"P’unggye-yok"
By Nick Grace
August 20, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Many thanks to Bill Roggio of the Counterterrorism Blog for assistance.

Suspicious activity reported in North Korea's northeast mountains, specifically P’unggye-yok. Large reels of cable being unloaded. Activity increasing to alarming levels Thursday and Friday. Underground nuclear test feared in Washington.

"It is the view of the intelligence community that a test is a real possibility."

"Possible North Korean Nuclear Test Linked to Iranian Deadline?"
By Daveed Gartenstein-Ross


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "When news broke Friday that North Korea may be preparing for an underground detonation of a nuclear device, the question that immediately arose in my mind was whether this was linked to Iran's self-imposed Aug. 22 deadline for providing a final answer about its nuclear development. Certainly the two countries have cooperated in the past. For example, I have previously blogged about Iran's purchase of missiles from North Korea.

It is entirely conceivable that these two items are unrelated."

Snipers kill 17 Iraq Shiite pilgrims

Snipers firing from rooftops and a cemetery killed at least 17 people and wounded dozens Sunday in a series of attacks on a Shiite religious procession that drew hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Baghdad. The "terrorist assaults" took place when the pilgrims were walking through Sunni areas on their way to the shrine of Imam Moussa Kadhim, one of 12 Shiite saints, Health Ministry spokesman Qassim Allawi told The Associated Press.

In one neighborhood, security forces and Shiite militiamen in flak jackets were seen exchanging gunfire with unseen assailants who were firing from houses and buildings. Some of the attackers were firing from behind tombstones in a Sunni cemetery.

The violence defied a weekend driving ban to prevent car bombs amid a cycle of tit-for-tat attacks by Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite mosque in Samarra. The sectarian warfare, along with the deadly Sunni Arab insurgency, has become the biggest challenge for the U.S.-backed national unity government.

Terror charges for Danish Muslim

bbc.co.uk:

A Danish Muslim is to go on trial in Denmark on charges of inciting local Muslims to commit terrorist acts.
Moroccan-born Said Mansour is accused of distributing videos and other material calling for a holy war against the West.

Mr Mansour, who has been held on remand since last September, denies the accusations.

His trial will be the first in Denmark under the anti-terror laws introduced after the 11 September 2001 attacks.

The prosecutor's office said that the justice minister had given approval for the case to proceed.

Under the new legislation the justice minister brings charges in cases concerning terrorism.

No date has yet been set for the trial.

Prosecutors say Mr Mansour used his publishing company, Al-Nur Islamic Information, in Copenhagen to produce and distribute audio and video material urging Muslims to wage a holy war.

He rejected the accusations, describing the videos as material already broadcast on major media networks.

Danish media allege that Mr Mansour has been under surveillance by European intelligence services since 2001 and that in London he met the cleric Abu Qatada, who has been in jail and under house arrest since 2002.

Electric dryer used as a Faraday cage?

As long as the dryer is conductive metal, or surrounded by conductive metal, and grounded I would think it would work.

Here are some links, not specific to electric dryers, that might give you some useful information.

This website is a bit "out there" for me, but their Faraday cage info is good:

"Three Iranian factories 'mass-produce bombs to kill British in Iraq'"
telegraph ^ | 20/08/2006 | Toby Harnden in Washington

Posted on 08/20/2006 2:22:58 PM PDT by humint

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Three factories in Iran are mass-producing the sophisticated roadside bombs used to kill British soldiers over the border in Iraq, it has been claimed.

The lethal bombs are being made by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps at ordnance factory sites in Teheran, according to opponents of the country's theocratic regime.


Designed to penetrate heavy armour, the devices being manufactured in Iran involve the use of "explosively formed projectiles" or EFPs, also known as shaped charges, often triggered by infra-red beams.

The weapons can pierce the armour of British and American tanks and armoured personnel carriers and completely destroy armoured Land Rovers, which are used by the majority of British troops on operations in Iraq.

The Sunday Telegraph revealed in April that Iranian-made devices employing several EFPs, directed at different angles, were being used in Iraq.

And in June, this newspaper obtained the first picture of one of the Iraqi insurgent weapons - designed to fire an armour-piercing EFP - believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 17 British soldiers.

British Government scientists have already established that the mines are precision-made weapons thought to have been turned on a lathe by craftsmen trained in the manufacture of munitions.

Members of the Washington-based Iran Policy Committee have released the details about the three bomb factories gathered by the exile group, the National Council for Resistance in Iran (NCRI).

Iranians working for the NCRI pinpointed the facilities at three industrial sections called Sattari, Sayad Shirazi and Shiroodi. The factories are in the Lavizan neighbourhood in northern Teheran which is controlled by the country's defence ministry. The Sattari Industry specialises in anti-tank mines and operates under the aegis of the IRGC's al-Quds or Jerusalem Force.

Alireza Jafarzadeh, a former spokesman for the NCRI who in 2002 revealed the existence of two Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz and Arak, said the devices were smuggled to Iraq via Iran's Shalamcheh border region.

"These sites are close to a military site, known as Lavizan 2, that is now being used for Iran's nuclear programme. It shows there is a high level of co-ordination by the Iranian regime, which wants to destabilise Iraq to make way for an Islamic Republic.

"This is not a ragtag workshop in some remote area. These sites are within an area that is one of the most sanitised parts of Teheran which is controlled by the Iranian Defence Ministry.""

The World's Worst Internet Laws Sneaking Through the Senate

August 03, 2006

[Update: The Cybercrime Treaty was ratified by the Senate late last night. The U.S. will now have to comply to requests for assistance from fifteen countries, and growing.]

The Convention on Cybercrime is a sweeping treaty that has been waiting in the wings of the Senate for nearly three years. Now the administration is putting pressure on the Senate to ratify it in the next two days. If it does, it would mean the U.S. would enforce not just our own, but the rest of the world's bad Net laws. Call your Senator now, and ask them to hold its ratification.

The treaty requires that the U.S. government help enforce other countries' "cybercrime" laws - even if the act being prosecuted is not illegal in the United States. That means that countries that have laws limiting free speech on the Net could oblige the F.B.I. to uncover the identities of anonymous U.S. critics, or monitor their communications on behalf of foreign governments. American ISPs would be obliged to obey other jurisdiction's requests to log their users’ behavior without due process, or compensation.

The treaty came into force last year on the international front, but not in the US, where it needs to be ratified by Congress first. So far, ratification has been blocked thanks to a "hold" placed by conservative lawmakers. But Republican senators this week are now being heavily pressured by the administration to drop their objections, and let it fly.

Ratifying the Cybercrime treaty would introduce not just one bad Internet law into America's lawbooks, but invite the enforcement of all the world's worst Internet laws. Call your senators now, and tell them to hold this invasive treaty at bay.
