Syria facilities arms transfers to Hizbullah
Middle East Newsline ^ | 2005 Aug 2
Posted on 08/01/2005 10:08:26 PM PDT by Wiz
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Syria continues to facilitate the transfer of Iranian weapons to Hizbullah in Lebanon.
U.S. officials said that within days of Syria's military withdrawal from Lebanon in late April an Iranian shipment of munitions, mortars and anti-tank rockets reached Lebanon. The officials said the shipment was flown by air to Damascus International Airport and taken by truck to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
"Syria continues to be a foremost supporter and weapons supplier of Hizbullah, a terrorist group active in Lebanon, and throughout the world, that has been targeting and killing Americans and many others since the early 1980s," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairman of the House subcommittee on the Middle East and Central Asia, said.

A British citizen named Haroon Rashid Aswat, living in Lusaka, Zambia is wanted for
questioning in relation to the 7/7 London bomb attacks.
Haroon Rashid Aswat comes from the same town in West Yorkshire, Dewsbury, where three
of the alleged bombers lived. "He is suspected of visiting the bombers in the weeks before
the attacks." (New Republic, 8 August 2005).
"Scotland Yard declined to shed any light on claims Mr Aswat was the possible
mastermind of the July 7 attacks."
Haroon Rachid Aswat is said to have played a central role in the London attacks:
"Cell phone records show around 20 calls between him and the 7/7 gang,
leading right up to those attacks, which were exactly three weeks ago." (Fox
News, 28 July 2005)
Links to British Intelligence?
The same source (Fox News) which presents Aswat as the "mastermind", also points
to Aswat's relationship to British and US intelligence, through a British based Islamic
organization Al-Muhajiroun.
In an interview with Fox News (29 July 2005), intelligence expert John Loftus revealed that
Haroon Rashid Aswat had connections to the British Secret Service MI-6 (emphasis
added): "the entire British police are out chasing him, and one wing of the British
government, MI-6 or the British Secret Service, has been hiding him... "
The Loftus interview suggests that the suspect was being used either as an informer or a
"double agent":
MIKE JERRICK [FOX NEWS]: John Loftus is a terrorism expert and a former
prosecutor for the Justice Department. John, good to see you again. So real
quickly here, have you heard anything about this Osman Hussain who was just
picked up in Rome? You know that name at all?
JOHN LOFTUS: Yeah, all these guys should be going back to an
organization called Al-Muhajiroun, which means The Emigrants. It was
the recruiting arm of Al-Qaeda in London; they specialized in recruiting kids
whose families had emigrated to Britain but who had British passports. And
they would use them for terrorist work.
JERRICK: So a couple of them now have Somali connections?
LOFTUS: Yeah, it was not unusual. Somalia, Eritrea, the first group of course
were primarily Pakistani. But what they had in common was they were
all emigrant groups in Britain, recruited by this Al-Muhajiroun group.
They were headed by the, Captain Hook, the imam in London the Finsbury
Mosque, without the arm. He was the head of that organization. Now his
assistant was a guy named Aswat, Haroon Rashid Aswat.
JERRICK: Aswat, who they picked up.
LOFTUS: Right, Aswat is believed to be the mastermind of all the
bombings in London.
JERRICK: On 7/7 and 7/21, this is the guy we think.
LOFTUS: This is the guy, and what's really embarrassing is that the entire
British police are out chasing him, and one wing of the British
government, MI6 or the British Secret Service, has been hiding him. And
this has been a real source of contention between the CIA, the Justice
Department, and Britain.
JERRICK: MI6 has been hiding him. Are you saying that he has been
working for them?
LOFTUS: Oh I'm not saying it. This is what the Muslim sheik said in an
interview in a British newspaper back in 2001.
JERRICK: So he's a double agent, or was?
LOFTUS: He's a double agent.
JERRICK: So he's working for the Brits to try to give them information
about Al-Qaeda, but in reality he's still an Al-Qaeda operative.
LOFTUS: Yeah. The CIA and the Israelis all accused MI 6 of letting all
these terrorists live in London not because they're getting Al-Qaeda
information, but for appeasement. It was one of those you leave us alone, we
leave you alone kind of things.
JERRICK: Well we left him alone too long then.
LOFTUS: Absolutely. Now we knew about this guy Aswat. Back in 1999 he
came to America. The Justice Department wanted to indict him in
Seattle because him and his buddy were trying to set up a terrorist
training school in Oregon.
