11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a(MEASURING) reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out,(TO THE WORLD NATIONS) and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(JERUSALEM DIVIDED BUT THE 3RD TEMPLE ALLOWED TO BE REBUILT)

Fast of 10th of Tevet Marks Siege of Jerusalem

Fast day on Sunday marks beginning of Babylonian siege of Jerusalem and is designated Day of General Mourning for Holocaust martyrs.

Temple Mount
Temple Mount-Temple Institute
The fast day of the 10th of the Hebrew month of Tevet, which begins at dawn on Sunday and ends when the stars come out, commences in Jerusalem at 5:04 a.m. and concludes at 5:03 p.m. Considered a minor fast, it does not begin at night to last 25 hours, as do Yom Kippur and the Ninth of Av, nor does it include prohibitions other than food and drink, as they do.The Tenth of Tevet is one of four fast days that mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple, and it marks the day in which the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar began the siege of Jerusalem.It took Nebuchadnezzar 30 months to breach Jerusalem's thick stone walls, but he finally succeeded on the 17th day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, in the year 586 B.C.E (some claim it was in 420 B.C.E), on which date the second fast was declared.Only one month later, on Tisha B'Av -- the Ninth of Av -- the first Holy Temple was destroyed, and the Jewish People were sent out into exile to Babylonia for the next 70 years. The prophet Jeremiah wrote Lamentations to memorialize the tragedy.
The fourth fast, the Fast of Gedaliah on the third of Tishrei, commemorates the murder of Gedalia Ben Akhikam, the Jewish leader appointed by the Babylonians to govern Judea after the destruction of the First Temple, an event which is seen as marking the end of Jewish government in the Land of Israel.The Second Temple was built when the Jews were allowed to return by Cyrus the Great and destroyed in 70 C.E. by the Romans, also on the 9th of Av. Remnants of the Holy Temples still remain -- one outside retaining wall of the Second Temple is today referred to as the Western Wall, or the Kotel, or Wailing Wall -- the place where Jews weep for its destruction.The Temple Mount, over which Israel has allowed the Waqf Islamic Authority to maintain control - resulting in the arrest of Jews who so much as move their lips silently in prayer while there, as the Wakf forbids it - is the site of both Temples and the "holy of holies," an area which only the High Priest could enter on Yom Kippur.The Islamic clerics who now have free run of the area, and deliver sermons in the Al Aqsa mosque built on the site, periodically express their intense fear of the day that a Third Holy Temple will rise from the site, and make enormous efforts to prevent at all costs the possibility that the Jews, who pray for it daily, will help bring this about.The fast days are intended to prompt soul-searching and repentance. As Maimonides wrote, 'The essential significance of the fast of the Tenth of Tevet, as well as that of the other fast days, is not primarily the grief and mourning which they evoke. Their aim is rather to awaken the hearts towards repentance; to recall to us, both the evil deeds of our fathers, and our own evil deeds, which caused anguish to befall both them and us and thereby to cause us to return towards the good. As it is said (Vayikra 26): 'And they shall confess their transgressions and the transgressions of their fathers.' (Rambam: Hilchot Ta'anit Chapter 5).On the fast day, the 'Anenu' request is added to the Shmoneh-Esreh prayer, (a special series of 18 supplications; the Hebrew word "shmoneh-esreh" means "18" - ed.) and special Selichot (prayers asking forgiveness) are recited. In the afternoon service, the Torah portion is “VaYachel Moshe” - a special portion for fast days.The Tenth of Tevet was also designated by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel as the Day of General Mourning for the people murdered in the Holocaust whose day of death is not known. On this day, their relatives say the mourners' prayer, or Kaddish.Two other distressing historical events which occurred close to the date of the fast, were designated by Talmudic Sages to be remembered on the 10th of Tevet: the death of Ezra the Scribe on the ninth of Tevet, and the translation of the Torah into the Greek language on the eighth of the same month.For a more detailed explanation of the fast and its laws, click here.

