SitiWanMahani - Satu serangan bom pemberontak membunuh 31 pasukan tentera Syria di pangkalan tentera berhampiran Damsyik pada hari Ahad. 4 jeneral adalah antara yang terbunuh. Serangan itu datang di tengah-tengah serangan rejim utama terhadap kedudu-kan pemberontak di Damsyik dan Aleppo, AFP melaporkan .

“3 jeneral dan brigadier - am adalah antara 31 askar terbunuh dalam serangan bom yang menyebabkan sebuah bangunan di tempat pengangkutan tentera di Harasta runtuh,” Balai Cerap Syria bagi Hak Asasi Manusia pengarah Rami Abdul Rahman berkata.

Kumpulan pemberontak Direh al- Aasmeh (Perisai Damsyik ) brigade - yang merupakan sebahagian daripada yang disokong Barat Free Syrian Army - telah mengaku bertang-gungjawab terhadap serangan tersebut, menyiarkan video letupan itu di YouTube. Video menunjukkan bangunan tentera runtuh.

“Masa serangan adalah penting” kerana tentera kerajaan baru sahaja kembali beberapa kubu kuat pemberontak di kawasan itu, tambah Rahman.

Kuasa-kuasa kerajaan dilaporkan di tengah-tengah serangan di bandar qara, yang terletak di utara ibu kota berhampiran sempadan dengan Lubnan.” Pesawat perang menghujani bandar banyak semalam ( Sabtu). Tentera rejim cuba untuk menyerang dan untuk memandu pemberontak keluar,” kata Rahman.

“Terdapat spekulasi bahawa pemberontak dapat menyusup pangkalan tentera, kerana bahan letupan itu mungkin diletakkan “sama ada di dalam atau di bawah bangunan dalam terowong,” katanya lagi.

Wartawan Ukraine Ankhar Kochneva mengesahkan serangan itu di blog beliau. Kochneva berada di Harasta apabila dia mendengar letupan dan merasakan bangunan itu yang ia berada bergoncang. Beliau menyifatkan letupan itu sebagai salah satu yang sangat besar, dengan banyak kematian dan kecederaan.

Konflik 2 tahun telah membunuh lebih daripada 100,000 orang dan dipindahkan lebih daripada satu juta pelarian. Ekonomi Syria telah kehilangan kira-kira US $ 100 bilion semasa perang - yang bersamaan dengan 2 tahun, menurut Syria Timbalan Perdana Menteri Qadri Jamil.

Moscow dan Washington mengatakan mereka komited untuk membawa kedua-dua belah konflik ke meja rundingan di persidangan keamanan Geneva 2. Satu set awal rundingan di Geneva berpecah tahun lalu selepas hanya satu hari.

4 Syrian generals among 31 dead in rebel bomb attack (VIDEO)

A rebel bomb attack killed 31 Syrian military troops on an army base near Damascus on Sunday. Four generals were among those killed. The attack came amid a major regime offensive against rebel positions around Damascus and Aleppo, AFP reported.

"Three generals and a brigadier-general were among 31 troops killed in a bomb attack that caused a building in the army transport base in Harasta to collapse,'' Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdul Rahman said.

The rebel group Direh al-Aasmeh (Shield of Damascus) brigade - which is part of the Western-backed Free Syrian Army - has claimed responsibility for the attack, posting a video of the blast on YouTube. The video shows the military building collapsing.

"The timing of the attack is significant” since government troops have only just regained several rebel strongholds in the area, Rahman added.

The government forces were reportedly in the midst of an offensive in the town of Qara, located north of the capital near the border with Lebanon. “Warplanes bombarded the town heavily yesterday (Saturday). Regime troops are trying to storm it and to drive the rebels out,” Rahman said.

"There is speculation that rebels could have infiltrated the military base, as the explosive device was probably placed "either inside or beneath the building in a tunnel,” he continued.

Ukrainian journalist Ankhar Kochneva confirmed the attack on her blog. Kochneva was in Harasta when she heard the blast and felt the building she was in shake. She described the blast as a very large one, with many dead and wounded.

The two-year conflict has already killed more than 100,000 people and displaced more than one million refugees. Syria’s economy has lost an estimated US$100 billion during the war - the equivalent of two years of normal production, according to Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil.

Moscow and Washington say they are committed to bringing both sides of the conflict to the negotiating table at the Geneva-2 peace conference. An earlier set of talks in Geneva broke up last year after just one day.

Kebimbangan Perisik: CIA, ‘Kerja terhadap’ Pentagon Rusia membina stesen GLONASS di Amerika Syarikat . . .

