:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
The Hunt for American al Qaeda

The United States is turning up the heat in the hunt for the California boy turned al Qaeda operative, Adam Gadahn, who has been charged with treason and is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan. If caught and convicted, Gadahn could face the death penalty.

The State Department along with the Department of Diplomatic Security announced the beginning of a publicity campaign in Afghanistan urging locals to provide any information on Gadahn's whereabouts, with a reward if the information leads to his capture.

Radio advertisements with information concerning the $1 million reward have already begun airing. Additionally, printed materials including matchbooks, handbills and posters will be distributed throughout the region in the coming weeks in attempts to elicit cooperation from members of the Afghan community.

Forces in Iraq Kill Eight, Detain 24

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, June 12, 2008 – Forces in Iraq killed eight enemy fighters, detained 24 terrorism suspects and found various weapons in recent operations, military officials said.

Coalition forces killed four men and detained nine suspected terrorists today after detainees in custody provided them with information regarding the location of an al-Qaida in Iraq suicide-bombing network.

Coalition forces positively identified the targeted individual, known for making suicide vests, and followed him into a remote area north of Baqouba, about 50 kilometers north of Baghdad. The area was believed to be a hideout used to house weapons, and the house was rigged with booby traps, officials said.

Coalition forces called for supporting aircraft to engage the area, which triggered several secondary explosions, indicating bomb materials and weapons on the ground. Four men were killed in the engagement.

Once the site was safe, the ground force moved in and discovered a tunnel system, fighting positions, weapons, military-style assault vests, and documents detailing terrorist operations.

Also today, coalition forces targeted another member of the Diyala suicide-bombing network who had fled to Tikrit, and they detained three suspected terrorists during the operation.

In Mosul, coalition forces captured a wanted man and one other suspect who are alleged associates of al-Qaida in Iraq senior leaders.

Yesterday in Abu Ghraib, coalition forces captured an alleged al-Qaida in Iraq propaganda cell leader. The man is believed to spearhead production and distribution of extremist propaganda in Baghdad and have ties to al-Qaida members outside Iraq. Coalition forces discovered large amounts of media materials in the targeted building and detained one additional suspect.

In other operations yesterday:

— Members of “Sons of Iraq,” a citizen security group, prevented an enemy car-bomb attack by killing four al-Qaida in Iraq members in Salahuddin province.

— Iraqi soldiers in Mosul captured two suspected members of al-Qaida in Iraq in an operation to capture suspected terrorists who allegedly are responsible for killing an Iraqi soldier and for car-bomb attacks in Mosul. Six additional suspects were detained during the operation, officials said.
— Iraqi special operations forces captured a criminal who reportedly is involved in the kidnapping and killing of Iraqi soldiers and the murders of Iraqi civilians in the Basra area.

— Iraqi soldiers seized three weapons caches in Baghdad’s Sadr City district. The cache contained homemade bombs and grenades. In other parts of Sadr City, soldiers discovered rockets, rocket-propelled grenades and launchers, rifles, various machine guns, and hundreds of AK-47 assault-rifle rounds.

— Iraqi national police, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers and local Iraqis all pitched in to help rid the streets in Baghdad of weapons, officials said. Among the weapons found were homemade bombs, Iraqi army body-armor vests, anti-aircraft projectiles, mortar rounds, a bag of unknown powder, rockets, and rocket-propelled grenades.

In June 10 operations, Iraqi and coalition forces captured three suspected terrorists allegedly responsible for bomb attacks. Four other suspects were detained. Enemy fighters engaged the Iraqi and coalition forces, and one man detonated a suicide bomb. Another man threw a grenade at coalition forces, who then fired back, killing him, military officials said.

“President Bush Participates in Joint Press Availability with Prime Minister Berlusconi of Italy”

Salla della Loggia
Villa Madama
Rome, Italy

SNIPPET: “Q Mr. President, also back home, the Supreme Court ruled that Guantanamo detainees have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts. Doesn’t this rebuke of your policy on detainees validate the criticism that Gitmo has gotten all over the world, especially here in Europe?

