In Moscow, Top Journalist Knifed to Death
NY Sun ^ | October 17 2006 | SEBASTIAN ALISON
Posted on 10/16/2006 11:24:32 PM PDT by jmc1969
The business chief of Russian news agency Itar-Tass, Anatoly Voronin, was killed on Sunday night in his apartment in central Moscow, the agency reported. Death was the result of multiple knife wounds, according to police, Itar-Tass reported. Several theories are being investigated, the agency said.
The body of 55-year-old Voronin was found at his home by his driver, the news agency said. He had worked at the agency for 23 years. His death is the latest in a spate of high-profile killings in Russia in little over a month.
The journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a critic of President Putin, was shot in the entranceway of her apartment building on October 7. Leaders from around the world including President Bush called on the Russian government to carry out a thorough investigation to find her killers. No arrests have yet been made.

NKorea: Sanctions are declaration of war
Yahoo News (AP) ^ | October 17, 2006 | Staff
Posted on 10/17/2006 12:19:48 AM PDT by John Carey
North Korea said Tuesday the United Nations effectively declared war on the country when it imposed sanctions for the North's nuclear test.
North Korea wants "peace but is not afraid of war," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
The U.N. Security Council "resolution cannot be construed otherwise than a declaration of a war," the ministry said, calling the sanctions "a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward" North Korea.
The ministry warned that if anyone used the U.N. resolution to infringe on the country's sovereignty, North Korea "will deal merciless blows at him through strong actions."
The U.N. sanctions, approved Saturday, bans the sale of major arms to the North and orders the inspection of cargo to and from the country. It also calls for the freezing of assets of business supplying the North's nuclear and ballistic weapons programs.
The North "will closely follow the future U.S. attitude and take corresponding measures," the statement said, without specifying what those measures would be.

"Muslim Moderates Under Siege"
By Robert Spencer
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 17, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Since I began work on my new book The Truth About Muhammad, I have often been asked whether I really think it will do any good to discuss the actions of Muhammad that jihadists use to justify violence. Doesn’t that alienate moderate Muslims? I have responded that actually no Islamic reform can possibly take place without an acknowledgment that there are elements of the Qur’an and the example of Muhammad that need searching reevaluation: how can reformers succeed if no one admits that anything needs any reforming?
At the same time, however, Islamic reformers have a difficult road. They are often targeted as apostates by jihadists, and often physically threatened. Farzana Hassan Shahid, the new president of the Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC), is the latest victim of this phenomenon. After her liberal views on many Islamic hot-button issues became known, she began receiving death threats from Muslim hardliners who considered her positions evidence of her falling away from Islam."

"The Interaction of Phone Shops and Terror Cells in Germany"
We just received a link to one man's fascinating story of struggle with radical Islam and endless lawsuits in Germany. The following paragraph, written by Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, is a real eye-opener:
"In February 2006 I published in the magazine "Park Avenue" a long report on the interaction of phone shops and terror cells in Germany. The Federal Office of Criminal Investigation had always responded to my inquiries that there was no such connection while the evidence was on hand at German security authorities. (...) It needed the suitcase bombings, fortunately prevented by chance, until the Federal Criminal Police Office was aware of the cooperation of "call-shops" and terror cells. Today we know that the Lebanese terrorists built their net via the "call-shop" scene in Hamburg and Kiel. In Madrid and London the security authorities had got to such findings as well - only after the attacks."
Read the entire story.

THE WORLD - upside down
by Udo Ulfkotte
Dealing with dangerous Islamists means living dangerously. However, sometimes the danger does not stem from the Islamists in Germany but from German administration. Describing historical processes complete with background is the historian's task. The following report will help future generations to understand why Christian and Western Culture lost the battle against hate filled extremist Islamists with eyes wide open.
