Police: 50 killed in Florida nightclub terror amnttack...


Story highlights

  •  50 killed at Orlando gay nightclub marks deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history
  • Authorities bust into club and kill gunman who was holding people hostage, police chief said
  • Clubgoer: Gunshots "could have lasted a whole song," they seemed to last for so long
Orlando, Florida (CNN)A gay nightclub here was the scene early Sunday of the worst terror attack in U.S. history since 9/11.
* 50 people were killed inside the Pulse club and at least 53 people were injured, police say.
* The gunman was Omar Mateen of Ft. Pierce, Florida, a law enforcement source told CNN.
* Orlando police shot and killed Mateen.
"It appears he was organized and well-prepared," Orlando Police Chief John Mina said early Sunday. The shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and "some type of (other) device on him."
    There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on jihadi forums, but ISIS sympathizers have reacted by praising the attack on pro-Islamic State forums.
    Officials, aided by the FBI, warned that a lengthy investigation was ahead, given the number of victims and the scope of the violence.
    "There's blood everywhere," U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson told reporters. "There's an enormous amount of evidence to be collected."
    It's just shocking," said Christopher Hansen, who was inside Pulse when he heard gunshots, "just one after another after another."
    "It could have lasted a whole song," he said.
    Hansen was getting a drink at the bar about 2 a.m. when he "just saw bodies going down."
    Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said he had declared a state of emergency for the city and has requested the governor do the same for the state.
    Before Sunday, the deadliest shootings in U.S. history were at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, with 32 and 27 killed.

    VIONGOZI WA MFUKO WA MAENDELEO YA PAMBA WAUMBULIWA

    WATANZANIA WATAKIWA KUSHIRIKIANA KUPIGA VITA MATUKIO YA MAUAJI

    indexWAZIRI MKUU Kassim Majaliwa amewataka Watanzania, viongozi wa dini zote kushirikiana kwa pamoja kupiga vita matukio maovu ya mauaji yaliyotokea katika maeneo mbalimbali nchini.
    Amesema anatarajia hali ya amani, usalama na utulivu inaendelea kuwepo nchini, hivyo wananchi hawana budi kushirikiana na kushikamana na Serikali katika kuhakikisha matendo maovu hayatokei katika maeneo yao.
    Waziri Mkuu ameyasema hayo jana (Jumamosi, Juni 11, 2016) wakati  alipowasili mkoani Geita kwa ajili ya kuhudhuria ibada ya kuwekwa wakfu Padre Flavian Kassala kuwa Askofu mpya wa Jimbo Katoliki Geita.
    “Mfano tukio la Mwanza watu wanavaa kanzu na wanaingia msikitini na kukuta wenzao wanafanya ibada kisha wakawachinja, hii haiwezekani kwa binadamu wa kawaida hivyo tushirikiane katika kupiga vita matendo haya,” alisisitiza.
    Hivi karibuni jumla ya watu 15 waliuawa kwa kukatwakatwa na mapanga katika mikoa ya Mwanza,Tanga, Dar es Salaam  na Mara.
    Kwa upande wake Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Geita, Meja Jenerali Mstaafu, Ezekiel Kyunga amesema vitendo vya watu kuuawa kwa kukatwa mapanga vimepungua baada ya kuanzisha kampeni maalumu ya kukemea mauaji hayo.
    Alisema katika kampeni hiyo wameamua kuwatumia walimu, viongozi wa dini mbalimbali pamoja na wauguzi ambao wamekuwa wakiwaelimisha wananchi kuachana na imani potofu za kishirikina na badala yake wajikite katika masuala ya maendeleo.

    VIONGOZI WA MFUKO WA MAENDELEO YA PAMBA WAUMBULIWA

    DC MARWAMKUU wa wilaya ya Nyang’hwale mkoani Geita, Ibrahimu Marwa amesema viongozi wa Mfuko wa Wakfu wa maendeleo ya zao la pamba uliwapelekea wakulima pembejeo feki na kuwasababishia hasara.
    Amesema hatua hiyo inatokana wafanyabiashara na viongozi wa mfuko huo kuwa na maslahi binafsi katika zao la pamba hivyo kushindwa kuwasaidia wakulima ipasavyo.
    Marwa aliyasema hayo jana (Jumamosi, Juni 11, 2016) wakati Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Geita Meja Jenerali Mstaafu, Ezekiel Kyunga alipokuwa akisoma taarifa ya Mkoa huo kwa Waziri Mkuu  Kassim Majaliwa alipowasili Mkoani hapo.
    Alisema mara baada ya wakulima kupelekewa pembejeo hizo na kubaini kuwa na kasoro walizipeleka katika Kiituo cha Utafiti wa Kilimo cha Ukirigulu kilichoko mkoani Mwanza ambacho nacho kilithibitisha kuwepo kwa kasoro.
    Kwa upande wake Waziri Mkuu amewataka Maofisa Kilimo kuhakikisha wanatimiza wajibu wao na kuwasaidia wakulima wa pamba ili waweze kupata tija.
    Ametaka Maofisa Kilimo na viongozi wa maeneo yanayolima pamba kujipanga upya baada ya kumalizika kwa msimu wa mwaka kwa kuanza mikakati ya kufanya utafiti wa mbegu bora za pamba na kuziandaa za kutosheleza wakulima wote.
    Alisema hakuna sababu ya kuendelea kuwa na Maofisa Kilimo ambao wanashindwa kutimiza majukumu yao kwa sababu mashamba ya wakulima yanashindwa kuendelea kwa kuwa hakuna mtu anayewafuatilia.
    “Mwakani muanze kufanya utafiti kuanzia hatua za awali na kituo cha Ukirigulu kipewe kazi ya kusimamia zao hili na kiwe na shamba darasa kwa ajili ya kufundishia wakulima. Lengo ni kuhakikisha zao hili linakuwa na tija,” alisema.
    Hata hivyo Waziri Mkuu ameziagiza Halmashauri za Wilaya zinazolima pamba zifanye utafiti ili kujua sababu zilizosababisha wakulima kupunguza ari ya kulima zao hilo.  
    Pia amewataka waachane na mfumo wa kilimo cha mkataba kwa sababu hauna tija kwa mkulima kwani hautengenezi ushindani na badala yake wajifunze mfumo unaotumika katika uuzaji wa zao la korosho.