JERRICK: So they indicted his buddy, right? But why didn't they indict him?
LOFTUS: Well it comes out, we've just learned that the headquarters of the
US Justice Department ordered the Seattle prosecutors not to touch
Aswat.
JERRICK: Hello? Now hold on, why?
LOFTUS: Well, apparently Aswat was working for British intelligence. Now
Aswat's boss, the one-armed Captain Hook, he gets indicted two years later.
So the guy above him and below him get indicted, but not Aswat. Now there's
a split of opinion within US intelligence. Some people say that the British
intelligence fibbed to us. They told us that Aswat was dead, and that's why
the New York group dropped the case. That's not what most of the Justice
Department thinks. They think that it was just again covering up for this
very publicly affiliated guy with Al-Muhajiroun. He was a British
intelligence plant. So all of a sudden he disappears. He's in South Africa. We
think he's dead; we don't know he's down there. Last month the South African
Secret Service come across the guy. He's alive.
JERRICK: Yeah, now the CIA says, oh he's alive. Our CIA says OK let's
arrest him. But the Brits say no again?
LOTFUS: The Brits say no. Now at this point, two weeks ago, the Brits
know that the CIA wants to get a hold of Haroon. So what happens? He
takes off again, goes right to London. He isn't arrested when he lands,
he isn't arrested when he leaves.
JERRICK: Even though he's on a watch list.
LOFTUS: He's on the watch list.The only reason he could get away with
that was if he was working for British intelligence. He was a wanted man.
JERRICK: And then takes off the day before the bombings, I understand it--
LOFTUS: And goes to Pakistan.
JERRICK: And Pakistan, they jail him.
LOFTUS: The Pakistanis arrest him. They jail him. He's released within 24
hours. Back to Southern Africa, goes to Zimbabwe and is arrested in Zambia.
Now the US--
JERRICK: Trying to get across the--
LOFTUS: --we're trying to get our hands on this guy.
JERRICK: John, hang around. I have so many questions now.
LOFTUS: Oh, this is a bad one....
(Fox News, 29 July 2005, emphasis added)
The interview conveys the impression that there were "disagreements" between American,
British and Israeli intelligence officials on how to handle the matter. It also suggests that
"the Brits" might have misled their US intelligence counterpart.
More substantively, what this interview reveals is something which news coverage on the
London 7/7 attacks has carefully ignored, namely the longstanding relationship of Western
intelligence agencies to a number of Islamic organizations. In this specific case we are
dealing with a British based organization Al-Muhajiroun.
Amply confirmed by official documents, Al Qaeda was a creation of the US intelligence
apparatus. Both the CIA and its British counterpart MI-6 are known to have links to Al
Qaeda operatives.
The Kosovo Connection
In the Balkans in the 1990s, both US, British and German intelligence (BND) were
involved in training the Kosocvo Liberation Army (KLA), which was also being supported by
Al Qaeda.
Mujahideen mercenaries from the Middle East and Central Asia were recruited to fight in
the ranks of the KLA in 1998-99, largely supporting NATO's war effort.
According to a report published in 1999, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) had
approached MI-6 to arrange a training program for the KLA:
"MI-6 then sub-contracted the operation to two British security companies,
who in turn approached a number of former members of the (22 SAS) regiment.
Lists were then drawn up of weapons and equipment needed by the KLA."
While these covert operations were continuing, serving members of 22 SAS
Regiment, mostly from the unit's D Squadron, were first deployed in Kosovo
before the beginning of the bombing campaign in March [1999].(The
Scotsman, Edinburgh, 29 August 1999).
While British SAS Special Forces in bases in Northern Albania were training the KLA, military
instructors from Turkey and Afghanistan, financed by the "Islamic jihad", were collaborating
in training the KLA in guerrilla and diversion tactics .("Kosovo in
Crisis", http://www.truthinmedia.org/, 2 April 1999)."Bin Laden had visited Albania himself.
He was one of several fundamentalist groups that had sent units to fight in Kosovo.… Bin
Laden is believed to have established an operation in Albania in 1994. ( Sunday Times, 29
Nov 1998)
Haroon Rachid Aswat belonged to Al Muhajiroun, which was involved in the recruitment of
Mujahideen in Britain. The latter were also sent to Kosovo to fight in the KLA in support of
the NATO-US led war: .
LOFTUS: .....But the US was used by Al-Muhajiroun for training of people
to send to Kosovo. What ties all these cells together was, back in the
late 1990s, the leaders all worked for British intelligence in Kosovo.
