UK: Strikes Neutralize Libyan Air Defenses
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON -- U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said Monday that coalition forces have neutralized Libyan air defenses and helped avert a bloodbath in the North African country.

Security Council resolution by moving troops toward rebel-held cities and also had lied to the international community. "Gadhafi responded to the U.N. resolution by declaring a cease-fire, but straightaway it was clear he was breaking that promise," Cameron told lawmakers. Cameron stressed that through airstrikes, coalition forces helped ...
Is Your Cell Phone's Radiation Level Safe? Don't Call the FCC
By Andrew Schneider - AOL NewsMore than 200 million people in the U.S. talk on cell phones a total of at least 12 hours a month -- some double or triple that amount. Almost everyone admits that cell phones emit radiation when they link to the closest tower. What almost no one can agree on is whether that radiation is harmful to those holding their phones to their ears. Amid this confusion comes a report from health and safety activists that the government's cell phone watchdog -- the Federal Communications Commission -- is putting industry desires before public well-being. Investigators for the Environmental Working ...

Classified Docs Reveal UK Tried to Stop Worldwide UFO Investigation
By Lee Speigel - AOL NewsWhen Britain released 8,500 pages of previously classified UFO files last week, one set of key documents quickly caught my attention and had a profound effect on me as it took me back in time 33 years. The file includes many pages detailing the British government's attempt in 1978 to derail the country of Grenada's plan to convince the United Nations to form a special UFO study committee. The reason these documents resonated so strongly with me is because I'm the one who produced Grenada's UFO presentation at the U.N. all those years ago. At the time, Grenada's prime minister, Sir Eric ...
Queen Elizabeth to Visit Ireland, and the Irish Are (Mostly) Thrilled
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsWill Ireland put out the welcome mat for Queen Elizabeth II? Today the queen announced that she will be accepting an invitation from Ireland to visit this year.

After Ireland became independent in 1922, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated. The conflict over independence for Northern Ireland, particularly "The Troubles," strained the United Kingdom's relationship with the Irish. But have the bad feelings passed?

By Andra Varin - AOL NewsPrince William and Kate Middleton haven't made it down the aisle yet, but British lawmakers are already debating their children's future roles.

Prince William is second in line to the throne behind his father, Prince Charles, and any children born to William and his wife will automatically come before William's younger brother, Prince Harry, in the succession.
