SHAHAWAR MATIN SIRAJ SENTENCED TO THIRTY YEARS
OF IMPRISONMENT FOR CONSPIRING TO PLACE EXPLOSIVES
AT THE 34th STREET SUBWAY STATION IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK — Roslynn R. Mauskopf, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, announced that Shahawar Matin Siraj was sentenced today to 30 years in prison for his role in conspiring to plant explosive devices at the 34th Street subway station in Manhattan in August 2004, just prior to the start of the Republican National Convention at nearby Madison Square Garden. The sentencing proceeding was held before U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon at the U.S. Courthouse in Brooklyn. Siraj was convicted by a federal jury in Brooklyn on May 24, 2006, following a five-week trial.

Siraj is the second individual convicted for participating in this plot. In Oct. 2004, James Elshafay pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage or destroy a subway station by means of an explosive, and testified against Siraj at his trial. Elshafay’s sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

At trial, the government proved that Siraj and Elshafay plotted to plant explosive devices at the Herald Square subway station in order to disrupt commerce and transportation in New York City and damage the economy. The evidence included hours of secretly recorded conversations between Siraj and Osama Eldawoody, an Egyptian nuclear engineer who became a paid informant for the New York City Police Department’s Intelligence Division, in which Siraj expressed his hatred for America and discussed his desire to place explosives on various bridges and in subway stations in New York City, including the subway station at 34th Street. In furtherance of their scheme, on Aug. 21, 2004, Siraj and Elshafay inspected the station, and later drew diagrams of the location in order to help them place a bomb. When arrested on Aug. 27, 2004, neither Siraj nor Elshafay possessed any explosive material.

“Thanks to the extraordinary work of law enforcement, the defendants’ plot did not advance beyond the planning stage, and the public was never at risk,” stated U.S. Attorney Mauskopf. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to stop would-be terrorists before they act, and will apply all available resources to secure the safety of our residents.” Ms. Mauskopf praised the outstanding work of the New York City Police Department, and thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New York Joint Terrorist Task Force for their assistance.

The government’s case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Todd Harrison and Marshall L. Miller of the Eastern District’s Violent Crimes and Terrorism Section.

"U.S. wants new hearing on 'millennium bomber' sentence"

By CURT WOODWARD
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SEATTLE -- Federal prosecutors want another chance to seek a stiffer prison term for a man convicted of plotting to bomb Los Angeles International Airport at the turn of the millennium.

In a Friday filing, interim U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan of Seattle asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review the case of Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian whose 22-year prison sentence was thrown out in January.

Ressam was arrested near the U.S.-Canadian border in December 1999 after customs agents found 124 pounds of explosives in the trunk of his car as he disembarked from a ferry at Port Angeles, Wash.

Prosecutors said he was intent on bombing the Los Angeles airport on the eve of the millennium. The arrest raised fears of terrorism attacks and prompted the cancellation of New Year's celebrations at Seattle's Space Needle."

"Jailed Muslim Blogger Defended Christians"
March 1, 2007

"Muslims revealed their true ugly face and appeared to all the world that they are full of brutality, barbarism and inhumanity."

Those were the words uttered by Abdel Kareem Nabil Soliman on his blog after Muslim rioters attacked a Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt in 2005.

Those same words were used by a judge last week to convict the 22-year-old Egyptian blogger on charges of "insulting Islam." Soliman will spend the next four years in prison."

Police Arrest 170 More in Danish Protests
By Jan M. Olsen
AP Writer
March 3, 2007



CBNNews.com -- COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) --

ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""After a very hectic night, calm finally has settled over the city," Munch said. "We have something like more than 400 people arrested in the past days.""

ARTICLE SNIIPPET: "About three hours later, a bonfire in the street ignited a blaze in a nearby building housing a kindergarten and an adjacent two-story house."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "It was the second night of violent street battles. On Thursday night, demonstrators threw cobblestones, burned cars, lit fires and fought with police. Twenty-five people were injured and 219 were arrested."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In the southwestern Swedish city of Malmo, police arrested three people on Friday in connection with the Copenhagen clashes, the Swedish news agency TT said. They were held on suspicion of planning to participate in violent protests and possession of explosives and flammable material.

Sympathy protests were held in Hamburg, in northern German, and in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

The eviction had been planned since last year, when courts ordered the squatters to hand the building over to a Christian congregation that had bought it six years ago. The squatters refused, saying the city had no right to sell the building while it was still in use."

