Firman Memakai Jas Biru Muda dan Berkacamata/dok. Keluarga
Cimahi - Nasib tragis menimpa Firman
Nur Hidayat (21), mahasiswa asal Cimahi, Jawa Barat. Tersenggol motor
saat hendak mendahului Honda City di depannya, korban terpental ke depan
mobil yang tengah melaju dan masuk ke kolong kendaraan.
"Sedannya
tidak berhenti dan terus berjalan. Ada warga yang kasih tahu tapi tetap
saja tidak berhenti dan kabur," kata Kanit Laka Lantas Ipda Tomy
Fidianto, saat dihubungi detikcom, Sabtu (28/2/2015).
Peristiwa
itu terjadi Jumat (27/2/2015) sekitar pukul 22.15 WIB. Lokasi kejadian
berada di Jl Raya Kebon Kopi, Cimahi, tepat di depan Masjid Al
Muhajirin, Kelurahan Cibereum, Kecamatan Cimahi Selatan.
Warga
setempat yang melihat peristiwa tersebut berupaya mengejar sedan
tersebut. Namun, kendaraan tersebut makin tancap gas menuju Pasar
Cijerah dan Gerbang Tol Pasir Koja.
"Pelaku tabrak palang gerbang tiket tol. Warga yang menggunakan empat motor juga terus kejar," kata Tomy.
Namun,
motor yang dikendarai warga kalah cepat dengan mobil pelaku yang
menyerat korban Firman. "Kecepatan mobil makin tinggi, warga akhirnya
keluar di Gerbang Tol Baros dan melaporkan ke petugas PJR dan Jasa
Marga," kata Tomy.
Laju sedan terhenti di KM 116 atau 200 km
sebelum Gerbang Tol Cikamuning. "Ada bus yang pepet mereka dan akhirnya
berhenti," beber Tomy.
"Kemungkinan bus melihat korban yang ada di belakang mobil karena terseret," imbuh Tomy.
The 30-year-old has
served two tours in Afghanistan but has decided to spend "a significant
period abroad" and pursue his interests in "conservation and wildlife,"
the paper's veteran royal editor Robert Jobson wrote. NBC News was not
immediately able to confirm the report.
The Evening Standard
also said that Harry, who is known as Captain Harry Wales in the
military, is also interested in focusing on programs helping injured
military personnel.
Harry chose a career in
the military after undergoing officer training at the U.K.'s prestigious
Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Last year he launched the Invictus Games, an Olympics-style sporting event based in London for people injured in the armed forces.
When contacted by NBC
News, neither Kensington Palace nor the British Ministry of Defence
(MoD) would confirm or deny the Evening Standard's report.
In an emailed statement,
a palace spokesman said: "Prince Harry is currently focused on his work
supporting the MoD's recovery capability program to ensure those who
are wounded injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the
necessary support they require."
A senior British
military source told NBC News that it was a logical time for Harry to
consider his next step. The prince has 10 years' military experience and
his next promotion would be to major, which would require years of
extra study and commitment.
Harry was frustrated at
the start of his military career in 2005 by the decision not to deploy
him to Iraq due to fears he would be targeted by insurgents.
The decision not to
expose him to front-line fighting was reversed when he was deployed to
Afghanistan in 2008. He operated in Helmand province as a forward air
controller, calling in airstrikes.
His colleagues told NBC
News at the time that he was very proficient. He served a second tour in
Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot.
Harry has gained a great
deal of respect in Britain by serving on the front line. It has
improved the public image of a prince who was seen as wayward at times.
His father, Prince Charles, left the Royal Navy at 28, his brother
Prince William left his job as an Royal Air Force search-and-rescue
pilot at 31.
Two hours before a midnight
deadline, Congress has narrowly averted a shutdown of the Department of
Homeland Security for one week, setting up another funding showdown for
next Friday.
Hours before a midnight
deadline, the House easily approved a one-week extension of the funding.
The vote was 357-60. It required two-thirds of members' support to
pass.
President Barack Obama later signed the bill.
The move means that DHS
will not experience a shutdown at midnight, but it also fails to resolve
the impasse created when the House initially lashed together the
agency's budget and so-called "riders" that would gut the president's
immigration proposals. Some House conservatives said that Obama's
actions are unconstitutional and must be stopped - even at the cost of a
DHS funding lapse.
The one-week funding
vote came after an embarrassing defeat for House Speaker John Boehner
earlier Friday. The House failed to pass a three-week extension of the
funding as fifty-two Republicans and almost all Democrats voted against
the measure. Conservatives called the stopgap bill a cave to the White
House because it did not address immigration; Democrats derided it as a
temporary solution and vowed not to "bail out" Boehner by giving him
enough support to get the bill over the finish line.
But Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi reversed course later Friday night, instructing House
Democrats to back the one-week measure. She said that they would have
the opportunity to support a one-year "clean" funding bill next week.
An aide to Boehner
dismissed the notion that the Speaker and Pelosi cut any kind of deal to
bring up the clean bill next week, saying "there was no such promise
made."
Before the final vote,
Obama convened a meeting with key staff, including DHS head Jeh Johnson,
late Friday to discuss the impending deadline, White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said.
