By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
November 09, 2006
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "There are more than 60 warnings of terrorist attacks, said Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Although Palestinian terrorists have continued to attempt to carry out attacks, the fact that Hamas and other groups are now calling openly for attacks is "significant," said Rosenfeld. "

"Iran's once active campuses falling silent"
Reuters ^ | Thu Nov 9 | By Edmund Blair
Posted on 11/09/2006 2:45:30 PM PST by Biscuit85
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's university campuses are falling silent. Student activists, once at the vanguard of a movement seeking political and social change in the Islamic Republic, say they are increasingly afraid to speak out."
History repeats itself -- globally.
Very sad.

"Spymaster takes secrets to grave"
The Times ^ | November 10, 2006 | Roger Boyes
Posted on 11/09/2006 4:26:54 PM PST by MadIvan
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Markus Wolf, the sinister East German spymaster who spun his web across Western Europe, has died peacefully in his sleep — taking with him some of the darkest secrets of the Cold War.
A solitary red rose was deposited by a sympathiser yesterday on the doorstep of his Berlin apartment block. But few tears were being shed for the 83-year-old Stasi general who dispatched some 30,000 agents to seduce Nato secretaries, buy up politicians, vacuum up secrets and train terrorists.
Normally voluble politicians contacted for comment yesterday refused to utter a word, as if Mr Wolf were a demonic presence. “Let him rot in hell,” spluttered one conservative deputy.
Germany, 17 years after the crumbling of the Berlin Wall, has still not quite got over the damage wrought to the national psyche by the spy chief. Even now the coalition government led by Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, is divided over the question of whether to continue vetting civil servants for their Stasi links. A draft law due to be introduced today has been withdrawn — because Germans still cannot agree on how far former Stasi collaborators and agents should be pursued, making victims out of spies."
Thanks for the info all4one.
Yep, I found it disheartening, too.
You're welcome.

Release A061109a
WEAPONS CACHE DESTROYED NEAR JULAYBAH
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces located and destroyed a terrorist weapons cache early today in Julaybah. Coalition Forces conducted a thorough search of the target area based on intelligence indicating this area was a historical location for al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders to meet and coordinate operations.
Coalition Forces found an extensive weapons cache consisting of 15 cases of anti-aircraft ammunition, improvised explosive device material, rocket-propelled grenades, mortar rounds and improvised rockets. All weapons and associated items were destroyed on-site to prevent further use by terrorists.
The destruction of this cache reduces the ability of the terrorist network to operate and increases the safety of all Iraqi citizens, Iraqi forces and Iraq’s Multi-National partners.

"Neo-Nazis attack Jewish memorial - report"
From correspondents in Berlin
November 10, 2006 07:28pm
Article from: Reuters
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "German television reported that 19 people between the ages of 15 and 24 were detained after the attack.
Earlier in the day President Horst Koehler, in a speech broadcast on national television as he attended the consecration of a new synagogue in Munich, warned that anti-Semitism was still present in Germany.
The new synagogue is near the building where Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels delivered the speech that paved the way for the November 9-10, 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom.
Roused by the speech, mobs destroyed hundreds of synagogues across Germany and in parts of Austria, ransacked Jewish homes and stores and attacked Jews, in some cases beating them to death."

"MI5 tracking '30 UK terror plots'"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MI5 knows of 30 terror plots threatening the UK and is keeping 1,600 individuals under surveillance, the security service's head has said.
Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller warned the threat was "serious" and "growing".
She warned future terrorists could mount chemical or nuclear attacks and that many of the plots in question "linked back to al-Qaeda".
A spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain said Muslims would work with security services to thwart such plots.
Hard choices
MI5 has increased in size by nearly 50% since 9/11 and now stands at roughly 2,800 staff.
But according to Dame Eliza the concern is that even with this rapid growth it will not be able to investigate nearly enough of the activity that is currently under way in the UK. She said hard choices would have to be made about resources.
"I wish life were like Spooks [the TV series] where everything is, a, knowable, and, b, soluble by six people," she explained.
Tomorrow's threat may - I suggest will - include the use of chemicals, bacteriological agents, radioactive materials and even nuclear technology
Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller
Dame Eliza's terror warning
Dame Eliza's warning comes days after a UK man was sentenced to at least 40 years in jail for planning a series of attacks.
Attacks planned by Dhiren Barot, 34, from London, included using a so-called "dirty bomb" using radioactive material.
In response to Dame Eliza's warning, Massoud Shadjareh, of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said he accepted there was a terrorist threat but said it had to be put into perspective."

300 elite cops to fight terror
Manchester Evening News ^ | Friday, 10th November 2006
Posted on 11/10/2006 1:48:38 AM PST by Mrs Ivan
AN elite anti-terror squad with up to 300 detectives is to be set up in Manchester.
The new counter-terrorism hub will dramatically increase the police's ability to tackle the threat of attacks.
It will include experts in intelligence, surveillance, forensics and computers and will be supported by civilian staff.
The move has been welcomed by GMP Chief Constable Michael Todd, who said it will create a hostile environment for terrorists.
There are about 20 officers in Greater Manchester Police's trailblazing anti-terror unit, the first to be set up outside London in 2005.
It will grow by 15 times that size and be funded by the government rather than GMP.
It will operate across the north west and be one of four regional counter-terrorism hubs geared to tracking down anyone planning to mount an attack here or abroad. The other hubs will be in London, the West Midlands and Yorkshire.
Capacity
It is understood the areas chosen relate to the level of threat.
Chief Constable Todd said: "We were ahead of the game because we decided to set up our own anti-terrorism unit early on, before the London attacks. We welcome this new development because it will provide a significant increase in our capacity to make a hostile environment for terrorists."
A spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers described the units as "national assets" which could be called on for countrywide investigations. She said: "The regional hubs will take the number of counter- terrorism officers nationally from 1,300 to 3,000."
Police in Greater Manchester have carried out many raids as part of anti-terrorism measures.

"Meet the New Judiciary Committee Chairman, Sen. Leaky Leahy"

Vox Populi, BlogWonks, Politics

by Jim Kouri, CPP
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Recently, Toronto Sun columnist Rachel Marsden wrote about the expected Democrat takeover of both houses of the US Congress. She compared voting out the Republicans and voting in the Democrats with firing your babysitter and hiring Michael Jackson.
Elections have consequences. One of the consequences for voters giving control of the US Senate and House of Representatives on November 7 is the fact that Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will be the new Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Having him serve as the chairman of that committee is the next best thing to having an Al-Qeada mole onboard.
When I watched US Supreme Court confirmation process for nominee Judge Samuel Alito, a shiver went up and down my spine as I listened to Democrat Senator Patrick “Leaky” Leahy as he discussed the NSA top secret operations. At the start of that hearing, Senator Arlen Specter (RINO-PA) mentioned the expected hearings on the NSA spy program and it hit me that the biggest leaker in Washington, DC would be involved in investigating top secret information.
While I’m certain the members of big media are overjoyed at the prospect of being spoon fed little tidbits of classified information by the left-wing Senator from Vermont, most intelligence and law enforcement officers are concerned about having a man — who admits if he disagrees with a classified operation he will spill the beans — given complete access to secrets.
Former special forces officer and columnist Geoff Metcalf provided a brief overview of Senator Leaky Leahy’s record of divulging secrets:"
