US urges calm in Lebanon, fears for Siniora
Published: 01.26.07, 00:32
The United States appealed on Thursday for calm in Lebanon and reiterated concern that "irresponsible" forces were working to topple the government of embattled Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
In November, the White House warned that Syria and Iran, acting through the Hizbullah group of Shiite Muslim militants, might be on the verge of an attempted coup in Lebanon. (Reuters)

"BREAKING NEWS -- Iran Set to Try Space Launch"
By Craig Covault/Aviation Week & Space Technology
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iran has converted its most powerful ballistic missile into a satellite launch vehicle. The 30-ton rocket could also be a wolf in sheep's clothing for testing longer-range missile strike technologies, Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine reports in its Jan. 29 issue."

"Report: Iran Preparing to Put Satellite in Orbit"
Friday, January 26, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The reported Iranian space launcher, which U.S. intelligence agencies believe to be a derivation of the Shahab 3 ballistic missile, has recently been assembled and "will liftoff soon" with a satellite, according to Iranian officials.
Western officials fear that the Iranian space vehicle could lead to upgrades in Iran's missile technology, eventually leading to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a range capable of reaching Europe, Russia, China and India, the magazine reports.
"A reconnaissance satellite of reasonable performance should weigh about 300 kilograms [660 lb.]," says Uzi Rubin, the former head of the Israel Missile Defense Organization, in a report for The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. "Once Iran learns how to put 300 kilograms into earth orbit, it could adapt the satellite launcher into an ICBM that could drop more than 300 kilograms anywhere in the world.""

New Charges Possible in Hezbollah TV Case
New York Sun January 23, 2007:
Two New York men accused of trying to broadcast Hezbollah propaganda via satellite television could soon face additional criminal charges that they also streamed the programming over the Internet. Government prosecutors say Javed Iqbal and Saleh Elahwal conspired to do business with Hezbollah's Al Manar TV network, which was designated a global terrorist entity by the American government last March. Prosecutors said yesterday they were looking into what they said could be "additional criminal conduct of these defendants." "That could spawn a new raft of charges," an assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting the case, Stephen Miller, told federal Judge Richard Berman yesterday, adding, "We are not sure where that's going to lead us yet."
