U.S. releases documents recovered in raid that killed bin Laden-Reuters-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

Members of the anti-terrorism squad are seen surrounding the compound where al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence officials on Wednesday released documents it said were recovered during the 2011 raid on the compound in Pakistan where U.S. forces killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a statement that the release of the documents followed a "rigorous" review by U.S. government agencies and "aligns with the president's call for increased transparency consistent with national security prerogatives."It said the 2014 Intelligence Authorization Act required the office to conduct a review of the documents for release.The released material included a variety of declassified documents, a list of English language books recovered from the compound and material published by other militant groups.U.S. forces killed bin Laden, leader of the militant organization responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States in which about 3,000 people died, in a raid on a compound in Abbottabad, a Pakistani city that also was home to a Pakistani military base."It is in the interest of the American public for citizens, academics, journalists and historians to have the opportunity to read and understand bin Laden's documents," U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee Chairman Devin Nunes said in a statement.Nunes said Wednesday's release of 86 new reports, bringing the total number of declassified reports to 120, is "a step in the right direction." He added: "I look forward to the conclusion of the ongoing efforts to declassify the hundreds of remaining Abbottabad reports to meet congressional requirements."(Reporting by Will Dunham; Editing by Susan Heavey)

10 Facts That Prove The Bin Laden Fable Is a Contrived Hoax-Paul Joseph Watson-Infowars.com-May 9, 2011

Merely a week after President Obama announced the death of Osama Bin Laden, there is literally a deluge of evidence that clearly indicates the whole episode has been manufactured for political gain and to return Americans to a state of post-9/11 intellectual castration so that they can be easily manipulated in the run up to the 2012 election. Here are ten facts that prove the Bin Laden fable is a contrived hoax….

1) Before last Sunday’s raid, every intelligence analyst, geopolitical commentator or head of state worth their salt was on record as stating that Osama Bin Laden was already dead, and that he probably died many years ago, from veteran CIA officer Robert Baer, to former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, to former FBI head of counterterrorism Dale Watson. In addition, back in 2002 Alex Jones was told directly by two separate high level sources that Bin Laden was already dead and that his death would be announced at the most politically opportune moment. Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under five different Presidents, serving as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under the Nixon, Ford and Carter, told the Alex Jones Show last week that Bin Laden died of marfan syndrome shortly after he was visited by CIA physicians at the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001.

2) The official narrative of how the raid unfolded completely collapsed within days of its announcement. First there had been a 40 minute shootout, then there was no shootout and just one man was armed, first Bin Laden was armed then he was not, first Bin Laden used his wife as a human shield and then he did not. First the compound was described as a “$1 million dollar mansion” then it turned out to be a rubbish-strewn dilapidated compound that was worth less than a quarter of that. Almost every single aspect of the official narrative has changed since Obama first described the raid last Sunday as the White House struggles to keep its story straight.

3) The alleged body of Bin Laden was hastily dumped in the sea to prevent any proper procedure of identification. The White House claimed this was in accordance with normal Islamic burial rituals, however numerous Muslim scholars all over the globe disputed this claim, pointing out that Muslims can only be buried at sea if they die at sea. While the White House claimed that Bin Laden’s death on May 1st was proven by DNA and facial recognition evidence, such proof was never released for public scrutiny and the Obama administration refused to release photos of Bin Laden’s dead body, suggesting a cover-up.

4) Despite the fact that the White House released “situation room” photos which purported to show Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the rest of Obama’s security staff watching the raid which killed Bin Laden live, it was later admitted by CIA director Leon Panetta that Obama could not have seen the raid because the live feed was cut off before the Navy SEALS entered the compound. The photos were described by many as having “historical significance,” forming a “captivating” record of Obama’s greatest success and being the “defining moment” of his Presidency. One image showed Hillary Clinton with her hand over her mouth as if witnessing an anxious or crucial moment in the raid. Media reports at the time claimed that the photos represented the moment when “The leader of the free world saw the terror chief shot in the left eye.” However, the photos were staged as a PR stunt for public consumption, nobody in the photos ever saw Bin Laden killed live, nor did they see the Navy SEALS even enter the compound.

5) As even mainstream journalists began to cast suspicion on the official narrative behind the raid, the media reported that Al-Qaeda itself had confirmed every detail of Obama’s address the the nation. However, the conduit for such a claim was in fact an organization called SITE, which is a notorious Pentagon propaganda front run by the daughter of an Israeli spy that has been caught on numerous occasions releasing fake cartoonish “Al-Qaeda” videos at the most politically expedient times for both the Bush and Obama administrations. The SITE organization is nothing more than a contractor for the U.S. government, receiving some $500,000 a year annually from Uncle Sam, and yet the corporate media instantly swallowed and regurgitated the claim that “Al-Qaeda” had confirmed the official story after SITE directed them to an anonymous posting on an Islamic website.

6) Almost every single neighbor that lived near the alleged Bin Laden compound in Abbottabad that was interviewed by news reporters said with absolute certainty that they had never seen Bin Laden and that they knew of no evidence whatsoever to suggest he lived there. Since the town is a staging ground for the Pakistani military, which has a training facility situated virtually a stone’s throw away from the alleged Bin Laden compound, residents were required to show ID when they moved into the area. Pakistani troops and anti-terror police in the town refused to confirm that Bin Laden had lived in the house. Barack Obama himself admitted to 60 Minutes that the White House was only 55/45 sure that Osama lived there before the raid and this uncertainty prompted concerns that the US Navy SEALS sent in could have targeted a “prince from Dubai” or some other individual that was not Bin Laden.

7) The videos released by the White House this past weekend which purport to show Osama Bin Laden making Al-Qaeda tapes in October-November 2010 are almost identical to footage first released by Pentagon front group SITE nearly four years ago. Remember, a May 2010 Washington Post story reported how the CIA had admitted to making fake Bin Laden videos. Despite the White House’s insistence that the footage of Bin Laden is recent, he looks younger and healthier than tapes released almost a decade ago, having apparently dyed his beard black. A separate video that purports to show Bin Laden in his compound flicking through satellite TV channels depicts a much older looking man with a gray beard. Analysts have pointed out that the man has different shaped ears to real Osama pictures from back in 2001. A doctor has also pointed out the fact that the man in the tapes released Saturday has no problem moving his left arm, whereas video from 2001 clearly illustrates how Bin Laden was unable to move his left upper extremity because of a permanent injury probably related to damage to the peripheral nerves. Why the cameraman would film the back of Bin Laden’s head as he watches television is also dubious. Residents in the town of Abbottabad claim the man in the “television” video is not Osama, with one individual claiming that the man labeled by the White House as being Bin Laden is actually his neighbor, a man named Akhbar Han.

8: Despite the fact that numerous neo-cons came out on the days after the alleged raid to erroneously assert that torturing terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay led to the discovery of Bin Laden, Osama himself, the supposed world’s most wanted terrorist and a treasure trove of terror information, despite the fact that he was unarmed, was not taken in for questioning, he was instantly shot in the head according to the official narrative.

9) The US government has been caught on several occasions within the past decade staging military operations for the purposes of generating contrived, pro-war sentiment amongst the American public. Both the “rescue” of Jessica Lynch and the death of Pat Tillman were complete fables, scripted and staged at complete odds with the truth and unleashed on Americans as part of a psychological warfare offensive to elicit support for the war on terror, almost identical to what we’re seeing now with the Bin Laden sideshow. Given the fact that the US government has been caught red-handed scripting tales of pure fiction in order to justify the war on terror, notably in the cases of Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman, why on earth should we believe them now?

