    Arrow Afghan policeman turns weapons on colleagues, nine dead

    KABUL - An Afghan policeman killed nine colleagues in an attack in the eastern province of Paktika, the governor's office said on Friday, the latest in a string of rogue shootings that has also targeted foreign forces.

    Two policemen have been detained after the attack on Thursday night in Yahya Khil district, while a third officer was missing. It was not clear if the assailant was among the pair detained, Mukhlis Afghan, the provincial governor's spokesman, said.

    A series of attacks on NATO personnel by Afghan army and police have stoked fears that the security forces have turned against their western allies, or have been infiltrated by the Taliban insurgents.http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=264112

    Arrow Israel provoked missile barrage to test Iran war defenses

    Gareth Porter does some excellent reporting during his current trip to Israel, where he’s meeting Israeli military and intelligence figures concerning a possible Israeli attack on Iran. He focuses on the lack of Israeli psychological preparation or awareness of the danger they face from an Iranian counter-strike after Israel’s pre-emptive attack.

    Neve Gordon reported in Al Jazeera English that Israel assassinated the leader of the Gaza PRC a few weeks ago in order to deliberately provoke a Gaza missile barrage. Bibi wanted to test the Iron Dome missile system in the expectation that its success would further reassure Israelis and his doubting cabinet members, who must vote to approve war, that Israel will remain protected from rockets in the event Iran is attacked. I have a Truthout story being publishing tomorrow that will cover more of this ground.http://www.headlineclicker.com/2012/...e-to-test.html

    Amnesty International issued a condemnation of what it termed Israel's "excessive use of force" on Land Day protesters.

    The organization's deputy director of Middle East and North Africa program said in a press statement that the the human-rights group was "extremely worried" by reports that the IDF was using live ammunition on protesters, "particularly in the light of frequent and persistent use of excessive force against Palestinian protesters."

    Amnesty also condemned the PA for preventing protests and Hamas for beating up protesters, calling on them both to respect freedom of assembly.
