I didn't expect to find Cindy Sheehan, in my opinion a real traitor, writing articles for Jihad unspun, but here she is.

Syria and Iran obtain German missile technology, magazine says (thru Russia)
Deutsche Presse-Agentur ^ | Nov 5, 2005

Posted on 11/05/2005 11:13:26 PM PST by F14 Pilot

Munich - Berlin has warned German industry that missile- builders in Iran and Syria are obtaining sophisticated German equipment via criminal, Moscow-based companies, the news magazine Focus reported Saturday.

The equipment was initially being legally exported to Moscow, where the middlemen, posing as legitimate Russian industrial companies and research institutions, were sending it straight to Iran and Syria.

In the report, to hit the streets Monday and released in advance to the news media, Focus said the method was explained in a confidential warning to many German companies to be on the lookout for the ruse.

It said Iran was obtaining measuring devices, propulsion systems and guidance systems to enhance its Shahab 3 medium-range missile. The Shahab 3 is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and could hit targets in Europe since it has a 3,500-kilometre range.

Syria was obtaining such systems to modernize its outdated Russian-built Scud missiles, the magazine said. The Scuds are mainly seen as a threat to Israel.

The Berlin warning named 15 firms with addresses in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Samara which had been involved in such illegal deals in the past. Among them was an institute attached to the State Technical University of Moscow.

It was not clear from the Focus report whether militarily useful equipment had already reached Iran and Syria using the ruse.

Agree.....primary is still a major caliber that I have carried since age of 16 and for my 26 years of military service. I hit the range once a week still, sometimes twice a week. In the service I had the use of shoot houses to 'create the stress and later as a Deputy Sheriff the training game was simunitions. I learned that greying out , kind of like a fighter pilot does, only ya stay awake, under high G forces was a real concern during gunfights.

We'd tape our tranining scenerios and review afterwards . The instructors would ask why we did this or that and we'd honestly swear on moms grave we didn't do such......the tapes didn't lie. Yet just the pucker factor of training at first would lock up your mind. I would do speed or tactical reloads repetedly like a blithering idgit under fire. The training was so good it created the fear and confusion I experienced later on in my career.

I learned early on that regardless of ones firepower in hand it is friggin useless if you have not the ability and will power to keep thinking and yer noggin in serious swivel mode.

I have seen units in the IDF and Israeli secret service use the little beretta 70 & 71S .22 automatics (not made any more) in such a surgical and precise manner to the right eye left eye, knee cap or hit in the motors agressors to "stop" them.

My selection of a .22 (as a backup) was based on how I had personally seen its use in training with some of those folks. Hits are key IMHO, placement is nice yet not as important as multiple hits, fast and accurate center mass when the threat is close. If the threat is far enough away to allow I'll go to cover everytime vs trying to return fire.

As a retired serviceman and former LEO I have no legal authority . As a civilian I am obligated to avoid, evade and stop the threat of deadly force against me and mine. I have no more free ammo days with uncle sugar or the county taxpayers dime'n time. Thus the closest I get to threat scenerios is participating three gun matches and IDPA. More fun than training per se yet it's trigger time that reinforces past musclematic memory skills and enhances my point shooting skills.

Be it .22 or 45ACP.......training and teaching your mind and body the martial art of shooting under high stress. And I mean sh*t and go blind stress.

Stay safe AD !!....Hope you and yours is well. Always like to read and learn from others experiences. Thanks for sharing with me.

Calls to jihad in Australia

"A call to hate and to prayer," from The Australian, with thanks to Scaramouche:

It's October 21, the middle of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, and Sheik Abdul Salam Mohammed Zoud, who has been living in Australia since the mid-1990s, stands on a platform at the front of the room reading his sermon in Arabic.
"Ramadan is not a month for indolence," he screams through a lapel microphone, drawing on Koranic parables about the importance of annihilating al-adou (the enemy) and stressing the Koranic obligation of jihad (spiritual struggle or holy war) during the month of fasting. His voice can be heard clearly in the car park outside.

