Violence in Syria despite the peace plans by Arab League: 23 Killed many injured (Mian Shakeel Aslam)

Mian Shakeel Aslam.......Violence erupted in Syria on Saturday, killing at least 28 people, activists said. The Arab League condemned the violence and warned of a crisis in the region if the Syrian government does not comply with an agreement on Wednesday with the group to "stop violence" and allow outside observers in the country.

Opposition groups reported explosions, shelling and heavy machine gun on Saturday in the western city of Homs Syria, an outbreak of anti-government and government repression. At least 23 people died there, local coordination committees of Syria, he said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, another militant group, the number of victims of Homs to 11 earlier in the day.
The demonstrations took place Saturday in several cities, including Idlib, Daraa, Deir ez-Zor, and a suburb of the capital Damascus, the CEC said. At least four people died in Hama and Idlib, the LCC said.

The LCC said Friday that more than 3,800 people died in Syria since protests against the government erupted in March in the movements of mid-spring that shook the Arab Middle East and North Africa. President Bashar al-Assad and other Syrian officials have blamed the violence on outside forces trying to undermine the rule of 40 years of the president's family.

A resident of Homs, who asked that her name be used to protect your security, said the shooting began Friday and continued military aviation in Bab Amr, a nearby town. He said he could hear the activity of his house and was afraid to go on the street.

Massive explosions and heavy shelling by tanks and artillery were also held in Homs, according to the CDC, an opposition group that organizes events and documents.

Violence is the last of a nearly eight-month uprising in Syria. It all started with a call for elections and end the abuses committed by security forces, but became widespread and persistent calls for the eviction of the al-Assad demonstrations and government repression intensified.

Syria agrees to end the repression of the incursions of Syria in Lebanon

Reports of violence came a day after a doctor told Homs 126 bodies had been taken to hospital in recent days. The doctor declined to be identified for fear of reprisals by government forces.
The bodies, eight of which were burned, not identified. The doctor said his death was not reported by the media managed by the State.

The medical report was widely supported by members of the LCC Kabbani Saleem. Kabbani, CNN always reliable in the past, cited three sources as saying that about 100 unidentified bodies had been taken to hospital these days.

Kabbani, said the source including a person who was involved in the transportation of bodies, a witness who saw the bodies where they were found, and a witness inside the hospital.
He said no bodies were found in the fear that this could lead to sectarian violence.

The Agency government-run Syrian Arab News said 22 people were killed by the military hospitals carried out for burial. The victims - civilian and military personnel and security forces - were killed by "armed terrorist groups in Homs, Damascus and Daraa campaign while on duty," SANA said Saturday.

Syria has also announced the release of 553 prisoners "without blood on their hands," SANA said. The move coincides with the feast of Eid al-Adha, the feast that marks the climax of the pilgrimage, the Muslim year pilgrimage.to Mecca.

Media could not independently verify the accounts.

The Syrian government promised Wednesday to the Arab League that the withdrawal of their forces to liberate the prisoners and allow outside observers into the country, but opposition activists said the security forces deployed in force after the prayer Friday, around mosques to prevent demonstrations and assistance to disperse the crowd shots.

Arab League chief Nabil al-Araby met Saturday with the Member States to discuss the next steps in relation to the ongoing conflict.

The Arab ministers of the league said the moderate group a "national dialogue" after two weeks.
Syria has made previous commitments to withdraw its forces from civilian areas, but in some cases, retired from the armored and infantry units left in place or returned after the withdrawal of short duration. He also made other measures to defuse the protests, including plans to draft a new constitution, but failed to appease the protesters.

Iran's nuclear program is advancing towards production of Atomic Bomb(Mian Shakeel Aslam)

Mian Shakeel Aslam.....Installing Iran is preparing for the production of uranium weapons that would allow Tehran to move quickly to build its first nuclear weapon, according to the Government.

The officials expressed deep concern about the activity in the underground site of Qom, where he is installing centrifuges that can enrich uranium to the required density by an explosive device.

A United Nations report to be published next week will reveal details about the Iranian nuclear program, which the government hopes to persuade the nations doubt that Iran is on track to build a bomb and not, as only the creation of the nuclear energy only for civilian purposes or medical.

