去年同期下降1.5%，3月份和2月份分别比去年同期下降1.2%和1.6%。在全球经济危机爆发之前，中国经济保持两位数增长，而中国政府最关注的问题是减缓经济增长速度。中国的价格下降包括消费品、食品和房地产。作为消费价格指数重要组成部分的食品价格5月份下降0.6%。不过，这一降幅小于4月份的1.3%。中国5月份的批发物价比去年同期下降7.2%。
伊朗新总统本周五诞生
伊朗选民将在本星期五投票选出新总统。两名呼声最高的候选人，现任总统艾哈迈迪内贾德，以及改革派前总理穆萨维，将尽最后的努力争夺总统宝座。
伊朗选举委员会主席日前表示，这届选举的投票率相信会是历来最高的一次。据报道，在4620万个合格选民中，近一半是在1979年伊斯兰革命之后出世的新一代。
分析员说，合格选民当中，有一半属“沉默选民”，他们通常反对强硬派人士。如果投票人数只达到选民总人数的一半，就将有利于内贾德。但如果投票人数超过一半，达到了3500万人，他将大难临头。
中科院：2050年中国经济总量将达到世界首位
中国科学院在十日发布的二0五0年科技发展路线图中预测，二0五0年，中国经济总量将达到世界首位。

澳大利亚6月份消费信心指数升幅创22年最高
澳大利亚西太平洋银行和墨尔本研究院10日联合发布的调查结果显示，澳大利亚6月份消费信心指数上升至100.1，比前一个月上升12.7%，创该指数22年来最大升幅。
西太银行首席经济分析师比尔·埃文斯认为，澳大利亚2009年第一季度国内生产总值小幅上升0.4%，使澳经济免于陷入衰退，这是推动消费信心指数上升的重要因素。但他同时说，澳大利亚经济依然疲软，消费者可能过早表露了乐观情绪。
据西太银行预测，未来两个季度，由于澳大利亚净出口的上涨态势可能会发生逆转，澳大利亚经济可能再次面对衰退威胁。净出口对该国2009年第一季度GDP增长的贡献率为2.2%。
Russia, US may reduce nuclear warheads to 1,500 each
Russia and the United States may reduce the
number of their nuclear warheads to 1,500 each, Commander of the
Russian Strategic Missile Troops Colonel-General Nikolai Solovtsov
said on Wednesday. “Russia and the United States may reduce the
number of their nuclear warheads to 1,500 each. But this will depend
from a decision of the military and political leadership of the
countries,” he said.
Car bomb rips through south Iraq market, 32 killed
Police locked down Al Bathaa, a Shia Muslim town
30 km west of Nassariya that has seen little
violence, while hospital officials appealed for
assistance from neighbouring cities to help them
cope with the wounded. Colonel Aziz al-Atabi,
media director for the Iraqi army's 10th
division, said 32 people had been killed and 70
wounded.
Death Toll in Pakistan Bomb Now 16
Pakistan puts down 70 militants in NWFP
Pakistani forces have killed
at least 70 militants over two days of clashes in the Bannu
district of the volatile North-West Frontier Province (NWFP).

Iraq Moves Ahead With Vote on U.S. Security Pact
The Iraqi government is pressing ahead with plans to hold
a national referendum on the Iraqi-American security
agreement — a measure likely to lose if put to a popular
vote with the outcome that American troops could be forced
to leave as early as next summer, nearly a year and half
ahead of schedule.
American diplomats are quietly
lobbying the government not to hold
the referendum, but so far Iraqi
politicians have decided to go ahead
with it to avoid appearing to be in
the pocket of the Americans in an
election year.
Barak urges PM to endorse 2 states
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday
called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to publicly embrace the
Road Map and accept US President Barack Obama's Middle East peace
initiative. "You know the government is made up of several parties.
Our party, the Labor party, joined the government, among other
reasons, because we agreed that this government will abide by all
agreements made by previous governments. That's why we think we
should clearly state that we commend President Obama's initiative,
that we are committed to the Road Map and that we want two states
for two peoples, all this without compromising on our security
concerns."
Israel zeroes in on Obama's 2-year deadline
With US President Barack Obama having allegedly set
a two-year deadline for the formation of a
Palestinian homeland, Tel Aviv moves to bring the US
plan under question.
Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon on
Tuesday floated the idea that the quest for a
Palestinian state is not likely to bear fruit for
around five years -- which is well after President
Obama leaves the White House.
Faced with global criticism over its policies
against the natives of the land, the Israeli
government has snubbed US calls for the
establishment of a Palestinian state as well as
requests for a freeze in Israeli settlement
activities in Palestinian territories.
In an address at the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy, Yaalon claimed that the "instant peace"
plan sought by Obama may lead to the establishment
of "Hamastan" in the West Bank.
Yaalon insisted that the Israeli occupation and
settlement activities do not constitute major
obstacles to peace and blamed the Israeli failure to
relinquish control of Palestinian lands in the past
sixty years on Palestinians who "do not accept that
the two state solution".
"In their view, one state should be the Palestinian
state and the national identity of the other state
should remain undefined, so that in the future it
can become a Palestinian state as well," he claimed.
The speech comes at a time that an unprecedented
rift has been developed between the US and Israel
since the new government in Tel Aviv rejected the
road map agreement.
Although the US image has been marred as a result of
its decades of unrelenting support for Israeli
aggression, Tel Aviv has accused the incumbent
president in the White House of meddling in its
internal affairs.
Yaalon also proposed that a different "road map" be
adopted for the realization of peace.
"We believe that an almost exclusively top down
approach that characterizes the way the Palestinian
issue was handled under the Oslo and Annapolis
processes should be replaced by a determined
performance based, bottom up approach that
characterizes the road map," he said.
US: No intention to invade North Korea
President Barack Obama's special envoy issued
a plea for renewed international dialogue and explicitly ruled out
any military action against the communist country. "North Korea's
recent actions to develop a nuclear and intercontinental ballistic
missile capacity require that we expand our consideration of new
responses, including our force posture and extended deterrence
options," Bosworth said.
N. Korea: US may provoke nuclear war in Peninsula
North Korean media hints that a US pledge to extend its
nuclear umbrella to Japan and South Korea would be
considered as 'declaration of a nuclear war' in the troubled
peninsula.
The commentary, which first appeared in the official
newspaper of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea on
Wednesday, strongly condemned the expansion of the nuclear
umbrella in Southeast Asia.
Senior officials in Washington have said that the US will do
what it deems necessary for the security of its allies in
the troubled region.
The US already maintains a nuclear umbrella over South
Korea. The security measure was taken after the Korean War
ended in 1953. However, there has never been a written
agreement over the umbrella.
The commentary also called US President Obama's vision for a
world without nuclear weapons as "falsehood."
"If the United States seriously wants nuclear disarmament,
it should set an example by carrying it out itself."