Deport Piers Morgan Petition Reaching Goal

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
December 23, 2012
The Infowars.com petition posted on the White House “We the People: Your Voice in Our Government” page on Friday now has over 15,000 signatures and less than 10,000 signatures to go before Obama administration officialdom responds, according to this page.The petition was posted in response to British citizen Piers Morgan using his bully pulpit at CNN to undermine the civil liberties of the American people. It is calling for his deportation before he helps enemies of the Constitution do irreparable harm to the Second Amendment.Morgan claims his effort to outlaw firearms and thus strip Americans of not only their right to defend themselves but also the ability to respond to government tyranny – the original intention of the amendment – is protected by the First Amendment. Morgan apparently believes it is acceptable to use the First Amendment to deny Americans their right to exercise the Second Amendment.

Morgan’s arrogance knows no bounds. On Saturday he tweeted:

Noel Sheppard, writing for News Busters, put Morgan’s response in perspective:
Using that tortured logic, since only 776,000 people watched his show Thursday, that must mean 314,214,588 Americans think he shouldn’t be on the air at all.
In response to Morgan’s claim about the First Amendment, James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal pointed to a transcript of Kleindienst v. Mandel, a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. It validated an effort by then attorney general Richard Kleindienst to refuse Marxist Belgian journalist Ernest Mandel entry into the country. The Court ruled that denying Mandel entry did not violate the First Amendment.
It remains to be seen if the petition will actually result in Morgan’s deportation. It is, however, drawing attention to his attempt to subvert and undermine the Constitution.
If you have not signed the petition, please do so now.

Gun enthusiasts pack shows to buy assault weapons

ALLENTOWN, Penn./KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Gun enthusiasts thronged to shows around the country on Saturday to buy assault weapons they fear will soon be outlawed after a massacre of school children in Connecticut prompted calls for tighter controls on firearms.Reuters reporters went to gun shows in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Texas, and found long lines to get in the door, crowds around the dealer booths, a rush to buy assault weapons even at higher prices and some dealers selling out.The busiest table at the R.K. Gun & Knife show at an exposition center near the Kansas City, Missouri airport was offering assault weapons near the entrance.West Plains, Missouri dealer Keith's Guns sold out of about 20 AR-15 style assault rifles in a little over an hour, owner Keith Gray said.An AR-15 type assault weapon was among the guns authorities believe suspect Adam Lanza stole from his mother to use in the massacre of 20 school children and six adults at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school on December 14.The killing of innocent children at the school shocked the nation and prompted a number of politicians including President Barack Obama to call for a ban on assault weapons and ammunition clips that allow the rapid firing of multiple bullets.Rather than tighten gun ownership restrictions, the powerful lobby for gun rights, the National Rifle Association, on Friday called for armed guards at every school.D.R. Woody was one of those able to purchase an assault weapon at the Kansas City show on Saturday. He bought the gun for target practice because he is concerned they soon will be banned. "I didn't expect to find one. No gun stores have them," said Woody of the AR-15 type of gun.
RUSH TO BUY
The story was the same in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where Shirley Donley, a gun shop owner from nearby Quakertown, had an endless stream of customers. "Everybody wants assault weapons," she said, adding that she had sold more than 100 of that type of gun since the Connecticut tragedy. "I'm sold out."Assault weapon is a broad term commonly used to refer to semi-automatic or automatic weapons that can fire multiple bullets rapidly. From 1994 to 2004 certain assault weapons and ammunition clips of more than 10 bullets were illegal.The ban was allowed to expire when Republican George W. Bush was in the White House.Prices for assault weapons have surged since the Connecticut shooting. At the Kansas City show, Jerome Ratliff bought an AR-15 on Saturday for target practice, paying $925. The same model would have cost only about $400 a year ago, he said. Most models were selling for $1,500 or more.Bob Hofmeister, whose wife owns Xtreme Sports, a gun dealer with a table at the Kansas city show, said the business sold 15 to 20 AR-15s in the past week."Some of these people just want to show their rights to own guns," Hofmeister said.The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, and most gun enthusiasts at the shows on Saturday said more restrictions on guns would not stop mass killings such as Connecticut.
Adam Ouart of Mansfield, Texas stood in a line with about another dozen people at the Lone Star show in Forth Worth, Texas, in hopes of buying a gun."The answer is not to limit people having guns. If someone wants to hurt somebody they are going to find a way to do it," Ouart said.Several dealers and buyers interviewed at the shows supported the NRA proposal to put armed guards in schools.More than 200 people lined up at each of three entrances on Saturday morning to pay the $8 entrance fee to the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, which has an exhibit hall spanning 25 acres. They crowded the aisles of the show and stood two-deep at booths for assault weapons and ammunition clips.At all three shows the attendees were overwhelmingly white men, with some women and very few ethnic minorities.
GUN SHOW 'LOOPHOLE'
Thousands of guns shows are held in the United States every year. Under federal law, licensed dealers must conduct a background check before selling to a buyer at a gun show.But in what critics call a "loophole," which some gun control advocates hope to close, unlicensed collectors and other private sales do not require a background check.A 2009 undercover investigation at seven gun shows by the city of New York found that 63 percent of sellers failed an "integrity" test by selling a weapon to a buyer who admitted he probably could not pass a background check.Pennsylvania dealer Donley said on Saturday that since the Connecticut shooting the telephone wait for dealers to get through to the State Police unit that provides background checks has increased from 15 minutes up to 45 minutes.While most people interviewed at the shows were not in favor of gun controls, not everyone opposed some regulation.Bruce Abernathy walked away with an assault rifle after sitting through a 30-minute background check at the Texas show."There should be more strict background checks," said Abernathy, a Dallas resident. He said there should be a 30-day waiting period to buy weapons and a thorough background check that includes five references.

