Yemen: Demonstrators call for Jihad
Tiny Minority of Extremists Update from the Yemen Observer, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Waves of anger have been rising here in Yemen and in the Arab and Islamic world over Israeli atrocities in Lebanon. Thousands of Yemenis, MPs and leaders of political parties, and civil society organizations staged a demonstration on Wednesday in Al-Sabeen Square to condemn Israeli aggressions and terrorist acts against Palestinians and Lebanese.
The crowd called for Arab governments to declare Jihad and remove all borders in order to defend their brothers in Lebanon and Palestine. Demonstrators carried placards with slogans denouncing Arab leaders silence towards what they described as Israeli arrogance. They were chanting, Arab leaders, the reason is the dollar.
The protesters also raised pictures of Arab leaders such as the late Egyptian Jamal Abdul Nasser, Palestinian Yaser Arafat, Hamas leaders Ahmad Yasin and Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, in addition to pictures of Hizbollah leader Hassan Nasr Allah, and placards with slogans for the resistance in Lebanon No god but Allah, we are all Hizbollah, and We are all Hizbollah, we are all resistance.

Thank you Cindy, I really appreciate the links. I'm going to do a little more research on that story tomorrow if I have the time and energy. I did a little digging the other day, but there is more info to use now. I'll ping you if I find anything interesting. (o:
You're welcome LibertyRocks and thank you.
Updates and feedback always appreciated.
World news seems to be 80% against Israel - and THAT is very troubling news IMHO. Our family met some incredibly nice people from Israel last summer and we cannot help but wonder about their personal safety. Sometimes things happen (like us meeting these people) that puts human faces on world news. May God bless those young people and keep them safe from harm.
Amazingly heard a political rock and roll song that doesn't bash our President
Minneapolis woman first in nation to die of West Nile virus
Snip: Her family doesn't want her name released. But the say she was 72 years old, and she was an active gardener. She fell ill on July 7 and died on July 11. And for months before her death, her relatives say she didn't travel farther than the two-mile radius that surrounds her home in the Powderhorn Park area in Minneapolis.
Putin plans to shut out US oil giants
Snip: President Vladimir Putin is set to keep US oil companies out of a lucrative gas field in the latest sign of the deteriorating relationship between Moscow and Washington.
The Russian leader is expected to favour Norwegian companies and reject bids by America's Chevron and ConocoPhillips after failing to secure backing from the United States for his country's attempt to join the World Trade Organisation.
Islamic charity will get literature back
Snip: Federal officials on Friday agreed to return 155 cartons of religious literature seized two years ago from an Ashland-based Islamic charity, according to the charity's attorney.
"They are turning all the materials over to me. No strings attached," said Thomas Nelson, a Portland attorney representing the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation. A Treasury spokesman declined to comment.

