FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
29 June 2005
Statement by Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Porter J. Goss
on the
WMD Commission Recommendations
At CIA, we are improving how we do our business—operationally, analytically, and technically. The responsibilities assigned to CIA underscore the critical nature of our work and the trust and confidence placed in this Agency. It also reaffirms our role as the lead for human intelligence.
In the 1990s, we suffered deep cuts in intelligence funding and investment. Now, we are rebuilding a system that includes more comprehensive global collection and more rigorous analysis. This involves both quality and quantity. We are not just bringing more people into the Agency, but the right people—those with substantive skills, language, and cultural familiarity of targets critical to America's security.
The CIA provides the United States with a unique set of capabilities and options. Further enhancing our role in defeating terrorism and the other threats confronting our country today and tomorrow is critical.

Afghanistan - Taliban terrorists kill Afghan 10 police officers
AFP via Babelfish translation | July 10, 2005
Posted on 07/09/2005 10:17:16 PM PDT by HAL9000
Afghanistan: 10 killed police officers, including 6 decapitated by supposed talibans
KANDAHAR (Afghanistan) - Six Afghan police officers were found decapitated and four others were killed Saturday by rebels talibans supposed after a confrontation in the south of Afghanistan, announced to Sunday the chief of the police force of the borders of the district of Dishu, Mohammed Rasoul.
Sixteen police officers had been reported missing for Saturday morning after the attack from their convoy, which carried out a patrol of routine, by rebels supposed talibans, indicated to AFP Mr. Rasoul.
If six of them were found alive, "four others were killed at the time of the engagements, and six others were found later decapitated and with their head posed on their chest", in this area where the antigovernment rebellion (talibans and other movements) is active, it added.
Terrorists' aim is to end western civilisation, says ex-Mossad head
RUPERT STEINER
THE former head of Mossad, the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service, says we are in the throes of a new world war where the objective of the terrorist is not regime change or territorial gains but despatching western civilisation into history.
He said the 'great wars' of the 20th century lasted less than this war, and the end was nowhere in sight.
"The aim of the enemy is not to defeat western civilisation but to destroy its sources of power and existence, and to render it a relic of the past.
"It does not seek a territorial victory or a regime change; it wants to turn western civilisation into history and will stop at nothing less than that.
"It will show no mercy or compassion and no appreciation for these noble values when practised by us."

"Dutchman suspected of aiding Saddam in war crimes is arrested"

Posted on 12/07/2004 9:34:36 PM PST by politicalvanguard.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A MAN suspected of helping former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein commit war crimes and genocide by supplying him with materials for chemical weapons, has been arrested by the Netherlands authorities.
Prosecutors said the 62-year-old man, identified as Frans van Anraat by Dutch television, was arrested at his Amsterdam home on Monday as he prepared to leave the Netherlands.
"According to the United Nations, the Dutchman is one of the most important middlemen in Iraq’s acquisition of chemical material," Dutch prosecutors said in a statement. "The man is suspected of supplying thousands of tonnes of raw materials for chemical weapons between 1984 and 1988."
The chemicals could be used to produce mustard and nerve gasses. Iraq used the weapons in the 1980-1988 war against Iran and against the Kurdish population in northern Iraq, including in the notorious attack on the town of Halabja in 1988, in which an estimated 5,000 people were killed, prosecutors said."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A freight train derailed in eastern Turkey after suspected Kurdish rebels detonated a remote-controlled bomb on the tracks, officials said.
There were no casualties in yesterday's train blast, the third in less than a week.
The attack occurred just six days after two similar remote-control attacks derailed two trains in south-east Turkey, killing six security guards. Officials said the attackers used C-4 plastic explosives in those attacks.
Yesterday's attack occurred near the small town of Altunkent, in Erzincan province. The train was travelling to nearby Erzurum province.
Erzurum Governor Celalettin Guvenc said the train's seven cars came off the rails and overturned."

