Two arrested in terror swoops
manchestereveningnews.co.uk:
Nicola Dowling - TWO suspected terrorists were arrested in Bolton early today as part of an operation by Greater Manchester's specialist anti-terror squad.
Police raided around six addresses, which included the homes of the two men, at 6.30am today.
While police today refused to give a detailed account of what the men are suspected of, it is believed they are accused of gathering terrorist propaganda, information on how to form a terrorist cell and make detonators. It is thought the men had been accessing Arabic website.
They have also been held in connection with fraud involving tens of thousands of pounds.

Human Trails In Cyberspace
Social scientists create maps of online interactions:
By JEFFREY R. YOUNG - Philadelphia - If the Internet is a new kind of social space, what does it look like?
That's a question of particular interest to social scientists eager to see what cyberspace might reveal about the nature of human behavior.
Researchers, after all, have long sought to map social groupings and interactions in the physical world. Now, with so much activity on computer networks, scientists can collect vast amounts of hard data on human behavior. Each blog points to other blogs in ways that reveal patterns of influence. Online chats can be tallied and parsed. Even the act of clicking on links can leave trails of activity like footprints in the sand.
"We're entering the golden age of social science," says Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. "We know more than we ever did about what's on people's minds."
While all that data could seem overwhelming, researchers are refining ways to visualize Internet activity. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a visualization may well be worth 10,000 data points.
At a conference this month at the University of Pennsylvania called "The Hyperlinked Society," a panel of academic and industry experts showed off their Internet maps and talked about the challenges of painting meaningful pictures of cyberspace.

NYPD names new counter-terrorism chief
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST - Jun. 27, 2006:
A former deputy homeland security adviser to President George W. Bush has been named counterterrorism chief for the New York Police Department, officials said.
Richard Falkenrath, who served at the White House until May 2004 before becoming a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, "brings outstanding and impressive academic credentials to this important post," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement Monday.
Falkenrath will spearhead the police department's aggressive strategy for protecting the city, which Kelly says remains atop terrorists' list of potential targets.

Panama: Two Iranian Journalists with Canal Photos Arrested, Released
Article by Elio Nunez: "They Arrest Iranians With Photos of the Canal" El Panama America Sunday, June 25, 2006 [FBIS]:
The two Iranian reporters arrested in Tocumen International Airport by police units had videos and photographs of areas near the Panama Canal, a state security source said yesterday.
The visit of the media communicators who work for a state broadcaster in Iran coincided with that of the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
These Iranians told the police units that they were doing a report on the arrival in this country of the Shah of Iran, which occurred on 15 December 1979.
The reporters, who were traveling from Panama with a stop in Mexico, Amsterdam, and then Iran, were investigated by security and then released.

