Blast in Iraqi Capital Kills 72

By VOA News 24 June 2009 Iraqi soldiers in Baghdad's Sadr City, 24 Jun 2009 Iraqi police say 72 people have been killed in a bomb blast in Baghdad, less than a week before U.S. troops are to withdraw from Iraq's urban areas. More than 160 people were injured in Wednesday's blast, which tore through a market in the mostly Shi'ite district of Sadr City. Officials say the attacker hid the bomb under a cart of vegetables loaded on a motorcycle. In other violence, officials say one person was killed and at least 14 wounded in two other attacks in the Iraqi capital.

Star Trek

An ambitious franchise restart in the tradition of Batman Begins and Casino Royale, this intergalactic adventure centers around the meeting of two wet-behind-the-ears Starfleet recruits: half-Vulcan Spock and all-American rebel James T. Kirk. Thrown together on a perilous mission, they must settle their differences to defeat a nefarious time-travelling Romulan. Amid explosions, fistfights, and faster-than-light travel, we witness the beginnings of one of the most famous friendships in TV and movie history. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before. Starring : John Cho, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine Direct