New details emerge a week after school massacre

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — He was the awkward kid who wore the same clothes to school every day.
He rarely spoke and even gave a school presentation entirely by computer, never uttering a word.
He liked tinkering with computers and other gadgets, and seemed to enjoy playing a violent video game, choosing a military-style assault rifle as one of his weapons.New details about Adam Lanza emerged as Newtown wrapped up a wrenching week of farewells, with funerals scheduled Saturday for three of the slain children. Lanza slaughtered 20 children and six adults during the Dec. 14 rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School.Lanza also fatally shot his mother before blasting his way into Sandy Hook, and killed himself after the school massacre.In high school, Lanza would walk through the hallways, awkwardly pressing himself against the wall while wearing the same green shirt and khaki pants every day. He hardly ever talked to his classmates."As long as I knew him, he never really spoke," said Daniel Frost, who took a computer class with Lanza and remembered his skill with electronics. Lanza could take apart and reassemble a computer in a matter of minutes.Lanza seemed to spend most of his time in the basement of the home he shared with his mother, who kept a collection of guns there, said Russell Ford, a friend of Nancy Lanza's who had done chimney and pipe work on the house.Nancy Lanza was often seen around town and regularly met friends at a local restaurant. But her 20-year-old son was seldom spotted around town, Ford and other townspeople said.The basement of the Lanza home had a computer, flat-screen TV, couches and an elaborate setup for video games. Nancy Lanza kept her guns in what appeared to be a secure case in another part of the basement, said Ford, who often met her and other friends at a regular Tuesday gathering at My Place, a local restaurant.During the past year and a half, Ford said, Nancy Lanza had told him that she planned to move out West and enroll Adam in a "school or a center." The plan started unfolding after Adam turned 18."She knew she needed to be near him," Ford said. "She was trying to do what was positive for him."Ford said Nancy Lanza didn't elaborate on what type of services she wanted her son to receive. He said she made fewer appearances at the restaurant in recent months.Mark Tambascio, owner of My Place, said Nancy Lanza described the same plan to him, saying she might move to Washington State.Back in high school, Frost recalled, someone brought in a video game called "Counter-Strike," a shooting video game in which players compete against each other as either terrorists or counter-terrorists.Lanza "seemed pretty interested in the game," Frost said, and would play it with other students. He remembers the weapons Lanza chose: an M4 military-style assault rifle and a Glock handgun.Authorities said Lanza used a military-style assault rifle and carried handguns during the rampage at the school. They still have no clear reason why Lanza would lash out at defenseless first-graders and their caretakers.State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said a final report on the investigation could be months away.A moment of silence was held Friday in remembrance of those killed at the school. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy gathered with other officials in rain and wind on the steps of the Edmond Town Hall as the bell rang. Similar commemorations took place across the country.Also on Friday, the National Rifle Association called for armed police officers to be stationed at schools. Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the nation's largest gun-rights lobbing group, said at a Washington news conference that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."LaPierre blamed video games, music and videos for exposing children to violence.The founder of a video game website said he expects tens of thousands of players of online shooter games to participate in a 24-hour cease-fire that started at noon Friday. Antwand Pearman, founder of GamerFitNation, said the cease-fire is meant to show respect for those killed in the Newtown shooting. He said video games don't cause violence.Services are scheduled Saturday in Connecticut for 7-year-old Josephine Gay and 6-year-old Ana Marquez-Greene. A service was also planned in Utah for 6-year-old Emilie Parker.A spokeswoman for the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association says the last victim funerals it knows of are taking place Saturday, although some of the burials are private.___Associated Press writers Matt Apuzzo in Washington and Pat Eaton-Robb in Newtown contributed to this report.