"Cricket World Cup Fact Sheet"

FACT SHEET SNIPPET: "The Cricket World Cup will take place in various venues in the Caribbean, from March 5, 2007, through April 28, 2007. Sixteen nations will be represented, with matches scheduled in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. Accommodations and flights are limited, so travelers should secure confirmed reservations as soon as possible. Increased demands on services in countries hosting the Cricket World Cup may result in higher than normal prices for taxis, rooms, food, and other amenities. For additional information on the Cricket World Cup, including information on hotel accommodations, tickets, transportation, and advice for spectators, please see the official website for the Cricket World Cup 2007 at http://www.cricketworldcup.com. All American citizens traveling to and from the Caribbean must be in possession of a valid, unexpired passport. American citizens planning to travel to the Caribbean at the time of the tournament for vacation or to see any of the games should visit http://travel.state.gov to see the latest travel information, entry requirements for the countries they intend to visit, and information on how to obtain a U.S. passport.

Security Assessment:

The U.S. Government remains concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Any large-scale public events could be the focus of terrorist acts or other forms of violence. U.S. citizens planning to attend matches or participate in other large-scale public gatherings during the Cricket World Cup are advised to use caution and stay alert to their surroundings at all times. As security increases in and around event venues, terrorists may shift their focus to more unprotected locations such as open public spaces, hotels, buses and other transportation systems, churches, restaurants, and other sites.

While there have been no specific, credible terrorist threats to the Cricket World Cup, the threat from international terrorist groups at major public events is always a principal concern. This includes the periods immediately before and after these events. Terrorist groups have demonstrated the capability to carry out sophisticated attacks against sizable structures – such as ships, large office buildings, embassies, and hotels. Threats could also emanate from extremists who may not be directly controlled by one terrorist group, as occurred in the Madrid train bombings on March 11, 2004, and the subway and bus bombings in London on July 7 and 21, 2005.

One way to make your foreign travel safer and more enjoyable is to inform yourself of what you will find when you arrive overseas. The Department of State publishes Consular Information Sheets that provide important travel information about every country in the world. They include such topics as usual immigration practices, health conditions, minor political disturbances, usual currency and entry regulations, crime awareness, drug penalties, and security/terrorism issues. There are also links to other sources of information. Consular Information Sheets are designed to help you make your own decisions about travel.

Escaped Persecuted Church Leader from China Denied Refugee Status in Thailand by UN
China Aid Association Appeals for International Intervention

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries

BANGKOK, THAILAND (ANS) -- A "severely persecuted" house church leader from Xi’an, Shangxi province in China has been denied protection by the United Nations High Commissioner Office in Thailand.

According to China Aid Association (CAA), Elder Lei Wensen and his family members were severely persecuted by the Chinese security apparatus for their leadership in the house church movement in China.
CAA president Bob Fu said that he received a letter from Elder Lei Wensen asking for help on January 26, 2007.

In it, Elder Lei wrote: “Dear Pastor Bob Fu: My name is Lei Wensen, my wife is Zhang Lingyan, and my son is Lei En. We are Christians from Xian City, Shaanxi Province, China. I want to briefly tell you of the cruel persecution we faced at the hands of the government because of our faith in God.

“I was converted the summer of 1994 in Moscow, Russia which is the fruit of the work of the Chinese missionaries from North America and Korea. I went to a Chinese church in the Far East for an internship that autumn. I had hoped to evangelize throughout middle Asia and submit a report on the Donggan Tribe to Pastor Larry, who was taking charge of the church then. The report was later handed over to Pastor Wang Yongxin from The Great Mission and published in a magazine sponsored by The Great Mission.

“I told my wife who remained at home in China about the Gospel after my conversion. Soon after, Li Jun, my neighbor in 1970’s, who is also my schoolmate in primary school and middle school, began frequent visits to my home with his wife, Zhang Wei. They were very ‘concerned’ about me. Actually our relationship was not so close after 1972 owing to our differences in character.

“Sometimes, my wife found [that] Li Jun seemed to be strangely familiar with what I had written to my wife. They even knew things in my letters that my wife had not mentioned to them. Obviously they were sent by the government. The persecution started following my baptism. I devoted myself to the evangelical work in Middle Asia, being ordained as an elder in the church, and writing the report on the Donggan Tribe. The persecution became more and more severe and cruel.

“One winter evening my wife returned home from working at a children’s food store. She lived alone at that time because our son was living with his grandparents. When she entered the apartment she was covered with a blanket and rendered unconscious. She found herself lying naked on the cold cement floor of our home when she came to.

“Another time my wife returned from work to find our home had been vandalized, clothes and bedding were smeared with excrement, and rice and flour were mixed with maggots. Later my wife found her medicine had been tampered with and it caused her to feel dizzy and even hallucinate.

“My wife also suffered physically and spiritually in her workplace by her boss and colleagues. She still trembles when she recalls what happened after I returned home at the beginning of 1995. My wife became rather weak as a result of severe persecution. When Li Jun heard that I was investigating the matter, he came to threatened me, saying, ‘I will make you so miserable that you would rather die.’ When our friends, Zhang Baohe and Zheng Jiankang, heard about this, they were also very angry at Li Jun.

