Tehran (AFP) June 20, 2007Russia on Wednesday bluntly told the United States it saw no threat from Iran's ballistic missiles and was perplexed how Washington could use this to justify a planned US defence system in Europe. "We do not see any kind of threat from Iran," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters after a meeting in Tehran of foreign ministers from Caspian Sea states. "Thus, we do not ... more Lockheed Martin Shifts Into Production Phase Of Navy Narrowband Tactical Satellite

Tokyo (AFP) June 20, 2007The chief US negotiator on North Korea said Wednesday the nuclear disarmament process was back on track, with UN inspectors set to return after more than four years and talks likely to resume within weeks. North Korea had refused to implement a breakthrough February deal to shut its nuclear reactor due to a long-running feud over its assets frozen in the Chinese territory of Macau. With ... more Why The Surge Failed 
Washington (UPI) June 20, 2007Five months into Gen. David Petraeus' "surge" strategy to tame Baghdad, it seems farther away from succeeding than ever. Tuesday's suicide truck bomb that killed around 80 people at the Khalani Mosque in central Baghdad came only days after the minarets and tomb of the al-Askariya Shiite Mosque in Samara were devastated in an earlier attack. Despite new U.S. tactics to hunt down and kill ... more |

"The Stored Communications Act is very important," former federal prosecutor and counter-terrorism specialist Andrew McCarthy told United ... more Water Spray Latest Headache For Indonesian Mudflow Engineers 
Jakarta (AFP) June 20, 2007Indonesian experts scrambled Wednesday to deal with a massive water spray gushing from the ground near a "mud volcano" of toxic sludge on Indonesia's Java island. Ahmad Zulkarnain, the spokesman for the government team handling the disaster, said that the five-metre (16-feet) high spray began before dawn on Saturday through the floor of a restaurant in Jatirejo village, near the mudflow area. ... more The Recovery Of Europe Driven By Surging Economy 
Brussels (UPI) June 20, 2007As the leaders of the 27 countries that comprise the European Union prepare to gather in Brussels Thursday for what looks to be a very heated summit, their meeting will be marked by one distinctive feature. However angry the Poles get about voting rights and however stubborn the British prove over their national sovereignty, for once the EU leaders should take a brief pause to pat themselves on ... more Scientists Demonstrate High-Performing Room-Temperature Nanolaser 
Washington DC (SPX) Jun 21, 2007Scientists at Yokohama National University in Japan have built a highly efficient room-temperature nanometer-scale laser that produces stable, continuous streams of near-infrared laser light. The overall device has a width of several microns (millionths of a meter), while the part of the device that actually produces laser light has dimensions at the nanometer scale in all directions. The ... more Gas Prices Worry Americans More Than Terrorism Or Economy 
Philadelphia PA (SPX) Jun 21, 2007With fuel now averaging $3.00(1) per gallon nationwide, more American consumers declare themselves (highly) concerned about high gas prices (83%) than about terrorism (62%) or the economy as a whole (69%).

Le Bourget (AFP) France, June 19, 2007The European satellite launcher Arianespace on Tuesday said 2006 was a bumper year, leaving it with the biggest backlog of orders in an increasingly competitive industry. "In 2006, Arianespace successfully launched five Ariane 5 ECAs, placing 10 communications satellites and one technology experiment into geostationary transfer orbit," it said. As part of a cooperation program with Russia, ... more Funding Space Tracking and Surveillance Systems 
Arlington (UPI) June 19, 2007This is the week of the Paris Air Show, a glitzy excuse for aerospace executives and their government customers to network far from the prying eyes of politicians. Such contrived venues seldom produce any real news unless an airplane crashes. As one journalistic veteran of past shows puts it, "I've never worked so hard to get so little news." So don't expect any of this week's coverage from Le ... more US Says Banking Row Over Now Shut Down Reactor 
Tokyo (AFP) June 19, 2007US envoy Christopher Hill called Tuesday on North Korea to act quickly on its promises to shut a nuclear reactor, saying a long dispute over frozen funds was finally resolved. As Hill said that six-nation disarmament talks could resume in a matter of weeks, the South Korean military said the communist North had launched a short-range missile, the latest in a string of small-scale tests. ... more Northrop Grumman Delivers First Production Stellar Navigation System To US Air Force