SitiWanMahani - Perisikan Amerika Syarikat dan tentera yang menekan Jabatan Negeri tidak dilesenkan (not to license) pembinaan stesen monitor untuk GLONASS sistem navigasi Rusia di wilayah Amerika Syarikat, media mendedahkan. Stesen dilaporkan mencetuskan kebimbangan peluang mengintip.

Moscow menghantar permintaan untuk membina stesen monitor untuk GLONASS, sistem satelit Rusia sama dengan GPS, di wilayah Amerika Syarikat pada Mei 2012.

White House telah memikirkan cadangan sejak itu. Beberapa mesyuarat antara pihak berkuasa Rusia dan Amerika di stesen monitor GLONASS di Amerika Syarikat telah berlaku, tetapi setakat ini keselamatan Amerika Syarikat dan agensi-agensi tentera tidak bersetuju tentang bagaimana untuk bertindak balas kepada permintaan Moscow.

CIA dan Pentagon mengesyaki bahawa stesen itu boleh digunakan untuk mengumpul data perisikan dan tujuan ketenteraan yang lain, seperti mengumpul Koordinat sebenar kemu-dahan rahsia di Amerika Syarikat untuk ketepatan peluru berpandu panduan, laporan hujung minggu di The New York Times mendedahkan.

“Dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini, Agensi Perisikan Pusat dan Pentagon telah secara senyap-senyap melancarkan kempen untuk menghentikan Jabatan Negara daripada membenarkan Roscosmos . . . untuk membina kira-kira setengah dozen struktur ini, yang dikenali sebagai stesen monitor, di atas tanah Amerika Syarikat,” kata laporan itu mengatakan, memetik pegawai Amerika Syarikat tanpa nama.

Kebimbangan adalah bahawa stesen mungkin membantu Moscow mengintip Amerika Syarikat serta meningkatkan ketepatan senjata Rusia.

Spy fears: CIA, Pentagon ‘Work Against’ Russia building 

GLONASS station in US . . .

US intelligence and military are pressing the State Department not to license construction of monitor stations for Russia’s GLONASS navigation system on US territory, media reveals. The stations reportedly spark fears of spying opportunities.

Moscow sent a request to build monitor stations for GLONASS, a Russian satellite system similar to GPS, on US territory in May 2012.

The White House has been pondering over the proposal ever since. A number of meetings between Russian and American authorities on the GLONASS monitor stations in the US have taken place, but so far US security and military agencies have not agreed about how to react to Moscow’s request.

The CIA and Pentagon suspect that such stations could be used for collecting intelligence data and other military purposes, like collecting exact coordinates of covert facilities in the US for precision missile guidance, a weekend report in The New York Times revealed.

“In recent months, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon have been quietly waging a campaign to stop the State Department from allowing Roscosmos… to build about half a dozen of these structures, known as monitor stations, on United States soil,” the report alleges, quoting anonymous US officials.

The concerns are that the stations might help Moscow spy on the US as well as improve the precision of Russian weaponry.

Juga, penggubal undang-undang Amerika tidak suka idea bekerjasama dengan saingan langsung Amerika Syarikat kebangsaan Sistem Kedudukan Global.

Minggu lepas Mike D. Rogers, Wakil Republikan Alabama, menulis ‘mailout’ untuk Setia-usaha Negara John Kerry, Setiausaha Pertahanan Chuck Hagel dan pengarah perisikan negara, James R. clapper, menuntut penilaian mereka terhadap cadangan Rusia pada per-soalan kebangsaan keselamatan.

Selain dari Amerika Syarikat dan Russia, China dan EU juga membangunkan sistem SatNav mereka sendiri, Baidu dan Galileo masing-masing.

“Mereka tidak mahu menjadi bergantung kepada sistem Amerika dan percaya bahawa sistem mereka, seperti GPS, akan melahirkan industri dan aplikasi lain,” kata seorang bekas pegawai kanan di Pejabat Jabatan Negara Angkasa dan Teknologi Lanjutan kepada akh-bar itu. “Mereka merasakan seolah-olah mereka kehilangan kelebihan teknologi kepada kita dalam pasaran yang penting. Lihatlah segala-galanya GPS telah melakukan ke atas perkara-perkara seperti telefon anda dan pergerakan kapal terbang dan kapal-kapal.”

Namun, White House setakat ini telah menentang tuduhan masyarakat perisikan Amerika Syarikat terhadap Rusia sebagai “Ianya tidak melihat mereka sebagai ancaman,” kata seorang pegawai pentadbiran yang tidak dikenali.

