US officials have acknowledged that the military lost control of one of its stealth drones while it was flying a mission over western Afghanistan.
Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday that Iran’s armed forces had shot down the RQ-170, known as the Sentinel, and are now in possession of it.
US officials rejected that claim, saying there were no indications the plane was shot down. In either case, officials said this would be the first Sentinel lost by the US.

Published on Oct 5, 2011 by Euronews

The 400-year-old Chai Wattanaram temple is one of the places cut off in the ancient city of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Deputy Governor of Ayutthaya, Narong Onsaard, said: “The situation is very severe because in previous years we were able to handle it. But the situation now is worse than in the past. We didn’t expect the very strong currents that damaged the embankment. We’ve tried our best, because this is an ancient site as well as a world heritage site.”

Karzai seals strategic pact with India
From: AlJazeeraEnglish | Oct 4, 2011 | 551 views
The political leaders of Afghanistan and India have forged closer ties between their nations by signing a “strategic partnership” following talks in New Delhi.
The agreement, announced on Tuesday after Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s meeting with Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime minister, is the first such pact between Afghanistan and another country and aims to boost trade, security and cultural links between the countries.
Karzai, speaking at a press conference with Singh, stressed again that “terrorism and radicalism” were being used “as an instrument of policy against our citizens”.
Al Jazeera’s Prerna Suri reports from New Delhi, India.
Failure to stem Islamism has enabled Taliban to turn the tides and wear out the enemy- and the roll back would have far reaching consequences both to the regional security and the world.
The AP couldn’t help give the other side of story- that shows how Taliban has taken over the country quite effortlessly thanks to the Islamism and its visceral hate for the Kaffur.
But AP would like us believe somehow Americans and the regime did it all wrong.
At any rate the complete switch of masses under incessant Islamic radicalism that shows through every frame of blaring prayer calls from mosques, the lesson world fails and refuses to learn is about Islam and its effect on the believer masses.
The men who fall every day to the inexorable advance of a foe, put on harms’ way by Policy makers who have no understanding of the Ideology behind the enemy, and a world that is made to look through the lens of media people with little clue to what it is that they are combating before it hits home and engulfs the region.
Left unchecked the Ideology flourishes there winning the masses, obtains a sympathetic hearing weakening the resolve to stay and fight, and having secured the Base or the Al Qaeda, it seems it is working now to bring the battle into its enemy lands from there.
