"Canada to Develop No-Fly List as Part of Security Upgrade"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) -- Canada is developing a no-fly list in an effort to prevent terrorist attacks and make air travel safer, the federal transport minister announced Friday.

The program, called Passenger Protect, will identify people who pose ''an immediate threat to aviation security'' and will work with airlines to stop suspects from flying, Transport Minister Jean Lapierre told reporters in Halifax, the provincial capital of Nova Scotia.

''This list is going to be revised regularly, and it's not going to be published all over the place,'' said Lapierre, adding that the list would be ready by 2006 and shared with all airlines, sea ports and border crossings."

Task Force Baghdad Soldiers conducted Operation Able Warrior to defeat terror cells operating west of the Baghdad International Airport in the early-morning hours of Aug. 4.


In less than three hours, Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment, 48th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division conducted a series of simultaneous attacks and captured 41 suspected terrorists, including three foreign fighters.


"We went out and did what we set out to do—this was a picture-perfect mission," said Lt. Col. Steve McCorkle, commander of 2nd Bn., 121st Inf. Reg. from Warner Robins, Ga.


Operation Able Warrior was conducted in order to disrupt car bombing cells and roadside bomb emplacers, and prevent them from planning, preparing and carrying out terrorist attacks in the area.


"We want to set the Iraq Army up for success. This operation will help the Iraqi Security Forces take more control of the day-to-day operations," said Lt. Col. Thomas Carden, a spokesperson for the 48th BCT and resident of Americus, Ga.
