Headline:   PLO’s Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday to redefine relations with Israel

The PLO’s Central Council is due to meet Wednesday to redefine its relationship and its economic and security cooperation with Israel, the Palestinian chief negotiator said Sunday.
Saeb Erekat, in a meeting with members of the Foreign Press Association in Jerusalem, used almost identical language to what was said a month earlier by Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi. Erekat said Israel has stopped its obligations and has abrogated all the agreements that it has with the Palestinian Authority.
He said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is undermining Palestinian moderates because he doesn’t want a Palestinian state in which people can live in dignity and peace.
Erekat said Israel is committing crimes against the Palestinian people. He suggested that a legal expert from an Israeli university write a paper on the subject and give it to Netanyahu.
“We will hold the Israeli prime minister accountable for any crimes committed against Palestinians,” Erekat said. “It will not be cost-free legally.”

Headline:  Israeli Airstrike Kills 4 Suspected Syrians Militants in Golan Heights

Headline: : Hezbollah terror attack on Golan stokes face-off between Israel and the Syrian-Hizballah alliance

Israeli forces on Sunday killed four suspected militants whom it says were caught trying to plant a bomb in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli military officials say they launched an airstrike on the militants near the town of Majdal Shams, close to the Israeli-Syrian border. The officials say the four were targeting Israeli troops. The military said it carried out the strike after troops saw ‘‘a group of armed terrorists’’ approach the border with an explosive intended to target Israeli troops. It said that Israeli aircraft ‘‘targeted the squad, preventing the attack.’’ It did not offer any casualty figure for the strike. Iran’s state-run, English-language satellite news channel Press TV later reported four people had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Golan Heights, without elaborating. On Twitter, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, sent messages commending the soldiers involved in the strike. ‘‘Any attempt to harm our soldiers and civilians will be met with a determined response like the military action tonight that thwarted a terror attack,’’ Netanyahu said.

Headline:    US Expects Israeli Pledge to Two-States to Continue

Headline: : PLO: No negotiations after Netanyahu’s pre-election refusal of Palestinian state

US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman had a harsh message for American Jewish leaders on Monday. Sherman warned them that if the new Israeli government does not demonstrate a strong commitment to the two-state solution, the US will have trouble assisting it in efforts to halt international initiatives at the United Nations. Speaking at a conference of the Reform Movement in the United States, Sherman insisted the US government has “always had Israel’s back in the international arena, even when it meant standing alone. This will continue to be the case.” But, she continued, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s actions prior to elections “raised questions about his commitment to the two-state solution.” Sherman refers to a series of interviews the Prime Minister gave days before general elections on March 17, in which he vowed not to establish a Palestinian state. Netanyahu later backtracked on his statements. “We will be watching very closely to see what happens on this [Palestinian] issue after the new government is formed,” Sherman added.

Headline:  Islamic State suicide bombers kill Iraqi soldiers at Jordanian border

Suicide car bombings by Islamic State militants at an Iraq-Jordan border crossing left at least five Iraqi soldiers dead Saturday and crippled the movement of trucks between the two Middle East nations. Three attacks were carried out by suicide bombers from Senegal, Belgium and France on the Iraqi side of the Trebil border crossing, according to a statement from Islamic State in Iraq’s western Anbar province. The militant group said 40 soldiers were killed in the checkpoint attack, about 300 miles west of Baghdad, and the Iraqi army headquarters there was destroyed. Images of the attack on social media showed plumes of smoke rising over a desolate collection of trailer trucks and buildings. Iraqi government forces disputed that account, saying five soldiers were killed and 10 wounded, according to the Jordanian state news agency Petra. Jordan’s Interior Ministry, in a statement released Saturday, said the attack “led to technical failures and stopped movement toward Jordan’s Al Karama border crossing,” less than two miles away.

Headline:  Fighting escalates across Yemen, air strikes on capital Sanaa

Headline:  Saudi national guards reach Yemen border area as fighting continues

Air raids, naval shelling and ground fighting shook Yemen on Sunday in some of the most widespread combat since a Saudi-led alliance intervened last month against Iranian-allied Houthi militia who have seized large tracts of the country. There were at least five air strikes on military positions and an area near the presidential palace compound in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa at dawn on Sunday, while warships pounded an area near the port of the southern city of Aden, residents said. “The explosions were so big they shook the house, waking us and our kids up. Life has really become unbearable in this city,” a Sanaa resident who gave his name as Jamal told Reuters. The strikes on Sanaa were the first since the Saudi-led coalition said last week it was scaling back a campaign against the Houthis. But the air raids soon resumed as the Houthis’ nationwide gains had not been notably rolled back, and there has been no visible progress toward peace talks.

Headline:  ISIS Says It’s Established A Caliphate In Yemen

Yemen is in the midst of bloody civil war between Iran-affiliated Houthi rebels and forces associated with President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, but now a new threat has struck the war-torn country. In a video posted online Friday, the Iraq-based Islamic State states it is establishing a new arm of the organization in Yemen. Declaring its official presence in the country, the Sunni Islamic State threatens to “cut the throats” of the Shitte Houthi rebels. The nine-minute video depicts around two dozen ISIS terrorists in full military gear training in a desert area, which they claim is near Yemen’s capital Sanaa, news site RT reported. Terrorists carry AK-47s, heavy machine guns and RPGs, which they fire in the clip. Afterwards, a man, who appears to be the commander of the group, sticks the notorious black ISIS flag into the sand and announces that “soldiers of the Caliphate” have arrived to “cut the throats” of the Houthis. “We have come to Yemen to slaughter you, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied,” the ISIS commander continued. He then called on all Sunni men in Yemen to join Islamic State’s battle against the Houthis.

Syria Headline:   Second Idlib Stronghold Falls to Jabhat al-Nusra and Rebel Forces

Islamist rebels in Syria have taken over the key north-western town of Jisr al-Shughur, activists say. It was the last major town under government control in Idlib province. Correspondents say it may give rebels a route to the ruling elite’s heartland. The Islamist forces, including the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front, began the assault on Thursday. State media said the army had redeployed outside the town “to avoid civilian casualties”. They quoted a military official as saying that, before withdrawing, troops had engaged in fierce fighting with “armed terrorist groups” who arrived in large numbers from the Turkish border.

Air strikes on a marketplace Sunday killed at least 40 civilians, including women and children, as Syrian forces stepped up attacks on rebels a day after losing a key border town. There were fears the death toll would mount from the bombing raids on Darkush, a rebel-held town near the Turkish frontier, which also wounded dozens of people, a monitoring group said. The attacks came after rebel groups including Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate overran the nearby town of Jisr al-Shughur on Saturday, tightening their grip on the northwestern province of Idlib less than a month after capturing its capital.

