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.

Creeping Sharia takes over Arab Uprising
Published on Oct 25, 2011 by Euronews
The new Libya is considering how it will live by Islamic Sharia law, which includes some traditional practices which some countries consider inhumane.
Many Westerners were among those horrified when this vision was voiced just days ago amid celebrations over the death of Colonel Gaddafi.
It was by no means the first time such a prospect was raised, when the chairman of the Libyan National Transitional Council, said: “We as a Muslim nation take Sharia as the basic source of law.”
Liberal West seems certainly at a loss to understand the impact and ramifications. Lets listen to this talkinghead.

More democracy is bringing more political Islam in the countries of the Arab Spring.
The strong showing of Tunisia’s moderate Islamists in Sunday’s election and a promise by Libyan National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil to uphold Sharia have highlighted the bigger role Islamists will play after the fall of the autocrats who opposed them.

Muammar Gaddafi: Obituary
From: AlJazeeraEnglish | Oct 20, 2011 | 303 views
A senior National Transitional Council official has said that deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has died of his wounds after being captured near his hometown of Sirte.
Muammar Gaddafi came to power in 1969 in a coup at the age of 27 and went on to rule Libya for 42 years with an iron fist.
He has left Libya in tatters and despite the vast oil wealth, a vast majority of Libyans still live on about $2 a day and 40 per cent remain unemployed.
Gaddafi wanted to be the leader of the Arab world and modeled himself on Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser.
He published the Green Book which established rule of the people but in reality he exercised absolute power.
The former Libyan leader was accused of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 in Scotland, a charge he always denied. After this Libya remained under internatinal isolation for years.
When the uprising gathered momentum earlier this year he blamed everyone, from US to al-Qaeda, and called the protesters rats and cats of Libya.
Many will remember Gaddafi as the leader who set Libya back by many years.

Gaddafi loyalists holding out in Sirte
From: AlJazeeraEnglish | Oct 20, 2011 | 301 views
Loyalists of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have been holding out in Sirte, the last city to be fully liberated.
Sirte benefitted greatly from Libya’s wealth, but the hometown of Gaddafi now symbolises the divide in the country.
Heavy shelling and gun battle have ravaged the city. And residents have borne the brunt of the conflict, helplessly witnessing their city having been looted and burned down.
The new rulers may win this war but it has to be seen whether they will be able to win the hearts and minds of the people here.
Human Rights has become a tool in hands of Interventionism?
Published on Oct 14, 2011 by Euronews
The United Nations’ top human rights official has called for “collective international action” to protect Syria’s civilians, warning of civil war unless what she calls the government’s “ruthless repression” is curbed.
The UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, stopped short of specifically calling for the UN Security Council to authorise the use of force.
She said the death toll from the pro-democracy protests now exceeded 3,000
Aronite thinking is that-
One should note that this Mr.Pillai and the Human Rights lobby have successfully pushed UN to allow Intervention at Libya- and the results are far from flattering. The Nato which had initially been justified on grounds of stopping loss of civilian deaths, later took a partisan stand and turned the Intervention into an alliance with Libyan Rebels.
Human Rights objectives were then the first casualty as military objectives took priority and civilian lives were violated and wasted with impunity. The NATO too threw to winds its professed care for civilian lives – bombing civilian areas and enabling assaults by Rebels on civilian enclaves.
At this very moment a ruthless mop of enclaves of Resistance at Gaddafi home grounds is on, and no one has any monitoring mechanism or record of the civilian casualties and human Rights update.
Human Rights had become now a catchy and convenient tool for western intervention with its own sponsor nations’ economic and political objectives.
Behind this myopic need, the Pan Islamists are seeking a regime change- especially at Syria- after the success at Libya.
Ironically, in this pact with Pan- Islamism to which the Western Economic obsession is blind, Human lives and Rights seem to be the worst victim.
Together they have turned Libya into a nightmare that could have just begun- for after Gaddafi the heavily armed and faction ridden militias can hardly be expected to care more for Human Rights and even if the further civil war gets tackled- the Sharia Constitution is hardly a model of human liberties and gender rights.

Battles have broken out in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, between revolutionary fighters and supporters of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi. It is the first time the two sides have clashed there since Gaddafi was forced to leave. The trouble reportedly began when loyalists attempted to raise the old green flag – a symbol of Gaddafi’s regime. This led to a fierce gun battle in the Nasr District of the Abu Salim neighbourhood

http://www.euronews.net/ The United States issued a worldwide travel alert for its citizens on Wednesday after accusing Iran of plotting to kill Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Washington.
The US says two men, including an Iranian-born American, conspired to kill the Saudi Arabian envoy and carry out bomb attacks against Saudi and Israeli embassies.
The main suspect, 56-year-old Mansour Arbabsiar, appeared in a Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.
He allegedly has links to Iran’s secret services. Another Iran-based suspect remains at large.
Civilian suffering seems not to bother the Nato- as Libyan rebel offensive secures political objectives obsessively past its time.
