Iran's Russia - Built Atomic Plant to Start Up Sept '07
LONDON (Reuters) - The atomic reactor Russia is building for Iran at Bushehr is scheduled to start up in September next year, Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia's atomic energy agency, said on Friday.
"A realistic deadlineis November 2007. This means a physical start-up (of the reactor) in September and the dispatch of fuel ... six months earlier," he told Reuters in an interview.
"That means March or April."
Russia has consistently postponed the opening date for the plant, citing technical difficulties caused by the need to build it on the foundations of a differently designed station started before the 1979 Iranian revolution.
Washington has long pushed for Russia to stop building the atomic plant for Iran, which it accuses of seeking nuclear arms.
It believes Iran could use Russian atomic know-how to make nuclear weapons, and wants sanctions imposed to force Iran to abandon its nuclear research.
Kiriyenko said the construction at Bushehr was being carried out under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and should not be seen as a threat to world peace.
"I am not involved in discussing the issue of sanctions against Iran, but from my understanding there are no objective grounds for the building of Bushehr to fall under sanctions,'' he said.
"As long as the plant does not violate non-proliferation requirements ... there will no obstacles."

Treasury Cuts Iran's Bank Saderat Off From U.S. Financial System
Levey: "It is remarkable that Iran has a nine-digit line item in its budget to support terrorism."
In a move to counter Iran's support for terrorism, the U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced that Iran's Bank Saderat is being cut off from all access to the U.S. financial system, direct or indirect.
"Bank Saderat facilitates Iran's transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars to Hizballah and other terrorist organizations each year. We will no longer allow a bank like Saderat to do business in the American financial system, even indirectly," said Stuart Levey, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI).
Bank Saderat is one of the largest Iranian-owned banks, with roughly 3400 branch offices. The bank is used by the Government of Iran to transfer money to terrorist organizations, including Hizballah, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. A notable example of this is a Hizballah-controlled organization that has received $50 million directly from Iran through Bank Saderat since 2001.
Under the current Iranian Transactions Regulations (31 CFR Part 560), U.S. banks may process certain funds transfers involving an Iranian bank, such as transfers for authorized or exempt transactions and "U-turn" transactions. U-turn transactions allow U.S. banks to process payments involving Iran that begin and end with a non-Iranian foreign bank. Bank Saderat will not be able to participate in any transfers involving U.S. banks, effective from the date that the amendment to the regulations is filed with the Federal Register early next week.
By prohibiting U-turn and all other transactions with Bank Saderat, the bank is denied all direct and indirect access to the U.S. financial system.

"Christian faces court over 'offensive' gay festival leaflets"
The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 6th September 2006 | STEVE DOUGHTY
Posted on 09/08/2006 5:21:03 PM PDT by FreedomCalls
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A police force was caught up in a freedom of speech row after its officers arrested an anti-gay campaigner for handing out leaflets at a homosexual rally.
South Wales police admitted evangelical Christian Stephen Green was then charged purely because his pamphlets contained anti-gay quotations from the Bible.
Mr Green faces a court appearance today charged with using 'threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour' after his attempt to distribute the leaflets at the weekend 'Mardi Gras' event in Cardiff.
A spokesman for the police said the campaigner had not behaved in a violent or aggressive manner, but that officers arrested him because 'the leaflet contained Biblical quotes about homosexuality'.
The arrest of Mr Green by the South Wales Minorities Support Unit provoked a furious row. Church of England evangelicals said it represented 'an onslaught on freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression' and Tory MPs called it 'disturbing'.
The decision to prosecute Mr Green is the latest in a series of police initiatives aimed against those who have expressed public disapproval of homosexual behaviour."

