(CBS/AP) KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban claimed responsibility on Saturday for an attack against a sprawling British base in southern Afghanistan that killed two U.S. Marines and wounded several other troops, saying it was to avenge an anti-Islamic film that insulted the Prophet Muhammad, and because Britain’s Prince Harry is serving there. Taliban spokesman Kari Yousef Ahmed told CBS News the primary motive for the attack was the film, but the base was picked as the place to attack because of Prince Harry’s presence there. The U.S.-led NATO coalition said in a statement that the overnight attack focused on Camp Bastion, a huge British base adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, which houses U.S. Marine operations in southern Helmand province. “We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone. He added, “Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet.” Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is based at Camp Bastion. A spokesperson for Britain’s Ministry of Defense told the AP he was unharmed in the attack which, according to Britain’s Press Association, took place a mile from the section of the complex where the prince was located. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with government policy. Capt....

The prime minister, who has broken off negotiations with the protesters occupying parts of central Bangkok, said he hoped to resolve the crisis soon without resorting to force, but appealed for patience. “We recognize that as every day passes by, the people of Thailand suffer, the country suffers, but we want to make sure that there is rule of law,” Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, according to quotes posted on the news channel’s website. “We will try to enforce the law with minimum losses and we will try to find a political resolution, but it takes time, patience and cooperation.” The four-hour closure of Bangkok’s Skytrain caused commuter chaos and raised concerns in the tense capital, where hundreds of soldiers armed with automatic weapons were deployed to guard stations and other major city boulevards. At least 26 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 wounded since protesters known as the Red Shirts – who view the government as illegitimate – began occupying parts of Bangkok in mid-March, closing down five-star hotels and shopping malls and devastating the country’s vital tourism industry. The government has not given a clear statement of how it plans to end the standoff after rejecting a Red Shirt compromise proposal to disband parliament within 30 days instead of immediately. In his interview with CNN, recorded Monday, Abhisit said he could not disband...

According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public life, in its most recent poll, there were 1.6 billion Muslims in the world in 2010, and 2.18 billion Christians. It should be noted, though, there have been probably fewer than 50,000 Muslims demonstrating around the world against the United States since a 14 minute trailer for the film, the “Innocence of Muslims,” was uploaded onto YouTube on July 1. According to a timeline published on Sept. 21 by the Arab network al-Jazeera, the turmoil started when a Coptic Christian activist in the U.S. sent a link to Gamel Girgis, an Egyptian reporter who writes about Coptic Christians for al-Youm al-Sabaa, a Cairo newspaper. On Sept. 8, Khaled Abdullah, 바카라사이트 a prominent fundamentalist television host famous for his finger-wagging fire-brand statements on al-Nas, a station favored by fundamentalist Salafis, showed the clip dubbed into Arabic. Three days later, on Sept. 11, about 75 terrorists, who according to some reports were members of Ansar al-Shari’ah (Followers of Islamic law), a fundamentalist Libyan militia, surrounded and breached the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. There has been much debate about whether it was a spontaneous outburst, a crime of opportunity, but the U.S. has now acknowledged was a terrorist attack. U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. The flame was lit. Since then, thousands of mostly young men and boys have...

Conservative firebrand Glenn Beck is back – gambling on a new platform. He launched a new daily program Monday night on his new, Internet-based network called – what else? – GBTV. As CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller notes, Beck is taking on a new medium. “We are starting a movement in America,” Beck said during his first show. He’s one of the most controversial figures in media – part teacher, and part preacher. “There is courage in our times!” he said from a stage at one point. Now, just three months after that program ended, Beck has returned, taking on subjects ranging from 9/11 to the economy. Of the tenth 9/11, he said, “We will lucky at best if the next generation recognizes something actually happened on this date in history, 9/11.” On the economy: “The president is a Marxist. There, I said it!” “He’s really setting himself as this multi-media powerhouse,” says Glynnis MacNicol, editor of Business Insider’s blog, “The Wire,” “and seeing if the world is ready to watch TV on the Internet.” Pushing boundaries is nothing new for Beck. During his two years at Fox News, he rose to prominence, cultivating a committed following with emotional outbursts, such as when he said, through tears, “I’m sorry. I just love my country, and I fear for it.” He was also noted for his fiery statements, such as,...