Will be published in the middle of tensions with Israeli cabinet is considering a military preemptive strike against nuclear facilities of Iran and military planners in the Pentagon and the Department of Defense refocus their attention on plans to attack Iran, after the conclusion of the NATO mission in Libya.

Referring to Qom, a Whitehall official said: "This is the aspect of the program, we are very, very concerned we do not see a credible explanation of the civil point of view.."

Iran has been forced to admit that the transfer of centrifuges for the site, which was exposed in 2009 after a joint intelligence operation in Britain, France and the United States.

The authority said the Iranian nuclear triple its capacity to produce 20 percent enriched uranium in Qom, saying it would be used for medical isotopes in a research reactor.

But according to Whitehall, the Iranians intend to produce four times the amount of isotope needed for reactor.

"It's a very technical argument, but it is very important," said an official.
Move from uranium enriched to 20 percent to 90 percent, the level required for weapons grade materials, is a relatively quick process. The site is also a small scale, actually built in tunnels, where civilian facilities are still housed centrifuge equipment sufficient for maximum production.

"They have lots of uranium and 20 percent offered to Qom under a mountain that could be quickly turned into weapons-grade material. We find this very disturbing and we hope that other countries understand this, "he said.

Washington is considering a ban on transactions with the Central Bank of Iran, having been angered by the revelation of an Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States.

"As a result, were quick to increase the effort," said a U.S. State Department official. "We continue to seek international support to continue to isolate the Iranian government."

A Western official said that the report of the International United Nations Atomic Energy Agency issued a "compelling case" that aspects of Iran's nuclear program is "illegals for nuclear purposes."

The report is not expected to conclude firmly that Iran has weaponized its nuclear program, but does not actually control any other conclusion possible, according to officials familiar with its findings.

A Western diplomat said Iran could build a bomb within a year or two, but not crucial but decided to "go out".

Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi will resign soon (Mian Shakeel Aslam)

Mian Shakeel Aslam.......Italian Silvio Berlusconi, will retire "within days", the country's president, said.

Napolitano said he wanted to "dispel any doubt or misunderstanding" in which the Prime Minister will keep his promise to resign.

He also said there would be no delay in the adoption of economic reforms demanded by the partners in Italy, the euro area.

His comments came after the country's financial crisis worsened with the increase in bond yields 7%.

This rate is widely regarded as unsustainable.

Berlusconi announced his decision to resign Tuesday after appearing to lose its parliamentary majority in a vote on the budget and mid growing concern that Italy could be the next victim of the debt crisis in the euro area.

Berlusconi calendar:

Born September 29, 1936
1973: Lance local cable television Telemilano equipment, precursor of the empire Mediaset
1993: He founded the political party Forza Italia
Prime Minister from 1994 to 1995, 2001-06 and since 2008

Mr. Napolitano stated that the financial stability law incorporates the reforms would be approved within days, after which they consult to end the crisis.

"In short, if a new government was formed ... or dissolve Parliament to immediately begin a campaign," said Napolitano, according to Reuters.

He said that Italy would not take "an extended period of inactivity and parliamentary politics."

Italian media quoted sources as saying that the final approval of the reform could come as early as Saturday, AFP reported.

The president also proposed to the former European Commissioner, Mario Monti, as a senator for life.

The movement has led some to speculate he was preparing the way for his eventual appointment of Mr. Monti as Prime Minister.

BBC Europe editor Gavin Hewitt, in Rome, made it clear that the political difficulties ahead.

And even if the current crisis Ebbs, fundamental problems remain - a country of sluggish growth and a mountain of debt 1.9tn euros (£ 1.63tn, $ 2.6tn), our correspondent.

Earlier, Berlusconi said: "I will resign as soon as the legislation is passed ... I see the elections to be held in early February, and I will not hold for them."

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Italian bonds last rose 7% despite the statement by Mr. Berlusconi, who has raised concerns about whether Italy can not pay their debts.

This is the highest rate since the euro was established in 1999. In comparison, the cost of Germany's 10-year loans is 1.73%.

Meanwhile, an EU team was in Rome on Wednesday to begin monitoring how Italy plans to reduce its growing debt.

Economic Affairs, Olli Rehn said he presented the results at the end of November in Italy called the situation "very worrying".
