阿富汗选举结果10天后揭晓
阿富汗财政部长扎克尔沃西星期一声称现任总统卡尔扎伊赢得68%的选票，获得绝对胜利。但是卡尔扎伊主要竞选对手前外长阿卜杜拉的发言人拒绝接受这种说法。在安全方面，美国军方最高官员表示，阿富汗局势很“严重而且正在恶化”，塔利班武装的战术越来越复杂。
伊朗审判更多抗议人士
据伊朗媒体报道，伊朗开始第四次集体审判被控涉入6月12日艾哈迈迪内贾德总统连任后骚乱的人。被告人中有几名主要改革派人士，包括伊朗前内政部副部长、前副外长、以及一位前政府发言人。伊朗本月早些时候审判了28名以上的被关押者。自从伊朗总统选举之后，伊朗已经通过集体审判起诉了130多人。被告人包括高层政界人物、一名法国老师、以及英国和法国大使馆的伊朗籍雇员。
巴基斯坦逮捕13恐怖嫌犯
巴基斯坦警方逮捕了13名阴谋在全国展开袭击行动的恐怖嫌犯，其中7人所属的组织和卡伊达有关联。他们策划袭击商业中心卡拉奇，另一些人则计划在斋戒月期间展开大规模攻击。警方也在这次行动中查获大约2公斤海洛因。由于邻国阿富汗境内种植大量罂栗，塔利班和极端组织被指以罂栗提炼的鸦片和海洛因牟利，为武装分子筹集资金。
泰国南部爆炸，42人受伤
分离主义反政府分子的人星期二在南部一间的餐厅外引爆汽车炸弹，炸伤至少42人。有关官员说，这枚炸弹藏在一辆小货车上，在午餐时间在那拉提瓦市中心引爆。自从分离主义暴动5年前在南部的那拉提瓦府、北大年府和也拉府爆发后，已经有大约3700人丧生。
泰总理援用安全法对付抗议活动
泰国总理星期二警告说，他会使用泰国严厉的国内安全法来对付反政府组织“红杉军”计划星期天在曼谷举行的大规模抗议活动。逃亡中的前总理他信的支持者准备在星期天举行集会，迫使总理维乍集瓦解散政府并举行选举。维乍集瓦告诉记者说，他的内阁星期二同意在下星期六到9月1日期间使用国内安全法来防止抗议人士占据主要政府设施。这个法令将允许保安部队施行宵禁，并在被视为对国家安全有害的情形下限制行动自由。维乍集瓦说，情报显示，红杉军想制造类似今年四月为期两天的那种暴力骚乱，当时反对派抗议人士包围政府大厦，扰乱重要的亚洲峰会，并且在曼谷市区横冲直撞。
朝暗邀博斯沃思访朝 美希望在六方会谈框架内对话
朝鲜当局在前总统克林顿的访朝前后，曾邀请博斯沃思和六方会谈美方代表团团长金成访问朝鲜。美方接到朝方邀请之后，讨论是否由博斯沃思访朝，但尚未作出最后决定。若博斯沃思接受朝方邀请访问朝鲜，将促成奥巴马政府上台后朝美之间的第一次正式会谈。尽管朝方希望与美国直接对话，但美国坚持在六方会谈框架内进行双边对话的立场，因此会不会接受朝方邀请，还是未知数。

马来西亚总理纳吉布呼吁女模特上诉推翻鞭刑惩罚
纳吉布星期二在记者会上说，舒卡诺应该向有关当局提出申诉，而不应该自愿接受处罚。纳吉布还说，有关当局对这个处罚的影响很敏感。女模特舒卡诺上个月被一家宗教法庭判处鞭刑六下和罚金1400美元。她星期一早些时候被送到吉隆坡郊外的监狱接受刑罚，但宗教事务部门称她要接受的鞭刑将在拉马丹斋月之后执行。穆斯林斋月从星期六开始，一直持续到九月中旬。
日众院选举反对党料大胜
日本大选形势对反对党越来越有利，昨天出炉的民调显示，原本摇摆不定的游移选民当中，有43%已决定把票投给民主党，只有15.8%会支持自民党。日本共同社的民调也显示，向来支持自民党的选民，有四分之一这回将把票投给反对党，显示民主党将在本星期天举行的众议院选举中取得压倒性胜利，其得票率预计将比自民党高出三倍。

中国股市收低 对银行业的担忧情绪升温
中国股市周二收盘大幅下挫，结束了连续三个交易日的涨势，因市场担心银行业或许需要发行新股来满足更加严格的资本金要求。
分析师称，银行类股遭遇抛售是市场对浦发银行公告的自然反应。公告称，中国证券监管机构已经批准了该行筹资至多人民币300亿元的计划；所筹资金将用于充实营运资本和业务扩张。监管机构批准该计划的消息传出之际，市场正对银行业健康状况日益感到忧虑。银监会正计划将银行交叉持有的次级债从其资本中扣除。由于投资者人气依然低迷，浦发银行的融资计划可能会进一步吸走市场上已经十分紧张的流动性。
不过，分析师们表示，股市短期的跌势可能有限，因为预计中国政府不会做任何事来破坏仍很脆弱的经济复苏势头。政府网站周一公告称，中国国务院总理温家宝表示，外部需求疲软可能会延续较长时间，而一些短期政策的效应有可能逐步递减，这暗示，政府当局不太可能大举退出旨在支持经济增长的货币宽松与财政刺激举措。国元证券策略师王骁敏称，周二的下跌仅仅意味著股市的回调还没有结束；这不是一件坏事，因为如果市场人气在10月1日到来前升温并推动股价反弹的话，那么股市会拥有更大的上升动能。
摩根大通看好A股走势 料沪指年底将冲上4000点
摩根大通董事总经理兼中国证券和大宗商品主席李晶24日再度对A股表示乐观，指由于内地经济基本面和企业盈利均表现较好，故相信内地股市仅会“短期震荡盘整”，下半年整体而言仍将保持上扬趋势，预计今年年底到明年初上证指数将可上冲4000点水平。
至于内地楼市，李晶指前一段楼价的攀升加剧了市场对资产泡沫的担忧，但银行紧缩第二套房贷等政策出台后，楼价已经有所调整，泡沫现象得以改善，再加上市场的刚性需求仍较大，因此对其前景“不需要担心”。她并预料，若内地开发商不加快推盘，明年楼市有可能出现供应短缺的现象。
Iraqi Shiite Leaders Create Alliance, Minus Maliki
Iraq’s top Shiite political leaders gathered in a sweltering hotel ballroom here on Monday and announced a new alliance, a new name and a new platform. Absent was the country’s most prominent Shiite political leader, Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki.
