:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Ahmadinejad Vows News Soon on Atomic Work
-Full Story-

Iran's president promised on Sunday Iranians would soon hear more news about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, which the West believes is a covert effort to build atomic bombs despite Tehran's denials.

"The Iranian nation will soon hear fresh news about our country's nuclear transition," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.

He did not give details about any announcements or when the news would be released but Ahmadinejad is due to hold a news conference on Tuesday.

Statement by the President on North Korea Freedom Week

White House News

I send greetings to all those observing North Korea Freedom Week. Those living in North Korea regrettably know firsthand the meaning of deprivation of freedom. I have met in the Oval Office with some of the courageous few who have managed to escape from the country. I have heard firsthand accounts of their suffering in North Korea and of their dangerous journeys to freedom. And I have seen how they now live in freedom’s light. We will continue to strengthen our commitment to bring freedom to all repressed peoples. I believe the 21st century will be freedom’s century for all Koreans. One day every citizen of that peninsula will live in dignity, freedom, and prosperity at home and in peace with their neighbors abroad. Until that day comes, we will not rest in our efforts to support the North Korean people as they strive to achieve the rights and freedoms to which they are entitled as human beings.

Captured Al Qaeda Document Shows Bin Laden Deputy Aymen Al Zawahiri Visited Iraq.
Combating Terrorism Center at West Point ^ | April 29 2007 | jveritas

Posted on 04/29/2007 1:24:13 PM PDT by jveritas
Edited on 04/29/2007 2:09:18 PM PDT by Lead Moderator. [history]

Document http://www.ctc.usma.edu/aq/AFGP-2002-601693-Trans.pdf which is still up on the Harmony Data Base website is a captured Al Qaeda document in Afghanistan and shows without any doubt that Aymen Al Zawahiri who is the Bin Deputy and the so called “Al Qaeda Brain” had visited Iraq as well as he had visited Iran. The document does not indicate which year he did the visit but it is for sure after the year 1995 based on the context of the document. Other reporting from different sources said that there is an indication that Zawahiri visited Iraq in 1998, and this document confirms that he indeed visited Iraq. The document refers to him as Aymen but it is very clear he is Aymen Al Zawahiri because document mentioned that Aymen was the leader of Jihadists in Peshwar Pakistan and indeed Aymen Al Zahiri left Egypt in 1985 after his release from prison and went to Peshawar Pakistan to organize and lead some islamic terrorists there.

Saddam regime had established relations to Al Qaeda, and this is yet another important smoking gun about this relation. We have posted before on FR the Iraqi document that talked about a meeting between Bin Laden and the Iraqi Intelligence per Saddam authority where the meeting took place in Sudan in 1995. Only very few regimes had relation with Al Qaeda and Saddam regime was one of them. After 9/11 the President was absolutely right in removing this terrorist regime and the whole world is a better place without it.

This document is still up running on the harmony data base as you see in the link and it posted in both Original Arabic and its English translation. The Harmony Data Base list the captured AL Qaeda documents from Afghanistan published by “The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point” and it is different from the Docex/FMSO website of the Iraqi documents that was unfortunately shut last November.

I am very surprised that no one else in the Intelligence Community picked up on the content of this document that shows Ayam Al Zawahiri visit to Iraq. In fact the Senate Intelligence Committee per the influence of the democrats went all the way to deny that such a visit took place despite that they were reporting about it.

This is the SMOKING GUN.

Below are some excerpts form the document:

“…..Some of them went to Saddam; others went to Iran and so on…. When the rest knew that AYMEN is the leader, and at the same time he and the others knew of all the people that had been arrested during the past seven months and the government did not announce that until it gathered them and named the organization “Talae’ Al-Fath”… This is what happened on the outside of unbelievable events. AYMEN went to Iraq and Iran, and now he told Abu Mujahid Al-Filistini that he regretted writing “Al Hasad Al Mur” (Bitter Envy) and thinks that he rushed in….”

I just found this that give an absolute proof that Ayman refered to in the document is Ayman Al Zawahiri.

Among al-Zawahiri’s works is a scathing attack on the moderate philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood, titled Al Hasad al-Murr: al-Ikhwan al-Muslimoun fi Sittin Aman (The Bitter Harvest: The Muslim Brotherhood in Sixty Years). And that is from http://www.stratfor.com/products/wtr/read_article.php?selected=Terrorism%20Intelligence%20Report&id=239982

Therefore the document which says that “Ayman is the Author of AL Hasad Al Mur (The Bitter Harvest)” is for sure Aymen Al Zawahiri.

Admin: Is there a way you can include this in the body of the original thread to further proof that this man mentioned in the document is for sure Aymen Al Zawahiri. That is the SMOKING GUN DOCUMENT and if all possible to move it to the breaking news section. Thank you very much.

IRAN CREATES WOMEN IRGC FORCE

LONDON [MENL] — Iran has created a women’s insurgency force meant to help annex Iraq.

Iranian opposition sources said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has established a female unit for operations in Iraq. The sources said IRGC’s Quds Force has been training women for the Bader Brigade in Iraq to infiltrate the Baghdad government.

Membership in the women’s unit has been limited to Shi’ites, who would conduct special operations in Iraq, the sources said. They said IRGC sought to establish Shi’ite women sleeper cells within the Iraqi government and security forces.

“The unit would work toward the ultimate goal of uniting Iran and Iraq,” an opposition source said.

