“MI5 warns of suicide bombers using ambulances”
David Leppard
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda may be planning to buy former NHS ambulances and police cars to mount suicide bomb attacks in Britain, MI5 has warned.
They may import a tactic already used in Iraq and Israel, according to a report by MI5’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre to chief constables.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A Whitehall security official said that while there was evidence that Al-Qaeda had adopted the terrorist tactic in the Middle East, there was no specific intelligence of such a plot in Britain.
Every year dozens of police cars, ambulances and fire engines are sold. Some are fully marked and can be bought for as little as £1,500.
Counter-terrorism officials at the Home Office have now written to eBay, the internet auctioneer, asking it to stop selling emergency service vehicles, equipment and uniforms. However, eBay has said it will only self-regulate if a new law is passed.”

Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart
June 29, 2008
Iran has moved ballistic missiles into launch positions, with Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant among the possible targets, defence sources said last week.
The movement of Shahab-3B missiles, which have an estimated range of more than 1,250 miles, followed a large-scale exercise earlier this month in which the Israeli air force flew en masse over the Mediterranean in an apparent rehearsal for a threatened attack on Iran’s nuclear installations. Israel believes Iran’s nuclear programme is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons. The sources said Iran was preparing to retaliate for any onslaught by firing missiles at Dimona, where Israel’s own nuclear weapons are believed to be made.
Major-General Mohammad Jafari, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, told a Tehran daily: “This country [Israel] is completely within the range of the Islamic Republic’s missiles. Our missile power and capability are such that the Zionist regime – despite all its abilities – cannot confront it.”

OPINION-OBSERVATION:
The Iranian government and other associated mad minions have upped the propaganda and rhetoric recently probably to the highest level that I have seen on the internet, fwiw.
ISLAMABAD: The government has increased security around foreign embassies and the offices of international donor agencies in the federal capital in the wake of the military operation in the restive areas of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), sources said on Saturday.
Sources in the Interior Ministry told Daily Times that fresh instructions have been issued to all departments concerned to make foolproof security arrangements around important government buildings, especially foreign embassies and missions situated in and outside the diplomatic enclave.
“Security has already been enhanced in the capital but we have issued fresh instructions to all the departments concerned to remain extra vigilant in the wake of the operation in the NWFP,” a senior Interior Ministry official said. He said security agencies feared that militants might target foreign missions in the federal capital.
He said security agencies feared that militants might target foreign missions in the federal capital, much like an unidentified suicide bomber attacked the Danish embassy in Islamabad on June 3, killing at least eight people and injuring nearly 30 others.

raqi Forces Detain Suspect Linked to Rocket Attacks
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2008 – Iraq’s Baqubah Emergency Response Force detained a suspected al-Qaida member in Udaim, north of Baghdad, today.
The response force conducted the operation to disrupt al-Qaida’s movement and decrease the terrorist organization’s intimidation attacks on the local Iraqis in the Udaim River Valley area, officials said.
The detained man is believed to be part of a mortar and rocket cell that targets Iraqi security and coalition forces and local citizens, officials said.
During the operation, ground intelligence indicated that two buildings were rigged with homemade bombs and posed a threat to ground forces. The emergency response force cleared the buildings of all occupants before air support fire was requested to destroy the two structures.
In other operations today:
— Coalition forces in Mosul captured a suspected al-Qaida agent and an additional suspected terrorist. The agent is believed to have close contact with several al-Qaida senior leaders.
— South of Sharqat, coalition forces detained a suspected terrorist believed to be tied to a bombing network in the area.
— Coalition forces conducted several operations in Baghdad using information from operations in the area yesterday. They detained five suspected terrorists allegedly tied to the al-Qaida in Iraq network and confiscated propaganda materials.
In operations yesterday:
— Coalition forces engaged and killed a man who drew a weapon when they entered a building during an operation targeting a leader of an al-Qaida propaganda cell in Baghdad. They engaged and killed another suspected terrorist when they perceived hostile intent from his failure to follow coalition forces’ instructions, officials said. Six suspects were detained when they fled to nearby homes, including a man believed to be the targeted leader.
— During another operation in Baghdad, coalition forces captured a wanted man believed to conspire with al-Qaida leaders.

