China Launches Campaign To Cleanse Web Of Terror Content

China began a campaign on Friday to purge the Internet of content it says promotes terror and violence, enlisting the aid of major websites, state media said, as the country moves to damp violence in its restive far west. The Xinjiang region is the traditional home of Muslim Uighurs who speak a Turkic language, and China has blamed a series of attacks on Islamist separatists it says seek to establish an independent state there called East Turkestan. A suicide bombing last month killed 39 people at a market in Xinjiang's capital of Urumqi. In March, 29 people were stabbed to death at a train station in the southwestern city of Kunming. http://bit.ly/1uR1jxY http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Iraq, Syria Conflicts Merge, Feed Off Each Other

In a reflection of how intertwined the Syria and Iraq conflicts have become, thousands of Shiite Iraqi militiamen helping President Bashar Assad crush the Sunni-led uprising against him are returning home, putting a strain on the overstretched Syrian military as it struggles to retain territory recaptured in recent months from rebels. The borders between the two countries are being largely ignored, with fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant said to be crossing freely from one side to the other, transporting weapons, equipment and cash in a development that has potential to shift the balance of power in a largely stalemated battle. http://yhoo.it/1uR1j0V http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Putin Orders Forces In The Urals On Combat Alert

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday ordered military forces in central Russia on combat alert as well as a drill of airborne troops, a day after Ukraine ordered a cease-fire with pro-Russian rebels. NATO said earlier this week that Russia has resumed a military build-up on the border with Ukraine where pro-Russian separatists have been fighting government forces for weeks in a conflict that has left about 300 people dead and displaced over 34,000. http://yhoo.it/1p37txD http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Amir Meshal alleges he was detained without due process and tortured by the FBI while traveling in Africa.He was held for about 4 months, questioned 30 times, and then just released, 80 pounds lighter, without so much as an apology. The ACLU tried to bring his case to court to help get protections in place for American citizens traveling abroad, against their own government, but the court just threw out the ACLU's case.