Iraqi, Coalition Forces Capture, Kill Insurgents; Bomb Secured
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2006 – Iraqi and coalition forces captured or killed three insurgents and detained 17 others throughout Iraq in operations yesterday and July 1, while Iraqi Police acted on a tip to secure a large homemade bomb June 30.
Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 3rd Iraqi Army Division, killed an assassination cell leader in Tal Afar in an exchange of gunfire yesterday.
The soldiers were patrolling Tal Afar when Col. Kareem Jassim Hathal, the 3rd Battalion commander, recognized Ghassan Abd al Khadir Farhat, a known insurgent leader, wanted by Iraqi and coalition forces.
Hathal directed his troops to detain the wanted man, who attempted to evade the soldiers. As the troops chased Farhat, several insurgents in the vicinity began firing small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns at the Iraqi troops.
The soldiers took cover, while Hathal coordinated with coalition forces to provide aerial coverage and surveillance. A team of Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade and ground forces from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 37th Armor Regiment, responded.
Once the Apaches arrived in the area, the Iraqi troops resumed their search for Farhat. The Iraqi soldiers searched the areas surrounding of Farhat's last sighting and were about to move on when a soldier heard a faint sound in a water tank, where the terrorist was found hiding.
Farhat fired several errant shots at the Iraqis before he was shot and killed by the soldiers.
The insurgents' fire injured a boy, who was taken to Mosul General Hospital. His status is unknown.
Iraq's 3rd Battalion assumed responsibility and took the security lead in this portion of Tal Afar on May 30.
On July 1 in central Baghdad, Iraqi National Police and Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers killed one terrorist and detained 15, including one who was wounded, after being attacked by insurgents.
Iraqi police from 3rd Brigade, 1st National Police Division, responded to a tip from an Iraqi citizen concerning an attack on the Al Nur Mosque. When they arrived, insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades and small arms at the police. During the attack, the insurgents destroyed three Iraqi national police cars and wounded an Iraqi policeman.
Soldiers from the 8th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, responded to a police request for support.
After securing and cordoning the area, the combined patrol of Iraqi National Police and coalition soldiers returned to the mosque, where about 18 insurgents attacked them with small-arms fire. When the patrol returned fire, the insurgents fled into nearby buildings.
Shortly after the incident, the mosque loudspeakers broadcast a message saying terrorists were inside the mosque.
National police entered the mosque compound and detained one terrorist who had a grenade and two sticks of TNT. A search of the mosque compound and the surrounding area resulted in the national police detaining an additional seven insurgents. They also found a weapons cache consisting of AK-47 assault rifles, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
Seven more insurgents - four in a nearby house, two who laid down their weapons and surrendered, and one who threw his weapon over a fence and was caught as he attempted to flee the area - were detained near the mosque.
In Haswah, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers and Iraqi security forces killed a terrorist after exchanging small-arms fire in Haswah on June 30.
Soldiers from Company B, 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, along with soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 8th Iraqi Army Division, were conducting a combined cordon-and-search operation for the suspected terrorist.
The terrorist was suspected of murdering prominent Iraqis for cooperating with coalition forces, weapons trafficking and rocket attacks on coalition forces bases.
After the soldiers the suspect at one house, an occupant provided intelligence on the suspect and accompanied soldiers to the individual's home.
Suspects fired upon the soldiers through the front door after the soldiers identified themselves. A squad of Iraqi and U.S. soldiers moved to the back of the house, where the terrorist crashed through the back door and raised an AK-47 at them. The soldiers shot the terrorist.
Medics on the scene attempted to treat the suspect, and a medical evacuation helicopter was dispatched. The terrorist died as the helicopter landed.
Soldiers found hand grenades, sniper ammunition and magazines, parachute flares and hundreds of explosive primers inside the individual's house.
"It's encouraging to see that Iraqis are taking action in their own neighborhoods," Capt. Colin Brooks, commander, Company B, 2nd Battalion-8 Infantry Regiment, said. "Iraqi soldiers, despite a heated exchange of small-arms fire, were consummate professionals and fought shoulder-to-shoulder with their American counterparts."
On June 28, soldiers from the weapons platoon, Company C, 1st Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, captured two suspected terrorists during a planned cordon-and-search operation at a gas station in Jisr Diyala.
During the operation, soldiers from Company C were moving in on their targets when the terrorists attempted to escape from the back door of the gas station.
The suspects are alleged to be involved with the kidnapping and murders of multiple local nationals, including a local district advisory council member, and a small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenade attack against soldiers from 3rd Platoon, Troop A, 1st Squadron, 61st Cavalry, on June 10.
The terrorists were taken to a secure site for further questioning.
In the southwest Baghdad neighborhood of Bayaa, Iraqi police, acting on a tip from an Iraqi citizen, were able to locate and secure a large improvised-explosive device June 30.
At about 8 p.m. that evening, Iraqi police cordoned off the area around a vehicle containing five 155 mm artillery rounds, four large shape-charges and a propane tank filled with homemade explosives connected to a car battery in the bed of the truck. For unknown reasons, the cab of the truck had exploded, but the chassis and bed were intact.
The body of one terrorist was found inside the cab.
An Iraqi explosive ordnance disposal team was able to disable the potentially deadly car bomb and further demonstrate the effectiveness of Operation Amaliya Maan Ila al-Amam, or "Together Forward," the Iraqi government's security crackdown in Baghdad.
There were no reported injuries or damage to equipment or civilian personnel.