Mr. Maliki’s refusal to join the alliance, after weeks of negotiations behind the scenes, intensified a bitter political struggle over the leadership of the country’s largest sect ahead of parliamentary elections in January.
It reflected the country’s deeply fractured politics, as well as dueling efforts by the United States and Iran to influence them. The two countries, each powerful in different ways, have lobbied for divergent visions of a new Iraq: a broadly nonsectarian society versus one that places political power almost entirely in the hands of the country’s long-oppressed Shiites.
The creation of a Shiite alliance without him made it clear that Mr. Maliki, prime minister since 2006, had not yet secured the support of his most important bloc of voters, raising questions about whether he can be assured of winning a second term. At the same time, Mr. Maliki’s absence left the new alliance without the support of a leader who remains generally popular.
Al-Qaida Claims Iraq Bombings
Al-Qaida's umbrella group in Iraq on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the bombings of government ministries in Baghdad last week that killed more than 100 people and left hundreds wounded.
In Iran court, dissolution of reform fronts is sought
In a follow-up to the post-election mass trials of opposition activists and protestors, Iran puts aides to former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami and top Reformist figures in the dock.
The fourth session of the revolutionary court held on Tuesday dealt with former officials from the administration of leading Reformist figure Khatami -- including former deputy economy minister Mohsen Safaie-Farahani, former deputy interior minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, former deputy foreign minister Mohsen Aminzadeh and Reformist activists Mohsen Mirdamadi and Abdollah Ramezanzadeh.
Saaed Hajjarian, a former deputy intelligence minister who is known for architecting Iran's Reform movement, was also among the accused. Hajjarian has been in custody for more than 2 months despite his serious health condition.
Behzad Nabavi, a top Reformist figure and former minister in the government of Ahmadinejad's main presidential election rival Mir-Hossein Mousavi after the 1979 revolution, and Iranian-American scholar Kian Tajbakhsh were also on trial.
