Ex-Laden hunt chief to run Iran spying
WASHINGTON: The CIA has named the hardline chief of its hunt for Osama bin Laden and head of its lethal drone programme to lead Iran operations, the New York Times reported on Friday. The choice of Michael D’Andrea to run the Central Intelligence Agency’s spying on Iran is the newest sign of the Trump administration’s turn to tougher stance against the Islamic Republic, the Times said, quoting intelligence community sources. Although officially under cover and **t ack**wledged by the CIA, D’Andrea, a convert to Islam who is around 60 years old, has been a key figure in the fight against Islamic extremists groups. He was chief of the agency’s Counter-Terrorism Centre during the 2000s, in which he oversaw the hunt for al-Qaeda head bin Laden.
US will ‘reduce greenhouse’ emissions
WASHINGTON: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Friday the United States will pursue unilateral efforts to curb greenhouse emissions, despite pulling out of the Paris accord. As he welcomed Brazil’s Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes to Washington, Tillerson boasted that the US has a "terrific record" in reducing the emissions blamed for global warming. But, in a **d to concerns that US global leadership has been damaged by the decision to quit the Paris deal, he urged partners "to keep it in perspective". Reports suggest Tillerson was one of the advisers who counselled President Donald Trump **t to pull Washington from the accord, fearing a blow to US influence abroad. But if that was the case, the former oil executive put a brave face on the decision, which has seen Europe and China pull together to renew their support for the 2015 agreement.
