Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran mullah Ahmad Khatami said here that the US was humiliated in Iran's nuclear case. "The US was humiliated in Iran's peaceful nuclear case as the world people observed it," said Khatami, who is also an all-mullah 'Experts Assembly' member, in his first Friday prayers sermon to group of bassijis in Tehran University campus on Friday.
Mullah said Americans suffered disgrace and humiliating defeat in Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq too. He then quoted a westerner as point to west's intention to humiliate Iran in its nuclear case and said, "Iran can not be humiliated." "One of the westerners had said that in nuclear energy issue we want to humiliate Iran, while Iran can't be downgraded and it is and will always remain dear; this means Americans' lack of wisdom."

Hamas to Abbas: Reject US money
Jan. 5, 2007
Palestinian legislator and Hamas supporter Mushir al-Musri called upon Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Friday to refuse to receive funds from the USA. The accusation follows a report that the Bush Administration intends to transfer $86.4 million to the security branches of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Al-Masri accused Washington of assisting the 'revolution' against the Hamas government. "We demand that Chairman Abbas reject this American policy which only increases the rift in the Palestinian nation," al-Masri said.

GSPC in a message: We are awaiting Ben Laden’s instructions (Algeria)
January 6, 2007
Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) has refused to give up armed fighting as it was called for by President of the Republic, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in his speech before Nation’s executives on December 26. The GSPC invited Home Minister to tell the “truth” about security situation in Algeria.
The Salafist Group is awaiting Ben Laden’s “instructions” for the coming stage, it adds. Abdelmalek Droukdal alias Abu Musaab Abdelouadoud, Chief of the GSPC, released via internet a long message dated December 3, in which he rejects the President’s call, saying the Salafist Group “is determined to carry on its path”. Headed “Word”, the message explained that GSPC which came out of the GIA (Islamic Armed Group) in the Fall 1998 got no foreign support. Yet, it is mentioned that the group had obtained lately quantities of arms and ammunition.
The Salafist Group has unprecedently admitted it was assisted by foreign persons to carry out terrorist attacks, “young men are getting up and are keen to bear arms from inside the country and from abroad as well”, said Droukdal who made a call foreigners as well as Algerians to join his rows.
El Khabar had previously published stories on Tunisians, Libyans, Moroccans and some people from African Sahel who have been fighting –until now- under the banner of the GSPC. El Khabar also mentioned some Algerian young men joined the group lately. Abdelouadoud invited Interior Minister, Yazid Zerhouni, to “disclose the real figure about the young men who have joined Jihad ground in the last months”. It is wrong to speak of “residual terrorists”, adds the message mentioning latest terrorist attacks.
The message also addressed to what it called “our dearest Abi Abdallah Usama Ben Laden”, renewing allegiance to him, and qualifying GSPC’s members of Ben Laden’s soldiers. The United States and NATO are supporting, logistically and financially, African Sahel countries “to fight us”, he explains adding “evil axis” has started to move after we announced allegiance to al-Qaeda in mid-September. “We are awaiting your instructions and recommendations for next stage”, Abu Musab Abdelouadoud affirmed addressing Ben Laden.
LAHORE: It has been more than five years since the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mulla Omar, vanished into the trackless terrain outside Kandahar, and his likeliest source of sanctuary is thought to be the belt of rugged tribal territory straddling the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, in Kuchlak – a dusty desert crossroads in Balochistan – Mullah Omar is still referred to by the title of amir al-mominin, or commander of the faithful. The report said that Omar’s feat of eluding a long manhunt by the Americans and their allies was celebrated in Kuchlak as proof of his “mystical powers”.
“With all their sophisticated satellites, they cannot find him,” said Fazil Mohammad Baraich, a district chieftain. “It is no surprise that God protects him … this increases our faith.” To admirers, the near-completeness of Omar’s vanishing act after fleeing his compound outside Kandahar in 2001 is a triumphant rebuttal of the allies’ characterisations of him as a simpleton. “If that is the case, why has he been able to hide so well and for so long?” said Baraich.
Rumours of Omar sightings abound, and are repeated by locals with an air of satisfied certainty. “I have heard on good authority that he is living in a camp in the military enclave outside Quetta,” the report quoted Muhammed Ashiq, head of a merchants’ association in that provincial capital, as saying. The report said that in tribal communities such as Kuchlak, sympathy for the Taliban was “undiminished”. It said that the cult-like devotion to Omar in mosques and makeshift classrooms of tribal territories helped ensure a “steady supply of Taliban fighters”.
Kuchlak, 10 miles north of Quetta, is a convenient way station for anybody looking to move surreptitiously in and out of the tribal belt. One road out of town leads north to the Afghan border and continues to Kandahar, while another, with only a single police checkpoint in more than 100 miles, leads to Waziristan. Because of Omar’s longtime aversion to being photographed, few in the border hinterlands would be in a position to positively identify him. The report said that in any event, many observers believed that betrayal from within Omar’s tribal milieu would be unthinkable.

"Abu Mussâb unveils a “war plan” in the Maghreb States
Hassan Hattab joins GSPC fiefdoms"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abu Mussâb renewed in the communiqué GSPC insistence on carrying on “terror” and revealed phone calls he had with Al Qaeda second chief stating: “we discussed pure military issues … we joined the real Islamist organisation under the leadership of our brother and supreme chief Ayman Al-Zawahri”. What is amazing is that this quotation does not refer to Al Qaeda leader Osama Ben Laden. His speech gives the impression that Al-Zawahri is the universal jihad organisation effective leader. It highlights whether the matter is related to French Information services reports speculating Ben Laden death by a deadly illness.
The report is aired a month after the GSPC affiliation to Al Qaeda.
Abdul Wadud stated: “the next communiqué will enshrine the Arab Maghreb war plan explanation”, underscoring the GSPC affiliation to Al Qaeda as a prelude to a terrorist organization targeting Maghreb States and the western interests over there."
