Military Condemns Suicide Bombings That Killed 29, Wounded 52
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 2, 2008 – Military officials condemned a pair of suicide bombings that occurred near an Iraqi hospital today, killing 29 Iraqis and wounding 52.
In the small Diyala province village of Balad Ruz, an Iraqi woman, disguising deadly explosives in a mock-pregnant belly, detonated her suicide bomb next to a children’s shoe store and a cafe. As emergency response units arrived on the scene, a male bomber detonated his suicide explosives, military officials said.
“By striking near a hospital, targeting civilians and wounding even small children, the enemy has once again demonstrated its total depravity and complete disregard for human life,” said Maj. Geoffrey M. Schmalz, executive officer of 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
“While the citizens and leaders of Balad Ruz work to build their community, the enemy seeks only to kill and destroy,” Schmalz added.

Coalition Forces in Iraq Kill Three Enemy Fighters
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 2, 2008 – Coalition and Iraqi forces killed at least three enemy fighters, captured 55 suspects, and seized weapons in Iraq over the past three days, military officials said.
In Iraq today:
— Coalition troops detained four suspected terrorists during raids in Mosul targeting members of the local al-Qaida in Iraq network responsible for attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces.
— Using information gleaned in previous operations, coalition forces detained four suspected terrorists in a separate raid in Mosul.
— Iraqi and coalition forces captured two wanted men and two additional suspects 15 miles northwest of Baghdad. One of the wanted men is believed to be a leader in the al-Qaida in Iraq bombing network in the northern belt surrounding the Iraqi capital, while the other allegedly operates a bombing cell.
— Coalition forces detained four suspected terrorists during an operation targeting al-Qaida in Iraq senior leaders and their associates about 60 miles northeast of Baghdad.
— Combined forces in Mosul captured an alleged member of an al-Qaida in Iraq cell that targets security forces with indirect-fire attacks. Coalition forces detained an additional suspect and discovered a cache of weapons near a house.
— In a three-day operation that culminated today, coalition forces seized al-Qaida in Iraq computers and information storage devices and destroyed three weapons caches near Samarra.
During operations in Iraq yesterday:
— As they prepared to stop a vehicle south of Mosul, coalition forces received small-arms fire from another vehicle. Responding to the hostile threat, troops engaged the vehicle, killing three attackers and destroying weapons and ammunition inside. Despite coalition forces’ warnings to stop, the driver of the target vehicle refused to comply. Forces engaged the vehicle, killing the driver. They later found heavy machine guns and other weapons within the vehicle.
— Iraqi army and coalition soldiers detained 32 suspected terrorists in a joint operation in Mosul. The cordon and search took place in the city’s Zanjali and Borsa neighborhoods.
— After witnessing a car bombing that killed a coalition soldier in Baghdad, Iraqi citizens apprehended an enemy fighter involved in the attack and turned the individual over to the Iraqi National Police. Citizens arrested and transferred two others to Iraqi police. All three suspects later tested positive for contact with explosives.
— Coalition forces detained a wanted man in Iskandariyah, 60 miles south of Baghdad. The man is an alleged al-Qaida in Iraq leader in the Arab Jabour area and is believed to conspire directly with the terrorist network’s senior leaders.
— Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division’s 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, seized two Dragonov sniper rifles, a deadly homemade bomb, and an MP-5 machine gun from the back of a vehicle in southern Baghdad.
— Soldiers with the 25th Infantry Division’s 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, discovered a weapons cache hidden in a field west of Baghdad. The cache contained two 122 mm mortar rounds, 120 rocket boosters, 544 anti-tank rounds, seven Russian-made rockets of various sizes, ammunition and bomb-making materials.
— While conducting a combat patrol, soldiers from Company A, 4th Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, attached to the 4th Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, were approached by a local citizen who led them to a weapons cache. The cache contained three rocket-propelled grenades and a launcher.
— A local citizen approached the joint security station in Karb De Gla to turn in a 60 mm mortar round he found. In addition, Iraqi National Police, working in the Abu Tshir community, reported finding a hand grenade.
— Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers and Iraqi police discovered three caches in an abandoned building in southern Baghdad’s Rashid district. The caches contained 10 deadly makeshift bombs and 100 pounds of homemade explosives, dozens of mortar and artillery rounds, 47 rocket-propelled grenades, rockets and other ammunition.
In the Sadr City section of Baghdad yesterday:
— Enemy fighters used small-arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades and sniper fire to attack soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division’s 4th Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, around 11:30 a.m. as troops attempted to emplace barriers. An air weapons team providing overwatch for the operation engaged the attackers with a Hellfire missile, killing one and causing the rest to flee.
— As the soldiers continued their barrier-emplacement operation, they saw a suspect in a building with a weapon around 1:45 p.m. An M1A2 Abrams tank crew providing security for the operation fired a 120 mm round and killed the would-be attacker.
— About an hour later, soldiers with 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment came under attack by assailants using small arms and rocket-propelled grenades from a nearby building. An air weapons team fired two Hellfire missiles, and fixed-wing aircraft dropped two precision-guided munitions and destroyed the building, which ended the enemy attacks.
— Soldiers from 1-68th Combined Arms Battalion were attacked at 5:40 p.m. by enemies using small arms from a building while the soldiers were engaged in a barrier-replacement operation. An air weapons team fired two Hellfire missiles, destroying the building and ending the enemy’s attack.
In other news from Iraq, Iraqi special operations forces advised by U.S. Special Forces soldiers captured an Iranian-backed “special groups” commander in Baghdad April 30.
The man is believed to be a weapons smuggler and has reportedly launched attacks with homemade bombs and indirect fire. Intelligence reports link him to a bombing attack in October that killed four U.S. soldiers and a mortar attack that month that killed another, officials said.
During the operation, the Iraqi forces received small-arms fire from enemy fighters and saw two armed men running toward them. The Iraqi troops retaliated and killed them both.
“The detention of this suspect will likely affect the ability of special groups criminals to conduct attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces in the area and will possibly lead to the detention of additional criminals in the area,” said Army Col. Bill Buckner, a Multinational Corps Iraq spokesman.
Elsewhere in Iraq on April 30, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers, acting on tips from local citizens in the Rashid district of southern Baghdad, seized additional weapons and munitions.

