Nine Terrorists Killed in Iraq, 12 Detained; Weapons Cache Found
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2007 – Coalition forces killed nine terrorists, detained 12 others, and discovered a large weapons cache in operations around Iraq over the past three days.
Coalition forces conducted an air strike in the Arab Jabour area yesterday targeting al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists and foreign fighter facilitators. Coalition aircraft killed eight terrorists when they dropped precision bombs on their facility.
In Baqubah yesterday, Iraqi and coalition forces encountered unidentified enemy fighters while responding to an improvised explosive device attack.
Combined forces received heavy small-arms and rocket-propelled-grenade fire from enemy fighters in several buildings around the area. Combined forces returned fire, killing one insurgent.
Elsewhere in Iraq yesterday, soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, detained a man who was attempting to detonate an improvised explosive device near Camp Taji.
Earlier this week, soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Iraqi Army Division, patrolling the Nablis neighborhood west of Mosul Feb. 6 accidentally collided with a civilian vehicle. The vehicle's two occupants immediately attempted to flee the scene, but were apprehended by the Iraqi soldiers.
After tactical questioning, one detainee told Iraqi soldiers where a huge weapons cache was located. Using the new intelligence, Iraqi soldiers raided a house behind a sheep market in the neighborhood.
Troops discovered a false wall in the house, hiding eight AK-47 assault rifles, four RPK automatic machine guns, six RPG launchers, a sniper rifle, a semi-automatic carbine, loads of ammunition, grenades, nine ski masks and a fully functional IED.
Iraqi soldiers detained six suspected insurgents at the site, five of whom possessed plastic explosive materials. During a raid the following night, troops detained three other suspects.

Holy smokes.
Airport security is a joke, IMO.

Worldwide Caution Public Announcement
U.S. Embassy Sarajevo issued the following Warden Message on February 9:
Over the past several weeks, there have been several bomb explosions at various locations within the city of Mostar. Fortunately there have been no injuries or loss of life in these incidents and there is no indication that the events involve political or ethnic unrest, or that they were targeted against American citizens. It appears that the bombings have all been related to either organized crime vendettas or interpersonal conflict.
Local officials have advised the embassy that there are two cafes in Mostar that pose potential dangers for American citizens because of the nature of the clientele. The two locations are, Café "Hacijenda" (on the way to the Mostar airport, on the right side before making left turn to the airport road) and Café "Kolo" (located at the Buna river across camping site). The embassy has advised its staff avoid both locations.
The U.S. Embassy takes this opportunity to remind U.S. citizens living, working or traveling in Bosnia to assess their general security awareness and personal security practices.
For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad should monitor the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov for Worldwide Cautions, Public Announcements, and Travel Warnings, including the Travel Warning on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Up-to-date information on security is also available by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S.; for callers outside the United States and Canada, there is a regular toll line at 1-317-472-2328. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
In the event of an emergency or for more information, please contact U.S. Embassy Sarajevo at (033) 445-700, extensions 2499, 2210 or 2337. Additional information can also be found on the U.S. Embassy's internet web site at http://www.usembassy.ba.

Yep.
A flag of convenience ship carrying volatile ammonium nitrate is being towed back to Newcastle after its engine room caught fire. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said the engine or wiring of the Bahamas flagged Baltimar Boreas had caught fire, disabling the ship, after it left the Newcastle Port on Thursday night. The fire had been extinguished and a tug had been sent to tow the ship back to Newcastle, where it was expected to arrive on Friday evening, an ATSB spokesman said.
Dean Summer, an Australian spokesman for the International Transport Workers Federation, said the federal government had to explain what the ship was doing plying the eastern coast of Australia with such a dangerous cargo. "This foreign vessel with a mix of foreign crew has been trading up and down the east coast since January 4," Mr Summer said. "It's visited six Australian ports over the past five weeks and it can't do that without some sort of permit from the federal government.
"We want the government to come clean. We want to know why a foreign vessel is allowed to carry such high-risk cargo on the Australian coast, putting Australian port communities, our national security and the environment at risk. "If this ship went up in smoke in Newcastle harbour it could take out the whole city. We want the government to tell the Australian people what is going on.
"Ammonium nitrate is used as an explosive in mining operations, as a fertiliser and is the weapon of choice for terrorists. It was ammonium nitrate that was used during the Bali bombings."
Mr Summers said the vessel was expected to arrive back in Newcastle on Friday evening. The ATSB spokesman said the ship had been heading for Port Moresby with its cargo of ammonium nitrate. He said two investigating officers had been sent to meet the ship on its return to Newcastle to establish the circumstances of the incident.