Pentadbiran Obama sedang berusaha untuk memperbaiki hubungan Rusia- Amerika, rosak dari Syria dan perlindungan kepada bekas National Security Agency kontraktor Edward Snowden, yang mendedahkan dokumen- disokong bukti Amerika Syarikat mengintip tahap yang tidak pernah berlaku sebelum ini melalui rangkaian global, termasuk selepas sekutu mereka yang terdekat.

Dalam Oktober 2012 Vitaly Davydov, Timbalan bekas Roskosmos agensi angkasa Rusia, menunjukkan bahawa Moscow perlu menggunakan 8 stesen monitor di Amerika Syarikat untuk pengendalian yang betul sistem di Amerika Utara. Beliau juga berkata 19 stesen monitor Amerika GPS sistem kedudukan telah beroperasi di Rusia pada 2012.

Sebaliknya, dalam laporan terkini mengenai GLONASS di Amerika Syarikat, NYT mendak-wa bahawa tidak ada memantau stesen GPS di Rusia sekalipun.

Apakah GLONASS

 Pembangunan GLONASS sistem navigasi global bermula di Soviet Union, yang meletakkan satelit pertama sistem ke orbit pada 12 Oktober 1982. Sistem ini secara rasmi ditugaskan pada 24 September 1993.

Walaupun beberapa roket rosak dengan melancarkan satelit GLONASS dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, hari ini kumpulan orbit GLONASS terdiri daripada 27 satelit, di mana 24 memastikan navigasi global dan baki 3 adalah sama ada dalam rizab atau melakukan ujian peralatan eksperimen.

Rusia telah menggerakkan stesen sistem pembesaran ke luar negara untuk beberapa lama sudah. Setakat ini, terdapat 14 stesen monitor di Rusia, salah satu di Brazil dan satu di benua Antartika di Bellingshausen stesen Rusia.

Banyak stesen GLONASS dijangka akan dibina dalam masa terdekat: 8 di Rusia, 2 di Brazil, satu di Australia, Cuba, Indonesia, Sepanyol, Vietnam dan stesen tambahan di Antartika.

Ia telah mengesahkan lebih awal pada bulan November yang bermula dari 2014 semua telefon mudah alih dan peranti pegang tangan mudah alih dengan fungsi navigasi, sama ada yang diimport atau dikeluarkan di Rusia, perlu dilengkapi dengan GLONASS atau GLONASS dan mikrocip GPS.

Also, American lawmakers don’t like the idea of cooperating with the direct rival of the US national Global Positioning System.

Last week Mike D. Rogers, Republican Representative of Alabama, wrote a mailout to Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper, demanding their assessment of the Russian proposal on the question of national security.

Apart from the US and Russia, China and the EU are also developing satnav systems of their own, Baidu and Galileo respectively.

“They don’t want to be reliant on the American system and believe that their systems, like GPS, will spawn other industries and applications,” a former senior official in the State Department’s Office of Space and Advanced Technology told the newspaper. “They feel as though they are losing a technological edge to us in an important market. Look at everything GPS has done on things like your phone and the movement of planes and ships.”

Still, the White House so far has been opposing accusations of the US intelligence com-munity against Russia as “It doesn't see them as a threat,” an unidentified administration official said.

The Obama administration is currently trying to mend Russian-American relations, damaged over Syria and asylum to former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who revealed document-supported evidence of the US spying on unprecedented levels over global networks, including after their closest allies.

In October 2012 Vitaly Davydov, the former deputy of Russia’s Roskosmos space agency, revealed that Moscow needs to deploy eight monitor stations in the US for correct operation of the system in North America. He also disclosed that 19 monitor stations of American GPS positioning system were operable in Russia as of 2012.

On the contrary, in the latest report on the GLONASS in the US, the NYT claims that there are no GPS monitor stations in Russia whatsoever.

What is GLONASS

The development of the GLONASS global navigation system began in the Soviet Union, which put the very first satellite of the system into orbit on October 12, 1982. The system was officially commissioned on September 24, 1993.

Despite a number of faulty rocket launches with GLONASS satellites in recent years, today the GLONASS orbit group consists of 27 satellites, of which 24 ensure global navigation and the remaining three are either in reserve or perform experimental equipment tests.

Russia has been deploying augmentation system stations abroad for some time already. So far there are 14 monitor stations in Russia, one in Brazil and one on Antarctica's continent at Russia’s Bellingshausen station.

