Ahmadinejad Vows News Soon on Atomic Work
-Full Story-

Iran's president promised on Sunday Iranians would soon hear more news about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, which the West believes is a covert effort to build atomic bombs despite Tehran's denials.

"The Iranian nation will soon hear fresh news about our country's nuclear transition," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.

He did not give details about any announcements or when the news would be released but Ahmadinejad is due to hold a news conference on Tuesday.

iraqi-palestinians.net, freepalestinians.com: al-Qaida outreach effort targeting Palestinians (in Lebanon and Iraq?)

The site presents itself as seeking to educate the visitor to the plight of the Palestinians living in Iraq. The latter enjoyed the status of palace pets during the reign of Saddam, but are now generally despised by Iraqis of all political and religious persuasions.

Analysis of the site links it directly to a number of well-known and al-Qaida associated projects, as well as to Palestinian elements associated with... Fatah. Yes, Fatah, not Hamas. Our sense of the situation is that al-Qaida - like the PIJ - senses in the current situation an opportunity to recruit at the expense of Hamas. Thus they present themselves here as the champions of the Palestinians in Iraq. What they have done to actually help the Palestinians in Iraq is anyone’s guess. In all likelihood they have done nothing.

“Ouster Sought Of Official In Imam Case”
By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN
Staff Reporter of the Sun
April 11, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mayor Bloomberg is being asked to dismiss from the city’s Commission on Human Rights the lawyer involved in a lawsuit that could discourage ordinary citizens from reporting what they believe to be suspicious activity.

In a letter sent to Mr. Bloomberg on Monday, an assemblyman of Queens, Rory Lancman, said Omar Mohammedi’s position on the human rights commission undermines efforts to encourage New Yorkers to act as the eyes and ears of law enforcement.

Mr. Bloomberg made Mr. Mohammedi a commissioner for the human rights commission in 2002. As a private attorney, Mr. Mohammedi is representing a group of imams from Arizona who are suing US Airways after they were removed from a flight last November. He is also suing any passengers on the flight who alerted authorities to what they regarded as suspicious activity by the imams.”

Thai Buddhist woman killed and burned
Jihad against 26-year-old Buddhist women. From AFP, with thanks to JE:

A Buddhist woman was shot dead and her body set ablaze early today in Thailand’s restive Muslim-majority south, police said, as the country’s junta leader began a visit to the region.

Police said the 26-year-old’s body was burned beyond recognition after she was killed while on her way to work on the outskirts of Yala town.

“It’s the work of the same group of militants who are active in this predominantly Muslim village,” they said.

The province of Yala has seen a surge in attacks this year, with 10 people killed on Monday alone. Four of them were shot dead while returning from the burial of a bombing victim.

“IRAQ: HELICOPTER ATTACK CLAIMED BY ‘IRAQI HAMAS’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Baghdad, 10 April (AKI) - A new group in the Iraqi insurgency, calling itself “Iraqi Hamas” has claimed responsibility for the downing of a US helicopter on Tuesday morning in Baghdad.

“Is it Legitimate to Use Nuclear Weapons Against the West? A Debate on An Islamist Forum”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Islamist website Al-Firdaws recently posted an article by a certain Abu Zabadi titled “Religious Grounds for [Launching] a Nuclear Attack.” [1] The article, presented as a response to “recent rumors about Al-Qaeda’s plan to attack the U.S. with WMDs such as a nuclear bomb,” unequivocally opposes the use of WMDs by Muslims against the West, and attempts to counter the legal justifications for their use recently put forward by some prominent religious scholars affiliated with Al-Qaeda and other jihad movements. [2]

The article sparked a fierce debate among participants on the forum, with some participants supporting the author’s reasoning and conclusions, and others forcefully rejecting them.

The following are the main points of Abu Zabadi’s article, and excerpts from some of the responses to it. “
