Russian jets in Syria mean no-fly zone is 'out of the question', warn experts
Russia’s deployment of jet fighters in Syria has effectively destroyed the West’s option of imposing a “no-fly zone” over the country, experts have warned, as the British Defence Secretary said the intervention risked deepening the crisis. The Kremlin’s operation in Syria amounts to the biggest deployment of Russian forces outside the former Soviet Union since the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989.

Archaeologist thinks he has found the graves of Americans massacred in 1857Seated at the Kremlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Vladimir Putin smiled and shook hands. At a follow-up media briefing, the Israeli leader announced a deal to avoid hostilities between their militaries in and around Syria.

The church, which didn't completely acknowledge its role in the tragedy until 2007, erected a monument in honor of the victims at a site 1,000 or more feet away from the newly discovered stone sepulchers.
