i.s.i.l. wins support from powerful tribe in anbar. as it battles iraqi government forces. >> hello there, you are watching al jazeera. also in the programme. a food square in india, maggie instant noodles made by necessarily ordered off the shelves. the f.i.f.a. scandal grows, a top executive admits bribes were paid during the 1998 and 2010

world cup. yemen's former president - did he cooperate with al-qaeda. a fighter turned informant talks to al jazeera. i.s.i.l. fighters have been given a boost in the war against the iraqi government. several sunni sheikhs and tribes in anbar province have pledged allegiance to the islamic state of iraq and levant. after meeting in fallujah, they pledged support to the head of i.s.i.l., abu bakr al-baghdadi. >> translation: we announce our support to the caliphate state and the commander sheikh abu bakr al-baghdadi. we tell him we'll adhere to and follow his path and stand by him to fight the enemies of religion with the latest from imran khan in baghdad.

what this a surprise? what are the factor that made this happen, what else do you know? . >> this was a surprise, anyone watching will tell you for the at last few years, the anger the sunnis felt has risen and risen, they feel they've been ignored by this government and the previous government. they said they were promised jobs in the army none of that happened, a year although fallujah was occupied by i.s.i.l. fighters and they said this they needed to be armed, they were the only people to get rid of this they did it with al qaeda in iraq in 2008, a predecessor to i.s.i.l. those pleas fell on deaf rears, particularly under the maliki government, and haider al-abadi reached out to some of the sunni tribes but has not been able to get through to all. this announcement on wednesday

is crucial. we don't know if the announcement comes under duress because fallujah is underoccupation. some of the tribes may think they have no choice. either way, what happened is i.s.i.l. has a number of new fighters at their disposal and they are using that. we are hearing of attacks in fallujah. it looks like they are going to really take the fight to the iraqi security forces and their anger boiled over into violence. >> could this be a sign of other developments coming? >> it depends on how much influence a lot has. a lot is a tribe. they have several thousands under the tribal name. it depends on how much influence they have on the other tribes. there's a number of pro-government tribes fighting.

they'll want to reach out to their brethren their people that they know and get them to swap sides. there's a lot of politics what is happening is the idea of the sunni anger getting to the point where it means they are taking sides. that is crucial. haider al-abadi's government is going to have to work overtime in getting the sunni shakes to swap sides. >> imran khan live from baghdad. thank you. now to revelations from f.i.f.a. scandal. former top executive chuck blazer admitted taking and arranging bribes for the 19982010 world cups -- 1998 and 2010 world cups and so did others. the former vice president said he'll tell investigators everything he knows and provide documents. jack warner has been indicted for alleged corruption.

laurence lee has more from zoourics where f.i.f.a. has its hours. >> how seriously they take the allegations and claims by jack warner, but on the face of it they are explosive since his primary assertion is that he wants to take down sepp blatter. it's worth bearing in mind that a lot of what jack warner says is random. and some thing he comes across as a bit unhinged.

of all, three years ago he said he destroyed a lot of documents that he now says are in the hands of a third party, one would assume the legal teams, that would be put in the hands of american prosecutors. but the main point is intent. for whatever reason jack warner has the knives out for sepp blatter. why has he said all these things now, perhaps he knows there's an interpol red light against him. perhaps he saw what blazer does cutting a deal. maybe he thinks if he does this he'd get a lesser indictment. overall. what you see is the strategy by the fbi in the states working with interpol trying to chip away at the empower of the sepp blatter, getting at the former lieu tep ants. trying to build a case. he hasn't resigned.

he's head of f.i.f.a. and at work now. >> laurence lee reporting. >> in india 17 soldiers have been killed in one of the worst attacks on the indian army. the soldiers were ambushed by an armed group in india's north-east. we are joined live from new delhi with details on what happened. what else can you tell us? >> yes, from what we understand this attack took place this morning. the army convoy was on the way from the district to the capital. that is where the attack happened. there has been 12 naturally personnel injured. they have been taken to hospitals deaf -- the tension was high in terms of conflict. it was high. a woman was killed by army - members of the army.

that has potentially led to the attack. deaf in terms of context. manny purr is home. she has been on strike calling for a repelling of the act. it will be a story that we are watching. as you mentioned one of the worst attacks on the army in recent years. that report from new delhi. thank you. former president ali abdullah saleh is being accused of double dealing with al qaeda and the united states. a former operative who became a government informant spoke exclusively to al jazeera saying ali abdullah saleh supported and directed al qaeda in the arab peninsula, despite the united states being a supporter of his. >> reporter: this car bomb

attack in a yemeni province killed eight spanish tourists. al-qaeda claimed responsibility. this man says there's more to the story. and it may involve the former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: he was a member of al qaeda until his arrest by pakistani intelligence and the c.i.a. in 2004. returned to yemen, gaoled until 2006, he was released, he was released and began work as a paid informant for the yemeni government. he claims he warned security agencies a week before the attack, and provided details on the day itself. just over a year later, a daring assault on the embassy left 19 dead.

