Morocco charges 24 Islamist bombing suspects
Tue 27 Mar 2007, 19:07 GMT RABAT, March 27 (Reuters)
Moroccan magistrates charged 24 Islamists on Tuesday with plotting a wave of bombings in the North African country's commercial capital Casablanca and in tourist destinations, court officials and lawyers said.
The 24 were arrested after their suspected leader, Abdelfattah Raydi, blew himself up at an Internet cafe on March 11 to prevent police taking him alive, the government says.
Lawyers said the suspects, who were remanded in custody, face up to 30 years in jail if convicted. They are due to go on trial soon, the lawyers said.
The government has said the 24 men, at least seven of whom are alleged to have been would-be suicide-bombers, planned to blow up foreign ships docking at Casablanca's port, hotels in Marrakech, Agadir and Essaouira, and other buildings including the police headquarters in Casablanca.
Morocco has been on high alert since February when security officials have said they had information about an Al Qaeda plot to attack the country. The government says the 24 suspects have no links with Al Qaeda.
The magistrate charged the accused with "forming a criminal gang with the aim of preparing and carrying out terrorist acts to undermine public order through spreading fear, terror and violence", court officials said.
They were also charged with "premeditated sabotage acts" and making explosives for use in the attacks. The court officials did not give details of the alleged planned attacks.
Among the 24 suspects is Yousef Khoudri, a 18-year-old mint seller who was accompanying Raydi, was wounded and arrested by police.
Most of the accused lived in the poorest slums of Casablanca. Thirteen suicide bombers emerged from the same slums in 2003 to blow themselves up at public places in the city, killing themselves and 32 other people.

"Britain freezes contacts with Iran"
By Kim Murphy and Ramin Mostaghim
Los Angeles Times
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON — Britain on Wednesday froze all government contacts with Iran as the Islamic Republic came under mounting international and domestic pressure to release 15 British sailors captured in the northern Persian Gulf.
British officials released detailed maps and coordinates they said proved the detained navy and marine personnel were operating 1.7 nautical miles inside Iraqi territorial waters, and announced that they would have no ties with Iran except for talks to win the captives' release."

Britain seeks UN support on its sailors in Iran
Published: 03.29.07, 07:08 / Israel News
Britain wants UN Security Council members to endorse a statement on Thursday that would "deplore" Iran's detention of 15 of its sailors, according to a draft text.
Britain's Defense Ministry maintains that global positioning data showed that its sailors and marines were 1.7 nautical miles (3.15 km) within Iraqi waters when they were captured on Friday by Iranian gunboats near the waterway that separates Iran and Iraq. Tehran says the vessels were in Iranian territorial waters. (Reuters)

Kidnapped Children Used For Terrorist Attacks: Interior Ministry
DPA ^ | March 29 2007
Posted on 03/29/2007 3:32:10 AM PDT by jmc1969
Terrorist groups in Iraq use children and mentally-ill people for suicide attacks, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Thursday.
Most of the children were kidnapped by the extremists, Abdul Karim al-Kanani, director of the Department for Special Operations told the Arab newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat.
The children are especially used for attacks with car bombs, "because parked cars with children sitting in them usually do not get searched," al-Kanani said.
During raids, police had discovered houses where kidnapped children were held captive, he added.
Last week a US general in Baghdad said that terrorist groups in the capital's Adhamiya district were using children as suicide attackers for the first time.
According to al-Kanani, extremists had been abusing children as suicide bombers in Iraq as early as 2005.

"Bush backs Blair, efforts to free sailors
Spokeswoman says the 'topic' was discussed"
Posted: March 29, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "President Bush "fully backs" the United States' allies in Britain, and already has discussed the abduction of 15 British sailors and marines by Iran with Prime Minister Tony Blair, according to a presidential spokeswoman.
Dana Perino was responding to a question from WND's correspondent at the White House, Les Kinsolving, who asked, "What is the president prepared to offer in the way of help to Great Britain to free the 15 of its armed forces seized by the Iranians?"
"I do have one update. The president did speak to Tony Blair today by SVTS. This was a secure video teleconference. That was scheduled before this incident had occurred, and they did speak today on a variety of topics, including this one. The president fully backs Tony Blair and our allies in Britain," Perino said."

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Thu Mar 29 2007 03:56:22 GMT-0700.
Worldwide Caution
October 11, 2006
This Public Announcement updates information on the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against Americans and interests overseas. This supersedes the Worldwide Caution dated June 6, 2006 and expires on April 9, 2007.
The Department of State remains concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics to include assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings.
Ongoing events in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East have resulted in demonstrations and associated violence in several countries. Americans are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur with little or no warning.
In August 2006, British authorities arrested a significant number of extremists engaged in a plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States. The September 2006 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Syria and the March 2006 bombing near the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, illustrate the continuing desire of extremists to strike American targets.
Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests. A series of bombings in Thailand in May and September 2006 which targeted tourist destinations, the bombings in the Egyptian resort town of Dahab in April 2006, the bombings at a market in Palu, Indonesia in December 2005, the hotel bombings in Jordan in early November 2005 and the bombing of a crowded marketplace in New Delhi in October 2005 illustrate how terrorists exploit vulnerabilities associated with soft targets. Additional examples of such targets include high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas and locales where Americans gather in large numbers, including during holidays. Financial or economic targets of value may also be considered as possible venues; the failed attack on the Abqaiq oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia in late February 2006 is one such example.
In the wake of the August 2006 plot against aircraft in London, numerous terrorist attacks on trains in India in 2006, the July 2005 London Underground bombings, and the March 2004 train attacks in Madrid, Americans are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems. In addition, extremists may also select aviation and maritime services as possible targets.
U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at http://travel.state.gov.
U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Americans abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its Consular Information Program documents, available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to information on the Internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.

"U.S. rewards US$ 5-M for Abu Sayyaf trainer"
Thursday, March 29 2007 @ 10:32 AM BST
World
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Up to US$ 5-million has been authorized by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Zulkifli bin Hir (a.k.a. Marwan), a terrorist believed to be involved in multiple deadly bomb attacks in the Philippines.
He is believed to be in the Philippines since August 2003, where he is said to have conducted bomb-making training for the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), which is listed as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
Zulkifli bin Hir, a Malaysian citizen born in 1966 in Muar, Johore, was recently added to the most-wanted list of the Rewards for Justice Program of the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security.
An engineer trained in the United States, he allegedly heads the Kumpulun Mujahidin Malaysia (KMM) terrorist organization and is a member of Jemaah Islamiyah's (JI) central command.
His younger brother, Taufik bin Abdul Halim, a.k.a. Dany, was involved in the 2001 Jakarta Atrium Mall bombing, and is presently detained in Indonesia."