"Ramadan is a month for jihad upon oneself and jihad upon the enemy," he says, a time when followers must become more disciplined in adhering to the message of the Koran, and more willing and prepared to topple the enemy of Islam: the West.

Listeners nod approvingly as Zoud praises mujaheddin - guerilla warriors engaged in holy war - who are waging bloody battles against Western troops across the world, and implores Allah to grant them victory in their fight against the enemies of Islam.

"Allah yinsur el-mujaheddin fe-Iraq (God grant victory to the mujaheddin in Iraq)," he screams, his voice crackling as he defies his own vocal range. He then repeats the message three times, each time screaming it louder and with more intensely.

Twice at the end of the 35-minute oration in front of the men, who are mostly in their 30s and 40s, the sheik exclaims in a voice filled with angst and passion, blame and hate: "Inshallah (God willing) dark days will descend upon America soon."

Two Fridays earlier, at a prayer centre at Michael Street in Brunswick, Melbourne's Muslim heartland, the man regarded as Australia's most radical imam, Sheik Mohammed Omran, stands before his mixed band of followers....
He says Islamic unity and victory in the face of the West cannot be "stopped by George Bush or Tony Blair or John Howard".

"If you don't unite, your faces will be smeared in dirt," he adds.

Both Zoud's and Omran's prayer groups teach Wahhabism, a fundamentalist branch of Islam founded in Saudi Arabia in the 1700s that inspired the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan and is preached by the world's most notorious terrorist: Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qa'ida....

Zoud has formerly been accused of having links to terror suspects and recruiting for jihad. And although he has denied such accusations, he cannot deny the fact his prayer centre, located in Sydney's Muslim heartland, has attracted terror suspects, including Frenchman Willie Brigitte, arrested and deported to Paris in 2003 for allegedly plotting a bomb attack on Sydney's naval base; and former Qantas baggage handler Bilal Khazal, who is facing terrorism-related charges in Australia.

Friday sermons at the Haldon Street and Michael Street prayer centres are predominantly geared towards political issues affecting Muslims across the world. The US and President George W. Bush figure prominently in Zoud's and Omran's sermons.

"Last night, President Bush said that the so-called fanatic Muslims would like to build an empire reaching from Indonesia to Spain," Omran said during his October 7 sermon. "And he has not said anything as truer or more accurate. What is wrong with doing that? ... What are we doing to achieve that objective?"

Omran's call to action goes even further during a Friday sermon at Michael Street conducted the following week by Harun Abu Talha, news editor of Mecca News, published by the Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaah organisation led by Omran.

During the predominantly English qutbah, the cleric says: "We should not compromise our deen [religion] for the sake of peace." It is a message greeted by collective nods from a group of more than 100 men, many of whom were present at Omran's sermon the previous Friday....

While Naji al-Imam's service is purely religious, Abu Talha, who is believed to be Bosnian, discusses "our brothers and sisters" who are dying at the hands of Western troops in Afghanistan and begins to discuss the importance of jihad before quipping: "We cannot say too much about mujaheddin in this country." The joke elicits sniggers and laughter from the group....

If the gate does not open, that would be a real disaster.

I can see terrorists entering and the gate not opening for the good guys to leave or the police to enter.

Or a fire, same scene.

Not good at all.

A must read on Paris riots:

http://www.ww4report.com/node/1253

A snipped portion from the middle of article:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Media accounts have generally overlooked that the riots erupted
days after sensational claims that French police were investigating
plans by a group of Islamic extremists to attack targets in Paris.
The accounts claimed the group was recruiting French citizens to
train in the Middle East and return home to carry out terrorist
attacks.

One French official said the extremists were using an
"underground railroad" through Syria to bring European and
Middle Eastern citizens in and out of Iraq. An anonymous senior
French law enforcement official said that French citizens had
undergone terrorist training at camps in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

"There's always been an enormous jihad zone to train people to
fight in their country of origin," the official said. "We saw it
Afghanistan, in Bosnia, in Kosovo, and now we're seeing it in
Iraq."

