The Arabian Times…

Real World News:
Lawyers for 12 Iraqi families who claim relatives were killed by British troops in Iraq have lodged papers at the High Court in a battle for compensation…The lawyers want an independent inquiry to make the Ministry of Defence accept legal responsibility for the deaths.
US President George W Bush is to appear on Arab TV channels on Wednesday in an attempt to regain trust after US forces were caught in an abuse scandal…Photographs have emerged showing inmates at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad stripped naked and humiliated. Mr. Bush will say the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners is "shameless and unacceptable", his spokesman said. The US military has admitted to 25 deaths in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, including two murders.
An Israeli military court has charged a 15-year-old Palestinian for allegedly recruiting young suicide bombers… The court said Nasser Awartani had personally recruited two teenagers, one who blew himself up at a checkpoint and another who was caught with a bomb. He is alleged to be the key contact between teenagers in the West Bank city of Nablus and two militant groups. He took attackers to have haircuts and helped them travel from place to place undetected, the indictment said. The most highly-publicised attempt that he is alleged to have been involved in was in March, when 16-year-old Hussam Abdo was apprehended wearing a suicide bomb vest at Hawara checkpoint outside Nablus.

International News:
Over the past few weeks, Credonia has been establishing itself as a major player in politics and a widespread user of diplomacy over force. Aside from the recent war in Somalia, which was actually a peacekeeping and humanitarian operation that was successful; Credonia has not been aggressive in its use of military forces. Because of this policy of diplomacy over force, Credonia has accumulated OVER 60 friends, most of whom are allies, and the number continues to grow. More recently, Credonia has used its military force as peacekeepers, most recently in Camewot, to prevent the outbreak of war between the RIA alliance and the nation of Camewot, and also in Allanea, where none of its forces were even used in the conflict to assist allies during a brutal battle in which they were loosing.
Credonia has cutback on the proliferation of its nuclear and biological and chemical weapons, while only creating one new ICBM, the LGM-56B Demonic Fury ICBM tipped with a 25 MT thermonuclear warhead. Only 300 of these have been produced and production has ceased. Credonia will deploy no more than 300 of these missiles at any given time and will be used ONLY as a defensive weapon, which is in line with Credonia's foreign policy on the use of nuclear weapons.

Credonia is still pursuant of the ideal of nuclear disarmament and will list a number of arms reductions below. As Emperor of Credonia, it is my job, my duty, to protect the Credonian people and any allies that my need my help from harm, and in order to do that, we must minimize the threat by being less aggressive, less intimidating, less militaristic, and become more diplomatic, more pacifistic, and more aware of the dangers that lie in the use of military force against enemies. It is for these reasons that I announce a major change in Credonia's military and foreign doctrine regarding the use of military force at home and abroad.
