“IAEA indicts Iran”
Peter Brookes
ARTICLE SNIPPET:New intelligence continues to blast away like a sledgehammer at Iran’s rocklike insistence that its nuclear program is purely peaceful and not a nuclear weapons effort as many strongly believe.
The latest evidence comes out of the United Nation’s nuclear watchdog in Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which released a nine-page report that casts serious doubt on Iran’s purported pacifist power program.
In a dramatic change, based on new, multi-source, multilateral intelligence received over time from its members, the IAEA has shifted its position from being unable to prove Iran has a nuclear weapons program to being unable to prove Iran doesn’t have one.
Regrettably, the nuclear weapons shoe increasingly fits Iran’s foot quite snuggly.

“Israel fears al-Qaida Westerners”
By YAAKOV KATZ AND HERB KEINON
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Information recently obtained by the Mossad and Military Intelligence indicates that global jihad elements are working to recruit European and American nationals who have been indoctrinated with radical Islamic ideology to carry out attacks inside Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
On Wednesday, the security cabinet convened to discuss the growing global jihad threat against Israel and heard assessments from MI chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin as well as representatives from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and the Mossad.
The ministers were briefed on the growing presence of global jihad elements in Lebanon, Jordan and Sinai as well as attempts by al-Qaida to infiltrate harmless looking people into Israel to carry out attacks.”

“FBI Backs Off From Secret Order for Data After Lawsuit”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The FBI has withdrawn a secret administrative order seeking the name, address and online activity of a patron of the Internet Archive after the San Francisco-based digital library filed suit to block the action.
It is one of only three known instances in which the FBI has backed off from such a data demand, known as a “national security letter,” or NSL, which is not subject to judicial approval and whose recipient is barred from disclosing the order’s existence.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Prime Minister Ehud Olmert directed the intelligence officials to continue their efforts in gathering information and thwarting the threats, through cooperation with other countries seeking to battle terrorism.
On Sunday Director of Military Intelligence Major-General Amos Yadlin told the cabinet that Israel’s enemies have no interest in provoking any military conflict while US President George W. Bush is still in office.
The military, he warned, does believe a limited military campaign, which will probably not escalate into a full-fledged war, is possible.”

Mystery explosions point to Iran’s secret arms shipments to terrorists
UK Telegraph ^ | July 24 2008 | Con Coughlin
Posted on July 24, 2008 2:50:09 PM PDT by knighthawk
For an organisation that prides itself on being a well-run administrative machine, the leadership of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards is having a rather testing time. It’s not just last Saturday’s mysterious explosion in a suburb of Tehran that killed 15 people that is causing the leadership sleepless nights, although the nationwide news black-out imposed immediately afterwards does suggest the Revolutionary Guards, the storm troops of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, are rattled.
Details are only now starting to reach the outside world, and it looks increasingly like sabotage was responsible for devastating a military convoy as it travelled through Khavarshahar. The company responsible for moving the equipment, LTK, is owned by the Revolutionary Guards and is suspected of being involved in shipping arms to Lebanon’s Hizbollah Shia Muslim militia, which is trained and funded by Tehran.
The Revolutionary Guards’ arms shipments to Lebanon and its allies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia are usually shrouded in such secrecy that only a few senior members of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government are briefed in advance. As the international crisis over Iran’s nuclear programme deepens, the Revolutionary Guards have intensified their efforts to supply regional allies with military hardware so that, in the event of Tehran becoming involved in an armed confrontation with the West, Iran can respond by opening a number of fronts in the Middle East and beyond.

“Al-Qaeda Commander: Islam Doesn’t Distinguish Between American People, American Gov’t – Both Are Infidels and At War with Islam”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “On July 21, 2008, Pakistan’s independent television network Geo News aired an exclusive interview with Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, Al-Qaeda’s No. 3 man and top commander in Afghanistan. The interview, conducted in Arabic, was broadcast on Geo News with a voiceover in Urdu. It was later posted on Islamist websites, and its content was published in Pakistani newspapers.
Abu Al-Yazid, also known as Sheikh Sa’id, is a 52-year-old Egyptian with two wives and 14 children. In 1981 he was arrested in Egypt for involvement in the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Al-Sadat, but was released a year later. In 1988, after heading various militant groups, he joined Al-Qaeda and shifted his base of operations to Afghanistan. In 1991 he worked for Osama bin Laden in Sudan as an accountant, and later became director of Al-Qaeda’s financial affairs. He has also been a member of Al-Qaeda’s Shura Council, in charge of financial planning, organizational affairs, and public relations. [1]

Coalition, Iraqi Forces Detain Five, Find Weapons
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2008 – Coalition and Iraqi forces detained five suspected terrorists and found weapons caches during recent operations in Iraq, military officials said.
Yesterday in Baghdad, coalition and Iraqi forces captured five suspected terrorists and uncovered an insurgent rocket-launch site, officials said.
Iraqi troops discovered and blocked off the site after spotting a rocket and rail system in the city’s Jihad neighborhood. Soldiers from 4th Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team searched the surrounding communities, eventually detaining the suspects – three in the Saydiyah neighborhood and two in the Zubaida community, officials said.
Coalition troops found two roadside bombs July 22 during separate logistics patrols, one north of Mosul and the other south of Baghdad. Explosive ordnance disposal teams were contacted, and they detonated both bombs on the spot, officials said.
Coalition and Iraqi forces located weapons caches during separate operations July 21 and 22 in Baghdad. In all, the troops found more than 2,000 AK-47 rounds, 300 automatic machine gun rounds, 50 mortars, 13 homemade bombs and two rocket-propelled grenades, officials said.

