--------------------------------------------------------------China verhaftet mutmaßlichen US-Spion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(focus) Es ist der größte Spionageskandal zwischen China und den USA seit
fast 30 Jahren. Ein Agent soll als Sekretär eines Vizeministers die
Amerikaner mit Infos aus der wichtigsten Geheimdienstbehörde Chinas
versorgt haben.
Die chinesischen Behörden haben nach
Hongkong einen mutmaßlichen US-Spion
am Freitag (Ortszeit) unter Berufung
soll der Mann einen ranghohen Posten
Peking gehabt haben. Es handelt sich
zwischen den USA und China seit rund
Medienberichten aus den USA und
festgenommen. Wie die „New York Times“
auf informierte Kreise berichtete,
im Ministerium für Staatssicherheit in
um den wohl größten Spionagefall
drei Jahrzehnten.

--------------------------------------------------------------Deutsche U-Boote ohne Atomwaffen an Israel geliefert
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(welt) Die Bundesregierung verteidigt die Lieferung von U-Booten nach
Israel, betont jedoch, dass die Boote unbewaffnet geliefert wurden. Zuvor
wurde bekannt, dass Israel die Boote mit Atomwaffen bestücke.
Berlin verteidigt die umstrittene Lieferung von deutschen U-Booten an
Israel. "Die Bundesregierung steht mit der Lieferung von U-Booten an Israel
in der Kontinuität ihrer Vorgängerregierungen", sagte Regierungssprecher
Steffen Seibert am Sonntag "Spiegel Online". "Die Lieferung erfolgt ohne
Bewaffnung; an Spekulationen über die spätere Bewaffnung beteiligt sich die
Bundesregierung nicht."

--------------------------------------------------------------Egypt's Mubarak sentenced to life, protests erupt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(reuters) Hosni Mubarak, toppled by an uprising last year after 30 years
ruling Egypt, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Saturday for his role
in killing protesters after a trial that sets a precedent for holding
Middle East autocrats to account.
But it was not enough for thousands of Egyptians who poured onto the
streets afterwards in a nation already on edge before a deciding
presidential vote in two weeks. Some wanted Mubarak executed, others feared
the judge's ruling exposed weaknesses in the case that could let the exmilitary strongman off on appeal.

--------------------------------------------------------------Charles Taylor sentenced to 50 years in prison for war crimes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(guardian) Judge at court in The Hague says ex-Liberia president's crimes
were of the 'utmost gravity in scale and brutality'.
Liberia's former president, Charles Taylor, has been sentenced to 50 years
in jail for being "in a class of his own" when committing war crimes during
the long-running civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Judges at a UN-backed tribunal in The Hague said his leadership role and
exploitation of the conflict to extract so-called "blood diamonds" meant he
deserved one of the longest prison sentences handed down so far by the
court.

Eine Woche nach dem Massaker mit mehr als
100 Toten im syrischen Hula hat die USBotschaft in Damaskus im Internet
Satellitenaufnahmen veröffentlicht, die
Massengräber in der Region zeigen sollen.
Auf der Seite der Botschaft im sozialen

Auf der zweiten Aufnahme ist aufgeschüttete Erde zu erkennen, die auf
Massengräber hindeuten könnte. Ein führender US-Geheimdienstmitarbeiter
bestätigte die Authentizität der Satellitenbilder.

--------------------------------------------------------------Barack Obama, der Herrscher über die Todesliste
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(welt) Barack Obama hat den Drohnenkrieg gegen Terroristen intensiviert. Er
behält sich vor, persönlich über Leben und Tod zu entscheiden – zivile
Opfer nimmt er in Kauf. Ein Bericht aus dem Situation Room.
Die Nachrichtendienste haben sie zusammengestellt, die neueste
Feindesliste: 15 Al-Qaida-Verdächtige im Jemen mit Verbindungen in den
Westen. Die Fahndungsfotos und Kurzbiografien erinnern stark an die Seiten
eines Schüler-Jahrbuchs. Einige der Verdächtigen sind sogar Amerikaner.
Zwei weitere sind kaum im Teenageralter, darunter ein Mädchen, das dem
Aussehen nach noch nicht einmal 17 Jahre alt sein dürfte.

Unter anderem sollen künftig 60 Prozent der Flotte dort operieren.

Die USA werden im Rahmen ihrer neuen Verteidigungsstrategie bei der
Stationierung ihrer Kriegsmarine das bisherige Gleichgewicht zwischen dem
Atlantischen und dem Pazifischen Ozean aufgeben und eine Mehrheit der
Kriegsschiffe im Pazifik operieren lassen. Dies erklärte
Verteidigungsminister Panetta am Wochenende in einer Rede an der jährlichen
Asien-Sicherheitskonferenz des Internationalen Instituts für Strategische
Studien (IISS) in Singapur, in welcher er erste Details zur neuen
amerikanischen Verteidigungsstrategie bekannt gab.

