4/23/07: Steven Emerson on “Spectacular” Threat for Britain

‘Al-Qaeda ‘planning big British attack’,’
Times Online (UK) (4/22/07) by Dipesh Gadher

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1687360.ece

AL-QAEDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first “large-scale” terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.

Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on “a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne”, a reference to the West.

...

There is no evidence of a formal relationship between Al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, and the Shi’ite regime of President Mah-moud Ahmadinejad, but experts suggest that Iran’s leaders may be turning a blind eye to the terrorist organisation’s activities.

The intelligence report also makes it clear that senior Al-Qaeda figures in the region have been in recent contact with operatives in Britain.

...

The document states: “While networks linked to AQ [Al-Qaeda] Core pose the greatest threat to the UK, the intelligence during this quarter has highlighted the potential threat from other areas, particularly AQI [Al-Qaeda in Iraq].”

The report continues: “Recent reporting has described AQI’s Kurdish network in Iran planning what we believe may be a large-scale attack against a western target.

“A member of this network is reportedly involved in an operation which he believes requires AQ Core authorisation. He claims the operation will be on ‘a par with Hiroshima and Naga-saki’ and will ‘shake the Roman throne’. We assess that this operation is most likely to be a large-scale, mass casualty attack against the West.”

The report says there is “no indication” this attack would specifically target Britain, “although we are aware that AQI . . . networks are active in the UK”

...

Details of a separate plot to attack Britain, “ideally” before Blair steps down this summer, were contained in a letter written by Abdul al-Hadi al-Iraqi, an Iraqi Kurd and senior Al-Qaeda commander.

According to the JTAC document, Hadi “stressed the need to take care to ensure that the attack was successful and on a large scale”. The plan was to be relayed to an Iran-based Al-Qaeda facilitator.

If they have poured foundations for buildings, they would have had to pull permits from the town/township, I would think. At least here in CA you have to have a permit to do any type of building or repair. Maybe you could check with the city or township, whichever way it is done in TX, and see if they can give you any info.

Sounds odd to me.

German intelligence satellite sent into orbit aboard Russian rocket

07.03.07, 10:49 - Israel - A Russian rocket sent a German reconnaissance satellite into orbit, a military spokesman said Tuesday - the latest good news for Russian efforts to garner a larger share of the lucrative international market for space launches.

The German SAR-Lupe-2 satellite went into orbit late Monday night around 30 minutes after the Kosmos-3M rocket blasted off from the Plesetsk launch pad in northern Russia, Space Forces spokesman Alexei Zolotukhin said. A total of five satellites will ultimately comprise the SAR-Lupe system, which will be Germany’s first satellite-based reconnaissance system, allowing high-resolution radar images night and day, according to German officials.

According to the details released, the doctors had Iraqi AQ connections and it was timed prior to Blair stepping down. However, I think they may have mis-planned it and had to rush and in the rush failed to build the bomb properly. With that failure, then to redeem themselves, the old martyrdom attempt in Glasgow. This may likely have been what al-Hadi had in mind. Large scale stuff still on the horizon.

Thats what I am doing from the Internet, since I don’t live their, just my parents have 10 acres. Others in the area have sold 100 - 200 hundred acre tracks for over a million dollars. The Bland School District is building a new school to handle the influx of Nigerians until they finish there owe private schools and college. The have started to poor the foundation for the schools. I drove by a church they had built and the foundation they were pouring but there were no signs saying who was building.

I am looking on line to see if i can find any building permits.

It is just strange. Way out in the middle of now where and nothing saying who they are in all that construction.

I know Nigeria has Christian’s and Muslim’s. I can’t see why they would need to spend the money on Christian society camp in the middle of the bible belt.

Coalition Forces Kill Militant, Operation Ghartse Ghar Continues in Afghanistan

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2007 – Coalition forces in Afghanistan killed a suspected militant and detained two others yesterday in an operation against al Qaeda in the Zana Khan district of Ghazni province.