"Drug money from Britain laundered in UAE"
Sun Jul 2, 7:59 AM ET
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "AL-AIN, United Arab Emirates (AFP) - Britain and other West European countries are the main sources of drug money laundered in the United Arab Emirates, the governor of the UAE Central Bank has said.
Drug money comes from developed Western (European) countries... American drug money does not come here, it goes to South America... Some of the dirty money that comes here is made in Britain," Sultan bin Nasser al-Suwaidi told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting on combating money laundering.
The drug money "goes into banking and wire transfers", he said.
Suwaidi said that the strong economic ties between the UAE and Britain allow such transactions to seep through."

Wow Smartass - you were on a roll posting all those links - thank you!
Reminding anyone of cases in Europe where the perpetrators said the victims were "asking for it" because their clothing was not suitable and in line with certain "religious" standards ingrained into the perpetrator's brain by an infamous book? This time it's in America!
OPINION: Well, to be candid about it, I'm a bit more worried at to what he was doing around the train station (the Dunn Loring Metro Station), aside from assaulting women.

Al Qaeda bid to infiltrate M15
Snip: He added that the profile of the terror suspect was changing, including "many" British people willing to mount attacks on fellow citizens.
North Korea warns of nuclear war if attacked
Snip: North Korea is ready to answer a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday. The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper "analyst," accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state.
Ex-Guantanamo prisoners go on trial in France
Snip: The prosecution alleges the men joined a terrorism network based in Britain and the Afghan-Pakistan border, having passed through Britain en route to al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.
But the accused said they only went there out of curiosity. "I wanted to take some risks," Nizar Sassi, one of the defendants, told the court. "It was cool. It was a chance to live my passion for weapons."
Health Canada cautions air travelers
Snip: Health Canada is informing air travellers with compromised immune systems that they should avoid drinking any tap water on aircraft, including tea, or coffee from the galley or using water from the lavatory faucets for brushing teeth.
There is always a possibility that bacteria can enter the aircraft water system from time to time from a variety of sources. As part of its random inspections of aircraft water, Health Canada found Total Coliform bacteria, which usually indicates the water is of poor quality or stale and that the water system should be sanitized. Total Coliform is normally not harmful to human health. However, if E.Coli, a type of coliform bacteria, is present, this can be harmful to human health.
Western Alaska sees 17 rabies cases in 6 months
Snip: Health officials with the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corp. are vaccinating dogs and treating exposed humans to ward off the latest threat of rabies in Western Alaska, where the disease has spiked for the first time in four years.
In the last six months, people in three villages have undergone a month-long series of inoculations after being bitten by a rabid dog or fox or exposed to a rabid dog's saliva, said Louisa Castrodale, a veterinarian with the state section of epidemiology.
White British converts lured into joining Islamic terrorism
Snip: A large number of white Britons have been lured into joining Islamic terrorism, a government report said. The converts and British Muslims are being signed up by extremists at universities and religious groups, according to a warning by officials from MI5 and the Home and Foreign Offices recently.
It follows calls by al-Qaeda for white converts to be suicide bombers "as it is easier for them to travel and evade detection before attacks." The reports says 'converts include white British nationals'.
Valid concern!
Snip: So, it is time for us to tell the world to back off, and take the gloves off and finish the job in Iraq the way it should be, with overwhelming force with enough troops to surround the enemy and eliminate them the way they did in Falluja.
Barred Imam speaks to Toronto youth via live video
Snip: Ul Haq thanked those who have supported him, and said he was "innocent until proven guilty."
Terror plots accelerating warns police chief
Snip: In one of the most sombre and detailed statements yet on the threat to Britain from Islamic extremist terrorists, Mr Clarke, who is heading the inquiry into last year's July 7 bombings said the intelligence picture includes some "sinister" threats. "There are some 60 individuals awaiting trial in the UK for terrorist-related offences. This is unprecedented and the flow of new cases shows no sign of abating - if anything it is accelerating," he said.
