The United Nations has unanimously approved the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for at least one more year. That would mean the UNAMA mission would end in March 2014.

Russian officials say they have documented that the chemical weapons attack in Aleppo province was launched by U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents. Russian intelligence believe the insurgents captured the chemical armed rockets from the Syrian military.
The Syrian government says the insurgents got the WMDs from outside the country.
“I saw mostly women and children. Witnesses said that people were suffocating in the streets and the air smelt strongly of chlorine. People were dying in the streets and in their houses.”-Reuters photographer

U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents in Syria attacked the province of Aleppo with chemical weapons! The attack comes as the Western powers recognized a interim government composed of insurgents, including one who is a U.S. citizen!
U.S. supported insurgents launched rockets into a city in Aleppo province. The rockets contained chemical weapons. So far reports say 25 civilians killed, 85 wounded.
The government of Syria has repeatedly said they would use chemical weapons only in retaliation for a first strike by insurgents. The insurgents have made the first strike!
Western puppet media claims the attack came from the Syrian government. Who you gonna believe? After all the Western media has a proven track record of reporting lie after lie by their respective governments.

Photos taken by Saudi Arabian activists show that the buildings surrounding the Ka’aba are being torn down, specifically those built during Ottoman and Abassid eras.
The demolition is reportedly being performed by the Saudi Binladin Group (a company started by the father of Osama bin Laden). In the past the SBG was involved in restoring holy sites.
It’s also reported that one of the sites razed is the spot where Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim (aka Muhammad) began his night journey to Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Saudi officials claim the demolition is necessary to make room for the exponentially increasing Muslim pilgrims. (this might be true as Islam is the fastest growing religion in the World, despite the U.S. led War on Terror)
Critics point out that the Saudi leadership is Wahhabi. In the past Wahhabist clerics have called for the destruction of Mecca.
In 1979, Wahhabi extremists (who might now be called al-Qaeda) took over Mecca. Western media ignored it because they were obsessed with the Iranian Revolution. The Grand Mosque Seizure ended when Saudi troops, and a Pakistani commando unit, took it back by force after two weeks of fighting. 255 people were killed, at least 560 wounded. The surviving 67 extremists were publicly beheaded. Iranian officials said the takeover by extremists was backed by the United States.
During the early years of Islam the arrogant elites of Mecca saved their lives by making a deal with Muhammad. They would accept the new religion and throw out the idols if their lives were spared and they were allowed to maintain their control over Mecca. (you see all these ‘holy sites’ of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and others, are just money making schemes, most being located on important cross roads of the ancient Silk Road)
Do you think Muhammad did the right thing by sparing the elites’ lives? On one hand I don’t like seeing historical sites destroyed, on the other I don’t like seeing historical sites being turned into money making idols unto themselves by being declared ‘holy’. (this is the main reason Jesus of Nazareth threw the money changers out of the Temple of David!)
On 12 March 2013/29 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/22 Esfand 1391/01 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy met with Iraq’s acting defense minister, chief of staff of the army and Navy commander during a four-day visit.
Fadavi also toured the Iraqi Navy’s operation center and Academy of Naval Sciences. The main purpose of the visit was to discuss joint Persian Gulf defenses by Iran and Iraq.
Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, and Iraq’s Vice Admiral Ali Hussain Ali, signed an agreement to expand cooperation between Iraqi and Iranian naval forces.
Iran’s commander of the Kermanshah Cavalry Division, General Ali Hajilou, claims that in the past three months his forces have captured U.S. supported al-Qaeda militants trying to cross into Iran from Iraq.
He says his troops’ actions prove the borders of Iran are secure.

Iranian leaders want to end their oil exports, as a way to guarantee self sufficiency, and counter economic sanctions by the West.
It’s estimated that if Iran builds more refineries to make fuel and petrochemicals for export, it can make three to four times more money than from exporting raw crude oil. (this is exactly what the U.S. oil industry is doing, and the real reason why U.S. domestic fuel prices go up when U.S. oil prices have been relatively constant)
Domestically, it’s estimated that by producing more petrochemicals for Iranian industries as much as five times more money could be made: “The country’s oil industry has witnessed big developments, among them launching gasoline making unit of Abadan oil refinery. By launching the project the country no longer needs to import gasoline.”-Rostam Qassemi, Iranian Oil Minister

In Badakhshan Province, reports of nearly 300 families fleeing their homes in Akshira village in Wardaj District. Apparently Mujahideen are using the area to prepare for a major battle with U.S. led Afghan National Army (ANA). Provincial government officials believe Mujahideen are about to launch an offensive to take control of at least four districts, including the province’s capital city.
In Kunduz Province, a suicide bomber killed as many as 20 people, and wounded 35, after he blew himself up at a sporting event. Among those killed are the son and the father of the Afghan Speaker of the House. Some reports suggest they were the target of the bomber.
In Baghlan Province, children were playing with what turned out to be unexploded ordinance (UXO). The bomb went off killing six kids and wounding five. Local government officials say the bomb was left over from a recent battle.
In Helmand Province, unconfirmed reports that an explosion killed two U.S./U.K. led personnel. Also, President Hamid Karzai told University students and local elders that the U.S. led War on Terror is a lie, and that some Mujahideen are actually working for the United States! He also stated that Afghanistan and Pakistan must unite in order to fight their own War on Terror.
In Nangarhar Province, 21000 kg (about 20 tons) of morphine and heroin was captured by Afghan and Russian forces. It’s considered the biggest drug bust in years, and is proof that everything the U.S. has done to supposedly stop opium drug production has failed.
U.S. National Intelligence Director, James Clapper, told the U.S. Senate that Afghanistan was too unstable for U.S. forces to pullout: “the Taliban-led insurgency has diminished in some areas of Afghanistan but remains resilient and capable of challenging U.S. and international goals. The coalition drawdown will have an impact on Afghanistan’s economy, which is likely to decline after 2014.”
The German Development Bank just pledged $89 million USD for the construction of an electricity network in Balkh and Samang provinces, and the building of a dam in Baghlan Province.

In Kandahar Province, a U.S. helicopter crashed, killing five U.S. personnel. Mujahideen claim they hit the ‘copter with a rocket, but ISAF said: “The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the incident.”
In Parwan Province, reports that U.S. Bagram air base was hit by rocket attacks.
In Helmand Province, in Khashin district five people were killed after they drove over a landmine. In Musa Qaleh district, a woman and two girls were killed when a mortar round hit their house.
Textron Marine & Land Systems announced they are being paid $113.4 million USD by the U.S. government, to provide Afghanistan with armored vehicles. The deal is being handled by the U.S. Army Foreign Military Sales (FMS). The company is currently working to fulfill a 2011 U.S. contract for the same armored vehicles.