“CORRECTION: No Believers Killed in Slum Bulldozing”

From Gospel for Asia
For Immediate Release

GUJURAT (ANS) — No one was killed when a local government bulldozed a slum in India’s Gujarat state on March 3.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Gospel for Asia had reported that a Christian man was killed when he tried to stop the demolition of his hut. Further investigation of the story revealed that the original report was in error, and that while it was true that the slum had been demolished, the only fatalities were among some sheep.”

“Men convicted over UK bomb plot”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The bomb ingredients were found at a self-storage unit in west London
Five men have been convicted of an al-Qaeda-linked bomb plot in Britain which could have killed hundreds.

Jurors in the massive year-long Old Bailey trial, heard of plans to target a shopping centre, nightclub and the gas network with a fertiliser bomb.

Police smashed the plot in 2004 after MI5 had watched an Islamist extremist network with links across the world.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Old Bailey heard the defendants had had at least two fellow conspirators.

One of them, an American called Mohammed Junaid Babar, admitted his role in the plot after being arrested by the FBI and became a vital prosecution witness.

The other was Mohammed Momin Khawaja, awaiting trial in Canada.”

Nearly 100 Detained in Iraq; Weapons Caches Found, Destroyed

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, April 30, 2007 – Coalition forces nabbed about 94 suspects and discovered several weapons caches during raids across Iraq in the past three days.

Coalition forces detained 11 suspected al Qaeda in Iraq members today, nabbing 10 suspects in Samarra and another in Baghdad. Intelligence reports indicate the suspect detained in the Iraqi capital was part of a local operation to acquire bomb-making materials, military officials said.

“Almost every day, … al Qaeda in Iraq uses explosives to kill and maim innocent Iraqis and the security forces striving to protect them,” said Army Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman. “Removing these explosives and the terrorists who use them is a top priority.”

Army soldiers attached to the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment “Polar Bears,” and the 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment “Golden Dragons” of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, discovered two improvised explosive devices and a weapons cache southwest of Baghdad today.

The first IED was discovered by 2-69 Armor soldiers southwest of Yusufiyah at 9:35 a.m.. While conducting a dismounted patrol, soldiers of Company D, 4-31 Infantry, discovered another IED near Rushdi Mullah at 10:05 a.m.

In another operation, the Golden Dragons found a weapons cache near Rushdi Mullah that contained three rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, a bag filled with unknown types of explosives, three bags of crystalline powder, and three large blasting caps. An explosive ordnance team destroyed the cache and IEDs during a controlled detonation.

During a raid in Basra today, Iraqi special operations Forces detained Sayyid Sallih al-Jezzaani, the alleged leader of a rogue Jaysh al-Madhi militia element. Military officials said he is linked to death squad activities and attacks against coalition forces in the region.

Jezzaani is also responsible for funding and arming insurgents and assisting in recruiting new militia members. He is also connected to the February murder of two Iraqi interpreters who worked with coalition forces.

As Iraqi and coalition forces arrived in the district of Abilla in Basra, enemy forces fired rocket-propelled grenades and detonated improvised explosive devices on the assault force. No fire was returned as the assault force proceeded to their objective.

Iraqi special operations forces with coalition advisors found Jezzaani equipped with body armor and a weapon; he offered no resistance while being captured. Seven other suspicious individuals were also detained during the operation. No Iraqi or coalition forces were injured during this operation.

In a massive synchronized effort yesterday, coalition forces captured 72 suspected terrorists and discovered bomb-making materials during overnight operations targeting the al Qaeda in Iraq network. Troops raided targets in Anbar and Salah ad Din provinces, and operations in Samarra alone yielded 36 individuals with alleged ties to al Qaeda terrorists.

Near Karmah, intelligence reports led coalition forces to 20 5-gallon drums of nitric acid and other bomb-making materials, military officials said.

“Coalition operations like these continue to chip away at the al Qaeda in Iraq network, and we will continue to target them as long as they continue to injure and kill the innocent people of Iraq,” Garver said.

Iraq security forces with support from 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division soldiers detained several individuals during an operation in the Kadamiyah area yesterday targeting several high-value individuals. The detainees were turned over to the Iraqi security forces.

In other news from Iraq, an explosion rocked the Hiyyaniyah district of Basra yesterday around 10:20 p.m., killing six civilians and wounding several others. Coalition forces said the explosion is likely to have been an accidental detonation during movement and transportation of explosives in an automobile. The incident is under investigation.

The al Hiyyaniyah district is known to be under the influence of the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, which intimidates local people to further its own agenda, military officials said. No coalition forces were injured during the explosion.

Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers foiled an insurgent plot to target an all-girls’ school north of Baghdad with numerous improvised explosive devices April 28.

Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, discovered a command wire leading from the school’s outer perimeter to one of the rooms at the Huda Girls’ School, in Tarmiyah, Iraq. Inside the room, the cavalry troops discovered five artillery shell explosives. Insurgents had also buried two large explosive-filled propane tanks under the school’s floor and placed numerous projectiles underneath electrical conduits in front of each classroom.

The unit believes al Qaeda extremists operating in the area are responsible for the placing the explosives in an attempt to hinder the progress the local government has made to improve citizens’ lives. The reconstructed school, a project led by the local Tarmiyah government, was scheduled to open in the coming weeks. This is the second time this month explosives have been found in the facility.

“This is a testimony of how little the al Qaeda of Iraq truly care about the citizens of Iraq,” said Army Lt. Col. Scott Efflandt, commander of 2-8th Cavalry.

An explosive ordnance disposal team transported all of the explosive rounds from the school for disposal.

(Information compiled from Multinational Force Iraq and Multinational Corps Iraq news releases.)