10) Despite the fact that Obama announced last Sunday on live television that the world was now “safer” because Bin Laden was dead, his administration, with the aid of the fearmongering mass media, instantly seized upon the situation to terrify Americans into being afraid of imminent “reprisal” terror attacks inside the United States, later claiming that Bin Laden had formulated an “aspirational rather than operational” plan to derail US trains that travel over 500mph, although no trains in the US can actually travel at such speeds. This led “terror experts” to salivate over how TSA agents were now needed in shopping malls to stick their hands down Americans’ pants, while New York Senator Chuckie Schumer called for the no fly list to be expanded to trains and subways. Obama hurried to ground zero for a photo op as he desperately tried to use the Bin Laden hoax to whip up phony patriotism as a means of boosting his flagging poll numbers. Others, like Democrat Bill Richardson, exploited the situation to try and push through policies that had no connection to Bin Laden or terrorism at all, like cap and trade. The haste with which the whole Bin Laden fable was exploited for political points scoring and as a psychological ploy to return Americans to a post-9/11 state of intellectual castration was painfully transparent, clearly suggesting that the entire farce was planned well in advance to achieve precisely those goals in the run up to 2012.

Media “Builds Picture” of Unverified Abu Sayyaf Raid-Short of facts The Daily Beast allows the Pentagon to provide tantalizing details in terror adventure story-by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | May 18, 2015
Short of actual evidence and going on a narrative produced by the Pentagon, Kimberly Dozier and The Daily Beast have “built a picture” of the alleged illegal raid inside Syria that supposedly killed Abu Sayyaf, also known as Mohammed Shalabi.As I noted on Saturday the incident as described by defense officials resembles a military adventure story. It closely follows a story that casts doubt on Obama’s Osama bin Laden assassination narrative. The corporate media is attempting to pave over Seymour Hersh’s story with the comic book Abu Sayyaf story.Kimberly Dozier adds details to the Hollywoodesque story by writing that “U.S. Special Operations Forces met resistance and had to fight ‘hand to hand’ in Friday night’s raid in al-Amr in southeastern Syria that killed ISIS senior commander Abu Sayyaf, defense officials told The Daily Beast.”Like a scene out of a combat graphic novel, “[t]roops from the U.S. Army’s elite Delta Force flew into the scene in Ospreys and Black Hawk helicopters, landing near a multi-story building and meeting fierce resistance as they entered,” Dozier writes, citing anonymous officials.“There was some resistance from armed guards and from Abu Sayyaf himself, but the raiders were prepared for that, a third official told The Daily Beast.”Like the Osama bin Laden assassination narrative painting the legendary terrorist as a coward, the ISIS fighters “hid behind women in an attempt to use them as human shields, and the second defense official said the U.S. troops had to ‘literally shoot around’ the human shields to kill the fighters,” according to the story offered by the Defense Department without question or criticism by Dozier and The Daily Beast.Sayyaf was not assassinated, according to the narrative, but “attempted to resist in some way, leading U.S. forces to kill him.”His wife, an Iraqi national, and an 18-year-old Yazidi slave were taken out of the compound, as well as computers, cell phones and other forms of potential intelligence sources, which U.S. officials already believe will be valuable. They are assessing that information now, two of the officials said.The Pentagon has yet to provide evidence the raid in fact took place and has not shown a photo of Umm Sayaff or the supposed Yazidi slave.Instead, the propaganda media has turned to a press statement issued by the White House stating “Umm Sayyaf was captured and is currently in U.S. military detention in Iraq” and she “is a member of ISIL, played an important role in ISIL’s terrorist activities, and may have been complicit in the enslavement of the young woman rescued” during the supposed raid.Once again the establishment media has provided a venue for fictionalized war propaganda. Like the debunked Jessica Lynch story and the contrived Pat Tillman coverup, the fantastic Sayaff raid is designed to not only stem the damage of the Bin Laden assassination revelation, but counter the brutality of a US-trained ISIS with a feel-good gung-ho American storyline.Virtually all wars and military conflicts waged by the United States from the Mexican War onward are predicated on lies designed to stir up war hysteria and provide consensus for mass murder. The Sayaff story is no exception.

Explosive New Documents Reveal Obama, Clinton Spin And Lies On Benghazi-Administration knew about gun running, knew attack was planned, not spontaneous, knew rise of ISIS was a threat-by Steve Watson | InfoWars | May 18, 2015

Judicial Watch has obtained and released documents today that conclusively prove that the Obama administration lied and engaged in spin over the Benghazi attack on the US consulate on September 11, 2012.Fox News reported on the documents, obtained via FOIA request, noting that they reveal three key facts.
1. The US had full knowledge of gun running from Benghazi to Syria before the attack.
2. The Obama government knew shortly after the fact that the attack was planned at least 10 days in advance, deliberately to coincide with 9/11, and was in retaliation for a drone strike that killed an al Qaeda strategist.
3. The rise of ISIS and the establishment of a caliphate was predicted by US intelligence in 2012.

The three facts are key, because they reveal that the Obama administration lied and deliberately attempted to spin the facts concerning the Benghazi attack, during which four Americans were murdered.“The Obama administration says it was a coincidence that [the Benghazi attack] occurred on 9/11. In fact, their intelligence said it wasn’t a coincidence, and in fact, specifically the attack occurred because it was 9/11,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.A Defense Intelligence Agency memo dated Sept. 16, 2012, and shared with the National Security Council, the State Department and the CIA, stated that “The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for the [U.S.] killing of Aboyahiye (Alaliby) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings.”Despite this knowledge, the President and countless administration officials lied and said that the attack was a spontaneous response to a viral YouTube video about the Prophet Muhammad.Another DIA memo from around the same time predicted the rise of radical militants who would eventually form ISIS. This information was disseminated in intelligence circles almost a year and a half before Obama played down the extremist threat, referring to ISIS as the “jay-vee” squad.A third DIA memo, dated Oct. 5, 2012, conclusively proves US intelligence agencies were fully aware weapons were being transferred from Libya to Syria before the attack, a fact that Hillary Clinton denied having any knowledge of under oath.Clinton was questioned by Senator Rand Paul about the gun running program in January 2013, more than three months after the DIA memo was issued.Clinton told Paul “I do not know. I don’t have any information on that.” when Paul, rightly as it turns out, accused the Obama administration of running guns to Syrian rebels. Yesterday, Paul again repeated sentiments that Clinton’s role in Benghazi attack should “forever preclude her” from running for the presidency.As highlighted in the Fox News piece, former CIA Director Mike Morell recently dodged questions about the gun running, saying he “Can’t talk about it,” but suggesting that CIA agents were tracking the movement of weapons, and that the US government was supporting the program.

