Afghan, Coalition Forces Kill 35 Insurgents
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 16, 2008 – Afghan and coalition forces killed 35 insurgents during operations yesterday and June 14, military officials said.
Afghan national security forces and coalition forces killed 20 militants who attacked a combined reconnaissance patrol in the Deh Chopan district of Afghanistan’s Zabul province yesterday. Officials said the militants attacked the combined forces with rockets, mortars and small-arms fire in a mountainous river valley. Afghan and coalition forces returned fire and called in precision aircraft strikes to kill the militants.
During a June 14 operation, 15 insurgents were killed after they attacked a combined Afghan and coalition patrol in the Sangin district of Helmand province.
During their patrol, the soldiers saw a large group of women and children leaving a village. As the soldiers moved closer to the village, they saw a group of men near the tree line. The men engaged the combined force, using rockets and small-arms fire.
Officials said the Afghan and coalition forces returned fire and moved to a better location to engage the extremists and to guide coalition aircraft for precision air strikes. After about two hours of fighting, the enemy positions were destroyed, killing 15 militants.

“The next attack: Coming soon”

COLUMN SNIPPET: “When the terrorists attack again — as Homeland Security has repeatedly warned us they will — how many survivors will be consoled because the Supreme Court and the State Department looked out for the “rights” of terrorists before the rights of their dead loved ones?”

The Strategic Threat of Nuclear Terrorism
“Featuring Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, Director, Department of Energy Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence”
June 16, 2008
ARTICLE-SPEECH SNIPPET: “On June 16, 2006, Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence addressed The Washington Institute’s Special Policy Forum. The following is the prepared text of his remarks.
In 1998, Osama bin Laden said that it was an Islamic duty to acquire weapons of mass destruction, and it is through this prism that most people view the threat of nuclear terrorism. The post-9/11 successes against the Taliban in Afghanistan yielded volumes of information that changed our view of al-Qaeda’s nuclear program. We learned that al-Qaeda wants weapons to use, not a program to sustain and build a stockpile, as most states would. Al-Qaeda obtained a fatwa in May 2003 from Saudi cleric Naser al-Fadh that attempted to justify the use of weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, al-Qaeda spokesman Suleyman abu Ghayth said in 2003 that it is al-Qaeda’s right to kill 4 million Americans in retaliation for Muslim deaths that al-Qaeda blames on the United States. In January 2006, bin Laden threatened that “operations are being prepared and you will see them in your own backyard,” and past experience strongly suggests that they will strive to conduct an attack more spectacular than 9/11. Based on such information, most people would agree that al-Qaeda personifies today’s nuclear terrorism threat.
It would be a mistake, however, to view nuclear terrorism strictly through the prism of the threat posed by al-Qaeda today. Taking this view leads to a simplistic solution — if we prevent al-Qaeda from acquiring a nuclear capability, we eliminate the threat. As important as this is, the sober reality is that the threat posed by nuclear terrorism is much broader than the aspirations of any single terrorist group. We live in a world of escalating levels of asymmetric vulnerabilities. Increasing numbers of disaffected groups are turning to violence to achieve their goals.”
COUNTERTERRORISM BLOG.org: "THE NUCLEAR NETWORK" by Douglas Farah (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "My sources in the intelligence community have suspected for several years that the network of senior Russian officials operating the criminal enterprise that Viktor Bout was a part of, had gotten ahold of at least two copies of the plans. Given Bout's extensive contact lists with radical and criminal groups, and those of the Russian organized crime that are creeping in to many new places, including the Caribbean and Mexico, it is hard to overstate how dangerous this is.") (June 16, 2008, 05:34 pm)
COUNTERTERRORISM BLOG.org: "ABOUT BOUT & THE DEA" by Aaron Mannes (BLOG ENTRY SNIPPET: "The recently unsealed indictment of arms-trafficker extraordinaire Victor Bout is an interesting read. Perhaps the most notable line is on page 10, when Bout told the DEA operatives (who he believed represented the FARC) that America was also his enemy and their fight was his fight. Another international arms dealer, Monzar al-Kasser, who was arrested in a DEA sting, promised the informants to raise an army for the FARC in order to fight the Americans.") (May 9, 2008, 05:05 pm)