--------------------------------------------------------------PACAF releases report on Alaska F-16 squadron move
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(usaf) Pacific Air Forces today released a report on the Air Force's plan
to move people and aircraft associated with the 18th Aggressor Squadron
from Eielson AFB near Fairbanks, Alaska, to Joint Base ElmendorfRichardson, near Anchorage, Alaska.
Pacific Air Forces led a 26-member Site Activation Task Force (SATAF) team
which traveled to both installations in April to study the overall impact
of the F-16 squadron move scheduled for FY13. The team validated that,
after an initial outlay of $5.6 million in FY13, the move will result in
manpower savings of 81 military positions and cost savings of $14.6 million
over the next five years, through a combination of manpower and efficiency
savings generated by consolidating operations and maintenance supervision
overhead and base support functions.

Carter discussed DOD’s budget priorities for the 21st century at the
American Enterprise Institute’s Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies,

Act makes its way through Congress.

--------------------------------------------------------------Secretary of the Navy Names Joint High Speed Vessel USNS Millinocket
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(DOD) The future USNS Millinocket is the first naval vessel to be named in
honor of Millinocket, Maine. Founded in 1901, Millinocket’s main source of
revenue for residents came from working at what was, at the time, the
world’s largest paper mill. During the Great Depression, showing a great
sense of community, mill workers coordinated to reduce the number of hours
individual employees worked, ensuring all employees kept their jobs and
were able to provide for their families.
Last February the USS Stephen W. Groves was decommissioned after almost 30
years of active service. The ship was named for Ensign Stephen W. Groves,
a native of East Millinocket, Maine and a naval aviator who was
posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his brave actions during the Battle
of Midway during World War II.

--------------------------------------------------------------Congress Will Allow Energy Dept to Reclassify Nuke Info
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(fas) Congress is poised to amend the Atomic Energy Act to allow certain
nuclear weapons-related information that is classified as Formerly
Restricted Data (FRD) to be restored to the Restricted Data (RD) category.
FRD and RD are both classified under the Atomic Energy Act, but FRD
generally pertains to the utilization of nuclear weapons, whereas RD mostly
deals with nuclear weapons design information.
Last year, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu wrote to Congress to propose
legislation that would permit moving FRD back into the RD category,
something that is currently not permitted by the Atomic Energy Act, in
order to provide improved security. (Dept of Energy Wants to Reclassify
Some Info as ‘Restricted Data’, Secrecy News, January 17, 2012.)

--------------------------------------------------------------White House Responds to Report on Obama's Role in Targeted Killing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(VOA) The White House responded Tuesday to a major U.S. newspaper report
about President Barack Obama's role in the U.S. war against al-Qaida,
including decisions to place suspected terrorists on a list of people to be
killed.

In a report published Tuesday, The New York Times newspaper said that since
he came to office, Mr. Obama has assumed an unprecedented role in
personally overseeing a "shadow war" against al-Qaida, including making
final decisions whether to place individuals on a "kill list."

--------------------------------------------------------------Obamas Militär 2.0: Der Schattenkrieger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(spiegel) Zehntausende Soldaten am Boden - das ist vorbei. Im Kampf gegen
Amerikas Feinde setzt Barack Obama auf Drohnen, Spezialkommandos und
Cyberwar. Der Präsident steuert den Schattenkrieg persönlich, entscheidet
selbst über Leben und Tod. Eine riskante Strategie.
Manchmal muss John Brennan den US-Präsidenten aus Abendveranstaltungen
herausholen. Oder ihn anrufen, wenn er gerade mit Frau und Töchtern
unterwegs ist. Und manchmal steht Brennan, ein Mann wie ein Schrank,
plötzlich in der Tür zum Oval Office im Weißen Haus. Barack Obama weiß in
diesem Moment, was nun kommt: Er muss über Leben oder Tod entscheiden.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------(gulli) Im Jahr 2014 plant das amerikanische Militär sich aus Afghanistan
zurückzuziehen. Nichtsdestotrotz will man die Überwachung des Landes nicht
vollständig aufgeben. Wie das Online-Magazin Wired berichtet, sollen über
das ganze Staatsgebiet sogenannte „Spy rocks“ verteilt werden. Die kleinen
getarnten Geräte sind in der Lage, Objekte in ihrer Nähe zu registrieren
und entsprechende Vorgänge zu melden.
Bei den „Spy rocks“ handelt es sich um sogenannte „Unattended Ground
Sensors“, sprich unbeaufsichtigte Bodensensoren, die ihre Umgebung auf
Unregelmäßigkeiten überprüfen. So ist ein Modell dazu fähig, Menschen in
Umkreis von rund 800 Metern und Fahrzeuge sogar auf 2.100 Meter Entfernung
zu erkennen. Möglich ist dies durch ihre Ausstattung mit seismischen und
akustischen Sensoren.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------(hintergrund) Wegen Spionage für die USA ist ein früherer Oberst des
russischen Generalstabs in seinem Heimatland zu zwölf Jahren Lagerhaft
verurteilt worden. Der ehemalige Offizier habe mit der Weitergabe von
strategischem Kartenmaterial Landesverrat begangen, entschied ein Gericht
in Moskau am Donnerstag nach Angaben der Agentur Itar-Tass.
Der Mann habe seit 1994 systematisch Dokumente zusammengetragen und sei
nach einem konspirativen Treffen mit US-Agenten in Weißrussland
festgenommen worden, hieß es. Zu Jahresbeginn hatte der damalige russische
Präsident Dmitri Medwedew bekanntgegeben, dass im vergangenen Jahr 41
Spione verhaftet worden seien.

