Some American officials and outside experts believe it could take years for a spy agency that has evolved into a paramilitary service to rebalance its activities.
.
…under a new plan outlined by the Obama administration on Thursday, the Counterterrorism Center over time would cease to be the hub of America’s targeted killing operations in Pakistan, Yemen and other places…
Fighting intensified in the northern city of Tripoli after talks to reach a cease-fire failed Wednesday, as the casualty toll from four consecutive days of fighting rose to 14 dead and more than 100 wounded.
Clashes were still raging in the city well into the night. Mediation attempts to put a cease-fire into place between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen failed, and the partial calm of Wednesday afternoon was shattered with a new round of clashes.
Minutes after a rocket fell on the Nashabe Mosque on Syria Street separating the two neighborhoods, snipers repositioned themselves and a fresh round of fighting erupted…

Salon: “Father of man shot in Boston probe shares regrets”, May 23 2013
“Rioters have lit fires and stoned emergency services in the suburbs of Stockholm for the third night in a row after a man was shot dead by police. Incidents were reported in at least nine suburbs of the Swedish capital and police made eight arrests. On Sunday night, more than 100 cars were set alight, Swedish media report.”
Incidents were reported in at least nine suburbs of the Swedish capital and police made eight arrests.
On Sunday night, more than 100 cars were set alight, Swedish media report.
Police in the deprived, largely immigrant suburb of Husby shot a man dead last week after he reportedly threatened to kill them with a machete.
The founder of a local youth group told Swedish media the riots were a reaction to “police brutality”.
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told reporters on Tuesday that Sweden would not be intimidated by rioters.

Our new ally Russia, who fed Obama all the cooked intelligence he wanted after the Marathon bombing, is overdue on it’s payback for allowing the West to use it’s land routes to Afghanistan instead of “Sniper Alley”, also know as the Khyber Pass.
We’ll help the Russians go ‘energy independent’ by allowing them to turn Chechnya into fracking gravel without complaining to the UN at all. Not to mention wiping out anyone currently in the West from Chechnya who might return to resist that.
More from NBC News:
Todashev, they say, had spent some time in the Boston area, where he was a mixed martial arts fighter, and knew Tsarnaev there. Investigators say he confessed (undoubtedly under incredible pressure -RR) to the agent in Florida that he played a role in a triple murder in 2011 in which three men were discovered slain in an apartment in Waltham, Mass.
Their throats had been cut, and their bodies were covered with marijuana. No suspects had been arrested in that case
Officials say FBI agents were questioning Todashev on Tuesday. He was cooperative at first, they say, but later that night, he attacked the agent with a knife, who shot and killed him. Officials say Todashev became violent as he was about to sign a written statement based on his (can you say “Forced”… -RR) confession.
