ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Monitoring the area behind the cockpit door is an important factor in flight security and safety. FAA's response, a notice of proposed rulemaking issued in September 2005, permits procedural as well as technological responses to cabin surveillance. Which way will the industry go?
By David Jensen
FAA officials are reviewing the responses to the agency's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), titled "Flight Deck Door Monitoring and Crew Discreet Alerting Systems." The NPRM--docket number FAA-2005-22449, amending Part 121--represents the agency's second step towards securing the flight decks of air transport aircraft. (The first step was the locking of hardened cockpit doors.)"

Two Dominican men nabbed for smuggling Cubans
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Two Dominican men who allegedly smuggled a group of Cubans into the United States through Mona Island in Puerto Rico were charged here today with human smuggling following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigation.
Carlos de Jesus Morales, 25, and Ivan Madrigal, 26, along with eight Cubans were spotted Friday by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) patrol aircraft eight miles west of the Island of Mona.
Upon interception of the yola -a small, fragile boat used for human smuggling-the two alleged Dominican captains and the group of Cubans were transferred to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico onboard of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Ocracoke A preliminary investigation by ICE identified De Jesus-Morales and Madrigal as the alleged human smugglers.
“We hope to send a clear message to those who think the Island of Mona will continue to be a transshipment point for Cuban smuggling from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico,” said Lydia St. John-Mellado, acting special agent-in-charge of ICE in Puerto Rico. “ICE and its Department of Homeland Security (DHS) partners will continue its investigative efforts to shut down the Cuban smuggling route through Mona Island and to dismantle alien smuggling organizations whose only goal is to profit at the expense of others.”
The ICE investigation into this smuggling ring is ongoing. De Jesus-Morales and Madrigal are in federal custody and have been transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico where they await the outcome of their case.
This enforcement action was part of the Secure Border Initiative (SBI), a comprehensive multi-year plan launched by the Department of Homeland Security to secure America's borders and reduce illegal migration. Under SBI, Homeland Security seeks to gain operational control of both the northern and southern borders, while re-engineering the detention and removal system to ensure that illegal aliens are removed from the country quickly and efficiently. SBI also involves strong interior enforcement efforts, including enhanced worksite enforcement investigations and intensified efforts to track down and remove illegal aliens inside this country.
The public is reminded that a criminal complaint contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial and the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

ICE Arrests Five Unauthorized Workers At L.A. Department Of Water And Power
Eight unauthorized employees identified during year-long review of utility's personnel records
LOS ANGELES – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested five unauthorized workers employed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) today, capping a year-long joint review of the utility’s hiring records by ICE and LADWP that resulted in the arrest of eight unauthorized workers overall.
Today’s arrests took place at the utility’s headquarters downtown in coordination with the LADWP’s human resources department. The illegal workers identified during ICE’s investigation held both professional and blue collar positions, ranging from a management analyst and customer service representative to a water sampling technician and a maintenance worker. One of the unauthorized employees was an electrical engineering associate.
The unauthorized workers identified during the review of the LADWP’s nearly 7,000 employee records included foreign nationals from four countries - Ethiopia, Nigeria, El Salvador, and Mexico. All of the unauthorized workers were processed for administrative immigration violations and will be placed in deportation proceedings. ICE may seek to criminally prosecute one of the workers for making a false claim to United States citizenship.
The LADWP cooperated fully with ICE’s investigation, which is part of ICE’s ongoing effort to target illegal workers with access to critical infrastructure worksites around the country, such as nuclear plants, U.S. military installations, airports, and seaports. There is no evidence that any of the unauthorized workers have terrorist ties.
All of the workers identified during ICE’s investigation had initially been legally admitted to the United States, but several were here on visas that did not authorize them to work. One of the employees is a lawful permanent resident, or “green card” holder, who has a criminal conviction that renders him deportable.
“In many cases, companies such as DWP seek to hire legal workers, only to have their efforts undermined by employees who present counterfeit documents or knowingly violate the conditions of their admission,” said Julie L. Myers, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for ICE. “When a person uses fraud or false documents to obtain a job, they mask not only their true identities, but also their motives and in some cases, their criminal history.”
“Protecting our critical infrastructure is our department’s highest priority. We cooperated fully with ICE on this review and are committed to doing everything possible to ensure the safety and security of our city’s power and water supply,” said LADWP General Manager Ron Deaton. “Our experience underscores the reality that, contrary to the common perception, unauthorized workers can be found on all rungs of the job ladder.”
ICE is significantly enhancing its worksite enforcement efforts as part of its interior enforcement strategy. The Administration is seeking $41.7 million in new funding in its fiscal year 2007 budget request. The budget increase would support the hiring of an additional 171 special agents and 35 support personnel to enhance existing worksite enforcement investigations.
The budget request also provides an additional $135 million to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) to expand the current Employment Verification pilot program to support a national electronic employment authorization verification system. The current basic pilot program is a voluntary electronic authorization program enabling an employer to confirm the employment eligibility of all newly hired workers. In an address to the nation earlier this week, President Bush also called for the creation of a tamper-proof identification card for all legal foreign workers as part of a comprehensive immigration reform plan.
Last fiscal year, ICE initiated 511 criminal worksite investigations, resulting in 165 criminal arrests, 140 criminal indictments, and 127 criminal convictions. In addition, these efforts resulted in the arrest of 980 individuals on administrative immigration violations.