Cabinet to Deal with Security

On the agenda for Israel's government Sunday were issues of security on the home front, and looking ahead to the future in Syria."We are simultaneously dealing with three fronts,” explained Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in his opening remarks to the Cabinet.The south, he said, is quiet, “but we have loose ends to deal with on the home front with additional grants that we will give to people and communities.”Netanyahu commented that he would later summarize lessons learned on the home front from last month's Operation Pillar of Defense, but meanwhile discuss ongoing activities in the south.He then turned to the issues of security across the rest of the country, and what appears to be the growing threat of a “third intifada.”
"We have also recently been witness to disturbances and attacks on our forces,” the prime minister said. “Later today we will visit IDF Central Command in order to closely monitor developments as well as the necessary steps to deal with each possible scenario.”In addition, said Netanyahu, Israel's defense establishment is continuing to monitor events in Syria, “where there are dramatic developments almost daily.”
Israel, he said, is cooperating with the United States and the rest of the international community on making preparations for the possibility that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may fall. The prospect includes the possibility that Syria's chemical weapons arsenal could be transferred to terrorist control, be used against rebel forces, or in a completely different scenario, be fired in an attack on Syria's neighbors, including Israel.
"We... are taking the necessary measures to prepare ourselves for the possibility of far-reaching changes in the regime, with implications for the sensitive weapons systems there,” Netanyahu said.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 

New Egyptian Constitution 'Approved'

Exit polls show that Egyptians have approved a new constitution in this weekend's nationwide referendum.

Counting the ballots in Egypt
Counting the ballots in Egypt-Reuters
Exit polls show that Egyptians have approved a new constitution in this weekend's nationwide referendum. According to initial reports from Egyptian state media, approximately 63 percent of voters supported the new document.As the second and final phase of voting was taking place on Saturday, however, Vice President Mahmoud Mekki announced his resignation. Mekki will be the eighth of President Mohamed Morsi's top advisers to have left the Cairo political inner circle within the past month.Although official results on the constitution referendum are not expected until Monday, if the Constitution passes, parliamentary elections must be held within the next 90 days.
Voter turnout was estimated at only 30 percent, as polling on the document was boycotted by a variety of sectors.Women without veils complained they were not allowed to vote for the new Egyptian anti-secular constitution. Mass protests in the first stage of the voting last Tuesday. Egypt's opposition alleged there were massive polling violations after Islamists backing Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi claimed victory in the first round of a referendum on a new charter. Thousands of women complained they were not allowed to vote because they were not veiled, and Christian women also said they were turned away. Some 25 million Egyptians were eligible to cast their ballots on the Constitution, which was authored by a National Assembly committee comprised primarily of Islamists - hence, the boycott.Opposition activists have contended that the document fails to protect human rights and freedoms that were the core values they fought for in the January 25 Revolution that toppled the regime of former President Hosni Mubarak. The new  Constitution, they said, does not protect the rights of women, nor does it ensure the rights of Coptic Christians, who comprise some 10 percent of Egypt's population.

