"Appeasing the mullahs?"
Washington Times ^ | November 28, 2005
Posted on 11/27/2005 11:01:32 PM PST by LibWhacker
From the bottom link:
***Most don't recall, but on January 3rd, 1962, Pope John XXIII ex-communicated Fidel Castro from the Catholic Church. It seemed a fitting act for the Pope who in April 1959 forbade Catholics from voting for political candidates who even supported Communism. ***
I see the Pope's point, communism is in direct opposition to God.
Thank you, Granny. It was great to start the day with that thought of God's provision for these weary travelers.
Granny, I checked the links of the articles you wanted to read... we did post the series of articles within the last two weeks. So, I think you have already read them.
Europe in Uproar Over CIA Operations
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-flights26nov26,0,1837707.story?page=1&coll=la-home-headlines
IMO, this article was worth reading. Note that Human Rights Watch is a Soros tool.
Not sure if this was posted here yet:
Missile Attack On Passenger Jet?
Radio News | November 28, 2005
Posted on 11/28/2005 4:49:25 AM PST by texianyankee
I heard on the radio this morning, that a pilot of a passenger jet departing LAX claimed to have narrowly avoided being hit by a missile. It was reported that the jet was about 6,000 feet in altitude & over the ocean when the event occurred. The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."
I googled but found nothing. Anyone else have some info on this? I dont recall whether it was CBS or NBC radio news.

Yes, I recall the articles that you posted for us, LOL, went to the site on a new article and thought it looked the same, but it seemed the name was different, guess the different units of the infor have different names.
On the Lyman Church, can you imagine being stranded in the blizzard and then rescued and taken to that small Church?
I could feel the joy and thanksgiving in the air, as the Minister explained what they had to offer and did give the travelers.
I would love to know what miracles will come from that night spent there, how lives are changed and the effects on the people involved.
Have spent one night in a car, waiting for a mountain pass to be opened, not in danger, but forced to wait just out of the mountains in the middle of the desert.
It was a sea of cars when the sun came up, the one tiny cafe there had sold every bite of food and every drop of coffee when the night was over.
And after 52 years, it has not been forgotten, and it was not a night of fear, we were safe, once we got off the mountain.
The 'maybe' CIA Operation, has the liberals and commies foaming at the mouth.
Countries are lining up to say that they did not allow the CIA planes to land for fuel, in several countries.
I still vote for brigs floating on the sea, full of the worst terrorists.
Soros is in anything that is going to affect the world.
His name and group, should give us fear, as it must be huge to even find the many groups he supports.....
The report on the 9 am ABC radio news, was the same.
Don't forget that most pilots are ex-military pilots and know what a missile looks like.
We also know that the word is out that al-Qaeda has missiles.

[news] Bosnia: Haven for Islamic radicals?

