Chavez warns of military action if Honduras envoy harmed
Caracas (AFP) June 28, 2009Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened military action if his ambassador or embassy in Honduras is harmed, following the Honduran army's ouster of President Manuel Zelaya on Sunday. The "military junta" in Honduras "would be entering a de facto state of war" should they harm his ambassador in Tegucigalpa, the firebrand leftist leader warned Sunday. Ambassador Armando Laguna had been ... more Capture of 'spies' hits Israel 
Beirut, Lebanon (UPI) Jun 25, 2009 The roundup of around 40 alleged Israeli agents in Lebanon in recent weeks has in all probability been a serious blow for Israeli intelligence at a time when its longtime adversary, Hezbollah, is bracing for another onslaught by the Jewish state. Both sides are nervous -- Israel because valuable eyes and ears inside Lebanon have been lost, Hezbollah because the existence of these cells ... more NATO endorses drawdown of Kosovo force 
Brussels (AFP) June 11, 2009NATO defence ministers on Thursday endorsed a plan for thousands of peacekeepers to leave Kosovo if security conditions can be assured, a decade after the air war against Serbia. The plan, NATO diplomats say, would see the KFOR mission cut to 10,000 troops from the current 13,800 by January, and fall to some 2,500 personnel over two years if a series of benchmarks are met. "Ministers ... more Commentary: Pie in the Muslim sky 
Washington (UPI) Jun 5, 2009 After all was said and done, more was said than done. It was a fabulous speech, beautifully crafted, but it did not represent a sea change in the quest for a two-state solution to the perennial Palestinian problem. Freezing Jewish settlements in the West Bank is not the issue. Soaring rhetoric could not mask President Obama's modest strategic agenda. The paltry plight of Palestinian refugees ... more |

Washington (UPI) Jun 2, 2009 Rarely have elections in a small country carried such high importance or raised such interest so far beyond its borders as have the Lebanese parliamentary elections that will be held next June 7. "The stakes are high in the (Lebanese) elections," Les Campbell, a senior associate and regional director for the Middle East and North Africa with the National Democratic Institute, said Monda ... more Georgia hails 'successful' NATO war games 
Tbilisi (AFP) June 1, 2009Controversial NATO military exercises in ex-Soviet republic Georgia ended Monday with Tbilisi hailing the drills as a success despite internal unrest and fury on the part of Russia. "Despite the tense internal political situation, Georgia has managed to very successfully fulfil its obligations within the framework of partnership with NATO," Deputy Prime Minister Giorgi Baramidze said in tele ... more Walker's World: Obama in Cairo 
Washington (UPI) Jun 1, 2009 U.S. President Barack Obama this week goes to Cairo University to deliver his long-promised address to the Islamic world, and there are a number of oddities about his choice. The first is that he has already made the speech, in Istanbul in March, when he promised to engage Islam on terms of "mutual respect." The second is that he has not chosen the real seat of modern Islam, which is to ... more |