More GLONASS stations are expected to be built in the nearest future: eight in Russia, two in Brazil, one in Australia, Cuba, Indonesia, Spain, Vietnam and an additional station in the Antarctic.

It was confirmed earlier in November that starting from 2014 all mobile phones and portable handheld devices with navigation functions, either imported or produced in Russia, must be equipped with GLONASS, or GLONASS and GPS microchips.

GLONASS hari ini disokong pada produk daripada pengeluar yang terkemuka di DUNIA peranti pegang tangan, seperti Samsung, Nokia, Apple, Motorola dan lain-lain, serentak dengan GPS. Ini telah menjadi mungkin sebahagian besarnya kerana pengeluar utama mikrocip, seperti Qualcomm, telah mula mengeluarkan set cip GLONASS dibolehkan.

Pengenalan sistem kedudukan baru telah dialu-alukan oleh pelanggan di seluruh DUNIA, kerana menggunakan kedua-dua GLONASS dan GPS sistem meningkatkan ketepatan kedu-dukan. EGNOS projek Eropah menyatukan isyarat dari kedua-dua sistem dan memberikan kedudukan tepat ke antara 1.5 dan 3 meter di Eropah.

Dalam GLONASS dekad yang akan datang dijangka untuk menggantikan satelit sedia ada dengan platform generasi baru yang akan membolehkan 0.1 meter kedudukan tepat di mana sahaja di DUNIA, kecuali kawasan kutub planet ini.

Today GLONASS is supported on products from world-leading handheld device producers, such as Samsung, Nokia, Apple, Motorola and others, simultaneously with GPS. This has become possible largely because leading producers of microchips, such as Qualcomm, have started producing GLONASS-enabled chipsets.

The introduction of a new positioning system has been welcomed by customers worldwide, because using both GLONASS and GPS systems increases the precision of positioning. European EGNOS project unites signals from both systems and gives precision positioning down to between 1.5 and 3 meters in Europe.

Within the next decade GLONASS is expected to replace existing satellites with new generation platforms that would enable 0.1 meter precision positioning anywhere in the world, except the polar regions of the planet.

KEMALANGAN Berdengung (Drone) ke dalam KAPAL Tentera Laut MENCEDERAKAN 2 di California . . .

USS Chancellorsville (AFP Photo/US NAVY - think IN pictures @1WORLDCommunity)

SitiWanMahani - Sebuah Drone Amerika telah berfungsi dan merempuh cruiser peluru berpandu di luar pantai California Selatan, menyebabkan 2 kecederaan, kata pegawai. Insiden itu berlaku semasa kapal sedang menguji sistem senjata pertempuran.

Lt Lenaya Rotklein Amerika Syarikat Armada Ke-3 memberitahu AP 2 pelayar cedera dalam kemalangan itu sedang dirawat untuk luka terbakar yang ringan. Kraf jauh dikawal dilaporkan menyimpang di luar kawalan dalam satu operasi untuk menguji sistem senjata tempur USS Chancellorsville pada petang Sabtu. Rotklein berkata Drone itu sedang digu-nakan untuk menguji radar kapal.

Pengangkut peluru berpandu kini menuju kembali ke San Diego Pangkalan Tentera Laut, di mana pegawai akan menilai sejauh mana kerosakan. Sebagai tindak balas kepada kemalangan itu, Tentera Laut berkata ia membuka satu penyiasatan untuk mengkaji punca-puncanya mungkin.

Ini adalah kemalangan Drone yang ke-2 berlaku minggu ini di Amerika Syarikat selepas sebuah kapal tanpa pemandu berfungsi dan telah turun ke Tasik Ontario pada hari Selasa, yang menyebabkan penggantungan semua penerbangan Drone di kawasan Central New York.

Pihak tentera tidak dapat mengatakan mengapa $4 million Reaper Drone hilang kawalan dan terhempas, tetapi dilaporkan tidak ada kerosakan kepada harta awam atau kecederaan.

Aktivis anti-pesawat telah menyelar penggunaan kerajaan Amerika Syarikat kraf tanpa pemandu di tanah Amerika, memetik peningkatan jumlah kemalangannya.

“Salah satu perkara yang terkenal mengenai pesawat dan Reapers adalah kadar kema-langan yang tinggi,” Ed Kinane seorang aktivis keamanan Syracuse berasaskan kepada syracuse.com pada Selasa. “Satu kebimbangan umum adalah bahawa kerana tentera begitu cinta dengan Drone dan Reaper, ternyata mereka telah bergegas perkara-perkara ini ke dalam pengeluarannya.”

