FIGHTERS from the bloody conflicts in Syria and Iraq are living in Queensland but Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said they were being “closely monitored’’ as part of the state’s terror watch. The “skill sets” and “potential” for “those within the community to commit terror” was a great source of concern, Mr Stewart said. “We are on the highest state of alert for terrorism in this country that we have ever been since World War II and that means we have all got to be very aware – we don’t have to be afraid – that there is a potential for...

(Reuters) - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei controls a business empire worth around $95 billion - a sum exceeding the value of his oil-rich nation's current annual petroleum exports - a six-month Reuters investigation shows. The little-known organization, called Setad, is one of the keys to the Iranian leader's enduring power and now holds stakes in nearly every sector of Iranian industry, including finance, oil, telecommunications, the production of birth-control pills and even ostrich farming. Setad has built its empire on the systematic seizure of thousands of properties belonging to ordinary Iranians - members of religious minorities, Shi'ite Muslims,...

The correspondent for the disputed “60 Minutes'’ segment about the attack on the United States Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year apologized on the air Friday morning, saying it was a “mistake'’ to put on a security officer whose credibility has since been undermined by his diverging accounts of his actions that night.

UK: Muslims screaming "Allahu akbar" behead British soldier with machete on public street In the face of appeasement and denial everywhere in the West, the jihad grows more brazen. Here is the feed from the BBC: 1753: Senior aides to Mayor of London Boris Johnson describe the Woolwich killing as a 'sickening deluded deranged act of violence', says the BBC's Robin Brant. 1744: Senior Whitehall sources have told the BBC that the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting "Allahu Akbar" - God is Great, says political editor Nick Robinson.

RUSSIAN flags are burned by angry protesters alongside those of Iran and the Hezbollah; at the same time in the city of Hama, epicentre of Syria's pro-democracy uprising, a convoy of cars carrying US ambassador Robert Ford is showered with red roses. THE contrast could hardly be more telling or the signals it gives more intriguing. Slowly but surely evidence is emerging of one of the most remarkable aspects of the Arab Spring: in Syria and Libya, in particular, Moscow has been seriously wrong-footed. Influence it has wielded for decades is being challenged after apparent policy miscalculations that could have...

As the Muslim Brotherhood begins to flex its muscle in the current Egyptian tumult, readers of the Washington Post may wonder why there should be any concern about its possible ascendancy to a position of great influence and power in any post-Mubarak regime. According to the Post, the Brotherhood is more victim than potential victimizer. It's a "fundamentalist Islamic party" that has "long been the target of various government crackdowns." ("Islamic party eyes comeback in Egypt -- Long-banned Muslim Brotherhood poised for first real stake in politics" Feb. 8, front page, by Ernesto Londono). The Post acknowledges that the Brotherhood...

(IsraelNN.com) Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert came under thick verbal fire when he delivered the Abdullah II Leadership Lecture at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy Friday. Many of the people in the hall had apparently come there with the intent of interrupting Olmert's speech, and did so by getting up, one after the other, and hurling epithets like “murderer” and “war criminal” at him. When one of the Arabs asked “how many children have to die?”, Olmert answered with a steady voice: “This is a question that many Israelis have been asking for the past eight...

(IsraelNN.com) The Hizbullah terrorist organization is making money by using long-standing drug smuggling routes from Mexico to the United States, the Washington Times reported. Hizbullah relies on "the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts as the drug cartels,” recently retired senior drug enforcement official Michael Braun told the newspaper. The terrorist network has a long history of financing its activities through drug smuggling, initially in Syria and Lebanon and more recently in South America, where Braun noted Iranian Revolutionary Guards members have begun appearing. As it adds Mexico to its expanded operation, Hizbullah smuggles people as well...

President will be protected by 16,000 police officers By Jason Bennetto, Crime Correspondent 18 November 2003 One in nine police officers in England and Wales will be protecting George Bush on his state visit to Britain, which begins today.
