Iran shows off new missile, taunts Israel
Tehran (AFP) Sept 22, 2007Iran on Saturday showed off a longer-range missile in public for the first time and proclaimed a string of anti-Israel slogans, in a military parade held amid warnings of conflict with the West. The missile -- labelled Ghadr-1 (Power) -- was said to be in development by Western experts, but its appearance at the annual military parade to mark the start of Iran's 1980-1988 war with Iraq was i ... more Analysis: Bhutto seeks U.S. hand 
Washington (UPI) Sep 21, 2007 When former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto arrives in Washington next week, she is likely to seek U.S. support for her attempt to regain power after more than a decade. Although she is coming to address a Washington think tank, she is also expected to meet senior U.S. officials to discuss the current political situation in her country. Since July 27, when she had a surpr ... more US, Israel shared intel before Syria raid: report 
Washington (AFP) Sept 21, 2007Israel warned the United States that North Korea might be sharing nuclear know-how with Damascus before it carried out an air strike deep inside Syria, the Washington Post reported Friday. Washington was "deeply troubled" by the Israeli intelligence showing North Korean nuclear personnel were in Syria, but US President George W. Bush decided against an immediate response out of concern it co ... more Britain has enough plutonium for 1000s of Nagasakis: report 
London (AFP) Sept 21, 2007Britain has stockpiled enough plutonium to replicate the nuclear bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 thousands of times over, the country's top science academy said Friday. The Royal Society said the amount of separated plutonium, most of which is the by-product of reprocessed spent fuel from nuclear power stations, has almost doubled in the last 10 years to more than 100 tonnes. But the emine ... more China hits back at hacking charges 
Beijing (AFP) Sept 22, 2007China is worse hit by computer hackers than any Western nation, a Chinese military expert was quoted as saying Saturday in an apparent response to claims it was the source of attacks on US systems. Unlike other countries, however, China does not point the finger of blame, Wang Xinjun, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, said in remarks carried by the Xinhua news agency.

Washington DC (SPX) Sep 24, 2007These days, a drive across a bridge is not always a pleasure cruise. Mindful of the war on terrorism, it can often be a cautious experience. In one scenario, someone sets off a series of bombs to weaken the cables and the key structural connections of a major city bridge, all during rush hour. Not easy to do, but now thinkable. This summer, the possibility of sabotage was quickly examined-then d ... more Recycling Wind Turbines 
Washington DC (SPX) Sep 24, 2007The development of wind power promises much in terms of providing us with renewable energy for the future and wind turbines could be the most effective way to harness that power. Danish researchers now suggest that in order to assess the overall environmental impact of wind power, however, the finite lifespan of wind turbines and the need to replace and recycle them must be taken into account. S ... more Radio Wave Cooling Offers New Twist On Laser Cooling 
Gaithersburg MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2007Visible and ultraviolet laser light has been used for years to cool trapped atoms-and more recently larger objects-by reducing the extent of their thermal motion. Now, applying a different form of radiation for a similar purpose, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used radio waves to dampen the motion of a miniature mechanical oscillator containing more ... more Analysis: Turkmenistan and trans-Caspian 
Washington (UPI) Sep 21, 2007 The death last December of Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov set off a renewed feeding frenzy among Western energy companies eager to exploit Turkmenistan's energy reserves. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said U.S.-Turkmen relations had turned a "new page" as the United States sent 15 delegations to Ashgabat to confer with new Turkmen President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov. T ... more Analysis: Energy security and unbundling 
Berlin (UPI) Sep 21, 2007 Will the European Commission's energy market reform plans improve or threaten energy security in Europe? The controversial legislation to open up the continent's gas and electricity market divides experts. The commission would say the new strategy, unveiled this week, improves continental energy security and also ensures fair competition and prices. It includes the plan to unbundle the ... more |

Washington (UPI) Sep 20, 2007 Even though the commission investigating the alleged indiscriminate shooting by Blackwater employees over the weekend has only just been stood up, some voices are already rushing to judgment, condemning the contractors as cold-blooded "mercenaries." All of this is entirely predictable, though not necessarily unwarranted. It goes to show that four years after private security contractors ... more Bush urges peaceful end to Iran nuclear crisis 
Washington (AFP) Sept 20, 2007US President George W. Bush said Thursday that he hoped Iran would buckle to mounting global pressure over its atomic program but warned he was "not going to tolerate" a nuclear-armed Tehran. In a wide-ranging press conference, Bush refused to comment on an Israeli raid inside Syria and declined to confirm reports that North Korea gave nuclear know-how to Damascus, while sternly warning Pyon ... more Iran shows off new jet fighter 
Tehran (AFP) Sept 20, 2007Iran unveiled on Thursday a new home-grown fighter jet amid growing tensions with the United States, saying the plane could "blind the eyes" of its enemies. State television showed pictures of two "Saegheh" (Thunder) fighters -- said by Iran to be similar to the American F-18 -- taking off in tandem and then landing for a ceremony at Tehran's Mehrabad airport. "This fighter plane has bee ... more Gates asks for outside probe into nuke transfer: Pentagon 
Washington (AFP) Sept 20, 2007US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked a former air force chief of staff to conduct an independent investigation into the unauthorized transfer of nuclear weapons aboard a B-52 bomber last month, his spokesman said Thursday. The assessment by retired general Larry Welch is in addition to an ongoing investigation that the air force is conducting with assistance from the Defense Departmen ... more Israel can beat any enemy: defence minister 
Jerusalem (AFP) Sept 20, 2007Israel does not want war but can beat any enemy anywhere, Defence Minister Ehud Barak warned on Thursday at a memorial ceremony for fallen paratroopers. "We do not want war but if we have to, we can win, whoever our enemy is or wherever they are," Barak told the service on the Tel Nof airbase, south of Israel's commercial capital Tel Aviv. "We can win in every situation, even when the so ... more
