Soldiers Kill Known Terrorism Facilitator, Detain Suspects in Iraq
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 29, 2008 – Coalition forces killed a known terrorism facilitator during an operation in Baghdad today when the man refused to follow instructions to surrender, military officials reported.
Coalition forces shot and killed the man — who was known to be part of a network that provides false documents and moves supplies around Iraq — when he made a threatening movement that was perceived as hostile intent, officials said.
In other operations today:
— Coalition forces detained two suspected terrorists in Baghdad while targeting a car-bombing cell.
— East of Samarra, coalition forces captured an alleged al-Qaida leader and one other suspect. The wanted man reportedly oversees terrorist activity in the region and recruits women to conduct suicide bombings.
— Coalition forces targeted associates of al-Qaida senior leaders during operations in and around Mosul, detaining 13 suspected terrorists.
— Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers detained a key suspected criminal and four of his suspected associates in eastern Baghdad. Soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division’s 4th Brigade Combat Team detained the suspects while conducting an operation specifically targeting them in the New Baghdad district. The individuals allegedly house and hide key criminal leaders, officials said. In addition to detaining the five suspected criminals, the soldiers seized weapons including an AK-47 assault rifle, AK-47 magazines, knives, a camcorder and assorted documents.
In other news from Iraq, coalition forces identified a suspected foreign terrorist facilitator driving southwest of Qaim yesterday. They stopped the man, who was with four children, and detained him without incident. Coalition forces drove the children home and left them in the care of family members.

Coalition Forces Kill Militants in Afghanistan Province
American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, July 29, 2008 – Several militants were killed during a coalition forces operation targeting a Taliban leader yesterday in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province, military officials reported.
Coalition forces searched compounds in the province’s Gairo district, targeting a militant leader known to conduct foreign fighter operations in Ghazni and Paktika provinces, officials said.
Militants inside a building and around other buildings engaged the force with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. Coalition forces responded with small-arms fire and air strikes, killing the militants and damaging a building, officials said.
During their search, coalition forces found bomb-making materials and rigged explosives within a building, as well as a vehicle rigged with explosives. Troops also found several rocket-propelled grenades and a vehicle used to transport them.
Coalition forces destroyed the munitions, explosives and both vehicles after moving all residents to a safe location, officials said.

***U.S. Headed for ‘Heightened Alert’ Stage***

Exclusive: Major Events on the Horizon Prompt a Surge in Anti-Terror Efforts
By PIERRE THOMAS
July 28, 2008
Government officials have been quietly stepping up counterterror efforts out of a growing concern that al Qaeda or similar organizations might try to capitalize on the spate of extremely high-profile events in the coming months, sources tell ABC News.
Security experts point to next month’s Olympics as evidence that high-profile events attract threats of terrorism, like the one issued this past weekend by a Chinese Muslim minority group that warned of its intent to attack the Games.
Anti-terror officials in the U.S. cite this summer and fall’s lineup of two major political parties’ conventions, November’s general election and months of transition into a new presidential administration as cause for heightened awareness and action.
This is what the Department of Homeland Security is quietly declaring a Period of Heightened Alert, or POHA, a time frame when terrorists may have more incentive to attack.
According to drafts of government memos described to ABC News, the period would run roughly from this August through July 2009.
During this time, homeland security analysts will be asked to redouble efforts to study terrorism leads. And a number of agencies will be asked to review emergency response plans to a variety of attacks, from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to biological weapons.
Officials also are being asked to make sure they are prepared for all contingencies during the transition from the Bush administration to that of the next president.
In a recent interview, FBI director Robert Mueller told ABC News of his concerns for homeland security.
“When you have a series of events like this which are very public, where you have a number of people that are congregated together, we take additional precautions,” he said.
“That means identifying, focusing on the intelligence that’s available and scrutinizing it to pieces and running it to ground, to putting in place the precautions to assure the particular events go according to plan and free from terrorist attacks,” he said.
At the moment, the nation’s public threat level will remain at yellow, or “elevated,” but not orange, or “high.”
The reasons: There are no specifics indicating an attack on the U.S. is imminent, and U.S. officials do not want to be accused of trying to inject themselves into the presidential campaign.
“That’s a balancing act,” said Jerry Hauer, former Homeland Security official and ABC News consultant. “They really have to focus on these events and this critical time we’re going through as a nation, but they have to be very careful about the public message to not make it look political or like they’re fearmongering.”
Government officials point to the Sept. 11 attacks, which happened just nine months into a new administration, and the Madrid train bombings, which were carried out just three days before Spain’s 2004 general election.
They say history suggests a need to take potential threats seriously — especially in the very near future.

PRIVATE BANKER ARRESTED IN ARGENTINA ON CHARGES FOR EMBEZZLING MORE THAN $5 MILLION FROM BANK CLIENTS
MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and MARK J. MERSHON, the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), announced the arrest of HERNAN ARBIZU in Argentina, and the unsealing of a fifteen-count Indictment against ARBIZU for the embezzlement of more than $5 million dollars from the accounts of bank customers at UBS AG (“UBS”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). ARBIZU, 41, was arrested yesterday, in Buenos Aires, Argentina in connection with the charges filed in Manhattan Federal Court. According to the Complaint filed in May 2008 and the Indictment unsealed yesterday:
ARBIZU was employed as a Vice President in the private banking division of JPMorgan, and in that position was responsible for developing and maintaining private banking relationships with customers located in Latin America.
Between March 2007 and April 2008, while serving as Vice President at JPMorgan, ARBIZU initiated, or caused to be initiated, twelve wire transfers from private banking clients at UBS and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. totaling $5,379,500.
Four of the twelve unauthorized transfers, totaling $2,797,500 were made from a JPMorgan account on April 15, 2008. ARBIZU accomplished these transfers by forging a letter purporting to authorize the wire transfers on behalf of the bank client.
The Indictment charges ARBIZU with a total of fifteen counts: twelve counts of wire fraud for each of the twelve unauthorized transfers; one count of embezzlement by a bank employee; one count of bank fraud; and one count of aggravated identity theft for using the identities of bank customers to effect the unauthorized funds transfers. Finally, the Indictment contains forfeiture allegations, which seek the forfeiture of $5,379,500, constituting the proceeds obtained from the offenses charged in the Indictment.
If convicted, ARBIZU faces on each of the wire fraud, embezzlement by a bank employee, and bank fraud counts a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, and a fine of the greatest of $1,000,000, or twice the gross gain or loss resulting from the offense. If convicted of aggravated identity theft, ARBIZU faces a statutory mandatory minimum two-year’s imprisonment.
ARBIZU is currently being held by Argentine authorities, pending extradition.
Mr. GARCIA thanked the FBI for its work in the investigation of this matter.
Assistant United States Attorney NICK LEWIN is in charge of the prosecution.
The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Interesting, thanks for posting.
Ping.........I wonder to myself if they would threaten the Obamanation convention. I personally doubt it as he would be their best friend leaving Iraq to be taken over by terrorists.
