"Al Qaida acquires Russian surface-to-air missiles"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Friday, November 11, 2005
LONDON — Western intelligence sources said Al Qaida-aligned cells have procured the SA-18 anti-aircraft missile from the former Soviet Union. The sources said the missiles were smuggled into Turkey and acquired by Al Qaida-aligned cells in the Middle East.
"These are serious missiles and represents a step up in Al Qaida capability," an intelligence source said.
On Oct. 28, the French daily Le Figaro reported that Al Qaida-aligned cells have obtained SA-18s for attacks against French airliners. The daily said the cells acquired the missiles in 2002 from the so-called Chechen mafia."

Insurgency mastermind stays step ahead of U.S.
LA Times ^ | November 16, 2005 | Josh Meyer and Mark Mazzetti

Despite the recent arrest of one of his would-be suicide bombers in
Jordan and some top aides in Iraq, insurgency mastermind Abu Musab
Zarqawi has eluded capture, U.S. authorities say, because his network
has a much better intelligence-gathering operation than they do.
Zarqawi's organization has been particularly successful because it has
repeatedly targeted Iraqi civilians who tried to aid the American effort
to capture him, frightening off other potential informants, U.S. officials
said Tuesday.

COALITION FORCES CAPTURE HIGH LEVEL BA'ATH PARTY LEADER
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured Hamid Sharki Shadid, the leader of the New Ba’ath Party in Diyala Province, during a patrol November 9th.
Coalition members apprehended Shadid along with physical evidence at his home.
Shadid is a former member of the Ba’ath Party in Diyala Province and is suspected of being responsible for all anti-Iraqi forces Ba’ath Party activities in that area.
Shadid’s capture is a major achievement for Coalition Forces as they believe he can provide crucial information on the whereabouts of former Staff General Jamal Karki, a suspected Ba’athist insurgent, and Abd-al-Baqi al-Sa’adun, who has been a fugitive since the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003.
As the former Ba’ath Party Regional Chairman of Diyala Province and Regional Chairman of Southern Iraq, al Sa’adun is wanted for crimes against humanity committed during the 1999 Shi’ite uprising. Al-Sa’adun has remained a key leader within the Iraqi insurgency, recruiting and financing foreign terrorists in eastern and central Iraq. Al-Sa’adun also actively coordinated, financed and directed attacks against Iraqi police and civilians in Nasiriyah, Basrah and Diyala provinces.
It is believed that Sa’adun finances insurgent activities with money stolen from the people of Iraq during the Saddam regime and that Shadid may be an accomplice.
Coalition Forces will continue their pursuit of al-Sa’adun and Karki and view Shadid’s capture as a step closer to their apprehension. Up to one million U.S. Dollars is being offered to capture or kill Abd-al-Baqi al-Sa’adun.

