UK police chief says attacks foiled - report
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has thwarted attempted terrorist attacks in the last few weeks and faces the continued threat of a repeat of the deadly July 7 London bombings, the country's top police officer said. Ian Blair, commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, said the force needed greater powers to cope with "a new reality" in the wake of the attacks on the capital.
"The sky is dark," Blair wrote in an article for the Sun newspaper on Wednesday. "Intelligence exists to suggest that other groups will attempt to attack Britain in the coming months."
He gave no details of the past or future threats. A London police spokesman declined to comment.(snip)

Serb discusses 1999 downing of stealth
Skorenovac, Serbia-Montenegro — Colonel Zoltan Dani was behind one
of the most
spectacular losses ever suffered by the U.S. Air Force: the 1999
shooting down of an
F-117A stealth fighter
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-117_Nighthawk).
Now, for the first time since that night six years ago, the former
Serbian commander
of an anti-aircraft missile battery has consented to speak publicly to
Western media
about the circumstances surrounding the unprecedented downing of a
U.S. stealth
plane.
The hit on the radar-evading plane on March 27, 1999, during the
78-day NATO campaign
over Serbia, triggered doubts not only about the F-117s, but also about
the entire
concept of stealth technology on which the U.S. Air Force has based its
newest
generation of warplanes.
Military analysts debated how the planes would fare in a war against a
militarily
sophisticated opponent if an obsolescent air defense such as Serbia's
could manage to
track and destroy them.
In an interview this week with The Associated Press, Colonel Dani said
the F-117 was
detected and shot down during a moonless night — just three days
into the war — by a
Soviet-made SA-3 Goa surface-to-air missile
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-3_Goa).
"We used a little innovation to update our 1960s-vintage SAMs to
detect the
Nighthawk," Dani said. He declined to discuss specifics, saying the
exact nature of
the modification to the warhead's guidance system remains a military
secret.
It involved "electromagnetic waves", was all that Colonel Dani — who
now owns a small
bakery in this sleepy village just north of Belgrade — would divulge.
The F-117 was developed in great secrecy in the 1970s. It entered
service in 1983 but
was not revealed officially until 1988. It saw its first combat in the
1989 invasion
of Panama and was a star of the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
"Long before the 1999 war, I took keen interest in the stealth fighter
and on how it
could be detected", said Colonel Dani, who has been hailed in Serbia as
a war hero.
"And I concluded that there are no invisible aircraft, but only less
visible".
The F-117 was one of only two allied aircraft shot down in the war. The
other was an
F-16 fighter, which the U.S. Air Force said was also hit by an SA-3.
Both pilots
bailed out and were rescued by NATO helicopters.
Dani said his anti-aircraft missile regiment, tasked with the
anti-aircraft defense
of the Serbian capital, Belgrade, downed the F-16.
Several other NATO warplanes were damaged by missile hits but
managed to struggle
back to bases in neighboring Bosnia, Macedonia or Croatia. At least one
is said to
have ditched into the Adriatic Sea as it attempted to regain its base in
Italy.
Despite NATO's near-total air supremacy, the alliance never succeeded
in knocking out
Colonel Dani's batteries.
The Serb SAMs remained a potent threat throughout the conflict,
forcing attacking
warplanes to altitudes above 15,000 feet (4.6 kilometers), where they
were safe from
surface-to-air missiles but far less effective in a ground attack role.
NATO won the war in June 1999, after President Slobodan Milosevic
decided to withdraw
his largely intact army from Kosovo, following the destruction of
numerous government
buildings, bridges and other infrastructure targets throughout Serbia.
"The Americans entered the war a bit overconfident", Colonel Dani said.
"They thought
they could crush us without real resistance."
"At times, they acted like amateurs", Colonel Dani said, listing some
ways the Serbs
managed to breach NATO communications security, including
eavesdropping on pilots'
conversations with AWACS surveillance planes.
"I personally listened to their pilots' conversations, learning about their
routes
and bombing plans", Colonel Dani said.
Colonel Dani said that his unit has had annual reunions on every March
27 since 1999
when a cake in the shape of the F-117 is served.

1 November 2005 - Amsterdam trains halted after suspicious package found on rails; belonged to 2 men in Islamic garb who hid in bathroom
I would definitely classify a package as suspicious if it were dumped on the railroad tracks by 2 guys in Islamic garb who immediately ran and hid in the bathroom.
Hang on a second. That means I would be profiling.
On second thought, if someone wearing full Islamic gard throws a package on the tracks and then runs and hides, I'd have to say he probably deserves to be profiled and locked up.
Trains Halted at Amsterdam Central Station
Tuesday November 1, 2005 5:16 PM
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Eastbound train traffic at Amsterdam's central station was halted Tuesday afternoon after a suspicious package was found on an international train arriving from Frankfurt, Germany, Amsterdam police said.
Spokesman Gerard Vrooland said the incident had been turned over to the national police, which have the only Dutch bomb squads.
The national NOS television reported that the package belonged to two Dutch-speaking men in tradition Islamic dress who were arrested after initially hiding in one of the train's bathrooms.
A spokesman for the national police said he could not immediately confirm the NOS report.
There was no immediate word on whether the package was dangerous.
Heightening public nervousness, the alert came on the eve of first anniversary of the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh by an Islamic radical, which a court ruled was an act of terrorism.
