BBC NEWS Middle East Israel strikes new Gaza targets: "Israel strikes new Gaza targets

Israel targeted militants in Rafah in the latest air strikes
Israeli aircraft have launched a fresh wave of air strikes on Gaza, intensifying pressure on Palestinian militants to free a captured soldier.
The Palestinian interior ministry was hit, while a militant was reported killed in an air strike - the first fatality since the offensive began.
Meanwhile the UN has warned of an imminent humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
On Thursday Israel said it was postponing sending troops into northern Gaza to give diplomacy a chance.
In an interview with the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said the Palestinian militant group Hamas had agreed to the conditional release of Cpl Gilad Shalit, who was captured on Sunday.
'Up to now, the Israeli side does not accept,' Mr Mubarak is quoted as saying, without giving details of the Palestinian conditions.

Gaza Strip in detail


But there has been no public Israeli response. The Israeli government has demanded Cpl Shalit's unconditional release, and our Jerusalem correspondent Nick Thorpe says the Israeli government seems unlikely to greet Mr Mubarak's comments with great enthusiasm.
Egyptian officials have been trying to negotiate Cpl Shalit's release since the beginning of the crisis.
'All-out war'
In the latest round of air strikes, Israeli warplanes fired missiles into the unoccupied Palestinian interior ministry in Gaza City shortly after midnight on Friday, setting the building ablaze.

BBC NEWS | Americas | US fears home-grown terror threat: "The US Attorney-General, Alberto Gonzales has warned that home-grown terrorists could pose as much danger to the US as foreign al-Qaeda operatives.

Seven men have been charged with plotting to blow up the Sears Towers in Chicago, and attack FBI offices.

The men, five from the US and two from Haiti, hoped to wage a 'full ground war' against the US, according to the charges brought against them.

Officials said the men were foiled at an early stage and posed no danger.

Mr Gonzales said the group of 'home-grown terrorists' were inspired by 'a violent jihadist message'.

'They were persons who for whatever reason came to view their home country as the enemy,' he told reporters.

'Dangerous'

According to charges brought against the men, the group of men aged 22 to 32 had sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda, but had no contacts with it.

They have been charged with conspiring to blow up both the Sears Tower and the FBI building in North Miami Beach.

Why

Why I decided to have a blog? Because I had nothing to do, it was joke. I like to try doing new things, so I did it. I hope to reporting situation in my country, previews on books, things that I think can be interesting.
