 Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki on Saturday called a new UN sanctions resolution against Iran unlawful and unjustified in an address to the UN Security Council. The Security Council's 15 members unanimously adopted a resolution on Saturday expanding the sanctions imposed on Iran in December for refusing to freeze its uranium enrichment program. "This is the fourth time in the last 12 months that in an unwarranted move orchestrated by a few of its permanent members, the Security Council is being abused to take an unlawful, unnecessary and unjustifiable action against the peaceful nuclear program of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Mottaki told the Council.Be first to comment this article |

 The town of Qana has become synonymous with Lebanon's tragedy. Believed to be the site where Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine, the town has earned infamy for two massacres of children 10 years apart. The first attack came in 1996, when Israel bombed a UN base sheltering 800 people - most of them children. Over 100 children were killed or maimed. The second massacre was during last year's war on Lebanon. A rocket hit a house where several families had taken shelter in the basement. It collapsed burying the children in rubble. Seventeen were killed. The images of children being carried from the rubble, looking as though they were sleeping, horrified the world.Be first to comment this article |

Lawyers who worked on a six-month court martial, which is reported to have cost £20 million, say they fear it failed to get to the truth. An army whistleblower describes the investigation as "appalling". Only one of seven soldiers who were charged has been convicted of inhumane treatment.
