Ireland Refuses U.S. Extradition Warrant For Edward Snowden



"My conclusion in this matter is that the request made on 5th July 2013 by the United States of America through its Embassy in Dublin fails to indicate the place where any of the offences took place. "Therefore, I am compelled to refuse the application by the United States of America for a provisional Arrest Warrant in respect of Mr Edward J Snowden." The US has accused Mr Snowden of espionage and wants his return to face charges. Mr Justice Colm Mac Eochaidh refused the application this weekend, saying the grounds were too general. In his judgment he wrote that: "an extradition request is required to state as accurately as possible the time and place of commission of the alleged offence or offences".









Israel Bombs Arms Depot In Syria



A massive explosion last Thursday at a major Syrian weapons depot in Latakia, not far from the main port of Tartous, completely destroyed the facility and munitions stored there. Tartous is Syria’s main port. It is largely controlled by the Russian military, and the route by which all weapons transported by sea would enter Syria. As such, any advanced Russian weaponry would enter via Tartous and might be stored in the Latakia depot.