Ahmadinejad: Iran in a 'Smart War' with the West

Iran is engaged in a "smart economic war" with Western powers, claims President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad
Ahmadinejad-AFP photo
Iran is engaged in a "smart economic war" with Western powers whose sanctions against its nuclear program are hurting some Iranians, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday."Targeted sanctions, which the enemies say are supposed to be crippling, have led to a drop in our oil" sales, AFP quoted Ahmadinejad as having said in a live interview on state television, referring to an oil embargo imposed by the European Union."They do not even let us transfer the oil money," he said. "They thought Iran's economy would break down, but it did not.""Iran is engaged in a smart economic war with the enemy," he said.The EU measure, which came into effect in July, ended European purchases of Iranian crude, and has since decreased Tehran's oil exports to its Asian customers from between 10 to 30 percent.According to the International Energy Agency, Iranian exports in November were estimated at 1.3 million barrels per day, down from nearly 2.3 million last year.Ahmadinejad said his government had "so far managed to control" the effects of sanctions on the economy but admitted that "heavy pressure had been exerted on some Iranians because of sanctions," reported AFP.He did not elaborate on how Iran was fighting off sanctions for fear the methods would be found by Western powers trying to goad Iran back to the negotiating table over its nuclear ambitions.
"I cannot say what heavy pressure the enemy has imposed, and how we are dealing with them," said Ahmadinejad."We have so far managed to control this blow, and it hasn't turned out the way they predicted," he said.Ahmadinejad has faced increasing scrutiny at home for economic woes, including the collapse of the national currency, which lost more than two-thirds of its value in a 20-day span starting in late September.
Iran's economy is struggling to cope with the gradual tightening of sanctions by the United States and the European Union over the past two years.The sanctions have also targeted Iran's access to the global banking system, slowing its economy, accelerating inflation and boosting the ranks of the jobless.Ahmadinejad was speaking to report on his government's implementation two years ago of a controversial plan to cut subsidies on food and energy and redistribute it in form of social assistance.The plan to generate tens of billions of dollars in additional revenues for his government has been criticised by his opponents, who blame it partially for Iran's runaway inflation.Ahmadinejad said his government had devised schemes to diffuse the effects of Western sanctions in the "long-term.""We have prepared long-term plans to decrease dependency on the oil-generated money. We will not allow them to use economic measures as a tool for putting pressure on us anymore," he said.He said without elaborating that Iran was to "increase its non-oil exports."His remarks came as Western powers engaging Iran to resolve a years-long dispute over its nuclear program are pressuring Tehran to return to the negotiating table.Iran has yet to respond to offers of renewed negotiations with the so-called P5+1 group, consisting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany.Iran insists its program of uranium enrichment is for purely peaceful purposes, and denies allegations that it wants to manufacture nuclear weapons.

ISAIAH 17:1,12-14
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
12  Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,(USELESS U.N) that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13  The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14  And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not.(ASSAD) This is the portion of them that spoil us,(ISRAEL) and the lot of them that rob us.

JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23  Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24  Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25  How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

Israel ‘taking steps’ to counter Syrian chemical weapons threat, Netanyahu says

Noting ‘dramatic developments’ to Israel’s north, PM hails cooperation with US; Defense Ministry official says Syrian WMDs under control ‘for the time being’

