In this Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014 photo, two young men ride a motorcycle past a church in Lebanon's Christian village of Ras Baalbek in the northern Bekaa region near the border with Syria. Across the Middle East, Christian communities as old as the religion itself feel their very survival is at stake, threatened by militants of the Islamic State group rampaging across Iraq and Syria. Many Christian villagers are setting up self-defense units to protect themselves against attack.

This undated image released by the Israel Defense Forces on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 shows a graphic overlay of a satellite image that purports to show Hamas military compounds next to civilian houses and a hospital of Jebaliya, northern Gaza Strip. With a 50-day war in Gaza behind it, the Israeli military is gearing up for what could become its next big battle: the possibility that a U.N. investigation could result in war-crimes allegations. The army has beefed up its legal staff, is conducting internal investigations of its wartime actions and has prepared a detailed PR campaign of satellite photos and video clips_ all with the goal of explaining why its campaign was justified and necessary.

Top aide to ISIS leader killed in airstrike: Report

Charles Hoskinson · September 4, 2014 2:28 pm
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani gives a press conference in Tehran, Iran, Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014.  Rouhani called Western sanctions an "invasion" on Saturday after Washington imposed existing sanctions on more than 25 businesses, banks and individuals suspected of working to expand Iran's nuclear program, support terrorism and help Iran evade U.S. and international sanctions. Iran's state TV also said the move violated an interim agreement reached with world powers under which Western nations agreed to ease sanctions in exchange for Iran curbing its nuclear activities.  However, Friday's action did not constitute an expansion of the sanctions regime. National Security