Al-Qaida ‘Severely Disrupted’ in Iraq’s Babil Province
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2008 – Al-Qaida terrorists have been largely marginalized in Iraq’s Babil province, thanks to the joint efforts of Iraqi and U.S. security forces, as well as local “Sons of Iraq” citizen security groups, a senior U.S. military officer posted in Iraq said today.
“The organization related to al-Qaida is severely disrupted, … as well as the [extremist] militia” in Babil province,” Army Col. Tom James, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 4th Brigade Combat Team, said during a satellite-carried news conference with Pentagon reporters.
“Overall, we are extremely optimistic about the security situation in Babil province, because of the professional actions of the Iraqi security forces and the population’s strong desire for peace and stability,” James said.
About 1.2 million people live in Babil province, located about 50 kilometers south of Baghdad, James said. Babil’s population is about 70 percent Shiia Muslim and 30 percent Sunni Muslim. Hillah is the provincial capital.
The improved security, he said, “will stimulate positive governance and economic growth for the future, and eventually will result in irreversible, sustainable security.”
James complimented his soldiers’ ability “to adapt rapidly to extremely complex situations,” and he also saluted Iraqi soldiers’ ability to adjust to conditions.
The last of the U.S.-provided surge forces recently departed Iraq, but improved Iraqi security forces are picking up the slack, James said. With the departure of the surge troops, “Iraqi security forces are at a [capability] level to be able to handle that,” he added.
The improved security is driving reconstruction and economic progress, James said, noting that 186 Iraqi-government-sponsored economic programs are under way in the province.
U.S. and Iraqi forces are helping Iraqi government officials prepare for provincial elections slated for later in the year. Twenty-three Iraqi voter registration sites have been set up in Babil province, James noted.
James was accompanied at the news conference by Brig. Gen. Abdul Amir, commander of 31st Brigade, 8th Iraqi Army Division. The U.S. and Iraqi soldiers work together, along with Iraqi police and Sons of Iraq members, to conduct aggressive security operations across Babil province, James said.
Working in tandem, U.S. and Iraqi security forces “were able to disable all these [al-Qaida] cells and enemies,” Amir said. Most of the al-Qaida leaders in his area of operations, he said, are now in detention.
Today, in northern Babil province, “there is no threat from al-Qaida” or extremist militia, Amir asserted.
The reduced incidence of al-Qaida attacks, especially those in the form of improvised explosive devices, enables U.S.-supported Iraqi security forces to focus resources to quickly disrupt enemy activity, James said. Al-Qaida’s weakened state in Babil province “is obvious to us, based on their ability to deliver an effective IED” attack, he explained.
Previously, the colonel explained, al-Qaida operatives in the province typically deployed suicide-vest bombers and used deeply buried IEDs.
“We’re not seeing those any more,” James said. Explosive devices now employed by al-Qaida in his area of operations, he said, are “much more primitive and much less effective.”
The few remaining al-Qaida agents in Babil province are attempting to use their waning power to target Sons of Iraq leadership, with little effect, James said.
“That’s the primary threat that we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks,” James said.
Meanwhile, Iraqi security forces, he said, continue to zero in on remaining al-Qaida elements in the province. James saluted the security contributions provided by Iraqi soldiers, police and Sons of Iraq members.
“I am honored to serve with the Iraqi security forces; they are true patriots, and we have built relationships that will last a lifetime,” James said. “I thank them and their families and the people of Iraq for their sacrifices in pursuit of a safe and secure country, so that democracy and freedom can flourish.
“I would also like to thank the American people,” James continued, “especially the families of our servicemen and women, for their sacrifices and their support as well, as we’re forward-deployed here.”
The colonel also saluted “our servicemen and women for their contribution to freedom and those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice on the field of battle, and that is both, Iraqi army as well as coalition-force and U.S. forces, that have fought hand in hand to make Iraq a secure place.”
In turn, Amir expressed his gratitude for U.S. military help in ridding his country of terrorists and insurgents.
“I send my greeting to all the families of the 4th Brigade soldiers who are sacrificing with their lives … for helping us to reform and rebuild our armed forces,” the Iraqi general said.
“And, I am hoping that they will go home safely and see their families,” Amir said.
