PROPONENTS Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords: "Today, the US Senate ignored the will of the American people and failed to pass a bi-partisan commonsense, moderate solution for keeping deadly weapons out of the hands of dangerous people and making our communities safer. Almost 90% of Americans said they wanted this sensible solution to be implemented, but the senators voting against the measure chose instead to obey the leaders of the powerful corporate gun lobby, instead of their constituents. We know this proposal respected the rights of lawful gun owners like ourselves, and we know it would have saved lives.
We will use every means possible to make sure the constituents of these senators know that their elected representatives ignored them, and put Washington, DC special interest politics over the effort to keep their own communities safer from the tragedy of gun violence."

Islamabad: On a day of high drama, former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf fled from the Islamabad High Court on Thursday after it had ordered his arrest in a 2007 case and remained closeted in his farmhouse.
Dozens of riot police carrying shields and batons massed outside Musharraf's villa and closed access to the street in the upmarket suburb of Chak Shahzad, but there were no moves to take the 69-year-old into custody.
Earlier in the day, the Islamabad High Court dismissed Musharraf's interim bail extension plea and ordered his arrest in the case related to the detention of senior judges, Geo News reported.
Accompanied by his guards, Musharraf, 69, appeared before the court to seek an extension in his bail. However, the court dismissed his plea and ordered his arrest.
The former president lost no time in fleeing from the court premises in a black, bullet-proof SUV with tinted glasses. Escorted by his bodyguards, Musharraf zoomed out of the court premises as security personnel looked on and TV cameras whirred away.

Sangareddy: Sixty-seven persons, including nine women, have been sentenced to five years imprisonment by a district court for attempting to murder a woman after accusing her of practicing black magic.
The accused, residents of Medchedpally village of Pedda Shankrampet mandal in Medak district, attacked a woman called Sangamma on May 31, 2009 for allegedly performing black magic.
Seeking protection, Sangamma's husband Yellaiah approached Pedda Shankrampet police station, following which a police team led by sub-inspector Shyamsunder went to the spot.
The mob pelted stones at the police team, injuring Shyamsunder and two other policemen. Police fired eight rounds to disperse the mob and rescued Sangamma.
Police subsequently booked 67 persons for attempt to murder. Senior Civil Judge Chandrasekhar Prasad yesterday convicted all of them.
Apart from five-year jail term, fine of Rs 2,500 was also imposed on each of them.
One of the convicts, Yadagiri, is absconding while the remaining were taken into custody after the verdict and sent to Cherlapally jail in Hyderabad.
