US Marines Refuse to Undertake Missions with "Robotic Mules".

WASHINGTON - United States marines have refused to go on military missions with the famous "robotic mules," designed by a Google-owned company and Pentagon with the objective of carrying heavy material for the army

.

The marines do not want to go to battlefields with the robotic mules - a four legged robot capable of carrying almost 200 kg (441 pounds) - as they make "too much noise," making them incompatible with military discretion, according to the magazine Military.com Tuesday.

"As Marines were using it, there was the challenge of seeing the potential possibility because of the limitations of the robot itself. They took it as it was: a loud robot that's going to give away their position," said Marines spokesperson Kyle Olson.

In 2012, the Pentagon announced having designed the robotic mule with a carrying capacity of up to 180 kg (397 pounds) and with an ability to recharge batteries of radios and electronic military devices.

The robotic mule LS3 had been tested in different types of terrain that can be encountered during combat and also in different weather conditions including snow and rain. 

Three Cops Gunned Down by Fellow Officer at station

SAN JUAN – Three police, two of them women, were shot and killed Monday in Puerto Rico by a fellow officer during a heated argument at the Police Command in Ponce, a city on the south side of the Caribbean island.

Police reported that Lieut. Luz Soto, Maj. Frank Roman and patrolwoman Rosario Hernandez were gunned down by Candelario Rivera, a fellow officer stationed at the Ponce Police Command, in circumstances still under investigation.

The building where the Ponce Police Command is located was evacuated for security reasons after Rivera said he had planted an explosive device inside.

Explosive Division agents carried out an inspection of the building and of Rivera’s car.

Puerto Rican Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla visited the scene to find out in person what had happened.

Rivera, who was presumably on sick leave, was arrested immediately after the shooting and his two guns were seized.

The cop in custody was taken to the Ponce Drugs Division before being admitted to a nearby hospital.

Young woman commits suicide in Iran by jumping off bridge

NCRI – A young Iranian woman committed suicide on Monday by jumping off a bridge in Tehran.

The woman was not identified by name, but the regime’s state media reported that she was 25 years old.

She took her life at 11.20 am by jumping off the 10-meter-heigh pedestrian bridge in Tehran’s Resalat Square.

In another case of suicide, two girls who had been discharged from a girls’ social welfare center in East Azerbaijan Province, north-west Iran, on Friday attempted to take their lives. One of the girls Rava was saved by medics in a hospital in the city of Tabriz while Paria died due to her injuries, the regime’s state news agency IRNA said.

In a separate development, a 45-year-old man on Sunday doused himself with petrol and set himself on fire in a public square in the city of Shush, western Iran.

Poverty, deprivation and suppression in Iran under the mullahs’ regime have driven some people, in particular women and girls, to the point of taking their own lives.

Numerous cases of self-immolation in Iran in recent months have drawn special attention, including the cases of Omid Rashedi, 36, from the south-western city of Ahwaz; Mansour Keyhani, a retired teacher from Sanghar, western Iran; Ali Akbari, 45, a laborer from Tehran; Hamid Farokhi, 43, a street vendor from Tabriz, north-west Iran; and Youness Asakareh, 31, a laborer from Khorramshahr, south-western Iran. In all these cases, the self-immolations had an element of protest against the mullahs' regime.

On average, 11 people commit suicide in Iran every day, the equivalent of three in every 100,000 people,according to the website of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

Iranian laborers in particular are suffering from poverty, hunger and unemployment while Iran’s great wealth is spent on domestic suppression, antinationalistic polices of export of terrorism and warmongering in the region, and weapons of mass destruction projects or is plundered by the regime’s officials.

As long as the mullahs’ regime is in power, suppression, poverty, hunger, prostitution and addiction will continue in Iran. The sole solution to end such tyranny and oppression is to topple the antihuman regime of the mullahs and establish democracy in Iran.

Two Israelis arrested for flying drone over Vatican

Two Israeli citizens have been detained by police in Rome for allegedly flying a drone over the Vatican, reports The Local in Italian.

Airspace over the capital was declared a no-drone zone at the start of the jubilee year declared earlier this month by Pope Francis, over fears remote-controlled aircraft could be used in a terrorist attack.

Police patrolling the Vatican area spotted the drone, which contained a high resolution camera, flying over the Tiber River and St Peter’s Square on Sunday morning, Roma Today reported.

The police reportedly found the men on a bridge near St Peter’s. One of them was holding the drone’s remote control.

The men were taken to questioning and will likely face charges for violating the drone ban.

Security forces have been put on high alert due to fears of jihadist attacks like the Paris massacre of November 13.
