‘Iran tested new missile during summit’
Jerusalem Post ^
Posted on 12/13/2007 6:43:12 AM PST by Deut28
“Iran tested a newly-developed ballistic missile on the day of the Annapolis conference, Channel 10 reported Wednesday.
Behind a poster of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reading: “Missile maneuver of the Great Prophet,” Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard tests the long-range Shihab-3 missile in a central desert area of Iran.
The Ashoura missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers and is capable of reaching Israel, US Army bases in the Middle East and eastern European cities.
According to the country’s IRNA news agency, Najjar said the missile was named the “Ashoura,” meaning “the tenth day” in Farsi - a sacred reference among Shi’ite Muslims to the martyrdom of the third imam. “

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20071213-12
December 13, 2007
Iranian rockets found, turned over to Coalition Forces
Multi-National Division – Center
FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELTA, Iraq – A cache of Iranian-manufactured rockets was turned over to Coalition Forces based at FOB Delta Dec. 4.
Iraqi Civil Defense Corps personnel delivered 14 107 mm Iranian rockets and fuses to Kazakhstani Soldiers, said 1st Lt. Almaz Mukashev, the Kazakhstani liaison officer. The rockets were manufactured in 2006.
ICDC personnel have turned over munitions to Coalition Forces before, but this was the first time Iranian weapons were turned over from the force to Coalition Forces, said Col. Peter Baker, the 214th Fires Brigade commander.
The ICDC specializes in explosive ordnance disposal. Its head is Iraqi Maj. Gen. Abdul Rasul.
“This is another indication of the cooperation of Iraqi officials who in all earnestness want to have a better society,” Baker said. “They know these rockets are here illegally and that they are here to maim and kill Iraqi and Coalition Security Forces and innocent civilians.”
Baker said this is a sign that Iraqis are taking ownership of their area to bring about better security.
“Iraqis have to be part of the security and reconstruction effort,” Baker said. “The more stable and secure the area is, the more projects we will be able to undertake and the more capacity building we will be able to accomplish, whether it is in health, education or fuel, all of which are benefiting the Iraqis.”
The Kazakhstani unit gave the munitions to Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Three Battalion for analysis.
The Kazakhstani battalion provides EOD support to FOB Delta.

“Bhutto: Fatal bomb was rigged to baby”
By Betsy Pisik
December 14, 2007
MARDAN, Pakistan —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mrs. Bhutto would have been killed, she said, if she hadn’t stepped back to loosen the shoes on her swollen feet.
“The baby, the bomb, it went off only feet from me; there was nothing between us but the wall of the truck,” she said.
“We were rocking from side to side, this huge truck. We saw the bodies, the blood everywhere; we saw the carnage. Some bodies were naked, with their clothes burned off,” she said, shutting her kohl-rimmed eyes against the vision.”

“USF Student’s Arrest Linked To Explosives Case”
By ELAINE SILVESTRINI, The Tampa Tribune
Published: December 14, 2007
TAMPA -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Federal authorities have charged the international student with “possession or receiving of a firearm by a person admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa.” The charge carries a maximum of 10 years in federal prison.
“We’ve known since the summer they were interested in this person,” said USF spokesman Ken Gullette, referring to Moussaoui.
Moussaoui is from Morocco and has been living in a campus residence hall and studying computer engineering, Gullette said. He was scheduled to receive his undergraduate degree Saturday.
His parents arrived Wednesday from Morocco to attend his graduation.
They signed a $50,000 signature bond for his release. Moussaoui surrendered his passport and travel documents, and was released late Thursday afternoon, according to his attorney.”