Believe it or not, British intelligence actually hired some Al-Qaeda guys
to help defend the Muslim rights in Albania and in Kosovo. That's when
Al-Muhajiroun got started.
IJAZ: Which is by the way why we know so much about them right now.
LOFTUS: Yes, I'm afraid so. The CIA was funding the operation to defend the
Muslims, British intelligence was doing the hiring and recruiting. Now we have a
lot of detail on this because Captain Hook, the head of Al-Muhajiroun, he
sidekick was Bakri Mohammed, another cleric. And back on October 16, 2001,
he gave a detailed interview with al-Sharq al-Aswat, an Arabic
newspaper in London, describing the relationship between British
intelligence and the operations in Kosovo and Al-Muhajiroun. So that's
how we get all these guys connected. It started in Kosovo, Haroon was
31 years old, he came on about 1995.
The Pakistan Connection
In the last couple of weeks, the London 7/7 police investigation has focussed on
a "Pakistani connection": the alleged British bombers are said to have visited
Pakistan. While in Pakistan, they allegedly had contacts with several Islamic organizations,
including a madrassa (coranic school) controlled by Islamic fundamentalists. They
allegedly also had contacts with the two main Kashmir rebel groups Jaish-e-Mohammed
and Lashkar-e-Toiba. Two of the British bombers, Khan and Tanweer, were allegedly
"associated with Jaish -e-Mohammed or one of its splinter groups" (India Today, 1 August
2005):
"In Pakistan, [British] police are painstakingly analyzing the mobile phone
records of the two 7/7 suspects who visited the country. While officials stress
that it is a tedious process, it has already yielded the name of at least one
significant suspect: Masoud Azhar, leader of the Jaish -e-Mohammed (Army of
Mohammed). (Christian Science Monitor, 1 August, 2005).
Both Jaish and Lashkar are said to have links to Al Qaeda.
The Role Of Pakistan's Military Intelligence
In their endeavours to uncover these various links to Pakistan based terrorist
organizations, British police investigators
sought the collaboration of Pakistan's Military
Intelligence (ISI).
While collaborating in the British investigation, Pakistan's
Military Intelligence is known to have actively supported
and financed the Kasmir rebel groups, which allegedly
had contacts with the London bombers.
The ISI was instrumental in the creation of the militant
Jammu and Kashmir Hizbul Mujahideen (JKHM) in the
late 1980s. (See K. Subrahmanyam, "Pakistan is Pursuing Asian
Goals", India Abroad, 3 November 1995). It has also supported
the other two main Pakistan-based Kashmir rebel
groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba, (Army of the Pure) and
Jaish-e-Muhammad (Army of Mohammed), which
claimed responsibility for the attacks on the Indian
parliament in October 2001.
See Council on Foreign Relations, "Terrorism: Questions and Answers,
Harakat ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad",
http://www.terrorismanswers.com/groups/harakat2.html ,
Washington 2002.)
Moreover, according to intelligence sources and the FBI,
the ISI also provided support to the alleged 9/11
hijackers.
(See http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO111A.html )
Concluding remarks
The Fox News report raises some very serious
considerations.
Haroon Rachid Aswat was reportedly in London for two
weeks before the July 7 attacks, "fleeing just before the
explosions".
If Haroon Rashid Aswat had been working for MI-6, as
suggested by intelligence analyst John Loftus, his
movements and whereabouts, including his contacts with
the alleged Yorkshire bombers, might have been known
to British intelligence.
The nature of Haroon Rachid Aswat's links to Western
intelligence agencies inevitably has a bearing on the
conduct of the police investigation.
The broader role of Al-Muhajiroun since its creation in
the 1990s, as well as its alleged links to MI-6 requires
careful review.
Pakistan's ISI should not, for obvious reasons, be
involved in the police investigation. In fact, Pakistan's ISI
should be the object of the investigation in view of its
documented links to the terror network, including Al
Qaeda.
More generally, the intelligence agencies including M-I6
should not be involved in the police investigation.
An independent public inquiry should be launched as
demanded by the Conservative opposition.

IRAN: LOVERS OF MARTYRDOM GARRISON - RECRUITING NOW
- initiated and sanctioned at the highest levels.
