Top Asian News at 11:30 p.m. GMT Posted: 26 Aug 2014 04:32 PM PDT WASHINGTON (AP) — The intelligence gathered by U.S. military surveillance flights over Syria could support a broad bombing campaign against the Islamic State militant group, but current and former U.S. officials differ on whether air power would significantly degrade what some have called a "terrorist army." Further complicating the plans, any military action against Islamic State militants in Syria would also have the effect of putting the U.S. on the same side as Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose ouster the Obama administration has sought for years. |

US spy flights over Syria: Preparing for airstrikes on the Islamic State? Posted: 26 Aug 2014 03:29 PM PDT The US military has begun flying surveillance missions over Syria, officials confirmed this week, after being given the green light by President Obama. While being careful not to comment on potential airstrikes, senior military officials have been increasingly vocal about the need to treat the Islamic State as a regional threat, which could involve US military action in Syria. "Can they [IS] be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria?" Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last week. Instead, the Islamic militant group, which is now functioning as a state in a large swath of Syria and Iraq, "will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border," Gen. Dempsey said. |

Obama says 'justice will be done' for Islamic State killers Posted: 26 Aug 2014 03:07 PM PDT By Mark Felsenthal and Phil Stewart CHARLOTTE N.C./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama vowed "justice will be done" against the Islamic State killers of American journalist James Foley on Tuesday as the United States sought to identify targets for potential airstrikes in Syria. Obama's tough talk followed his decision to approve U.S. Justice will be done," Obama told veterans gathered at a convention of the American Legion in Charlotte, North Carolina. |

Can US defeat Islamic State without help from Assad? Posted: 26 Aug 2014 03:01 PM PDT After a flurry of speculation recently that President Obama might overcome his distaste for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to go after Islamic State militants in their base inside Syria, the White House is speaking out: There will be no cooperation with the Assad regime. While it will be possible for the US to degrade IS inside Syria without coordinating with Mr. Assad, they say, reaching more long-term objectives like defeating or even containing the group will probably mean giving up on the goal of seeing Assad step down from power. "I don't think it would be by any means difficult for us to carry out airstrikes [inside Syria] without a permissive environment" of cooperation from the Assad regime, says Michael Desch, an expert on international security and US defense policy at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. |

Top Asian News at 9:30 p.m. GMT Posted: 26 Aug 2014 02:32 PM PDT KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. has begun surveillance flights over Syria after President Barack Obama gave the OK, U.S. officials said, a move that could pave the way for airstrikes against Islamic State militant targets there.

Saudi holds eight suspected of inciting youths to fight abroad: SPA Posted: 26 Aug 2014 01:16 PM PDT Saudi security forces have detained eight citizens suspected of inciting young people to go to join militant groups abroad, state news agency SPA said on Tuesday, citing an Interior Ministry spokesman. Worried about potential threats from citizens who had traveled to join Islamist insurgents in Syria and Iraq, Saudi Arabia has banned them from fighting abroad, donating money to any faction or sympathizing with militant ideologies. The Interior Ministry spokesman said security forces arrested the eight during a raid on the town of Tumair, north of the capital Riyadh, following complaints from parents of the young men. Saudi courts have tried several groups of citizens on charges ranging from providing financial support to militants abroad to plotting attacks inside the kingdom. |

Collateral damage? U.S. destroys millions of dollars in U.S.-made arms in Iraq Posted: 26 Aug 2014 12:57 PM PDT By Missy Ryan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The grainy black-and-white footage shows a military vehicle, a small dark mass in the crosshairs of a U.S. The growing tally of U.S.-made, U.S.-destroyed weaponry is testament to how far Iraq has veered off the course the Obama administration expected when U.S. "It's incredibly discouraging." When Iraqi soldiers abandoned bases in large numbers ahead of Islamic State's advance across northern Iraq in June, they left behind guns and sophisticated fighting gear.

Arizona May Have Handed Over Its Counterterrorism Database To A Chinese Spy Posted: 26 Aug 2014 12:34 PM PDT A Chinese national hired at the Arizona Counterterrorism Information Center may have stolen data from the agency before abruptly flying back to China without notifying his superiors — a possible security breach the agency has been covering up since 2007. Lizhong Fan was hired as a facial recognition expert for the agency in 2007 until he left suddenly in June of the same year after erasing his work computers completely, destroying any record of his activities. As a current Chinese citizen Fan should have been disqualified during vetting for the position, but may have gained entry through other subversive means. Fan was contracted out to the center as an employee for Hummingbird Defense Systems, an Arizona-based firm contracted to build the center's facial recognition system. |

Is Hillary Clinton a 'war hawk,' as Rand Paul says? Posted: 26 Aug 2014 11:24 AM PDT Is Hillary Clinton a "war hawk"? The Kentucky senator made the reference while contrasting his less-interventionist approach to foreign policy to that of the former secretary of State. During a segment on NBC's "Meet the Press," Senator Paul accused Mrs. Clinton of fighting "her own war, Hillary's war," though he didn't specify which conflict that was, exactly. Then he said that if he were the GOP presidential nominee, he could attract a number of independents and even some Democrats worried that a gung-ho Clinton would involve the nation in another Middle Eastern conflict. |

U.N. rights forum to hold emergency session on Islamic State abuses Posted: 26 Aug 2014 10:54 AM PDT GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. Human Rights Council will hold an emergency session in Geneva on Monday on abuses being committed by Islamic State and other militant groups in Iraq, a U.N. statement said on Tuesday.