“As for arms supplies, Russia is not supplying arms that could be used in
civil conflicts,” Putin said during a joint news conference with German
Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Friday.

--------------------------------------------------------------Report: Obama Knew of Cyber Attacks on Iran
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(VOA) A prominent U.S. newspaper says U.S. President Barack Obama has been
orchestrating secret, sophisticated cyber attacks on Iran's main nuclear
facility.
The New York Times cited anonymous sources close to the program who said
the order - given just after Obama took office in January 2009 - was a
major expansion of America's cyberweapons program.
The Times reports the cyber attack program began under former president
George W. Bush, who encouraged Obama to keep it going, and the new
president did so.

The latest negotiating session, bringing together representatives from the
United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and Iran, was held

of its illegal activities in Parchin military site, calling the allegations
as baseless.
Soltaniyeh made the remarks in a meeting with some press reporters after a
briefing at an IAEA technical meeting.
“Third parties should not interfere in Iran and IAEA technical cooperation
to resolve the nuclear issue; this kind of noise and allegations are
baseless,” the envoy underlined.

Iran has sent its troops to help the regime of embattled Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad fight opposition forces.
“Before our presence in Syria, too many people were killed by the
opposition but with the physical and non-physical presence of the Islamic
republic, big massacres in Syria were prevented,” Ismail Gha’ani, the
deputy head of Iran’s Quds force, a shadowy branch of the Revolutionary
Guards in charge of overseas operations, said in an interview with the
semi-official Iranian Student’s News Agency (ISNA), according to a report
by the Persian-language GozaraNews website.

If all other ways to resolve the crisis fail, the world nations will have
to decide whether they are ready to act “outside of the authority of this
Council,” Rice told journalists after a closed Council meeting in New York.

Syria, prompting one diplomat to call the current situation a "low point in
the conflict."
After Wednesday's closed briefing, Germany's ambassador to the United
Nations, Peter Wittig, told reporters that he hoped the "flagrant
violations" like the recent massacre in Houla was an "eye opener for some
members of the council." He added that Germany is "against the
militarization of the conflict."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------(VOA) STATE DEPARTMENT - The United States is expelling Syria's most senior
envoy in Washington over what it says is the Syrian government's
responsibility for last week's massacre in the village of Houla. U.N.
observers confirm the deaths of more than 90 people in Houla, including
several families who appear to have been executed in their homes.
State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says Syrian Charge d’Affaires
Zuheir Jabbour has 72 hours to leave the United States. "We took this
action in response to the massacre in the village of Houla - absolutely
indefensible, vile, despicable massacre - against innocent children, women,
shot at point-blank range by regime thugs, the Shabiha, aided and abetted
by the Iranians, who were actually bragging about it over the weekend," she
said.

