(NEWSER) - The US launched a series of attacks in Pakistan this weekend, including one that perpetuated a particularly unsavory Obama administration hallmark: targeting people mourning those killed in the first attack. "I ask this sincerely: what kind of country targets rescuers, funeral attendees, and people gathered to mourn?" asks Glenn Greenwald on Salon . "If a Hollywood film featured a villainous king ordering lethal attacks on rescuers, funerals, and mourners ? any decent audience member would, by design, seethe with contempt for such an inhumane tyrant."

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
By Gina Serpe and Ken Baker, E! Online
Look out, world: there's an adorable new Kardashian to keep up with now!
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have welcomed their second child -- and first daughter -- E! News has exclusively learned.
The baby girl was born early Sunday in Los Angeles at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and joins big brother Mason in the ever-expanding Kardashian-Disick household. So how did the birth go down? And, most importantly, what's the cutie pie's name?

Let's say hello to Penelope Scotland Disick.
"Scott and I are overjoyed to welcome our precious angel Penelope Scotland Disick into our lives. We are forever blessed. Mommy and baby are resting comfortably," Kourtney tells E! News.
The 33-year-old E! star had an all-natural birth, and her new mini-me tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
"It was a great. She had an easy delivery," matriarch Kris Jenner tells us. "[Penelope] is so cute. She looks just like Mason. She's so beautiful. We are so happy."
As it happens, this has been one highly anticipated birth (complete with a headline-grabbing false alarm), and not just among the fans.
Kourtney and Scott announced the news?of the impending stork delivery last November, and revealed that they were expecting their first daughter?in February of this year (son Mason turned the big 0-2 in December).

In May, the family -- along with Kim Kardashian's beau, Kanye West -- celebrated the baby-to-be with a femme-fueled, pink-themed baby shower.
As for the million-dollar question: as Mason's birth was must-see TV, are the proud new parents going to once again share with fans the miracle of life?
"I don't know," Kourtney said?on the "Tonight Show" a few weeks ago. "We're gonna film it again ourselves, and honestly, my experience last time was so peaceful and calm and everything you don't see in the movies. And I really wanted to share that with people so they knew it doesn't have to be a crazy screaming session."
Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians every Sunday at 9 p.m. on E!
This time around, we'll have to wait and see. While Kourtney said she and Scott planned on filming the birth, they would decide after the fact if they were going to go public with the footage. And something tells us that's not their biggest priority at the moment.
Congrats, you two!

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

SAN DIEGO ? State firefighters say this summer and fall's wildfire season is expected to be difficult this year.
The California Department of Forestry, CALFIRE, reported the number of fires in the first six months of the year was about 500 above what was expected.
A long dry winter means there's plenty of fuel in rural areas and that raises the risk if temperatures climb.
While the number of blazes is up, firefighters are doing their job because there have not been any big headline-grabbing wildfires.
"The good news is, we've kept the majority of the fires very small and damage to a minimum," said Janet Upton, a spokeswoman for CALFIRE. "And just to put that in perspective for you, last week we responded statewide, just in our jurisdiction which is about a third of the state, to 270 wildfires. Which many people didn't hear about because we did keep them small."
Money could become an issue if there are lots of large fires, according to Upton. CALFIRE has taken $80 million in budget cuts over the past few years. That's forced the agency to roll back some staffing.