Netanyahu: Those Who Want Divided Jerusalem 'Don't Live Here'-Netanyahu vows to keep Jerusalem united in special Cabinet meeting.By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/19/2015, 2:03 PM-ISRAEL NATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held a special Cabinet meeting at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem on Tuesday, in honor of Jerusalem Day."I remember how I came here as a youth," he began. "Since then there has been dramatic development, of course, and this magnificent cultural institution has been established the fiftieth anniversary of which we are celebrating.""This institution reflects three things: First, it shows our link to the land in the most dramatic exhibit, one of humanity's most important archaeological finds – the Dead Sea Scrolls," he continued. "While there are also many other finds that teach about our connection to our land, this exhibit, given its cultural and historical significance, is without peer.""The second thing that we see here is the great cultural treasure of the Jewish People in the country and around the world," he said. "Of course, this symbolizes our contribution to humanity.""The third thing that we see here is the culture of humanity as a whole as seen in amazing artistic and archaeological exhibits that also, perhaps, find expression in the fact that there is an exhibit here about the brief history of humankind," he added. "It is based on a provocative and interesting book that was written – I believe – by a professor here in Israel.""These three things, I note them in order to how the great difference between the cultural flowering, the cultural freedom and the cultural creativity in the State of Israel and what is happening around us – the destruction of cultural treasures, the destruction of the idea of freedom, and the physical destruction of people in an effort to destroy ideas, by Islamic fanatics," he continued, referring to Islamic State (ISIS)'s systemic destruction of Syrian cities and landmarks. "We promote culture at home and defend ourselves and – in my opinion – humanity as a whole from outside threats."Netanyahu then turned to Jerusalem's mayor, Nir Barkat, who was also present."This is connected to continuing to deal with Jerusalem, Mr. Mayor," he said. "Together we are working on great momentum in many areas and in many cultural institutions, and in the highway to Jerusalem.""Everyone sees this," he continued. "You see this as you travel here, and not just to Jerusalem, to around it, in its accessibility and in the railway that we are laying through the hills.""This is the development that we are advancing in the heart of Jerusalem, in its neighborhoods, including those on its outskirts, and there is still much to do," he concluded. "I am certain that we will hear from you. I would like to congratulate you on this important effort and also tell you that we will persist on this, with all government ministers."The Prime Minister then addressed the key issues of Jerusalem itself, speaking hours after he sparred with Opposition Leader Yitzhak Herzog (Labor) over keeping Jerusalem united."We will make several important decisions today about the development of Jerusalem just as we always do on its festive day, on the day of its liberation," he said. "We do not wish to go backwards and those speak with nostalgia about those days apparently do not live here.""We will not go back to a divided city, a torn city, a city with barbed wire fences and snipers on the walls. This will not happen and we will see to it that it does not happen," he continued. "This is not to say that there are no problems or tasks – there are many, there is also distress. We want to provide solutions and we will continue to develop it at the same pace that we see around us."Netanyahu also briefly addressed the issue of Ethiopian Israelis, who once again demonstrated in Tel Aviv Monday night."Today the Cabinet will appoint several ministerial committees," he said. "We have much work to do.""I have asked to form a ministerial committee under my leadership to deal with the plight of Israeli citizens of Ethiopian descent," he added. "They deserve equal treatment, they have rights and we will see to it that they enjoy these rights like all Israeli citizens."

Netanyahu: I Support a Two-State Solution-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu emphatic over two-state solution in meeting with EU's Frederica Mogherini.By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/20/2015, 9:21 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini on Wednesday, for discussions over peace talks and the situation in the Middle East."This is the first meeting we’ve had since I formed the new government," Netanyahu began. "And I take this opportunity to reiterate Israel's commitment to peace, and my commitment to peace."
"Over the last few weeks, we’ve taken some concrete tangible steps to benefit the Palestinian population," he continued. "We’ve taken economic steps, added measures for reconstruction and development and ensuring ongoing humanitarian support. We’ll continue with those practical steps, but at the same time we will continue to work towards peace.""Israel wants peace," he emphasized. "I want peace. We want a peace that would end the conflict once and for all. My position has not changed."Netanyahu then stated that he supports a two-state solution, i.e. the creation of a Palestinian state."I don’t support a one state solution – I don't believe that’s a solution at all," he said. "I support the vision of two states for two peoples – a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state, and I look forward to discussing with you how we can advance that vision forth in a practical, secure and responsible way. I know that you share our goal and we see you as a friend who can help advance it."

He then shifted focus to Iran. 

"But if I look around at our region and the world, the most dangerous enemy of peace is Iran," Netanyahu stated. "Iran is arming and training Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, and Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Iran is opening a third terror front against Israel in the Golan and it is pursuing its nuclear program, which I believe poses the greatest threat to the region and to the world.""I’m afraid the Lausanne program will not block Iran's path to the bomb," he continued. "Iran's emerging deal with the world powers facilitates and legitimizes Iran's continued development of the capabilities of forming nuclear weapons.""And by prematurely easing sanctions, the deal will give Iran many billions of dollars with which to fund its aggression and its worldwide terror campaign.""Because of Lausanne, the sanctions are already eroding," he added. "In recent weeks, Airbus aircraft have been sold to Iran in direct violation of the sanctions.""If pressure is being lifted today, what leverage will remain to ensure that Iran complies tomorrow when there is no pressure when the sanctions are removed?," he said. "And the answer, the honest answer is: nothing. Nothing will be left to ensure that Iran complies with the deal or that Iran ceases its aggression and its terror.""If we want to know what will happen with Iran as a result of this deal, just look at what happened with North Korea as a result of that deal," he noted. "Despite the inspections and the despite the commitments, North Korea became a nuclear power.""Just this week, North Korea announced that it has succeeded in miniaturizing a nuclear weapon," he elaborated. "I think the international community is about to make the same mistake with Iran as it did with North Korea. And I’m afraid Lausanne does exactly that.""The peace and security of the region and the world demand that we insist on a better deal," he concluded. "And it’s not too late to do so."Netanyahu concluded with a message of hope. "These are formidable challenges," he said. "They’ve never deterred us.""We know that Europe has undergone great challenges, great transformations in the previous century, and has shown great results from this and great abilities to overcome travail and create a better future for all its people – a future and a presence of peace and security and prosperity," he continued. "And that’s what I hope that we can discuss and work together to achieve. Peace, security and prosperity for all our people, for all our neighbors.""The efforts of the international community concerning Iran are intended to achieve greater security and ensure that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons," Mogherini responded.

PA, Hamas Blast Netanyahu Over Comments on United Jerusalem-Palestinian Authority and Hamas condemn Israeli Prime Minister for saying Jerusalem will never be divided again.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 5/19/2015, 6:14 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s pledge during Jerusalem Day that the capital will never be divided again was not well accepted by Palestinian Arabs.“I pledge that as Prime Minister I will continue to develop the city. The city was united, and will never be divided again,” Netanyahu said at the Jerusalem Day celebration at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva on Sunday.He made similar comments on Monday during a special Knesset session in honor of Jerusalem Day, saying Jerusalem will remain united regardless of any future negotiations with the PA."Jerusalem will not be divided again, it will not return to becoming a battlefield and a city of storybooks," Netanyahu said, adding, "We are building all over the city, including in the Arab neighborhoods. We do not build in Jerusalem to confront the international community, we do it responsibly and judiciously and that is our natural right."Later Monday, both the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Hamas terrorist movement slammed Netanyahu over his remarks, according to the IANS news agency.Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, said in a press statement that Netanyahu's remarks contradict UN resolutions and violate international conventions."There will be no peace or settlement in the Middle East without having east Jerusalem as the capital of Palestinian state," Abu Rudeineh declared, according to IANS.He also slammed earlier remarks made by an Israeli minister in Netanyahu's cabinet, who stated that the Jews would soon pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem."Such remarks will lead to a big fire that will be very hard to control either by the Arabs or the Muslims all over the world," warned Abu Rudeineh.Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in an emailed press statement that Netanyahu's remarks that Jerusalem would not be divided "shows the failure of the so-called peace process"."Talking about the resumption of the so-called peace talks with the Israeli occupation while these remarks are mad is like thirsty people looking for water in the desert," Abu Zuhri said, according to IANS.Recently, Israel approved construction of 900 homes in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, a haredi neighborhood in the eastern part of the capital.The European Union later criticized the Israeli plans, saying “Israel's determination to continue its settlement policy despite the urging of the international community not only threatens the viability of the two state solution but also seriously calls into question its commitment to a negotiated agreement with the Palestinians.”The State Department in Washington also condemned the move, calling it "disappointing" and "damaging".

