I have been following the armies on the Mexican border since 1999.
Another group that I was in, we kept up on the border also, there would be no problem moving a full army across the desert at several points.
I lived at Wellton, Arizona, it is 40 miles from the Mexican border and I could have shown you where to bring your army across the mountains and miss the sensors on the bombing range.
We found a well maintained road (maintained by hand tools) over the mountains that did not exist on any map and the feds did not know of.
We drove it in a 68 Chev. pickup.

This is another border subject that does not die, I first
followed it in 1999, tonight I heard a caller to KDWN speak of it.

China has nine brigades of ICBMs, Web site claims
Taipei Times ^ | 7/27/05
Posted on 07/26/2005 10:32:35 PM PDT by LibWhacker
The 2005 US report on Chinese military power has a previously undisclosed part that says China has nine brigades armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching the US, claims an article on a Web site which specializes on China's military weapons.
The article, carried by the Web site www.zgjunshi.com, claims that the unreleased part of the Pentagon report released July 19 says that three of the nine brigades are equipped with Dong Feng-31 land-based mobile strategic missiles, with the other six armed with Dong Feng-5 ICBMs.
In addition, China's 094 nuclear submarines, armed with strategic missiles, have undertaken many secret sea trials.
These submarines could become China's new, less expensive way of deploying ICBMs, the article quotes the undisclosed part of the Pentagon report as saying.
China plans to have six Type 094 nuclear-powered submarines armed with strategic ballistic missiles and four Type 093 nuclear attack submarines, so that the nation would have the capability to launch a second wave of nuclear strikes, according to the Web site.
It also claims that the US is concerned about China's development of cruise missiles and that currently China has two brigades equipped with these missiles.

l-Qaida in Iraq Says Algerian Diplomats Sentenced to Death
By Alisha Ryu
Baghdad
26 July 2005
Ryu report - Download 472k
Listen to Ryu report
Al-Qaida in Iraq has posted a video of two men, believed to be Algerian diplomats kidnapped
last Thursday. The group says the pair has been sentenced to death and would soon be killed.
A video, posted on an Internet website, shows two blindfolded men who identify themselves as
Ali Belaroussi and Izzedine Belkadi.
Last Thursday gunmen seized Ali Belaroussi, Algeria's top envoy to Iraq, and his aide in a bold,
daytime assault in Baghdad. The al-Qaida terrorist group in Iraq, led by Sunni militant Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for that attack and three others on top diplomats from
Muslim countries in recent weeks.
The terrorist group says the two Algerian diplomats have been sentenced to death for working
as representatives of a government that recognized Iraq's democratically elected government.
The statement's authenticity has not been verified, but al-Qaida has condemned democracy as going against Islam and has warned Muslim
nations not to establish diplomatic ties with Baghdad.
It is not known whether the sentences against the Algerians have been carried out. Algerian officials confirmed Monday that the mission's
last remaining diplomat has left Baghdad to return to Algiers.
On July 7, al-Qaida in Iraq said it had executed the head of Egypt's mission in Baghdad, Ihab al-Sherif, who was kidnapped by gunmen two
days earlier. But the envoy's body has not been found.
Iraqi and U.S. officials believe the kidnappings and threats are part of an attempt by al-Qaida to isolate the interim Iraqi government from
other Muslim countries, as Iraq forges ahead with plans to draft a constitution and create a broad-based, permanent government by the
end of the year.
In a separate posting on the Internet, the terrorists warned the country's Sunni Arabs that they would become targets of attacks if they
took part in the political process.
The threat is similar to those issued against the community before elections in January. Fearing attacks and heeding boycott calls by
hard-line Sunni clerics, most Sunni Arabs stayed away from the polls, leaving the religious minority severely under-represented in
government.
A spokesman for the Sunni Iraqi Islamic political party, Ammar Wajeeh, acknowledges that Iraqi Sunnis, feeling angry and disenfranchised
after the fall of fellow Sunni Saddam Hussein, violently resisted U.S.-backed plans to create a new, democratic government. But Mr. Wajeeh
says most Sunni Arabs are now convinced that boycotting the elections was a mistake because it helped Shi'ite and Kurds win control of
the new government.
He says Sunni leaders are trying to make their followers understand that the al-Qaida in Iraq group, whose membership is made up mostly
of foreign Arab extremists, should not be dictating Iraq's political future.
"We try to isolate the Iraqi people from these groups who come from outside," said Mr. Wajeeh. "I think if the Iraqi people share in the
political process, this will lessen their number and this will reduce their acceptance. You know we have a problem in the western
governorates, they accept them, sometimes hide them in their houses. We want these things to be resolved because they really make a real
problem for us."
In Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari and President Jalal Talabani held talks with Polish Prime Minister Marek Belka.
Mr. Belka pledged to keep Poland's more than 14-hundred troops in Iraq until early next year, when it is due to begin a gradual withdrawal.
A small military contingent is scheduled to stay in Iraq to help train Iraqi security forces.
Poland has the third-largest military contingent in the U.S.-led coalition.