Three Islands, $70 Million in Assets Seized in DEA Drug Bust
‘Operation Twin Oceans’ nets Most-Wanted Kingpin and 52 Tons of Cocaine
Brazil, Colombia, Panama & U.S. Involved in Arrests
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today announced the results of Operation Twin Oceans, a multi-jurisdictional investigation that targeted the Pablo RAYO-Montano drug trafficking organization (DTO), a cocaine ring responsible for smuggling more than 15 tons of cocaine per month from Colombia to the streets of the United States and Europe. An international coalition spearheaded by the Brazilian Federal Police, Panamanian Judicial Police, Colombian National Police, and DEA was responsible for dismantling this international drug cartel. This 3-year long investigation has resulted in over 100 arrests and the seizure of 47,555 kilograms of cocaine or the equivalent of 52 tons of cocaine, and nearly $70 million in assets.
As part of Operation Twin Oceans, three islands off the coast of Panama, personally owned by the RAYO-Montano organization, were seized. Additional seizures included assets such as yachts, fishing trawlers, art galleries, the largest fishing and boating store in Panama, and other commercial properties and businesses owned by the RAYO-Montano Organization.
"The Rayo-Montano organization had its own private, rogue navy to run a drug business that was nearly as sophisticated as a small nation,” said DEA Administrator Karen P. Tandy. “As well-equipped and complex as this enterprise was, it was a matter of time before law enforcement caught on, and now Rayo-Montano’s decadent, drug-funded lifestyle has caught up with him. This morning, his real estate holdings went from three islands to one jail cell."
“Don Pablo” RAYO-Montano was the commander and controller of a 21st Century criminal organization whose Information Technology-literate managers used highly sophisticated methods to coordinate the movement of cocaine north and illegal drug proceeds south. In addition, the organization has been associated with Colombian narco-terrorist organizations such as the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC), the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and the Norte del Valle Cartel.
RAYO-Montano was designated as a Consolidated Priority Organization Target (CPOT) in October 2005. He was arrested by the Sensitive Investigations Unit (SIU) of the Brazilian Federal Police in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at his residence early Tuesday morning. The CPOT program is the cornerstone of the U.S. Department of Justice’s drug enforcement priority targeting strategy. In March 2002, the Office of the Attorney General announced a comprehensive six-part drug enforcement strategy designed to identify and target the world’s most significant drug supply organizations and their related components. The central element of the strategy was the development of the CPOT List, a rogue’s gallery of international kingpins who were responsible for the “command and control” of the most sophisticated and far reaching drug trafficking and money laundering organizations. RAYO-Montano is the 42nd arrest of a CPOT since the inception of the program.
"Operation Twin Oceans sends a strong message from the U.S. Department of Justice to narcotics traffickers: we will seize your ill-gotten property, and we will take away the rewards of your violent trade," said Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Department of Justice Criminal Division.
Operation Twin Oceans revealed a far-reaching cocaine trafficking and money laundering organization based out of Colombia that used a vast array of vessels to smuggle multi-ton loads of cocaine to the United States and Europe. RAYO-Montano started as a simple drug transporter in Buenaventura, Colombia almost two decades ago and evolved into the head of a world-wide criminal cartel. RAYO-Montano masterminded a comprehensive infrastructure that included all aspects of the cocaine trafficking hierarchy, to include production, international transportation/smuggling, wholesale distribution and money laundering. Maritime transshipment originated on both the west and northern coasts of Colombia and utilized fast boats, fishing boats, submersibles, and containerized cargo vessels, hence, the operational name “Twin Oceans.”
As a result of outstanding international cooperation, Operation Twin Oceans was able to identify, target and dismantle all levels of criminal activity, from the Colombian source of supply to wholesale distributors in our local communities. Throughout the early morning hours of May 16, 2006, members of the RAYO-Montano organization were awakened with the execution of arrest and search warrants by international, federal, state and local law enforcement officers.
Indictments were returned in Operation Twin Oceans by grand juries supervised by the United States Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida and the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section in Washington D.C. The charges include money laundering, and conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. If convicted, the defendants prosecuted in this investigation will face sentences ranging from a mandatory minimum of 10 years up to life imprisonment.
The law enforcement team in Operation Twin Oceans included an international coalition of investigative agencies spearheaded by DEA offices located in Miami, FL, Tampa, FL, New York, NY, Chicago, IL, Los Angeles, CA, Indianapolis, IN, Cartagena and Bogota, Colombia, Sao Paulo, Brazil, San Jose, Costa Rica, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Mexico City, Mexico, Panama City, Panama, Caracas, Venezuela, and Madrid, Spain. Critical to the successful conclusion of the operation were the efforts of the Sensitive Investigations Unit (SIU) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Colombian National Police Antinarcotics Judicial Unit in Cartagena, Colombia, the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section (NDDS) and Office of International Affairs (OIA), and our international law enforcement partners located in the countries of Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom and Venezuela. Strategic intelligence and operational support was provided by the DEA Special Operations Division based in Washington, D.C., the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy.