Syria Headline:   Islamist Rebels Capture Army Base in Syria’s Idlib Province

A coalition of Islamist rebels seized an army base in northwestern Syria at dawn on Monday after a suicide bomber from al-Qaida’s Nusra Front drove a truck packed with explosives into the compound and blew it up. The capture, reported by a rebel commander and social media videos showing militants inside the base, brought the coalition closer to seizing most of Idlib province and moving toward Latakia, the ancestral home of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The army had been using the Qarmeed camp to shell rebel-held towns and villages in the strategic agricultural region bordering Turkey. Controlling it should help the rebels tighten their siege on the major Mastouma army base nearby. Syrian state media said the army killed scores of Nusra fighters and dozens of Islamist suicide bombers from Russia’s Chechnya region in fighting near the base, but did not say the compound had fallen to the militants. “A truck with two tons of explosives penetrated one of the entrances of the camp that made it easier to take over the camp,” Sheik Husam Abu Bakr, a rebel commander from Ahrar al-Sham movement said via Skype.

Syria Headline:  Syrian airstrikes hit Islamist headquarters in Hasakah, casualties reported

ISIS troops have launched an offensive on the northeastern provincial capital of Hasakeh, which the regime controls in an uneasy power-sharing agreement with Kurdish forces. “Fierce clashes have remained ongoing between the Islamic State (ISIS) on one side and regime forces and pro-regime militants on the other, after a fierce attack launched by ISIS members from several fronts around the city of Hasakeh,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Monday. The monitoring group said that the ISIS assault came on the heels off a bombing attack that targeted one of the regime’s positions to the south of the city. “ISIS advanced in the area amid heavy exchanges of fire in which artillery shells, rockets and heavy machineguns were used by the two sides,” the report added. “News has emerged that regime forces summoned reinforcements to the area while ISIS positions south of Hasakeh and the combat zones were subjected to air strikes by regime warplanes.”

Iraq Headline:   Car Bombings in Iraq’s Capital Kill at Least 20 Civilians

A series of car bombings targeting busy commercial areas in Iraq’s capital killed at least 20 civilians Monday, officials said. The deadliest attack took place Monday night when a car bomb exploded on a commercial street in Baghdad’s western district of Mansour, killing 10 people and wounding 25, police said. Security forces sealed off the area, which is often packed with nighttime shoppers. At least 20 cars were set ablaze by the blast, which damaged several shops and restaurants. Police said four children were among the wounded. An hour later, a car bombing on a commercial street killed three people and wounded 12 in Baghdad’s Amil neighborhood, police said. Earlier Monday, another car bomb exploded in Baghdad’s Bayaa district near a real estate office in an area where dozens gather every day. A police official said that blast killed seven people and wounded at least 16. Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.

Iraq Headline: Week of fighting in Iraq’s Ramadi kills 30 police: officer

A week of heavy fighting between security forces and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group in the Ramadi area of Anbar province killed 30 police, a top officer said on Monday. “The city of Ramadi witnessed heavy confrontations and fighting last week between security forces” and ISIS, Anbar police chief Staff Major General Kadhim al-Fahdawi said, putting the toll at 30 police killed and 100 wounded. Parts of the capital of Anbar province have been out of government control since early 2014, and ISIS seized more territory in the Ramadi area this month. Major attacks also hit other areas of Anbar last week, including three suicide bombings claimed by ISIS targeting the Iraqi side of the Trebil border crossing with Jordan on Saturday that officials said killed seven people. And 13 soldiers, among them two senior officers, were killed in a bombing and clashes east of Ramadi on Friday, Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi said. Obeidi on Sunday rejected reports that more than 100 soldiers were killed in the violence, which was originally said to have taken place in the Nadhim al-Tharthar area, but which he said was actually 30 kilometers (18 miles) to the south.

The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Monday accused Saudi Arabia of treachery against the Islamic world and compared the kingdom to Israel, the official IRNA news agency reported. “Today, the treacherous Saudis are following in Israel’s footsteps,” Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as saying. “Saudi Arabia is shamelessly and disgracefully bombing and mass killing a nation that is fighting against the arrogant system,” or world powers, he said. He was apparently referring to Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been waging a month-long air campaign against Iran-supported rebels, known as Houthis. Iran has provided the Houthis with political and humanitarian support, but denies arming them. The Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, last year, and Yemen’s internationally recognized president has fled the country. Iranian leaders have repeatedly criticized the airstrikes and said the Saudi-led campaign is doomed to fail. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went so far as to call the airstrikes in Yemen “genocide.” Jafari said the Saudi monarchy is facing collapse and called on his government to adopt a tougher stance toward Riyadh.

Headline:  Blast kills five civilians in southern Afghanistan

Thousands of Taliban fighters attacked Afghan forces in the northern province of Kunduz (spelled Konduz in map above) in an effort to seize control of the provincial capital and outlying districts. Afghan officials have said that several areas of Kunduz are now under the jihadist group’s control. Taliban forces assaulted the districts of Imam Sahib, Aliabad, and Qala-i-Zal as well as areas in Kunduz city over the weekend. The chief of Kunduz’s provincial council claimed that “about 2,000 heavily-armed insurgents attacked” the district center in Imam Sahib, and that contact with more than 500 Afghan security personnel in the district has been lost, Pajhwok Afghan News reported. The governor of Kunduz conceded that the Taliban have taken control of several villages and that security forces have abandoned at least three outposts. The governor also claimed that the Taliban organized the offensive with fighters from other Afghan provinces, and six foreign fighters – four Tajiks and two “Chechens” – were among 40 Taliban fighters killed during the fighting, TOLOnews reported. Security forces are said to have beat back the Taliban assault in Qala-i-Zal district, but fighting is ongoing in Imam Sahib, Aliabad, and the Gor Tepa area in Kunduz city. The security situation has deteriorated in Kunduz since last year. The head of the provincial council estimated that more than 65 percent of the province is under Taliban control. The Taliban touted the Kunduz offensive on its official propaganda website, Voice of Jihad. The jihadist group claimed that its fighters “seized as many as 21 combat posts and captured 6 tanks including 2 vehicles filled with heavy and small arms and ammunition tanks in the limits of Kunduz city.” The Taliban also claimed it killed or wounded “several dozens of the enemy soldiers, police and Arbakis [tribal militiamen],” including “top-ranking officers and commanders.” The group also stated it captured 55 security personnel, “mostly Arbakis.” The Taliban’s claims cannot be independently confirmed. Afghan officials claimed 16 security personnel were killed or wounded during the fighting. The Kunduz assault is the first major push by the Taliban under its newly-announced spring offensive, which the group has dubbed “Azm” (resolve or determination).

Sudan has accused a peacekeeping force in Darfur of killing seven civilians in three separate incidents last week, threatening to exacerbate the government’s strained relations with the international mission. The African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) denied the allegations, saying the peacekeepers had responded in self-defence to two attacks on April 23 and 24, which it said had left four assailants dead and six peacekeepers wounded. UNAMID has been deployed in Darfur since 2007 with a mandate to stem violence against civilians in a conflict that has seen the International Criminal Court issue an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and genocide. Sudan asked UNAMID late last year to prepare to leave amid a dispute over attempts by the mission to investigate an alleged mass rape by Sudanese soldiers in the Darfur town of Tabit. The government denies any wrongdoing by the soldiers.