Palestinian car rams two Israeli police, driver shot dead-AFP-may 20,15-yahoonews

Jerusalem (AFP) - Two Israeli policewomen were injured in annexed east Jerusalem on Wednesday when they were hit by a car driven by a Palestinian who was then shot dead, police said.It was the latest in a string of lone-wolf attacks by Palestinians using cars to ram pedestrians or police, a trend which began in Jerusalem in October but has also spread to the West Bank.The incident took place in A-Tur on the Mount of Olives, with police spokeswoman Luba Samri saying the driver veered off the road and struck two border police officers, both of them female.They had earlier been identified as male officers."Another border policeman opened fire at the terrorist and neutralised him," Samri said, confirming that the driver had died.The two policewomen were moderately injured and taken to different hospitals in the city, she said.The driver was identified by relatives as 41-year-old Imran Abu Dheim from the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Jabal Mukaber."We're absolutely stunned by what's happened," a cousin of the driver told AFP, describing him as a very quiet man with five adult children."It was an accident and when he tried to reverse, they killed him," he said, citing eyewitnesses.Israel seized the eastern Arab sector of the city during the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.The Palestinians want east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.

Israeli prime minister calls off West Bank bus segregation-Associated Press By JOSEF FEDERMAN-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday canceled a plan that would have banned Palestinian laborers from riding on the same buses with Jewish settlers in the West Bank, just hours after it was announced — an embarrassing about-face that reflected the tensions enveloping Israel's new government.The inauspicious start for Netanyahu's hard-line government illustrated the difficulties that loom as it tries to advance a pro-settler agenda in the face of rising global outrage and domestic criticism.
The reversal came as the European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, was in town. The EU has taken a tough stance against settlements built on lands claimed by the Palestinians.As the bus plan was unveiled, Israeli critics across the political spectrum derided it as racist, with one opposition politician comparing it to "apartheid." Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party, called the plan "unthinkable" and said there had been "great damage" to Israel.Netanyahu's new coalition, which was sworn into office last week, is dominated by settler sympathizers, and the busing plan, launched late Tuesday on a trial basis, had sought to separate settlers and Palestinians from traveling together through the West Bank.The plan's mastermind, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, said it was connected solely to security. The settlers had complained of safety concerns and alleged harassment of female riders by Arab passengers." Every normal country is allowed, and especially in our security situation, to inspect those who enter and exit," Yaalon said, denying any racist intentions. "That is what this is about and nothing else."But after the public uproar, Netanyahu told Yaalon it was "unacceptable" and the two decided to freeze the plan, an official in the prime minister's office said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing internal communications. The official would not say when Netanyahu became aware of the plan or explain why he opposed it.Thousands of Palestinians are permitted to enter Israel for work each day from the West Bank, usually to work in construction and other menial jobs.They typically take Palestinian shuttle buses or private transportation to checkpoints before dawn, and cross into Israel after a security check. But when they return home, they don't need to go through the checkpoints and many take Israeli settler buses from Israel straight to the West Bank to save time.The proposed change would have forced them to return home through the same checkpoint they entered and barred them from traveling back on buses alongside Israelis."We work on their houses. How do they want to prevent us from using buses?" said Mohammed Shatara, a Palestinian worker from the West Bank city of Nablus, as he crossed through the Eyal checkpoint. "We are human like them and this decision is racist."Netanyahu's quick action reflected Israeli concerns about the country's image, which already is under pressure after years of stalled peace efforts and continued settlement construction.Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog called the bus plan "a stain on the face of the country and its citizens." Writing on his Facebook page, he said, "It adds unnecessary oil to the bonfire of hate against Israel in the world.""This is how apartheid looks," said Zehava Galon, leader of the dovish Meretz party.Rivlin, whose ceremonial post is meant to serve as a moral compass for the country, commended Netanyahu for scrapping the plan. "It is important we remember that our sovereignty obligates us to prove our ability to live side by side," Rivlin said.Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast war, and Palestinians claim the territory as part of a future state. Some 350,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, alongside more than 2 million Palestinians. The international community considers the settlements illegal or illegitimate.Wednesday's uproar gave a glimpse of what could lie ahead for Netanyahu and his new government.The Israeli premier angered the United States and other key allies during the election campaign in March by saying he would not allow the establishment of a Palestinian state on his watch. Although he later tried to backtrack, the U.S. has reacted with skepticism.With just a one-seat majority in the parliament, Netanyahu finds himself dependent on the pro-settler Jewish Home party as well as hard-liners inside Likud. These hard-liners support further settlement construction, and their opposition to peacemaking with the Palestinians has set the stage for likely clashes with Israel's Western allies.At a joint appearance, neither Netanyahu nor Mogherini mentioned the failed bus plan. Mogherini stressed the close ties between Israel and Europe and assured Netanyahu that Europe is committed to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.But she also restated Europe's support for the establishment of a Palestinian state before entering a private meeting with Netanyahu. Some EU countries are pushing for settlement products to be labeled if they are sold in Europe.Alon Ben David, an Israel TV commentator on defense affairs, criticized the country's leaders for being out of touch with international opinion."You really don't need binoculars today to see the political tsunami that is making its way to Israel's shores from Europe," he told Channel 10 TV.Israeli civil rights groups lauded Netanyahu's reversal but criticized the government for even considering the plan.Sarit Michaeli, spokeswoman for B'Tselem, a human rights group, said the proposal drew attention to broader policies of separation and discrimination in the West Bank.Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank are subject to two sets of laws, different rules for land development and in some cases, even travel on separate roads, she said. Israeli settlers are permitted to vote in Israeli elections, while Palestinians are not."Even though this specific issue was put on hold, actually separation, segregation and discrimination have been around for a long time," she said.___Associated Press writers Ian Deitch in Jerusalem and Eyad Moghrabi at the Eyal checkpoint contributed to this report.

UN says will engage Israel on 'realistic options' for talks-Associated Press By CARA ANNA-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations' new Middle East envoy said Tuesday that he and the U.N. secretary-general will engage Israel's new government to explore "realistic options" for a return to talks with the Palestinians aimed at a two-state solution within a reasonable time frame.Nikolay Mladenov also used his first briefing to the U.N. Security Council to remind Israel that settlement activity is illegal under international law and to call on Israel's government to stop such actions.The international community is looking for ways to revive talks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said shortly before his re-election in March that he would not allow the establishment of a Palestinian state on his watch.A French-proposed council resolution setting a framework for negotiations has been on hold as Israel's new government formed. It likely will see little progress until world powers complete nuclear talks with Iran by a deadline they have set for the end of June.Even if that text moves forward, the United States, Israel's closest ally, has traditionally used its veto power as a permanent council member to block resolutions on the issue that it considers unbalanced.Two decades of talks brokered mainly by the United States have failed to produce a two-state solution. The latest effort fell short last year after nine months of negotiations. Gaps between Israeli and Palestinian positions remain vast.Frustrated by the stalled progress, the Palestinians in April officially joined the International Criminal Court in hopes of prosecuting Israel for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 50-day Gaza conflict last year.ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda this month told The Associated Press that prosecutors also will look at other issues, potentially including Israel's settlement construction on occupied Palestinian lands.Mladenov on Tuesday called for Israel's new government to freeze settlement activity and take other "credible steps" to help talks with the Palestinians resume."The coming period will be critical to the future of the peace process," he said, adding that any agreement will require a regional solution and "greater engagement with key Arab states."

