NATIONAL RALLY TO END THE THREAT NOW!

Over 25,000 people gathered together at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the United Nations, to protest the presence of Iranian President Ahmadinejad in New York, and to call for the end of Iran's nuclear program, Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial, and his statements calling for the destruction of the United States and Israel. The crowd was addressed by a variety of diplomatic, political, religious and community leaders, including Israeli Foreign Minster Tzipi Livni, Amb. Richard Holbrooke, NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, NYC Comptroller William Thompson, Senator Robert Menendez, Representatives Elliot Engel, Scott Garrett, Carolyn Maloney, Jerrold Nadler, Anthony Weiner, and many others.

FROM TODAY'S DAILY ALERT

News Resources - North America, Europe, and Asia:

  • Shiite Gunmen Seize Control of Beirut Neighborhoods
    Shiite opposition gunmen seized control of several Beirut neighborhoods from Sunni foes loyal to the U.S.-backed government on Friday, in street battles that left 11 dead, security officials said. The TV station of top Sunni politician Saad Hariri's Future Movement was forced off the air, and the offices of the affiliated al-Mustaqbal newspaper were set ablaze. Shiite gunmen roamed unopposed through the deserted streets of neighborhoods once dominated by supporters of Hariri and the government. Dozens of cars and shops had been damaged by the fighting.
        About 100 Hizbullah gunmen in camouflage uniforms and black flak jackets marched down the Muslim sector's main commercial Hamra Street. Dozens of fighters from the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, a Hizbullah ally, also appeared in the streets off Hamra, some masked and carrying rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The army has largely avoided getting involved in the street battles. (AP/International Herald Tribune)

    The White House on Thursday demanded that Lebanon's Hizbullah "stop their disruptive activities" as fierce gun battles raged in Beirut. "Hizbullah needs to make a choice: Be a terrorist organization or be a political party, but quit trying to be both. They need to stop their disruptive activities now," said U.S. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe. (Daily Star-Lebanon)
  • Bush Extends Syria Sanctions
    President Bush said Wednesday he was extending U.S. sanctions against Syria, continuing a freeze on Syrian assets and the ban on the export of certain goods to Syria. "I took these actions to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions of the Government of Syria," Bush said. He accused Syria of "supporting terrorism...pursuing weapons of mass destruction and missile programs including the recent revelation of illicit nuclear cooperation with North Korea." He also said Syria was "undermining U.S. and international efforts with respect to the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq." (AFP)
  • Olmert: Iran Never Stopped Its Military Nuclear Program - Lally Weymouth
    From an interview this week with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert:
    Q: It's widely believed in the U.S. that after the latest National Intelligence Estimate, the U.S. will not act.
    Olmert: "We have a different opinion...and we haven't changed our attitude."
    Q: You mean that you think [Iran's nuclear program] is closer to being usable?
    Olmert: "The main point of the NIE, the estimate, was that there is no evidence that the Iranians restarted their [covert] military program since it was closed in 2003....Based on the information we have, the military program continues and has never been stopped. If this program continues, at some point they will be in possession of a nuclear weapon." (Washington Post)
