Saudi blogger Raif Badawi has flogging delayed

Saudi Arabia News, All The Latest And Breaking Saudi Arabia News

However, the second round of punishment was halted the following week without official explanation, and has since been pushed back several times.

The rejection of Mr Badawi's final appeal last Saturday had led to fears the lashings would resume on Friday.

But Amnesty International confirmed on Friday that the punishment had not taken place.

Since the first round of punishment, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah died to be replaced by his half-brother, King Salman.

The Prince of Wales has been among those who used visits to the new monarch to raise Mr Badawi’s case.

Although there was no formal suspension of the punishment, it was widely believed that the royal family had intervened following the public pressure.

Amnesty International has pursued Mr Badawi’s case, saying his sentence was part of a crackdown on liberal and independent voices in the kingdom since the start of the Arab Spring in 2011.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has also condemned the sentence as a form of “cruel and inhuman punishment”.

Mrs Haidar appealed for King Salman, along with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, to issue an amnesty.

"Raif is not a criminal, nor a terrorist,” she said. “He is a peaceful person. All that he did was express his opinion."

Russian fighter jet flies within 10ft of US plane

The US plane was intercepted a second time on the same flight, but that was deemed to have been done appropriately, Warren said.

Russian and US planes routinely monitor each other's movements in international airspace, but this encounter is the latest in a series of incidents sparking concerns over how Russia carries out airborne intercepts.

On April 7, a Russian Flanker jet performed "aggressive manuevers" in close proximity to a US reconnaissance plane in an incident that occurred over the Baltic Sea, in international airspace north of Poland.

The US Navy last month posted a video on YouTube showing a Russian SU-24 jet flying close to the American guided-missile destroyer USS Ross in the Black Sea. The Navy said the Russian jet was not carrying weapons.

NATO jets have in recent months been scrambled to intercept Russian planes approaching Baltic countries' airspace, amid tensions over the crisis in Ukraine.

Earlier this week RAF Typhoons intercepted and shadowed two Russian military aircraft over the Baltic Sea.

The jets were scrambled from Amari Air base in Estonia after the planes approached Baltic airspace without sharing a flight plan.

They initially identified and shadowed an Il-20M "Coot" A surveillance aircraft, before checking out a an An-26 "Curl" transport plane flying north from Kaliningrad.

Four Typhoons were deployed to Amari on May 1, and are working with Norwegian aircraft to patrol Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania

Chinese hackers seized 'gold mine' of information about US spies and army personnel
Sunday June 14th, 2015 at 4:54 PM

US News

In a statement, the White House said that on June 8, investigators concluded there was "a high degree of confidence that ... systems containing information related to the background investigations of current, former and prospective federal government employees, and those for whom a federal background investigation was conducted, may have been exfiltrated."

"This tells the Chinese the identities of almost everybody who has got a United States security clearance," said Joel Brenner, a former top U.S. counterintelligence official. "That makes it very hard for any of those people to function as an intelligence officer. The database also tells the Chinese an enormous amount of information about almost everyone with a security clearance. That's a gold mine. It helps you approach and recruit spies."

The Office of Personnel Management, a central personnel database, which was the target of the hack, has not officially notified military or intelligence personnel whose security clearance data was breached, but news of the second hack was starting to circulate in both the Pentagon and the CIA.

The officials said they believe the hack into the security clearance database was separate from the breach of federal personnel data announced last week - a breach that is itself appearing far worse than first believed. It could not be learned whether the security database breach happened when an OPM contractor was hacked in 2013, an attack that was discovered last year. Members of Congress received classified briefings about that breach in September, but there was no mention of security clearance information being exposed.

The OPM had no immediate comment on Friday.

Nearly all of the millions of security clearance holders, including CIA, National Security Agency and military special operations personnel, are potentially exposed in the security clearance breach, the officials said. More than 2.9 million people had been investigated for a security clearance as of October 2014, according to government records.

In the hack of standard personnel records announced last week, two people briefed on the investigation disclosed Friday that as many as 14 million current and former civilian US government employees have had their information exposed to hackers, a far higher figure than the 4 million the Obama administration initially disclosed.

American officials have said that cybertheft originated in China and that they suspect espionage by the Chinese government, which has denied any involvement.

The newer estimate puts the number of compromised records between 9 million and 14 million going back to the 1980s, said one congressional official and one former US official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because information disclosed in the confidential briefings includes classified details of the investigation.