he again says he warned the security services. three months before, a week before, and three days before. >> reporter: his handler was ali abdullah saleh's nephew, the colonel. he said he did not just ignore the attacks, he went so far as to hand over money for the explosives used in the u.s. embassy attack. the colonel arranged for the materials to be given to the al qaeda commander in the arabian

peninsula peninsula. al jazeera verified his background within al qaeda, and we established that he was a bomb-maker. that's how he gained detailed knowledge about the attacks. he lost his right thumb handling explosives. we showed his testimony to two retired intelligence officers. they are experts on al qaeda. >> my interpretation is, again, that this is a guy who in substantial measure is who he says he is, he knows these people. he has insights into how they operate. >> if you look at the history of al qaeda, few people came out with details of what is going on at the top. someone reporting what was going on in months, years, even if it's a few years back, is an

extraordinary valuable. >> if i had to give them a ballpark grade, i would say probably like 70-30, 70 being genuine. >> spain and the u.s. investigated the attacks, and closed their cases. the colonel could not be reached for comment. they said that they are willing to testify in front of an international panel in order to bring justice. you can see watch the full documentary on thursday and it's online. there's extended interviews many articles, lots of information there, check that out. still to come on al jazeera - relatives of the 400 cruise ship passengers feared drowned are angry at a lack of information

they are being given. and democracy returns to thailand. a year after the coup we hear from the country's prime minister. e minister.

to the top stories on al jazeera. in india 17 soldiers have been killed in one of the worst attacks on the indian army in recent times. the soldiers were ambushed by an armed group in manny purr in india's north-east several sunni tribal shakes and iraq pledged allegiance to

the islamic state of iraq and levant. they met in the city of fallujah and pledged support to the head of i.s.i.l. >> former f.i.f.a. executive chuck blazer has admitted taking and arranging bribes for the 1998 and 2010 world cups and he said others did as well. former f.i.f.a. wp jack warner is promising to reveal what he called an avalanche of secrets swiss company nestle's noodle brand maggie is facing a nation-wide crackdown in india after allegations that samples contained high levels of led. the provincial government in new delhi planned sales and banned legal action. several states tested samples, and big retail chains pulled it off the racks. the led levels are within acceptable limits. >> we are waiting for the reports from all states to come and we'll take a complete picture of the whole issue, and

accordingly action will be taken. no laxity will be left. appropriate action will be taken accordingly. >> the chief operating officer at voice society specialising in consumer education joins us from new delhi. thank you so much for your time. are you confident yet that this product is out of circulation? >> well under some of the tastings in the country and several states there is something amiss in the lead levels. definitely yes. we still are awaiting food safety. authorities to the port which should be coming by tomorrow latest in fact and by then. >> how reliable is the testing?

>> see the issue is both at the central level. the central ministry and the state. this is a state subject where the state food commissioners are entrusted with the safety of the consumers and food articles. they are supposed to basically be responsible for the states for the operation in the states and for this each state has to file a separate complaint send a notice to nestle and take them to the court. it's a cumbersome process, where each state has to take nestle to court and file a complate for what has taken place. obviously there are some states which have found no traces of led or msg. they will not file the cases. at the central level, we have consumer affairs military filing a suit for the first time under the consumer protection act.

that is a national forum. and the hearing will begin, and the notice has been served through nestle on this. there are two types of actions happening here - at the state level and at the central level. >> operating officer, voice society, thank you for your time and information an explosion and fire at a petrol station in ghana kills 80 people. the fire spread to neighbouring buildings. many people were sheltering in the petrol station because of rain and flooding. we are joined now from the capital. what are you hearing about how in fire started? >> well there's a confused picture. what we understand is because of the heavy rain somehow there was a leak from the area. so the water was carrying the fuel along its path, and

somewhere near there was near fire. it happens that that fire messed up with the fuel and wept back to the petrol station, and it caused the explosion. i can see 50 burnt-out vehicles. because people were sheltering from the rains, many more people were standing around. the number is likely to be higher than that. people have been killed, and we have seen with our own eyes bodies taken from the scene. emergency services, the national disaster authorities are here at the scene, trying to understand what happened. >> all right. that report from ghana on this explosion that killed at least 80 people. thank you. relatives of the 400 cruise ship passengers feared drowned in china are angry at the lack

