Radio Rebels

The chief military rebel who led a thwarted coup in Gabon on Monday has been arrested and two of his commandos killed after they stormed into a public radio station, the presidency said.

The radio station of Yemen's Houthi-controlled interior ministry said on Monday the militia's former war ally, ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, had been killed though there was no independent confirmation as fierce combat battered the Yemeni capital.

Syria's Al-Qaeda affiliate stormed a radio station and abducted two prominent media activists from a rebel-held northwestern town today, an opposition official told AFP.

On the top floor of an old brick building in the heart of Berlin, a group of journalists and tech enthusiasts are working to spur the Syrian media revolution.

A Syrian reporter for an official radio station and a local television channel was killed today by rebel fire outside the capital, state media said.

Suspected Boko Haram rebels from Nigeria have attacked a Chinese work site in northern Cameroon, killing at least one Cameroonian soldier and at least 10 people are believed to have been abducted, the regional governor and Cameroon state radio said.

US officials say the CIA has been delivering light machine guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, following President Barack Obama's decision to arm the rebels.
