Mit einem Anfangsbudget von einer halben Milliarde Dollar wurde AFRICOM angeblich ins Leben gerufen, um mit afrikanischen Ländern in Sachen Diplomatie und Hilfe zusammenzuarbeiten. Aber im Laufe der vergangenen 10 Jahre hat sich AFRICOM zu einem zentralen Kommando für militärische Übergriffe und Interventionen entwickelt.

US Senate Renews NSA Web Surveillance Program

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act had been set to expire on 31 December, but it is viewed as a vital piece of law by US intelligence agencies, as it allows them to carry out surveillance, and indeed store vast amounts of digital communications from foreign suspects living outside the United States.
But this program also collects and gathers communications of US citizens, who are not surveillance targets and are not communicating with targets.

(29.April 1999) The plans require the installation of a network of tapping centres throughout Europe, operating almost instantly across all national boundaries, providing access to every kind of communications including the net and satellites. A German tapping centre could intercept Internet messages in Britain, or a British detective could listen to Dutch phone calls. There could even be several tapping centres listening in at once.

House approves bill to keep government open as Senate Democrats take heat for threatening to block it

The House passed a short-term extension of government funding late Thursday after Republican leaders, with help from President Trump, cobbled together enough GOP votes to overcome an internal revolt.

Still, the possibility of a federal shutdown moved closer to a certainty after Senate Democrats rallied against the GOP proposal, announcing they would not lend their votes to a bill that did not reflect their priorities on immigration, government spending and other issues.

U.S. Nuke Sub Kept out of Busan for Fear of Agitating N.Korea

A government official said Seoul told Washington that the submarine had better not enter the naval operations base.

Instead it suggested that the sub should dock in Jinhae, but the U.S. military declined and abandoned the port call entirely.

After Jenin raid, Israeli army leaves behind devastation, both physical and psychological

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in the morning that Ahmad Nasr was killed in the attack, but his family ruled out the report and said the corpse which was found at the home and taken by the army belongs to someone else and not Ahmad.

Hours later, the Ministry corrected its earlier report and identified the dead person as Ahmad Ismail Jarrar, 31, a cousin of Ahmad Nasr Jarrar.

The Israeli army had actually taken the body away and the Palestinians had no way to exactly identify the corpse other than the information they would get from the Israeli army.

The army also took away another young man was also reportedly injured by their gunfire during the attack.

Israeli media accused Ahmad Nasr Jarrar of being behind an attack earlier in the month near Nablus in the northern West Bank that left an Israeli settler dead. Israel has been carrying out intensive search for the alleged attacker or attackers since the incident, raiding villages, towns and cities, blocking roads and detaining people. They have also dismantled and seized every surveillance camera placed in homes, shops and businesses in the northern West Bank.

With Ahmad Nasr Jarrar apparently not yet in Israeli hands, the manhunt for him is expected to continue.

Jordan says Israel apologizes for deaths of two Jordanians at embassy

Israel said at the time the armed guard opened fire after being attacked and lightly wounded by the workman, who was delivering furniture at his home within the embassy compound, and acted in self-defense in what Israeli officials called a “terrorist attack”.

Israel then said it was highly unlikely it would prosecute the security guard.

Jordanian officials have treated the shooting as a criminal case and say the two unarmed Jordanians – the other was a bystander – were killed in cold blood by the armed guard.

A Bunch Of Politicians Who Complain About Trump‘s Authoritarian Tendencies Just Gave Him 6 Years To Warrantlessly Spy On Americans

As was widely expected after Tuesday‘s close vote on cloture, the Senate officially voted to renew (in a somewhat expanded way) Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act by a vote of 65 to 34. That also means a few of those who voted against cloture switched over and voted for the program, including Senators Ted Cruz and Chuck Schumer. President Trump will almost certainly sign the bill shortly, despite confusing basically everyone last week by tweeting out complaints about the program, despite his White House vehemently supporting it.