US military rescuers end operations after Nepal earthquake-Associated Press-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The 300 U.S. Marine, Army, Air Force and Navy personnel involved in rescue operations in Nepal since a major earthquake struck last month concluded their work Wednesday, officials said.Commander of the U.S. joint task force in Nepal Lt. Gen. John Wissler said the operations ended and they will begin leaving Nepal, where they brought in helicopters and other aircraft to assist in rescue and relief."Today marks the conclusion of the joint task force participation in the ongoing relief mission as our unique military capabilities are no longer needed. We begin the return to our homes ready to return to Nepal should our two nations deem our support necessary once more," Wissler said.Powerful earthquakes on April 25 and May 12 killed at least 8,622 people and damaged 756,000 houses and other buildings.The U.S. military personnel have been flying relief goods to mountain villages and bringing back injured villagers. They also have assisted in search and rescue missions in urban areas where buildings collapsed.
A U.S. Marines UH-1 "Huey" helicopter crashed last week while on a rescue mission in the mountains, killing six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers.The U.S. has provided $47 million in humanitarian assistance for earthquake relief effort.

Efforts underway to scrub spilled oil from California coast-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews
GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — Cleanup crews fanned out Wednesday along a stretch of scenic California coastline stained by thousands of gallons of crude oil that spilled from a broken pipe and flowed into the Pacific Ocean.Workers from an environmental cleanup company strapped on boots and gloves and picked up shovels and rakes to tackle the gobs of goo stuck to sand and rocks along Refugio State Beach on the southern Santa Barbara County coast.The accident Tuesday happened on the same stretch of coastline as a 1969 spill, which was the largest ever in U.S. waters at the time and is credited with giving rise to the American environmental movement.Members of the International Bird Rescue organization were also on hand Wednesday to clean any birds that become covered with oil, though none were immediately spotted in the calm seas that produced small waves.Fan Yang, 26, of Indianapolis, stood on a bluff overlooking the beach, where the stench of petroleum was heavy."It smells like what they use to pave the roads," said Yang, who was hoping to find cleaner beaches in Santa Barbara. "I'm sad for the birds — if they lose their habitat."The broken onshore pipeline spewed oil down a storm drain and into the ocean for several hours Tuesday before it was shut off, creating a slick some 4 miles long about 20 miles west of Santa Barbara.
Initial estimates put the spill at about 21,000 gallons, but that figure would likely change after a Wednesday flyover gave a better sense of the scope, U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Jennifer Williams said.Authorities responding to reports of a foul smell near Refugio State Beach around noon found a half-mile slick in the ocean, county fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni said. They traced the oil to the pipeline that spilled into a culvert running under a highway and into a storm drain that empties into the ocean.The 24-inch pipeline was shut off about three hours later. It's owned by Plains All American Pipeline, which said it stopped the flow of oil and blocked the culvert."Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact," the company said in a statement.After the spill, boats from the nonprofit collective Clean Seas helped with cleanup but were having trouble because much of the oil was close to shore, Williams said. About 850 gallons of oil have been recovered from the water, she said.The state Department of Fish and Wildlife has closed fishing and shellfish harvesting for a mile east and west of the beach.The area is home to offshore oil rigs, and small amounts of tar from natural seepage regularly show up on beaches. In 1969, several hundred thousand gallons spilled from a blowout on an oil platform and thousands of seabirds and many marine mammals were killed.The oil industry brings risks, said Bob Deans, spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council."Santa Barbara learned that lesson over 40 years ago when offshore drilling led to disaster," he said in a statement.The Santa Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center said having the spill occur in "a sensitive and treasured environment is devastating to watch." The group was concerned about whales that migrate through the area."Oil spills are part of the ugly cost of fossil fuel development, made even worse by aging domestic infrastructure," said Miyoko Sakashita, oceans director for the Center for Biological Diversity.It was unclear how long the cleanup would take and whether Refugio beach and other areas would be reopened in time for Memorial Day weekend.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.North Korea, sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile which, if true, would indicate progress in its pursuit of missile-equipped submarines.On Wednesday, North Korea warned the United States not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday."They have not gotten as far as their clever video editors and spinmeisters would have us believe," said Winnefeld, who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Analysis seen by Reuters from German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie appeared to support Winnefeld's statement.The Munich-based pair said photos of the launch were "strongly modified", including reflections of the missile exhaust flame in the water which did not line up with the missile itself.North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States, had a record of offering faked proof to claim advances in missile technology, Schiller and Schmucker said, such as poorly built mockups of missiles on display at military parades in 2012 and 2013.The pair agreed with analysis posted by experts on the websites 38north.org and armscontrolwonk.com that the missile was likely launched from a specially designed submerged barge, and not from a submarine-A photo on state television showed a missile high in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke, whereas other photos from state media showed no white smoke, suggesting the two photos were of different missiles with different propulsion systems, Schiller and Schmucker said.South Korea stood by its position that the photos appeared authentic. "We haven't changed our stance that the rocket was fired from a submarine and flew about 150 meters out of the water,” a South Korean military official said.The North's National Defence Commission, the main ruling body headed by leader Kim Jong Un, said on Wednesday the submarine-based missile launch was "yet a higher level of accomplishment in the development of strategic attack means".(This version of the story removes the quotation marks from the headline.)(Additional reporting by Ju-min Park; Editing by Nick Macfie and Jeremy Laurence)

N. Korea says can arm long-range missiles with nuclear warheads-AFP By Park Chan-Kyong-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

North Korea ramped up its nuclear threats on Wednesday, boasting of its ability to deliver miniaturised warheads on high-precision long range rockets -- a claim denied by the United States.At the same time, the North denounced "reckless" remarks made in Seoul this week by US Secretary of State John Kerry, and cancelled an invitation to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to visit a joint industrial zone on its side of the border with South Korea.Pyongyang has been flexing its advancing military muscle of late, most recently announcing it had successfully test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).On Wednesday its powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) claimed that the country's nuclear arsenal was already highly developed."It has been a long time since we began miniaturising and diversifying our means of nuclear strike," the commission said in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency."We have also reached the stage where the highest accuracy rate is guaranteed, not only for short- and medium-range missiles but long-range missiles as well," the NDC said.

Washington rejected the nuclear claim.

"Our assessment of North Korea's nuclear capabilities has not changed. We do not think that they have that capacity" to miniaturise weapons, a US National Security Council spokesman told AFP.But the spokesman agreed Pyongyang was "working on developing a number of long-range missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, that could eventually threaten our allies and the homeland".Reducing the size of a nuclear warhead to the point where it can fit on a missile would be a major leap forward in establishing a genuine deterrent, and Pyongyang has claimed progress with miniaturisation before.In January the South Korean Defence Ministry said it believed the North's ability to miniaturise a nuclear device had reached a "significant" level. The top US homeland security commander, Admiral William Gortney, said last month the North was already capable of mounting a warhead on a missile.