"Judge dies in Turkey court attack"

"Judge dies in Turkey court attack"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A gunman has shot dead a prominent judge and wounded four others in an attack in Turkey's highest court, in the capital, Ankara. Judge Mustafa Yucel Ozbilgin died despite six hours of surgery to remove a bullet from his brain.
One of the wounded judges had been criticised for ruling against teachers wearing Muslim headscarves, and had reportedly received death threats.
The attacker, believed to be a lawyer, was detained by police.
Identified as Aslan Alpaslan, 29, he is being questioned to determine his motive.
But the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Istanbul says many here already see this as an attack on secularism itself - the founding principle of the Turkish republic.
'Soldier of God'
The attacker was apparently carrying papers that identified him as a lawyer - although it is not known if these were genuine - and made it past security guards undetected.
He reportedly burst into a committee meeting of the Council of State, the top administrative court, at 1000 local time (0700 GMT) shouting "Allahu akbar" (God is great) as he fired his weapon.
Tansel Colasan, deputy head of the Council of State, said the attacker yelled "I am the soldier of God", and said he was carrying out the attack to protest against the court's decision on headscarves.
He was arrested immediately.
There were scenes of panic at the court as the injured were carried out of the building.
Judge Mustafa Birden made headlines earlier this year when he ruled that schoolteachers, who are banned from wearing the Islamic headscarf at work, could not cover their heads even on their way to school.
An Islamist newspaper printed photographs of him and fellow judges from the court's second chamber, which deals with education issues.
Judge Birden was shot in the stomach and has undergone surgery. Doctors said his injuries were not life-threatening.
The three other judges were only lightly injured.
Political row
Our correspondent says the attack has helped fuel widespread speculation that the court was targeted for its strict, some say hardline, adherence to secular principles.
The court's decision on headscarves has been condemned as illegal by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose ruling party has Islamist roots."

"Beijing Ran Conspiracy to Sell Weapons to Saddam"
COLUMN SNIPPET: "Two naturalized U.S. citizens are charged with exporting sophisticated fiber-optic electronics to Iraq in a conspiracy that directly involves the Chinese government.
Andrew Huang and Joseph Thomas were charged, in an indictment unsealed in federal court, with conspiring with Chinese officials in a scheme to sell $27 million in telecommunications equipment from 1999 to 2001 to Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq.
"The government of China was an active participant in this transfer," stated FBI Special Agent James Trainor.
According to the FBI, the Iraqi military used the sophisticated electronics for command and control. The equipment allowed Saddam Hussein to direct his forces when the U.S. invaded the country in 2003.
"With this equipment, they [Iraqi forces] were far better able to respond to U.S. forces," FBI agent Trainor told The Associated Press.
The sales violated U.S. law and international sanctions imposed by the U.N. after the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait."

