ISIS renames itself as the Islamic State
Minutes before blowing up a police station, a video clip revealed an ISIS militant cold bloodedly smiling and pointing out the gruesome fate of those held captive inside the police station.
The extent to which the ISIS relies on brute force is terrifying and at the same time, it also reveals as to how comfortable the organisation feels in Iraq.
Analysts agree that more the number videos made in English, more will be the number of threats directed at America and more the number of jihadists flocking to Iraq. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/isis-renames-itself-as-the-islamic-state/484185-2.html

If you think there have been more earthquakes than usual this year, you're right. A new study finds there were more than twice as many big earthquakes in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with the average since 1979.
"We have recently experienced a period that has had one of the highest rates of great earthquakes ever recorded," said lead study author Tom Parsons, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, California. Read more:

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Wikipedia
Equipment
ISIS has captured and currently uses American weapons, vehicles, and uniforms in its operations. ISIS members have been seen wearing the standard US Army Combat Uniform along with Interceptor body armor. For night raids, AN/PVS-7 night vision goggles worn with PASGT helmets are used. Some of the weapons used are M16 rifles, M4 carbines, M203 grenade launchers, M60 machine guns, M240 machine guns, RPGs, and surface-to-air Stinger missiles;[107] vehicles used include Humvees, AMZ Dziks, MT-LBs, M1117s,[108] M113 APCs and several T-55 tanks. During the 2014 Northern Iraq offensive, ISIS raided Iraqi Army bases and captured M198 howitzers,[109] Type 59-1 artillery guns, DShK guns mounted on trucks, ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns,[110][111] 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled guns and at least one Scud missile.[112]When ISIS captured Mosul Airport in June 2014, it seized a number of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and cargo planes that were stationed there.[113][114] However, according to Peter Beaumont of The Guardian, it seems unlikely that ISIS would be able to deploy them.[115] read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_Syria

Barack Obama to send more troops to Iraq as crisis escalates
President Barack Obama ordered a further 200 US troops, backed by drones and helicopters, to reinforce the American embassy in Baghdad.
The announcement brings the US deployment to Iraq to nearly 800 troops tasked with advising the Iraqi military and protecting American diplomats as jihadist forces continue to wreak havoc throughout the country.
"In light of the security situation in Baghdad, I have ordered up to approximately 200 additional US Armed Forces personnel to Iraq to reinforce security at the US Embassy, its support facilities, and the Baghdad International Airport," Obama said in a letter to Congress. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/10937148/Barack-Obama-to-send-more-troops-to-Iraq-as-crisis-escalates.html

US has ‘folded’ on Iran, Israeli political sources charge
.......................
Senior political sources said that the deal that has been sitting on the negotiations table since the weekend is “very bad.” It calls on Iran to stop enriching uranium to the 20 percent level, but allows them to continue enriching uranium to 3.5% at all of its enrichment sites. In addition it fails to place a limitation on the number of centrifuges in Tehran’s possession, estimated to number 19,000.
“To our understanding, they’re receiving a significant easing of sanctions,” he added.
Rewards to Iran include the unfreezing of $3 billion of fuel funds, an easing of sanctions on the petrochemical and gold sectors, an easing of sanctions on replacement parts for planes and a loosening of restrictions on the Iranian car industry.
