New York - 2 police officers killed - execution style sitting in car
Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead — execution style — as they sat in their marked police car on a Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, street corner.
According to preliminary reports, both officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank by a single gunman who approached their car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues.
“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source told The Post of the 3 p.m. shooting.
The gunman just started “pumping bullets” into the patrol car, another source said.
The suspected gunman fled to a nearby subway station at Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, where he was fatally shot. Preliminary reports were unclear on whether he was shot by police or his own hand.
“They engaged the guy and he did himself,” one investigator said.
“I heard shooting, — four or five shots,” ear-witness Derrick McKie, 49, told The Post.
“It sounded like from a single gun,” he said. Ambulances and police cars rushed to the scene, he said.
“I saw an officer being put on a stretcher,” he said. “There was lots of chaos and confusion.”
Carmen Jimenez, 32, a social worker from Bedford-Stuyvesant, was on the subway platform when the gunman ran inside, pursued by officers.
“Everything happened so quick,” said Jimenez, who is eight months pregnant. “We were standing waiting for the G train. We heard arguing from the other end of the platform.
It looked like two cops came in there was lots of yelling and they said, ‘Everybody get down.’
“We tried to get out of there, and there was a lot of shouting, people were screaming, people were trying to run.
“I threw myself on the floor. I was afraid for my life and afraid for my baby.”
Maryam Rajavi: Iran regime's human rights dossier must be referred to UNSC
NCRI - Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described the 61st resolution condemning the brutal and systematic violation of human rights in Iran adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18, 2014, as another decisive document on illegitimacy of having economic and political relationship with the ruling clerical regime in Iran and added: "This resolution leaves no doubt that the regime's appalling human rights record must be referred to the Security Council for binding and preventive measures, and those responsible for 120,000 political executions must be brought to justice."
Mrs. Rajavi said: “While the religious tyranny has consistently defied 61 adopted resolutions by various United Nations bodies, the international community must take binding measures vis-à-vis the increasing number of executions and brutal and systematic violation of human rights in Iran. This regime, not only in terms of the number of executions, but in most areas is a record holder for the most repressive actions in today’s world. Therefore, mentioning a portion of these crimes that are mentioned in today’s resolution is not enough at all. The General Assembly should have demanded the referral of the crimes of the clerical regime to the International Criminal Court by the UN Security Council, as it did in its December 18 resolution about North Korea.”
Rajavi said: “While according to this resolution the mullahs have spared no field in the lives of the Iranian people from repression, crime, control and harassment, the P5+1 in their nuclear negotiations with the regime must end silence on human rights violation in Iran. Silence on unabated torture and execution in Iran, and silence and inaction on forcible displacement of Ashraf residents and making Camp Liberty a prison, and in one word sacrificing human rights, freedom and the Iranian resistance that the Western governments had adopted, is a shameful failed policy that has led to emboldening the regime in its bomb making program and aggressive policies in the region.”
She stressed as lomg as the mullahs are not held accountable for the violation of human rights in increasing executions,
She emphasized that as long as the mullahs are not held accountable for human rights violations and increasing executions, they will abandon neither the production of nuclear weapons nor terrorism and domination in the Middle East.

Iran is ‘inflexible’ in nuclear talks, Britain and France say
The Iranian regime has not been flexible enough in talks with the West aimed at halting the regime's project to build a nuclear bomb, officials from Britain and France said this week.
The criticism of Iran's stance at the end of another round of negotiations between the regime and officials from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China.
Senior French diplomat Philippe Bertoux told the UN Security Council: "In spite of insufficient flexibility demonstrated at this stage by Iranian negotiators, we'd like to believe that Iran does seek a long-term agreement.
"We would expect that Iran takes strategic choices and courageous decisions in upcoming rounds of negotiations."
Senior British diplomat Michael Tatham also urging Iran to be more flexible in the next round of negotiations.
Western officials say Iran has not compromised on major sticking points in the talks, including the size and scope of its future uranium enrichment program and the speed of ending sanctions.
Deputy US Ambassador David Pressman said: "While we continue to believe that the best way to achieve our goals is thorough diplomacy, we are not going to sit at the negotiating table forever."
He said the UN Security Council's sanctions committee should continue monitoring the implementation of UN sanctions, and referred to a recent report by the Iran Panel of Experts which said Tehran was continuing to skirt the sanctions.
Mr Pressman added: "We know that Iran is still trying to procure sensitive technology. We know Iran is still smuggling arms in violation of the UN arms embargo on it."
Iran , China, and Russia may have played a role in " Sony hacking "
Iran may played a role in a recent hacking attack at Sony Pictures Entertainment after the company released a film about the fictional assassination of North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un.
The FBI believes the Iranian regime, as well as China or Russia, could have provided the highly sophisticated malware that corrupted Sony's computers, an intelligence source said.
There was also no evidence of a forced entry into the Sony systems, pointing to an insider threat or stolen credentials, and emails sent to Sony included blackmail demands unrelated to the movie, the source added.
And US officials said the attack originated outside North Korea, but believe the individuals behind it were acting on orders from the North Korean government.
US State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "Given the destructive efforts or effects of this attack, we're treating this as a national security matter, and as such, members of the president's national security team have been in regular meetings regarding this attack."
The White House has also declined to directly blame North Korea for the attack, though Press Secretary Josh Earnest referred to the incident as a 'serious national security matter'.