of information they are given and are questioning how most of the 14 survivors are crew members. rescuers are drilling holes in the hull, but without success, as adrian brown reports from janely. ... this is what pan axe n is waiting for. his grandfather is one of the

mi have spent more time with him after i came home from overseas. we let him travel alone with friends. we didn't expect this. >> they are trap pd in the cold administration -- trapped in the cold administration of loss. at the local hospital, other families gather around the front desk desperately leaving phone numbers, asking to be called. at a meeting with a government official, they are told the priority is to save lives, not identify bodies please be patient, he tells them. but they weren't patient on wednesday night, as they tried to break through a police cord job, after being denied access to the rescue site. >> many of the families direct their anger against the authorities, complaining of a lack of information, a lack of sympathy and question why so many survivors were members of the crew. >> i want a responsible attitude from the government.

i hope the government can think about the mood. sensing the mood might become more hostile. police outside the hospital have been issued megaphones. june the 4th is a sensitive day in china, student protests mr put down violently 26 years ago, and the government is intolerant of all forms of dissent. even grieving from families demanding answers. >> four off-duty soldiers have been killed when gunmen ambushed their car in southern thailand. police say the soldiers played a friendly possible match and were on their way back to the barracks, the attack was in the prove lips where they were fighting for autonomy. >> the italian prop has been speaking to al jazeera, and is committed to restoring democracy despite election delays. human rights groups are continuing to accuse the

government of deciphering dissent. correspondent scott heidler has more from bangkok. >> retired general and former head of thailand's army the prime minister says he's a reluctant leader and wants to make it clear he's a soldiers not a politician. >> looking forward, you say that you hope to hold democratics elections, you stopped democracy in thailand what will your role be. >> under the roadmap we are in the first phase currently we are in the second.

which is drafting a constitution. the permanent one. when people are okay with the new constitution, it will lead to another phase. general election. after the election, i will pack my bag and go home. i'll be sitting at home watching thailand progress in the right direction. >> the prime minister in thailand is in the middle of the asian migrant crisis. last week in bangkok a meeting was held to coordinate operations for those still out at sea. on wednesday, a 3-star general turned himself in. he is accused of being involved in human trafficking. he says he's innocent. recently one officer has been implicated in being involved in these human trafficking networks. how do you respond to that. we were hearing from top brass in the military, and the administration that no military was involved in the hearing. they were. >> i said once that there was no military involved. this is because we didn't find any evidence. now that we have traces for him. he must be involved in the trafficking ring. one thing i would like to make clear is this military government has been working hard

on solving human trafficking problems. there was not any other government before working as we do now. it's not an easy task to clean up the network or system. >> and there are many for challenges the prime minister will face before delayed elections take place, and that means more work before he can, as he says, step out of the political spotlight and watch from home. there's concern in nepal that distribution and aid in areas hit by quake is unfair. people that open their hopes are getting help. rernt are not -- renters are not. in the chaos, people have lost documents that makes claiming aid difficulty. harry fawcett reports. in this town, brick by brick they are starting again. shattered homes are being cleared out. building materials collected. all thanks to community initiatives.

here, as in many places, the earthquake lays bear gaps in the system. this is unsafe. this couple had $20 in financial aid. they are worried about their tenants. >> translation: when i asked the municipality to provide tenants with relief, they said they have to go to their home villages. it's impossible to provide them with relief here, legally. only home owners are provided with help. >> reporter: two of the families that used to live in the house, home for now is this bit of ground. the two main earners are policemen, entitled to continuing pay. those who owned property damaged in the quake can claim the $150 aid to replace makeshift tents with shelters in time for the monsoon. >> there's more tenants in need than home owners. since the rooms are destroyed, where will we go. >> the government keen to prevent double claiming said

tenants will only get money if they prove losses in their home districts. not if they prove losses now. >> what will they do with the money, the tenant, they have no land in that particular place. >> such problems are compounded by what the quakes have done physically to the bureaucracy. the district office was almost obliterated. personal paper trails among the damage. there was one bit of good fortune. entire shelves are intact in the one surviving part of the building. >> given how much has been destroyed. it was a huge stroke of luck. so much of the records have been preserved. if you come around, if you come to the back of the building, there's another tarpaulin on top of a less organised pile of paperwork.

piecing this together is a mammoth task, one that has to be repeated around the country. >> here, few are waiting for help. two families in this shelter say they'll be finished in day, and will be refocused on building businesses. starting back on where life was when the earthquake struck. the retrial of three al jazeera journalists has been adjourn again by a week. the case was adjourned last monday. after the prosecution finished closing arguments which claimed the journalists endangered egypt's natural security. mohamed fadel fahmy and mohammed badr were present. peter greste has not returned for the trial anthrax mailed to military bases is twice what was previously thought. the pentagon said more than 50