--------------------------------------------------------------Briefing: Ruptures and repercussions in Mali
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(irin) While both African and European leaders continue to warn against
partition in Mali, the rival movements backing a new, independent state in
the north of the country have failed to follow through on a joint agreement
to form the Islamic Republic of Azawad, leaving the project uncertain and
raising suspicions that their show of unity masked deep divisions.
The Tuareg-dominated National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA)
was reported to have signed an agreement with the Islamic Ansar Dine
movement in the northern city of Gao on 25 May. But in the days that
followed, contradictory briefings, interviews and communiqués from both
sides have suggested the document prepared after three weeks of talks was
at best preliminary, with disagreements resurfacing as a final communiqué
was worked on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------(irin) Contrary to widespread expectations and public pronouncements, the
Ugandan government has pulled the plug on controversial legislation which
since 2000 has granted blanket amnesty to more than 26,000 members of armed
groups, most notably the notorious Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
The Act was passed as part of efforts to end hostilities in northern Uganda
and bring the LRA to the negotiating table. Over the following six years,
several detailed accords were drawn up but LRA leader Joseph Kony
repeatedly refused to sign a comprehensive peace agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------(un) The latest outbreak of violence in the east of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (DRC) has displaced more than 40,000 people, the United
Nations refugee agency said today, adding that the distribution of relief
items will soon commence among those uprooted, with most of them having
sought shelter in schools and churches.
According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugee (UNHCR),
most of the population displacement in the volatile North Kivu province is
taking place in Rutshuru territory, north of the provincial capital, Goma.

--------------------------------------------------------------Wie Spionagewurm Flame Experten jahrelang narren konnte
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(derstandard) F-Secure-Experte: "spektakuläres Versagen für gesamte
Antiviren-Branche"
Obwohl erst kürzlich entdeckt, ist der Spionagewurm Flame keine
Neuentwicklung im Areal der Cyberwaffen. Tatsächlich blieb der Wurm
jahrelang unentdeckt und foppte Sicherheitssoftware wie
Sicherheitsexperten. Mikko Hypponen von F-Secure erhielt die ersten
Versionen des Wurms bereits im Jahr 2010, ohne zu erkennen, was tatsächlich
dahinter steckt.
"Spektakuläres Versagen"
- 27 -
Neben Flame blieben auch Stuxnet und Duqu längere Zeit unbemerkt, obwohl
die Malware mehreren Antiviren-Firmen bereits früh zur Analyse vorlag. "Das
ist ein spektakuläres Versagen für unser Unternehmen und für die gesamte
Antiviren-Branche", zieht Hypponen in einem Kommentar für Wired Fazit.

--------------------------------------------------------------Der Spion aus dem Internet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(suedkurier) Russische IT-Experten
bezeichnen ihn als machtvollsten ComputerVirus, den sie je gesehen haben: Das
Sabotageprogramm Flame. Das russische
Antivirus-Unternehmen Kaspersky Lab hat das
Virus entdeckt.
Offenbar spioniert der Schädling seit über
drei Jahren Computeranwender und Netzwerke
im Iran, Nahen Osten und Nordafrika aus.
„Die Komplexität und Funktionalität von
Flame übersteigt alle bislang bekannten Cyber-Bedrohungen“, sagt FirmenChef Eugene Kaspersky.
Der Computerschädling, der für Windows-PCs entwickelt wurde, ist mit 20
Megabyte vergleichsweise groß. Er besteht aus 20 einzelnen SoftwareModulen. Die Flame-Entwickler haben ihr Schadprogramm mit einer NachladeOption ausgestattet, so dass der Schädling ständig um weitere Funktionen
ausgebaut werden kann.

--------------------------------------------------------------Diplomaten-Depeschen von Wikileaks - Die CIA als Kronzeugin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(taz) Viele der von Wikileaks veröffentlichten Depeschen enthalten
brisante, aber getarnte Informationen der CIA. Eine taz-Recherche offenbart
nun den Tarnnamen des Geheimdienstes.
Diplomaten haben nicht den Ruf, gute Entertainer zu sein. Mit Grund. Sie
versinken gern in nichtssagenden diplomatischen Floskeln und scheuen klare
Meinungen. Doch dass sie auch anders können, haben die inzwischen
legendären diplomatischen Depeschen gezeigt, die Wikileaks Ende 2010
veröffentlicht hat.
Tausende der internen Dokumente beweisen, dass amerikanische
Botschaftsvertreter durchaus die Fähigkeit haben, unverblümt die Wahrheit
zu sagen. Auch wenn es um Politiker in den Ländern geht, in denen sie
gerade arbeiten.
Ein Beispiel hierfür ist der ehemalige amerikanische Botschaft in
Bulgarien, John Beyrle. In einer als geheim eingestuften Wikileaks-Depesche
(b) schreibt der Karrierediplomat nach Washington, dass Sofias
Bürgermeister Boiko Borisov „in schwerwiegende kriminelle Aktivitäten"
verwickelt sei. Ein spannendes Urteil für Bulgarien. Denn Boiko Borisov ist
heute Ministerpräsident des Landes.