He said the French cell under investigation "is linked with
networks in Iraq, right now, through an individual based in Syria.
Now we're finding camps in Syria and Lebanon, and it's the same
pattern, training in explosives and chemical weapons, which is an
obsession of the jihadists."

In a recent television interview, Sarkozy, called the terror risk for
Paris "very high," adding, ''We know that there are about 10 young
Frenchmen in Iraq, ready to become kamikazes."

"One asks himself why a certain number of young French people
are in Pakistan in religious schools," Sarkozy said. "It's not normal
that an individual who lives in our neighborhoods leaves all of a
sudden for four months in Afghanistan, three months in Syria. We
want to know who is going where, for how long, and when they
come back." (Boston Globe, Oct. 19)

TV news reported "the ship was full of rich Americans..." Now isn't that enticing to the wrong people. Anyone taking these cruises should be well educated and aware of the consequences of cruising in that part of the world.

You'd think, but it is likely that they are relying upon the MSM they are going to (continue) to be grossly uninformed.

SCHOOL + THREAT:

Staten Island, NY:
HS Bomb Threat
NYPost - 11/06/05 - EXCERPT:
November 6, 2005 -- A student at a Staten Island high school threatened to "blow up the school to stop the spread of capitalism," but wasn't arrested until three days later when cops learned of the threat through hallway gossip.
On Halloween, Ze Li, 16, told another student at Curtis HS in St. George that he planned to "blow up the school with a bomb made from gun powder, vinegar and sodium dust," according to court documents.


More on Staten Island Threat:
CURTIS STUDENT ARRESTED FOR TERROR THREAT
Staten Island Advance - 11/06/05
A 16-year-old Curtis High School student is charged with threatening to blow up the school, and law enforcement sources say administrators waited three days before alerting authorities about the Halloween incident, which took place during a debate class.
The suspect, Ze Li, who police say lives on the 300-block of Richmond Terrace in St. George, is accused of threatening to blow up Curtis High School "to avenge capitalism" during a heated classroom debate last Monday, the sources said.
School officials did not notify police until Thursday.
(...) "It apparently started in a debate class. It was about whether or not it would be good to do something destructive if it meant something good would come out of it, if the end justified the means," the law enforcement source said. "It got carried away to the point where he (Li) made a threat to blow up Curtis High School to avenge capitalism."
He's since been suspended from school, and a court order prevents him from going near Curtis, a law enforcement source said. He's scheduled to return to court Nov. 17.
And authorities are bristling over the way education officials handled the incident.
"Nobody takes the kid seriously and three days later somebody realizes, what if this kid follows through?" said one high-ranking law enforcement source.


BOMB SEARCH RESULTS:

Phoenix, AZ:
JDL Member Imprisoned in Bomb Plot Killed
ABCNews.com - 11/06/05
LOS ANGELES Nov 5, 2005 — A Jewish Defense League activist imprisoned for his role in a plot to bomb a California mosque and the office of a Lebanese-American congressman was killed at a federal prison in Phoenix, an FBI spokesman said Saturday.
Earl Krugel, 62, was killed in an assault Friday evening at the Federal Correctional Institution, said FBI agent Richard Murray.
(...)Earl Krugel, a former dental assistant from Reseda, and late JDL leader Irv Rubin were arrested in 2001 and charged with conspiring to bomb the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City and a field office of Republican Rep. Darrell E. Issa, who is Lebanese-American.
Krugel pleaded guilty in 2003 to one count of conspiracy to violate the civil rights of worshippers at the mosque and one count of carrying an explosive device in connection with a conspiracy to impede or injure an office of the United States.
Despite the plea, he was sentenced in September to 20 years in prison.


Harare, Zimbabwe:
14 held in bomb attack on police station in Harare, report
M&C News - 11/06/05
Harare - Fourteen people were arrested in Harare Saturday when a petrol bomb was thrown at a police station during a demonstration against this month's senate elections, state radio said.
A policeman was seriously injured in the attack in Harare's main shopping street, the report said.
'About 20 members of the NCA (National Constitutional Assembly) and its associated organisations were demonstrating when the incident occurred,' the radio quoted police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena as saying.
The chairman of the NCA, a grouping of churches, civil rights groups and other pro-democracy activists, denied demonstrators had anything to do with the bombing.