Member of Iran's Islamic Participation Front and Reformist journalist Hamidreza Jalaeipour and leading Reformist journalist Saeed Leylaz were also present at the court session.
Mohammad Ghoochani, chief editor of Etemad-e-Melli (National Trust) daily belonging to another opposition figure Mehdi Karroubi, was also put in the dock.
Mohammad-Reza Jalaei, Sadeq Norouzi, Hedayat Aqayi, Massoud Bastani, Hamzeh Ghalebi, Feizollah Arabsorkhi were among other Reformist figures present at Tuesday's court session.
The other defendants include Ali Tajernia, a former opposition lawmaker, Shahaboddin Tabatabaei, a leading figure in the country's largest Reformist party, and Ahmad Zeidabadi, a journalist who has written critically of the Islamic establishment.
During the legal proceeding in the morning session, prosecutors brought a new list of charges against the post-vote detainees.
The indictment read out by Tehran's Deputy Prosecutor Mehdi Sepehri, accused members of the Islamic Participation Front of taking steps to undermine the country's presidential election and its official results which granted a landslide victory to the incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Along with the Islamic Participation Front, the Islamic Revolution Mujahedeen Organization has been accused of "lying" and spreading "rumors of fraud in the election."
Citing examples of illegal activities carried out by the two political fronts in the country's post-vote frenzy, the revolutionary court called for both factions to be dissolved.
Sepehri claimed that an election head office in northern Tehran -- used by defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi -- had been used in various illegal activities, such as providing a base for the BBC's Persian TV service.
The prosecutor went on to say that on June 12's evening, as the vote process was underway, security forces raided the office which prompted the elements inside the building to "take hostage" some of the forces.
The statement by the court went on to describe the opposition as a "power-seeking defiant movement" which has "stood against the system and the majority vote of the people."
The prosecutor also went on to claim that evidence gathered from the Islamic Participation Front's office reveal that Hajjarian was the mastermind behind the alleged "soft coup" while Tajzadeh had entertained the idea of using "American weapons."
The prosecutor also implicated Mohammad-Reza Khatami, the former president's brother, of seeking "foreign support" for the alleged coup attempt.
During the session, meanwhile, certain defeated political groups were charged with having links to Western media and foreign embassies seeking to cause mayhem in the country.
The trials come as the official outcome of the June 12 presidential vote provoked unprecedented, widespread protests in Iran and opened a rare divide among the ruling elite.
The crackdown against the street demonstrations resulted in the arrest of thousands of opposition figures, protesters and journalists -- who have been accused of plotting to topple the government --- and the deaths of at least 30 people.
Iran has already staged mass trials of nearly 140 individuals on offences linked to widespread demonstrations that followed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hotly-disputed victory in the June election.
Following the controversial mass trials of post-vote detainees, the opposition announced that the confessions made at court had been forced.
The opposition and their supporters have also condemned the trials as a "sham" staged by supporters of the incumbent president.
Palestine seeks de facto state without Israel approval
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad says the authority will create a de facto Palestinian state without waiting for the result of peace talks with Israel.
Fayad said during a press conference in Ramallah on Tuesday that the PA government is determined to build state institutions within two years, Ynet reported.
"The Palestinian government is struggling determinedly against a hostile occupation regime ... in order to establish a de facto state apparatus within the next two years," he said.
The prime minister also called on Palestinians to be "united and steadfast in their determination to remain on their homeland, end the occupation and achieve their freedom and independence."
"The world should also know that we are not prepared to continue living under a brutal occupation and siege that flouts not only the law, but also the principles of natural justice and human decency," he concluded.
'Iran freezes no. of centrifuges enriching uranium at Natanz'
Iran's output of enriched uranium is stagnating, diplomats said Tuesday, suggesting that Teheran may be running short the material needed for producing nuclear fuel or the fissile core of warheads.
The diplomats - who demanded anonymity because their information was confidential - emphasized that the possibility that Iran was running out of uranium oxide was only one of several possible explanations of why it had not increased its production of enriched uranium since May.
But they said it seemed unlikely that the Islamic republic had deliberately decided to curb its production. They noted that despite the stagnation in output, Iran continued over the past three months to expand its capabilities by installing hundreds more of the centrifuges that spin uranium oxide into enriched uranium.