NYC beefs up water system patrols after bombs found in California
Thu, Feb. 08, 2007
NEW YORK - Authorities beefed up patrols and surveillance Thursday at critical points in the city's water system after pipe bombs were found in a portion of the California Aqueduct.
"It's strictly a precautionary measure," said Ian Michaels, a spokesman for the city's Department of Environmental Protection. The DEP is charged with protecting the vast water system that supplies the city's 8 million residents.
Three pipe bombs were discovered Tuesday near a valve in a portion of the California Aqueduct, which had been partially drained as part of a routine check for submerged objects. The California Highway Patrol said that if the bombs had been triggered, they could have opened the valve and released water. A bomb unit detonated them in a safe area.
It wasn't known if the bombs were placed in the aqueduct to intentionally disrupt California's water supplies, but Michaels said New York City wasn't taking any chances. "A potential threat to a major water supply in other parts of the country gets our attention," he said. Michaels said the added security would last "indefinitely," and DEP officers hadn't discovered anything suspicious. The DEP has approximately 175 officers to protect the system, Michaels said. New York City has the largest unfiltered surface water supply in the world. Every day, some 1.3 billions gallons of water from this vast system is delivered to residents, according to the DEP's Web site.

Mystery notes, bombs threaten US financial firms
Thu Feb 8, 2007
KANSAS CITY, Mo.- Pipe bombs sent to U.S. asset management firms in Kansas City and Chicago last week appear linked to an individual known as "The Bishop" who has authored an escalating series of threats to firms over the last 18 months, a corporate counter-terrorism expert said on Thursday.
American Century Investment Management Inc. in Kansas City received a threatening letter along with a "functional pipe bomb" on Jan. 31, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said. The bomb was dismantled without incident, Lanza said. A day later, a similar note and bomb were received at the Chicago financial services firm of Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Co. The device had originally been mailed to the Janus Capital Group in Denver, but then was forwarded to Perkins, which is a subadviser to Janus, Janus spokeswoman Shelly Peterson said.
"We're taking this very seriously. Obviously the issue for Janus is of the utmost importance," Peterson said. "It is concerning," said Fred Burton, vice president of counter terrorism for Stratfor, a global private intelligence firm which has had several clients receive similar threats since 2005. Stratfor warned its clients in an advisory on Wednesday that the threats made to U.S. financial services firms appeared to be escalating.

Sounds like a HUGE clip to me. Uzi style?
Is America any different from Britain where this is concerned?
Listening to the news there's a category being ignored pretty much nationally. This is NOT something our nation's children should have to endure on a daily basis. Seems to me not enough is being done to secure schools nationally! It's something school bond issues never mention. It's way past time for ideas for solutions to be brought forward and addressed for uniform compliance (ie making sure classroom doors can be locked in case of emergency).
You're not alone in that opinion. Makeup, baby lotion and eye liner don't chant, discuss America negatively, seat themselves in unassigned seats or act suspiciously on airplanes, but these cosmetic items are treated with more concern than the passengers who do those things. There's something defintely wrong with that picture.
On a Glock the ammo is staggered within the magazine so the length is less than a 30 round mag for, say, a Colt. So it's not really "huge". Not a magazine I would use to carry concealed. Bigger than what is the standard in the grip which would hold 10-12 rounds.
Hope that makes sense. The JFK incident still seems odd to me.
Snip: Given the increased radicalisation of Muslim youngsters in countries such as the UK and the Netherlands, many fear that this threat may even increase in the coming years.
That's for sure.
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
It does make sense, thanks.
I still think it's something that should be found by the baggage screeners.
I'm glad you're feeling better MamaDearest.