As lawmakers furiously
negotiated behind closed doors, the Department of Homeland Security
issued a 46-page document outlining procedures for a possible funding
lapse, including an outline of which employees would be exempt from the
shutdown.
In the event of a
shutdown, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has said
that about 80 percent of DHS employees would still be required to come
to work but would not be paid until Congress acts.
Attorney General Eric Holder says
that he will soon call on Congress to lower the standard of proof in
federal civil rights cases, to allow federal prosecution where local
authorities are unable or unwilling to get a conviction.
"There is a better way
in which we could have federal involvement in these kinds of matters to
allow the federal government to be a better backstop in examining these
cases," Holder said in an NBC News interview conducted on Thursday.
On Tuesday, the Justice
Department announced that it found insufficient evidence to pursue
federal criminal civil rights charges in the 2012 shooting death of a
black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in Florida.
In a written statement,
government lawyers said their decision in the case was "limited strictly
to the department's inability to meet the high legal standard" in the
civil rights statutes.
Holder is expected to
announce within the next few weeks whether the government will bring
civil rights charges stemming from last year's shooting of an unarmed
black man, Michael Brown, by a white police officer in Ferguson,
Missouri. Officials familiar with the case have said they expect that no
federal charges will be filed.
"We do need to change
the law. I do think the standard is too high," Holder said Thursday.
"There needs to be a change with regard to the standard of proof."
To bring a federal case,
federal prosecutors must prove that a person used excessive force,
willfully —meaning on purpose — with the knowledge that it was wrong.
William Yeomans, a
former prosecutor in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division,
said proving intent is the biggest challenge in bringing a successful
prosecution in such cases.
"It's extremely difficult to establish beyond a reasonable doubt what was in the defendant's mind when he committed the act."
Federal prosecutors
brought just such a charge in 1991 against Los Angeles police officers
for beating a black driver, Rodney King, after a high-speech chase. But
the government had videotape to help prove that case.
The high bar in the law
often prevents the federal government from prosecuting. Examples include
the New York police shooting deaths of Amadou Diallo, unarmed when he
was killed outside his apartment in 1999, and Sean Bell, who died after
officers fired 50 shots into his car. No federal charges were filed in
either case.
"I'm going to have some specific proposals that we will share with the American people and with Congress," Holder said Thursday.
U.S. Blogger Hacked to Death by 'Islamist Radicals'
DHAKA, Bangladesh — Machete-wielding assailants hacked to death an American blogger, the latest of a series of attacks on writers who support free-thinking values in Muslim-majority Bangladesh.
The attack comes amidst a crackdown on hardline Islamist groups, which have increased activities in recent years in the South Asian nation.
Avijit Roy, a U.S. citizen of Bangladeshi origin, and his wife and fellow blogger, Rafida Ahmed, were attacked on Thursday while returning from a book fair. Ahmed was seriously injured.
Police retrieved two machetes from the site, but have not yet identified any suspects. They said they were investigating the involvement of Ansarullah Bangla Team, an Islamist extremist group based in Bangladesh that claimed responsibility on Friday for the murder.
Roy's family said Islamist radicals had been threatening him in recent weeks because he maintained a blog, "Mukto-mona," or "Freemind,"that highlighted humanist and rationalist ideas and condemned religious extremism.
"Islamist radicals are behind my son's murder," Ajay Roy told reporters on Friday after filing a murder case with police.
The Center for Inquiry, a U.S.-based nonprofit group Roy wrote for, said it was "shocked and heartbroken" by the murder. "Dr. Roy was a true ally, a courageous and eloquent defender of reason, science, and free expression, in a country where those values have been under heavy attack," it said in a statement.
RAJIB DHAR
Avijit Roy's wife Rafida Ahmed Banna is carried on a stretcher to Dhaka Medical Collage on Friday after being seriously injured.

Jihadi John at Age 10: I'll Be Soccer Player When I Grow Up
By Alastair Jamieson
LONDON
- Masked executioner Jihadi John, the global face of ISIS, was a
sports-obsessed 10-year-old who liked British soccer team Manchester
United, PlayStation game Duke Nukem and listening to teen pop bands.
Mohammed Emwazi, who has beheaded Western hostages including Americans James Foley and Stephen Sotloff, wrote about his childhood dreams in an elementary school yearbook.
The 26-year-old London-raised college graduate was unmasked Thursday as the mystery figure who has appeared in ISIS propaganda videos.
"What I want to be when I
grow up is a footballer," the future murderer wrote in the St
Magdalene's Church of England School yearbook dating to 1998.
Asked where he thought he would be when he was 30, Emwazi added: "I will be in a football team and scoring a goal."
The Kuwait-born killer
was also a fan of 1990s British teen pop group S Club 7, and listed "The
Simpsons," french fries and the book "How to Kill A Monster" among his
favorites. His star sign is Leo.

An image from a school yearbook believed to belong to Mohammed Emwazi.
One of Emwazi's former
teachers described him as a "diligent, hardworking, lovely young man"
who was responsible, polite and quiet.
Emwazi, who went on to
complete a college degree in computer studies, was known to British
intelligence agencies and was suspected of links to Somali terror group
al-Shabab.
He was repeatedly
questioned by security services but managed to travel to Syria in 2012
where he later joined ISIS and became the face of its grisly hostage
videos.
