WASHINGTON The United States on Tuesday defended drone strikes targeting al Qaeda operatives and others it deems enemies, rejecting reports by two human-rights groups questioning the legality of strikes they asserted have killed or wounded scores of civilians in Yemen and Pakistan.Human Rights Watch alleged that 82 people, at least 57 of them civilians, were killed by the unma asics sneaker nned aircraft and other aerial strikes in Yemen between September 2012 and June 2013 and called such strikes unlawful or indiscriminate. Amnesty International called on the U.S. to investigate reports in Pak yeezy i adidas originals stan of civilian casualties, among them a 68-year-old grandmother hit while farming with her grandchildren.The New York-based Human Rights Watch said such strikes are unlawful or indiscriminate. Amnesty, based in London, said it is concerned that the attacks outlined in the report and others may have resulted in unlawful killings that constitute extrajudicial executions or war crimes. President Barack Obama s chief spokesman, Jay Carney, said the U.S. would strongly disagree with any claims that the U.S. had acted improperly, arguing that American actions follow all applicable law.Repeating Obama s defense of the drone policy earlier in the year, Carney said there must be near-certainty of no civilian casualties before the U.S. proceeds with a drone strike.

The nuclear warhead that sits atop the Trident submarine-launched missile is one of this country s most sophisticated nuclear weapons, CBS News Correspondent David Martin reports. Called the W-88, it is small enough so that each missile can carry up to 10 warheads - each one powerful enough to destroy an entire city. Now China has tested a warhead very much like the W-88.Beginning in 1992, the Chinese con stanley tumbler ducted a series of underground nuclear tests of a weapon which used the same trigger concept as the W-88 - an important first step toward deploying intercontinental ballistic missiles with multiple warheads. Now they re gonna be able to put multiple warheads on top of smaller solid fuel missiles. It means they can have more nuclear weapons aimed at the Un stanley cup ited States, said Jonathan Pike of the Federation of American Scientists.Pike said multiple warheads, like the ones carried by American missiles also would make China a much more dangerous country to attack. The benefit of having multiple warheads on a single missile is that if only a few of their missiles manage to survive an attack they would still have enough nuclear firepower to devastate a potential adversary, Pike said.China has no lack of short-range missiles, but only 13 missiles capable of hitting targets in the U.S. Officials say they do not expect the Chinese to actua stanley cup lly deploy multiple warheads for at least 10 years.

Meet the sturddlefish: a new species of fish accidentally created by scientists in Hungary. It s an unusual mix of two endangered species, the American Paddlefish and the Russian Sturgeon.According to a study published in the journal Genes, researchers at Hungary s National Agricultural Research and Inno mizuno running vation Centre, Research Institute for Fisheries and Aquaculture said that they were not trying to create a new fish when the sturddlefish was born.

This was the first successful hybridization between these two species and between members of the family Acipenseridae and Polyodontidae, researchers wrote.Using gynogenesis, a method of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of sperm but not the actual contribution of its DNA, researchers said they inadvertently used paddlefish sperm to fertilize sturgeon eggs.

International peacekeepers clashed Tuesday with Afghans protesting in a remote northern city against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, leaving three demonstrators dead and forcing NATO to send in more troops.Senior Afghan officials said al Qaeda and the Taliban could be exploiting anger over the cartoons to incite violence, which spread to at least six cities in a second day of bloody unrest in Afghanistan.Demonstrations rumbled on around the Muslim world and the poli stanley cups uk tical repercussions deepened, with Iran suspending all trade and economic ties with Denmark, where the drawings were first published in September.
