Though al Qaeda remains largely on the run, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday, echoing remarks by President Obama last October, the United States does face an ongoing threat from the militant Islamic group and its affiliates, including an imminent plot against American diplomatic posts in the Middle East and other Muslim countries.Intelligence over the weekend picked up signs of the terrorist plot, prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two-dozen embassies and consulates. Carney said the threat seems to emanate from al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula - also known as AQAP - as well as target that region.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- North Korea barred Malaysians from exiting its borders and Malaysia followed suit Tuesday, turning ordinary citizens into pawns in the diplomatic battle surrounding the investigation into the bizarre death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Unrsquo half-brother.The tit-for-tat directives come as relations between the two countries disintegrate over the poisoning of Kim Jong Nam in a crowded airport terminal in Kuala Lumpur on Feb. 13.This is way out of normal diplomatic practice, Lalit Mansingh, a N yeezy slide ew Delhi-based scholar and longtime top Indian diplomat, said of North Korearsquo decision.

Russian forces are raising true hell in Ukraine s eastern industrial heartland, despite assessments they were taking an operational pause, a regional governor said Saturday, while another Ukrainian official urged people in Russian-occupied southern areas to evacuate adidas originals quickly by all possible means before a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Deadly Russian shelling was reported in Ukraine s east and south. The governor of the eastern Luhansk region, Serhyi Haidai, said Russia launched more than 20 artillery, mortar and rocket strikes on the region overnight and its forces were pressing toward the border with the Donetsk region. We are trying to contain the Russians armed formations along the entire front line, Haidai wrote on Telegram. Last week, Russia captured the last major stronghold o adidas originals f Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk, the city of Lysychansk. Analysts predicted Moscow s troops likely would take some time to rearm and regroup. But so far there has been no operational pause announced by the enemy. He is still attacking and shelling our lands with the same intensity as before, Haidai said. He later said the Russian bombardment of Luhansk was suspended because Ukrainian forces asics had destroyed ammunition depots and barracks used by the Russians.

The U.S. military said the man claiming to be the new al Qaeda in Ira stanley cup q leader is Abu Ayyub al-Masri, an Egyptian with ties to al Qaeda s No. 2 leader.Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, said al-Masri apparently is the same person as a man identified by the no stanley france m de guerre Abu Hamza al-Muhaje stanley flask r who has claimed to have succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and vowed to avenge him in threatening Web statements in recent days.The Afghanistan-trained Al-Masri, an explosives expert, was a key figure in the al Qaeda in Iraq network and was long responsible for facilitating the movement of foreign fighters from Syria into Baghdad, Caldwell said at a news conference.He has been a terrorist since 1982, beginning with his involvement in the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was led by Osama bin Laden s deputy Ayman al-Zawahri, Caldwell said.The spokesman added that raids in April and May in southern Baghdad recovered material that confirmed his high-level involvement in the facilitation of foreign fighters. Al-masri s intimate knowledge of al Qaeda in Iraq and his close relationship with al-Zarqawi s operations will undoubtedly help facilitate and enable them to regain some momentum if in fact he is the one that assumes the leadership role, Caldwell said.He said, however, that al-Masri s ability to exert leadership over al Qaeda cells remained unclear and there were other al Qaeda senior leadership members and Sunni terrorists who might try to take over

The mighty Danube apparently absorbed Hungary s massive red sludge spill with little immediate damage Friday but laboratory tests heightened concerns about possible longer-term harm caused by toxic heavy metals in the slurry.Government officials lowered their estimate of the size of Monday s catastrophic spill - but even those figures were mind-boggling. They said the reservoir break at an alumina plant dumped up to 700,000 cubic meters of sludge onto three villages - not much less in a few hours than the 200 million gallons the blown-out BP oil well gushed into the Gulf of Mexico over several months beginning in April.The disaster s confirmed de stanley cup ath toll rose from four to seven.

I m Barry Petersen, and this Letter from Asia comes from Tokyo. When Japan changes Prime Ministers, it usually is no big deal. After all, with rare exception, the same party has been in control since the 1950s. But not this time. The stanley mugs new man at the helm is evoking a rare sense of foreboding both in Japan and across the Asian region.Shinzo Abe is a series of contradictionshellip;the first prime minister born AFTER World War Two, and yet one of the most nationalistic prime ministers in decades. His grandfather served as prime minister after the war, a time when American occupiers imposed a pacifist constitution. Yet Abe is openly talking about renouncing the pacifist part of this document. I am going to put this firmly on the table for discussion, he said. No wonder he woke up on his first day as prime minister to see an editorial cartoon depicting him as a hawk.And many do not want change. Japanese lawyers sang at this concert to protest Abe and celebrate a country that renounced force and they want it to stay that way. The constitution was our promise and determination to repent what we had do stanley kubek ne and renounce war, says Takao Takahashi. I still believe that.

VERONA, Italy -- The Hungarian students had just finished a week of skiing in France when their bus swerved right, then left, then hit a highway barrier and burst into flames. Sixteen people were killed and over two dozen injured in a tragedy that sparked a national day of mourning in Hungary. The impact of the crash just before midnight Friday on the northern Italian highway was so violent that the overpass support column actually entered several rows into the bus, officials said Saturday. The ensuing fireball burned some of the 16 dead beyond recognition and torched the bus, leaving just a skeleton of twisted steel. A burning bus, which was carrying Hungarian students, is seen on a side of a highway, near Verona, northern Italy on Jan. 21, 2017.
