“2 Pentagon Police Officers Shot Outside D.C. Metro Station”
Thursday, March 04, 2010

SNIPPET: “The motive for the shooting in suburban Washington, D.C., wasn’t immediately clear, but Fox News confirmed the gunman was identified as 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell.

A second person was being questioned by authorities, but sources say that person may just be a witness and not considered a suspect .

The gunman was calm as he approached the officers at the main entrance around 6:40 p.m., Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevil said at a news conference. The officers asked to see his pass to enter the building; he started shooting without saying a word.”

Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as John Patrick Bedell, 36.
According to the Hollister Free Lance newspaper, local sources confirmed Bedell is the son of Kaye Bedell, the director of Allied Health at Gavilan College, and his father is John Bedell, Sr., a local financial planner.

The Washington Post reported that when a call was made to a home in Hollister, a man identified himself as John Bedell and said he had a 36-year-old son in the Washington D.C. area named John Patrick Bedell before hanging up.”

“Shooting at Pentagon entrance by lone gunman leaves 2 police officers hurt”

VIDEO

By Allison Klein, Clarence Williams and Martin Weil
Friday, March 5, 2010

SNIPPET: “Police declined to identify the shooter, but two federal law enforcement sources identified him as John Patrick Bedell, 36. One of the sources said Bedell was seen on a surveillance video near the Pentagon talking to another man. Police were looking for the second man Thursday night but did not know whether he was involved in any way in the shooting.

One federal law enforcement source said the second man was not thought to have been involved.”

THE CYBER THREAT
Using Intelligence to Predict and Prevent
03/04/10

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III
On Thursday, the Director spoke for the first time at the RSA Conference. Stock photo.

Terrorists plotting and scheming anonymously online—and posting videos on how to build everything from backpack bombs to bio-weapons.

Spies, hired cyber mercenaries, and criminal syndicates worming their way into government networks, attempting to steal our nation’s most sensitive secrets.

Criminal hackers using seemingly innocuous information about a business and its employees to create highly-realistic yet bogus e-mails that can give them a back door into a company’s network and even a permanent window into everything it does.

On Thursday, FBI Director Robert Mueller talked about these and other cyber threats—along with how we are working with partners around the globe to tackle them—during a keynote address at the annual RSA computer security conference in San Francisco.

The Director said that our intelligence indicates the threat of cyber terror is “real and rapidly expanding,” including the rise of extremist websites that recruit, radicalize, and incite violence.

Partners in Prevention

Last year, the FBI became aware of an emerging and potentially far-reaching cyber vulnerability involving automated banking transactions. How it played out from there is indicative of how we are using intelligence today to stay ahead of the curve in the fast-moving, infinitely complex world of cyber crime:

Paper no. 3702

05-Mar-2010

“Fresh Fears of Maritime Terrorism - International Terrorism Monitor—Paper No. 626”
By B. Raman

SNIPPET: “6. It is in this context that one has to see reports from Singapore that an unidentified terrorist group is planning attacks against oil tankers in the Malacca Strait. The Singapore Shipping Association has been quoted as saying on March 2, 2010, that it had received an advisory from the Singapore Navy Information Fusion Centre about “an indication that a terrorist group is planning attacks on oil tankers in the Malacca Strait.” It added: “This does not preclude possible attacks on other large vessels with dangerous cargo.” The Navy Centre’s advisory reportedly said: “The terrorists’ intent is probably to achieve widespread publicity and showcase that it remains a viable group.” It reminded shipping operators that the militants could use smaller vessels such as dinghies and speedboats to attack oil tankers. It recommended that ships should “strengthen their onboard security measures and adopt community reporting to increase awareness and strengthen the safety of all seafarers,” according to the Association.”

Belgium: Police suspect PKK ran training camps

Twenty two people were detained in the Belgian raids. 14 have seen been freed, and the eight remaining put under arrest. It is not clear if PKK leaders Zubeyir Aydar and Remzi Kartal are among those arrested.

The arrests followed a three-year investigation. The prosecution says there is strong evidence that the PKK recruited (mostly) Kurdish youth and sent them to training camps in Belgium, Germany and other Western European countries for indoctrination. They also received military training in Greece and in eastern and northern Iraq in order to later fight the Turkish policy and army forces. The PKK is also charged of counterfeiting identity documents and for collecting money using violence and threats.

A hundred Kurds surrounded the Roj TV building in Denderleeuw, and impeded the raid on the place. Several dozen managed to break in in the afternoon. One police agent was injured and taken to hospital. The police managed to arrest several others, who were freed after the building occupiers agreed to leave. A water cannon was later brought in to force the protesters out of the parking lot.

snipped

The PKK is calling all European Kurds to come to Brussels and demonstrate against the ‘hostile attack’ against them. The PKK said Belgium was using “state terror” aimed at “humiliating the Kurdish people”.


Police sought out high-profile Kurds in Belgium on Thursday as part of a Europewide investigation and Turkish sources said 15 arrests included ex-lawmakers.

The raids followed an announcement by France on Wednesday that nine Kurds were charged with terror offences following their arrest last week for allegedly recruiting fighters for the PKK separatist group.

US criticized on Iran sanctions

By John Pomfret and Colum Lynch
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 5, 2010; A10

The Obama administration is pushing to carve out an exemption for China
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/countries/china.html?nav=el
and other permanent members of the U.N. Security Council from legislation
pending in the Senate and the House that would tighten sanctions on
companies doing business in Iran administration and congressional sources said.

China has balked at supporting a fourth round of U.N. sanctions on Iran.
That has emboldened countries on the council, such as Brazil
Turkey and Lebanon to also express opposition.

snipped

Similar behavior has been seen in Chinese companies before. Over the course
of the past decade, Japanese firms, under U.S. pressure, have divested
significantly in Iran’s oil and gas industry. As they have pulled out, China
has moved in.

Today China has commitments of more than $80 billion in Iran’s energy
sector. Japan, which once had a 70 percent interest in the Azadegan oil
field, has reduced it to 10 percent. Last August, a Chinese consortium led
by the Chinese National Petroleum Company signed a memorandum of
understanding to invest $3 billion in the field.
