Threat Matrix: August 2007

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Disaster Looms in Pakistan

Decorum was abandoned as accusations ricocheted between the wood-panelled walls of Pakistan's national assembly on Monday night. "Murderers! Murderers of innocent people!" screamed an MP from a religious party, his yellow turban shaking as he wagged a finger towards the government benches.

Five female parliamentarians, their faces concealed behind black and white burkas, slapped the benches with open palms. Another mullah stood up and started shouting. The speaker strained to maintain order.

Others were less captivated by the debate on last month's siege of the Red Mosque, in which more than 100 people died. One man snoozed at his desk. Across the vast hall others started whispered conversations. And high above them Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a dapper man with a pinched, clean-shaven face, looked on impassively from his giant portrait on the wall. Full story...

PANAMA, Aug. 29 (Reuters) — The governing party has nominated a lawmaker who was indicted for the drive-by killing of an American soldier in the 1990s as its candidate to head Congress, in a vote likely to upset Washington.

The Revolutionary Democratic Party backed the lawmaker, Pedro Miguel González, on Tuesday night, making him almost certain to win the post in a vote Saturday.

Mr. González, 42, was indicted in the United States on charges that he shot dead Sgt. Zak A. Hernandez of the Army in June 1992, a day before a visit by President George Bush. At a tense time after the 1989 American invasion and capture of the Panamanian leader, Manuel Antonio Noriega, The sergeant was killed when the Humvee he was driving was ambushed north of Panama City.

Mr. González said he was at a demonstration to protest the Bush visit at the time of the shooting and he was acquitted at a 1997 trial in Panama.

“Iraqi Kurdish media are reporting that the Iranian military is massing at the main border crossing into northern Iraq, possibly for an incursion against PEJAK. Clashes between PEJAK and the Iranians have been increasing steadily, and Iraqi Kurdish officials say that about 40 Iranian soldiers were killed on Saturday. Whether or not the Iranians attack, the timing of the buildup is ominous. . .”

9/11 was designed to draw us completely into Afghanistan leaving other targets more vulnerable.

The next 9/11 will be designed to draw us into Pakistan leaving other targets more vulnerable.

State sponsors of terror use non-state terrorists like al Qaeda as proxies/subcontractors.

” . . .The report continues: “Recent reporting has described AQI’s Kurdish network in Iran planning what we believe may be a large-scale attack against a western target. “A member of this network is reportedly involved in an operation which he believes requires AQ Core authorisation. He claims the operation will be on ‘a par with Hiroshima and Naga-saki’ and will ‘shake the Roman throne’. We assess that this operation is most likely to be a large-scale, mass casualty attack against the West.” . . .”

Timing is everything.

Some of the most intriguing intelligence concerns an Iraqi named Ahmed Hikmat Shakir:

24. According to sensitive reporting, a Malaysia-based Iraqi national (Shakir) facilitated the arrival of one of the Sept 11 hijackers for an operational meeting in Kuala Lumpur (Jan 2000). Sensitive reporting indicates Shakir’s travel and contacts link him to a worldwide network of terrorists, including al Qaeda. Shakir worked at the Kuala Lumpur airport—a job he claimed to have obtained through an Iraqi embassy employee.

One of the men at that al Qaeda operational meeting in the Kuala Lumpur Hotel was Tawfiz al Atash, a top bin Laden lieutenant later identified as the mastermind of the October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole.

25. Investigation into the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000 by al Qaeda revealed no specific Iraqi connections but according to the CIA, “fragmentary evidence points to possible Iraqi involvement.”

26. During a custodial interview, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi [a senior al Qaeda operative] said he was told by an al Qaeda associate that he was tasked to travel to Iraq (1998) to establish a relationship with Iraqi intelligence to obtain poisons and gases training. After the USS Cole bombing in 2000, two al Qaeda operatives were sent to Iraq for CBW-related [Chemical and Biological Weapons] training beginning in Dec 2000. Iraqi intelligence was “encouraged” after the embassy and USS Cole bombings to provide this training.

The analysis of this report follows.

CIA maintains that Ibn al-Shaykh’s timeline is consistent with other sensitive reporting indicating that bin Laden asked Iraq in 1998 for advanced weapons, including CBW and “poisons.”

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/hammurabi.htm

(excerpt)

. . . On 12 October 2000 the Republican Guard’s Hammurabi Division began moving westward from its base in Baghdad. The movements was in the general direction of Jordan, but that there was no indication that it was anything other than maneuvers or a public flexing of Iraqi military muscle. At the time, the Hammurabi Division was said to be composed of about 15,000 troops.