Alarm on fire engine thefts
By Brendan Nicholson
Defence Correspondent
Umm Qasr, Southern Iraq
July 27, 2005
Iraqi insurgents have stolen eight new fire engines and authorities
here fear they will be used to carry out a mass bombing in the
southern city of Basra.
The Age was told the vehicles were taken from a road convoy several
days ago. Officials believe insurgents could create an incident
designed to attract a crowd at which the fire engines would be used as
vehicle bombs.
"They want to cause mass civilian casualties to turn the people against
us," a Coalition military official said.
The fear is that insurgents using the emergency vehicles could drive
through military and police checkpoints with relative ease.
While southern Iraq has not seen the violence that ravages the area
around Baghdad, three British soldiers were killed near Basra a week
ago.
Iraqi civilians working for the coalition forces have been dragged from
their homes and murdered by insurgents.
A contingent of 450 Australians is based to the west of Basra in
al-Muthanna province.
Military authorities hope locals will provide information about the
stolen fire engines. They said civilians in southern Iraq have proved
more willing to take on the insurgents than those in and around
Baghdad.
As an example, they told of two Jordanians who infiltrated this area
recently and offered $1000 for each Westerner murdered.
A contractor working locally made a counter offer — $2000 each for
the Jordanians. They disappeared soon after, a British officer said.
The Royal Navy team in Umm Qasr has taken over training Iraq's new
coastal defence force from the Royal Australian Navy.
The Iraqis will be responsible for defending the area from insurgents
and pirates, known locally as "Ali Babas", who use fast motor boats to
prey on dhows and small merchant ships.
Commodore Steve Gilmore, the Australian commander of the Coalition
naval force that protects the oil export platforms just off the coast of
Iraq, says the new Iraqi navy is improving fast.

Criticism of Suicide Bombers Censored at the UN
By JihadWatch.org
JihadWatch.org | July 27, 2005
The International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) is the World Union of Humanist, Secular and Rationalist
organisations, with 100 member organisations in about 40 countries. Here is a press release from them (thanks
to Andrew Bostom):
CRITICISM OF SUICIDE BOMBERS CENSORED AT THE UN
IHEU today attempted to call on the United Nations to condemn
killing in the name of religion, but were prevented from doing so by the heavy-handed intervention
of Islamic representatives. The IHEU call, at today's meeting of the UN Sub-Commission on Human
Rights in Geneva, follows moves by Islamic clerics to legitimise the current wave of terror attacks.
At this afternoon's meeting, IHEU representative David Littman attempted to deliver a prepared text
in the joint names of three international NGOs: the Association for World Education, the Association
of World Citizens, and IHEU, but was prevented from doing so by the intervention of Islamic
members of the Sub-Commission. After repeated interruptions he was unable to complete his
speech.
The Islamic members of the Sub-Commission objected to the speech as an attack on Islam. The
text however is a report on recent critical comment on Islamist extremism by a number of notable
Muslim writers and is a call to the UN Human Rights Commission by the NGOs "to condemn calls to
kill, to terrorise or to use violence in the name of God or any religion".
The text referred to recent decisions by high-ranking Muslim clerics
confirming that those who carry out suicide bombings cannot be treated as apostates and remain
Muslims(1), a fatwa by a Saudi cleric that innocent Britons were a legitimate target for terrorist
action(2), and remarks by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, dean of the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies at
Qatar University who has visited Britain, that terror attacks are permissible.
Commenting on this censorship, Roy Brown, President of IHEU said:
"This is part and parcel of the refusal by the Islamic representatives at the UN to condemn the
suicide bombers, or to accept any criticism of those who kill innocent people in the name of God.
These actions follow the refusal of the Islamic states at the meeting of the Commission in April to
condemn those who kill in the name of religion, and to categorise their attempts to criticise Islamic
terrorists as "defamation of religion".
"It is high time", Mr Brown insisted "that the Islamic States at the UN recognised that the suicide
bombers are acting in the name of their
religion, and to unequivocally condemn their actions."

