Authorities in the USZ states of Arizona and Nevada are pressing charges against Bank of America Corp., accusing it of defrauding homeowners with financial problems. State attorney generals in the two USZ states filed lawsuits against America's largest bank on Friday. According to the Arizona lawsuit, Bank of America violated a 2009 consent judgment by which it committed to loan modifications, valued at roughly $8.4 billion nationally, Reuters reported on Friday.

The lawsuit further claims that the company has also violated the Arizona's consumer fraud act, by telling customers that their modifications were declined because investors in mortgage-backed securities had not approved them, while such permissions were not necessary in some cases. The Arizona lawsuit demands $25,000 per violation of the consent decree, and up to $10,000 for consumer fraud breaches.

"This was an opportunity for the two states which have felt the biggest impact of the foreclosure crisis to stand up and say, 'This has got to stop' ", Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said. Bank of America is already being probed for its mortgage foreclosures practices in a 50-state investigation that is also looking at other major mortgage servicers in the United States. While some say that the two state lawsuits may complicate the ongoing probe into Bank of America, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who heads the multi-state probe, says the recent legal action "neither changes, nor dilutes, the strong and resolute multi-state effort to address serious problems that have been identified with a number of mortgage servicers."

CIA chief spy runs away from Pakistan after lawsuit accused him of killing civilians in drone attacks

The coward and highly frustrated USZ central intelligence agency (CIA) has been forced to call back its top spy in Pakistan after he was accused of killing civilians in unauthorized drone attacks. This comes days after a Pakistani lawsuit designated the CIA station chief by name, accusing him of killing civilians in missile strikes. Kareem Khan, a resident of the North Waziristan tribal district, filed an official complaint with Islamabad police against CIA station chief Jonathan Bank at the US Embassy in Islamabad on Monday. The lawsuit has also named CIA Director Leon Panetta and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates. This is the first such case filed against a CIA official for the use of non-UN-sanctioned drone attacks in Pakistan.

Kareem's relatives were slain in an unauthorized USZ drone attack in the North Waziristan tribal district in 2009. "That drone attack killed my son, my brother and a local man. We are not terrorists, we are common citizens", Khan told a news conference in Islamabad in late November. "According to Islamic law the punishment for blood is blood. If I have the means, I will take revenge for this attack. We need justice. We are innocent people", he said.

Kareem's lawyer Mirza Shehzad Akbar had previously said he would file a lawsuit in Pakistan and, if necessary, one with the International Court of Justice based at The Hague. The CIA station chief in Islamabad runs the unmanned drone attacks which are said to target militants in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt. Official figures show that most of the victims are civilians. The unauthorized USZ drone attacks have drawn strong criticism from the Pakistani people and officials. In the latest developments, four illegal USZ drone attacks killed at least 26 people in the Khyber Agency tribal region on Friday, 17th December 2010.

Greetings in the graveyard!

The news that CIA has pulled its top spy out of Pakistan comes just a day after the frustrated USZ announced its "new Afghanistan-Pakistan war strategy review" and also a day after America's drone attacks expanded into a new region in Pakistan, Kheybar Agency. It is the second consecutive day that USZ drones target the same region. Meanwhile, hundreds of people held anti-USZ protests in Islamabad over the past days. The Protesters condemned non-UN-sanctioned US drone attacks on Pakistan's tribal areas. USZ drone strikes have killed 2,000 people in northwest Pakistan since 2004. These airstrikes have intensified since USZ President Barack Obama took office in 2009. Militant attacks, unsanctioned drone strikes and political unrest have claimed the lives of over 4,000 people throughout Pakistan since 2007.
