Martha Raddatz Answers 'This Week' Viewer Questions

This week, Martha Raddatz, who is ABC News' Chief Global Affairs Correspondent, answers the questions that you submitted on the "This Week" Facebook page about her long career as a journalist.

1) Travis Stinger Williams: You are awesome! Do you recognize your own awesomeness?

Raddatz: "I do not consider myself remotely awesome! But my job at ABC News is pretty awesome and so are the people I meet and the places I travel. One of the things I don't do at home is talk a lot about myself or what I do. Even though my kids are both grown now, I would much rather hear about what they are doing than what I have done. It helps keep me grounded. I suspect you would find me pretty down-to-earth despite all the trappings of TV career! But, your 'awesome' comments will secretly make my day! So thanks!"

2) Susan Colquitt : What's the secret to your success? How has been being a woman negatively impacted your ability to access information and report the news?

Raddatz: "I honestly feel that whatever success I have had is due to simple hard work, drive and the great opportunities I have had at ABC News. I am not just trying to butter up my employers. It takes commitment from ABC to cover the things I have covered. I don't think being a woman has hurt me in any way. You have to just earn the respect of those you cover and keep working, working, working. Oh, and a sense of humor helps if you find yourself in awkward situations out in the field or in a fighter jet!"

3) Joel Sosa: What [is] the most interesting interview that you [have conducted]? Second, do you still remember your very first interview?

Raddatz: "I think one of the most interesting days was interviewing President Bush in Baghdad right after he got two shoes hurled at him. And I interviewed a group of soldiers right after a huge battle in 2004 in Iraq that was as profound as anything I have done. I don't remember the first interview, but I remember the first time I saw something truly awful on an international scale. I went to Ethiopia to cover the famine in the mid-eighties. The scope of that tragedy, and what we saw, was mind-numbing. Women were trying to give me their babies because they were starving. They literally were running after our truck holding out their infants, hoping we would take them out of that country. We couldn't, of course. Heartbreaking."

4) Rick Gibbs: Martha, what military conflict you have covered upset you the most?

Raddatz: "They are all powerful experiences, but my experiences in Iraq were most upsetting. I spent the day in a combat support hospital where I saw a young soldier whose legs had been blown off, and also an Iraqi child who died before our eyes. I have also seen the aftermath of suicide bombings in the Middle East that I will never forget, and the injured and dead in Afghanistan. It stays with me. It always will."

5) Connie Policriti: How do you stay so focused when traveling the world so often? Great job.

Raddatz: " Thank you! I have a travel routine. It is easier for me to pack to go to Afghanistan than it is to California. I swear I know every flight attendant that travels on international flights. The hours are horrendous when we are overseas. We work all day (an especially early start if I am with the military) and then when most people over there are just getting up, it is time to start writing a story for World News. Thank goodness for caffeine and red licorice and chocolate."

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian President Bashar Assad vowed Friday to avenge the death of a senior pro-government cleric who was killed along with dozens of people in a suicide bombing at a Damascus mosque, saying he would "purge our country" of the militants behind the attack in the heart of the capital.

Both Assad and the rebels seeking to topple him blamed each other for Thursday's bombing at the mosque. At least 49 people were killed, including the 84-year-old preacher and his grandson, the government said, in one of the most brazen assassinations of the Syrian civil war.

Although the cleric was despised by the rebels for his unwavering support of the regime, opposition leaders condemned his killing.

In a rare statement on Syrian state media, Assad framed the attack as part of a terrorist conspiracy against his government and praised the slain preacher, Sheik Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti.

"Your works full of truthfulness and belief were the best expression of the essence and light of Islam in confronting the powers of darkness and extremist thought that considers others infidels," Assad was quoted as saying by the SANA news agency.

He blamed "terrorists" ? his standard shorthand for the opposition ? for the attack, and vowed to "purge our country of them."

"And this is a promise from the Syrian people, and I am one of them, that your blood, that of your grandson and the blood of all today's martyrs and all martyrs of the homeland will not go in vain," the statement from Assad said.

Al-Buti, Syria's best-known cleric and the most prominent religious figure killed so far in the conflict, had supported the regime since the early days of Assad's father and predecessor, the late President Hafez Assad, providing legitimacy to their rule. Sunnis are the majority sect in Syria while Assad is from the minority Alawite sect ? an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

The opposition Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Right put the death toll in the bombing at 52. No group claimed responsibility for the blast.

The exile opposition Syrian National Coalition blamed Assad's government for the attack, arguing that the bomber could have only reached the heavily guarded mosque with regime support.