NEPAL: CHRISTIANITY GROWING IN SPITE OF A NATION IN TURMOIL
By M.K. Henderson
Special to ASSIST News Service
KATHMANDU, NEPAL (ANS) -- The Church in Nepal is strong, in spite of persecution from Communist Maoists. Enduring severe torture for the cause of Christ the Nepali church calls out for prayer support. Recently M.K. Henderson visited with several pastors concerning the political turmoil that is increasing in Nepal. (Pictured: Nepali Christians Worship Boldly in Spite of Persecution).
Nepal, known as the “Hindu Kingdom”, nestled between China on the north and India on the South has been in turmoil since 1996. That is when the Communist (Maoists) rebels began their attempt to overtake the monarchy/democratic government and instill Communist rule.
The Maoist party has instituted and enforced bandhs; (forced shutdowns) blocked major highways, slowed down and sometimes cut off the supply of basics such as oil and food coming into cities. Forcing loyalty through fear by raping and torturing people in the villages, and bombing major highways, the insurgents have murdered 12,000 people since 2001.
On February 1st, King Gyanendra took full control of the alleged corrupt government ousting Prime Minister, Deuba and turning the government into a dictatorship, leaving democracy suspended. On May 27th, speaking at Tribhuvan University, King Gyanendra called for all parties to safeguard democracy. The Royal Nepal Army is aggressively fighting the Maoists. India and the US have attempted to show their support for democracy by providing arms.
Some churches in the Kathmandu Valley have been closed by the Maoists, yet in spite of severe persecution, according to Pastor Gurung, the Nepalese Christians are growing stronger in their faith. (Pictured: Nepali Churches Display Exuberant, Joyful worship in Kathmandu).
In a video interview with me, Pastor Gurung said, “In some areas of the countryside, Maoists forced them (pastors) to close down the church services, demanded money. They thought that the Christians received funds from outside the country--that was the allegations on the believers. Pray for the believers that God would continue to multiply our numbers.”
He went on to say: “In spite of all this...the political situation, the churches are growing because people are seeking, peace, seeking security, seeking love. Because of the political situation--this Maoist infiltration, one of our churches in a remote place, the pastor was forced to leave that church and was taken to their camp, beaten severely and asked for 10,000 rupees, he didn't have----was over there eighteen days---then gave them 4,000 rupees. Somehow he escaped and came to one of our cities and his life was saved.”
“Some of the churches are prohibited from having a church meeting---a service on Saturdays. They (Maoists) say that this is American Imperialism--so it must stop and we cannot gather people, if you want to worship, stay in your homes, but don't gather people. You have to move from here. Because of.....the threats of the Maoists...... churches are closed. People are finding it difficult to serve the Lord, to worship God together. They are in their homes alone (because) in the remote places the churches are closed down.”
When asked if the people’s faith is strong, he said, “Yes, in spite of all of these problems and difficulties, they are on their knees praying to the Lord that one day these people (Maoists) will also kneel down before the Lord and worship him. That is how we are praying and believing in the Lord”
In spite of persecution the Nepali church continues to grow rapidly in numbers. In the 1960s there were only about 50 Christians in Nepal. Today that number is estimated to be well over 500,000.
Parajule, a former Hindu priest was forced to leave home after his conversion at the age of 15 years old. Thus began the wonderful but difficult course of his life.
When asked how his family reacted to his conversion and his leaving the priesthood, he said, “When I accepted the Lord in my life as my savior, they told me you are not ever allowed to be in our home as our home is holy......and you've already accepted this religion (Christianity) for low caste people.”
“When the gospel came into Nepal, most went to low caste people because (although they were Hindus) were not allowed into the temples. My older brothers were not allowed to meet me there. They rejected me so I had to come to Kathmandu.”
He said it was difficult when he first arrived in the city because he didn’t know anyone there and he felt that he was in total darkness. “I prayed for God to be with me--through His grace, I found a pastor who helped me.
“When I became a Christian---was baptized--I prayed to the Lord. What must I do? The Lord gave me a vision and put a burden in my heart for the street children since 1980--until today I have been working with the street children. We have a drop in center for those children from different parts of Nepal, staying on the streets begging for money from tourists. (Many had been forced into sex tourism) I am helping them to learn to read and write and with medical problems.
Today Parajule operates the Morning Star Children's Charity, a home for street children in Nepal. The home is bright and cheery and the children are well cared for here.
Nepalese Christians ask that believers around the world continue praying for them and their nation during this difficult season of unrest.