I am not important in this story. My person could be exchanged. Others have had the same experience when dealing with Islamists in Germany. They keep silent because of their kids. And they keep silent because they fear for their jobs. My readers should be aware that I do not know Islamists only from dusty books but have observed over 15 years in their countries of origin: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi-Arabia, Yemen, Syria, the Emirates, Algeria, Jordan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. I met the group around Osama Bin Laden mid of the 90s in the Sudan capital Khartoum. At the confluence of the White and the Blue Nile they had a plot of land of about eight acres.
Bin Laden had already left Khartoum when I visited there; some of his followers were still there. Already by dawn the men were sitting together in prayer. An air conditioned dairy farm was located only about 100 yards from there. The only Jewish family in Sudan produced milk in these sheds. The black and white cows came from Fries land (flat land in Northern Germany). The Al Qaeda followers on the nearby plot were also among the customers. In the Western World Al Qaeda was not yet an issue. No newspaper reported about the self-identified "holy warriors".
The same holy warriors I met again later in Afghanistan. They tried hard to convert me to Islam. I have had the same experience at hundreds of meetings with followers of Hamas, Hezbollah, Hisb ut-Tahrir, and several other groups which appear in today's headlines again and again. All of them are convinced that by their actions they will lead the world into an allegedly better future. Then I could observe these Islamists building booby traps and with submachine guns type AK-47 we have shot from a save distance on empty cans in the desert. I always was the worst shot. While they tried converting me to Islam they told me about their plans. They talked about the renewal of the Caliphate. They talked about Europe which would be significantly Muslim within a few decades. They glorified terror. They were sure that they could destroy the culture of the "infidels".
I remember: An Islamism leader told me in Teheran that chancellor Kohl should better start flattering him otherwise he would regret later. I have noted this down - and laughed internally. I did not take this man seriously. During this time I asked myself how naïve these holy warriors could possibly be. In retrospect the naïve one was me. The Islamist leader in Teheran should later become internationally known as the leader of the terrorist organizing bomb attacks on international troops in Iraq after the US invasion. He and most of my acquaintances then appear on Western most wanted lists today.
In longer assignments in regions of crisis and war one inevitably gets to know members of intelligence services. People are talking about their experiences, exchanging information. Over the years this develops into a network. The doors of the chancellery open, the list of contacts widens to several thousand names. Documents are getting leaked: from intelligence services, administrations and also companies. Thousands of puzzle parts are falling slowly in place to form a big picture. Past 9/11 this mosaic was suddenly of public interest. In the following months I have summarized my knowledge in newspaper articles and books. I am teaching security management and defense against terror at a north German university.
Many respectable civil servants have given me unsolicited information - for example talking to me after lectures. Ministers on state and federal level invited me for discussions. This is the background of my book "Der Krieg in unseren Staedten - Wie radikale Islamisten Deutschland unterwandern" (The War in Our Cities - How Radical Islamists Undermine Germany) published in spring 2003. While the media have bashed me for its content, this report is not fiction. I have truthfully compiled pages of the findings of German and other intelligence services regarding terror networks in Germany. The Muslim brotherhood as the umbrella gathering nearly all radical groups is preaching "dialogue" to the outside while inciting hatred within; its spin-offs also pretend to be peaceful while they support violent actions in secret. When rereading the reviews I am still surprised at the scorn and sneer of the media. Many of the critics place in the extreme right corner because of the actions I demanded should be implemented. Even when Minister of the Interior, Otto Schily, exceeded my suggestions by far with his security measures in the following months, my image in the media did not improve. With time one gets use to be blamed for being the bearer of bad news. Therefore I was pleased to get honored the same year as the recipient of the "Staatsbuergerlicher Preis" (civic price) for my research on defense against terror. Bavaria's Minister of Interior, Guenther Beckstein, was giving the Laudation.