Islamic State militants have slit the throats of five journalists working for a Libyan TV station in the eastern part of the country, an army commander said on Monday. The reporters had been missing since August, when they left the eastern city of Tobruk after covering the inauguration of the country’s elected parliament to travel to Benghazi. Their route took them through Derna, a militant Islamist hotspot. Faraj al-Barassi, a district army commander in eastern Libya, said militants loyal to Islamic State were responsible for killing the journalists, whose bodies were found outside the eastern city of Bayda. “Five bodies with slit throats were found today in the Green Mountain forests,” Barrasi told Reuters, referring to a sparsely populated area east of Benghazi. He did not say when the five journalists were believed to have been killed. The reporters – four Libyans and one Egyptian – had been working for Barqa TV, an eastern television supporting federalism for eastern Libya, other journalists said.

An upcoming election there could trigger an increase in violence, a Royal Bank of Scotland report indicated. There have been 31 confirmed deaths along trench-style warfare lines in the area, the Azerbaijani Caspian defense Studies Institute reported. The election May 3 “could further escalate the tensions, increasing the risks of a wider confrontation over the disputed territory,” Anna Tokar, a Royal Bank of Scotland analyst wrote on April 16, “putting the oil and gas pipelines in the South Caucasus in danger.”

At least six people have been killed in street clashes between the police and civilians demonstrating against the Burundian president’s bid for a third term, a spokesman for the Burundi Red Cross said on Monday, as hundreds continued to gather in the streets of the capital despite a heavy military presence. Three people were killed in clashes with the police on Sunday and three others died of their injuries overnight, Alexis Manirakiza told The Associated Press by phone from Bujumbura, Burundi’s capital. Seven more people had been wounded, he said. Bujumbura has been hit by protests since Sunday after the ruling party nominated President Pierre Nkurunziza for another term, which many say is unconstitutional.
Hundreds of demonstrators erected barricades and set tires alight in Bujumbura on Monday. The military was deployed on the streets after violent clashes on Sunday.

Headline:   25 Killed, Hundreds Injured in Powerful Pakistan Windstorm

At least 25 people were killed and hundreds more injured Sunday when devastating windstorm coupled with heavy rain and hail hit Peshawar in northwest Pakistan. And officials are worried there may be many more casualties. 25 dead and around more than 160 injured. “We received 25 dead and more than 160 injured so far. But injured are still being shifted to the hospital and I am afraid death toll may rise,” said Jamil Shah, spokesman for Lady Reading Hospital, the largest public hospital in the area. About 60 injured people had been brought to two other hospitals in Peshawar. Some of the injured were said to be in critical condition. Many other injured people have yet to be taken to hospitals because of road conditions, officials said.

Headline:  Rescuers struggle to reach many in Nepal quake, fear worst

Headline:  Death toll rises to 3,800 after Nepal quake

The death toll from Nepal’s earthquake soared past 3,300 Monday, and how much higher it would rise depended largely on the condition of vulnerable mountain villages that rescue workers were still struggling to reach two days after the disaster. Reports received so far by aid groups suggest that many communities perched on mountainsides are devastated or struggling to cope. Landslides hindered rescue teams that tried to use mountain trails to reach those in need, said Prakash Subedi, chief district official in the Gorkha region, where the quake was centered. Matt Darvas, a member of the aid group World Vision, said it is likely that many communities can be reached only by helicopter. “Villages like this are routinely affected by landslides, and it’s not uncommon for entire villages of 200, 300, up to 1,000 people to be completely buried by rock falls,” Darvas said.

Headline:  Chile’s Calbuco volcano covers town of Ensenada in ash

People living in the vicinity of the Calbuco volcano in Chile are trying to save their homes and their livestock after tonnes of ash rained down following two volcanic eruptions. The roofs of a number of homes and businesses collapsed under the weight of the ash and residents feared for their sheep and cows. Soldiers have been deployed to help with the clean-up. The authorities have warned of the possibility of further eruptions.  They also said that should it rain, the ash could mix with debris to create dangerous mudflows. The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile erupted twice last week, forcing the evacuation of more than 6,000 people. Chilean authorities said on Saturday that the volcano had spewed out an estimated 210 million cubic metres (7,420 million cubic feet) of ash.

Headline:  Scottish parliament discusses recognition of Palestinian state

A Scottish parliament debate on Monday on the recognition of a Palestinian state as a means to revive peace negotiations drew sharp condemnations from Jerusalem. Noting that the debate took place on the eve of Israel’s Memorial Day, one Israeli official called the discussion “pointless” and “shameful.” The parliament in Edinburgh did not vote at the end of the poorly attended session, but most speakers expressed support for the motion, several of them criticizing Israel for running an “apartheid” regime and “inhumane” policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians. The motion, proposed by Glasgow MP Sandra White, stated that the parliament “believes that the recognition of the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel based on 1967 borders could be a stimulus to securing a negotiated two-state solution in the Middle East and notes the opinion of many Israelis and Palestinians living in Glasgow, the rest of Scotland and beyond that resolution through peaceful means is the only option.”

Netanyahu, who was heavily criticized for his statements about Arab voters during last month’s elections, stressed the importance of unity on Memorial Day. “We are one family: Jews and our non-Jewish brothers — Druze, Muslims, Bedouins, Christians, Circassians,” he said.

Headline:  Judge orders NY transit agency to run ‘Killing Jews’ ad

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to display on its buses a controversial ad that refers to Muslims killing Jews, rejecting the argument that the ad could incite terrorism or imminent violence. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl in Manhattan said the ad from the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which had previously run in Chicago and San Francisco, was protected speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ad portrays a menacing man wearing a scarf around his head and face, includes a quotation “Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah” attributed to “Hamas MTV,” and then states, “That’s His Jihad. What’s yours?” Koeltl said he was “sensitive” to the security concerns, but noted that the MTA and Chairman Thomas Prendergast “underestimate the tolerant quality of New Yorkers and overestimate the potential impact of these fleeting advertisements. It strains credulity to believe that New Yorkers would be incited to violence by ads that did not incite residents of Chicago and San Francisco.”

Headline:  Mortar fire kills 2 kids in Sinai

Mortar fire killed two five-year-old boys Monday in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, officials said, hours after a bomb killed three soldiers in the area where troops are fighting an insurgency.
Mortar rounds struck a residential area south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid in North Sinai late on Monday in which the two boys were killed, medics said. Earlier a roadside bomb struck an armored military vehicle on the Egyptian side of the divided city of Rafah on the Gaza border, killing an army officer and two soldiers. Another soldier was also wounded when the bomb hit the vehicle in the Tawil Al-Amir district. Militants who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria, said they carried out the bomb attack. “We blew up an armored vehicle of the apostate army and everyone inside was killed,” IS Sinai Province said on a Twitter account attributed to the group.
In a separate incident, four IS fighters were killed when they attempted to attack a checkpoint in North Sinai’s provincial capital of El-Arish, police said.

