i like antiwar.com it's actually a libertarian site from australia, but they take news from a lot of different sources. and the name says it all.
though i'm not exactly a leftist, i like to use lefty sources because it counters the main stream. http://democracynow.org/ is a radio/(i think it's on tv now too) program that you can listen to/watch on line. strong leftist bias, but good alternative to mainstream news. not corporate sponsored
free speech radio news (again strong leftist bias) http://www.fsrn.org/not corporate sponsored.
i find the bbc very good too.
once in a while i will go to http://english.aljazeera.net/English
2 lefty papers in uk http://www.independent.co.uk/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/
there are lots more but that's all that comes to mind right now.
in general, i think it is good to go to as many different sources as possible, if you have the time and really want to get an idea what's going on.

....some reliable news sources eg, sites, online news, etc so that, inshallah, i may get to know whats happning to this ummah world wide.
hola maryam11,
you specifically asked about news for the muslim community... and i cannot necessarily suggest anything. but i really like www.nationalgeographic.com, www.npr.org, www.csmonitor.com and www.cfr.org for news and analysis about global issues. especially the first because when there is no serious news to report they like to do indepth studies on interesting cultures, places and events around the world. they also are pretty devoid of sensationalism and they all have very qualified contributors.
Yes sister Maryam11 go to kavkazcenter.com it is the best on news and anaylsis on the ummah. Its run by chechen mujahideen and others from the qoqaz(cacausus).

About 35 kafirs, murtads eliminated, wounded near Horsenoi village-report from kavkazcenter.com
***According to source from Chechnya with the reference to the commander of Urus-Martan sector of Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate Amir Abdul-Malik, a fierce firefight took place between Chechen Mujahideen and Russian kafirs (infidels) and Chechen murtads (apostates) on November 26 in the district of the village of Horsenoi.
The source reported that murtads and kafirs were surrounded the base of the Mujahideen and were tried to capture it. Mujahideen meet the enemy with fierce gun fire from automatic rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers.
The battle continued until late night. During the fierce firefight one Mujahid Abu-Ahmad (call sign "Albani") was became a Shaheed. Russian kafirs and Chechen murtads lost about 15 men and about 20 enemy soldiers were wounded. Kafirs and murtads evacuated their dead and wounded by helicopters.
According to the source, with the onset of darkness a squad of Mujahideen deployed at the base near the village Horsenoi, withdrew from the battle zone.
Early at morning of November 27 and until the noon Russian aircraft bombed the possible routes of movement of Mujahideen squad. But these attacks did not caused any harm to Mujahideen.
Russian occupation sources reported that during the military clashes in the region of Shatoi, Vilayet Nohchiycho (Ichkeria) 1 murtad was eliminated and 3 murtads were wounded. They were members of the gang named "Yug" (South). Thus kafirs reported that one mujahid died in that clash. No other details have been reported.
Meanwhile, according to unconfirmed information fighting have been continued in the village of Horsenoi for about two days..
Let's remember that the Russians have previously reported about a "clash" in the Shelkovskoy district, saying that during one "policeman" injured in the action.