"He who does not hesitate to bomb mosques, universities and bakeries and target residential areas with Scud missiles cannot be expected to refrain from carrying out terrorist explosions that kill innocent Syrian civilians," the statement said.

Coalition leader Mouaz al-Khatib, who rose to prominence preaching in the same historic mosque as al-Buti, acknowledged their political differences.

"We almost never agreed with his political opinions and we see his position toward rulers as not theologically sound, but we view his killing as a crime that opens the doors of evil that only God knows," al-Khatib said on his Facebook page.

He suggested the regime had a hand in the bombing, saying he thought al-Buti was changing his views on the civil war.

"We think the regime liquidated him, fearing that a courageous position from him would flip the entire balance," he said.

Al-Buti's killing exposed the weak links between the rebel fighters on the ground and their purported political leadership, and it could boost the government's argument that Islamic extremists dominate the uprising.

In Amman, Jordan, President Barack Obama said Assad is sure to go but added that he was worried about Syria becoming a haven for extremists afterward.

Standing beside King Abdullah II of Jordan, Obama said the international community must work together to ensure there is a credible opposition ready to take over.

"Something has been broken in Syria, and it's not going to be put back together perfectly immediately ? even after Assad leaves," Obama said. "But we can begin the process of moving it in a better direction, and having a cohesive opposition is critical to that."

Al-Buti's killing came near the start of the third year of the Syrian crisis, with rebel and regime forces largely stalemated and an estimated 70,000 people dead. The opposition is trying to get organized enough to provide basic services to people in rebel-held areas and better coordinate the hundreds of independent groups fighting across Syria.

Earlier this week, the coalition elected an interim prime minister. Coalition members hope U.S.-educated Ghassan Hitto will encourage world powers to back the rebels with badly needed funding and weapons.

But so far, the coalition has failed to project its authority inside of Syria or exercise any control over the groups fighting Assad on the ground, many of them fueled by extremist ideologies and calling for an Islamic state.

Most expect it was one of those groups that killed al-Buti, reflecting how little the opposition's exile leadership has over groups on the ground.

Hilal Khashan, political scientist at the American University in Beirut, dismissed opposition claims that the regime killed al-Buti and said it was unlikely that the killing would cause many Syrians to changes sides in the war.

Although a Sunni Muslim like most of the rebels, al-Buti's continued defense of Assad pushed many in his sect away long ago.

"Sunnis who are against Assad have already made their choice and gone to the opposition, and I don't think that those in the opposition who are condemning it are really against it," he said.

Instead, the attack ? the conflict's first suicide bombing inside a mosque ? could mark the start of a dark new stage in the civil war.

"Attacking a mosque and killing worshippers is not a blow to the government or a victory for the opposition," Khashan said. "I see it as a small example of what will happen in post-Assad Syria."

Al-Buti's funeral is scheduled for Saturday in Damascus following noon prayers. Assad declared it a day of mourning.

Also Friday, the U.N.'s top human rights body extended its investigation into suspected abuses in Syria through March 2014, a half-year longer than originally proposed.

The panel, which began its work in August 2011, said earlier this month that it was collecting evidence on 20 alleged massacres in Syria, a reflection of the civil war's growing brutality.

Elsewhere in Syria, activists reported shelling and clashes in the northern province of Aleppo, the suburbs of Damascus and the southern province of Daraa.

In neighboring Lebanon, pro- and anti-Assad gunmen fought in the northern port city of Tripoli, leaving six people dead and more than 20 wounded, according to state-run National News Agency. Clashes between the Sunni neighborhood of Bab Tabbaneh, which supports Syria's rebels, and the adjacent Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, which supports Assad, have broken out repeatedly in recent months.

Also in Tripoli, the Lebanese army said a soldier was killed and several others wounded in an army raid to capture several gunmen.

Syria's crisis began with political protests in March 2011 and has since become a civil war.

Many fear that violence in Syria could unsettle Lebanon since the countries share a complex web of political and sectarian ties and rivalries that are easily enflamed.

Police: Teen carjackers lock woman, 89, in trunk for two days

By Lauren DiSanto, NBC Philadelphia

Five teenagers have been charged in the carjacking and abduction of an 89-year-old woman from Lincoln, Del.

Delaware State Police say Margaret Smith was approached on Monday by two teen girls at the Chicken Man convenience store in Milford, who asked her for a ride.

Smith agreed and drove the two girls to a house in the Lincoln area, but when they arrived, police say the teenagers demanded her keys and began struggling with her.

---

After getting their hands on the keys, police say the girls ordered Smith to get out of the car, forced her into the trunk and drove off.