Headline:  Campaign against Yemen rebels enters new phase, Saudi Arabia says

A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition targeting rebels in Yemen with airstrikes said Tuesday that the so-called “Decisive Storm” campaign is over, but that allies will launch a new phase aimed at stopping the rebels. Speaking at a news conference in Riyadh on Tuesday, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri said the objectives of the campaign have been met and that it would cease at midnight. He said the rebels no longer pose a danger to civilians and that the new phase, called “Renewal of Hope” would focus on rebuilding the country while interdicting the rebels. But Asiri did not rule out future airstrikes against the Houthi rebels. The Saudi embassy in Washington released a statement Tuesday mirroring a series of remarks by Gen. Asiri, saying the military campaign had achieved its objectives, which included “the prevention of the flow of weapons from outside of Yemen into the country.” Later in the day, the official Saudi news agency reported that King Salman has ordered the country’s National Guard to take part in the Yemen operation. There were no further details on the scope of the deployment but it appeared to be another step toward a possible ground invasion.

Headline:  US Yemen ceasefire bid founders as Saudis resume air strikes, Iranian warships on course for Gulf of Aden

Saudi-led coalition jets have bombed Houthi rebels in Yemen’s third city of Taiz, hours after announcing the end of a military campaign against them. The strikes followed the fall of the base outside Taiz of an army unit loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Fighting was also reported in the second city of Aden, Lahj’s provincial capital Huta, and the town of Daleh. On Tuesday, Riyadh declared its month-long campaign, which sought to restore the president, had achieved its goals. But it warned that it would continue to take action against the Houthis as needed. More work “needs to be done” in Yemen, US White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told CNN, while emphasising the need for a negotiated solution. On Wednesday the Houthi rebels asked for the coalition action to end and for UN-sponsored peace talks. The UN says at least 944 people have been killed and 3,487 injured in air strikes, fighting on the ground and attacks by jihadist militants in Yemen since 19 March.

Syria Headline:   23 killed in airstrikes across Syria

Syrian government aircraft bombed rebel-held areas in the capital’s suburbs and a northern town and surrounding villages controlled by the Islamic State group, including a strike on a local hospital, killing at least 23 people Wednesday, activists said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes on the town of Dayr Hafir and surrounding villages in the northern province of Aleppo killed at least 12 people, including women and children, and wounded at least 40. The group said the casualty figures are likely to rise. Activist Abu al-Hassan Marea, who is based near the town, told The Associated Press the airstrikes in Dayr Hafir hit a local hospital, killing at least 21 people, mostly civilians and medics. The Aleppo Media Center activist group said the strike on the hospital killed 23, mostly civilians. Marea said another airstrike on a nearby village, also held by Islamic State fighters, killed seven people. The discrepancies in the casualty figures could not be immediately reconciled, but such differences are common in the chaotic aftermath of attacks in Syria.

Syria Headline: Syrian rebels attack regime positions in Aleppo

On Tuesday, clashes renewed between Syrian rebels and pro-regime forces in the Rashideen and Salahuddin districts of Aleppo in northern Syria, amid attempts by opposition fighters to advance in the strategic neighborhood of Rashideen which is considered a main supply line to the pro-regime forces in Aleppo. Speaking to ARA News in Aleppo, documentation activist Mohammed al-Zahrawi said that the clashes began with the early morning hours in the southwestern part of the neighborhood of Rashideen where the opposition forces were able to seize new buildings following the partial withdrawal of pro-Assad forces. At least two pro-regime solders were killed in the clashes, while the armed opposition lost four of its fighters during Tuesday’s operations. In the Salahuddin district, fierce clashes broke out Tuesday where the pro-regime forces tried to regain some of the buildings overlooking an intelligence unit. “The clashes continued until midnight Tuesday,” said al-Zahrawi.

Kurdish forces backed by Free Syrian Army-affiliated fighters have surrounded the strategic ISIS stronghold of Sarrin, which lies in a key position north of the militant group’s de-facto Raqqa capital. “Intense clashes between Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) fighters supported by [FSA] rebel troops on one hand and ISIS militants on the other have been ongoing for the past 48 hours in the villages surrounding Sarrin,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported late Tuesday. The Observatory cited “trusted sources” as saying that at least 10 ISIS members have been killed in the fighting. “YPG fighters have seized control over three villages outside Sarrin and completely surrounded the grain silos outside the town.” Kurdish media outlets, meanwhile, touted the success of their troops and said that YPG forces backed by FSA troops had seized the silos outside of Sarrin. The commander of the FSA’s Northern Sun Brigade told Kurdish Bas News that the joint forces were “at the gates of Sarrin, with only kilometer separating them and the town.”

At least 42 fighters were killed in 24 hours of fierce fighting between Islamist rebels and ISIS in Syria’s Damascus province, an activist group said Wednesday. “At least 30 Islamist rebels and 12 fighters from IS were killed in fighting since Tuesday” in the hilly region of Qalamun, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.  Qalamun is divided into a western portion, which borders Lebanon and is mostly controlled by the regime and its ally, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah. Meanwhile, 13 civilians, including nine children, were killed Tuesday night in shelling in the northwest province of Idlib, whose provincial capital was overrun by al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate and allied rebels.

Syria Headline: ISIS batters Nusra in desert Qalamun battle

ISIS has inflicted heavy casualties against the Al-Nusra Front and allied rebels in a strategic area of the Syrian desert northeast of Damascus, setting back rebel plans to fight ISIS outside the capital. “At least 30 Al-Nusra Front and rebel fighters were killed during fierce clashes with ISIS in the Muhassa area on the outskirts of eastern Qalamoun,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday. Reports emerged afterward that ISIS had seized Muhassa, which lies at a strategic point between Damascus to the south, the Qalamoun mountains to the west and the Jordanian border to the southeast. The Observatory said ISIS had “managed to retake large parts of the area,” while Lebanese daily As-Safir reported that ISIS had “announced its dominance of Muhassa… which has witnessed numerous battles recently.” ISIS notched a further victory in the fighting with the killing of Nusra’s top commander for the eastern Qalamoun front, according to media reports.

Iraq Headline:   Iraqi troops seize parts of Ramadi from Islamic State

Iraqi security forces and allied Sunni militias took back key parts of the city of Ramadi on Tuesday, officials say. The move is the latest reversal for the Islamic State, which recently lost up to 25 percent of the territory it seized after blitzing into Iraq’s north and west last summer, according to U.S. estimates. Security officials in Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, said government forces, with the backing of Sunni tribal fighters and coalition airstrikes, took key areas in the city’s west, including a hospital where militants barricaded themselves on Tuesday before running out of ammunition and blowing themselves up. On April 17, U.S. Central Command reported 13 total airstrikes in Iraq, including two in Ramadi that destroyed a heavy machine gun position, vehicles and an IS tactical unit. Iraqi security forces now face a slow advance into Ramadi’s east, which IS forces have littered with roadside bombs. IS also claims to be making advances in Ramadi, according to the BBC.