Iran Warns UN Nuclear Watchdog Ahead of Key
Meeting
YahooNews/AFP ^
Posted on 11/15/2005 6:53:51 PM PST by nuconvert
Iran warns UN nuclear watchdog ahead of key meeting
Nov 15, 2005
Iran's top nuclear negotiator issued a blunt warning to the UN atomic
watchdog, saying more pressure on the Tehran over its controversial
nuclear activities would have "consequences".
The International Atomic Energy Agency is to meet from November 24,
with Iran running the risk of being sent to the UN Security Council
amid suspicions it is using a nuclear energy drive as a cover for
weapons development.
But Ali Larijani, quoted by the ISNA news agency, said a Security
Council referral "would have consequences on Iran's cooperation, and
would not be good for Iran's cooperation".
"If they put too much pressure on Iran, Iran will be forced to work
differently," he said in the latest of a string of warnings to the IAEA
and its 35-nation board of governors.
Iran, which maintains it only wants to make electricity, has already
threatened that if its case is sent to New York it would limit access to
IAEA inspectors and abandon a freeze on uranium enrichment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARREST WARRANTS ISSUED FOR TWO LEADERS IN THE INSURGENCY; ONE HAS TIES TO AL ZARQAWI
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The Iraqi Central Investigating Court in Baghdad issued arrest warrants for two men suspected of leading and facilitating the insurgency against Coalition and Iraqi Forces and who are responsible for many Iraqi deaths.
Issued on October 17, 2005, and only recently made public, was an arrest warrant for Muhammed Hilah Hammad al Ubaydi, also known as Abu Ayman. Abu Ayman, a Saddamist, was a former aide to the Chief of Staff of Intelligence in the Baathist Regime and has been financing and leading insurgency operations since Saddam Hussein’s fall in 2003. The arrest warrant states that Abu Ayman is wanted for violation of Iraqi Penal Code 194, which addresses terrorist activities.
Coalition and Iraqi security forces have long suspected Abu Ayman of leading an extensive network of terrorists, whose aim is to disrupt democracy in Iraq. He is suspected of leading and facilitating kidnappings, improvised explosive device attacks and attacks on convoys that resulted in deaths, assassination attempts on government officials, non-Iraqi citizens, and destruction of property. Abu Ayman has focused his attacks against Iraqi forces in Baghdad, Salman Pak, and Mahmudiyah. Abu Ayman leads the Secret Islamic Army in northern Babil Province, an organization with ties to Abu Musab al Zarqawi and al Qaeda.
Also issued on October 17, 2005 was an arrest warrant for Jamal Wahab al-Dhari al ZawbaI, also known as Abu Asim. A former Special Republican Guard officer under Saddam Hussein, authorities believe Abu Asim has been active within the insurgency since the fall of the former regime.
The arrest warrant states that Asim, like Abu Ayman, is wanted for violation of Iraqi Penal Code 194.
Coalition and Iraqi security forces believe that Abu Asim is responsible for coordinating, facilitating, funding, and training different terrorist groups sharing the common goal of destroying the progress of a free and democratic Iraq. Abu Asim’s focus remains in Baghdad although Coalition and Iraqi Intelligence officials believe Abu Asim is also responsible for terrorist attacks in Abu Ghraib.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AIR FORCE FIGHTERS STRIKE INSURGENTS
SOUTHWEST ASIA — United States Air Force F-15s, F-16s and Predators made air strikes against anti-Iraqi forces near the Iraqi-Syria border Monday in support of Operation Steel Curtain.
After ground forces with the Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines swept into Ubaydi, a town near Karabilah, and came in contact with anti-Iraqi forces, F-15s were called in and delivered precision-guided bombs against enemy forces in a grove of trees.
A Predator fired a Hellfire missile at a building from where enemy forces were shooting and successfully drove them from their location.
Later Monday, F-16s and a Predator responded to provide ground support in the same area. The Predator successfully launched a Hellfire missile against insurgents entrenched in a tree line.
The intent of Operation Steel Curtain is to restore Iraqi sovereign control along the Iraq-Syria border and destroy the al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists operating throughout the Al Qa’im region. The towns of Husaybah and Karabilah were cleared earlier in the operation which began Nov. 5 and a permanent security presence has been established. Approximately 1,000 Iraqi Army soldiers and 2,500 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors are participating in Operation Steel Curtain.
It is suspected that many of the terrorists who are now fighting in Ubaydi fled from Husaybah and Karabilah, the first two cities that were secured by Iraqi and Coalition Forces at the beginning of the operation.
While the fighting has been sporadic, it has been characterized by commanders on the ground as some of the heaviest since Operation Steel Curtain began Nov. 5.
Intelligence reports indicate that the strong resistance to the Iraqi and Coalition push into the city is due in large part to the fact that terrorists believe they are trapped and have nowhere else to go.
An additional 30 terrorists have been killed since last night, for an overall total of approximately 80 killed since entering the city yesterday morning. Most of those terrorists were targeted by coalition air strikes, although some were killed in direct small-arms fire engagements with Iraqi and Coalition Forces on the ground.
Iraqi and Coalition Forces continue to clear the city house-by-house, occasionally encountering buildings that are rigged with explosives and triggered to detonate upon entering the building. Numerous weapons caches have also been seized, to include several that contained suicide vests and bomb making material. Overall, there have been 36 weapons caches found and destroyed during Operation Steel Curtain.
Iraqi and Coalition Forces have also discovered numerous improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and mines during the operation, the vast majority of which were destroyed by Coalition Forces before they could inflict any damage. The precise locations of many IEDs were revealed by detained terrorists. There have been a total of 107 IEDs and mines discovered during the course of Operation Steel Curtain.
Several detainees were captured trying to sneak out of the area by crawling among a flock of sheep. Overall, there have been approximately 150 terrorists detained since Operation Steel Curtain began 10 days ago.
Ubaydi is located on the banks of the Euphrates River, 20 km from the Syrian border and separated into two main areas, Old and New Ubaydi. Old Ubaydi has been cleared and now the Iraqi Army and Coalition forces are focusing on clearing the al-Qaeda in Iraq stronghold of New Ubaydi.
This offensive is part of the larger Operation Sayaid (Hunter), designed to prevent al Qaeda in Iraq from operating in the Euphrates River Valley and throughout Al Anbar and to establish a permanent Iraqi Army presence in the Al Qa’im region.
NOTE:
· The F-15s involved in these air strikes are deployed from RAF Lakenheath, UK
· The F-16s involved in these air strikes are deployed from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth

UK bomber attacks Muslim leaders
From the Sydney Morning Herald:
Mohammed Sidique Khan, one of the four apparent suicide bombers who attacked London on July 7, condemned British Muslim leaders on a video aired for the first time on Tuesday.
In the clip shown on Britain's Channel 4 television, Khan urged British Muslims to take part in jihad - "holy war" or "spiritual struggle" - and accused "so-called community leaders" of being "content with their Toyotas and their semi-detached houses".
The money quote?
"They tell us ludicrous things like 'You must obey the law of the land.' How on earth did we conquer lands in the past if we were to obey this law? By Allah, these scholars will be brought to account.

Iran militia to form human chain protest
The Age ^ | 11-17-05
Posted on 11/16/2005 11:58:53 AM PST by markedmannerf
Iran's volunteer Islamic militiamen are vowing to form a human chain
along the length of the country's borders as a show of force against
international pressure on Tehran's atomic program.
Iran faces referral to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions
after failing to convince the world its nuclear fuel program is intended
for power stations rather than warheads.
Mohammad Hejazi, head of the volunteer basij militia, swore he had
enough people to girdle the country.
"Nine million basij will form a human chain around Iran on November
26 in support of the country's right to peaceful nuclear energy," he
told state television.
He said the chain would run to about 8,700km and added President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would attend the ceremony.
Hejazi gave no account of how Iran's rickety transport networks would
move nine million people to Iran's often highly inaccessible borders.
Iran's conservative leadership says as many as 11 million of its 68
million people are loyal basij militia members, but the numbers are
impossible to verify.