Smith was trapped in the trunk for two days, before being dropped off at a cemetery east of Seaford. Police say at some point during the two days, the teens stole $500 from Smith.

Police found the elderly woman wandering at the cemetery early Wednesday morning.

Later that night, police pulled over the stolen car on Chaplains Chapel Road in Bridgeville. Five teens, including the two girls who locked Smith in the trunk, were arrested.

The teens ranged in age from 14 to 17.

'The Croods' is sweet, but lacks wit, robust plot

By David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

DreamWorks

REVIEW -- Two of the principal plot drivers in "The Croods" are an athletic Neanderthal chick with a wild titian mop top and a rockin? bod packed into a tiger-fur sheath and a brainy boy babe with skater-dude hair, perfect pecs and the waistline of a supermodel, not to mention a pioneering flair for accessories. But the core audience for DreamWorks? 3D animated prehistoric family adventure is probably less the tweens and teens those adolescent lovebirds would suggest than the younger tykes who flocked to a comedy franchise situated elsewhere on the paleontology chart,?"Ice Age."

More from THR: PHOTOS: Berlin 2013: Behind the Scenes of THR's Actors Roundtable

The humor and charm in?Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco?s film is too uneven to help it approach that series' mammoth market share. But its mostly fast-moving roller coaster of kinetic action and its menagerie of fantastic creatures ? from cute to menacing ? should keep kids entertained. They?ll also have no trouble grasping the simple message to face your fears and embrace change.

The film evolved out of a project first announced at Cannes in 2005 under the title "Crood Awakening," which was to reteam DreamWorks with artisanal British toon shop Aardman Animation after successes like "Chicken Run." That earlier version was being co-written by DeMicco with John Cleese, who retains a story credit here.

While his neighbors steadily have succumbed to the perils of the Stone Age, Crood brood patriarch Grug (Nicolas Cage) has kept his family safe by sticking to the simple rules mapped out in the cave paintings. His credo is: ?Fear keeps us alive. Never not be afraid.? (Grammar obviously isn?t his strong point.) ?No one said survival was fun.? Curiosity, for Grug, equals danger.

The hell they have to go through for sustenance is outlined in a dizzying hunting sequence near the start that?s like an over-caffeinated pro football game with a giant bird egg in place of the pigskin. Everyone in the family plays a role on the team, from wife Ugga (Catherine Keener) to plucky teenage daughter Eep (Emma Stone), lunkhead son Thunk (Clark Duke) and leathery Gran (Cloris Leachman), Grug?s barely tolerated mother-in-law. Even the feral infant, Sandy, is deployed on cue with the battle cry, ?Release the baby!?

But despite their tight synergy, the Croods? world literally is crumbling around them. Eep?s growing rebellion against the physical and mental darkness of cave life also is causing friction with Dad. When she follows the light one night and meets Guy (Ryan Reynolds), with his mysterious invention of fire and his warnings of the destruction to come, Eep propels the family onto a quest toward the higher ground of tomorrow. Once she?s seen fire and she?s seen rain, there?s no looking back.

Aside from the earth opening up beneath them, the boulders flying and the predators at every turn, the chief conflict is between brawny Grug?s belief in his strength and Guy?s revolutionary reliance on ideas. The protective father?s anxiety over his daughter?s first crush adds to this still-somewhat-undernourished friction. Guy has a de rigueur animal sidekick in a sloth named Belt (?voiced? by co-director Sanders), who serves to hold up his pants as well as bring a cheeky sense of the dramatic.

Sanders and DeMicco?s script doesn?t have the robust plotting, consistent wit or flavorful character development of the best family animation. And some of the voice actors have too little to work with. Keener?s Ugga, for instance, is a strictly standard-issue caring Mom, while much of the humor built around Thunk?s obtuseness is soft. And like Betty White?s raunchy oldsters, Leachman?s ornery crones are starting to get as tired as those funky rapping grannies from ?90s New Line comedies.

More from THR:'The Croods' Makes World Debut With Eye Towards Possible Franchise

With his weary rasp, however, Cage makes Grug a touching figure -- a knuckle-dragger at first and then steadily more resourceful as he sees the light. Stone?s smoky-voiced sweetness is nicely paired with the character?s butt-kicking physicality (it?s refreshing to see an animated teen girl more strapping than the cookie-cutter slender-princess model), and Reynolds brings the right note of earnestness to his forward-thinker.

Basically a journey tale with its erratic momentum pumped up by Alan Silvestri?s hard-working score, "The Croods" has its share of rambunctious episodes and frantic narrow escapes. Notable among them is the threat of a tornado-like flock of vicious Piranhakeets, razor-toothed birds that can strip a beast to its bones in seconds. ?Stay inside the family kill circle!? warns Grug as they descend.

