I’m glad the Saudis caught these guys. It’s always nice to hear about a large terrorist takedown.
Ditto that.
These are popular targets in the ME. I would send shivers down everyone's spine and acheive a sense of terror. Only target that I would place nearly as high would be the petrochemical industry.

Defense Department Takes Custody of al Qaeda Leader
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 27, 2007 – The Defense Department announced today that it has taken a senior al Qaeda operative into custody at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The detainee, Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, was transferred to Guantanamo this week from CIA custody and is now under the control of Joint Task Force Guantanamo, Bryan Whitman, a Defense Department spokesman, told reporters. Abd al-Hadi is considered a high-value detainee, like the group of 14 detainees who were transferred to Guantanamo from CIA custody in September, Whitman said.
At the time of his detention, Abd al-Hadi was one of al Qaeda’s highest-ranking and most experienced senior operatives, Whitman said. Abd al-Hadi was one of al Qaeda’s key paramilitary commanders in Afghanistan from the late 1990s, and from 2002 to 2004, was in charge of cross-border attacks in Afghanistan against coalition forces, he said. In recent years, Abd al-Hadi also directed plots to assassinate perceived opponents of al Qaeda, including Pakistani President Perez Musharaff and a United Nations official.
“What’s important here, I think, is that we’ve taken another bad individual that wants to do harm not only to coalition forces and the United States, but our allies around the world, off the streets, and is no longer able to plan, conduct and coordinate attacks,” Whitman said.
Abd al-Hadi was born in Mosul, Iraq, in 1961, and is a former member of the Iraqi military who spent more than 15 years in Afghanistan, according to information released by the Defense Department. Before Sept. 11, 2001, Abd al-Hadi was a member of al Qaeda’s ruling Shura council, a now-defunct advisory board to Osama bin Laden, as well as the group’s military committee.
Abd al-Hadi associated with leaders of other extremist groups allied with al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the Taliban, according to Defense Department information. Abd al-Hadi interacted was known and trusted by bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and met with al Qaeda members in Iran.
At the time of his capture, Abd al-Hadi was trying to return to Iraq to manage al Qaeda’s affairs and possibly focus on operations outside Iraq against Western targets, Whitman said. He would not discuss the details of Abd al-Hadi’s capture, as it occurred before he was in Defense Department custody.
Like all detainees who arrive at Guantanamo, Abd al-Hadi will undergo a period of in-processing and will undergo a combatant status review tribunal, which will determine his status as an enemy combatant, Whitman said. No date has been set for this tribunal, he said, but as in the cases of the other 14 high-value detainees, the Defense Department will release a redacted transcript after it takes place.
Abd al-Hadi’s transfer brings the number of detainees at Guantanamo Bay to about 385.

Coalition Forces Detain Seven Suspected Taliban, Kill Five
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 27, 2007 – Coalition forces detained seven suspected Taliban members and killed five armed militants in operations in Afghanistan today, military officials reported.
Coalition forces killed five armed militants in an early morning raid on a compound in the Qalat district of Zabul province today. Five others were subdued and taken into custody.
Credible information led the coalition to the compound suspected of sheltering local Taliban leadership connected to Mullah Dadullah Lang, officials said. The militants are suspected of smuggling weapons and planning attacks on coalition forces and peaceful Afghans in the area, officials added.
During the operation, armed militants attempted to engage the coalition forces with automatic weapons and were quickly killed. The compound was thoroughly searched, and forces discovered numerous AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades in the compound and in adjacent caves.
The weapons were destroyed in place.
“We will continue to work relentlessly to eliminate the source of terrorism,” said Army Maj. Christopher Belcher, coalition spokesman. “The Taliban are on the run.”
Elsewhere, two suspects were detained during an operation early this morning by Afghan and coalition forces in the Nangarhar province.
Credible evidence led coalition forces to the compound, suspected of harboring militants responsible for recent improvised explosive device activity in the Bati Kot area, officials said.
“These IED cells are a blight on Afghanistan,” Belcher said. “They kill indiscriminately and put peaceful Afghans at risk.”
During the operation, one suspect resisted and was subdued by coalition forces. No shots were fired and no one was seriously injured.

