Update: I found what I believe to be Knuttz’s source for these photos.
English Russia has the same photos along with a little text:
One Russian hunter went for a hunt deep in Russian woods and found a small (just 1 building) abandoned military place with a glorious abandoned military helicopter.
I wish Knuttz would give proper attribution of their stuff.

North Korea appears to have made preparations for another nuclear test, according to U.S. defense officials. “We think they’ve put everything in place to conduct a test without any notice or warning,” a senior U.S. defense official tells ABC News.

I personally believe that this is an event which should have happened after the country became more stable but at least we can now begin to put Saddam era Iraq behind us.
From Reuters:
Saddam Hussein was hanged at dawn on Saturday, a dramatic end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades before a U.S. invasion toppled him and was then convicted of crimes against humanity.As day broke on one of the holiest days of the Muslim year and the call to prayer echoed out from minarets across a dark and bitterly cold Baghdad, officially-backed television channels flashed the news shortly after six a.m. (10:00 p.m. EST).
“It happened before my eyes,” one Iraqi official said.
…
“The three men were executed. First Saddam Hussein, then Barzan al-Tikriti and then Awad al-Bander,” an Iraqiya announcer said, reading what he said was an official statement.
The event was filmed but it was unclear when or if images would be shown to help convince Iraqis Saddam is dead.
It was not clear where the executions took place, although key officials who were to attend the hanging had told Reuters they had been told to gather in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone government compound.
From Al Jazeera:
Iraq’s deputy foreign minister, Labeed Abbawi, said: “He has been executed. It has been officially announced that he has been executed.”
…
The former Iraqi president, who was ousted in April 2003 by a US-led invasion, had been convicted last month of crimes against humanity over the killings of 148 Shia villagers from Dujail after a failed assassination attempt in 1982.
An appeals court upheld the death penalty on Tuesday and the Iraqi government rushed through the procedures to hang him by the end of the year and before the Eid al-Adha holiday that starts on Saturday.