Bloomberg dikira dalam kajian 2012 yang secara purata terdapat 9.31 kemalangan bagi setiap 100,000 jam penerbangan Drone.

Walau bagaimanapun Pentadbiran Penerbangan Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat (FAA) telah memutuskan untuk meneruskan dengan rancangan untuk memperluaskan penggu-naan pesawat ruang udara di Amerika pada tahun 2015.

Drone crashes into Navy ship injuring 2 in California

An American drone has malfunctioned and crashed into a guided missile cruiser off the coast of Southern California, causing two injuries, say officials. The incident happened while the vessel was testing a combat weapons system.

Lt. Lenaya Rotklein of the US Third Fleet told AP the two sailors injured in the crash were being treated for minor burns. The remotely-controlled craft reportedly veered out of control during an operation to test the USS Chancellorsville’s combat weapons system on Saturday afternoon. Rotklein said the drone was being used to test the ship's radar.

The guided missile carrier is now heading back to the San Diego Naval Base, where officials will assess the extent of the damage. In response to the accident, the Navy says it is opening an investigation to examine the possible causes.

This is the second drone crash to occur this week in the US after an unmanned craft malfunctioned and came down over Lake Ontario on Tuesday, prompting the suspension of all drone flights in the Central New York area.

The military was unable to say why the $4 million Reaper drone lost control and crashed, but reported there was no damage to civilian property or injuries.

Anti-drones activists have slammed the US government’s use of the unmanned craft on American soil, citing the increasing number of accidents.

“One of the notorious things about drones and Reapers is their high accident rate,” Ed Kinane a Syracuse-based peace activist told syracuse.com on Tuesday. “A general concern is that because the military is so in love with drones and the Reaper, it appears they have rushed these things into production.”

Bloomberg calculated in a 2012 survey that on average there were 9.31 accidents for every 100,000 hours of drone flight.

Nevertheless the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has resolved to push ahead with a plan to expand the use of drones in American airspace by 2015.

ISEAEL Bekerjasama dengan ARAB SAUDI pada Pelan KONTINGENSI Nuklear IRAN - Laporan

Saudi's King Abdullah (AFP Photo/HO/SPA - think IN pictures @1WORLDCommunity)

SitiWanMahani - Mossad Israel, bersama-sama dengan pegawai-pegawai Saudi, bekerja-sama pada pelan kontingensi yang boleh termasuk serangan ke atas Iran jika program nuklearnya tidak dibendung cukup semasa rundingan di Geneva minggu ini, satu laporan baru yang telah diturunkan.

Kedua-dua kuasa yang telah menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa sekatan ke atas program nuklear Iran tidak akan cukup. Menurut akhbar The Sunday Times, Arab Saudi telah mem-berikan Israel lampu hijau untuk penggunaan ruang udara dalam kes serangan ke atas Iran.

Ia juga mendedahkan bahawa Saudi sanggup membantu serangan Israel dengan bekerja-sama dengan penggunaan pesawat, helikopter penyelamat, dan kapal terbang kapal tangki. “Sebaik sahaja perjanjian Geneva itu ditandatangani, pilihan tentera akan kembali ke atas meja. Saudi marah dan bersedia untuk memberikan Israel semua bantuan yang diperlukan, “kata seorang sumber diplomatik tidak dinamakan memberitahu akbar.

Tehran telah berunding pelepasan sekatan di Geneva dengan P5 +1 negara - yang terdiri daripada Amerika Syarikat, Britain, Perancis, Jerman, Rusia, dan China - dalam pertukaran untuk jaminan bahawa ia tidak akan membangunkan senjata nuklear. Segi tepat yang ditawarkan dari kedua-dua pihak tidak dibuat awam, tetapi tiada perjanjian telah dibuat hujung minggu lalu. Sisi akan duduk untuk pusingan baru rundingan pada 20 November.

Perdana Menteri Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu telah memberi amaran bahawa mengangkat sekatan ke atas Iran tanpa menuntut konsesi yang mencukupi sebagai balasan hanya akan menggalakkan Tehran atas jalan untuk senjata nuklear dan membawa kepada konflik masa depan.

Israel telah melobi keras terhadap bertujuan untuk memujuk, dengan Netanyahu sendiri mendakwa bahawa Iran adalah kira-kira untuk merangkul “perjanjian abad ini.”

