NY authorities accuse Maryland man of conspiring to support terror group
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--terrorismarrest0804aug04,0,4252030.story?coll=ny-region-apnewyork
NEW YORK -- A Maryland man was charged with conspiracy to help a terrorist organization after he boasted that he went to Pakistan, attended terrorist training camps and agreed to provide whatever assistance was necessary, prosecutors said Thursday.
Mahmud Faruq Brent, of Gwynn Oak, Md., was charged after a New York musician arrested on similar charges in May agreed to meet with him and let the FBI record the encounter, according to a joint release by federal prosecutors, the FBI and New York police.
Brent was charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan with conspiracy to provide material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba organization, which the United States designated a terrorist organization in December 2001.
During the taped conversation at a hotel in Columbia, Md., Brent indicated he had traveled to Pakistan and into the mountains for training "and stuff" with "the mujahideen, the fighters," the release said.
He allegedly said that because of "treaties with Bush," it became dangerous for "foreigners" like him to stay in the camps, so he was moved from place to place.
Prosecutors said Brent indicated that he would never go back on his decision to go to the training camps operated by Lashkar and that it was "one of the better decisions in my life."
He also said he had agreed to provide whatever "assistance" he could there and expressed hope that Allah would bless him for his efforts, according to the release.
The investigation of Brent began, authorities said, after they found an address book with telephone numbers for him when they arrested Tarik Shah, 42, of New York.
Brent was being held in Manhattan and was scheduled to appear in court later Thursday. Prosecutors didn't say if he had a lawyer.
Shah pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges on June 28, and defense attorney Anthony Rico called the case against his client "ridiculous."

ARAB MUSLIMS ON SLAUGHTER SPREE OF SOUTH SUDANESE CHRISTIANS
As news reports on retaliatory killings and violence against South Sudanese Christians in Khartoum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum ) surface, armed Arab Muslim gangs continue to roam the streets of the city and suburbs, despite the dawn-to-dusk curfew.
"I am extremely worried about these recent grave developments in Sudan, especially since the Sudanese government is not willing to take immediate and stern action to stop the killings," said Sabit Alley, a leader in the South Sudanese Community in America and an Associate Representative of the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M), in an SPLA/M news release. "Members of the South Sudanese Community fear that the world will witness a repeat of the Rwandan Genocide in Khartoum if the killing does not stop."
According to the news release, the "racially and religiously motivated attacks" were instigated by "fanatic Muslim clerics" in retaliation for demonstrations and riots carried out by South Sudanese youth in the capital of Khartoum to protest the weekend death of their leader Dr. John Garang.
Garang was recently sworn in as First Vice President of Sudan, following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the Sudanese Islamic Fundamentalist government and the SPLA/M.
Southern Sudanese are concerned, SPLA/M reported, that the government, a perpetrator of the 22-year genocidal war against them, is responsible for the death of Garang, and therefore they are calling for an international investigation of the crash.
Though media reports place the number killed since Saturday at about 130, the SPLA/M news release reported that other accounts from the city and the outskirts of Khartoum, where much of the violence is now occurring, indicate that the number killed may be as high as 400.
According to the news release, eyewitnesses said over 100 dead bodies have been thrown into the River Nile, and many of the homes and churches of Sudanese Christians have been destroyed in the suburbs.
"Despite the government's call for calm, the killing is escalating," Alley said in the news release. "South Sudanese residents in Khartoum report that Muslim religious leaders have declared a jihad (religious holy war), and are mobilizing their followers to carry out revenge killings on Christians living in the city and its suburbs."
According to the SPLA/M release, members of the South Sudanese Community in the Diaspora are calling on the U.S. and the International Community for intervention to help stop the killing of South Sudanese Christian civilians in Khartoum and its suburbs, preserve the CPA and ensure that peace is established.
And in a recently issued news release, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) extended its condolences to the people of Sudan following Garang's death.
The news release read in part, "Dr. Garang was a voice for fair treatment for all of Sudan's marginalized peoples, including most recently the Muslim Africans of Darfur who have been subjected to genocide by the ruling elite in Khartoum.
"In light of the loss of Dr. Garang, the Commission believes more than ever that U.S. leadership is crucial for peace for Sudan. In order to ensure that peace, stability, and reconciliation are achieved in Sudan, the Commission continues to recommend that the U.S. government remains engaged at the highest levels in bringing about a just and lasting peace for all of Sudan."

Qaeda says Islamic sharia must be only law in Iraq
I saw this coming over two years ago (and before that, too, in Islam Unveiled). From Reuters, with thanks to Eschwapp:
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's al Qaeda group said on Thursday that Islamic sharia law should be the only legislation to govern the country, according to an Internet statement.
"The Islamic sharia is the right religion and anything else is wrong and rejected, including the constitution. No human being is allowed to legislate laws which are the right of God alone," said the statement posted on a Web site frequently used by the al Qaeda organization in Iraq.
"Participating in drafting legislations and the constitution is equal to infidelism and blatant polytheism. Whoever believes in it or calls for it or rules by it is an apostate and an infidel."

Although OBL has gotten the 'legal' blessings to use nukes in jihad, I think WND and Art Bell folks are over exaggerating things in a manner similar to Y2K. Smuggling as many nukes as alledged and maintaining them would require an operation of huge complexity - even for AQ. I think that if a mainland US strike is to occur, it will follow along the lines of Madrid/London against mass transit -or- simultaneous truck/car bombings in heavily populated/peopled area (malls/amusement parks, etc.)
My Mother told me that Russia bought a lot of Citicorp through some entity called Zamora or something like that. It stared with a Z. Maybe someone on here knows what it is.

Md. man accused in terrorist support plan
8/4/2005, 6:40 p.m. ET

The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) A Maryland man was charged with conspiring to help a terrorist organization after describing the time he spent at a terrorist training camp in Pakistan as "one of the better decisions in my life," prosecutors said Thursday.
Mahmud Faruq Brent, of Gwynn Oak, Md., allegedly boasted that he had agreed to provide whatever assistance was necessary.
Authorities began investigating Brent after they found an address book with telephone numbers for him when they arrested Tarik Shah, 42, of New York. Shah pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges earlier this summer.