Russia

Headline:  Russia Wants to ‘Redesign’ the Middle East

Under the radar last week, Vladimir Putin met with Mahmoud Abbas in Moscow. The meeting was not considered remarkable as Abbas has started to visit the Kremlin on an annual basis. The timing, though, corresponded with Putin’s definitely remarkable announcement Russia would reinitiate its sale of S-300 missiles to Iran. According to Sarah Fainberg of the Institute for National Security Studies, it is hard to ignore the correlation. “The official announcement that Putin was lifting the ban happened a few hours after Russia received Abbas in Moscow. It might be just a coincidence. But at this level of decision-making, coincidences are rare. It is sending a message about Russia’s intentions in the Middle East.” Russia’s goals in the region have been opaque for analysts, even more so for people unfamiliar with Russian politics. Spokesman for the White House Josh Earnest belittled the Russians by suggesting the missile sale was all about badly needed currency. But Fainberg says that that is hardly the entire picture. The money Russia would make from the deal is extremely limited and cannot hope to make a massive impact on a Russian economy in its sixth year of recession. “Basically we often quote economic reasons and these are valid, real reasons. But the ultimate and decisive reason is of a geopolitical nature meaning Russia wants to ultimately redesign the Middle East to its best interests and this explains the intensification of its activities in the past weeks whether in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen or Iran. For Russia it is also about containing the spread of Sunni fundamentalism through its Southern borders. The number of Chechen fighters in Iraq and Syria has been on the rise.”

Russia is arming Iraq and Syria to help them fight Islamic State, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday, calling the radical militant group the main threat to his own country’s security. “Islamic State is our main enemy at the moment. If only because hundreds of Russian citizens, hundreds of Europeans, hundreds of Americans fight alongside IS,” he said in an interview with three radio stations. “They are already coming back… and to enjoy themselves could stage vile acts at home.” Russia has criticized air strikes by a U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State positions in Syria and Iraq, and encouraged Washington to work with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the battle against IS. “We are helping both Iraq and Syria, possibly more effectively than anyone else, by providing weapons to their armies and security forces,” Lavrov said, without giving details of the weapons.

Headline:    State Department won’t rule out $50B ‘signing bonus’ for Iran

The timing of sanctions relief is the main sticking point in nuclear talks that resumed on Wednesday with a meeting between delegates from Iran and the European Union. Arriving in Vienna, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi reiterated Iran’s position: “All the economic sanctions should be lifted on the day that the deal is implemented,” Iranian news agency Tasnim reported. The United States says the sanctions, imposed on Iran by countries concerned that its nuclear programme could be aimed at weapons development, would have to be phased out gradually. Referring to concerns that the U.S. Congress might try to delay lifting sanctions, Araqchi told state television that President Barack Obama’s administration was “responsible to ensure that its commitments, particularly sanctions-related ones, are fulfilled”. Iran and the other countries in the talks — China, France, Russia, Britain, the United States and Germany — reached a tentative deal on April 2 and now aim to finalise the details by self-imposed end-June deadline.

Headline:   Taliban announce plans to ramp up attacks in Afghanistan

The Afghan Taliban on Wednesday announced the start of its annual spring offensive, warning it would ramp up attacks on foreign embassies and government officials, as well as military targets, starting on Friday. The Islamist militant group has been fighting the Afghan government and its foreign backers since it was ousted from power by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001. “If the foreign occupiers really want to relieve themselves from this nuisance of fighting, they should immediately withdraw,” the Taliban said in a statement. The Taliban typically steps up its military efforts when warmer weather facilitates the transit of fighters and weapons. This year’s offensive has been dubbed “Azm” or “Resolution”, similar to the name chosen for the NATO-led coalition’s two year “Resolute Support” mission that started in January.

Headline:  Three people killed in eastern Afghanistan

Three people, including a senior security official, were killed as two bomb blasts rocked Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province, officials say. A senior provincial intelligence official, named Ghulam Haidar Haidari, was killed after his vehicle ran over a roadside bomb planted in Behsud district, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesperson for the provincial government, on Wednesday. “A roadside bomb organized by terrorists struck the vehicle of Ghulam Haidar Haidari, killing him along with his driver,” Abdulzai told Xinhua news agency. Another blast targeted the vehicle of a logistic official of the Afghan Local Police (ALP), identified as Khan Wali, killing him on the spot and injuring two others, Abdulzai said.

Headline:   Ethiopia: Police fire tear gas on protesters after Isis beheadings in Libya

Over 100,000 Ethiopians have held a demonstration to condemn the recent execution of some 30 of their fellow countrymen in Libya by the Takfiri ISIL militants. Protesters took to the streets of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to attend Wednesday’s government-sponsored march, demanding revenge for the blood of the Ethiopian victims. A 29-minute video purportedly made by ISIL and posted on social media sites on April 19 appeared to show the ISIL terrorists beheading a group of around 12 Ethiopian Christian men on a beach and shooting at least 16 others in a desert area in Libya. The victims are said to have been captured in the North African country while trying to reach Europe. The march at some point turned violent as police clashed with stone-throwing protesters and arrested at least 100 protesters consequently.

Headline:   Rival pro-government troops clash in South Sudan’s Malakal

Rival pro-government troops in South Sudan have clashed in the war-ravaged country’s northeastern city of Malakal. The South Sudanese army said on Wednesday that during the latest fighting in the capital of the oil-producing Upper Nile State, forces loyal to the state governor clashed with troops of General Johnson Olony, an ex-rebel who commands Shilluk, a pro-government ethnic militia. According to military spokesman, Philip Aguer, the fighting erupted late on Tuesday and intensified on Wednesday morning. Aid workers and residents of the city also reported powerful blasts and “gunfire from all sides.” Shooting purportedly decreased later in the afternoon. Olony was ordered to report to army headquarters in March following the UN reports that accused him of kidnapping a large number of child soldiers. Malakal has already seen huge damage after repeatedly changing hands between rebels and the government.

Headline: Somali militants kill at least 10 in restaurant car bomb attack

A suicide bomber from the Somali militant group Al-Shabab Tuesday rammed a car laden with explosives into a busy restaurant in the capital Mogadishu, killing at least 10 people and wounding more than a dozen others. The lunch-hour explosion also wrecked a tea shop next door and set fire to nearby petrol drums, sending a huge plume of smoke above the Indian Ocean port city. The car bombing took place a day after after an Al-Shabab suicide bomber killed six people, including four United Nations staff, during an attack on a U.N. minivan in Garowe, a city about 1,000 km northeast of Mogadishu. “We are behind the attack,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, Al-Shabab’s military operations spokesman, told Reuters. Musab said it was targeting officials from government ministries and the presidential palace who eat at the restaurant. “A policeman opened fire to stop the car bomb but it was all in vain. The policeman died and the car bomb rammed into the gate in the busy restaurant,” Major Farah Hussein, a police officer at the scene of the attack, told Reuters. A second police officer, Colonel Osman Ibrahim, said 15 people were wounded in what he called a suicide bombing. “These are mostly civilians who were having lunch at the restaurant,” Ibrahim said.

Headline: Militant ambush kills two soldiers in northeast Nigeria

Nigerian forces backed by warplanes invaded Islamist group Boko Haram’s last known stronghold, the Sambisa forest, on Wednesday, in an effort to finally defeat their six-year-old insurgency, two military sources said. Armies from Nigeria and neighbours Chad, Niger and Cameroon have in the past two months launched a concerted push to try to crush the insurgents, who have killed thousands and kidnapped hundreds in their battle to establish an Islamic state. The Sambisa forest in northeast Nigeria is about 100 km (60 miles) from the village of Chibok from where Boko Haram abducted more than 200 secondary school girls a year ago. Intelligence officials had believed that this was where they were being held, although U.S. reconnaissance drones failed to find them. A spokesman for the military was not immediately available for comment. An official in the Chadian army said allied Chadian and Cameroonian troops were ready to attack Sambisa, which lies on the Cameroon border, from the other side and would move in soon.

