1. Chavez orders Britain to 'give Falklands back'

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez demanded yesterday that Britain return the Falkland Islands to Argentina.
He used his weekly television show 'Alo Presidente' (Hello President) to rally Latin America behind his Argentine counterpart, Cristina Kirchner.
"Look, England, how long are you going to be in Las Malvinas' Queen of England, I'm talking to you," said Mr Chavez.
"The time for empires is over, haven't you noticed' If conflict breaks out . . . Argentina will not be alone like it was back then."
Argentine anger is likely to increase after Desire Petroleum, the company that has towed a rig from Scotland to Falkland waters, announced yesterday it had begun drilling.
Argentina is attempting to hamper oil exploration, and insisted last week that all vessels using its ports must now seek permission if they plan to enter or leave British-controlled waters. (Daily Telegraph, London)

Extract:
ONE of the six 'Irish' suspects in the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai changed her hair colour while on the mission, new video footage reveals.
The suspect, who used the name Ivy Brinton and had a false Irish passport, can be seen sporting both dark and blonde hair in the footage released by authorities in the United Arab Emirates yesterday.
The footage, from the hotel where Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed last month, reveals how the suspect either dyed her hair or wore a wig in an effort to conceal her identity -- going blonde halfway through the mission.
It shows her accompanied by another suspect, who used the name Chester Halvey and also travelled on a forged Irish passport.
A third suspect who used a false Irish passport was also shown on footage released yesterday. The woman, using the name Anna Shauna Clasby, was filmed leaving the hotel, the Jumeirah Emirates Towers, on the day of the killing.
The release of the footage and other information by the Dubai authorities has cranked up international pressure on Israel over the assassination.
Dubai's police chief Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim says he believes the Israeli secret service Mossad was responsible. Israel has refused to confirm or deny involvement.
Forged British, French, German and Australian passports were also used by the suspects.
Australia yesterday summoned its Israeli ambassador to a meeting to explain the affair.
The operation to kill Mr al-Mabhouh came just five years after an Israeli diplomat was expelled from Australia after a Mossad operation to fraudulently obtain Australian and New Zealand passports was uncovered.
At the time of his murder, Mr al-Mabhouh was wanted by the Israeli, Egyptian and Jordanian governments. He died after being electrocuted with a stun gun and smothered to death with a pillow.
Dubai police believe he was followed to his hotel room by members of the assassination squad wearing fake beards, wigs and other disguises.
Authorities did not know he had been murdered until after a post-mortem examination.

5. Israel is accused of waging covert war across the Middle East

Extracts:
Israel is waging a covert assassination campaign across the Middle East in an effort to stop its key enemies co-ordinating their activities.
Israeli agents have been targeting meetings between members of Hamas and the leadership of the militant Hezbollah group, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
They are also suspected of recent killings in Dubai, Damascus and Beirut. While Israel's Mossad spy agency has been suspected of staging assassinations across the world since the 1970s, it does not officially acknowledge or admit its activities.
The current spate of killings began in December when a 'tourist bus' carrying Iranian officials and Hamas members exploded outside Damascus. The official report by Syria claimed that a tyre had exploded but photographs surfaced showing the charred remains of the vehicle ' prompting speculation that a much larger explosion had taken place.
Several weeks later a meeting between members of Hamas, which controls Gaza, and their counterparts from Hezbollah in its southern Beirut stronghold in Lebanon was also attacked, resulting in several deaths.
Hamas had sought to cover up the incidents because it was embarrassed, a senior Palestinian official in Ramallah told The Times.
'There has been growing co-operation between Gaza and Iran. Israel can read the writing on the wall and they know that with the help of Iran, the Hamas Government in Gaza will become stronger and will fight better.
Under the current Mossad chief, Meir Dagan, Israel is believed to have renewed efforts to kill high-level opponents. Only months after the former paratrooper assumed leadership of the intelligence service in October 2002, senior Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon began to be targeted. He was credited with ordering the killing of two relatively senior Hezbollah members who were killed in southern Beirut in July 2003 and August 2004.
More recently, Israel has been accused of planting a car bomb in Damascus that killed the top Hezbollah leader Imad Mughniyah in February 2008. The Israeli Cabinet minister Daniel Herschkowitz last week praised the Mossad chief as one of the agency's most successful leaders.
When asked about Mossad's involvement in the Dubai slaying, Eli Yishai, the Interior Minister, smiled and said: 'All the security services make, thank God, great efforts to safeguard the security of the state of Israel.'
While some countries are questioning whether Israel isn't taking credit to increase the reputation of its defence establishment, other moderate Arab States are now describing the assassinations as a 'covert war' between Israel and Hamas.
Diplomats said they were aware that covert Israeli operations had increased. 'We watch their comings and goings; we are aware that there is more activity both on our ground and other countries in the region,' said an Egyptian diplomat. 'They are trying to embroil us all in their conflict.'
Tensions between Israel and Hamas have remained high, despite the relative quiet that has ensued since the end of Israel's offensive in Gaza last winter. Israeli troops were placed on alert yesterday after intelligence suggested that Hamas planned to abduct soldiers. Israel said this week that it had foiled a kidnapping in December by arresting the Hamas operative Slaman Abu Atik on the Israeli-Gaza border. He planned to enter Israel via Egypt, said the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service.