- Expert doubts -

But other senior officials in both countries have questioned such assessments, and independent analysts on Wednesday stressed that the North's claims were often overblown."There are differences between their statements and their actual operational reality," Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based senior researcher of the International Crisis Group, told AFP."Some of it is bluster or exaggeration and maybe for internal audiences, and some of it is probably also for external audiences in an effort to test and to see if they can use systems for blackmail or coercion," he said.Cho Han-Bum, an analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said Pyongyang was "too cash-strapped" to perfect such intricate technology as miniaturising a warhead."I find the claim hard to believe," he said.

- Expanding nuclear programme -

Experts have voiced similar doubts over the recent SLBM test, suggesting it was probably not submarine-launched at all, but likely fired from a submerged barge.And it was probably an "ejection test" in which the missile is launched underwater, breaks the surface and then falls back after a few seconds of partial fuel burn.But scepticism over the North's claims for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capability are heavily outweighed by genuine concern at the expansion of both programmes.A recent report by US researchers warned that North Korea could, in a worst-case scenario, possess 100 nuclear bombs arms by 2020.North Korea carried out nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 and has an extremely active ballistic missile development programme, even if expert opinion is split on how much progress it has made.During his visit to Seoul Kerry had denounced Kim Jong-Un's "egregious" leadership, saying he had fuelled regional tensions with repeated "provocative, destabilising and repressive actions".The North Korean Foreign Ministry responded Wednesday, calling Kerry's comments those of "a loser admitting the total failure" of US policy towards Pyongyang.Separately Wednesday, Pyongyang cancelled without explanation an invitation for Ban, who is also in Seoul, to visit the Kaesong joint industrial area which lies 10 kilometers over the inter-Korean border.Had Thursday's visit gone ahead, Ban would have become the first UN secretary-general to set foot in the isolated state for more than 20 years, since Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 1993."This decision by Pyongyang is deeply regrettable," the UN chief, a former foreign minister of South Korea, told a forum in Seoul."However, I as the secretary-general of the United Nations, will not spare any efforts to encourage (North Korea) to work with the international community for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and beyond."Speaking at an Asian leadership forum in Seoul on Tuesday, Ban had warned that continued North Korean provocation risked fuelling tensions and a possible arms race across the region.

Tornadoes hit Texas and Oklahoma, at least one person hurt-Reuters-may 20,15-yahoonews

(Reuters) - Tornadoes spun through parts of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma on Tuesday, damaging buildings and injuring at least one person, officials said.The National Weather Service said several twisters were reported in the region and at least one person was injured at a Ramada hotel in Lee County, Texas when a tornado hit just after noon local time.Local broadcaster KEYE said the man was hurt after debris smashed through a window and hit him in the face. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, KEYE reported.A storm system that brought hail and severe thunderstorms to the area was forecast to potentially spawn tornadoes, one of which heavily damaged buildings in the Texas town of Mineral Wells around 7:30 p.m. local time.A photograph published by the local Mineral Wells Index newspaper showed a collapsed building with its metal support beams and roof splayed across the street.The Weather Service said a tornado was also reported at the local police station. Officials there could not be immediately reached by phone.(Reporting by Curtis Skinner in San Francisco)

Colombia to hold mass funeral for landslide victims-AFP-may 20,15-yahoonews

Salgar (Colombia) (AFP) - Mourners will hold a collective funeral for the victims of a massive landslide that killed at least 78 people in northwest Colombia, religious officials said Wednesday.Rescue workers continued searching for victims after the Liboriana River burst its banks early Monday and sent a flood of mud rushing down a ravine, virtually obliterating the small town of La Margarita.But officials and family members said little hope remained that any of the missing would be found alive.Thirty-nine bodies have been identified in the regional capital Medellin and are expected to begin arriving home Thursday, said Ruben Lopez, the parish priest for Salgar, the municipality of 18,000 people where La Margarita is located.
"There will be a collective ceremony," he told AFP. It will be held in Salgar's main park because his church would likely be too small to hold all the mourners.Awaiting news of their loved ones' fate, survivors wrapped in mud-stained blankets gathered outside the local cemetery, where the bodies were being brought as they were found."In the midst of all this tragedy, the only hope we have left is to find them and give them a proper burial," said survivor Jaime Londono."I would like to see the search continue until all the families in town find our siblings, children, parents, grandchildren... whatever relatives there were," said Luz Arboleda, whose 33-year-old brother is still missing.His children, 11 and 14, survived the landslide, but their mother did not. Arboleda fears they are among those orphaned by the tragedy.At least nine children perished.More than 700 people were left homeless by the landslide, which hit in the middle of the night, when most residents were asleep.They are being housed in temporary shelters or on the coffee plantations that dot the region's green mountains and are the backbone of its economy.President Juan Manuel Santos has announced that affected families will receive $7,000 each, as well as temporary housing and help to rebuild their homes.Colombia's tropical climate and mountainous landscapes make it prone to landslides.Salgar's Municipal Development Plan for 2012 to 2015 had highlighted the risk of landslides in the area, local media reported.

Pope's No. 2 offers new insights into climate encyclical-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis' No. 2 says a new development model is needed to combat global warming, one that marries economic growth with sustainability.Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, said in another prelude to Francis' environment encyclical that both political and economic commitment will be required to ensure the planet's health for future generations.Parolin's remarks were contained in a message Wednesday to a conference of business and church leaders on how sustainable actions can drive the economic growth needed to lift people out of poverty. It's a theme that Francis is expected to explore in his encyclical, which is due in the coming weeks.The conference was organized by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, which aims to promote growth while addressing climate change.

Banks fined more than $5B, to plead guilty to market rigging-Associated Press By KEN SWEET and ERIC TUCKER-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four global banks agreed Wednesday to pay more than $5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to rigging the world's currency market, the first time in more than two decades that major players in the financial industry have admitted to criminal wrongdoing on such a scale.Traders at JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland conspired among themselves to fix exchange rates on U.S. dollars and euros, according to a resolution announced by the banks and the Justice Department. The currency traders, who called themselves "The Cartel," allegedly shared customer orders through chat rooms and used that information to profit at their clients' expense.The resolution is complex and involves multiple regulators in the U.S. and overseas.The four banks will pay a combined $2.5 billion in criminal penalties to the Justice Department for criminal manipulation of currency rates between 2007 and 2013. The Federal Reserve is slapping them with an additional $1.6 billion in fines, as the banks' chief regulator. Finally, Britain's Barclays is paying an additional $1.3 billion to British and U.S. regulators for its role in the scheme.Another bank, Switzerland's UBS, has agreed to plead guilty to manipulating key interest rates and will pay a separate criminal penalty of $203 million.Big banks have already been fined billions for their role in the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. Even so, the latest penalties are big. Including an agreement announced last year, the group of banks will pay nearly $9 billion in fines for manipulating the $5.3 trillion currency market.Still, the penalties pale in comparison to the banks' profits. JPMorgan Chase had $4.1 billion in revenue from its fixed income and currencies business in the first quarter of this year alone, while Citi had $3.48 billion.It is rare to see a bank plead guilty to wrongdoing. Even in the aftermath of the financial crisis, most financial companies reached "non-prosecution agreements" or "deferred prosecution agreements" with regulators, agreeing to pay billions in fines but not admitting any guilt. If any guilt was acknowledged, it was usually by one of the bank's subsidiaries or divisions — not the overall company.One of the most notable financial institutions to plead guilty to criminal wrongdoing was investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert. It pleaded guilty to fraud in the 1980s after the junk bond bubble burst.Unlike the stock and bond markets, currencies trade nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The market pauses two times a day, a moment known as "the fix." Traders in the cartel allegedly shared client orders with rivals ahead of the "fix" and pumped up currency rates to make profits.Global companies, which do business in multiple currencies, rely on their banks to give them the closest thing to an official exchange rate each day. The banks are supposed to be looking out for them instead of conspiring to get even bigger profits by using customers' orders against them. Travelers who regularly exchange currencies also need to get a fair price for their euros or dollars.The number of traders who took part in the currency fixing was small. JPMorgan said the one trader involved has been fired. Citi said it fired nine employees.The agreement with the Justice Department is subject to court approval. If it is approved, all five banks will be put on three years of corporate probation. They will also help prosecutors investigate individuals who took part in the rigging.