Credible intelligence led the forces to the location, suspected of housing militants working within the Haqqani network. One suspected militant was shot as coalition forces entered the compound.

In other news from Afghanistan, Afghan police advised by coalition forces conducted a combat patrol June 29-30 as part of the International Security Assistance Force’s Operation Ghartse Ghar, which is intended to clear Taliban fighters from both sides of the Helmand River near the village of Shurakian, in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.

The city, historically an insurgent stronghold, is cut in half by the Helmand River. Coalition teams moved up both sides forming a two-pronged attack to give the enemy less chance of escape, U.S. officials said.

As the joint Afghan police and coalition force made its approach to the city, hundreds of civilians were seen moving out of the city.

“I watched hundreds of civilians walk out of the city unopposed,” said a coalition soldier. “I counted 150 and just quit because the stream wouldn’t stop. The civilians know the insurgents commonly use human shields when fighting with coalition forces, so it was a wise choice to go.”

Coalition forces took up positions overlooking the city and used precision weapons combined with advanced optics to eliminate confirmed targets. The coalition forces concentrated on eliminating confirmed enemies, U.S. officials said.

“We held back two air strikes because positive identification could not be confirmed,” a coalition officer said. “Our forces are very proficient at spotting signs of the enemy and ensuring positive identification before eliminating them.”

Since Operation Ghartse Ghar started in June, more than four dozen Taliban have been killed in the clashes.

(Compiled from Combined Joint Task Force 82 news releases.)

>>I can’t see why they would need to spend the money on Christian society camp in the middle of the bible belt.<<

If they were Christian, one would think that a local church was sponsoring them and would include them within their fold. There would be no need for private nothing! imho

If it were happening near my mother, I would be doing the same thing you are. Hopefully you will be able to find something out via the permit route. I can’t think of any reason permits wouldn’t be public knowledge. I’ll ask hubby when he comes home tonight as he has to pull permits quite often.

U.S. Forces Rescue Downed Helicopter Crew; Ops Continue Throughout Iraq

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2007 – An AH-64 Apache helicopter crew rescued two U.S. pilots after enemy fire brought down their OH-58D Kiowa helicopter south of Baghdad yesterday.

The OH-58 pilots suffered minor injuries. An Air Force Thunderbolt II destroyed the downed helicopter with two 500-pound laser-guided bombs after the pilots were evacuated from the area.

In operations today, coalition forces killed three terrorists, detained 29 suspects and destroyed a cache of bomb-making materials, U.S. officials said.

A senior al Qaeda in Iraq leader was killed today by U.S. troops during a raid conducted west of Tarmiyah. The U.S. soldiers also detained seven suspected terrorists for alleged involvement with al Qaeda and their association with the deceased terrorist leader.

During an operation in western Baghdad, U.S. troops captured an alleged al Qaeda in Iraq operative suspected of conducting illegal checkpoints and numerous killings. Five suspected terrorists were detained during the operation, including the alleged al Qaeda agent.

Near Asad, U.S. troops captured a suspected al Qaeda in Iraq agent with alleged ties to foreign terrorists and a car-bomb network. This detainee also is suspected of involvement in a chlorine suicide-bomb attack in Fallujah in March. Three other suspected terrorists also were detained.

During a series of other raids in and around Asad, U.S. troops detained eight more suspects allegedly tied to the bomb-building network and destroyed three vehicles had used to transport insurgents and their weapons.

During another raid in Taji, U.S. forces netted five suspected terrorists allegedly linked to bomb-making activities. A cache of chemicals and bomb-making materials also were discovered. An explosives team destroyed the cache.

“We’re continuing to target the (vehicle bomb) and homemade explosives networks to reduce the operations of the terrorists who indiscriminately attack Iraqi civilians,” said Army Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman. “We remain committed to stopping those who would use violence to reignite the cycle of reciprocity of sectarian violence.”