I wonder if I would continue to shop at malls, etc. if there were suicide bombings here, like there are in the ME.
My kids and I talk about this occasionally.

Coalition Forces Detain 13 Suspects; Detainee Dies in Camp Bucca
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 27, 2007 – In operations throughout Iraq today, coalition forces detained 13 suspected terrorists, military officials reported. Also, a detainee died yesterday at Camp Bucca, Iraq.
Nine suspected terrorists are in coalition forces custody today after raids to disrupt al Qaeda in Iraq operations around the country.
— Near Salman Pak, coalition forces detained a suspected terrorist known to associate with al Qaeda in Iraq and lead a group responsible for kidnapping Iraqis.
— Coalition forces detained five suspected terrorists in Mosul who are allegedly involved in a group responsible for making and using car bombs and attacks on the Iraqi army, Iraqi police and coalition forces.
— In Baghdad, coalition forces detained an individual suspected of facilitating the movement of foreign fighters and bomb-making materials.
— Two suspected terrorists were detained near Ramadi when coalition forces found them with weapons and materials used in making improvised explosive devices.
“Coalition forces are continuing to disrupt the networks that make and use deadly IEDs to harm Iraqis and those who are trying to build a stable Iraq,” said Army Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, Multinational Force Iraq spokesman.
In another operation, coalition forces detained four suspected terrorists today in Sadr City.
The individuals targeted during the raid are suspected members of a secret cell terrorist network known for facilitating the transport of weapons and explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, from Iran to Iraq, as well as bringing militants from Iraq to Iran for terrorist training, officials said.
Intelligence reports also indicate the secret cell has ties to a kidnapping network that conducts attacks within Iraq.
“Individuals coming into Iraq from other countries for the purpose of endangering Iraqi civilians and disrupting security won’t be tolerated,” Garver said. “We will continue to work diligently to rid Iraq of foreign terrorists trying to thwart the development of a stable and peaceful Iraq.”
In other news, a security detainee died yesterday at Camp Bucca, Iraq, from injuries suffered during an apparent assault by other detainees.
An investigation is pending to determine the cause of death, a standard procedure for detainees who die while in custody of the Multinational Force Iraq, officials said. The family will receive the remains upon completion of the investigation into his death.
More than 19,000 detainees are held in two MNF-I theater internment facilities in Iraq. In the past year, six detainees have died in MNF-I facilities as a result of detainee-on-detainee violence, officials said.

MOROCCO ARRESTS ANOTHER AL QAIDA BOMBER
CAIRO [MENL] — Morocco has arrested another Al Qaida suicide bomber.
Moroccan sources said the bomber was detained on late April 19 in Casablanca. The sources said the suspect, identified as Yusef Musaed, was connected to at least two suicide bombings on April 14 in the port city.
Musaed’s home in Casablanca’s Buskoura district was raided by authorities, but no explosives were found, the sources said. They said the suspect was also linked to bombings in the city on March 11 and April 10.
The sources said the commander of the Al Qaida network has been arrested and was cooperating with authorities. They said the commander informed authorities of the names of the Al Qaida operatives and where the bombs were produced.

“Theft, Fraud in Europe Fund Terrorist Group, Police Say”
by Sebastian Rotella, Los Angeles Times, 1 April 2007
Abstract:
Interconnected investigations are trying to prove that muggings in Switzerland, burglaries in Spain, and tax fraud in Italy helped fund bombings and ambushes by an extremist Islamic group in Algeria that is connected to Al-Qaeda. The cases explore the ground-level mechanics of terrorism financing, and raise the specter that logistics cells in Europe could transform into an advance guard for attacking the West. They also show the difficulties of prosecuting an offense on the blurry line between crime and extremism.

QUOTE:
Thought for the day:
Unlike the targets of counter-terrorism activities - a few of whom may, in fact, be innocent victims - each and every victim of terrorism is innocent. And while most targets of counter-terrorism activities will enjoy a degree of due process and will be given some opportunity to be judged upon the basis of evidence, for the victims of terrorism there is no court of appeal and certainly no justice. For the victims of terrorism there is only pain, suffering and death.