Outcry as border guards seize British "dirty bomb" lorry heading for Iran
Snip: Border guards seized a British lorry on its way to make a delivery to the Iranian military - after discovering it was packed with radioactive material that could be used to build a dirty bomb.
The lorry set off from Kent on its way to Tehran but was stopped by officials at a checkpoint on Bulgaria's northernborder with Romania after a scanner indicated radiation levels 200 times above normal.
The lorry was impounded and the Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NPA) was called out. On board they found ten lead-lined boxes addressed to the Iranian Ministry of Defence. Inside each box was a soil-testing device, containing highly dangerous quantities of radioactive caesium 137 and americium-beryllium.
The soil testers had been sent to Iran by a British firm with the apparent export approval of the Department of Trade and Industry. Last night, the head of the Bulgarian NRA, Nikolai Todorov, said he was shocked that devices containing so much nuclear material could be sold so easily.
He said: "The devices are highly radioactive - if you had another 90 of them you would be able to make an effective dirty bomb." And a spokesman for the Bulgarian customs office, said: "The documentation listed the shipment as destined for the Ministry of Transport in Tehran, although the final delivery address was the Iranian Ministry of Defence.
"According to the documentation they are hand-held soil-testing devices which were sent from a firm in the United Kingdom." A leading British expert last night said the radioactive material could easily be removed and used to construct a dirty bomb.
Dr Frank Barnaby from the Oxford Research Group, said: "You would need a few of these devices to harvest sufficient material for a dirty bomb. Americium-beryllium is an extremely effective element for the construction of a dirty bomb as it has a very long half-life, but I would be amazed to find it out on the street.
"I don't know how you would come by it as it is mainly found in spent reactor-fuel elements and is not at all easy to get hold of. I find it very hard to believe it is so easily available in this device."
Senior Labour MP Andrew MacKinlay called for the Government to tighten up export controls to prevent the Iranian military getting its hands on nuclear material. He said: "The Prime Minister has accused the Iranian Government of sponsoring international terrorism, yet his officials are doing nothing to prevent radioactive material which has an obvious dual use being sold to their military."
The discovery will add to fears about the lack of control over the sale of nuclear material to so-called 'rogue states' which the Government claims sponsor international terrorism, particularly as it comes at a time when Iran is ignoring international calls to halt its nuclear programme.
The case has echoes of the arms-to-Iraq affair during which the DTI approved exports of apparently innocent civilian equipment to Saddam Hussein that was then used to build weapons. Mr MacKinlay added: "Our export controls are a mess.
"The Iranians are resourceful and sophisticated and, just as we saw with Saddam Hussein in the past, this is just the sort of method they would use to get their hands on the equipment they need for their supposedly banned weapons programmes."
Andrew Maclean, a director of Kent-based Orient Transport Services, which was paid by another unnamed British firm to transport the radioactive devices to Iran, said the shipment was perfectly legal.

Snip: The neutron probes, one for measuring soil water content and another for density, have radioactive Americium-241 and Cesium-137 in them. The 70-lb. sealed devices were each in orange carrying cases, in a locked green wooden box in the back of the truck.
Frattingers theory is that the probes have been dumped somewhere. And Grevers says, Theyre totally useless to anybody out there. You cant sell the stuff.

One of our priorities is to assist states in creating and strengthening national regulatory infrastructures to ensure that these radioactive sources are appropriately regulated and adequately secured at all times."
LOL they want to call a meeting in Beirut??? Seeing as Russia is siding with Iran on nuke development, I don't think going to Beirut for a meeting would be very smart. Interesting though, I'd love to know whether Russia thinks they can live side by side with the Militant Muslims, or if the Communists are planning on our two sides' ranks thinning in a war and then enacting their long held dream of world domination? Anyway you slice it this is getting scary frankly.

