(OP) User ID: 1344279 Australia 03/12/2012 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The secret soldiers March 13, 2012 THE missile struck in the middle of the night one Friday last month, ripping apart a car in a speeding convoy on a road 60 kilometres south of the Somali capital, Mogadishu. By the time local authorities arrived, the four men inside the car (unnamed intelligence sources would later tell Western media they were ''foreign fighters'') were human debris. What such a scenario does not describe, however, is the extensive planning behind the strike, and that a seemingly automated killing was in fact the climax of a very human process of intelligence gathering by an unusual hybrid of soldier spies who have become the front-line fighters in America's global shadow war. The latest front in that expanding war includes Somalia and Yemen Africa is also the continent in which Australia's latest covert unit, the SAS's 4 Squadron - was operating last year. Officially, the SAS has three squadrons, but in 2005 the Howard government raised a fourth. It's existence has never been acknowledged. The squadron has been operating in Nigeria, Kenya and Zimbabwe, three countries with which Australia is not officially at war.

The spherical object flew from west to east about 8.40pm AEDT. It is the second major piece of space debris to fly across Melbourne skies in a week [link to news.ninemsn.com.au] Low-flying ‘fireball' lights up Melbourne sky March 13, 2012 12:00AM The mysterious object was seen about 8.40PM "This is what I saw in the sky. I thought they were two planets. While taking the photos I saw through the lens the actual bright light exploded into fiery balls, it looked like either a star exploding or the sun exploding but in shades of grey. It was bizarre, they were constantly exploding. I live in Point Cook and saw it towards Werribee Way." “It was very low in the sky, going from west to east, it had a large burning ball at the front with a thin trail behind it,” Paul Zuegn from Roxburgh Park said he thought the object was “heading for Earth”. “I was looking out towards the city and I saw a comet, it was white in colour had a very big trail behind it … I was waiting for it to hit earth, it seemed to be that close,” he said. Michelle Lena said the object split in two as it passed her Blackburn home. “I was amazed, I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “It was very quick, it was over in seconds.” [link to www.heraldsun.com.au] |
