Controversial Muslim cleric caught being smuggled into U.S. over Mexico border
U.S. border guards got a surprise when they searched a Mexican BMW and found a hardline Muslim cleric - banned from France and Canada - curled up in the boot.
Said Jaziri, who called for the death of a Danish cartoonist that drew pictures of the prophet Mohammed, was being smuggled into California when he was arrested, along with his driver Kenneth Robert Lawler.
The 43-year-old was deported from Canada to his homeland Tunisia in 2007 after it emerged he had lied on his refugee application about having served jail time in France.

President Mubarak of Egypt resigned, whereby the Egyptian military assumed power. The question remains how long will the Egyptian military maintain that power amidst a transition. And if the Muslim Brotherhood will push for a more Islamic state.
CAIRO – Egypt exploded with joy, tears, and relief after President Hosni Mubarak resigned as president, forced out by 18 days of mass protests that culminated in huge marches Friday on his presidential palaces and state television. The military took power after protesters called for it to intervene and oust their leader of three decades.
And this ominous correlation...
His fall came 32 years to the day after the collapse of the shah's government in Iran.
WASHINGTON – Caught up in stunning news like the rest of the world, President Barack Obama was in an Oval Office meeting Friday when he learned of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation. He watched the celebration on television and prepared to make an afternoon statement. |

GPS enabled iPhone record your locations to a secret file for a year.
Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.
Researchers have set up a way for your to check the data on your iPhone.
Warden and Allan have set up a web page which answers questions about the file, and created a simple downloadable application to let Apple users check for themselves what location data the phone is retaining. The Guardian has confirmed that 3G-enabled devices including the iPad also retain the data and copy it to the owner's computer.

The Middle East roils and burn on multiple fronts, creating a vortex in which Israel will come under increased pressure.
Bashir Assad may be soon claiming a victory over the uprising but I believe that he's only tamped down burning embers. The recent murder and torture of a 13 year old boy - with beatings and cigarette burns - has given a face to the uprising and the brutal repression.
Yemen, however, is breaking apart at the seams with a huge civil war looming. The Yemeni President decided to attack a prominent tribal chief. Bad move.
With Washington lacking any influence over the conflict’s actors, all it can do is sit back and watch as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and other Islamist militants extend their influence in tribal regions where military units have abandoned their posts and left their weapons stores exposed to looters.