At the same time more and more Islamists field for injunctive relief against my book. Dozens of obligations on injunctive relief and threatened law suits did not disturb me in the beginning. Had I not several administrative documents for every sentence I wrote in my book? I was glad. The Islamists could not prevail. Engraved in lime stone on the entrance to Freiburg University where I have studied in the 80s is the sentence: "And truth will make you free." I have memorized this sentence forever. Thousands times had I entered there on my way to the law faculty. The truth could not be suppressed, could it?
Unfortunately my evidence came from the documents of intelligence services. Wire tapped phone conversations, photos secretly taken of Islamists meetings, manhunts. Exchange of findings between European services. I had not taken into account that no intelligence service will disclose its sources and its processes of gaining information in a public court. Therefore I was alone going on trial. And the documents did not help for the Islamists from the camouflage fronts of the Muslim Brotherhood just denied their content. Even when public official reports - for example from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution - confirmed my statements, the plaintiffs denied the content and filed another suit against the relevant administration. The exercise was getting expensive. Soon the law costs exceeded 50,000 Euro. My impression was that some of the claimants exploited cynically the possibilities of the constitution while seeking to destroy the constitutional state: I remember an Islamist from Marburg who got legal aid and globally denied all passages concerning him. This man pretended to be destitute. He lost the suit before it began since he owned several apartments. The publishing house and I have had several such experiences. Incidentally the son of this man is today one of the best known spokespeople of Muslim organizations in Germany. The time in court was really interesting. Plaintiffs claimed that they never celebrated the attacks of 9/11 although they had been filmed doing so by the intelligence service. They knew that members of the services would not show their faces in court.
If somebody had told me then that several German intelligence services were investigating against me on the charge of treasonous disclosure - I would not have believed him. The representatives of the services were encouraging me during the trials and continued leaking documents to me. In this context I informed the public on terror structures and their networks. On March 11 2004 Islamist terrorist attacked in Madrid. Several sources informed me a few days later that traces of the attackers had led to Germany. I spread this information on TV on March 25 and 26. Minister of Interior Otto Schilly was reportedly furious. He repudiated my statements. Hans Leyendecker obviously had similar knowledge about my "false alarm" and titled his article in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung "empty bragging - an expert on terror". Six weeks later both Focus and Spiegel would report that one of the Spanish attackers had lived in Germany and pointed out that there were traced to Germany which the administration had denied. Hans Leyendecker was wrong.
In the meantime, however, my fortune changed: On March 32 2004 several civil servants were searching my home and also the offices of my wife in a different building. The allegation: Bribery of civil servants and assistance to treason. I felt like in a movie. Never had I offered money for information to any civil servant. For over a decade the authorities had actively leaked information to me. And their representatives had always encouraged me to publish this information. However, the investigating prosecutor had once found that journalists are also getting information by bribery. And thus my destiny took a turn for the worse. The bearer of bad news was publicly executed.
The Islamists celebrated the statements of the office of the prosecution in Frankfurt in the internet. Most of the media joined them in their triumph. Suddenly I was a criminal. Long time friends started avoiding me, neighbors stopped receiving parcels for a "criminal", and my wife lost her subsistence. A picture of her offices from the outside in a yellow paper made sure that the clients of her accounting service were warned not do business with a "criminal". Since her lease had a period of notice of 12 months, my wife had to pay rent for a full year - without clients. Collateral damage of German security authorities. At the same time Lueneburg University had decided to raise my position to a full professorship. Now, first of all I have to wait for the end of the criminal procedure against me.
Since no clues on bribery could be found, several further searches followed. Between March 2004 and March 2005 my private home and the offices of my wife were each searched twice, another search at my tax accountant should have yielded evidence of my entertaining, with possibly the name of a civil servant among the guests. In spite of the fact that I never had an office at the Lueneburg University and the Prosecutor in Frankfurt was aware of my pending professorship, the University of Lueneburg was also searched - apparently hoping that they might find evidence of my entertaining there which might flesh out the charge of bribery or civil servants. The dean and the professors have been lastingly impressed with the investigation. I have never entertained civil servants with the exception of Minister Beckstein (my wife had baked three cakes for him and his body guards), so I was confident that the Frankfurt Prosecution would publicly apologize for the false accusations. Indeed the file on bribery was closed in 2005 as wall as the file on assistance to treason. Unfortunately the Prosecutor cannot be impelled to announce the closing of a file with the same publicity the investigations had been opened with. Therefore the public still remains under the impression that I might have bribed civil servants.
