ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Intelligence officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity, say nearly a dozen Iraqis fled military training facilities in the U.S., including a brigadier general who went to Canada with his family earlier this year.
Army officials yesterday confirmed that five Iraqi military personnel whom the Army had been training disappeared between 2005 and 2007. They did not know how many other Iraqis sponsored by the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy may have done the same.”

Al Qaeda has established a firm presence on anywhere between 5,600 and 17,000 Web sites, and could add as many as 9,000 more sites a year unless nations agree on ways to counter the terrorist organization.
Journalists in Al Qaeda Airlines hoax
Two journalists walked into a Romanian airport wearing Al Qaeda Airline uniforms and put fake bombs on planes. An investigation has been launched after the pair entered Baneasa Airport in Bucharest dressed in hats and overalls marked "Al Qaeda Airlines". Alexandru Cautis and Catalin Prisacaru, from the Academia Catavencu newspaper, drove into a supposedly secure staff car park unchallenged.
They put fake bombs on passenger planes before going to a section of the airport which is used by the military. They walked around a Hercules plane being prepared for take-off before leaving, again unchecked by anyone.
Guantanamo Bay 4 freed to come to UK despite US fears of terror risk
Government pressure has secured the release of four Guantanamo Bay prisoners who had British residency rights at the time of their detention, despite Pentagon concerns that they still pose a terrorist risk, it emerged last night. Three men are expected to be back in Britain before Christmas. Another detainee, Shaker Aamer — who the US Defence Department alleged recently had links to the “highest level” of al-Qaeda — will go home to Saudi Arabia.