“Though my wife was very weak, I still decide to go the Middle Asia as planned, for I had to make preparations before the mission group arrived there. So we departed at the beginning of May 1995 for Middle Asia. But we were stopped in Urumqi by Customs. So we had to return to Xian. I called Pastor Wang Yongxin and told him that we might not be able to get there. We did not suspect that threatening harassment was waiting for us. We tried to contact a sister in Christ after we returned home. Then we received a warning call directly from the police.

“On April 20, 1997, I was kidnapped on my way to work by a group of men. They first brought me to a room in the People’s Building in the former Xincheng Square. They revealed their identification as officers of the NSB (National Security Bureau) and then brought me home to search my apartment. I remembered the signature on the Xian National Security Bureau Detained Article List was Luo Xiaoming, who is an officer of the NSB. When I protested that they had violated my human rights, they laughed at me. They are familiar with Li Jun, because one of them revealed, ‘He is now working on a post doctorate in Huadong Normal University’ when I asked about Li Jun.”

He said that he was then stopped by another policeman. “I was released the next evening,” he continued in his letter to Bob Fu, “but the persecution did not cease. We lost our business, our flat, and had to wonder here and there like nomads. We moved to Changchun and served in a house church there, which was lead by Brother Pan Liangzuo. But after a short time, I felt as if someone was watching us.

“We left Changchun in the summer of 1998, and moved to Datong, then Linfen. At last we had to flee from China and came to seek refuge in Thailand, April 2004, our application Number NI19192 was rejected in January 2005, so we had to return to China. We fled from China again this past March after being driven out by the Shanghai government where we worked. We appealed to the UN Refugee Department this past April and they informed us that the application was not approved yet and asked us to wait.

“Pastor Fu, we hope you can inform the US government of our persecution in China, so we can go to America as refugees soon, because once we entering China, we will face great danger.”

A CAA spokesperson said, “After a thorough investigation, CAA have verified elder Lei’s claim that he and his family indeed had been persecuted for their independent Christian faith as House Church leaders in China. We believe Elder Lei Wensen, and his family members, will face harsh persecution from the Chinese government if they are forced to return to China from Thailand under current situation.

“We have been able to communicate with Rev. Larry Pan of Los Angeles who was the applicant, Mr. Lei Wensen’s pastor in China.”

In an open letter to UNHCR, Rev. Bob Fu asked the UN body to act quickly before Elder Lei’s situation gets worse. Fu wrote, “We urge you to reconsider your previous decision and grant Elder Lei and family members in Thailand the refugee status so that they can be protected by UNHCR before they resettle in the USA.”

FBI looks for man who held Clinton, Boxer fundraisers
The Baltimore Sun ^ | March 3, 2007 | ROBIN FIELDS AND CHUCK NEUBAUER

Posted on 03/03/2007 2:00:22 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

WASHINGTON // A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is being sought by the FBI on allegations that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton's political action committee and to Sen. Barbara Boxer's 2004 re-election campaign.

Authorities say Northridge, Calif., businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country shortly after being indicted on charges of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees. A business associate charged as Jinnah's co-conspirator has entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced in Los Angeles next week.

...The case has transformed Jinnah from a political point man on Pakistani issues, a man often photographed next to foreign dignitaries and U.S. leaders, into a fugitive with his mug shot on the FBI's most-wanted list.

Jinnah's profile peaked in 2004 and 2005 as he wooed members of Congress to join a caucus advancing Pakistani concerns and brought Clinton to speak to prominent Pakistani-Americans, lauding their homeland's contributions to the war on terrorism and calling relations with Pakistan beneficial to U.S. interests.

...Authorities say that from June 2004 to February 2005, Jinnah directly or indirectly solicited contributions from more than a dozen "conduits," reimbursing them with funds from his company, All American Distributing, a seller of cell phone service and accessories.

The scheme allowed Jinnah to get around limits then in effect on individual donors of $5,000 per year to PACs and $2,000 per election to candidates, as well as the ban on using corporate money for political donations.

...The indictment, handed down last May without a press release, mentions only the initials of the committees that received the illegal donations, referring to them as "HP" and "FB." However, the charging document filed against Jinnah's co-conspirator, Stuart Schoenburg, identifies one of the committees as HILLPAC, ..

French, British tourists kidnapped in remote northeastern Ethiopia

Published: 03.03.07, 11:49 / Israel News

Britain was sending a 10-person crisis team to Ethiopia on Saturday after at least a dozen Western tourists - including five Britons - were kidnapped in remote northeastern Ethiopia, a barren expanse of
volcanoes and ancient salt mines where bandits and rebels operate.

The tourists - between seven and 10 French in one group and five British citizens in another - were seized Thursday in Dalol, 800 kilometers (500 miles) northeast of Addis Ababa, according to a businessman and a tour operator who work in the area. They asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. (AP)