Headline:  Greek bank shares slide to record low as ECB considers pulling the plug

Shares in Greece’s stricken banks fell to an all-time low on Tuesday amid fears the European Central Bank was planning to finally pull the plug on the country’s lenders. Banks stocks fell by 4pc on the news that ECB staff had drawn up a memo which proposed limiting the emergency assistance (ELA) that has been keeping lenders alive since the Syriza-led government entered office at the end of January. Tuesday’s trading helped cap off a torrid run which has seen more than 50pc wiped off the value of Greece’s lenders since the start of the year. Central bank president Mario Draghi has insisted Greek banks will continue to receive ELA. However, other members of the Governing Council have suggested the liquidity assistance should not continue after the summer. Any decision to remove the life-support would require a two-thirds majority among the bank’s governing board. Should the ECB pull the plug, Greek banks will go bust in a matter of months, said rating’s agency Standard & Poor’s.

April 21, 2015 – 5.3 MILLION hens to be killed due to avian flu in Iowa, America

About 5.3 million laying hens in northwest Iowa will be destroyed after tests confirmed a second outbreak of avian influenza in the state, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday. It’s the largest operation in the nation to be hit with the virus since December, federal documents show. The commercial egg-laying facility, located in Osceola County, Iowa, more than doubles the number of birds destroyed in the country because of the disease. “It’s one of the bigger farms in the state,” said Bill Northey, Iowa’s secretary of agriculture. “But when there’s an outbreak like this, you have to make sure the disease doesn’t leave.” Because of avian influenza, the state’s $2 billion commercial egg-laying industry has been on high alert this spring. Iowa, the nation’s largest egg producer, has about 50 million hens and supplies nearly 1 in every 5 eggs consumed in the United States.

Headline:  PayPal wants to implant passwords in your stomach and your brain

PayPal is working on a new generation of embeddable, injectable and ingestible devices that could replace passwords as a means of identification. Jonathan LeBlanc, PayPal’s global head of developer evangelism, claims that these devices could include brain implants, wafer-thin silicon chips that can be embedded into the skin, and ingestible devices with batteries that are powered by stomach acid. These devices would allow “natural body identification,” by monitoring internal body functions like heartbeat, glucose levels and vein recognition, Mr LeBlanc told the Wall Street Journal. Over time they would come to replace passwords and even more advanced methods of identification, like fingerprint scanning and location verification, which he says are not always reliable. “As long as passwords remain the standard methods for identifying your users on the web, people will still continue to use ‘letmein’ or ‘password123’ for their secure login, and will continue to be shocked when their accounts become compromised,” said Mr LeBlanc.

Headline:   Israel Denounces Moscow’s Decision to Lift Iran Missile Ban

Israel on Monday denounced Russia’s decision to lift a ban on supplying Iran with sophisticated S-300 air defense missile systems as proof of Tehran’s newfound “legitimacy” following nuclear talks. “At a time when Iran denies clause after clause of the agreement declared last week, the international community has already begun easing its sanctions,” Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said in a statement. “This is a direct result of the legitimacy that Iran is receiving from the nuclear deal that is being prepared, and proof that the Iranian economic growth which follows the lifting of sanctions will be exploited for arming itself and not for the welfare of the Iranian people.” “Instead of demanding that Iran desist from the terrorist activity that it is carrying out in the Middle East and throughout the world, it is being allowed to arm itself with advanced weapons that will only increase its aggression,” he added.

Israeli officials revealed Monday that the Islamic Republic had stepped up its support for Lebanese Shiite terror group Hezbollah over the past few weeks. According to a Channel 2 report Monday, Israel observed an increase in Iran weapons shipments to Hezbollah members on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights. Iran had also sent weaponry to Hamas rulers in Gaza and was even attempting to arm Hamas members in the West Bank, the report said. The report said Israel was alarmed that the sanctions relief Iran would enjoy if it reaches a deal on its nuclear program would free up “billions of dollars” for further such weapons shipments, and for Iranian support for terrorism, the TV report quoted the Israeli officials saying. It said the officials added that it was “hard to see” how the deal, so firmly backed by the US, could help the interests of Israel and other US allies.

Headline:    Hezbollah accuses Saudi Arabia of ‘genocide’ in Yemen

The deputy chief of the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah lashed out at Saudi Arabia on Monday, accusing the kingdom of committing “genocide” with its airstrikes campaign that has been targeting Yemen’s Shiite rebels for over two weeks. In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Sheikh Naim Kassem said Saudi Arabia made a “strategic mistake” by interfering in Yemen’s internal affairs and warned that the kingdom will “pay a heavy price” for the campaign. “Saudi Arabia has embroiled itself and will incur very serious losses that have started to show and will increasingly reflect on its status, its internal situation and its role in the region,” Kassem said. “What happened in Yemen is a crime that cannot be ignored … Saudi Arabia is committing genocide in Yemen, we cannot be silent after that.” Kassem, who spoke in the Shiite group’s stronghold in southern Beirut, suggested that the situation inside Saudi Arabia could implode as a result of its “aggression” in Yemen. “What is happening in Yemen today will reflect on Saudi Arabia internally,” he said, adding that the predominantly Sunni kingdom has its own domestic problems and several “factors that may cause the internal situation to implode” there. “So it would be wiser for it not to interfere in Yemen’s affairs in a negative way, but rather in a positive way by calling for dialogue,” Kassem added.

Saudi Arabia said Saturday at least 500 Shiite insurgents have been killed in border clashes since the coalition it heads launched air strikes against the Huthi rebels in war-battered Yemen. A defence ministry statement in Riyadh also said three soldiers were killed in a mortar attack on the kingdom’s border with Yemen on Friday.

Earlier, coalition spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed al-Assiri told journalists at his daily briefing in Riyadh there had been 1,200 coalition air strikes between March 26 and midday Saturday. He said the raids had neutralised the air and ballistic capabilities of the rebels and their allies, and “will continue”.

Syria Headline:   Assad Army bombs school

A group monitoring the Syrian war said at least nine people including five children were killed in a Syrian army airstrike that hit a school in a rebel-held area of the country’s second city Aleppo on Sunday, though the army denied the report. A Syrian Army source told Reuters the army had stepped up attacks on rebels since the insurgents bombarded a government-held residential area in the northwestern city on Saturday. But he said the military had not targeted civilians. The dead included two women, it said. The Observatory circulated a video it said showed the aftermath of the attack. A man is shown holding what he says is the severed lower leg and foot of a child, and rescue workers were shown carrying away what appeared to be a body wrapped in a sheet. The Observatory said at least 32 people were killed in Aleppo on Saturday, 17 of them in the government-held district of Suleimaniyah bombarded by rebels, and 15 of them in an army air strike that later hit a market in a rebel-held area. The military source said the weaponry used in Saturday’s rebel bombardment had “a very great destructive capacity.” Army specialists were investigating, he said. “It might be the first time it was used.” “The army is targeting militants in Aleppo because … yesterday (Saturday) they committed a major crime against civilians in Suleimaniyah,” the source added. The Syrian National Coalition, a Turkey-based political opposition alliance, said the air trike on the market in the Maadi district of Aleppo on Saturday was a new massacre of civilians by President Bashar Assad.