2 more cops shot dead along border [Nuevo Laredo, Mexico}
Express-News Border Bureau ^ | 05/17/2006 | Mariano Castillo
Posted on 05/17/2006 1:44:44 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — The unceasing wave of violence in this city claimed the lives of two state police officers Tuesday, including the head of the homicide division.
Juan Gonzalez and Rodolfo Eguia had just finished lunch at a local restaurant about 12:15 p.m. and were leaving in a green Jeep Cherokee when gunmen ambushed them, authorities said.
The Jeep then crashed into the corner of a building next to the restaurant, knocking out a large chunk of bricks and concrete that landed on the hood.
No arrests were made, and investigators didn't have a description of the assailants' vehicle.
A motive for the shooting remained unclear.
Gonzalez oversaw the ever-growing stack of unsolved homicides in Nuevo Laredo. More than 100 slayings have been recorded this year, most attributed to a bloody turf war between warring drug cartels.
Historically, only a fraction of homicides here are solved.
"Right now we can't give any more information," the lead investigator, Jose Martinez Lozano, said at the scene of the shooting.
He confirmed Gonzalez was the head of the ministerial police homicide division and Eguia the office secretary.
More than 36 shell casings from an assault rifle were found at the scene.
A third state police employee had been at lunch with the two victims and was in a car behind them when the shooting erupted, a state investigator said on the condition of anonymity. The employee had a panic attack at the scene and was taken to a local hospital.
"It sounded as if they were shooting at our house," said a witness whose house was next to the building that the Jeep struck.
"I crouched on the couch, and my wife threw herself on the floor until it was over," the man said. "It's sad to say this, but we don't have security in this city at all."
Tuesday's killings bring the tally of assassinated law officers in Nuevo Laredo to ten. At least 11 other officers have been injured by gunmen this year.
Gonzalez and Eguia became the first casualties for the state ministerial police this year.
Two officers from the other state police force, the preventive state police, died in an ambush March 7.
On March 16, four undercover federal police officers were gunned down inside their car while staking out a suspected drug trafficker's safe house.
The municipal police force in particular has been under attack in the past months. Two municipal officers died in separate shootouts in April and five local cops were injured during a lunchtime attack earlier this month.

"In the Footsteps of Ayatollah Khomeini and the Prophet Mohammad: Ahmadinejad Calls Upon Bush to Accept Islam"
By A. Savyon*
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Introduction
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's letter to U.S. President George Bush, sent on May 7, 2006, emulates the letter written in 1989 by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's to then U.S.S.R. president Mikhail Gorbachev. Ahmadinejad's letter also emulates the Prophet Mohammad's epistle 1,400 years ago to the king of Ethiopia and other rulers of the world, and his call for Islam to be accepted as superior and as the correct path guiding humanity.
Ahmadinejad Aligns Himself With the Prophet Mohammad and Ayatollah Khomeini"

Ahmadinejad: "Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child?"
From CNN: "Iran: EU offer 'walnuts for gold.'"
"We don't need incentives," Ahmadinejad said on state-run TV. "They cannot stop our progress by offering us incentives.""Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?" Ahmadinejad added, according to The Associated Press.
"Wait! Don't answer that!"
The Iranian leader's comments came in the midst of reports that Britain, France and Germany were putting together a tentative incentives package that would include a light-water nuclear reactor in exchange for Tehran giving up uranium enrichment.
Light-water reactors are more difficult to use in the development of weapons than are heavy-water plants that produce more nuclear material.
Echoes of the 1994 deal that Dhimmi Carter brokered with North Korea. A lot of good that's done.

Islamist Threats
To Dutch Politician
Bring Chill at Home
Ms. Hirsi Ali Quits Parliament,
Plans to Resettle in U.S.
After Losing Safe House
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB114782915681854954.html?mod=hps_us_pageone
THE HAGUE -- Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been threatened repeatedly with "execution" by Islamist extremists. She lives in an apartment with bulletproof windows, and is driven to work at the Dutch Parliament by armed guards, who vary the route to outfox would-be hit men.
But an unexpected menace emerged closer to home: her own neighbors. They have fought to evict her, complaining that the presence of a well-known terrorist target in their luxury apartment tower in this Dutch city has upset their family lives and reduced the value of their property.
"Once this lady leaves, the problem is no longer there," says Ger Verhagen, a retired executive who owns a place two floors above the hunted politician. He says he has nothing personal against Ms. Hirsi Ali. But along with other residents, he wants to banish the fears stirred by the proximity of Holland's most acid -- and most frequently threatened -- critic of Islam.
Yesterday, Ms. Hirsi Ali's neighbor got his wish. Three weeks after a Dutch court ordered her out of the building in response to complaints from Mr. Verhagen and other residents, she resigned from Parliament and said she would leave Holland altogether. Her decision follows a cascade of problems: angry neighbors, a government threat to revoke her citizenship and, more generally, growing public disenchantment with her denunciations of both radical Islam and more conventional Muslim doctrines.
The travails of Ms. Hirsi Ali, 36 years old, raise questions about how Europe, seeking calm rather than confrontation, is grappling with the challenges posed by Islamic extremism in its midst. Born in Somalia and raised in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Kenya, Ms. Hirsi Ali says the attitude of her neighbors smacks of World War II-style "appeasement." Others say they sympathize with her predicament but fault her for polarizing society with her attacks on Islamic custom as backward and incompatible with Western values.
In late April, a court in The Hague gave Ms. Hirsi Ali four months to vacate her apartment. Her departure, judges ruled, was necessary to protect the "human rights" of her fearful neighbors
(snip)
I'm so glad she's coming to the United States.
It should be a lot safer for her here.
