Obama meets with advisers on Iraq, reaffirms support for Abadi: White House Posted: 19 May 2015 03:23 PM PDT President Barack Obama was briefed by his top national security advisers on Tuesday on the situation in Iraq and the strategy to counter Islamic State militants, the White House National Security Council said in a statement. Obama "reaffirmed the strong U.S. support" for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the White House said after the meeting, which involved 25 advisers including Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Ash Carter, and General Lloyd Austin of U.S. Central Command. There has been concern in the United States about the risk of sectarian strife in Ramadi, the capital of Sunni-majority Anbar province, because of the need to use Shi'ite militias to try to take back the city from Islamic State fighters. |
Algerian forces kill 22 Islamic State-tied militants: military Posted: 19 May 2015 02:51 PM PDT Algerian troops ambushed and killed at least 22 militants allied to Islamic State as they held a meeting east of the capital on Tuesday in one of country's largest military operations in recent years, the defense ministry and a security source said. Fighters allied with both al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Islamic State operate in Algeria, mostly in mountainous northern areas, but militant attacks have been rare since a 1990s war with Islamist insurgents. The state news agency APS, quoting a ministry statement, said the operation took place east of Algiers near Bouira, which was part of a region long a stronghold for militants during the war that left 200,000 people dead. |

Biggest threat to US homeland? 'More work to do' securing air travel Posted: 19 May 2015 11:03 AM PDT At a Monitor-hosted breakfast for reporters on Tuesday, Representative Schiff voiced skepticism about claims made by computer expert Chris Roberts. In a March interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Roberts allegedly said that he had tampered with an under-seat box on a plane and used it to gain access to in-flight systems and from there to the aircraft's avionics. "Obviously, we are looking into those allegations with a lot of sense of urgency," Schiff said. |

3 Ways to Connect With Fellow Veterans as an Online Student Posted: 19 May 2015 06:30 AM PDT Online education can be a popular option for veterans and members of the military. Virtual learning allows students to study from anywhere -- be it from a living room or military base -- and gives adults the flexibility they need to balance a hectic work, family and school schedule. Veterans and members of the military "need people who understand their situation and what they are going through," says Louis Martini, associate vice president of military and veteran education at Thomas Edison State College. |
Sweden asks Turkey for help finding Islamic State-bound nationals Posted: 19 May 2015 05:49 AM PDT Sweden has asked Turkey for help finding three Swedish nationals it believes are trying to join Islamic State militants in Syria despite twice being intercepted and deported from Turkey, senior Turkish officials said on Tuesday. The three - identified as Mohamed Qadar, Yasmin Said Ahmet and Abdelmoumenne Amin Ghezali - were first deported on May 5 after arriving at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport from Stockholm, one of the officials said. Turkey has deported 1,350 foreigners suspected of seeking to join radical groups in Syria and Iraq over the past few years, and has a list of some 13,500, drawn up with the help of foreign intelligence agencies, who are barred from entering the country. |

Trial of Iranian-American journalist to start in Tehran on May 26: ISNA Posted: 19 May 2015 03:50 AM PDT The trial of jailed Iranian-American journalist Jason Rezaian will begin on May 26 at a court in Tehran, a judicial spokesman told a semi-official news agency on Tuesday, without elaborating on the charges against him. The Washington Post journalist was arrested at his home in Tehran last July alongside his wife, journalist Yeganeh Salehi, and two Iranian-U.S. friends who have not been named. The Washington Post said in April that Rezaian had been charged with espionage for allegedly collecting confidential information about domestic and foreign policy and handing it to "hostile governments", citing his lawyer. |
