In a letter to a British parliamentarian last month, a senior State Department official insisted that the United States was “doing its utmost” to ensure that Iraq’s government would treat 3,400 Iranian exiles living at Camp Ashraf in eastern Iraq “humanely.” Two weeks later, a clash between the exiles and Iraqi police left 11 Iranians dead, and 36 were taken into custody by Iraqi forces. Americans troops had guarded the camp since 2003, but recently handed over responsibility to Iraqi forces. Baghdad promised that the exiles would be protected. There is no authoritative version of events, but it does not...

SNIPPET: "In late June, a day or two after the start of the large-scale federal Russian military operation in Chechnya and Ingushetia, one of Dokka Umarov’s commanders – a man named Abdul-Malik – contacted the North Caucasus service of Radio Svoboda. He said that a large unit of Kadyrov’s police, together with Russian soldiers, were combing an area of mountain and forest in the vicinity of Shali. He added that a mujahedin detachment of 20 men had left the mountains and gone down to the plain. The task of each of these volunteers – each man had taken the decision...

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Successful counter-terrorism can be described as a non-event. Nothing happens because we are successful in identifying people who are intent on committing an act or acts of terrorism, and manage to somehow intervene to prevent them from doing so. When we fail to identify and focus our efforts on the right people, however, bad things happen."

Today, the conclusion a five-part National Post series about a Canadian family that got deeply involved with an Iranian guerrilla group -- and now regrets it.- - - TORONTO - The voice on the speakerphone was faint. "Hello. I am Somayeh Mohammady," the caller said. "I'm in Ashraf city, in Iraq." Somayeh was calling from Camp Ashraf, the headquarters of the guerrilla group she had joined when she was 17 years old. Standing outside on the sidewalk for better reception, she held a borrowed satellite phone to her ear while 10,000 kilometres away her muffled words were broadcast through a...

MELBOURNE, June 12 (Bernama) -- The scheduled release on Wednesday of Abu Bakar Bashir, alleged spiritual leader of the extremist group Jemaah Islamiah, could spark a fresh round of terror strikes. Rohan Gunaratna, Head of the International Centre for Terrorism and Political Violence Research, told "The Australian" newspaper the early release of Abu Bakar would send a dangerous message to terror groups. "Bashir is also the leader of the Majelis Mujahedin Indonesia, an umbrella organisation of jihad groups in Indonesia," Dr Gunaratna was quoted as saying. "He will mobilise them, he will politicise them. He has the credentials because he...

WASHINGTON, Nov 01, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Already divided between north and south, war-ravaged Afghanistan appears to be moving toward a more permanent partition.The process of partition began long before the extremist Taliban militia was formed in 1994. According to some analysts it started with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.Created as a buffer zone between British India and the former Russian empire, Afghanistan survived the departure of the British from the subcontinent in 1947 because the fear of Soviet communism kept its various factions together.The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and its disgraceful ...

Insider notes from United Press International for Dec. 17: WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- A European security think tank reports fresh movement of Islamist "volunteer" fighters on the Iraqi-Syrian border. But this time the mujahedin are not entering Iraq; they are leaving it. The Brussels-based European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center said in a study published this week that last month's coalition offensive against Fallujah destroyed the Sunni insurgents' main base and its ability to receive foreign volunteers and integrate them into the fighting. As a result many of the estimated 1,500 to 2,000 mujahedin -- mainly from other Arab...

Former Bosnian army officer claims that government troops were unable to control foreign fighters on their territory. By Michael Farquhar in The Hague (TU No 379, 29-Oct-04) A former Bosnian army officer has told judges presiding over the trial of Enver Hadzihasanovic that local government forces were unable to stop foreign fighters from committing war crimes in central Bosnia in 1993. This week the court also heard more about the difficulties facing Hadzihasanovic’s troops at the time – including a lack of food, weapons and trained personnel, and conflict with local Croat forces who were meant to be their allies....

INZARKAI, Afghanistan : In the provinces of southeastern Afghanistan his name is already that of a legend -- but Jalaluddine Haqqani is not just an anti-Soviet mujahedin hero, he is also playing a key role in the Taliban. His status was confirmed by his re-appointment as the man in charge of military operations for the ousted fundamentalist militia at a "shura rahbari", or supreme council, in March 2003 presided over by Mullah Omar, the one-eyed fugitive leader of the Taliban. Little-known in the West, Haqqani has become the right-hand man to Mullah Omar in his drive to launch a "jihad"...

NASIR AL WA SALAM, Iraq -- Soldiers from Fort Bragg's 82nd Airborne Division are providing security for several members of an Iranian paramilitary group that the U.S. State Department lists as a terrorist organization. The paratroopers are guarding a compound at Nasir Al Wa Salam that U.S. officers said is the home of a handful of members of the Mujahedin-E Khalq or MEK -- also known as the People's Mujahedeen. Members are free to come and go. The MEK is dedicated to overthrowing the Iranian government and conducted attacks on Iran during the 1980s and 1990s. The group was nurtured...

How we trained al-Qa’eda 9/6/2003 Brendan O’Neill says the Bosnian war taught Islamic terrorists to operate abroad For all the millions of words written about al-Qa’eda since the 9/11 attacks two years ago, one phenomenon is consistently overlooked — the role of the Bosnian war in transforming the mujahedin of the 1980s into the roving Islamic terrorists of today. Many writers and reporters have traced al-Qa’eda and other terror groups’ origins back to the Afghan war of 1979–1992, that last gasp of the Cold War when US-backed mujahedin forces fought against the invading Soviet army. It is well documented that...

U.S. bombs Mujahedin; backers hide Congressional supporters of an Iraq-based terrorist organization kept a low profile this week after confirmation that U.S.-led coalition forces attacked their bases during the final days of the war. The group, known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), is made up of Iranian dissidents based in Baghdad. Despite a history of violence against Americans and its common cause with former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the group developed a significant following in Congress for its opposition to Tehran’s mullahs. In 1997, the State Department identified the MEK as a foreign terrorist organization. Last Tuesday, General Richard Myers,...

<p>September 17, 2002 -- NEW Jersey voters already concerned about Sen. Robert Torricelli's low ethical threshold now learn that he's been a paid shill for a group the government identifies as a terrorist organization. Called on this by his Republican opponent, Douglas Forrester, in a debate Thursday, Torricelli said the group had been pulled from the State Department's global terror list and given a clean bill of health. Not true.</p>

Mujahedin In Macedonia, or, an Enormous Embarrassment For the West by Christopher Deliso March 12, 2002 THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG #150; BUT THE WEST TRIES TO STUFF IT BACK IN Macedonia has always maintained that Islamic mujahedin are fighting for the Albanian NLA. Yet somehow, the proof presented was never quite good enough for the West. After all, the stakes were mighty high. For the UN, OSCE, NATO and sundry NGO's, it remains of the utmost importance to minimize signs of quot;blowbackquot; whenever possible. In other words, to show that their presence #150; and their coddling of the...