inländische Webseiten auf sogenannte Spy- und Tracking-Dienste.
Kritiker unterstellen Polizei und Justiz seit einigen Jahren schon
überschießende Neugier beim Beobachten des Kommunikationsverhaltens der
Bürger. Oftmals zu Recht, manchmal auch nicht. Fast vollkommen ausgespart
blieb bisher jedoch der private Sektor. Nun stellt sich heraus:
Österreichische Webseiten spähen von der Öffentlichkeit praktisch unbemerkt
das Surf-Verhalten von Millionen Internetnutzern aus und machen sich – ob
absichtlich oder nicht – zu Handlangern von Datenhändlern.

identifizierte, ist tot. Zvi Aharoni starb am Samstag im Alter von 91
Jahren, wie israelische Medien am Montag berichteten.
Der 1921 in Deutschland geborenen Aharoni gehörte 20 Jahre lang dem
Geheimdienst Mossad an. 1960 entführte der Mossad Eichmann, der in
Argentinien unter dem Namen Ricardo Klement lebte, nach Israel. Aharoni war
Fahrer des Entführungsfahrzeugs. Ihm gegenüber gab Eichmann sich erstmals
als der Gesuchte zu erkennen.

--------------------------------------------------------------Instead of Ramping Up, Declassification Activity Slowed in 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(fas) The total number of pages of government records that were reviewed
for declassification last year, as well as the number that were actually
declassified, declined slightly from the year before, according to the 2011
annual report (b) from the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO)
that was published today.
Not only is this trend line unfavorable in itself, it also means that the
goal set by President Obama of reviewing the entire backlog of 25 year old
historical records awaiting declassification by December 2013 is out of
reach and will not be achieved. [Update: This is not quite correct, since
most of the backlog that needs to be processed for release does not require
"review." Only a subset of the backlog is being referred to agencies for
review.]

--------------------------------------------------------------Declassification of the Historical Backlog – A Correction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(fas) Secrecy News stated yesterday that the decline in the number of pages
reviewed for declassification last year (as reported by the Information
Security Oversight Office) means that the goal set by President Obama of
reviewing the entire backlog of 25 year old historical records by December
2013 will not be achieved.
But that is not correct, an Archives official said. Progress in reducing
the backlog is independent of progress in conducting declassification
review since only a fraction of the hundreds of millions of pages of
backlogged records require formal declassification “review.” (In theory,
at least, most of them have already been “reviewed,” and reported as such
in previous ISOO reports).

regarding domestic intelligence surveillance has produced no declassified
records, a Justice Department official confirmed last week.
In response to complaints about the rise of “secret law,” (b) the Justice
Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
established a new process in 2010 to declassify opinions of the FISA Courts
(including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as well as the FIS
Court of Review) that contained “important rulings of law.”

--------------------------------------------------------------Das braune Exil in Argentinien
--------------------------------------------------------------------------(amerika21) Wie Adolf Eichmann und andere
Naziverbrecher sich über die "Rattenlinie" nach
Südamerika absetzten
Nach der Gründung der Bundesrepublik setzte eine wahre
Völkerwanderung nach Südamerika ein. Über die
sogenannte Rattenlinie flohen Tausende Nazis mit Hilfe
des Vatikans und des Roten Kreuzes über Genua nach
Argentinien. Viele setzten sich auch über
skandinavische Länder ab. Diese Fluchtbewegungen
konnten an den Alliierten nicht vorbeigegangen sein.
Das Nazi-Exil jonglierte zwischen Ost und West, war
Teil des Kalten Krieges, der auch in den entlegensten
Winkeln des Planeten ausgetragen wurde. Die
geflüchteten SS-Leute dienten sich in diesem Machtkampf
allen Seiten als Experten an, aus Gründen der eigenen
Sicherheit und aus Gründen des finanziellen Überlebens. Die
Kriegsverbrechen des Zweiten Weltkrieges waren kein Thema, in Argentinien
am wenigsten.

Spione unter See - Das Geheimnis der verschollenen U-Boote
Dokumentation
Dauer: 50 min 89
Beschreibung: Im Kalten Krieg kämpften die USA und Sowjetunion auch um die
Vorherrschaft unter See. U-Boote wurden entwickelt und in gegnerischen
Gewässern eingesetzt. Sie wurden auf dem Meeresboden observiert und
fungierten als Spionage-U-Boote. Das Wettrüsten kostete unzählige
Menschenleben. Neun der U-Boote sind auf rätselhafte Weise in den Tiefen
der Ozeane verschwunden.
SPIEGEL TV SPECIAL dokumentiert das Wettrüsten unter See und die Suche nach
den verschollen Untersee-Booten des Kalten Krieges.