In operations yesterday, U.S. troops killed two terrorists, detained eight suspected terrorists, including a senior al Qaeda leader, and uncovered several bomb caches during operations targeting terrorist bombing networks in Baghdad.

U.S. troops killed a suspected terrorist who’d maneuvered upon their position and detained two more suspects for their alleged involvement with the deceased al Qaeda in Iraq senior leader. The U.S. soldiers also destroyed two vehicles used in the transport of enemy personnel and weapons.

As U.S. forces approached another targeted building, an armed man began firing on them from the back yard. U.S. troops returned fire and killed the man. Another suspect was detained at the location.

When U.S. troops raided two nearby buildings they found multiple caches of bomb-making material along with a vehicle used in terrorist activities. Six suspected terrorists were detained for their alleged involvement in the Baghdad bombing network.

“Dismantling the suicide bombing network in Baghdad is a top priority for us,” Garver said. “We will continue to target al Qaeda and any groups that use vehicle-borne bombs to attack the Iraqi people.”

In other Iraq news, a U.S. helicopter used its missiles to destroy a ZPU-1 anti-aircraft gun and a 120 mm mortar system located about 10 kilometers west of Iskandariyah on July 1.

Meanwhile, Iraqi police in Mahawil, about 50 miles south of Baghdad, detained the alleged brigade commander of a rogue Jaysh al-Mahdi militia July 1. The detainee is directly responsible for directing bombing attacks against Iraqi police, soldiers and coalition forces, U.S. officials said. One such attack killed five U.S. soldiers. Iraqi police also detained three other individuals and confiscated cell phones, computer hard drives, and passports and other documents.

And, U.S. troops destroyed a homemade bomb factory in the Diyala River Valley during a July 1 operation. The erstwhile factory was a single-story brick structure set near the village of Mikbisa, northeast of Baqubah. It was discovered during a routine patrol.

After entering the house U.S. troops found large amounts of fertilizer, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid, all key ingredients used in making explosives. The house also contained a drying room in which the entire floor was covered with over 500 lbs. of explosive material. Also, a number of chemical suits and boots, goggles, vapor masks and a large number of chemical gloves were found inside the house.

“This is a significant find and confirms that al Qaeda is working against the good people of Iraq,” said Maj. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander of Multinational Division North and Task Force Lightning.

In addition, at least 23 insurgents were killed in fighting 4 kilometers south of Ramadi on Jazzera al Humar (Donkey Island) along the Nassar Canal between June 30 and July 1. Coalition and Iraqi forces were in the area because they had received reports that a significant number of anti-Iraqi forces had gathered on the outskirts of Ramadi to stage a series of large-scale attacks.

The al Qaeda in Iraq-affiliated terror group planned to regain a base of operations in Anbar province by mounting suicide car- and vest-bomb attacks. The battle began June 30 when U.S. troops were attacked with small-arms fire from two trucks. The Americans returned fire and pursued the fleeing attackers with the help of Army AH-64A Apache helicopter gunships and Marine F-18 Hornet and AV-8B Harrier fighter jets. The U.S. helicopters killed at least one insurgent and wounded another and destroyed the two trucks, later determined to be loaded with weapons, ammunition and explosives.

A search of the area on July 1 discovered 22 deceased insurgents, including seven who wore suicide vests, as well as 24 homemade grenades, 20 pressure-plate improvised explosive devices, assault rifles and machine guns, military uniforms, suicide vests and backpacks with first aid kits. Most of the enemy dead wore white clothing with white running shoes, an outfit often associated with extremist fighters prepared to kill themselves.

As the operation progressed, U.S. troops continued a search for enemy troops or weapons caches. Extremists again attacked with machine gun fire, grenades and a suicide vest. The U.S. soldiers responded with small-arms fire and grenades, killing at least one enemy fighter. Helicopter gun ships and fighter jets provided aerial surveillance and used missiles to destroy an enemy bunker complex. Two enemy fighters were detained and taken to a military detention facility for questioning.