— South of Mosul in Sharqat, two men refused to comply with instructions and warnings, including warning shots. Coalition forces engaged them, killing both. One was identified as a wanted terrorist who was part of a bombing network. Eight suspected terrorists were detained in the same operation, including a wanted man who identified himself to coalition forces. Two others admitted to playing a role in the terrorist cell.
— Southwest of Mosul in Bulayj, coalition forces captured a suspected leader in the network who is believed to have ties to al-Qaida senior leaders.
— Iraqi and coalition forces observed an armed man on a roof in Kirkuk. The forces perceived hostile intent when the man quickly moved his weapon into a confrontational position. Iraqi and coalition forces engaged and killed the armed man.
In operations on June 27:
— Coalition forces in Mosul captured an alleged leader of an illegal terrorist “court,” the third such suspected leader to be detained in the last three weeks. The suspect also is believed to oversee financial matters and the movement of suicide bombers. Two additional suspects were detained.
— Iraqi soldiers with the 34th Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division, seized a rocket-propelled grenade, a rocket tube and six AK-47 assault rifle magazines in Baghdad’s Sadr City district.
— In the same area, Iraqi soldiers with the 3rd Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division, found munitions on the roof of a house. The cache included an RPG propellant charge, a flare pistol, a 7 mm pistol, body-armor jackets, a blasting cap with detonation cord, a video camera with cassettes, full AK-47 magazines, a sub-machine gun, a pistol holster, an AK-47 sight and an AK-47 flash suppressor.

“Diploma Mills Could Enable Terrorist Infiltration”
By Michael Cutler
(June 29, 2008)
I can’t imagine that it would be too hard to figure out exactly who has access to Hamza. Interesting development.
Thank you to you and to all, for the continuing updates.
OPINION: I agree Velveeta and you’re welcome.
A simple solution would be to release the information about the missing "student" to the local law enforcement authorities and let them assist. How many traffic citations did the 9/11 hijackers get?
But then, the government wouldn't do that. Too simple a solution.

“Olympic host Beijing to introduce subway security checks: report”
Fri Jun 27, 10:37 PM ET
BEIJING (AFP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Guns, ammunition, explosives and poisonous material will be the focus of the checks, Xinhua news agency said, citing an spokesman of Beijing’s Mass Transit Railway Operation.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In addition to police and sniffer dogs, the company has trained about 3,000 extra personnel for the security checks, he said.
“Passengers who reject security checks or insist on carrying dangerous articles will be banned entry or exit and even punished by law,” he said.
Police said earlier passengers will have to drink bottled water and other beverages they carry onto the subway to prove the substances are harmless.”
“A simple solution would be to release the information about the missing “student” to the local law enforcement authorities and let them assist.”
OPINION: I agree 100%.
We could take a step further and on the ice.gov site, list the names and photos under a category entitled SEEKING INFORMATION. It wouldn’t take up a lot of web space and is not hard to do at all.

“The Next Generation of Radical Islamist Preachers in the UK”
By James Brandon
(June 26, 2008)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In the last few years the British government has imprisoned, exiled or deported most of Britain’s most high-profile jihadist preachers such as Abu Hamza, Omar Bakri and Abdullah Faisal. In 2006, it also passed laws prohibiting the “glorification” of terrorism to prevent new preachers from gaining similar prominence. However, as a range of fresh plots and convictions show, these measures have not yet halted jihadist recruitment. Within the last two years, several groups of would-be terrorists have been convicted of planning to kidnap and behead British Muslim soldiers in Birmingham, join jihadis in Pakistan and carry out terrorist attacks in the UK. Other cases currently being heard by courts or awaiting trial include alleged plots to bomb several trans-Atlantic airliners and set off bombs in restaurants. The growing evidence that many of these plotters have often been radicalized within the last two years suggests that extremists in the UK have adapted to anti-terrorism measures rather than being silenced by them [1].

“Kurdish Activism in Europe: Terrorism versus Europeanization”
By Thomas Renard
(June 26, 2008)
Two very different forms of Kurdish activism oppose each other in Europe. The largely unnoticed development of opposing forces could be exploited by European diplomats to terminate terrorist activities carried out by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and soften Europe’s relationship with Turkey. The “old” form of Kurdish activism consists of terrorist attacks, training and fundraising in Europe by PKK members. The “new” form of activism relies on legal and democratic means. While the former takes advantage of the lack of European counter-terrorism cooperation, the latter finds its force in the new powers implemented by the European Union (EU). The reinforcement of the “new” Kurdish activism, and the weakening of the “old” terrorism, could facilitate the process of Turkish adhesion to the EU.”
In Post no. 956 that was an ARTICLE SNIPPET.
Now, I respectfully beg to disagree sir.
Government will always grow — it has an endless supply of wealth — our hard earned tax payer $$$$$.

“Muslim former guard at Andrews Air Force base convicted of concealing alias on job application”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “But assistant U.S. attorneys David I. Salem and Emily Glatfelter said the omission during a 2005 background investigation was a deliberate attempt to keep his ties to Musa and the mosque secret.
On the application, Jackson indicated that he had no other names. And in an interview with an investigator from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Jackson did not disclose any other names, prosecutors said. Jackson also is known as Abdul-Jalil Mohammad, prosecutors said. (In some prosecution filings, the last part of Jackson’s Muslim name is spelled “Mohammed.”)”