France broadly backs EU plan amid growing opposition to immigration-Reuters By Elizabeth Pineau and Mark John-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

PARIS (Reuters) - France gave broad backing on Wednesday to an EU scheme to share out asylum-seekers among EU states to deal with a surge of migrants, after a week of ambiguity that reflected growing public opposition to immigration.French diplomats acknowledged there had been confusion between Paris and Brussels on the project, but officials dismissed media reports that Paris opposed the plan outright.
The episode is the latest to underline growing sensitivities in the European Union as anti-immigrant movements such as France's National Front win support just as the continent sees a surge in migrants fleeing strife in Africa and the Middle East.The EU executive, the European Commission, last week unveiled a plan including a "temporary distribution mechanism" to help the bloc's 28 states better share out the effort of assessing asylum claims after over 600,000 sought refuge in the EU last year. It proposed allocating them according to a complex formula.In a statement issued after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Francois Hollande's Socialist government confirmed that it backed such a scheme, "built around criteria that need thorough discussion", but insisted it could not accept "quotas".The term has been latched onto by anti-immigration groups as a sign that refugees are being imposed on France from outside.It was then taken up last weekend by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who said in a speech that France could never accept migrant quotas.

"FRANCE WILL TAKE ITS SHARE"

Various French media took this to mean that Paris opposed the scheme outright, but a French diplomat who declined to be named said Paris was merely trying to avoid a loaded term."Things are simple in substance but complicated in the semantics. The communication has been a bit clumsy," said the diplomat. "France will take its share."A second official said Paris was happy with the spirit of the Commission proposals but still had concerns on how the distribution would be calculated; the amount of refugees to be brought in for resettlement; and how those who were simply economic migrants could be quickly identified.A Commission spokeswoman in Brussels said a legislative proposal would be presented to governments by the end of the month.The plan will need the backing of at least 15 countries representing 65 percent of the bloc's population. Spain has raised objections, while Britain has said it will opt out.French officials say that France, Italy, Britain, Germany and Sweden between them handle three-quarters of all asylum applications on the continent.Ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to win National Front voters over to his conservative UMP with tough policies on national identity and immigration. Valls is also noted for strong rhetoric on crime and illegal immigration.National Front leader Marine Le Pen said Valls' "No quotas" speech was a smokescreen."Manuel Valls is being deliberately vague when he talks about a fairer distribution of foreigners washing up on Europe's shores - which is tantamount to an increase in the migratory burden already weighing on France," she said in a statement.(Additional reporting by Alastair Macdonald in Brussels; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

Poroshenko says Ukraine waging 'real war' with Russia-AFP By Dmitry Zaks-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

Kiev (AFP) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sparked fresh Kremlin fury on Wednesday by warning that his crisis-torn country was fighting a "real war" against Russian aggressors that could escalate at any time.The pro-Western leader said the weekend capture of two purported Russian special forces members proved that the separatist uprising in the industrial east of Ukraine was a guise for a Moscow-orchestrated campaign aimed at breaking up his ex-Soviet state."This is not a fight with Russian-backed separatists, this is a real war with Russia," the 49-year-old Ukrainian leader told the BBC."The fact that we captured... Russian regular special forces soldiers (is) strong evidence of that."Ukraine's military on Tuesday showed off two wounded Russians who had been taken prisoner during a firefight in Lugansk -- a blue-collar region that together with neighbouring Donetsk revolted against Kiev's shift toward the West 13 months ago.The men testified during a taped interrogation that they entered the war zone nearly two months ago as part of a 200-strong reconnaissance unit from the Russian army's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).A Ukrainian Security Service spokesman said the suspects have been charged with involvement in "terrorist activity" and given a chance to phone their relatives back home.Moscow acknowledges the presence of Russian "volunteers" and off-duty servicemen in Ukraine but rejects charges that they are there under orders from President Vladimir Putin's generals.But two Russian opposition activists investigating the deaths of three other GRU members said they had found fresh graves that showed they died on active duty in Ukraine.Kiev's detention and display before world media on Tuesday of the two soldiers captured in Lugansk has outraged the Kremlin and threatened to cement Putin's resolve to keep Kiev within Moscow's orbit for years.Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said flatly that the "Kremlin does not agree" with what the Ukrainian leader told the BBC."First of all, one has to understand that unfortunately, Kiev is waging war against its own citizens," Russian news agencies quoted Peskov as saying."They are the ones coming under fire and they are the ones dying," said Peskov. "We should probably be talking about that first."The comments were followed a few hours later by a Ukrainian cabinet decision to suspend all sales of military and advanced aerospace equipment to Russia that began under the terms of a landmark agreement signed in 1993.Ukraine supplied Zenit rockets for Russia's lucrative commercial and strategic military satellite launches.It also built boosters that propelled Russian Proton cargo-hauling rockets to the International Space Station.

- Russia 'preparing an offensive' -

The United Nations believes the more than year-long conflict has claimed at least 6,250 lives and driven more than a million people from their homes.A second truce agreement Poroshenko struck with Putin with the help of the leaders of Germany and France in February has thus far failed to take complete hold.
Ukraine has lost at least eight servicemen since Monday in clashes across both of its renegade provinces.
Kiev blamed the violence on a new infusion of Russian troops, but agreed to hold a new round of ceasefire and political settlement talks with rebel representatives in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on Friday.Such talks have previously achieved little besides keeping all-out warfare from breaking out once again across the devastated region -- a possibility that Poroshenko said was all too real."I believe they are preparing an offensive and I think we should be ready," the Ukrainian president said.He added that he lacked "trust" in Putin but had no choice but to seek an understanding with the Kremlin strongman."I doubt the release of my territory (from Russian forces) could happen by military means," Poroshenko said.

Damascus (AFP) - Islamic State group fighters recaptured the north of Syria's historic city of Palmyra Wednesday in another setback to efforts to repel the advancing jihadists after the fall of Iraq's Ramadi.
Palmyra's UNESCO-listed heritage site, including ancient temples and colonnaded streets, and its adjacent museum housing priceless artefacts, are in the city's southwest."The situation is very bad," said Syria's antiquities chief, Mamoun Abdulkarim."If only five members of IS go into the ancient buildings, they'll destroy everything," he added, calling for international action to save the city.The head of the UN cultural agency, Irina Bokova, demanded an immediate halt to fighting in Palmyra which was "putting at risk one of the most significant sites in the Middle East".Hundreds of statues and artefacts from Palmyra's museum have already been transferred out of the city, according to Abdulkarim, but many others -- including massive tombs -- could not be moved.It was the second time IS has overrun northern Palmyra, after it seized the same neighbourhoods on Saturday but held them for less than 24 hours.Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said IS had seized roughly "a third" of Palmyra.After fierce clashes on the city's edges, the jihadists entered the northern quarter on foot and seized a state security building before fanning out as regime forces fled."People are very afraid of what will happen, because IS has the capability to get to the heart of Palmyra," said Khaled al-Homsi, an activist in the city.

