In Yemen’s Secret Prisons, UAE Tortures And US Interrogates

NOVANEWS By Maggie Michael Information Clearing House MUKALLA, Yemen (AP) — Hundreds of men swept up in the hunt for al-Qaida militants have disappeared into a secret network of prisons in southern Yemen where abuse is routine and torture extreme — including the “grill,” in which the victim is tied to a spit like a roast and spun in a circle of fire, an Associated Press investigation has found. Senior American defense officials acknowledged Wednesday that U.S. forces have been involved in interrogations of detainees in Yemen but denied any participation in or knowledge of human rights abuses. Interrogating detainees who have been abused could violate international law, which prohibits complicity in torture. The United Arab Emirates and Yemeni forces run a secret network of prisons w...

Facing defeat, US threatens to balkanise Syria

NOVANEWS By M K Bhadrakumar The acerbic remarks calling into question Syria’s future as a sovereign country by the CIA chief John Brennan at the Aspen Security Forum meet in Colorado on Saturday betray a very high level of US frustration over emergent ground realities. (Reuters ) The Syrian government forces, supported by Russian forces and Iranian and Hezbollah fighters have encircled the strategic northern city of Aleppo. The extremist groups supported by the US and its allies are trapped in the city. Meanwhile, Russia has announced the opening of ‘humanitarian corridors’ to facilitate civilians to leave the city and for terrorists to surrender. The Russian announcement makes the US look very foolish regionally for having been outwitted comprehensively. Secretary of State John Kerry t...

British ‘blackmailed’ the US into supporting 1953 Iran coup

NOVANEWS Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill Former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh steps off a plane in late August 1953. The British government “blackmailed” the US administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower into supporting the overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, a political commentator in Washington says. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill blackmailed the Eisenhower administration by threatening to pull out British forces from the Korean peninsula during the Korean War unless the US, through the CIA, supported the overthrow of Mosaddegh, said Jeff Steinberg, a senior editor at the Executive Intelligence Review. “So in a certain sense, the US was blackmailed into playing a role in wh...

UAE lists over 80 ‘terrorist’ groups

NOVANEWS The United Arab Emirates (UAE) formally endorsed the designation of 86 Islamist groups as "terrorist organizations," state news agency WAM reported on Saturday, in line with a recent federal law on combating terrorism. The list includes the Muslim Brotherhood and local affiliates, such as al-Islah reform group who is already banned in the UAE for its alleged link to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, as well as al-Qaeda-linked groups operating in different parts of the region and various Islamic think tanks and lobbying groups across the world. The Gulf Arab state has also designated Syria’s al-Qaeda branch al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group, whose militants are battling the Syrian army and recently the Lebanese army, as terrorist organ...

Syria Today ”4”: ‘US seeks to target Syrian govt.’

NOVANEWS Pentagon press secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby speaks during a briefing at the Pentagon. US and partner nations have begun air strikes in Syria against ISIL militants, using a mix of fighter jets, bombers and Tomahawk missiles fired from ships in the region. The extremists that Washington is supposedly hunting down now are the progeny of American covert war in Syria that the Syrian government has been battling against for the past three years. by Finian Cunningham The covert war on Syria has now finally exploded into the open, with US warplanes launching a blitzkrieg on the Arab country over night. Washington and its allies have now crossed a dangerous Rubicon, setting the stage for an all-out war on Syria under the guise of “defeating extremism.” The US guided-missile d...

Jeffrey Blankfort to Ali Abunimah

NOVANEWS I know you have great ambitions, Ali, but Abe Foxman does not plan to retire yet although you do give a very good imitation of him as grand inquisitor. Perhaps, he will hire you as the ADL's expert on "anti-Semitism" in the solidarity movement since at the moment you seem to be doing the job for free. After reading what you have written about Greta Berlin, one of the leading activists in the struggle for justice in Palestine and the Free Gaza Movement, in particular, you obviously did not learn any lesson from your earlier scurrilous denunciation of Gilad Atzmon. But who in hell (because we have to look everywhere for the source and that's the most obvious place to start) commissioned you to be the decider of who is and who isn't a part of this movement and the judge on high of ...

UAE Zionist Regime: State Terrorism – Online Activist Stripped of Citizenship – Sent into Exile

NOVANEWS Comoros Islands Government Agrees to Provide UAE Terror Victims ‘Exile’ Passports for $200 million Cash Deal by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor featuring Press TV Is the Ship of State Going Adrift? We have a common saying around here at VT, “You just can’t make this stuff up!” Every time we think a top shocker will never be broken along comes another one to prove us wrong. Autocratic governments being hostile toward reform is not a new story by any means. It’s the historical norm. But the UAE is a unique example. Despite the one man rule the economic transformation there has been incredible. This is a country where once a major cause of death was blood poisoning from untreated tooth abcesses, a result of high consumption of dates and poor oral hygiene. When the country’s budget was bei...

United Arab Emirates (UAE) lead Anti-Iran Alliance on Behalf of Washington and Tel Aviv

NOVANEWS By Kourosh Ziabari Global Research, www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=30584 The United Arab Emirates officials are burning with a low blue flame. They have once again started insulting the Iranian nation using an arrogant and offensive language. What has irritated them this time is the recent visit paid by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Iranian island of Abu Musain the Persian Gulf as part of his provincial trip to the southern province of Hormozgan on April 11. They claim that the island belongs to their soil and that Iran has violated their territorial integrity by continuing its "occupation" of the strategic island. Of course fueling anti-Iranian sentiments has been constantly on the UAE officials' political agenda. The states...