AFGHANISTAN: THE RETURN OF THE RELIGIOUS POLICE
By Elizabeth Kendal
World Evangelical Alliance Religious Liberty Commission (WEA RLC)
Special to ASSIST News Service
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- When Afghanistan was ruled by the Taliban, strict conservative Islamic practice and values were enforced by the religious police of the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. This force, famous for beating women, destroying art and turning executions into spectator sport, was disbanded after the Taliban was ousted in 2001. Now however this department is being reinstated by President Hamid Karzai's government.
WAR FOR AFGHANISTAN BEING FOUGHT ON TWO FRONTS
There are two battles raging in Afghanistan: the battle between the US and allied forces against a resurgent Taliban; and the battle between Afghanistan's hard-line Islamist conservatives and reformist West-leaning moderates. Taliban military advances, Afghan (mostly Taliban) deaths at the hands of "infidel" forces, and Taliban propaganda against the "apostate government" of "US-puppet" President Hamid Karzai, are all playing into the hands of the hard-line Islamist conservative forces.
The reality is that the government is only one of many power groups in the nation. The government does not control anything much outside Kabul. The countryside is politically fragmented and controlled by warlords who fight either with the Taliban or against them according to their own interests at any time. American military might is not the primary weapon against the Taliban. America has only about one-tenth of the troop numbers that the Soviets did when they failed to pacify the mujahideen. Rather it has been America's ability to manipulate and buy the co-operation and allegiance of the warlords.
But, as Stratfor Intelligence comments: "As Taliban power increases, the willingness of regional warlords to collaborate with the government and the United States decreases. No one wants to be caught on the wrong side of a war in that country." (Stratfor 19 May)
Reflecting the political difficulty caused by Afghan deaths, Afghan President Hamid Karzai recently called on the international community to re-evaluate its strategy regarding the war on terrorism, saying the death of hundreds of Afghans in fighting with coalition troops is "not acceptable". According to Stratfor Intelligence Karzai told a news conference in Kabul, "I strongly believe ... we must engage strategically in disarming terrorism by stopping their sources of supply of money, training, equipment and motivation." This, while both logical and strategic, would also shift the focus of the war on terror to Pakistan. Karzai added that even if the approximately 600 people killed in Afghanistan over the past month are Taliban, "they are sons of this land". (Stratfor 23 June)
TALIBANISATION
In a clear sign that Afghanistan's reformist moderates are drastically lacking support and struggling for political survival, President Karzai's Cabinet has approved a proposal from the government-appointed council of Muslim clerics to reinstate the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
The Pak Tribune (Pakistan News Service) notes: "Although crackdowns on forms of expression deemed un-Islamic have generally come from the courts, and although conservative Islamists are currently the main block in Parliament, this initiative came from the President's recently approved Cabinet." The decision was clearly made for short-term political gain but the long-term implications for Afghanistan are deeply worrying.
Tom Coghlan reports from Kabul for The Independent: "The Afghan government has alarmed human rights groups by approving a plan to reintroduce a Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the body which the Taliban used to enforce its extreme religious doctrine.
"The proposal, which came from the country's Ulema council of clerics, has been passed by the cabinet of President Hamid Karzai and will now go before the Afghan parliament." (Link 1)
Coghlan quotes the Minister for Haj and Religious Affairs, Nematullah Shahrani, who says, "The job of the department will be to tell people what is allowable and what is forbidden in Islam. In practical terms it will be quite different from Taliban times. We will preach ... through radio, television and special gatherings."
According to Coglan, Shahrani denied that the department would have police powers but said it would oppose the proliferation of alcohol and drugs and speak out against terrorism, crime and corruption, adding that it would also encourage people to behave in more Islamic ways.
Likewise, the Deputy Minister for Haj and Religious Affairs Ghazi Suleiman Hamed assured Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's (RFE/RL) Radio Free Afghanistan that the new department will be quite different from the one run by the Taliban. He said there would be no violent punishment, only education, preaching, and encouragement to help move people towards God. (Link 2)
The assurances of moderation provide little comfort to multitudes of Afghan citizens who have traumatic memories of Taliban repression and violence. Likewise, analysts and human rights groups have expressed great concern that the new Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice could become a force of political and religious oppression in the guise of protecting Islamic values. The crimes the department will allegedly focus on, such as alcohol and prostitution, are already covered under criminal law. There is also drastic shortage of safeguards, and the definition of virtue is vague and open to interpretation.
Coglan reports that while Western diplomats have reacted with unease to the proposal, several told The Independent that they believed the move was partly designed to defuse Taliban propaganda which accuses the Karzai government of being un-Islamic.
Coglan writes, "With the Taliban making considerable gains in the south the Karzai government has been keen to establish a more conservative Islamic profile and to appear more critical of Western military operations."
Legislator Shukria Barekzai told RFE/RL that it was not clear when the parliament would debate and consider the proposal. However, she believes there is no need for such a department unless it commits to fighting bureaucratic corruption.
Likewise MP Ahmad Behzad told AFP that he believed there was no need for such a department. "This decision was made under extreme pressure from religious groups a return to Taleban rule is impossible but some circles are trying to lead Afghanistan towards Talebanisation. To preach virtue is cultural work through the media, papers and other means." According to the AFP the Taliban are waging a growing insurgency "with a sophisticated propaganda campaign that includes condemning the government's foreign allies as anti-Islamic 'infidels' who are undermining the country's morality". (Link 3)
Mohamed Asif Nang, the spokesman for parliamentary affairs, told Reuters he did not know when parliament would debate the proposal, but if parliament decided to set the force up again, it would also determine its duties. (Reuters 16 July 2006)
The Afghan Parliament reconvenes at the end of July.