Bosnia: Haven for Islamic radicals?
By Nicholas Wood International Herald Tribune
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2005
SARAJEVO A police raid last month on an apartment near this city's airport uncovered evidence of an imminent
suicide bombing, intensifying the fears of Western security services that Bosnia is becoming a haven for Islamic
radicals.
The raid, which was carried out after an extensive surveillance operation by the Bosnian police and Western
intelligence services, turned up an arsenal of weapons in the apartment, including suicide vests, about 30 kilograms,
or 65 pounds, of exploding bullets and high explosive, and a machine pistol.
Investigators said they also found a videotape in which three men - at least two of them teenagers - are seen asking
forgiveness from God for their "sacrifice," a recording made just hours before the raid. The two teenagers were
arrested.
Subsequent investigations by the Bosnian police have led to the arrests of three more men, all Bosnian citizens,
whose identities have not been revealed. Two of them were arrested on Nov. 19 and accused of providing support
for the group.
The third was detained on Nov. 24 and charged with supplying explosives. The police said they had seized 10
kilograms of explosives kept by the same man in a forest in Hadjici, outside Sarajevo.
The weapons seizures and arrests, most notably of the two teenagers found in the apartment in the suburb of Ilidza -
a Turk who had been living in a Muslim community in Denmark and a Swede of Bosnian heritage - have provided
government and international officials here with evidence that a terrorist cell was working in Bosnia.
They have also shed light on a complex web that stretches well beyond the Balkans and that security services fear
could threaten Western Europe.
Diplomats and international officials close to the investigation describe it as a series of overlapping networks, in
which young Muslims from Scandinavia have been recruited as possible suicide bombers and sent to Bosnia.
Government officials here say the group in Bosnia used the former Yugoslav state as a staging ground for attacks
elsewhere in Europe.
"All the indicators show that Bosnia is a territory where they can come and rest, organize their activities and then go
and carry out" an attack elsewhere, Dragan Mektic, Bosnia's deputy security minister, said in an interview.
The police have accused two of the Bosnian suspects with planning an attack in "internationally protected property,"
a commonly used law-enforcement euphemism for an embassy. But senior Western diplomats and Mektic said there
were no indications that the target of the Ilidza cell was in Bosnia.
The surveillance began in late September, Mektic said, and focused on at least 10 people, some of them from the
region, others Bosnian passport-holders with ties to the Middle East. During that time, five of the people rented the
apartment in Ilidza, as well as rooms in a house in Hrasno Brdo, a rambling hilltop suburb of Sarajevo.
When the police finally moved to make arrests, they captured only three of the 10. The third person - who was not
on the suicide tape - had rented the Ilidza apartment on the others' behalf. He was dropped from the investigation.
The potential for Bosnia to become a terrorist base has long been a concern of security services in Europe. The
1992-1995 conflict here ripped apart Bosnia's Muslim, Serbian and Croatian populations, opening the way for
weapons' smuggling and organized crime.
The religious and ethnic overtones of the war attracted, at a minimum, dozens of Muslim fighters from the Middle
East, many with experience fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, who brought with them the influence of radical Islam.
Many of those fighters settled here and married Bosnian women. They have remained largely at the margins of the
Islamic community. While more conservative, they have not had a significant impact on Bosnia's Muslims, who by
and large are moderate in their religious outlook.
Periodically, former fighters and others who came to Bosnia to help Muslims have been placed under investigation
by Western and Bosnian security services, which claim to have thwarted several terrorist attacks as a result.
In January 2002, six Algerians living in Bosnia were accused of plotting an attack on the American Embassy in
Sarajevo. No evidence of the alleged plot was made public, and a Bosnian court dismissed the charges and ordered
the men released.
But the Bosnian government, under pressure from the United States, transferred them to American custody. They
were flown to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, where they remain.
Bosnia gave passports to more than 800 former fighters and aid workers from the Middle East. Both the United
States and Saudi Arabia have accused Bosnia of giving passports to known terrorists, sometimes under aliases.
Few details have been revealed about those believed to be coordinating the Sarajevo group, but Mektic and
international officials close to the investigation say that Bosnia's liberal passport policy as well as its porous borders
made it appealing as a terrorist base, despite the presence of several thousand European Union-led peacekeepers.
The process of obtaining passports has been made more stringent over time.
"The flow of people, narcotics and other materials is very difficult to break," said Jonathan Ratel, a prosecutor in the
department that deals with organized crime in Bosnia's State Court.
The background of the two men in custody has helped investigators make connections between the operation here
and the rest of Europe.
Abdulkadir Cesur, 18, and Mirsad Bektasevic, 19, were arrested in the raid near the airport. Both had traveled to
Bosnia three weeks earlier, according to Bosnian border police records, and had come from Muslim communities in
Denmark and Sweden. Cesur is Turkish but has Danish residency, and Bektasevic left Bosnia at the age of 6 and
became a Swedish citizen.
Acting on phone records, a senior international official close to the Bosnian investigation said, the Bosnian police
tipped off their counterparts in Denmark about the possibility of a parallel group in Copenhagen.
On Oct. 27, the police in Denmark, working with the Bosnian authorities, arrested four men, all between the ages of
16 and 20, and seized computers, computer discs, books with radical Muslim literature and Danish kroner worth
about $32,000, from separate addresses. Since then, three more people have been detained in connection with the
Bosnian arrests. Out of the seven, none of whom have been identified, six attended the same mosque in
Copenhagen's Noebbro district.
One international official close to the investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is formally
the responsibility of Bosnia's state prosecutor, said that the group had sought to recruit suicide bombers from
established immigrant communities in the West.
"They are indoctrinated into thinking that they could be a huge cause for their people," said the official. "They are
young and impressionable and potentially disenfranchised from the society they find themselves living in."
Bektasevic's background appears to fit that description. Unemployed since leaving school a year and half ago, he
had begun to attend a mosque in Gothenburg, the city nearest their home on Sweden's west coast, said his mother,
Nafija Hamedovic.
She described her son as having come under the influence of three men: a Palestinian from Syria, a Kurd and a
Somali.
"He was not religious before, but in the past two years he practiced more seriously," she said in an interview by
telephone.
"Some people frightened him and talked to him about hell, and told him he would be tortured in hell if he does not
pray and does not believe," she said.
But she dismissed the idea that he could have been a suicide bomber, explaining that he had gone to stay with her
relatives in Sarajevo and that he had no outside support.
"It's a lie," she said. "He didn't even have any money. I even had to pay for his bus ticket to Bosnia."

Voting ends for Chechnya's parliament
Polling stations have closed in Chechyna where people in the
breakaway republic have been voting for a new regional assembly --
the first time since the current conflict between separatist rebels
and Russian forces began in 1991. Some 600,000 Chechens were
eligible to elect 58 local deputies. The poll marks the end of a
peace plan drawn up by Russia for the Causasus republic. Analysts
expect the elections to cement the power of local pro-Russian
strongman, Deputy Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov. Security in the
region has been heavily reinforced in fear of possible attacks by
Chechen separatist fighters. German politician Rudolf Bindig, a
Council of Europe representative said it was still not clear whether
the poll was really free. Human rights groups have dismissed the
election as a farce.
...a political push from yet another human right group.
Noting..Council of Europe is the same human rights organization trying their political strong arm against the US and allies regarding the supposed CIA flights and prisons.
Two weeks ago, there was a report of a Mohave County car being stolen.

Former Serb Red Berets in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Former Serbian "Red Berets" elites forces are now
being employed as private security personnel in Baghdad.
About 30 former members of the Jedinica za Specijalne Operacije Special
Operations Unit, better known as the JSO or Red Berets, have been working
for private security contractors in Iraq for $8,000 a month.
Vecernje Novosti daily said the men were recruited through a security agency
in Sarajevo in neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina. A former JSO member based
in Belgrade, who currently works for the Serbian National Security Council,
recruited the men.
