There are claims that last month's Yemen bomb scare was all part of a publicity-stunt by American intelligence and security services, to sway public opinion before the mid-term elections. Explosives were said to have been found inside toner cartridges on two cargo planes heading to the U.S. But now some reports suggest there weren't in fact any bombs on board at all. Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen says the media in the U.S. are accustomed to stories like this popping up before voters go to the polls.

The US may have to fly military equipment out of Afghanistan since the land route through Pakistan has been blocked because of anti-US protests. US officials say the possible air shipments would cost an additional one billion dollars. Sending the cargoes out through the normal routes via Pakistan would cost about five billion dollars. Dozens of Pakistani protesters continue to gather on the busy overland route more than a week after Islamabad promised Washington that it would take immediate action to quell the protests. Pakistanis are angry with US drone operations which have left scores of civilians dead and injured in their country.

The Boeing 7-47 aircraft was reportedly carrying just four crew members, all of whom lost their lives when it went down. The plane crashed into residential buildings in a village 25 kilometers from Bishkek during landing approach. Emergency workers were dispatched to the crash site immediately to recover bodies and help with relief operations. Kyrgyz officials said crash happened due to QUOTE pilot error. All flights to and from Kyrgyzstan\'s Manas International Airport have been suspended. The plane coming from Hong-Kong belonged to a Turkish company.

To defy Israel's four-year blockade of the impoverished Palestinian enclave, a Libyan aid ship departs for the Egyptian port of El-Arish en route to Gaza. The cargo ship Amalthea, which left the Greek port of Lavrio, southeast of Athens, late Saturday, is carrying 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies, including sacks of rice, sugar, corn oil and olive paste, intended for suffering Gazans. "We hope that the Israeli authorities would not ban the ship from entering the port of Gaza," said Youssef Sawani, Executive Director of the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation. The foundation is chaired by the son of Libyan Leader, Muammar Gaddafi. "I think the Israelis need to understand that we are not provoking any kind of action, we are not in military action, we are a peaceful organization, a humanitarian organization," he said. Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas said he has discussed the ship's planned trip with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Friday. The ship has nine crew members — six Libyans, a Moroccan, a Nigerian and an Algerian. This latest attempt comes after Israeli commandos attacked the Freedom Flotilla aid convoy on May 31 in international waters, killing 9 Turkish activists. The Israeli assault sparked a worldwide condemnation and a row between Ankara and Tel Aviv. Turkey's Prime Minister demanded that Israel apologize for the deadly attack on the Turkish-owned ship Mavi Marmara, offer compensation to the victims, agree to an international investigation and end the blockade of Gaza. It also recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv and cancelled military exercises with Israel. It has also twice denied Israel the use of its airspace. Israel has refused to apologize, claiming its commandos only used force to defend themselves after being ambushed.

Desde el triunfo de la Revolución Islámica de Irán, se han celebrado 10 elecciones presidenciales y 6 personas han ocupado este cargo: Abol Hasan Bani Sadr, Mohamad Ali Rayai, Ayatolá Seyed Ali Jamenei, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanyani, Mohamad Jatami y Mahmud Ahmadineyad. Dos de ellos, es decir, Bani Sadr y Rayai no llegaron a cumplir sus periodos de mandatos. El primero fue destituido por el Parlamento por alejarse de las metas de la Revolución Islámica y los requisitos que debe tener como presidente. El segundo tampoco pudo cumplir con su periodo de mandato. Murió en un atentado con bomba perpetrado por un miembro infiltrado de la banda terrorista Muyahedin-e Jalq (MKO, por sus siglas en inglés), contra la oficina del primer ministro, Mohamad Yavad Bahonar, quien también perdió la vida. Una de las elecciones presidenciales multitudinarias de Irán fue la del 2009, donde el 84.83 % de los ciudadanos aptos para votar, acudieron a las urnas y además de elegir a su propio candidato manifestaron su apoyo a la República Islámica de Irán. Esto ocurrió pese a todos los esfuerzos de las superpotencias para que la ciudadanía iraní no participara en las elecciones. http://www.hispantv.com http://www.facebook.com/Hispantv http://plus.google.com/+hispantv http://twitter.com/Hispantv http://hispantv.com/​Frequencies.aspx

A week from today there will be massive celebrations in the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea to mark the 60th anniversary of a cease-fire tat halted the Korean War. Some three million Koreans were killed in the conflict, mainly as a result of the US bombing campaign. However, as North Korea prepares for a celebration of peace, tension is mounting once again. On July 12th, the Chong Chun Gang, a Korean vessel heading from Cuba to the DPRK was seized by Panamanian authorities. The vessel was searched and on July 16th the Panamanians declared that the ship contained \"undeclared military cargo.\" United Nations sanctions prohibit the shipping of arms to North Korea.

Police were tipped off that the truck belonging to an aid organization was carrying arms for al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria. But their search of the cargo was prevented by Hatay Governor Jela-lettin Lekesiz, and the vehicle went on its way. Reports say an army post then stopped the truck and found ammunition and weapons onboard. Now the chief provincial public prosecutor is investigating the incident. Turkey is a vocal critic of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has openly supported the insurgents fighting the government there. Ankara, however, denies arming militants in Turkey\\\'s crisis-hit neighbor. Back in December, local media said that Turkey had shipped 47 tonnes of weapons to insurgents since June.