By Elizabeth Kendal
World Evangelical Alliance Religious Liberty Commission (WEA RLC)
Special to ASSIST News Service
AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Iran Focus reports from Tehran, "A military garrison has been opened in Iran to recruit and train volunteers for 'martyrdom-seeking operations', according to the garrison's commander, Mohammad-Reza Jaafari. (Link 1)
"Jaafari, a senior officer in the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), told a hard-line weekly close to Iran's ultra-conservative President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the new 'Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison' (Gharargahe Asheghane Shahadat, in Persian) would recruit individuals willing to carry out suicide operations against Western targets.
"The full text of the original interview in Persian can be seen on the weekly's website at www.partosokhan.ir/283/page08.pdf." According to Iran Focus the interview is titled "Commander of Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison: Let America and Israel know, each of our suicide volunteers equals a nuclear bomb".
Jaafari told the weekly Parto-Sokhan, "The Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison has been activated and we will form a Martyrdom-seeking Division for each province in the country, organised in brigades, battalions and companies to defend Islam."
According to Iran Focus, Parto-Sokhan is published in the Shiite holy city of Qom by the Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute, whose chairman, hard-line cleric Ayatollah Mohammad-Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, is regarded as the ideological mentor of President-elect Ahmadinejad.
Jaafari also said the martyrdom force was being implemented on the basis of instructions from the Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Armed Forces.
Iran Focus quotes Jaafari as saying, "In Tehran alone, there will be four martyrdom-seeking divisions", adding that "we are currently in the process of recruitment and organisation and soon volunteers will receive training in accordance to their assigned missions". Jaafari boasted that the 'Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison' had set up branches all over Iran and was presently working to convince youths to enlist.
Jaafari also said that the Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison would "spot martyrdom-seeking individuals in society and then recruit and organise them, so that, God willing, at the right moment when the Commander-in-Chief of the country's armed forces [Ayatollah Khamenei] gives the order, they would be able to enter the scene and carry out their missions".
This statement forces the question, what do "martyrdom-seeking individuals" look or act like? The strategy sounds reminiscent of various Palestinian terror groups, who don't just limit their recruitment to radicalised, militant Islamists who crave the glory of a martyr's death, but also seek out depressed and compromised youths and offer them the opportunity to escape their misery and redeem their honour through martyrdom for Allah. Considering the extent of Iran's social problems, with unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction and prostitution being rife amongst youth, this would not be too difficult.
Jaafari also said, "The Imam [Khomeini] said years ago that Israel must be wiped off the face of the Earth, but so far practical steps have not been taken to achieve this. Our garrison must spot, recruit, organise and train martyrdom-seeking persons to be able to materialise this objective."
According to Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Al-Arabiya TV broadcast on 2 July the news that Iran had already recruited some 40,000 volunteers who were ready to martyr themselves for the liberation of Islamic lands. (Link 2)
As part of the recruitment drive, Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison's has a regular advertisment published in Parto Sokhan. The advertisment and application form, with English translation, can be found at Link 3.
AHMADINEJAD - MARTYRDOM AS MOST DIVINE "ARTMANSHIP"
On Monday 25 July, President Ahmadinejad met with a group of Iranian cinematographers. (Using the relative freedom they had under former President Khatami, Iran's cinematographers gained a reputation for cinematic brilliance and have been praised by critics worldwide.)
Ahmadinejad reminded the artists that "the Islamic Revolution is by nature a cultural revolution". Ahmadinejad said that Iranian and Islamic cultures are totally inseparable from one another, praising the Islamic Republic of Iran for its rich cultural background.
Ahmadinejad's assertion that Iranian and Islamic cultures are totally inseparable is of course totally false. Iran's rich cultural heritage does not result from Islam, but from the incredible intellectual and artistic richness of Persian culture. Persian culture and civilisation brought richness to Islam. Islam needs Persians far more than Persians need Islam. Iranian culture was far richer before the Islamic Revolution, which was indeed a cultural revolution, with tragic consequences for thinkers and artists.
It is most interesting however, that in concluding his message to the cinematographers, President Ahmadinejad turned his focus to what he referred to as Iran's "Culture of Sacred Defense". The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quotes Ahmadinejad as saying that this "Culture of Sacred Defense" is not the culture of war, but the culture of "living more appropriately and dying the best possible death". IRNA reports, "He [Ahmadinejad] said that martyrdom is the 'most gracious, most divine and longest lasting kind of artmanship'." (Link 4)

NewKerala, India: Mujahideen threaten Jihad against Pakistan over Wana operations
Home > News > World News Posted on 01 Aug 2005 # ANI
Mujahideen threaten Jihad against Pakistan over Wana operations
Islamabad: A jihadi commander has warned the Pakistan government that the ‘mujahideen’ will wage a war against security forces in Wana if the federal government does not stop
the killing and arresting of militants.