- 'Everything is possible' -

The jihadists sparked international outrage earlier this year when they blew up the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud and smashed artefacts in the Mosul museum.Asked if IS would be able to reach Palmyra's ruins, a Syrian military source said "everything is possible in urban warfare".The source acknowledged the jihadists had infiltrated northern neighbourhoods and said they were engaged in "street fighting".Mohammad Hassan Homsi, another activist originally from Palmyra, said the fleeing regime soldiers "headed to the military intelligence headquarters near the ruins".In neighbouring Iraq, fighting subsided three days after IS took control of Ramadi, just 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of the capital.The jihadists' capture of the city was their most significant victory since mid-2014 when they conquered swathes of land, sparking a US-led air campaign to support Baghdad.The United States says it is now considering accelerating the training and equipping of tribal forces to fight IS following Ramadi's fall.Besides the more than 3,000 air strikes carried out so far, Washington has supported a deep reform of Iraq's army and offered training to Sunni tribesmen to reclaim their own provinces.But that failed to prevent the loss of Ramadi, where militias backed by US arch-foe Iran will now take the lead in any counter-attack and reinforce their influence in Iraq.US President Barack Obama huddled Tuesday with his national security team but signalled no change of tack, despite mounting calls for a more decisive approach."There is no formal strategy review," National Security Council spokesman Alistair Baskey told AFP after the meeting.

- Planning Ramadi fightback -

"We are looking at how best to support local ground forces in Anbar," he said, "including accelerating the training and equipping of local tribes and supporting an Iraqi-led operation to retake Ramadi."However there was no suggestion weapons would be sent directly to tribes in Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, instead of via the central government in Baghdad.On Wednesday, there were no reports of major fighting as senior Iraqi officers said the anti-IS camp needed time to plan and coordinate its operations.
When Ramadi fell, separate militias announced they were rushing forces to the area and blamed the government for making that decision a month too late.During a visit to Baghdad, Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan stressed Tehran's commitment to Iraqi unity but also emphasised Iran's role in the fight against IS.According to officials from Anbar, at least 500 people were killed in three days of fighting in Ramadi during which IS used waves of suicide car bombs.The army's retreat was chaotic, once again raising questions over the credibility of Iraq's regular forces.At least 40,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the process, and many were left stranded at a bridge separating Anbar from the Baghdad governorate.The UN appealed for increased assistance to those displaced by the violence.

Canada arrests 10 suspected of heading to join militants in Mideast-Reuters By Allison Lampert-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Canadian police arrested 10 young people from Montreal who they suspect wanted to leave the country to join militant groups in the Middle East, officials said on Wednesday.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the 10 were detained last weekend in a series of arrests at Montreal's international airport. No charges have been laid and police declined to give any details about the people."We have reason to believe that the young Montrealers wanted to travel abroad to join jihadist groups," said RCMP spokesman Constable Erique Gasse.Police said the passports of all 10 were confiscated.Montreal is the largest city in the French-speaking province of Quebec and Canada, like other western nations, is trying to stem the flow of disaffected, mostly young Muslims, who want to join groups such as Islamic State.Six Canadian teens aged 18 to 19 disappeared from Quebec in January and February and are believed to have traveled to join Islamic State militants.French-language public broadcaster Radio-Canada said that some of the people arrested last weekend had wanted to fly to Syria via Turkey. It did not identify its sources. Police had been alerted by family members, the report said.Radio-Canada cited a lawyer for one detainee as saying the youth had been recruited over the Internet by someone promising "a better life".Last month, Canada's spy agency said the number of Canadians leaving to join militant groups in Iraq and Syria had increased 50 percent in the past few months.Canada's Conservative government introduced tough new legislation aimed at giving more powers to police and security agencies, enabling them to stop people trying to leave to join militant groups.Canada last year sent 70 special forces troops to help train Iraqi soldiers fight Islamic State, which took over swathes of Iraq and Syria last year. Six Canadian jets are taking part in U.S.-led bombing attacks against the group in both Iraq and Syria."We will not sit on the sidelines but instead join our allies to degrade and defeat (Islamic State)," Public Safety Minister Stephen Blaney said in a statement on the weekend's arrests.(Reporting by Allison Lampert, writing by David Ljunggren; Editing by Grant McCool)

Russia's Putin tells army to shape up for foreign threat-By Alexei Anishchuk | Reuters – FEB 28,13

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Vladimir Putin ordered military leaders on Wednesday to make urgent improvements to the armed forces during his new presidential term, saying Russia must thwart attempts by the West to tip the strategic balance of power.Putin's remarks, to rows of uniformed officers and defense officials, reflected increasing hawkishness since he returned to the Kremlin for a six-year term last May, and a growing readiness to cite foreign threats and use anti-Western rhetoric to rally support."Attempts are being made to tip the strategic balance," said Putin, who as president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, told his audience at the General Staff academy on Moscow's outskirts. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, sat in the front row."Geopolitical dynamics call for a quick and considered response ... Russia's armed forces must move on to a new level of capabilities in the next three to five years," said Putin, who has not ruled out seeking another term in 2018.The former KGB spy said moves that threatened Russia's geopolitical position included the eastward expansion of Russia's former Cold War foe NATO and U.S. deployment of an anti-missile shield in Europe.He said drills must be sharpened up and held with less advance warning, to keep soldiers on their toes."Combat training must not be laid-back, so that soldiers know about emergency exercises six months in advance, but must be as similar as possible to the real conditions of modern combat and warfare," he said.Following a decade of military spending cuts after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Putin has been the driving force behind plans to spend 23 trillion roubles ($750 billion) through 2020 to upgrade Russia's ageing armaments.

SOVIET-ERA INFRASTRUCTURE

Russia's military, with roughly 1 million servicemen, is still largely reliant on Soviet-era infrastructure and weaponry. It continues to rely on conscription, despite Kremlin pledges to turn it fully professional.
Rights activists say brutal bullying has been rampant since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the military has long been plagued by corruption. The top military prosecutor said in 2011 that a fifth of the budget was stolen or embezzled.Former defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov set out ambitious military reforms in 2008, after Russia fought a brief war with Georgia that highlighted the failings of the armed forces.But Serdyukov was sacked in November, and is now a witness in a criminal case in which a former subordinate is accused of fraud and embezzlement in deals involving Defence Ministry property.Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, the ally Putin named to replace Serdyukov, said on Wednesday he would make an inventory of army property to try to reduce corruption, widely seen as the main obstacle to moderni zation.Shoigu also said Russia needs warships in the Mediterranean at all times "to protect its national interests".Russia has a modest naval maintenance facility in the Syrian port of Tartous that is its only military base outside the ex-Soviet Union, but it does not have a constant presence in the Mediterranean .Putin has repeatedly evoked foreign threats since returning to the presidency as he tries to lift his ratings following the biggest protests since he first rose to power in 2000.He has accused the United States of backing the protests against him, and Russia has introduced a law since his return to the Kremlin that forces campaign and lobby groups that are funded from abroad to register as "foreign agents".Putin has also increasingly underlined traditional Russian values and taken a tough line against the protesters in an attempt to rally support among the conservatives who have long been his power base.Relations with the United States have deteriorated over Washington's missile defense plans and American concerns about political freedom in Russia, as well as trade disputes.(Additional reporting by Steve Gutterman; Editing by Timothy Heritage and Michael Roddy)