Iraq Headline:  Iraqi forces launch counter-attack against ISIS in Anbar

Islamic State militants attacked the capital of Iraq’s vast Anbar province on multiple fronts on Friday, seizing two areas on the city outskirts in a setback for a government campaign to retake the desert terrain. The jihadists deployed vehicle and suicide bombs to tear through Iraqi government lines north of the city of Ramadi overnight before attacking on foot, said security officials and a hospital source. The head of Anbar’s provincial council, Sabah Karhout, called on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to send urgent military reinforcements and supplies to fighters, saying they were running low on ammunition. Abadi visited Anbar on Tuesday and declared the start of the operation to liberate the Sunni Muslim heartland, seeking to build on a victory over Islamic State last week in the city of Tikrit. But a police source in Ramadi said early on Friday the insurgents had taken half of the Albu Faraj area, and provincial council member Athal al-Fahdawi later said it had been overrun completely. Hundreds of families were fleeing Albu Faraj, just north of Ramadi, after Islamic State militants broke into the homes of policemen and soldiers in the area and killed 15 members of their families.

Iraq Headline:  Jihadists attack Iraq’s largest oil refinery

Islamic State militants on Saturday launched suicide attacks against the Baiji oil refinery, Iraq’s largest, a senior army officer said. “Today Daesh (an Arab acronym for IS) launched an attack against the Baiji oil refinery,” said a major general from Salaheddin province, in which Baiji is located. He described the attack on the refinery, which lies around 200 kilometres (120 miles) north of Baghdad, as “the fiercest since we broke the siege a few months ago.” The officer and other military sources said the attack was launched around 7:00 am (0400 GMT) and led to clashes. He said IS militants attacked the large complex from three fronts: Al-Bujwari village to the south, the housing compound for refinery employees to the west and one of the smaller plants producing derivatives to the east. “Three suicide attackers were able to reach the entrances of the refinery. Two were killed but one managed to blow himself up,” the army officer said. He said that the Iraqi forces protecting the refinery regained control of the entrances and that the entire site was now under government control.

Iraq Headline:  Bombings kill 12 people in Iraq

Authorities in Iraq say a series of bombings targeting public places in the capital, Baghdad, have killed 12 people. Police officials say a bomb exploded on a commercial street in downtown Baghdad, killing four people and wounding nine others. Earlier, two bomb blasts near an outdoor market killed five people and wounded 10 others in the western suburbs of the capital. Another bomb exploded on a commercial street in Baghdad’s district of Amil, killing three people and wounding 11 others. Medics in nearby hospitals confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Headline:   Islamic State group destroys ancient ruins of Nimrud

Islamic State militants hammered, bulldozed and ultimately blew up parts of the ancient Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud, destroying a site dating back to the 13th century B.C., an online militant video purportedly shows. The destruction at Nimrud, located near the militant-held city of Mosul, came amid other attacks on antiquity carried out by the group now holding a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria in its self-declared caliphate. The attacks have horrified archaeologists and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who last month called the destruction at Nimrud “a war crime.” The seven-minute video, posted late Saturday, shows bearded militants using sledgehammers, jackhammers and saws to take down huge alabaster reliefs depicting Assyrian kings and deities. A bulldozer brings down walls, while militants fill barrels with explosives and later destroy three separate areas of the site in massive explosions. “God has honored us in the Islamic State to remove all of these idols and statutes worshipped instead of Allah in the past days,” one militant says in the video. Another militant vows that “whenever we seize a piece of land, we will remove signs of idolatry and spread monotheism.”

Headline:   Islamic State issues IDs to facilitate militants’ movement

After dazzling the entire world with its semi-Hollywood team filming barbaric operations, the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS) surprised observers with the issuance of identity cards with three-dimensional chip and electronic SIMs to prevent fraud. The IS newly issued Identity cards, of which ARA News received a photo, are prepared specifically for the group’s local and foreign members, according to an IS militant statement to ARA News. The source pointed out that the IDs are designed to facilitate passage for local and foreign members between Mosul (in Iraq) and Raqqa (in Syria) and other areas under the control of the radical group. “This step is to raise the insurgents’ morale, especially following the losses in several areas and amid intensified U.S.-led international coalition airstrikes against cities and towns held by the group in both Syria and Iraq,” a civil rights activist told ARA News in Mosul on the condition of anonymity. “This could suggest to the group’s members that their leadership is still strong and heading towards the institutionalization of the state through the issuance of such ID cards,” he added. “They want to convince their militants that they’re capable of overcoming the current challenges.”

Russia  

Headline:  Russia lifts ban on S-300 missile system delivery to Iran

Russia has lifted a ban on supplying Iran with a sophisticated air defence missile system, the Kremlin has said. Delivery of the S-300s was cancelled in 2010 after the UN imposed sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme. But the Russian president gave the go-ahead after Tehran struck an interim deal with world powers to curb nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The US and Israel have criticised the news. The $800m (£545m) contract to deliver the system was heavily criticised at the time by Israel and the US, who feared it could be used to protect Iranian nuclear sites from air strikes. When it was cancelled, Iran filed a lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a statement that the sale was put on hold “entirely voluntarily” to aid the talks on Iran’s nuclear programme.

Headline: Nordic pact heightens tension with Russia

The Kremlin has complained that a new Nordic defence pact is “directed against Russia” and amounts to a “confrontational approach” on the Ukraine crisis. The Russian foreign ministry issued the statement on its website on Sunday (12 April). It said “Nordic defence co-operation … has begun to be directed against Russia in a way that could undermine the positive engagement accumulated over the past decade”. It voiced “concern” that Finland and Sweden, which are not Nato members, are showing “increasingly strong convergence” with the alliance. It also said that “instead of an open and constructive dialogue” on issues such as the Ukraine conflict, “the principles of confrontation are being foisted on the public opinion of the Nordic countries”. The defence ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden unveiled the agreement in an op-ed in Norwegian daily Aftenposten last Thursday.

Afghanistan

Headline:   Taliban attack kills 18 Afghan soldiers; some beheaded

Headline: UN: Afghan war causes record number of civilian casualties

Taliban fighters swarmed over Afghan army posts in the country’s northeast, killing at least 18 soldiers and beheading some in a major attack to mark the start of the country’s summer fighting season, authorities said Monday. The assault marks a grim first summer battle for Afghan forces, now fighting largely alone after the U.S. and NATO ended their combat mission in the country at the start of this year. The attack in Badakhshan’s Jurm district happened Friday, though officials only offered details about it days later as they pledged to investigate the apparent rout. Some 250 Taliban fighters overran the posts, said Gul Mohammad Bidar, the province’s deputy governor. Ahmad Nawid Froutan, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said the attack killed 18 soldiers, with eight of their bodies beheaded. He said Afghan troops killed 19 Taliban fighters, eight of them foreigners, and that the insurgents fled after reinforcements arrived to the area. The Defense Ministry said earlier Monday that the attack caused 30 soldiers to be “killed, wounded or become missing.” The ministry said it was conducting an investigation into the attack, which it said came from unspecified “neglect” by an army officer there. It said the fighters looted military equipment and set fire to vehicles it couldn’t take. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and said they killed 49 soldiers.