As of late October 2000 Iraq had between four and five armored divisions near Jordan. One of these was also situated within 100 kilometers of the Syrian border. The main purpose of the deployment was a “symbolic” show of support for the Palestinians. The moves were viewed as Iraq’s way of showing that it is doing more than other Arab states that are “just talking” about solidarity with the Palestinians. . .

In an early November 2000 interview, Condoleezza Rice [the top foreign affairs advisor to Governor George W. Bush] complained “We right now have troops peacekeeping in the Balkans that if the Hammurabi division of Saddam Hussein were actually to decide to cross into Jordan, as opposed to just be at the border, and we had to reinforce our own troops, we have troops in the Balkans who are out of commission, and we could not use them because they are not combat-ready.” . . .

In December 2000 it was reported that Iraq had begun to form a special corps called “Al-Maqdis,” to be stationed near the Syrian and Jordanian borders. Reportedly, the new corps would consist of elements from the 2nd mechanized infantry division, in addition to two divisions from “Saddam Fedayeen,” and a brigade from the Republican Guard’s Hammurabi Division. According to other reports, in December 2000 Saddam Hussein’s youngest son, Qusay, was said to have visited Syria to discuss contingency plans for Syrian-Iraqi military cooperation in the event of an Israeli attack. Qusay reportedly agreed to establish a joint command and control center and place two Iraqi armored divisions (the 10th Armored Division and an unspecified Republican Guard division) on a state of heightened readiness for deployment to Syria.

In August 2001 the Jerusalem-based Israeli Web site DEBKA.com published an unconfirmed report that over 1,000 Iraqi forces had infiltrated Jordan since 10 July 2001, with ten times that number poised across the border in western Iraq in preparation for further incursions. The Iraqi troops supposedly included the Republican Guard’s Hammurabi Division and four mechanized infantry brigades.

http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110003069

(excerpt)

” . . . More recently, and eerily, a July 21, 2001, commentary in the Iraqi publication Al-Nasiriya praised bin Laden: “In this man’s heart you’ll find an insistence, a strange determination that he will reach one day the tunnels of the White House and will bomb it with everything that is in it.”

The article recounts bin Laden’s attacks on U.S. targets and U.S. efforts “to pressure the Taliban movement so that it would hand them bin Laden, while he continues to smile and still thinks seriously, with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”

The commentary is ominously prescient, especially since it could never have appeared without official sanction. “Bin Laden is a healthy phenomenon in the Arab spirit,” it continues, speaking about his goal to “drive off the Marines” from Arabia. Most eerily of all, the writer adds that those Marines “will be going away because the revolutionary bin Laden is insisting very convincingly that he will strike America on the arm that is already hurting.

That the man . . . will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs.” Is that a reference to Sinatra’s “New York, New York”? Did Saddam know what would happen two months later?”

U.S. To Iraq: Don’t Get Any Ideas

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 11, 2001 (excerpted)

(AP) Iraq says it has been warned by the United States to expect a “crushing” reply if it tries to exploit any instability following the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington.

Iraq responded it was not afraid of the United States, according to a statement on the exchange issued Thursday by the Information Ministry.

The ministry said the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, John Negroponte, contacted Iraq’s U.N. envoy Sunday, the day the United States began its retaliatory bombing of Afghanistan. Negroponte delivered “the following message orally without demanding an answer,” the ministry said.

The message, according to Iraq, concerned exploiting turbulence following U.S. strikes on Afghanistan. Afghanistan was targeted because it is the haven of Islamic extremist Osama bin Laden, the main suspect in the Sept. 11 attacks.

“If you use force against your neighbors or Israel or the Kurdish side or any other part of the Iraqi people, then we will reply very strongly to defeat you,” Negroponte was quoted as telling Iraqi Ambassador Mohammed al-Douri.

Negroponte was quoted as saying the U.S. “reply will be crushing” should Iraq “use weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or our forces or even our friends and allies.” . . .

Negroponte has refused comment on the exchange first reported earlier this week by diplomats at the United Nations. The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Negroponte came to Iraq’s U.N. Mission after the U.S. air strikes began on Sunday to read a letter warning the Iraqi government not to use the current situation to take any action either against its own minorities or its neighbors. . .

Al-Qaeda ‘planning big British attack’
Dipesh Gadher (excerpted)

AL-QAEDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first “large-scale” terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.

Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on “a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne”, a reference to the West. . .

The report, produced earlier this month and seen by The Sunday Times, appears to provide evidence that Al-Qaeda is active in Iran and has ambitions far beyond the improvised attacks it has been waging against British and American soldiers in Iraq. . .

The report continues: “Recent reporting has described AQI’s Kurdish network in Iran planning what we believe may be a large-scale attack against a western target.

“A member of this network is reportedly involved in an operation which he believes requires AQ Core authorisation. He claims the operation will be on ‘a par with Hiroshima and Naga-saki’ and will ‘shake the Roman throne’. We assess that this operation is most likely to be a large-scale, mass casualty attack against the West.” . . .

