SNIPPET: “In his October 3, 2008 Friday sermon at the Tehran University campus, Iranian Guardian Council secretary and interim Friday prayer leader Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said that Iran’s enemies had targeted its economy, and that the U.S.’s economic crisis was “divine punishment” that had made Iranians very happy.

Militants Kill Civilian in Eastern Afghanistan Fighting
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2008 – An Afghan civilian was killed and four were wounded this morning when militants attacked a village in eastern Afghanistan where coalition and Afghan troops were on patrol, military officials reported.
The firefight started when militants engaged the joint forces with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades in Matin, a village in the Pech district of Konar province, officials said.
While returning fire, Afghan soldiers also provided immediate medical care to the wounded and transported them to a medical facility for treatment, officials said. The body of the civilian was recovered and returned to his village, they said.
No servicemembers were wounded in the attack, and the incident is under investigation, they said.
The incident followed several days of fighting along the Pakistan border.
Coalition forces yesterday captured four insurgents during an operation targeting the Haqqani terrorist network in Khowst province, military officials said. The operation targeted a foreign terrorist in the Sabari district who is believed to coordinate and direct militant activities against local residents there, as well as Afghan and coalition forces, they said.
The suspect, who was detained, is believed to be in direct contact with other Haqqani sub-commanders, coordinating terrorist activities intended to destabilize the region, officials said. Coalition forces searched the compound, finding weapons and related items, which were destroyed to prevent future use.
In other news, coalition forces killed three militants Sept. 30 in the Arghandab district of Zabol province in southeast Afghanistan.
Coalition forces were conducting a patrol in a densely vegetated area when they were fired on by militants using small-arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire from a remote position. The troops responded with small-arms, heavy weapons and indirect fire, killing three militants.
No Afghan or coalition forces or civilian casualties were reported.

Coalition Captures Iranian-Backed Militia Suspects in Iraq
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2008 – Coalition forces yesterday captured five suspected Iranian-backed illegal militia members during an operation in Baghdad’s Rusafa neighborhood, military officials reported.
Based on intelligence information, coalition forces targeted a suspected senior leader believed to be involved in smuggling Iranian-supplied lethal aid into Iraq. He is believed to be a key facilitator in planning and conducting attacks on Iraqi and coalition forces, officials said.
Coalition forces detained the wanted man and four other suspects without incident, they said.
According to intelligence assessments, the group receives funding, training, weapons and direction from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, officials said. Through its militia proxies, the Quds Force is trying to destabilize the Iraqi government, officials said.
Also yesterday, coalition forces struck a blow to the criminal network known as Asaib Ahl al-Haq by capturing two suspects during an operation in the southern city of Amarah in Iraq’s Maysan province.
Acting on intelligence information, coalition forces targeted a suspected senior weapons smuggler believed to be responsible for militant operations against Iraqi and coalition forces. Forces detained the suspect and an associate.
In other operations, coalition forces today and yesterday captured a wanted man, detained 17 additional suspects and found enemy weapons stockpiles during operations to degrade the al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist network throughout the country, officials said.
— In Kirkuk yesterday, troops netted four suspects believed to be associated with a regional al-Qaida in Iraq leader.
— Near Beiji, about 100 miles south of Mosul, coalition forces captured a wanted man believed to be a local military leader for a terrorist group associated with al-Qaida in Iraq. Two additional suspects were detained during the operation.
— In Ash Shurah, about 25 miles south of Mosul, coalition forces detained three suspects believed to be connected to a wanted man who intelligence reports suggest is a direct conspirator with regional al-Qaida in Iraq leaders.
— In Sulaymen Bak, about 50 miles southeast of Kirkuk, forces targeted a suspected al-Qaida in Iraq military operator believed to be involved in roadside bomb attacks.
— Coalition forces in Fallujah, about 34 miles west of Baghdad, detained two suspects while targeting an al-Qaida in Iraq operator.
— Iraqi and coalition forces found nine mortar rounds and 35 pounds of TNT yesterday in Baghdad’s Kadhamiyah district of Baghdad.
— A tip from a concerned citizen yesterday led coalition soldiers in Baghdad’s Mansour district to a weapons stockpile that included two rocket-propelled grenade launchers, an RPG round, 11 anti-personnel rockets, five 60 mm mortar rounds, three 82 mm mortar rounds, nine grenades, a remote control device and about a half pound of C4 explosive, 150 machine-gun rounds, and a variety of small-arms rounds.
— A local sheik’s tip led coalition soldiers to the seizure of a 155 mm round and two 100 mm rounds west of Baghdad yesterday.
In another recent operation, Iraqi and coalition soldiers acting on a citizen’s tip captured two suspected criminals and seized a weapons cache Sept. 30 east of Lutifiyah, about 25 miles from Baghdad. The cache included a fragmentation grenade, an 82 mm mortar round, a 122 mm artillery round, a directional blast charge, an AK-47 assault rifle and 36 AK-47 rounds, and two spools of detonation cord.

“ALGERIAN NATIONAL ARRESTED IN INSURANCE FRAUD SCHEME TARGETING ALLSTATE”
PRESS RELEASE SNIPPET: “Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was joined today by Gregory Jones, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Atlanta office of the FBI, in announcing the arrest of an Algerian national who has been the subject of an international manhunt for nearly eight years.
ABDELHAMID SEDRATI, age 56, whose last known address was 712 8th Avenue in Albany, Georgia, was arrested last week, without incident, by FBI Special Agents in Atlanta, Georgia. SEDRATI had been the subject of an international manhunt coordinated by the Chicago FBI, since December of 2000, when he was charged by a Federal Grand Jury in Chicago with one count of Mail Fraud, which is a felony offense.
The indictment alleges that SEDRATI and his sister, YAMINA SEDRATI, conspired to defraud the Northbrook, Illinois based Allstate Life Insurance Company of over $400,000 by staging the death of ABDELHAMID SEDRATI. The grand jury charged that in 1991, SEDRATI purchased a life insurance policy from Allstate, naming his sister as beneficiary. The indictment alleges that the policy application contained several false statements, including SEDRATI’s annual income, net worth and the existence of other life insurance policies.
The indictment also alleges that in October of 1994, SEDRATI traveled to his native Algiers, where he faked his death. YAMINA SEDRATI is then alleged to have filed a death benefit claim with Allstate, including submission of a false death certificate. Based on these submissions, the Allstate Life Insurance Company paid YAMINA SEDRATI $426,105 in January of 1996.
The scheme was first discovered by Allstate Insurance Company, who referred the case to the Chicago FBI for additional investigation.
At the time of his arrest, SEDRATI was returning to the United States for unknown reasons and was traveling under an assumed name. The suspicions of U.S. Customs Inspectors were first raised when SEDRATI arrived at Hartsfield International Airport. His identity was subsequently confirmed by FBI Special Agents, who took SEDRATI into custody.
SEDRATI appeared in U.S. District Court in Atlanta following his arrest, at which time he was ordered held without bond, pending his return to Chicago. If convicted of the charge filed against him, SEDRATI faces a possible sentence of up to twenty (20) years incarceration.
YAMINA SEDRATI, who was charged as a co-conspirator in this scheme, remains a fugitive from justice and her whereabouts are unknown.
The public is reminded that an indictment is not evidence of guilt and that all defendants in a criminal case are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”
