The Boston bombers, Tamerlan and Dzokhar Tsarnaev claim that they were radicalized in America.  However, the Hezbollah and Hamas presence in America can be found in two stations illegally broadcasting Hezbollah and Hamas television channels in the United States and potentially radicalizing other would-be terrorists within America’s borders.

The Lawfare Project has found that two television stations—NileSat IPTV in New Jersey and ArabTV4ALL in California—are broadcasting transmissions from pro-Hamas (al-Aqsa) and pro-Hezbollah (al-Manar) television stations. According to a memo prepared by the Lawfare Project, both al-Aqsa and al-Manar target children in their broadcasts and encourage them to become suicide bombers.

TEHRAN, Iran –  Iran launched a domestically built destroyer named, Jamaran (Jama means to “collect”) in the Caspian Sea on Sunday, its first deployment of a major warship in the oil-rich region, state TV reported. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the guided missile destroyer Jamaran-2 in the port city of Anzali, about 150 miles northwest of Tehran.

He said the deployment aimed to bolster peace and friendship in the region. “The destroyer is there to meet those who want to jeopardize the security of surrounding nations,” he said, without elaborating.

After final tests, the report said, Jamaran-2 will join Iran’s naval fleet in the sea in coming months.

The 1,400-ton destroyer, which has a helicopter landing pad, is 94 meters (yards) long and can cruise at 30 knots. It is equipped with surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles as well as anti-aircraft batteries and sophisticated radar and communications terminals, the report said.

Iran launched a previous version of the Jamaran destroyer in 2010 in the Persian Gulf.

Since 1992, Iran has been building a self-sufficient military, reportedly producing its own jet fighters, tanks, missiles and light submarines as well as torpedoes.

Both Israel and the United States have not ruled out military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. The West suspects Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies verbally.

MOSCOW — A meteor rocked Russians Friday morning over the Ural Mountain city of Chelyabinsk.  It sent out a shock wave that smashed windows, collapsed roofs and injured at least 1,200 people.

The Russian meteor was seen as far away as Nizhny Tagil, nearly 300 miles to the north. The trail of the meteor was also visible in Kazakhstan, more than 80 miles to the south.

AP reports “A suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive Friday in front of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, killing himself and a guard at the entrance gate, officials said.”

“U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a Turkish citizen was also wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital….The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance to the embassy, but did not damage the inside of the embassy itself. TV footage showed the embassy door blown off its hinges. The windows of nearby businesses were also shattered by the power of the blast, and debris littered the ground and across the road.”

In air raids on Syria overnight Tuesday, Israeli jets targeted several sites, including a biological weapons research center, which hadn’t previously been mentioned in the media, TIME magazine claimed Friday.

The center was “flattened out of concern that it might fall into the hands of Islamist extremists fighting to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad,” the report said, quoting Western intelligence officials.

Isaiah 41:5 says, “The coastlands saw it and feared, The ends of the earth were afraid; They drew near and came.”

On the heels of an Israeli airstrike against select military targets in Syria, a flotilla of 18 Russian warships to include 2,000 Marines, are steaming off Israeli and Syrian territorial waters in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Earlier this month, the Bahrain News Agency published a report confirming, via the Russian Defense Ministry’s press office, that not only are Russian Marines aboard the undisclosed number of Amphibious Assault ships, but also that Russian Airborne Forces are part of the amphibious deployment.

On Tuesday, an IAF F16 dropped a bunker bomb at a chemical site in Syria. It killed 3 thousand Iranian Revolutionary Guards who were stationed there to protect it. Israel has moved 3 antimissile Domes into northern position as a defense against retaliation.

DAMASCUS, Syria, Dec. 6 (UPI) –
Syria was poised to use the deadly sarin nerve agent against its own people Thursday after loading precursor chemicals into aerial bombs, U.S. officials said.n Syrians

The regime’s military awaited orders from embattled President Bashar Assad, said the network, whose report was corroborated by Fox News Channel.

A senior U.S. official told Fox News Syria had 60 days to use the bombs until the chemical mixture expired. At that point the bombs would have to be destroyed, the official said.

Syria is widely believed to have the world’s largest stockpile of the non-conventional, banned weapons.

Syria also has access to extremely toxic tabun, the first nerve-agent chemical weapon discovered, as well as traditional chemical weapons such as mustard gas and extremely poisonous hydrogen cyanide.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Wednesday reiterated a U.S. warning to Assad not to use chemical weapons, saying at NATO headquarters in Brussels Washington and the 27 other NATO powers would consider such use crossing “a red line” that would lead to serious consequences.

U.S. President Barack Obama issued a similar warning Monday.

Clinton told reporters Wednesday the Assad regime was on the brink of collapse. “It is just a question of how many people have to die before that occurs,” she said.

The entire NATO military alliance was therefore concerned “an increasingly desperate Assad regime might turn to chemical weapons, or might lose control of them to one of the many groups that are now operating within Syria,” Clinton said.

“And so, as part of the absolute unity that we all have on this issue, we [the NATO countries] have sent an unmistakable message that this would cross a red line and those responsible would be held to account,” she said.

Dec 6 (Support Israel) – Russia and the United States will seek a “creative” solution to the Syrian crisis, the international Syria mediator said on Thursday after meeting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

“We haven’t taken any sensational decisions,” mediator Lakhdar Brahimi told reporters after the meeting on the sidelines of a conference in Dublin.

“We have agreed that the situation is bad and we have agreed that we must continue to work together to see how we can find creative ways of bringing this problem under control,” he added.

A group of IDF soldiers on patrol in Hebron clashed with some 250 Palestinians after trying to arrest a Palestinian policeman on Thursday in the West Bank city of Hebron.

One soldier was punched in the face by a Palestinian policeman in the divided city. Over 20 Palestinians were injured in the clashes, according to Palestinian news agency Ma’an.

Maariv reported that the incident started when the soldiers attempted to arrest a Palestinian policeman. Other policemen and civilians jumped into the fray and threw stones at the soldiers.

Finding themselves overwhelmingly outnumbered, the soldiers retreated while throwing stun grenades and tear gas at the crowd. The soldiers also reportedly fired rubber bullets at the crowd.

The incident took place in the Bab al-Zawiye neighborhood west of Hebron’s Old City, according to Ma’an. The neighborhood is in area H1, which is under full Palestinian control, though Israeli soldiers occasionally enter escorted by Palestinian forces.

It was not immediately clear why the soldiers attempted to arrest the policeman. The city, home to the Cave of the Patriarchs, is a frequent flashpoint of settler-Palestinian tension.

An IDF spokesperson said the army sees the incident as very serious and has opened an investigation.