Iranian Revolutionary Guards Weekly: Hizbullah Striving Towards World Islamic Rule

In an article, the Iranian weekly Sobh-e Sadeq, the mouthpiece of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei circulated among the Revolutionary Guards, has stated that Hizbullah sees itself as part of an Islamic movement striving towards Islamic rule of the world – not just as a Lebanese organization.

It also said that Hizbullah was obeying, politically and religiously, the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, and now his heir Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, and that therefore Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah kisses the hand of Khamenei and presents himself to him as his soldier.

In another article, the weekly stated that Iran’s significant progress in ballistic missile technology will force its enemies to be more cautious in their contacts with it and will reduce the risk to which Iran is exposed.

“Taliban vows more abductions as hostages freed”
Updated Thu. Aug. 30 2007 6:59 PM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The seven remaining South Korean hostages taken captive last July by the Taliban have been released, and insurgents have vowed they will abduct more foreigners.

“We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan, because we found this way to be successful,” Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told The Associated Press by phone on Thursday.

Twenty-three 23 South Koreans, all volunteers from a church group, were kidnapped by Taliban militants on July 19. Two of the male captives were later executed by gunfire.”

“The DoJ: Subsidizing the Enemy”
By Deborah Weiss
FrontPageMagazine.com | 8/31/2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “This Labor Day weekend, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice will be paying the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) to have a booth at its 44th Annual Convention.

Ironically, ISNA, along with NAIT (North American Islamic Trust), an organ of ISNA, were recently named unindicted co-conspirators in DOJ’s criminal case against the Holy Land Foundation (HLF). The Holy Land Foundation is an Islamic “charity” whose assets were frozen by President Bush because it was giving money to Hamas. The trial is taking place in Texas at this very moment.

There has been some debate about whether or not it is a wise thing for DOJ to make an appearance at the ISNA convention.”

“Warning on beef as E. coli sickens 6”
By Carol M. Ostrom
Seattle Times health reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Federal inspectors are warning consumers to check the ground beef in freezers because six people in Washington have been sickened by ground beef contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

A federal consumer alert was issued Thursday after investigators tracked the illnesses, along with two others in Oregon, during late July and early August to a single strain of E. coli 0157: H7 bacteria in ground beef produced by Oregon-based Interstate Meats.

In Washington, one child and five adults from King, Island and Clallam counties were sickened. Two of them were hospitalized but have recovered.

The products subject to the alert, ordered by the U.S. Food Safety Inspection Service, were sold under the brand name, “Northwest Finest,” and include:

• 16-ounce packages of “Northwest Finest 7% FAT, NATURAL GROUND BEEF.” The label bears a UPC code of 752907 600127.

• 16-ounce packages of “Northwest Finest 10% FAT, Organic GROUND BEEF.” No UPC code is available.

Each package also bore the establishment number “Est. 965” inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture mark of inspection, and had sell-by dates between Aug. 1 and Aug. 11.

The ground-beef products were produced between July 19 and 30 and were distributed in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In Washington, it they were sold at Safeway, QFC and Fred Meyer stores and possibly other locations, the state Department of Health said.

Health authorities said they believe the contamination was contained to one batch of ground beef totaling 41,305 pounds.

E. coli O157 causes mild to severe intestinal illness and may cause serious kidney complications. Symptoms include diarrhea, which may contain blood; abdominal cramping; and vomiting.”

For the sake of security, if you are asked to remove your hat and/or headdress at the airport for a routine search; please just do it. It’s not discrimination — it’s just the way it is right now. Thank you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20070831-03
August 31, 2007

Marines kill 12 AQI near Karmah
Multi-National Force-West

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Marines from Regimental Combat Team 6 observed and engaged an armed group of al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists killing 12 and destroying two vehicles near the town of Karmah Aug. 29.

A group of three men was seen loading objects into a bongo truck from a nearby growth of weeds 11 kilometers northeast of Fallujah, in an area known to be a historical weapons cache site. A second group of four men arrived in another bongo truck, followed by a third group of six men on foot through the reeds.

A team of Marines was dispatched to better observe the scene and a third cargo truck carrying three men waving weapons and wearing ski masks approached the group a few moments later.

The Marines called for air support and a section of AV-8B Harrier jets dropped two precision-guided bombs, destroying the initial two cargo trucks. Marines called for artillery fire on the dismounted enemy personnel immediately following the air attack.

Twelve members of al Qaeda were found dead upon investigation of the scene... Numerous weapons and roadside bomb making materials were also found.

All unexploded ordnance was removed from the scene and transported to a
Coalition base for investigation and disposal.
