Threat Matrix: November 2006

[KylaStarr]

Since when do we owe any foreign country ANY explanation for the prosecution and conviction of a criminal?

If one chooses to live in our country, then they WILL abide by our laws. If they don't like it, they can go the heck back to their own freaking country.

[Cindy]

Ditto.

"Leading Russian critic of Putin's regime is poisoned in London"
The Telegraph ^ | 11/19/06 | Andrew Alderson, Chief Reporter and James Glover

Posted on 11/18/2006 5:20:28 PM PST by bruinbirdman

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Scotland Yard has launched an investigation into an audacious attempt to murder – using a deadly poison – a leading Russian defector at a restaurant in London.


Alexander Litvinenko, a former colonel in the Russian secret service and a fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin, was seriously ill under armed guard at a London hospital last night.


A close friend of Mr Litvinenko said last night: "Alexander has no doubt that he was poisoned at the instigation of the Russian government." He has been living at a secret address in London with his wife and son because he feared he might be targeted by political opponents.


Mr Litvinenko is thought to have been poisoned with thallium, a colourless and odourless liquid that is often used to kill rats. It has been used in previous murder attempts of political opponents.


Sources close to the investigation said last night that the poison has attacked Mr Litvinenko's central nervous system and there are fears that he will never make a full recovery. His condition was described last night as "serious but stable".


The crime invoked memories of the murder of Georgi Markov, 49, the prize-winning Bulgarian author and broadcaster, who was poisoned as he waited with commuters on Waterloo Bridge in 1978. Mr Markov felt a pain in his thigh and three days later he was dead: the murder weapon was an umbrella, partly developed by the KGB, which fired a pellet the size of a pinhead, containing the poison ricin.


Mr Litvinenko defected to Britain six years ago but only became a British citizen last month. He is regarded as a traitor in his native Russia and friends suspect the FSB of trying to murder him."

Al-Qaida source led to arrest, U.S. says

"Identity revealed in court filings"

The Associated Press
Posted November 18 2006

MIAMI ·

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The informant, known previously only as "CS-1" in government court filings, was Abu Zubaydah, who was among a group of 14 top al-Qaida operatives and leaders who were transferred in September from secret foreign prisons to the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Court papers filed Thursday by U.S. prosecutors say that Abu Zubaydah's role as a source in the Padilla investigation was recently declassified along with that of a second Guantanamo Bay detainee identified as Binyam Muhammad -- formerly "Subject-1" -- who corroborated much of what Abu Zubaydah said."