He said that sector commanders from South and North Wana had last week met a secret location to co-ordinate attacks on security forces across the region if there was any
escalation in the crackdown on jihadis.
He said that the mujahideen also resented the way the military backed away from their promises and resorted to killing and harassing the jihadis under US pressure.
“The military is not keeping its words. It’s been almost a year now and the military has yet to fulfil the promises it had made with us. They said there would be no arrests. Yet they
are arresting our mujahideen. They are killing women and children. They said they would remove military and paramilitary posts from inside South Waziristan, which they did not,”
the Dawn quoted 41-year-old Haji Muhammad Omar, commander of the mujahideen from Ahmadzai Wazirs in South Waziristan, as saying.
Omar, who along with three other militant commanders had signed a peace deal with the government in November, said that the agreements had lost their utility.
“We ceased fire and did not attack the military or the paramilitary, but they are continuing with their excesses against our mujahideen. This cannot go on. They should tell us
whether they want to abide by their words or not,” he said.
The architect of peace initiatives in South Waziristan, Peshawar Corps Commander Lt-Gen Safdar Hussain, however said that the peace deals signed with militants last autumn
were still intact.
WASHINGTON – Intelligence gathered from captured al-Qaida documents and interrogations of captured operatives has provided the U.S. with some specific information about Osama bin Laden's favored dates for his decade-long plan for an "American Hiroshima" nuclear terrorist attack – and one of those dates arrives this week.
One of the most frequently cited dates is Aug. 6, the anniversary of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. Saturday marks the 60th anniversary of that attack, so this Aug. 6 would have special significance, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter that has broken several major stories tracking al-Qaida's nuclear terrorism plans.
An amateur sleuth, Michael Matuszak, points out, for instance, that Saturday would also mark the 1,426 days since Sept. 11, 2001. He points out that, in the Islamic calendar, this is the year 1426 – and that Aug. 6 would be the first day of the seventh month, the exact midway point of the year 1426.
"It is as if Bin Laden started by scheduling 'American Hiroshima' for 8-6-2005 and then worked backwards to arrive at 9-11-2001 as the precursor," he speculates.
Matuszak arrives at the calculation, however, by including Sept. 11, 2001, in his addition.
The Aug. 6 date and its association with Hiroshima was actually cited by captured al-Qaida operatives, according to U.S. military sources.

"Dutch extend probe into suspected Islamist group"
Wed 27 Jul 2005 9:37 AM ET
By Emma Thomasson
ROTTERDAM, July 27 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Prosecutors said the case of Nouriddin El Fatmi, arrested in Amsterdam on June 22 allegedly in possession of a loaded pistol, should also be joined to that of the other members of the network dubbed the "Hofstad" group by Dutch intelligence.
Plooy told the court that Rachid Belkacem, a 32-year-old Dutch citizen arrested in London last month and extradited to the Netherlands this week, also had clear links with six of the Hofstad group suspects.
He said the Dutch authorities were seeking to confirm recent media reports that Al Issa had been arrested in Syria. If true, they would seek to question and extradite the man suspected of being the Hofstad group's spiritual leader."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LAS VEGAS (AP) - Even the ATM machines were suspect at this year's Defcon conference, where hackers play intrusion games at the bleeding edge of computer security.
With some of the world's best digital break-in artists pecking away at their laptops, sending e-mails or answering cell phones could also be risky.
Defcon is a no-man's land where customary adversaries _ feds vs. digital mavericks _ are supposed to share ideas about making the Internet a safer place. But it's really a showcase for flexing hacker muscle."

Jihad sole solution to Kashmir: Salahuddin
From the Pakistan Tribune:
MUZAFFARABAD - Chairman Muttahida Jihad Council and Supreme Commander Syed Salahuddin said that jihad is the only way out for Kashmir problem.
Speaking in favor of armed combat he said that pleading for table-talks with India will prove to be a futile endeavour on part of some Kashmiri leaders as India has no serious interest in solving the issue.
Meaning India has no serious interest in surrendering.
He was airing these thoughts while addressing a condolence gathering called here, to mourn and pray for the departed soul of a freedom fighter Saifullah who embraced martyrdom in a skirmish with Indian occupied forces on 27th of July in Bandi Pura...