“Bosnian Muslim jailed for torturing Croats inside church”
April 30, 2008
SARAJEVO, April 30 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”Kurtovic...was found guilty because on several occasions during October 1993, he physically and mentally tortured detained Croat civilians and prisoners of war in the Roman Catholic Church of All Saints in Donja Dreznica,” it said.
Bosnian Muslims and Croats entered the 1992-95 war as allies against Bosnian Serbs but then fought their own war in 1993-94, which was ended by a Washington-brokered peace agreement.
Kurtovic beat the detainees with iron bats, crosses and statues of Saints, according to the indictment. He also ordered his subordinates to use detainees as a human shield between the Bosnian Muslim-led army and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO).
“The accused ... forced detainees to eat pages from the Bible and other religious books,” the indictment said.
“On the unknown day in October 1993, the accused and Hasan Delic forced two detained HVO soldiers to perform oral sex,” the indictment said. The two men then allegedly beat one Croat detainee and extinguished cigarette butts on his neck, it added.”

MND-B soldiers kill criminals, protect the Iraqi people (Baghdad)
Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad soldiers and their Iraqi Security Forces partners engaged criminal elements May 2 in the Sadr City district of Baghdad, as they continue to provide security for the law-abiding people of Iraq.
At approximately 7:20 a.m., MND-B soldiers observed a criminal on a rooftop with an AK-47. The soldiers engaged and killed the criminal.
At approximately 12:30 p.m., an air weapons team engaged a house adjacent to the Ubaydi neighborhood, with a Hellfire missile after an explosivelyformed penetrator triggerman was identified. The criminal was killed in the engagement.
Afterward, the two EFPs, that he was the triggerman for, were recovered.
At approximately 12:45 p.m., MND-B Soldiers, in the same area, engaged a group of heavily-armed criminals after they fled into a house. An M1A1 Abrams tank engaged the criminals with one round from its main gun.
They reengaged the criminals after Iraqi Army soldiers reported being attacked by small-arms fire from the same house again.
Three criminals were killed in the engagements.
An air weapons team then engaged the house with 30 mm guns and a Hellfire missile. Following the final engagement, the attacks ceased.
At approximately 3 p.m. an MND-B Soldier killed a criminal who was carrying an illegal weapon commonly used by snipers.
At approximately 5:20 p.m., a fixed-wing aircraft used precision-guided munitions and killed two criminals and destroyed a mortar tube.
MND-B soldiers provided positive identification of the building housing the criminals and the weapon.
“The Special Groups criminal is nothing more than a heavily-armed street thug who uses innocent civilians as shields for their activity,” said Lt. Col. Steve Stover, MND-B and 4th Inf. Div. spokesman. “We know who the key leaders are. Habitually, these evil men use intimidation and threats of violence against the Iraqi people in order to hide amongst the civilian population. Iraqi Security and Coalition forces will not rest until we bring them to justice.”

Israeli police discovered suspicious substance near U.S. consulate
2008-05-02
JERUSALEM -- Israeli police discovered a suspicious package near the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem Friday afternoon, before using a robot to neutralize it. At least five claps like gunshots were heard after police sent out a bomb disposal robot to handle the package near the back gate of the U.S. agency, said a Xinhua photographer who lived nearby.
Residents in the area were told to stay at home before police lifted the alert about half an hour later and left the scene which is also near to King David Hotel, in which U.S. President George W. Bush stayed during his visit to Israel in January. Police at the scene refused to comment, and calls to the Israel Police spokesperson's cellphone were unanswered. Israeli security officials have warned that intelligence has been detected indicating possible massive attacks during the Jewish state's 60th anniversary celebrations, part of which Bush is to attend in mid-May.

Bomb shakes Malmö apartment building (Sweden)
2 May 08 08:26
A powerful bomb exploded in the stairwell of an apartment building on Falsterbogatan in Malmö early Friday morning. The explosion was strong enough to blow in doors to apartments pn every floor of the entryway. There were no reports of injuries, but many residents were in a state of shock.
"I was woken up by a loud explosion," said Johanna Knutsson to the TT news agency. The bomb was placed just outside her apartment door. "The door was lying in the hallway and there was debris everywhere and smoke. It was totally unbelievable," she said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is refusing to identify the "influential Muslim Americans" and "leading U.S.-based scholars and commentators on Islam" who met with Secretary Michael Chertoff in helping shape a softer approach to government lexicon about terrorists and their ideological motivations.
"Our policy is we don't comment on the Secretary's private schedule," spokeswoman Amy Kudwa told the IPT. Nor would she identify any of the participants' organizational affiliation.
DHS and the State Department's Counterterrorism Communications Center each issued reports urging government employees to avoid words like "jihad," "mujahedeen" or any reference to Islam or Muslims, especially in relation to Al Qaeda.