Replacing the above false and libelous accusations the prosecution is now investigating me for over two and half years on the charge of incitement to betrayal of state secrets. The action has been brought in over a year ago. Unfortunately the court where I could quickly prove that I never incited any civil servant to betray state secrets has no time. As I am writing these lines there is not even a glimmer of hope that a date in court will be fixed. After over two and half years I am leaving the state of Hessen since I do not wish to co-finance this procedure with my taxes.
I have heard from many civil servants that money is an issue with anti terror manhunts. Urgently requested wire tapings in the environment of violent Islamists are not approved by the prosecution even without any money lacking for this action. In my case, however, money obviously flew and flows freely. According to documents I could see my above mentioned book had been checked by several clerks sentence for sentence where my information might come from over a period of several weeks. There was also money for wire tapping. When I was talking to journalists the security authorities were in the know. Temporarily I was PBO - marked for observation by police forces. The six searches, the wire tapping, the observation by specialists coming from far away and the analysis of the data have cost a lot of money - money which must lack in investigating terror networks.
For the record, once more: Nobody accuses me of spreading untrue information public statements or in books on the terror networks in Germany and the danger they represent to the public. On the contrary this information is based on truth and is obviously perceived as such a threat to the public that their spreading must be prevented. However if one focuses too much on the bearer of bad news the real danger sometimes gets forgotten.
In February 2006 I published in the magazine "Park Avenue" a long report on the interaction of phone shops and terror cells in Germany. The Federal Office of Criminal Investigation had always responded to my inquiries that there was no such connection while the evidence was on hand at German security authorities. Had I published this evidence and thus exposed the Federal Criminal Police Office the next, seventh searching would probably have followed. It needed the suitcase bombings fortunately prevented by chance until the Federal Criminal Police Office was aware of the cooperation of "call-shops" and terror cells. Today we know that the Lebanese terrorists built their net via the "call-shop" scene in Hamburg and Kiel. In Madrid and London the security authorities had got to such findings as well - only after the attacks.
My book "Der Krieg in unseren Staedten - Wie radikale Islamisten Deutschland unterwandern" (The War in Our Cities - How Radical Islamists Undermine Germany) is no longer available. You can only purchase it second-hand at www.amazon.de and ebay. Most of my forecasts in the books have been confirmed by reality by now, but Islamists succeeded in forcing the publisher to take it quietly off the market in summer 2006. After the book had passed all legal barriers in over three years and was going strong, Islamists form Birmingham and Vienna threatened a flood of law suits. Law suits which obviously had no base at all. One of the claimants stated that he had never been a member of the radical Islamist Muslim brotherhood contrary. When seeking asylum in Germany he justified his demand by stating that he was persecuted in his home country as a member of "Al ikhwan muslimoun". This is the Arabic term for: Muslim Brotherhood.
The treats by these Islamists were backed by the announcement that further legal suits by other Islamists would follow until the book was taken off the market. Publishing house and author have therefore taken the book off the market since not even one politician was willing to give his/her support. Nobody was interested. An end to the investigations against "criminal" Ulfkotte is not in sight. A civil servant lately let me know that an "anonymous note" with suspicions on pedophile pornography on my computer could be enough to justify another search warrant. At the same time I regularly find in my letter box official documents of the Federal Office of Criminal Investigation and the Federal Intelligence Service stamped "confidential" or "secret" - against my will and uncalled for. The first such documents I have returned to the authorities by registered mail. However, the "fun" did not end so far. When I call to ask whom I should return the documents to I do not get a response.
