Snip: Nearly all of the cargo in the nation's aviation system goes unchecked for explosives, and policies aimed at thwarting cargo bombs on passenger planes are flawed, according to a government report due out Wednesday.
Terrorists could foil the government's strategy for keeping bombs out of cargo holds by meeting a few basic requirements that would allow them to put an explosives-laden package on a jet, the Government Accountability Office said.
Suicide bombings too random to be good jihad
Snip: "Islam does not recognize suicide bombings (used by terrorists for jihad) because the enemy and victims are too random," he explained.
..."victims are too random..."
Well, isn't that insightful? (/sarcasm off)
Well, isn't that insightful? (/sarcasm off)
At least he's condemning suicide bombing in general, and also restricting the concept of jihad to situations where Muslims are actually being attacked or oppressed. For example he specifically excludes Indonesia as a place where jihad of any kind would be justified because there isn't any active war or oppression against the Muslim population going on there.
It's a lot better than the deafening silence that you too often hear.

Release Number: 05-11-80
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EXTRADITION REQUEST SUBMITTED TO BRING SADDAM HUSSEIN NEPHEW AND TERRORIST LEADER TO JUSTICE
BAGHDAD , Iraq -- Iraqi Attorney General Chathanfar Hmod Al-Jasim presented Interpol with an extradition request to bring Omar Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan Al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein’s nephew, from Yemen’s capital back to Baghdad to stand trial for violating Article 194 of the Iraqi Penal Code – committing acts of terror.
Omar Sabawi, the son of Saddam Hussein’s half brother, Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan Al-Tikriti, has been sought by Iraqi officials for several years for his leadership role in and financial support to terrorist organizations targeting Iraqi and Coalition Forces, as well as Iraqi civilians. The recent extradition request is the latest effort to bring Omar Sabawi to justice.
Other members of the Sabawi family have been incarcerated for their roles in leading the insurgency. Omar Sabawi’s brother, Aymen, stood trial this past summer in Baghdad and received a lengthy sentence for his role in financing terrorist activities. Two other brothers, Yassir and Ibrahim, are in prison for their financial and organizational support of terrorist activities. Omar’s father, Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan Al-Tikriti, former Director of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, is awaiting trial for committing crimes against humanity.
Born in Baghdad in 1970, Omar Sabawi, aka Al-Alusi or Uma Ahmad Ali, focused much of his financial support and leadership on terrorist activities throughout northern and central Iraq, including Mosul. His efforts resulted in many deaths, injuries and destruction of property.
Attorney General Al-Jasim fully expects Yemen’s cooperation with Interpol in extraditing Omar Sabawi from Sana’a to Baghdad so that the free and democratic Iraqi people can bring Omar Sabawi to justice.

SEARCH NETS TERRORIST SUSPECTS
TIKRIT, Iraq – A cordon and search mission in ad Dawr to deny a safe haven for terrorists in the area resulted in the detention of 20 suspected terrorists and the confiscation of weapons and materials used in the production of improvised explosive devices.
Operation Kennesaw Dragon, a joint Iraqi and U.S. mission, began November 14, as troops from the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 4th Iraqi Army Division set up a cordon around the city. Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, supported by the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, conducted an air assault into landing zones outside the town and moved in for the search.
Task Force 1-15 and Iraqi Army Soldiers went door to door looking for weapons and known terrorists, as well as explaining to the residents that the search was related to recent attacks by terrorists. More than 30 attacks against Coalition Forces have been reported in the area during the past two months.
Many residents willingly turned over weapons to help facilitate the search. An overnight curfew in the city was met with little resistance. Shops and businesses voluntarily closed, which helped accelerate the operation.
By November 15, the mission was completed and the units returned to Forward Operating Base Wilson.
For more information, please contact the 101st AIRBORNE DIVISION Public Affairs Office at EDWARD.LOOMIS@US.ARMY.MIL.

Iraqi, Coalition Forces Catch Suspects With Munitions
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2005 – Iraqi and coalition forces working a joint operation detained three suspected insurgents with a number of munitions Nov. 16, military officials reported.
The men had a 60 mm mortar tube, two 81 mm mortar rounds, a 115 mm round and a fire extinguisher packed with explosives. The men are being detained pending further questioning.
Elsewhere in Iraq, Iraqi soldiers detained two men Nov. 16 during a search for suspects in a roadside bomb attack that knocked over a power line tower about 10 kilometers south of Samarra.
Soldiers with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division, reported seeing a suspicious vehicle fleeing the scene of the blast, but lost contact with it. A patrol conducting a search of nearby homes detained two men for more questioning.
A cordon-and-search mission in Dawr to deny a safe haven for terrorists in the area resulted in the detention of 20 suspected terrorists and the confiscation of weapons and materials used in the production of improvised explosive devices.