Missing Air Force major found
Updated: 9/8/2006 9:06 PM
By: News 14 Carolina Staff & Associated Press
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan -- There’s good news in the search for a Vance County Air Force major who disappeared in a foreign country.
The military says Jill Metzger has been found in Kyrgyzstan. Her head was shaven but she is apparently uninjured.
Maj. Jill Metzger, 33, who went missing Tuesday, knocked on the door of a house in a town outside the capital early Saturday morning and told residents she had been abducted, Deputy Interior Minister Omurbek Suvanaliyev told The Associated Press.
Metzger said that she had been seized by three young men and a woman in a minibus and held in a rural area 30 miles from the Central Asian nation's capital, Suvanaliyev said.
She was near the end of a four month stint at a nearby base.
Her family lives just outside Henderson. Her father says she has a lot to come home to because hundreds of people in Vance County took part in a prayer chain to help bring the missing woman home.

So does that make him a rising star or a falling star?
Shaved her head, huh?
Hmmm...
I AM SO GLAD SHE HAS BEEN FOUND.
Thank You Jesus.
Amen.
And thanks you Gucho for the ping to this article.
As Sahab 911 commemorative tape shows 911 hijackers rehearsing with boxcutters; also shows Azzam the American
We have been able to acquire a pre-release version of the 9/11 commemorative tape that As Sahab has announced.
In addition to the scenes shown on Al Jazeera on Thursday, the video includes previously unseen footage of Azzam the American, describing the September 11 attacks and the hijackers.
In a particularly gruesome scene, the video shows the hijackers practicing with box cutters, and shows them rehearsing slitting the throats of passengers on the planes.
We will be bringing you more of this video as the night goes on; an analysis is currently in progress.

Operations in Iraq Yield Insurgents, Weapons
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2006 – Iraqi army units, along with coalition force advisors, conducted multiple raids yesterday to capture suspected insurgents, U.S. military officials said.
In a raid in Habbiniyah, Iraqi army forces captured two people believed to have engaged in insurgent activities against Iraqi and coalition forces. One was a suspected makeshift-bomb maker connected with multiple attacks against coalition forces, officials said.
An insurgent engaged in an intimidation campaign against Iraqi citizens also was captured during a raid in Taji. The suspect controlled an insurgent cell that engaged in the systematic kidnapping of Iraqi citizens, officials said.
In a raid in Ramadi, a suspected sniper and four others suspected of detonating makeshift bombs against Iraqi and coalition forces were captured.
All raids occurred without further incident and with no reported casualties, officials said.
In other news from Iraq, Iraqi policemen, in a combined patrol with soldiers from Company B, 4th Battalion, 14th Cavalry Regiment, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, detained a terrorist suspect and reported that two others were wounded after a failed makeshift-car-bomb attack in northeastern Baghdad yesterday.
The wounded suspects were taken to a hospital before the patrol arrived at the site, officials said.
In addition, U.S. soldiers killed an insurgent and wounded another near Hawija, in Iraq’s Kirkuk province, yesterday. The soldiers, from 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, spotted the insurgents placing a roadside makeshift bomb and engaged them with small-arms fire. An explosive ordnance disposal team was sent to the site and found a mortar round next to the insurgents’ vehicle, officials said.
Also, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers discovered a large weapons cache and detained 20 suspected terrorists Sept. 6 after stopping a suspicious looking truck in eastern Baghdad, officials said.
After searching the truck, soldiers from Company A, 3rd Battalion, 67th Armored Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, seized assault rifles, body armor vests, a rocket-propelled-grenade launcher, rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, a grenade, a machine gun, ammunition, an assault-rifle, ammunition vests, a handgun and rifle magazines.
Meanwhile, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers from Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, arrested a terrorist and confiscated his weapons while conducting operations to disrupt terrorist movement during the Shabaniyah pilgrimage, south of Baghdad Sept. 6.
The arrest took place after soldiers were conducting vehicle searches and observed six suspects behaving suspiciously. The patrol moved toward the suspects and identified one terrorist with a loaded rocket-propelled-grenade launcher. Soldiers engaged the terrorists, and the group fled. One terrorist remained behind in an attempt to ambush the patrol, officials said. Soldiers arrested the potential attacker, who was wearing body armor, and confiscated a machine gun, assault rifles and a loaded rocket-propelled grenade with an additional round.