Xiangtan, China:
China Reports Three Suspicious Pneumonia Cases
CRIOnline - 11/06/05
Chinese Ministry of Health has reported on Sunday three suspicious cases of pneumonia in the Xiangtan county of central China's Hunan province.
The three cases involve a 36-year-old man, a deceased 12-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy. The three people have tested negative to the deadly H5N1 avian flu virus.
Since the avian flu broke out recently in the region, experts have warned that one of the cases might be a strain of the virus. Further laboratory tests are now underway.


EXPLOSION/EXPLOSIVE:

Logan, OH:
Explosion Outside Ohio Wal-Mart May Have Been Caused By Meth Lab
Van Explodes In Parking Lot
NewsNet5.com - 11/06/05
LOGAN, Ohio -- Police said a possible mobile meth lab exploded at about 4 p.m. Saturday in Logan, in front of a Wal-Mart store, WCMH-TV in Columbus reported.
Witnesses told authorities that they heard a loud bang coming from a van in the parking lot. Then they said they saw men running from the vehicle, while rubbing their eyes and coughing.

The blast occurred close to a convoy of vehicles ferrying Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Gedi from an airstrip to the centre of the city after he arrived at the start of a visit to the lawless capital, they said, adding Mr Gedi was unharmed.
It was not immediately know what caused the explosion but militia officials said they suspected it was caused by a landline[landmine?-LR] planted by the side of the road.


TERRORISM/TERRORISTS:

Phillipines:
Dawud Santos: I’m no terrorist
Phillipine Daily Enquirer - 11/06/05
A MUSLIM convert accused by the military of planning bomb attacks in Metro Manila denied yesterday he was a terrorist or had jumped bail, and declared he was ready to face new charges of rebellion filed by the government recently to ensure he remained in jail.
In a radio interview, Tyrone “Dawud” Santos denied military claims he had jumped bail, pointing out he had attended all legal proceedings since his arrest last March on charges of illegal possession of explosives.
(...) Tyrone Santos belongs to a group of converts to Islam called the Rajah Solaiman Movement (RSM), started by his brother Hilarion “Ahmad” Santos, who was arrested last week in Zamboanga City. The military has linked the RSM to the Southeast Asian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah and the local Abu Sayyaf Group, both of which have been linked to al-Qaida.
Both the Abu Sayyaf and RSM have been blamed by the military for terror attacks in Manila and elsewhere in the country early this year.
(...) A military intelligence officer who asked not to be identified lest his cover be blown said the military was not taking any action against Santos because he was legitimately out on bail and there were no pending arrest warrants against him.
“Unless the court declares a violation of his bail contract... we can (not) go after him,” added the official.
(...) Meanwhile, two administration lawmakers said yesterday that the television and radio network ABS-CBN and its broadcaster Julius Babao should answer allegations made by Jonathan Tiongco and the Armed Forces that they had expedited Tyrone Santos’ bail. Citing military intelligence, President Macapagal-Arroyo had claimed earlier that Babao had posted Santos’ bail.
Babao has denied putting up Santos’ bail and the network has said it was conducting an investigation to see if Babao had violated journalistic ethics in his exclusive interview of Santos shortly after he was freed on bail last April 26.


Southern Phillipines:
Top terrorist suspect arrested in southern Philippines Australian Broadcasting Corp. - 11/06/06
Authorities in the southern Philippines have arrested one of the top leaders of the Abu Sayyaf extremist group.
Radulan Sahiron was linked to 21 kidnap-for-ransom cases, including the abduction of Western tourists and Asian workers in Malaysia in 2000.
(...) The Abu Sayyaf has been behind kidnappings, and has been accused of staging bomb attacks in recent years.
It has been linked by Philippine authorities to the operations of other militant groups such as Jemaah Islamiah and the al-Qaeda Network.


