B A N G KO K , A P R 6 (AFP): Thailand’s king signed a new militarybacked constitution today that strengthens the army’s hand in government and puts the country on the path to polls after three years of junta rule. The military says the charter - Thailand’s twentieth since 1932 - will curb unrest in the politicallysplit kingdom and keep out corrupt lawmakers. But opponents say the new document means any polls, whose date keeps slipping, will only offer Thais a form of neutered democracy with a fully appointed senate and tough controls on elected politicians. King Maha Vajiralongkorn, who ascended the throne following the October death of his widely revered father Bhumibol Adulyadej, signed the doc-
Syria of chemical weapons. Israel has sought to avoid being dragged into the six-year Syrian conflict, but has acknowledged carrying out strikes to stop advanced weapons deliveries to Hezbollah, with whom it fought a devastating war in 2006. Syria and Israel remain officially at war, though the border was quiet for decades until Syria’s civil war began in 2011. Assad is supported by Israel’s enemies Iran and Lebanese movement Hezbollah. Russia also supports Assad and Netanyahu has held a series of talks with President Vladimir Putin in recent months to avoid accidental clashes in Syria.

At least 86 people were killed on Tuesday in rebel-held Khan Sheikhun in Idlib province in the suspected chemical attack. The minister criticised the international community, saying there had been “zero” reaction. Britain, France and the United States yesterday held off calling a vote at the UN Security Council on a resolution demanding an investigation after Russia suggested it would veto it. Asked whether Israel should be more directly involved in the war in Syria, Lieberman replied, “Why would it be up to us to do the work of others? It is the responsibility of the international community.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the world must act to rid
Syria’s armed forces “did not and will not” use chemical weapons, even against jihadist groups, Fo r e i g n M i n i s t e r Walid Muallem said today. “I stress to you once again: the Syrian army has not, did not and will not use this kind of weapons -not just against our own people, but even against the terrorists that attack our civilians with their mortar rounds,” he said. Muallem spoke at a press conference in Damascus two days after a suspected chemical attack left at least 86 people dead in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun in northwestern Syria. T h e d e a t h s h ave sparked international outrage with many pointing the finger at the government of President Bashar al-Assad, but Muallem cast doubt on the evidence. “The first air raid conducted by the Syrian army was at 11:30 am on that day (Tuesday) and it attacked an arms depot belonging to Al-Nusra Front that contained chemical weapons,” he said. Al-Nusra -- now known as Fateh al-Sham Front -- was once Al-Qaeda’s Syria affiliate and is the main jihadist rival of the Islamic State group.

Philippine President orders troops to SCS
MANILA, APR 6 (AFP): Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte today ordered Filipino troops to deploy on unoccupied South China Sea islands and reefs claimed by Manila, in a move that could provoke rival claimants including Beijing. In a surprise announcement, Duterte told reporters he has ordered soldiers to build structures on Philippine-claimed islands and reefs in the strategically located Spratly archipelago. “I have ordered the armed forces to occupy all,” he said during a visit to a military camp on the western Philippine island of Palawan, the largest land mass close to the Spratly group. “Erect structures there and raise the Philippine flag,” he said, adding Manila was claiming “nine or 10” Spratly islands, reefs or cays.
Suu Kyi denies ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslim minority
NAY PYI TAW, APR 6 (IANS): State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi has denied there is ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya Muslim minority in the country, despite widespread reports of abuses, a media report said. In a BBC interview on Wednesday, the Nobel laureate acknowledged problems in Rakhine state, where most Rohingya people live, but said ethnic cleansing was “too strong” a term to use. “I don’t think there is ethnic cleansing going on. I think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use for what is happening,” she told the BBC. “I think there is a lot of hostility there - it is Muslims killing Muslims as well, if they think they are co-operating with the authorities.” “It is not just a matter of ethnic cleansing as you put it - it is a matter of people on different sides of the divide, and this divide we are
MOSCOW, APR 6 (AFP): Russian investigators today said they had searched a flat of acquaintances of the suspected Saint Petersburg metro bomber, as they probe the attack that left 13 people dead. “Objects relevant to the investigation were found during the search of the apartment where these people lived,” the Investigative Committee said. “They
were all confiscated and sent for analysis.” The people targeted in the search are “several citizens of Central Asian republics, who had been in contact” with suspected bomber, 22-year-old Akbarjon Djalilov, the committee said. It did not disclose the nature of the objects confiscated. Authorities said

They face routine official and public discrimination, reports the BBC. Tens of thousands of Rohingya live in make-shift refugee camps. According to authorities, about 70,000 have fled to Bangladesh to escape a government military operation in Rakhine, launched after nine policemen were

killed in an attack last October. Last month, the UN announced that it would conduct an investigation into allegations the military has been indiscriminately targeting the Rohingya during the operation, subjecting them to rape, murder and torture. However, the Myanmar government has denied the claims. In response, Suu Kyi told the BBC that she had answered questions on the issue previously. “This question has been asked since 2013, when the last round of troubles broke out in Rakhine...they (the journalists) would ask me questions and I would answer them and people would say I said nothing.” “Simply because I did not make the statements people wanted, which people wanted me to make, simply to condemn one community or the other,” she added.

We d n e s d a y t h e y h a d searched Djalilov’s residence and said CCTV footage showed him leaving his home ahead of the attack “with a bag and rucksack.” Investigators said Djalilov -- believed to be a Russian citizen born in the Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan – had set off a bomb in
a train carriage travelling between two busy Saint Petersburg metro stations on Monday afternoon. His remains were found at the site of the blast and traces of his DNA were also discovered on a bag containing a bomb at another metro station that was successfully defused, investigators said.

Assad ordered gas attack: Israel
JERUSALEM/DAMASCUS, APR 6 (AFP): Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman today said he was “100 per cent sure” Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ordered a suspected chemical attack this week that provoked international outrage. Lieberman said the alleged attack in the neighbouring country was carried out “on the direct and premeditated command of Syrian President Bashar alAssad with Syrian planes.” “I say this with 100 per cent certainty,” Lieberman told the Yediot Aharonot daily, according to excerpts from an interview published on the paper’s website. He did not say what his certainty was based on.
