“US strikes in Pakistan aimed at stopping the next Sept.11 attack”
By BILL ROGGIOSeptember 19, 2008 9:32 AM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “US Special Operations Forces have stepped up attacks inside Pakistan’s lawless tribal agencies in part of an effort to prevent the next major attack inside the United States, senior military and intelligence sources told The Long War Journal.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject, said reports that the Bush administration is focused on “getting Osama bin Laden,” the elusive leader of al Qaeda’s global network, are overblown.
“Getting bin Laden would be nice, and it would clearly be a victory, but at the end of the day, al Qaeda’s network will still exist,” one source told The Long War Journal. “We need to take down that network to stop the next attack on US soil. Al Qaeda is more than bin Laden.””

Coalition Forces in Iraq Kill Bomb-Attack Suspect
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2008 – Coalition forces today killed a terrorist insurgent suspected of leading al-Qaida in Iraq bomb attacks throughout the Tigris River Valley, according to military reports.
The wanted man was among seven killed in operations in the Tikrit area, military officials said.
Intelligence reports led coalition forces to a building in Dawr, a town northwest of Baghdad, where they found the suspect and others. The targeted suspect allegedly worked for the al-Qaida in Iraq leader of Diyala, who was detained by coalition forces on Sept. 2. He is believed to be the improvised explosive device mastermind in the Muqdadiyah area, where more than 25 IED incidents have caused 38 casualties since Aug. 1, officials said.
Forces surrounded the building and called for its occupants to surrender. Despite nearly an hour of multiple calls and warnings that the force would engage them, the individuals refused to come out, officials said. An armed man appeared in the doorway, and coalition forces, perceiving hostile intent, engaged him. Later, he was determined to be the suspected terrorist, officials said.
During the operation supporting aircraft engaged and killed three additional terrorism suspects. Three women also were killed, and an Iraqi child was rescued from the rubble by coalition forces and was taken to a nearby base, where he is receiving medical treatment. Coalition officials said the air strike was conducted in accordance with applicable rules.
Surveillance teams observed two other people running from the building and taking shelter in a neighboring mosque. Coalition forces called for support from Iraqi forces, who aided by entering the mosque and apprehending one suspect, officials said.
“Sadly, this incident again shows that the [al-Qaida in Iraq] terrorists repeatedly risk the lives of innocent women and children to further their evil work,” Army Col. Jerry O’Hara, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman, said.
Also in Iraq today:
— In Mosul, troops captured a suspected terrorist associated with an alleged financier who is believed to facilitate the movement of foreign terrorists into Iraq to conduct attacks against civilians and security forces. One additional suspect was detained as well.
— Near Samarra, north of Baghdad, a suspected terrorist with ties to regional al-Qaida leadership was captured, along with an additional suspect.
— Coalition forces operating in Baghdad’s Khadamiyah neighborhood captured three wanted men and one additional suspect who are believed to conspire with a longtime terrorist leader.
— Six suspects were detained in connection with an IED attack against an Iraqi National Police patrol in northern Baghdad. A national policeman was killed in the attack earlier in the day, and two were wounded.
Also this week, Iraqi and coalition forces seized weapons caches in and around Baghdad, mostly based on citizens’ tips, officials said. The munitions included an Iranian-manufactured 85 mm PG7 rocket, a Russian-manufactured 85 mm PG7 rocket, a 122 mm Russian rocket, 150 rounds of 14.5 mm ammunition, a heavy-machine-gun barrel, rocket propellant, 60 and 81 mm mortar rounds and tubes, rocket-propelled grenades and launchers, bombs designed to pierce armor-hulled vehicles, blasting caps and Molotov cocktails.

Still, whoever did it knew what they were doing, beyond technical proficiency–they targeted the right forums at the right time. As a gauge of the attack’s effectiveness, look at how many days it’s taken to get the message out and how clumsily it’s been distributed. If these attacks continue, al-Qaeda will have to find other means of distribution or stop telegraphing its intentions with banner ads.”

Warden Message: China Milk Products Contaminated
CONSULAR AFFAIRS BULLETINS
East Asia / Pacific - China
19 Sep 2008
U.S. Embassy Beijing released the following Warden Message on September 19.
The Chinese government recently announced that industrial contaminant melamine has been discovered in many brands of infant formula produced in China. Following these reports, the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory warning consumers that any formula produced in China may contain melamine and should not be used.
Melamine has since been found in other dairy products in China as well, and the Chinese authorities have dispatched inspection teams around the country to conduct a comprehensive check of milk products for contamination. Because of the uncertainties related to dairy products in China, the Embassy is not in a position to monitor or verify the quality of any dairy product produced in China. Dairy products produced and imported from other countries and currently on sale in China are not affected.

The individual is an alleged IED cell leader in the al Abayachi area and suspected of orchestrating an Aug. 10 suicide-belt improvised-explosive device attack in Tarmiyah, as well as multiple small-arms attacks.

Notice: Continuation Of The National Emergency With Respect To Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, Or Support Terrorism
White House News
On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I declared a national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New York, in Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon committed on September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against United States nationals or the United States. Because the actions of these persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States, the national emergency declared on September 23, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2008. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

Jawa in Reuters on al Qaeda Website PWNAGE
Looks like someone at Reuters noticed us. Since WaPo, which ran the Reuters wire story, couldn’t figure out how to link us I guess I’ll return the favor: www.washingtonpost.com
India’s Hindustan Times pointed the finger at Internet intelligence websites, which responded in tongue-in-cheek fashion.
Rusty Shackleford of My Pet Jawa (www.mypetjawa.mu.nu) denied his web group was behind any cyber-attack on the websites. “But if I was responsible I’d deny it,” he added.
Aaron Weisburd of www.internet-haganah.com wrote: “The actual reasons for this are not known to me (and I would say that even if I actually knew what was going on).”
When less popular Islamist websites finally managed to post links to the much-hyped video — which includes a “last will” recording by one of the September 11 hijackers — downloaders noted that the password given to them was wrong.
Thanks to Aaron.