Libya

Headline:  Islamic State claims attacks on two embassies in Libya

Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for two bomb attacks on embassies in Libya in the latest strikes against foreigners, embassies or oilfields in the country. A bomb exploded at the gate of the Moroccan embassy in the Libyan capital of Tripoli early on Monday, causing some damage but hurting nobody, a security official said, only hours after gunmen attacked South Korea’s mission in the city. Militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State said on Twitter that they were responsible for both attacks. It was not possible to verify the authenticity of the claims. Isis has exploited chaos in the north African country where two governments allied to a host of armed groups fight for control four years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi. The group also claimed two bomb attacks in the Sinai region of Egypt on Sunday which killed 14 people, including 11 security personnel. The attack on the Moroccan embassy in Tripoli damaged the gate and a residential building next to the mission in the upmarket Ben Ashour district, a security official and Reuters reporter at the scene said. Nobody was hurt. On Sunday, gunmen fired shots at the South Korean embassy in Tripoli killing two local security guards and wounding a third person, South Korean and Libyan officials said.

Turkey

Headline:   Turkish army says five Kurdish rebels killed in clashes

Five rebels from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were killed and four Turkish soldiers wounded in a day of clashes Saturday, the army said, in a blow to a fragile peace process to end a decades-long insurgency. The army said Turkish troops had been dispatched to the district of Diaydin in the Agri region of southeast Turkey after receiving intelligence of a planned “festival” to promote the “separatist terror organisation”. This is official shorthand for the PKK, banned as a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and EU and whose actual name is never used by the authorities. After being fired on, the army said it sent armed helicopters, reconnaissance jets and a commando unit to the region to battle more than two dozen militants. In a statement on its website, the army confirmed that four Turkish soldiers had been wounded in the clashes. “On the other side, five terrorists were killed and one wounded was captured,” it said. The army said that three of the Turkish soldiers were not severely wounded and their lives were not in danger but the fourth had undergone an operation in hospital. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the PKK of seeking “to dynamite the peace in our country and undermine the peace process”, in a televised speech in the western city of Sakarya on the Black Sea.

Headline: Hundreds of thousands rally against corruption in Brazil

Hundreds of thousands of people have joined peaceful demonstrations across Brazil against government corruption. Crowds were generally smaller than in March when more than 1.5 million people turned out. They allege involvement of the governing Worker’s Party in bribery at the state oil firm Petrobas. President Dilma Rousseff denies involvement and has been exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general. The political opposition say much of the alleged bribery of politicians took place when Ms Rousseff was head of the oil company. Despite her exoneration, many protestors still believe that the president must have known about the scandal. Some have been calling for her impeachment.

Police in Guinea have shot and injured anti-government protesters during violent clashes in the capital, Conakry, medical and opposition sources say. The riot started in the morning on Monday in several suburbs of the capital including Simbaya and Hamadallaye. “There were violent clashes between young protesters and police in Hamadallaye, where security forces shot three young protesters,” a hospital physician said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The gunfire resumed after the injured were taken to hospital as youths protested in the streets. Four other protesters were reportedly wounded in Simbaya, a northeastern suburb of the capital. President Alpha Conde is blamed by opposition leaders for lack of security in the country. They have called for demonstrations in all parts of Conakry.

Headline: Time running out on Greek debt talks, says top EU official

Greece is not moving fast enough to draw up and implement structural reforms and there is limited time to prevent it running out of cash, European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Monday. The mood between Greece’s newly elected leftist government and its euro zone partners has been tense during negotiations that will determine whether the cash-strapped country gets further, much-needed financial aid from its EU/IMF lenders. “Talks are very complicated. Time is running out,” Dombrovskis told Reuters in an interview. “Greece should come up with an ambitious reform list in line with its bailout program and also start to implement it,” he said. A meeting of deputy finance ministers — called the Euro Working Group — on Thursday gave Athens a deadline of six working days to present a revised economic reform plan, before euro zone finance ministers meet on April 24 to decide whether to unlock emergency funding to keep Greece afloat. Dombrovskis noted that April 24 was not a formal deadline to reach a deal with Greece, but the country’s financial difficulties were pressing.

Headline:   Indiana HIV outbreak tops 100 cases: state health officials

An HIV outbreak in southeastern Indiana related to intravenous prescription drug abuse has reached 106 confirmed and preliminary cases, state public health officials said on Friday. As of Thursday there were 95 confirmed HIV cases and 11 preliminary cases from the outbreak in rural Scott County, some 30 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky, a state joint information center said. Scott County has been the center of the outbreak, the biggest in the state’s history. A short-term state-authorized needle exchange program began on Saturday in Scott County to combat the outbreak. The program authorized by Governor Mike Pence expires on April 25, but may be extended if necessary. Needle exchange programs provide drug users with sterile needles to try to prevent infections from spreading through the sharing of contaminated needles.

Headline:   ‘Blessed Be, Aho, and Amen,’ Wiccan Priestess Delivers Prayer for Iowa House

“Blessed Be, Aho, and Amen,” aren’t the words members of the Iowa House of Representatives are accustomed to hear at the closing of the invocation marking the House’s opening ceremonies, but that’s just what happened yesterday when a Wiccan priestess delivered the prayer. “We call this morning to God, Goddess, Universe, that which is greater than ourselves to be here with us today,” said Deborah Maynard, who delivered the first prayer by a Wiccan in the assembly. “By the Earth that is in our bones and centers us, may all here remember our roots and those whom we are here to represent….. We call this morning to Spirit, which is ever present, to help us respect the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. Be with this legislative body and guide them to seek justice, equity and compassion in the work that is before them today.” A number of Christian lawmakers didn’t attend the opening ceremony to protest the priestess’ historic invocation. Others, like State Rep. Rob Taylor (R-Iowa), turned their backs during the priestess’ prayer. Taylor said he asked himself “What would Jesus do?” and decided Jesus would “be in the presence of a prayer, but peacefully protest.” He added that “everyone has the right to come into our chamber – it is the people’s chamber – and pray and she did and this was the way for me to peacefully protest.”

A large sunspot group emerged over the weekend and it is turning toward Earth. Karzaman Ahmad of the Langkawi National Observatory in Malaysia photographed “AR2321” during the early hours of Monday, April 13^th. Sprawling more than 120,000 km from end to end, the sunspot group has several dark cores as large as Earth. These dimensions make AR2321 an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. If you have one, take a look. Of greater interest is the region’s potential for flares. AR2321 has an unstable “beta-gamma-delta” magnetic field that harbors energy for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-class flares and a 20% chance of X-flares on April 13th.
