US Navy rescues Iranian fishing boat from pirates

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Just days after Iranian leaders warned the U.S. to keeps its aircraft carriers out of the Persian Gulf, a U.S. Navy ship that had just finished operations in the Gulf rescued an Iranian fishing boat that had been commandeered by suspected Somali pirates.

U.S. Navy officials said that American forces flying off the guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd responded to a distress call from the Iranian ship, the Al Molai, which had been held captive by pirates for more than 40 days.

A U.S. Navy team boarded the ship Thursday and detained 15 pirates who had been holding the 13-member Iranian crew hostage and were using the vessel as a "mother ship" for pirating operations in the Persian Gulf.

RFK's grandson may run for Congress

Joe Kennedy III exploring Mass. run for Congress

http://www.chron.com/news/article/Joe-Kennedy-III-exploring-Mass-run-for-Congress-2443211.php

WASHINGTON (AP) — Another member of the Kennedy family moved closer to entering the political arena on Thursday, as Joseph Kennedy III announced he was forming an exploratory committee as a first step toward a run for the U.S. House.

Kennedy, 31, is the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II and a grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy. He said he planned to meet with residents of Massachusetts' 4th Congressional District before making a final decision on whether to seek the seat held by retiring Democratic Rep. Barney Frank. Party officials fully expect Kennedy to be a candidate.

Citizen Journalist killed in Syria

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/12/29/144448779/basil-al-sayed-who-chronicled-the-syrian-uprising-is-dead?ps=cprs

Basil Al-Sayed, Who Chronicled The Syrian Uprising, Is Dead

?t=1325194809&s=3

"Foreign journalists have been mostly banned from entering Syria since a popular uprising against the rule of President Bashar Assad began in the country 10 months ago. In many cases, the videos uploaded to YouTube by citizen journalists have been the only way for the outside world to see the clashes that have cost more than 5,000 people their lives in Syria."