December 23, 2012, 3:03 pm 0

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said Israel was carefully watching developments in Syria, and especially the regime’s sizable stockpile of chemical weapons, which Israeli officials are afraid could be turned against the Jewish state.“We’re taking steps in order to prepare for the far-reaching changes that are commencing there,” Netanyahu said at the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting, alluding to recent assessments that President Bashar Assad’s days in power were numbered.“There are dramatic developments in Syria on an almost daily basis,” he said. “We’re working in cooperation with the United States, and, together with the international community, we’re taking the necessary steps to prepare ourselves for the possibility of changes with a bearing on the sensitive weapons systems in Assad’s hands.”Amos Gilad, a senior official in Israel’s Foreign Ministry, on Sunday said that, “for the time being,” Syria’s chemical weapons were “under control,” despite the fact that Assad’s been losing ground to the rebels.Last week, NBC reported that Washington was “huddling” with its allies, including Israel, over how to grapple with the danger, according to CNN. US intelligence, Israeli intelligence and other agencies were “working this problem round the clock,” it said, adding that concern in the region “is growing by the hour.”The Times of London reported that the US, along with several key allies, is prepared to launch a military intervention in Syria should the Assad government resort to using its chemical weapons against the rebels.A military source told the Times that US forces could be ready “rapidly, within days,” and implied that the necessary forces were already in the region.Israel is particularly concerned that Syrian chemical and biological weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists and be used against Israel.“Together with the international community, we are closely monitoring developments in Syria regarding its stores of chemical weapons…. Such weapons must not be used and must not reach terrorist elements,” Netanyahu said last Tuesday at a forum in Jerusalem.

Russia welcomes any offer to give Assad refuge

BEIRUT (AP) — Russia would welcome any country's offer of safe haven for Syrian President Bashar Assad, but has no plans to make one of its own, Moscow's foreign minister said in the latest comments to suggest a growing distance between the two allies.Sergey Lavrov's remarks on Friday night were among the clearest signs yet that Russia could be preparing for a Syria without Assad, as rebel pressure on the embattled leader intensifies. Over the past four weeks, fighting has reached Damascus, his seat of power, and rebels have captured a string of military bases.Up to now, Russia has vetoed three Western-backed resolutions aimed at pressuring Syria's government to stop the violence that has killed more than 40,000 people over the past 21 months. While Russian leaders have given no concrete signs that stance has changed, their tone has shifted as rebels advance on the outskirts of the capital.On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin distanced himself further than ever from the Syrian president, saying Russia does not seek to protect him and suggesting his regime is growing weaker.Speaking to reporters late Friday, Lavrov reiterated Moscow's position that "it doesn't invite President Assad here," although he said other countries had asked Russia to convey their offer of safe passage to Assad.While he would not name the countries, Lavrov said Russia had responded by telling them to go directly to the Syrian leader."If there is anyone willing to provide him guarantees, they are welcome!" Lavrov said on board a plane returning from Brussels, where he attended a Russia-EU summit."We would be the first to cross ourselves and say: "Thank God, the carnage is over! If it indeed ends the carnage, which is far from certain."Syria's conflict started in March last year as an uprising against Assad, whose family has ruled the country for four decades. But the bloody crackdown that followed led rebels to take up arms, and the ensuing fighting transformed into a civil war.
The regime has come under added condemnation in recent weeks as Western officials raise concerns Assad might use chemical weapons against rebels in an act of desperation.Syria refuses to confirm or deny if it has such weapons but is believed to have nerve agents as well as mustard gas. It also possesses Scud missiles capable of delivering them.Lavrov said the Syrian government has pulled its chemical weapons together to one or two locations from several arsenals across the country to keep them safe amid the rebel onslaught.
"According to the information we have, as well as the data of the U.S. and European special services, the government is doing everything to secure it," he said. "The Syrian government has concentrated the stockpiles in one or two centers, unlike the past when they were scattered across the country."Lavrov added that U.N.-Arab League peace envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, would visit Moscow for talks before the year's end.The conflict's sectarian dimension looked set to deepen at the weekend, as rebels threated to storm two predominantly Christian towns in a central region if residents do not "evict" government troops they say are using the towns as a base to attack nearby areas.A video released by rebels showed Rashid Abul-Fidaa, who identified himself as the commander of the Ansar Brigade for Hama province, calling on locals in Mahrada and Sqailbiyeh to rise up against Assad's forces or prepare for an assault."You should perform your duty by evicting Assad's gangs," said Abdul-Fidaa, who wore an Islamic headband and was surrounded by gunmen. "Otherwise our warriors will storm the hideouts of the Assad gangs."He also accused regime forces of taking positions in the two towns in order to "incite sectarian strife" between Christians and the predominantly Sunni opposition. Assad belongs to the Alawite minority sect, an off-shoot of Shiite Islam.The threat comes just two days after a U.N. team investigating human rights abuses in Syria accused anti-Assad militants of hiding among the civilian population, triggering strikes by government artillery and the air force.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the activist group which reported the rebel ultimatum on Saturday, said such an attack by rebels could force thousands of Christians from their homes.Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Syria's population, say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence sweeping the country of 22 million people. They are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Islamic groups.Clashes between troops and rebels in the central city of Homs, Syria's third largest, have already displaced tens of thousands of Christians, most of whom either fled to the relatively safe coastal areas or to neighboring Lebanon.Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said some Christians and Alawites have also left Hama province in the past several days to escape violence. He said some of them found shelter in the coastal city of Tartus.In Damascus, the new head of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch said that Christians in Syria had deep roots in the country and were not part of the conflict. Speaking to reporters in Damascus, Patriarch John X. Yazigi urged rival factions to negotiate a settlement.Violence continued unabated on Saturday, particularly in the capital.
The Observatory said a car bomb went off in the Damascus neighborhood of Qaboun, killing at least five people and wounding others. A Syrian official confirmed the blast but had no immediate comment regarding casualties.Elsewhere, the Syrian army said in a statement carried on state-run TV that it had repelled a rebel attack on a military base that killed a regimental commander in the Damascus suburb of Chebaa.
Also in Damascus, the state-run news agency SANA said gunmen assassinated a cameraman for the government's TV station, the latest such killing in recent months.In another development, 11 rebel groups said they have formed a new coalition, the Syrian Islamic Front.A statement issued by the new group, dated Dec. 21 and posted on a militant website Saturday, described it as "a comprehensive Islamic front that adopts Islam as a religion, doctrine, approach and conduct."Several rebel groups have declared their own coalitions in Syria, including one calling itself an "Islamic state" in the embattled northern city of Aleppo.
The statement said the new group will work to avoid differences or disputes with the other Islamic groups.