Immediately after the numerous searchings I was furious at the German administrations. Today I feel only pity. And dismay at the politicians who prefer to close their eyes when instead Islamists those who disclose their networks are persecuted. In Islamist circles the name Udo Ulfkotte is now proof that the fundamentalists and those willing to use violence are on the "right" path. A young Muslim in the environment of my students told me that it has to be a sign of Allah that the author of the book "Der Krieg in unseren Staedten" is now a defendant in a criminal process while Islamists continue to recruit follows unhampered.
For many years I go to the forest chapel in the Taunus in the mooring. I light a candle and find strength for a new day in prayer. During all those years of battle and indignity the forest chapel was a place where I could gather confidence. Since February 2006 the chapel has been vandalized several times. In the morning of July 5th I found it in so far the worst state: the candle holders had been struck off the walls and the Madonna made from lime wood had served as target for thrown bottles. When I advised the police on the incident I was asked what I was expecting the police to do. I am not complaining against the police officers in charge. However, I suddenly realized that our society's values have much changed. Had a Muslim prayer room been vandalized - the Office for Criminal Investigation would certainly not have hesitated to open investigations. In this case nothing happened - nothing. Two weeks after the havoc of the chapel a local newspaper reported. That was all. In the meantime the chapel has been vandalized a fourth and fifth time, immediately after it had been painstakingly restored and repainted with donations of the local population. I am no longer bothering the police with such information. Obviously the world I am living in is upside down.

All the projects were dated after the UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in December 1998. These facilities and equipments were part of Iraq clandestine nuclear weapon program before the 1991 Gulf War and they were destroyed by the bombing and some were dismantled by the UN weapon inspector. Rebuilding these nuclear facilities and equipments was totally prohibited per the UN sanctions. The facilities include rebuilding Iraq Radioactive Waste Treatment Station (RWTS) that was destroyed by bombing during operation Desert Storm in 1991. Another project was to rebuild the RadioChemistry laboratories. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) the RWTS and the RadioChemistry Laboratories were part of Iraq clandestine nuclear program (http://www.iraqwatch.org/un/IAEA/s-1997-779-att-3.htm, see section 3.4 of the link). Document CMCP-2004-003978 there is a project by the Iraq Atomic Agency to fix “Furnaces” from the Dicosa brand. Nuclear facilities require very specialized “furnaces” and this type of furnaces is prohibited according to the UN (http://www.iraqwatch.org/un/IAEA/s-1995-215.htm, see point 57 and 58).

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - The European Union was set to back limited United Nations sanctions against Iran on Tuesday after Tehran spurned conditions for opening negotiations on its nuclear programme.
Diplomats said the EU's 25 foreign ministers were due to discuss possible incremental measures targeted initially at individuals and materials involved in Iranian uranium enrichment activities, which the West suspects is aimed at making a bomb."

Peru’s Shining Path head gets life
Many Christians died in the violence
By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries
CALLAO, PERU (ANS) -- The founder of Peru's Shining Path Maoist guerrillas has been found guilty of terrorism at a retrial and been sentenced to life imprisonment. The former philosophy professor Abimael Guzman led a 12-year rebellion in which around 70,000 people died.

Abimael Guzman, famously known as “Presidente Gonzalo,” was sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism on Friday, October 13, by a Peruvian civil tribunal in the city of Callao near Lima.
After years of searching, Abimael Guzman and his partner Elena Iparraguirre were arrested in a house in the capital of Peru, Lima in 1992. After the arrest, a secret military court found both of them guilty but the verdict and life sentence were thrown out in 2003.
Television reports affirmed that many relatives of victims of the Shining Path were also present to hear the verdict in Callao.
According to sources in the Christian community in Peru, the savage killings included those of 30,000 Quechua Christians in the Ayachucho area of the Andes including 800 pastors who were murdered. The violence also has left behind more than 5,000 widows and nearly 14,000 orphaned children.