More than 30 attacks against coalition forces have been reported in the area during the past two months, officials said.
Many residents willingly turned over weapons to help facilitate the search. An overnight curfew in the city was met with little resistance. Shops and businesses voluntarily closed, which officials said helped accelerate the operation. By Nov. 15, the mission was completed and the units returned to Forward Operating Base Wilson. In another operation, Iraqi and U.S. forces detained dozens of terror suspects during searches in south Baghdad to clear neighborhoods of terrorist activity.
"Operation Clean Sweep was intended to clean out an area that was known to be used as a way for terrorists to come towards Baghdad from the south, as well as an area that a lot of vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and IEDs were coming from," said Lt. Col. Everett Knapp, commander of 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment.
In anticipation of the Dec. 15 nationwide elections, the battalion's soldiers, as well as Iraqi forces from the 4th Public Order Brigade and 1st Commando Brigade, raided about 350 homes and detained 49 suspected terrorists. Military officials said 10 of the suspects were forwarded to detention facilities.
Some of the unit's soldiers set up the outer cordon of the mission, while others shadowed their Iraqi counterparts during the operation.
"The Iraqi soldiers really took the lead (on this mission)," Knapp said. "They don't need translators; they can tell who the good guys are and who doesn't belong in a certain situation."
During the Oct. 15 constitutional referendum vote, clearing the area of possible dangers to the democratic process was one reason U.S. soldiers swept through the fields, clearing every building that stood in their path.
Knapp said he looks forward to more work with Iraqi security forces. "These guys get better every single day," he said. "Their professionalism is outstanding." Alert neighborhood watch members in eastern Baghdad stopped a potential car bomb attack Nov. 15. Shortly before 6 p.m., local residents noticed a suspicious vehicle getting fuel from a roadside gasoline dealer.
When neighborhood watch members approached the driver, he pulled a pistol and pointed it at them and then attempted to flee. The citizens tried to stop the suspect but were unsuccessful, said area neighborhood watch leader Oday Fakhan. The would-be car bomber tried and failed to hijack a getaway vehicle at gunpoint. But a taxi driver allowed the suspect to enter and took him to a neighborhood in Baladiat, an eastern Baghdad suburb. Meanwhile, Iraqi police were called to the scene and secured the area around the suspicious vehicle.
Iraqi police later interviewed the taxi driver and got a description of the suspect. A search is ongoing.
An Iraqi police explosive ordnance disposal team found the vehicle was wired with five 155 mm artillery rounds and other explosives embedded in the trunk and doors. The car and deactivated explosives were moved to the Rusafa police station for further investigation.

Journalist’s Car Vandalized: "This time it is your car but next time it is you..."
That guy you saw leaving a note on a car in the parking lot? He's not leaving his phone number and insurance info.
From Arab News.
The car of a Hail-based journalist was vandalized yesterday by miscreants who were allegedly angered by his Internet postings
The miscreants were angered that journalist thought that Muhammad Al-Harbi did not deserve his sentence of three years in prison and 750 lashes.
The note read:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful: This time it is your car but next time it is you. Return to your religion and forsake heresy. This is the last warning.”

Impressive facts.
Did you listen to CtoC tonight? It was a good show on China,
with Charles R. Smith.
He says that China has been caught selling missiles to the terrorists, the kind to shoot down airplanes.
It is a beware time, he didn't think the war would start at
once, but it may be coming.
His new book is "Deception" and his website is:
softwars.net
The news just said 2 more bombs near the Iran border, only 30 minutes ago, that is 4 for tonight.
I want it to stop........right now.

"BROKEN RECORD"
By Bryan Preston · November 17, 2005 11:18 PM
SNIPPET: "Democrat Rep. John Murtha said today that we can't win the war in Iraq. That would be news if he hadn't said the exact same thing a year ago. So today's speech wasn't as much a change of heart as a change of venue.
But it was enough to make Rod Dreher leave a big puddle on the floor. Seriously, one more panic like that and Bill Buckley may have to lend Dreher one of his testicles.
Sorry for being so blunt."

CINDY'S OPINION: Well, I'm sure not sorry.
Let's be even more blunt.
The Rebpublicans need to grow huevos, stiffen
their collective spines, add hot sauce to their words
and chili peppers to their actions.
Simply put, either you're for US or you're not.
Period.
sp=Republicans
that whites were “blue-eyed devils, “white devils,” and “grafted
snakes,” a wicked race that had been created <<<<
When I read that, I knew it was muslim thinking.
I heard that the Black Panthers were a group again in the
San Francisco area or was It Los Angeles, it was on some
news broadcast.
Do you suppose that is what all the drive by shootings are?
But you posted that they were muslims, so the 2 guys who
shot up the east coast a couple years ago, could have been
playing the same game.
Evil nasty people.
Denver has a lot of drive by shootings and so does Las vegas.
Smiling as I say thanks for the report, I knew you would know more about it and I couldn't handle any more of the
"Bring the Military home" talk.
Your foot must be bigger than mine, I never had that big of a ticket........hope it was along time ago.

Perhaps earning
money would negate "federal or state subsidized income."<<<
They would either have the earned amount deducted from the welfare check or even loose the check completely.
If they work, they won't make enough to live on at labor pay and would loose the free housing and medical.
Sad state of affairs.
Our schools are in real trouble.
I lost a bet with myself, the prof. was not Ward Churchill, as I expected it to be.