AL QAEDA/AL QAIDA:

Teheran, Iran:
Teheran 'providing refuge for al-Qaeda terrorists'
Telegraph.co.uk - 11/06/05
About 25 al-Qaeda leaders, including three of Osama bin Laden's sons, are running terrorist operations from their refuge in Iran rather than languishing under house arrest as the Teheran regime claims, intelligence officials have said.
(...)A "top-ranking Western secret service agent" has told Cicero magazine that the senior al-Qaeda operatives, who fled across the border from Afghanistan into Iran after the fall of the Taliban regime in late 2001, have been provided with a secure hiding place, logistical support and equipment by the Revolutionary Guards.
Cicero is a German investigative publication known for its strong intelligence contacts.
(...)Iran claimed that it put the al-Qaeda leaders under house arrest after they crossed the border, saying it would put them on trial. But there has been no legal action and Teheran has also ignored requests from Saudi Arabia and the West for access to the wanted men.
(...)In an indication of the men's continued involvement in acts of terrorism, Saudi intelligence recorded a telephone call from al-Adel in Iran in May 2003 giving orders for the Riyadh bombings that claimed more than 30 lives, including eight Americans, Cicero said.
(...)Iran is run by Persian Shia hardliners and al-Qaeda is an Arab-led Sunni extremist operation - two schismatic Islamic factions that have a long and bloody history of antipathy. But they have forged their alliance around a shared hatred of the West, particularly America.


Islamabad, Pakistan:
One Al Qaeda militant caught, another killed in Quetta
The Peninsula (Qatar English Newspaper) - 11/06/05
ISLAMABAD: A suspected Al Qaeda militant has been killed and another captured during a shoot-out with Pakistani security men in the southwestern city of Quetta, a government minister said on Thursday.
Al Jazeera television said it had received a statement that two people had been arrested, identifying one as Mustafa Setmariam, a Syrian with a $5m U S reward on his head.
But Pakistani Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said authorities were still trying to determine if the arrested man was Setmariam. He believed neither the arrested man nor the man killed in the Tuesday shoot-out were "high-value targets".


PARIS RIOTS:

Summary - Violence has now spread across the country and into the French Capitol of Paris. Over 1,000 reported car fires last night. Police have found a bomb-making factory in a close southern suburb of Paris which they say proves that these riots are organized and that the kids are not just "improvising" these bombs "in their bathrooms". Youth quoted in news coverage say that the remarks of French officials insulting them are tantamount to a "declaration of war" and they will keep fighting so that their friends' deaths are not "in vain"...

A country in flames… French cities teeter on the edge of anarchy
News.Telegraph.UK - 11/06/05
Gangs of youths were once again on the rampage across France last night as the guerilla warfare, which has engulfed a string of Paris suburbs for more than a week, took hold in cities throughout the country.
(...) Despite a string of emergency meetings and the drafting of 1,500 members of the CRS riot squads into the Paris suburbs, police and politicians have failed to control the worst violence the city has experienced since the riots of May 1968.
(...) Above one desolate street on the outskirts of Paris, a helicopter clattered but firefighters were forced to watch helplessly as a car burnt itself out. Any attempt to approach it resulted in a terrifying hail of stones, Molotov cocktails and other missiles.
Elsewhere in France, fire officers were pelted with metal petanque balls, car batteries and even cooking pots. (...) Angry youngsters have pledged to keep fighting so their friends did not "die for nothing".
Many of them also blame the tough-talking interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, for making matters worse. He has described the rioters as "scum" and threatened to "hose down" the estates to get rid of them.
"He's disrespected us, which is a declaration of war," one young man told the Sunday Telegraph as he surveyed one of Clichy's housing estates that was dotted with piles of ash and broken glass. "Those guys, our friends, died for nothing and we're being dissed. Someone has to say sorry."

It is so late in the season for tornado's and for it to hit at 2 am is just so out of character.

Praying that there will not be more casualties than have already been reported.