U.S. carefully watching possibility of N. Korea nuke test
Kyodo News ^ | 07/22/06

U.S. carefully watching possibility of N. Korea nuke test
(Kyodo) _ The United States is vigilantly watching the possibility of North Korea conducting a nuclear test now that it has test-fired ballistic missiles, a senior U.S. administration official told Kyodo News on Friday.
"I wouldn't rule it out," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding he is unaware of any indication from North Korea that it plans to test its nuclear weapons.
Asked if the United States is exercising "vigilance" about a nuclear test, the official said, "Very absolutely."
North Korea warned of bolstering its "war deterrent for self-defense in every way by all means" in a Foreign Ministry statement issued a day after the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution July 15 condemning Pyongyang for the July 5 missile launches.
Asked if North Korea has the ability to conduct nuclear tests, the officials said, "I would assume so...It's not that hard to conduct one if you've got the fissile material and the device."
A nuclear test "would be quite counterproductive, but North Korea does things all the time that are counterproductive," he said.
But the official warned Pyongyang that it "would be yet another very provocative act...that further isolates them and further brings the international community together in terms of determination to react to this threat."
Expressing hope on the Chinese role, the official said he believes the missile launches "will move them closer to exercising more leverage" on North Korea to comply with the resolution to recommit to the 1999 missile-test moratorium and return to the six-party denuclearization talks.
"I've always thought that there could be a lot more that they could do in terms of exercising leverage," the official said.
The possibility of a North Korean nuclear test hit headlines in the spring of last year, raising international concern about the North's preparations at its test site.
But there has been no nuclear test so far.

N. Korea: Nuclear Test Possible If UN Sanction Is Imposed
/begin my translation
N. Korea: Nuclear Test Possible If UN Sanction Is Imposed
2006.07.13
If UN passes sanction against N. Korea, N. Korea may resort to nuclear test, according to some expert. Peter Hayes, a professor at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia argued during an interview with RFA that Kim Jong-il may carry it out to show that he does not succumb to U.S. pressure.
Professor Hayes is an expert on energy and security issues. He has been running a project to build small power plants in N. Korea to solve its energy problem. He has visited N. Korea seven times for this project.
In the interview, he suspects that, based on his experience, domestic factors strongly influenced N. Korean decision to push ahead with missile launches. He was visiting N. Korea to discuss his project during 1998 launch of Taepodong-1 missile. At the time, a senior party official explained to Prof. Hayes that it is imperative for N. Korea to show defiance against U.S. because it will maintain pride among starving N. Korean population, and loyalty to Kim Jong-il from military and bureaucracy.
He thinks that things are no different now. Last September, joint agreement was reached at 6-party talks, but N. Korea must have concluded that no progress was made due to U.S. interference. As a result, Kim Jong-il may have found it necessary to side with military and hardliners in favor of missile launches, displaying that he is a strong leader, according to the professor.
Peter Hayes: It was incumbent upon Kim Jong Il to stand strong and be seen to be strong domestically.
External factor is also at play in the decision of N. Korean missile launches at this juncture, according to his analysis. That is, N. Korea may have concluded that it has nothing to lose. The ruling party in S. Korea was crushed in the local election of late May, which would lead to scaling down of aid to N. Korea(by S. Korea,) and U.S. showed no sign of accommodating N. Korean views on nuclear issue. Since China would not easily abandon N. Korea, N. Korea may have calculated that missile launches could provoke Japan which, in turn, draws U.S. attention.
However, Prof. Hayes predicted that, since Kim Jong-il managed to draw attention of the entire world by missile launches, it may go back to negotiation with U.S. again. Nevertheless, if UN Security Council is about to impose sanction of some kind on N. Korea, N. Korea would be severely humiliated, and Kim Jong-il may resort to nuclear test, in order to show that he does not bow to U.S. pressure, he added.
Peter Hayes: If the Security Council does deeply embarrass N. Korea, deeply push on N. Korea, then the other way for Kim Jong Il to recover is to conduct nuclear test.
He predicted that, even if N. Korea goes ahead with nuclear test, it will first show off preliminary steps to the test, to maximize its value as bargaining chip, before the final test.