BAGHDAD (AP) ? Market bombings and other attacks across Iraq killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, and one senior intelligence figure said he could not rule out that guards may have taken bribes to allow terrorists to penetrate security during a Shiite pilgrimage.
The latest attacks added to fears that Iraq is descending further into violence after the last American troops withdrew late last year. More than 275 people have died in attacks over the past month, the bloodiest period since immediately after the U.S. withdrawal.
Tuesday morning's wave of bombings struck six Iraqi cities and towns. The worst hit was Diwaniyah, 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Baghdad, where an explosives-laden vegetable truck detonated in a crowded market. Officials said 26 people were killed and about 75 wounded.
Vegetable seller Salah Abbas, 41, described a scene of chaos after the explosion ripped through the crowd.
"There were many charred bodies on the ground," said Abbas, who rushed to help wounded fellow merchants before ambulances arrived. He managed to push one to safety in a cart, but he said two others died at the market.
"People screaming and crying ? some were coming in to get their relatives, while others were running out. Then rumors spread of more car bombs, and people ran out of the market in panic," he said.
A senior Iraqi military intelligence official said there were at least two security lapses in Tuesday's market attack, and money might have changed hands.
One guard at a security checkpoint in Diwaniyah failed to properly search the produce truck because he said he couldn't stand the smell of rotting vegetables and fruit, and another guard later allowed the truck to enter the market itself instead of being unloaded outside as security rules require, the intelligence official said.
He said, "We do not rule out that bribes were paid to some at the checkpoints." The military official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters of security.
Tuesday's attacks come as hundreds of thousands of Shiite Muslim pilgrims were heading to the holy city of Karbala this week for religious ceremonies set to peak on Friday. Shiite pilgrimages are a favorite target of Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaida.
Attacks timed to strike during a similar march in Baghdad last month left 100 dead.
Diwaniyah is about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Karbala, which also was hit by two bombs hidden in cars parked outside a market in the early morning, blasts that killed five people and wounded 30.
Jubair al-Jabouri, chairman of the Qadisiyah provincial council, confirmed the death toll in Diwaniyah, a Shiite city and the provincial capital. He blamed al-Qaida for the attacks.
"Terrorism has no religion," al-Jabouri said. "The terrorists targeted the innocents today in Karbala and Diwaniyah."
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings.
Last month, no more than three days passed without a major attack, signaling the insurgency's ability to regroup quickly, as opposed to earlier patterns, when militants took several weeks to coordinate and gather material for an occasional, if spectacular, wave of bombings.
Despite their extra measures, security forces appear powerless to stop the violence. That has damaged the government's already shaky credibility with the Iraqi people and fanned fears the country may be spiraling out of control without recourse to American troops to restore order. The last American soldiers withdrew last December after nearly nine years of war.
Iraqi officials and experts also say the Sunni insurgents have been emboldened by a months-long sectarian-based political crisis that has all but paralyzed the government, and they now seek to exploit tensions among the country's ethnic factions.
Within hours of the two Karbala bombings, authorities banned vehicles from entering the holy city through Friday, a new step to protect the pilgrims. Karbala, 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Baghdad, is the destination for annual Shiite rituals on the anniversary of the birth of the ninth-century Shiite leader known as the Hidden Imam.
"Al-Qaida groups are trying to stop Shiite people from practicing their rituals of the pilgrimage," said Karbala Gov. Amal-Din al-Hir. "But we are confident that the Shiite pilgrims will be undaunted by these explosions."
Bombs also struck three other cities in central Iraq, and a gunmen attacked security forces in a fourth.
In the Sunni city of Taji, two bomb blasts killed three people and wounded 15. A policeman was among the dead, said security and health officials who confirmed the casualties. Taji is home to a military base and is 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad.
In the capital itself, two roadside bombs exploded next to security patrols in separate neighborhoods, killing a policeman and a passer-by, and wounding 14 other people, officials said.
And in Sunni-dominated Diyala province, just northeast of Baghdad, a bombing left two farmers dead, and a drive-by shooting killed two security officers and wounded two others.
The casualties were in Baghdad, Taji and Diyala were confirmed by police and health officials who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -Fatigue finally caught up with Italy. Forced by injuries to end the match with 10 men, the Azzurri had no answer for Spain's passing wizardry in the European Championship final.
Even "Super" Mario Balotelli couldn't break free to rescue the Azzurri this time, and the result, a 4-0 loss, was the most lopsided final in tournament history, eclipsing West Germany's 3-0 win over the Soviet Union in 1972.
Still, for a squad that entered this tournament without any big expectations and was hobbled by a match-fixing scandal, Italy can hardly be disappointed with a runner-up finish.
But coach Cesare Prandelli couldn't have been pleased with the way his squad sat back with eight men behind the ball in the opening quarter hour, which led to David Silva's opening goal in the 14th minute.
Seven minutes later, Italy's dependable right back Giorgio Chiellini limped off with an apparent left hamstring injury, the same problem that kept him out of the quarterfinal victory over England.
Midfielder Daniele De Rossi, who had to exit the England match with a sciatic nerve problem, also appeared far from 100 percent, and Spain defender Jordi Alba made it 2-0 in the 41st, racing past Leonardo Bonucci and shooting around helpless Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
De Rossi and defender Andrea Barzagli were so exhausted before the match that they didn't even take part in Saturday's final training session. Also, for the second consecutive game Prandelli presented his match strategy to the squad on video, simply because the team did not have enough energy to do it on the pitch.
Prandelli has preached an attack-at-all-costs mentality much like Spain, but after requiring 120 minutes and a shootout to beat England in the quarterfinals, then another physical victory over Germany in the semifinals, the strategy appeared to take its toll.
While Antonio Cassano threatened occasionally in the first half, he was then replaced by Antonio Di Natale to start the second half. Having had minor heart surgery in November, Cassano was out for more than five months. He returned in April and still does not have more than an hour in his legs.
Di Natale provided a brief spark at the start of the second half, but when midfielder Thiago Motta fell to the pitch untouched grasping his right hamstring on the hour mark, it spelled the end for Italy's comeback chances.
Motta, who had some physical problems in training last week, had to be carried off on a stretcher, and Italy had already used all three of its substitutions, leaving the Azzurri with 10 men.
Balotelli's best chance came midway through the first half, but Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas pushed Federico Balzaretti's cross away just as the 21-year-old striker was lining up a header from close range.
A goal would have given Balotelli sole possession of the tournament scoring lead. Still, his three goals left him level with four other players, and give Italy hope for the future.
