U.S. condemns ‘outrageous’ Tunisia assassination

Posted on by

“The United States on Thursday condemned the assassination of a leading critic of Tunisia’s ruling Islamists, saying violence had no place in the country’s transition to democracy. Tunisian MP Mohamed Brahmi was shot dead outside his home Thursday in the second such slaying this year, with fingers again pointed at the authorities. ‘We offer our sincere condolences to Mr. Brahmi’s family, friends and colleagues and to the people of Tunisia,’ State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said, adding US officials ‘strongly condemn’ the killing.”

Al-Qaeda claims Iraq prison raids, says 500 inmates freed

Posted on by

“Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for simultaneous raids on two Iraqi prisons and said more than 500 inmates had been set free, in a statement posted on militant forums on Tuesday. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which was formed earlier this year through a merger between al Qaeda’s affiliates in Syria and Iraq, said it had carried out the attacks on Abu Ghraib and Taji jails after months of preparation. Sunni Islamist militants have in recent months been regaining momentum in their insurgency against Iraq‘s Shi’ite-led government, which came to power after the U.S. invasion to oust Saddam Hussein.”

Congress moves towards arming Syrian rebels

Posted on by

“President Barack Obama’s plan to provide vetted Syrian rebels with weapons and strategic military aid has gained traction in Congress, US lawmakers said Tuesday. The United States is currently providing humanitarian and non-lethal military aid to rebel groups battling the regime of strongman Bashar al-Assad. Obama’s administration promised an expansion of military aid to Syria’s rebel forces in June after accusing the regime of using chemical weapons, but such aid has yet to be disbursed. Lawmakers have been split on the proposal, but on Monday House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers said a ‘consensus’ had been reached.”

Dutch woman arrested for ‘recruiting Syrian jihadists’ to fight alongside rebels

Posted on by

“Dutch authorities have arrested a 19-year-old woman suspected of recruiting jihadists to fight alongside radical Muslim rebels in Syria, a prosecution spokeswoman said on Monday. There is growing concern in the Netherlands about young Dutch Muslims being enlisted to fight in Syria, with a British study in April saying at least 107 Dutch citizens were fighting President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in the war-torn country. Police arrested the woman in Zoetermeer, a small city just east of The Hague, on Wednesday after families filed complaints with the authorities that their relatives had gone to fight in Syria.”

Chemicals found in Syrian rebel facility were from Saudi Arabia

Posted on by

“Al-Alam reporter who accompanied the Syrian army on their mission in Jobar’s al-Manashir district, located in Rif Dimashq governorate, said there were packs of poisonous materials and deadly chemicals in the storage. A video filmed by our reporter showed packs of chemical materials labeled ‘Made in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’.  The Russian envoy to the United Nations (UN) said baseless allegations blaming Syrian government for applying chemical weapons are aimed at blocking efforts by the UN to probe into militants’ use of chemical weapons in Syria.”

Neutrality Toward Syria Is a Non-Aggressive Policy, But Obama Wants Assad Out

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“Obama is acting out several parts. He plays the part of a reluctant war-maker. [..] He plays the part of president of the world and all its refugees and disadvantaged. He plays the part of the moral man who is upholding the international provisions against chemical weapons. However, what matters most in understanding Obama and his Syrian policies is that two years ago, Obama called for Assad to resign and he imposed sanctions on Syria. He called for the Syrian people to determine their future. They did, in the usual political ways of this era, by an election in 2012 and by voting in a new constitution. Obama ignored these.”

US preparing for military action in Syria, top US general says

Posted on by

“Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Obama administration is deliberating whether or not it should use the brute of the US military in Syria during a Thursday morning Senate hearing. Gen. Dempsey said the administration was considering using ‘kinetic strikes’ in Syria and said ‘issue is under deliberation inside of our agencies of government.’ US officials have previously said Washington is considering implementing a no-fly zone above Syria, and last month the Pentagon left a fleet of F-16 fighter planes and its Patriot anti-missile system on the border of neighboring Jordan.”

Reality of Egypt – Not What You Think?

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The Muslim Brotherhood was the first choice of Western powers, from what we can tell, and was only discarded when its leadership declined to go along with a US$4 billion International Monetary Fund plan. The military, meanwhile, has been portrayed as being of one piece, but as we have pointed out previously, it may be a mistake to believe that the military is cohesively pro-Western and at the service of the Pentagon. It may be at the top, but who can speak for the rank-and-file? The social chaos and bloody destruction now being predicted for Egypt may not simply be the result of a scripted clash between the military and Islamic factions.”

UN: Iraq violence could lead to civil war

Posted on by

“The level of violence reached its lowest level in 2011, with 2,771 people killed, according to UN figures. But it is once again on the rise, fuelled by widespread Sunni discontent with the Shiite-led government, and fanned by the civil war in neighbouring Syria. ‘A lot of the radical groups are getting oxygen from what is going on there,’ Motta said of Syria. ‘The more people die (in Iraq), the greater the chance of counter-reaction and the greater chance it has to spiral out of control,’ he said. ‘If the casualties keep going at this rate it will be well over 5,000 at the end of the year, so we’re looking back at figures of 2008,’ he said.”

Libyans demand end to violence of rebel militias from 2011 regime change

Posted on by

“Prime Minister Ali Zeidan spoke to reporters of the necessity ‘to dissolve the brigades and other formations (of ex-rebels who battled the late Moamer Kadhafi) and integrate them individually into the army and police’. ‘In future, no one will bear arms in Libya unless he is in the army or police and is subject to military law… which prevents the taking of political actions,’ he said. Libya’s authorities, who are struggling to form a professional army and police, regularly use former rebels to secure the borders or to intervene in tribal conflicts. The government has failed to disarm and disband the former rebel groups who implement the law in parts of the country.”