According to the BBC, the verdicts took several hours to read, and Guzman stood motionless with his arms folded as the court gave its judgment.
Ten other co-defendants were given sentences of between 24 and 35 years.

The BBC report said, “The Shining Path, a Maoist guerrilla group, waged a violent campaign to overthrow the Peruvian state… Survivors from a Shining Path massacre in the Andean village of Lucanamarca, where 69 peasants were shot and hacked to death as a reprisal, gathered outside the court to demand maximum sentences for the defendants.
Ignacio Tacas, a 35-year-old farmer from the village, told the Associated Press news agency, “They killed them with machetes, stones, axes - and for those who did not die in agony in this way, they even put them into a vat of boiling water.”
The Shining Path founder said the massacre had been a response to “reactionary military action.”
The BBC report went on to say, “The insurgency provoked a state backlash by the government of former president Alberto Fujimori which was blamed for tens of thousands more deaths.
“Fujimori is currently in exile in Chile facing extradition to Peru, where prosecutors have been pursuing him on charges relating to corruption in office and human rights violation during the Shining Path crackdown.
Communist slogans
“Guzman's first trial, by a secret military court, was ruled unfair by Peru's constitutional court in 2003. His first re-trial in 2004 ended in chaos after he shouted communist slogans in his defense in front of live television cameras.
“To avoid a repeat performance, tape recorders and cameras were banned from the courtroom for this trial. However, television stations were allowed to use footage from the court's closed-circuit television cameras to broadcast Guzman's sentence live on Friday.
“The year-long hearing was held at the high-security naval base where Guzman has been held since 1993.”
At the start of the trial, Guzman had described himself as a “revolutionary combatant” and not a terrorist.
His lawyer Manuel Fajardo had argued his client should be granted an amnesty because of violations against his right to due process.
He told the Associated Press that the verdict had been based not “strictly on the law, but rather on politics”, and said that the deaths had been an inevitable result of the war between the Shining Path and the Peruvian government.
Mr. Fajardo said they would be appealing against the verdict.
A few hundred Shining Path rebels are still operative in the country's south and south-east, but a BBC correspondent in Lima says they now pose little threat.
Help for some of the victims
The many scars left behind from a decade of violence and terror in Ayacucho, Peru, by the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) guerilla group are still visible amongst the survivors of the killing fields of Ayacucho.
Now a ministry called Latin American Indian Ministries (LAIM), has launched a project to help these widows and orphans.
Dr. Dale W. Kietzman, president of LAIM, explained that there is now the “possibility of doing something very positive for the widows and orphans among the Quechuas of the highlands of Peru.”
He continued, “God has graciously provided an ample location for the beginning of what we envision as a self-supporting community that will, at the same time, provide training for living to the orphans created by the guerilla activities of the Shining Path.
Alma Guillermoprieto wrote in “Letter from Lima: Down the Shining Path,” The New Yorker, 8 February 1993, that Shining Path “has bombed police headquarters and municipal offices, gas stations and middle-class apartment buildings, think tanks and public schools. It has paralyzed the country with so-called armed strikes, and set fire to bus drivers who defied its orders to stay at home on strike days. It has murdered peasant families and leftist leaders. Most often, victims are killed in full view of their family or community. Sometimes they are hanged and sometimes shot, but often an execution-squad member — in many cases a woman — delivers the coup de grace with a knife.”
Dr. Kietzman continued, “Some thought the Shining Path was dead after its top leadership was arrested in 1992. But it is alive and well, still carrying on its nefarious activities in the Eastern Andes, with financial backing now from the drug trade.
“One of the leadership groups targeted has been that of pastors and elders of rural churches. Thousands of pastors and elders were killed. One of the many scars left behind from a decade of violence and terror, in Ayacucho province alone, are more than 5,000 widows and nearly 14,000 orphaned children. These children have no real chance at a future.