North Korea could have U.S. within missile range, says South

SEOUL (Reuters) - This month's rocket launch by reclusive North Korea shows it has likely developed the technology, long suspected in the West, to fire a warhead more than 10,000 km (6,200 miles), South Korean officials said on Sunday, putting the U.S. West Coast in range.North Korea said the December 12 launch put a weather satellite in orbit but critics say it was aimed at nurturing the kind of technology needed to mount a nuclear warhead on a long-range missile.North Korea is banned from testing missile or nuclear technology under U.N. sanctions imposed after its 2006 and 2009 nuclear weapons tests and the U.N. Security Council condemned the launch.South Korea retrieved and analyzed parts of the first-stage rocket that dropped in the waters off its west coast"As a result of analyzing the material of Unha-3 (North Korea's rocket), we judged North Korea had secured a range of more than 10,000 km in case the warhead is 500-600 kg," a South Korean Defense Ministry official told a news briefing.North Korea's previous missile tests ended in failure.North Korea, which denounces the United States as the mother of all warmongers on an almost daily basis, has spent decades and scarce resources to try to develop technology capable of striking targets as far away as the United States and it is also working to build a nuclear arsenal.
But experts believe the North is still years away from mastering the technology needed to miniaturize a nuclear bomb to mount on a missile.South Korean defense officials also said there was no confirmation whether the North had the re-entry technology needed for a payload to survive the heat and vibration without disintegrating.Despite international condemnation, the launch this month was seen as a major boost domestically to the credibility of the North's young leader, Kim Jong-un, who took over power from his father who died last year.Apparently encouraged by the euphoria, the fledgling supreme leader called for the development and launching of "a variety of more working satellites" and "carrier rockets of bigger capacity" at a banquet in Pyongyang on Friday which he hosted for those who contributed to the lift-off, according to North Korean state media.(Editing by Jack Kim and Nick Macfie)