There?s a large assortment of fantasy animals to keep the merchandise division busy, among them parrot-hued giant felines, dogs with crocodile jaws, land-dwelling whales, monkeys with killer right hooks and owl-headed bears that owe a debt to Maurice Sendak. These critters give the film more in common with the slapsticky Looney Tunes era than with animation of recent vintage.

"The Croods"?mercifully refrains from leaning too hard on anachronistic dialogue for laughs, settling for the occasional ?awesome? or ?sucky.? And it?s light on pop cultural cross-referencing, which also is a blessing. But especially after so many animated movies have raised the bar, the shortage of sophisticated humor likely will narrow the appeal here chiefly to the 4-to-10 age range.

More from THR: DreamWorks Animation Stock Surges 8 Percent After Analyst Upgrade

There are some decent gags built around inventions and accidental discoveries, such as snapshots, shoes (?Aaahhh!!! I love them,? squeals Eep in her prototype Uggs) and popcorn, in a crowd-baiting wink to the multiplex populace. Other touches, like the birth of the hug (rhymes with Grug), tap into an innocuous vein of schmaltz. But another polish or two to punch up the script wouldn?t have hurt.

Aside from teen dreamboat Guy, the character animation is not the prettiest; even Eep is slapped with rough-hewn features on an ultra-wide face. But there?s considerable imagination in the rendering of the landscapes, ranging from barren rock to lush jungle vegetation full of vibrantly exotic flora. Cinematography luminary Roger Deakins is credited as visual consultant, his influence perhaps discernible in the glow of stars, sun and fire, which is fitting given the thematic centrality of stepping into the light after hiding in darkness.

Rwanda won't hinder US Embassy warlord transfer

KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) ? Rwanda's justice minister said Thursday his government will not hinder the transfer of the warlord Bosco Ntaganda from the U.S. Embassy in Kigali to the International Criminal Court.

Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama told The Associated Press that his government has no intention of blocking or hindering the impending transfer of Ntaganda, a warlord who is charged with terrorizing eastern Congo for years.

Ntaganda has been living in the U.S. Embassy since Monday, when he showed up at the front door unannounced and uninvited and asked to be transferred to the ICC to faces charges at The Hague, Netherlands.

The Rwandan minister said there is no need for speculation that Rwanda could stand in the way of that transfer.

"How can Rwanda be a hindrance to somebody who wants to hand himself to the International Criminal Court? It is a deal between himself, the ICC and the U.S. government. Rwanda has nothing to do with it," Karugarama said.

The top U.S. State Department official for Africa, Johnnie Carson, said Wednesday he hoped Rwanda would ensure Ntaganda is able to move freely from the embassy to the airport, and that his transfer would "in no way be inhibited."

Karugarama said there was no need to think that Rwanda might stand in the way. "Why should Carson and anybody, including the media, start speculating that Rwanda will block the transfer? It is not in our habits to block anybody who wants to contribute to justice," he said.

Karugarama said Rwanda has not received any communication from the International Criminal Court on whether any of its officials are heading to Rwanda to facilitate the transfer of Ntaganda, who is nicknamed "The Terminator." A spokesman for the ICC, Fadi El Abdallah, said Wednesday that the ICC is "contacting authorities in Rwanda and the Americans in order to check how we can get him as soon as possible." He wouldn't elaborate on the nature of the contacts.

Ntaganda, who was born in Rwanda but has operated for years in Congo, has a reputation for ruthless methods on the battlefield. His ICC arrest warrant describes how Ntaganda would not hesitate to shell villages with heavy artillery before launching an attack in which his men would kill people with machetes, knifes and rifles.

Those who recently fought alongside him say Ntaganda fled Congo over the weekend after his men lost a key battle against fighters who split off last month from the M23 rebel movement.

Analysts have speculated that Rwandan President Paul Kagame may not want to see Ntaganda testify at The Hague court because of his knowledge of military deals and illicit mineral extractions between Congo and Rwanda.

Congo has been wracked by warfare for years, and Carson noted that some experts indicate 5 million people have died in violence. Women suffer from mass rapes and children are forced to become soldiers.

But even with Ntaganda out of the picture, peace in eastern Congo remains a long way off. The victorious M23 faction of Gen. Sultani Makenga has lost little strength in the fighting with Ntaganda's faction, and troop morale is high after defeating one of the most feared warlords in Africa. Makenga himself does not have an international arrest warrant against him, but is under United Nations sanctions and has a track record of similar crimes to those committed by Ntaganda.