And for the Prime Minister, sir, who do you want to come see you as the next U.S. President?

PRESIDENT BUSH: First of all, it’s a Supreme Court decision; we’ll abide by the Court’s decision. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with it. It’s a deeply divided Court, and I strongly agree with those who dissented, and their dissent was based upon their serious concerns about U.S. national security.

Congress and the administration worked very carefully on a piece of legislation that set the appropriate procedures in place as to how to deal with the detainees.

And we’ll study this opinion, and we’ll do so with this in mind, to determine whether or not additional legislation might be appropriate, so that we can safely say, or truly say to the American people: We’re doing everything we can to protect you.”

Note: The following text is a quote:

http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2008/June/08-opa-532.html

Statement of Peter Carr, Deputy Director of Public Affairs, on the Supreme Court Decision in Boumediene V. Bush

“We are disappointed with the Court’s decision. The Court recognized that an adjustment to typical habeas proceedings may be appropriate, but required the hundreds of actions challenging the detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo to be moved to district court. The Department is reviewing the decision and its implications on the existing detainee litigation.

“While we disagree with the ruling, it is important to note that the Boumediene case did not concern military commission trials. Boumediene involved a challenge to the procedures that Congress and the Executive have established to permit enemy combatants at Guantanamo to challenge their detention during ongoing hostilities. Those enemy combatants who have been charged by a military commission with war crimes are afforded numerous additional protections in connection with those trials. Military commission trials will therefore continue to go forward. To the extent that Boumediene addresses matters that could affect the commission trials, those matters will initially be litigated before the military commissions themselves. In the event of a conviction, the accused will have the right to appeal to both military and federal appellate courts.”

QUOTE:

Addressing the court on the third day of his opening statement, Simon Denison, prosecuting, said Muhammad’s departure was so hasty he left behind a bedroom full of alleged evidence. Apart from some “dummy ammunition” for an AK47 assault rifle, there was a library of DVDs and CDs packed with jihadist propaganda.

Also recovered was an SAS handbook, maps of the London Underground, Jerusalem and Manhattan, a book entitled Suicide Bombings, an encryption code, photographs of a smiling Osama bin Laden, “extremely graphic” footage of the beheadings of American hostages in Iraq, and instructions on how to make arms and explosives.”

“Mohammed, PBUH, TM (I think another lawsuit is coming my way....Ezra Levant)
Ezra Levant . Com ^ | June 12, 2008 1:23 PM | Ezra Levant”
Posted on June 12, 2008 5:17:08 PM PDT by fanfan

SNIPPET: “I think another lawsuit is coming my way.

Today, my lawyer received this letter from a radical Muslim activist in Toronto. It’s a Certificate of Registration of Copyright. He claims to have copyrighted the image of Mohammed, PBUH. In other words, it’s now Mohammed, PBUH, TM.

I checked it out on Industry Canada’s copyright database and, sure enough, there it is: two weeks ago, Akhtar “Hector” Agha has indeed registered a “Restriction on Depiction of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)”. It’s right there on the government website.

I’m not sure, but I think “Hector” might be looking for a royalties payment for whenever I do something like post this picture.

At least I think that’s what he’s on about. But he has also addressed his letter to Stockwell Day, the Minister for Public Security. Frankly, when folks like Hector voluntarily report their activities to the minister in charge of fighting domestic jihad, that’s what we call a freebie.

Hector has also asked that his concerns be forwarded to the “RCMP unit looking after Human Rights issues”. Again, good thinking Hector. But the RCMP unit in charge of human rights issues is very, very busy right now looking into human rights issues.

But there is more to this document besides pure comedy. Look at the top right corner of the second page: it says OIC/Summit.”

I know, but I’m not allowed to speak my mind any more, if I don’t have $10,000 for a lawyer.

It’s coming there too.