"Report: One Failed London Bomber Arrested"
Wednesday, July 27, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON — British police have arrested one of the four alleged terrorists who botched an attack on London's (search) transit system on July 21, FOX News' sister network in the U.K. reports.
Reporters for Sky News say that Scotland Yard (search) has made six arrests in the failed terror attacks, beginning at 12:30 a.m. EDT.
One of the men was zapped with a taser gun during his arrest in Birmingham (search) and is described as one of the four suspected terrorists. He has been taken to the high-security facility at London's Paddington Green police station (search) for questioning. Explosives specialists were called to the scene of the arrest to investigate a suspicious package. One hundred homes in the Hays Mills area of Birmingham were evacuated while the package was disposed of in a controlled explosion."
I am glad to see this in print.

"‘Al-Qaeda chief has well-stocked teams in place’"
By Neil Mackay, Investigations Editor and David Pratt, Foreign Editor
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Intelligence and security analysts believe that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an al-Qaeda chief in Iraq, has built up such a well-stocked team of fighters that he has been able to send a number of trained terrorists back to their countries of origin in recent months.
The fact that Islamic terrorists have been able to sustain daily suicide attacks in Iraq while still drafting seasoned veterans out of the country for operations in Europe and the Middle East underscores the strength of the insurgency in Iraq.
Prior to the London bombings, Zarqawi threatened Britain, Italy, France, Denmark and Russia. The UK and Italy were top of the hit list. Also under threat were the nations of Egypt – which was hit early yesterday morning with devastating car bombs – Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Zarqawi also warned Israel that the state was “in his sights – and very soon”. There are major fears that the next al-Qaeda-inspired terror strike could employ some sort of dirty bomb in order to ramp up global panic.
Some intelligence analysts estimate up to 1000 foreign fighters in Iraq may have been ordered back to their homelands in countries as disparate as Egypt and Britain to prepare for assaults in their own states."

"Man Gets Prison in Cigarette Smuggling"
Updated: Wednesday, Jul. 27, 2005 - 3:48 AM
By CAROLYN THOMPSON
Associated Press Writer
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A Yemeni-American businessman accused of helping pay for a group of men to travel to a terrorist training camp was sentenced Tuesday to more than three years in prison for his role in a cigarette smuggling operation.
Aref Ahmed was convicted in March 2004 on charges of money laundering and trafficking in contraband cigarettes.
Federal prosecutors say that Ahmed gave $14,000 to five members of the so-called Lackawanna Six and had tried to get his money back after learning some of the men left the al-Qaida camp without completing their training.
Ahmed has not been charged in the Lackawanna case. The issue was raised as part of the government's request to deny Ahmed bail.
Ahmed's attorneys have denied the allegations.
The Lackawanna Six _ Sahim Alwan, Faysal Galab, Mukhtar al-Bakri, Yasein Taher, Yahya Goba and Shafal Mosed _ are serving sentences ranging from seven to 10 years after pleading guilty in 2003 to providing support to a terrorist organization."
Amen, MD. If Israel's enemies would stop shooting at them and work with them instead, they'd be amazed at the prosperity, both material and spiritual, they could reap.