There are about 2.6 million executive branch civilians, so the majority of the records exposed relate to former employees. Contractor information also has been stolen, officials said. The data in the hack revealed last week include the records of most federal civilian employees, though not members of Congress and their staffs, members of the military or staff of the intelligence agencies.

On Thursday, a major union said it believes the hackers stole national identification numbers, military records and veterans' status information, addresses, birth dates, job and pay histories; health insurance, life insurance and pension information; and age, gender and race data.

The personnel records would provide a foreign government an extraordinary roadmap to blackmail, impersonate or otherwise exploit federal employees in an effort to gain access to US secrets -or entry into government computer networks.

Outside experts were pointing to the breaches as a blistering indictment of the U.S. government's ability to secure its own data two years after a National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, was able to steal tens of thousands of the agency's most sensitive documents.

The national identification numbers, known as Social Security numbers, were not encrypted, the American Federation of Government Employees said, calling that "an abysmal failure on the part of the agency to guard data that has been entrusted to it by the federal workforce."

OPM said it was increasing its use of encryption.

The Obama administration had acknowledged that up to 4.2 million current and former employees whose information resides in the Office of Personnel Management server are affected by the December cyberbreach, but it had been vague about exactly what was taken.

Former congressman Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said last week that he believes China will use the recently stolen information for "the mother of all spear-phishing attacks."

Spear-phishing is a technique under which hackers send emails designed to appear legitimate so that users open them and load spyware onto their networks.

Suspect only death in attack on Dallas police buildingDALLAS (AP) - A man who authorities say opened fire outside Dallas police headquarters from his parked van, with bullets piercing the glass at the entrance and causing damage inside, was the only person killed after the gunfire turned into a street battle and standoff. Chief David Brown said the suspect told authorities he was James Boulware and blamed police for having lost custody of his son and for "accusing him of being a terrorist." But authorities declined to officially identify the man until a medical examiner verified it.

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) - Residents in rural New York, unaccustomed to locking their doors, day or night, were on edge as the massive manhunt for two killers stretched into a ninth day and the two men remained on the loose after cutting themselves out of a maximum-security prison with power tools. More than 800 law enforcement officers in the hunt for David Sweat and Richard Matt scoured the fields and Adirondack woods several miles around the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora near the Canadian border.

(AP) - When the NBA returned to a 2-2-1-1-1 format for the NBA Finals, it swung the advantage in Game 5 back to the higher-seeded team. Under the system that was used for about three decades, the middle three games were hosted by the team with the worse record.

Report: Britain pulls out spies as Russia, China crack Snowden files
Sunday June 14th, 2015 at 4:34 PM

By Reuters June 14 at 2:11 PM

LONDON — Britain has pulled out agents from live operations in “hostile countries” after Russia and China cracked top-secret information contained in files leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, the Sunday Times reported.

MI6, Britain’s version of the CIA, has removed agents from certain countries, the newspaper said, citing unnamed officials at the office of British Prime Minister David Cameron, the Home Office (interior ministry) and security services.

Snowden downloaded more than 1.7 million secret files from security agencies in the United States and Britain in 2013, and he leaked details about mass surveillance of phone and Internet communications to the news media, including The Washington Post.

The United States wants Snowden to stand trial.

Snowden was granted asylum in Moscow in 2013. He went to Russia via Hong Kong, and although he has claimed that the encrypted files remained secure, Britain believed both Russia and China had cracked documents, which contain details that could allow British and American spies to be identified, the newspaper said, citing officials.

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Snowden had done a huge amount of damage to the West’s ability to protect its citizens.

“As to the specific allegations this morning, we never comment on operational intelligence matters, so I’m not going to talk about what we have or haven’t done in order to mitigate the effect of the Snowden revelations, but nobody should be in any doubt that Edward Snowden has caused immense damage,” he told Sky News.

A person with the Home Office told the newspaper that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not grant Snowden asylum for nothing.

“His documents were encrypted, but they weren’t completely secure, and we have now seen our agents and assets being targeted,” the person said.

A person with British intelligence said Snowden had done “incalculable damage.”

“In some cases, the agencies have been forced to intervene and lift their agents from operations to stop them being identified and killed,” that person was quoted as saying.

British security agencies declined to comment, and the Russian and Chinese governments were not immediately available for comment.

The revelations about the impact of Snowden on intelligence operations comes days after Britain’s terrorism law watchdog said the rules governing the security services’ abilities to spy on the public needed to be overhauled.

Cameron has promised a swathe of new security measures, including more powers to monitor Britons’ communications and online activity in what critics have dubbed a “snoopers’ charter.”
