Not your average drone: new technology the US military is developing Posted: 06 Dec 2013 03:12 PM PST High above the skies of Area 51, the secret US military testing ground in the Nevada desert, the Air Force is readying a new generation of spy drones. Dubbed the RQ-180, this drone is designed to penetrate "deep into heavily defended airspace," according to Aviation Week, which details the project in a cover story released Friday. Yet they acknowledge, too, that it's actually not too hard to shoot down America's current crop of go-to drones, like the Predator and the Reaper, since they don't have any stealth technology. "In contested airspace – a more plausible scenario for future conflicts – today's UAS [unmanned aerial systems] would be extremely vulnerable," said Gen. Roger Brady, at the time the outgoing commander of US Air Forces in Europe, at a UAS conference in 2010. |

Italian court sentences abducted Egyptian to 6 years: sources Posted: 06 Dec 2013 03:01 AM PST An Italian court sentenced the radical Egyptian Muslim cleric Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr in absentia on Friday to six years in prison for international terrorism, legal sources said. The cleric, also known as Abu Omar, was abducted and secretly flown to Egypt for interrogation under the U.S. "extraordinary rendition" programme in 2003. Nasr's abduction led to the first trial of its kind against the "renditions" practised by the administration of former U.S. president George W. Bush, which have been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements. |
