Syria - 'The army was told not to fire at protesters'
Bouthaina Shaaban is one of only six Syrians on America's personal sanction list against the Assad regime. She is political adviser to the President. A middle-aged mother and author who speaks perfect English, as much at home in Paris as in Cairo. And all those assets of hers, frozen in America. Wow.

Out of Syria's darkness come tales of terror
In Damascus, the posters – in their tens of thousands around the streets – read: "Anxious or calm, you must obey the law." But pictures of President Bashar al-Assad and his father Hafez have been taken down, by the security police no less, in case they inflame Syrians.

America's secret plan to arm Libya's rebels - Obama asks Saudis to airlift weapons into Benghazi
Desperate to avoid US military involvement in Libya in the event of a prolonged struggle between the Gaddafi regime and its opponents, the Americans have asked Saudi Arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in Benghazi. The Saudi Kingdom, already facing a "day of rage" from its 10 per cent Shia Muslim community on Friday, with a ban on all demonstrations, has so far failed to respond to Washington's highly classified request, although King Abdullah personally loathes the Libyan leader, who tried to assassinate him just over a year ago.

The Tunisian whose jihad was for the people, not God
The second Arab awakening of modern history – the first was the Arab revolt against the Ottoman empire – requires some new definitions, perhaps even some new words in at least the English language.

Un mensaje, casi seguramente, de Bin Laden
¿Es él? Casi seguramente. ¿Por qué en audio? ¿Por qué no grabó un video? ¿Estará enfermo? Sí, dicen las acostumbradas "fuentes de inteligencia" estadunidenses. Es el mismo viejo cuento. Osama Bin Laden nos habla desde detrás de una cueva, de dentro de una cueva, desde un sótano, tal vez, en una cinta que casi seguramente fue grabada de una línea telefónica lejana.
