First London, Now Egypt Bombings July 26, 2005 - Within minutes of ZUMA photojournalist Nadav Neuhaus' arrival in Israel last week, news broke that terrorists struck again in Egypt. Thanks to his quick response, ZUMA had a steady flow of coverage soon after the car explosions ripped through the luxury hotel in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm El Sheikh. Nadav has since returned to Israel, where he is continuing his ongoing reportage on the upcoming disengagement plans for Gaza, and remains on stand by for assignments across the region. To book him on assignment, please contact Trish Murphy or Ruaridh Stewart at 949.481.3747. zNews NASA's Back in Business After a two-week-long delay due to a faulty fuel tank, the Discovery space shuttle has launched out of Florida for the first time since the tragic Columbia accident two and a half years ago.

Full text is available upon request. For more information, e-mail pd@ZUMApress.com. Pakistan's Pleasure Boys by Thomas Kelly/TCS/ZUMA Press  In a country where social laws are so strict that men are not permitted to socialize with any woman other than their wives or family members, male prostitution and abuse such as pederasty exist. Although homosexuality is generally unacknowledged in Pakistan, Peshawar has the most notorious reputation for homoeroticism, and adolescent boys preyed upon for their beauty. Boys as young as eight years old, and who are mostly Afghan refugees, are employed by buses and hotels to attract patrons--whether or not it requires selling their bodies. Discover the shocking and disturbing truths that TCS photographer, Thomas Kelly, uncovered in Pleasure Boys. Chronicles of the Keystone Archive Only twice in the history of warfare have nuclear weapons been delivered. In the effort to end World War II, the U.S. military dropped the first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima August 6th 1945, and just three days later, another dropped another on Nagasaki. Next month marks the 60th anniversary of the bombing that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing over 120,000 civilians and, over the years, twice that number died of nuclear diseases.
