The UN atomic agency on Wednesday detailed rapid Iranian progress in two programs geared toward making nuclear weapons, saying Tehran has upgraded its uranium enrichment facilities and advanced in building a plutonium-producing reactor. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran had installed close to 700 high-tech centrifuges for uranium enrichment, and had added hundreds of older-generation machines at its main enrichment site to bring the total number to more than 13,000.

- Britain, Germany and France Seek to Put Hizbullah Military Wing on Terror List - Nicholas Kulish
Britain, Germany and France have thrown their weight behind a push for the EU to designate Hizbullah's "military wing" as a terrorist organization. Still, many experts question the strategy of simply taking aim at Hizbullah's military wing, arguing that it is impossible to separate the political organization from the group's large armed militia. Moreover, if only the so-called military wing is blacklisted, the group might still be able to raise money in Europe under the banner of politics.
An Israeli official noted that "Hizbullah itself does not make any distinction between the political wing and the military wing, so why should anybody else?...The whole organization is centered around terror - it's one big military wing." (New York Times)
- British Soldier Hacked to Death in Islamist Attack in London - Gordon Rayner and Steven Swinford
A British soldier has been butchered on a busy London street by two Islamist terrorists. The men attempted to behead the soldier, hacking at him in front of dozens of witnesses, before both were shot by police.
After the killing, one of the men, believed to be a British-born Muslim convert, spoke calmly into a witness's video phone. "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. Your people will never be safe. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying by British soldiers every day."
Witnesses said the men used a car to run over the soldier just yards from the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, southeast London, before setting about him with knives and a meat cleaver. As they attacked the soldier, one of the men shouted "Allahu akbar." (Telegraph-UK)
