 Tupac Shakur

Los Angeles Times apologized for the story that implicates P Diddy in the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur. L.A. Times retracted the story and admitted that Chuck Philips had written the story based on a fake FBI documents.

The story “An Attack on Tupac Shakur Launched a Hip-Hop War” was retracted after three weeks, in which Chuck Philips assumed that Diddy’s associates had arranged the shooting of Shakur at a New York recording studio, after Tupac refused an offers to join Combs’ Bad Boy Records label.

In the retraction, the Times reported that Philips’ story and the related faked documents have been removed from the paper’s site because the article relied on information that the Times no longer believes to be credible.

In an interview with MTV Combs told that the Times story “just really hurt.” Sean Combs and manager Jimmy Rosemond denied the involvement in the Shakur shooting from the moment the story was published.

The documents Philips used to build his story appeared to have been faked by James Sabatino, who is presently in prison on charges of fraud and racketeering.

The US military has charged a civilian contractor in Iraq under U.S. military law for the first time.

Alaa Mohammad Ali is accused of stabbing another contractor. This is the first contractor charged under an amendment passed by Congress in 2006, which governs military trials for contractors accompanying U.S. troops.

Alaa Mohammad has been held by U.S. military since February and will face his first pre-trial hearing on April 10. And he will be given the same rights as a U.S. service member facing military court.

After the leak of the Norwegian movie “Lange Flate Ballær II” onto several BitTorrent sites the movie director Harald Zwart said that it’s an honor that someone took the effort to record it in a movie theater.

The movie was posted on Norway’s largest BitTorrent sites early Sunday morning. In a couple of hours, hundreds of people had already downloaded the movie.

Zwart told Nettavisen.no: “I think it’s perfectly fine that some people choose to post the movie online. It shows that people are interested in it”, “In the IT society of today it’s naive to think that this wouldn’t happen. We consider it a huge compliment. After all, what has happened is that someone has smuggled a camera into a theater and then recorded the whole movie”.

Zwart doesn’t hold a grudge against the people who share his movie online though, but he made some negative comments about the quality of the recording, “The movie was filmed using a video camera in a local cinema somewhere. The quality is bad, and the movie definitely is better in theaters”.
