Iran unveils ‘ambassador of death’ bomber

This photo released by the Iranian Defense Ministry, reportedly shows a launch of the Karrar drone aircraft, which Iran says is the country’s first domestically-built, long-range, unmanned bomber aircraft. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday called it an “ambassador of death” to Iran’s enemies.

The president championed the country’s military self-sufficiency program and said it will continue “until the enemies of humanity lose hope of ever attacking the Iranian nation.”

The 4-meter-long unmanned plane,

was inaugurated on the national day for the country’s defense industry in a ceremony aired live on state TV.

“We should reach a point when Iran would serve as a defense umbrella for all freedom-loving nations in the face of world aggressors. We don’t want to attack anywhere — Iran will never decide to attack anywhere — but our revolution cannot sit idle in the face of tyranny. We can’t remain indifferent.”

Web hunt for girl caught in horror video throwing live puppies into a river

A disturbing video has appeared online which appears to show a young woman throwing live puppies into a river.

In the clip, which has sparked outrage on video sharing and social networking websites, the woman picks up what appear to be wriggling puppies from a bucket before hurling them into the fast-flowing water.

The woman, who wears a red hoodie in the video, has since become the target of an online campaign by animal lovers who want to unmask her.

Wearing a red hoodie, the woman appears almost gleeful during the clip

‘Video-sharing sites have unfortunately allowed uncaring individuals to publicise cruelty they inflict on animals.

‘We’re making sure that local activists in Croatia are aware of this horrible situation.’

A tiny bundle is hurled across the water before presumably drowning

Users of the image forum 4chan, who recently identified a British woman who dumped a cat into a wheelie bin, today turned their sights on the woman throwing the puppies.