Pada hari Sabtu, Netanyahu bercakap kepada harian Perancis Le Figaro tentang keadaan ini, yang menyatakan bahawa Israel dan “negeri-negeri yang terkemuka di DUNIA Arab” bersetuju apabila ia datang kepada Tehran dan keupayaan nuklearnya.

“Kita semua berfikir bahawa Iran tidak harus dibenarkan untuk mempunyai keupayaan untuk membuat senjata nuklear,” katanya. “Kita semua berfikir bahawa pendirian yang sukar perlu diambil oleh masyarakat antarabangsa. Kita semua percaya bahawa jika Iran itu mempunyai senjata nuklear, ini boleh membawa kepada perlumbaan senjata nuklear di Timur Tengah, menjadikan Timur Tengah yang seorang yg mudah marah nuklear.”

Komen Perdana Menteri telah dibuat sebelum Presiden Perancis Francois Hollande dija-dualkan tiba di Israel untuk mengadakan perbincangan ke atas Iran pada hari Ahad. Ban-tahan French dilaporkan menyebabkan halangan dalam rundingan Iran hujung minggu lalu.

Israel Working with Saudi Arabia On Iran’s nuclear 

Contingency plan - report

Israel’s Mossad, along with Saudi officials, is working on contingency plans that could include an attack on Iran if its nuclear program is not curbed enough during the negotiations in Geneva this week, a new report has revealed.

Both powers have expressed concern that restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program will not be enough. According to The Sunday Times newspaper, Saudi Arabia already gave Israel the green light to use its airspace in the case of an attack on Iran.

It was also revealed that the Saudis were willing to assist an Israeli attack by cooperating with the use of drones, rescue helicopters, and tanker planes. “Once the Geneva agreement is signed, the military option will be back on the table. The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,” an unnamed diplomatic source told the paper.

Tehran has been negotiating sanction relief in Geneva with the P5+1 countries - consisting of the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China - in exchange for assurances that it will not develop a nuclear weapon. Exact terms on offer from both sides have not been made public, but no agreement was made last weekend. The sides will sit down for a new round of talks on November 20.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that lifting sanctions on Iran without demanding sufficient concessions in return will only encourage Tehran on its path to nuclear armament and lead to future conflict.

Israel has been lobbying hard against appeasement, with Netanyahu himself claiming that Iran is about to clinch “the deal of the century.”

On Saturday, Netanyahu spoke to French daily Le Figaro about the situation, stating that Israel and the “leading states in the Arab world” agree when it comes to Tehran and its nuclear capabilities.

“We all think that Iran should not be allowed to have the capacities to make nuclear weapons,” he said. “We all think that a tougher stance should be taken by the international community. We all believe that if Iran were to have nuclear weapons, this could lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, making the Middle East a nuclear tinderbox.”

The prime minister’s comments were made just before French President Francois Hollande was scheduled to arrive in Israel for talks on Iran on Sunday. French objections reportedly caused an obstacle in the Iran talks last weekend.

LIBYA: Puluhan terbunuh dalam PERTEMPURAN dengan Militia . . .

SitiWanMahani - Pegawai Libya berkata, 32 orang telah terbunuh dan hampir 400 cedera dalam pertempuran di Tripoli antara militia dan penunjuk perasaan. Keganasan menonjolkan ketidakupayaan kerajaan untuk mengawal kumpulan-kumpulan bersenjata yang membantu menggulingkan Muammar Gaddafi 2 tahun lalu, tetapi masih menyimpan senjata mereka.

Penunjuk perasaan berkata bahawa ahli-ahli militia Misrata telah melepaskan tembakan ke atas mereka, kerana mereka berarak ke arah ibu pejabat mereka untuk menuntut mereka meninggalkan bandar.

Mesingan dan bom tangan roket dilaporkan melepaskan tembakan ke arah orang ramai. Para penunjuk perasaan melarikan diri apabila tembakan dilepaskan, tetapi beberapa kembali bersenjata. Pihak berkuasa Libya sedang berjuang untuk mengandungi pelbagai militia yang menguasai banyak bahagian di negara ini.

Libya: dozens killed in clashes with militia

Libyan officials said 32 people had been killed and almost 400 wounded in clashes in Tripoli between militiamen and protesters. The violence highlights the government's inability to control the armed groups that helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi two years ago, but kept their guns.

Demonstrators said that members of the Misrata militia had opened fire on them, as they marched towards their headquarters to demand they leave the city.

Machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades were reportedly fired into the crowd. The protesters fled when the shots were fired, but some returned heavily armed. The Libyan authorities are struggling to contain numerous militias who control many parts of the country.
