Kerry, Abbas, to Meet Sunday
US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas in Istanbul on Sunday, the State Department said, as a US-led "peace" push focusing on the PA's economy steps up.

Iran's oil ministry says the country is considering exporting oil to North Korea as a way to improve its battered economy.

China rushes relief after Sichuan quake kills 180

Obama requests $580m. for Mideast ‘contingencies’
Built in to President Obama’s budget proposal for 2014 is a $580 million contingency fund to address the turmoil roiling the Middle East and North Africa, to be spent across the region over the course of the year at the discretion of the White House and the State Department. That sum is striking some members of the Congress as too large for an administration without a coherent policy toward the Arab Spring.

Behind the Lines: Hezbollah turns eastwards
This week saw a sharp escalation in the emerging confrontation between the Syrian Sunni rebels and the Lebanese Hezbollah organization.

Boston bombs: Obama lulled America into false confidence over terror threat
In his State of the Union address to the American people earlier this year, Barack Obama declared that he was "confident" of achieving "our objective of defeating the core of al-Qaeda".

North Korea reiterates it will not give up nuclear arms

Ties between Islamic extremist groups and Chechnya well-documented

As Manhunt ends, new questions emerge in Boston bombings
The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing remained hospitalized with serious injuries this morning as the hunt for answers goes full tilt to discover why the alleged terrorists turned against a country they once embraced. Police captured Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Friday night, ending a tense, five-day drama that gripped Massachusetts with fear and rekindled the specter of terror across the nation. He and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, killed in an earlier gun battle with police, are Chechens who came to the U.S. and - for a time - seemed to want to succeed in America

Big Earthquakes Might Calm the Earth
The biggest earthquakes make the Earth ring like a bell. But do earthquakes that rock the world increase the risk of new temblors? Not by much, according to two reports presented today (April 19) at the Seismological Society of America's annual meeting in Salt Lake City. In fact, one recent quake near Sumatra, Indonesia, seemed to actually quiet global earthquakes.

NRA chief: Obama 'bit off more than he could chew'
David Keene told Secrets that the president and his team misplayed their hand because they don't have a sense of the public's attitude toward gun control. "They just can't gauge the public reaction to what they do because they don't have any sense that the public has feelings different than they do," said Keene.

Is Pope Francis Laying The Groundwork For A One World Religion?
Does Pope Francis intend to help the global elite achieve their goal of uniting all of the religions of the world under a single banner? Will he be instrumental in establishing a single global religion for the glorious “new age” that the global elite believe is coming? After he was elected, the cover of Time Magazine declared Pope Francis to be the “New World Pope“, and since his election Pope Francis has made it abundantly clear that he is going to make ecumenical outreach a top priority. For example, in one recent address he made it a point to say that he believes that Muslims worship and pray to the “one God” that he also worships.

The Jews in Prophecy Have they been cast aside, or are they destined for glory?
The Scriptures reveal the Jews as "the apple of God's eye" (Zechariah 2:8). Their land is described as "holy" (Zechariah 2:12). Their city of Jerusalem is termed the "center of the nations" (Ezekiel 5:5). They are pictured as the wayward wife of God (see Ezekiel 16 and the book of Hosea). And the Bible makes it clear that they will be the object of both God's wrath (Jeremiah 30:7) and His grace (Zechariah 13:1) in the end times.

Giant ‘star-factory’ at the beginning of the universe could upend what we know about how galaxies were formed
NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and researchers at Caltech have found what they believe to be a massive “star factory,” an early galaxy that produced stars when the rest of the galaxies in the universe were still just clouds of dust.

Still dreaming of peace
Had we been Micronesia, Switzerland or Brazil, we would never have doubted the continued existence of our country, but the truth is that after 65 years of intense building and successes in almost every field, the continued existence of the State of Israel is still not obvious.

Israel to buy new missiles, refueling planes from US
The US Defense Department is expected to finalize a $10 billion arms deal with Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates next week that will provide missiles, warplanes and troop transports to help the Mideast countries counter any future threat from Iran, the New York Times reported Friday.

Gun vote triggers media outcry
If you thought President Obama was outraged after the Senate killed the plan to expand background checks on guns, you should have seen some members of the press. The decision by some members of the media to come down so firmly on one side of a policy debate has only served to reinforce conservatives’ longstanding suspicions that the mainstream media has a deep-seated liberal bias. “I guess the liberal media get annoyed when Senators listen to their constituents and think for themselves, rather than doing the media’s bidding,

Experts gathering to focus on H7N9 bird flu transmission mystery
Almost three weeks after China reported finding a new strain of bird flu in humans, experts are still stumped by how people are becoming infected when many appear to have had no recent contact with live fowl and the virus isn't supposed to pass from person to person.
