Torture house, mass graves discovered in Iraq
CNN.Com
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Coalition forces found 26 bodies buried in mass graves and a bloodstained "torture complex," with chains hanging from walls and ceilings and a bed connected to an electrical system, the military said Wednesday. Twenty-six bodies were found in mass graves near a "torture complex" discovered by coalition forces. The troops made the discovery while conducting an operation north of Muqdadiya, Iraq. From December 8 to 11, the troops who found the complex also killed 24 people they said were terrorists and detained 37 suspects, according to a statement issued by Multinational Division North at Camp Speicher in Tikrit.

Vigilantes Kill 40 Women in Iraq's South
Associated Press
BAGHDAD (AP) — Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women this year in the southern Iraqi city of Basra because of how they dressed, their mutilated bodies found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings," the police chief said Sunday. Maj. Gen. Jalil Khalaf blamed sectarian groups that he said were trying to impose a strict interpretation of Islam. They dispatch patrols of motorbikes or unlicensed cars with tinted windows to accost women not wearing traditional dress and head scarves, he added. "The women of Basra are being horrifically murdered and then dumped in the garbage with notes saying they were killed for un-Islamic behavior," Khalaf told The Associated Press. He said men with Western clothes or haircuts are also attacked in Basra, an oil-rich city some 30 miles from the Iranian border and 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. "Those who are behind these atrocities are organized gangs who work under cover of religion, pretending to spread the instructions of Islam, but they are far from this religion," Khalaf said.

'Video aired' of Briton kidnapped in Iraq
USA Today
BAGHDAD (AP) — Captors holding five Britons demanded Tuesday that Britain pull all its forces from Iraq, posting a videotape showing a bearded, haggard-looking victim more than six months after the group was kidnapped. The purported hostage, speaking clearly with a British accent, identified himself as "Jason" and gave the date as more than two weeks ago. He sat under a sign in Arabic identifying the captors as "The Islamic Shiite Resistance in Iraq." "My name is Jason. Today is November 18," he said, alternately glancing at the camera and downward, perhaps at a piece of paper. "I have been here now for 173 days and I feel we have been forgotten." No other hostage was shown. The video was posted as Britain prepares to hand over security control of oil-rich Basra province — the last of four regions of southern Iraq it occupied after the 2003 invasion — to the Iraqis in mid-December. One expert suggested a motivation for the rare broadcast of a video by a purported Shiite group could be to project the handover as a victory for the militia factions battling for control of the area.

'Don't let teddy bear b-tch see light of day'
WorldNetDaily - Mideast terror leaders tell Sudan: 'She must be stoned or fired on'
Mideast terrorist leaders are threatening to kill a British teacher imprisoned in Sudan for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad, accusing the teacher of engaging in missionary activity in interviews with WND Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein. Some terror leaders warned of retaliatory attacks against U.S. and British targets. During today's interviews, Klein petitioned the Islamic terrorists to respond to recent notorious Muslim desecration of other religions' holy sites and asked them whether they considered it hypocritical they are currently protesting the teddy bear report. While the teacher, Gillian Gibbons, has been the target of violent street protests in Sudan, the jihadi leaders' threats mark the first time Mideast terror groups responded to the high-profile case. "We call on our Sudanese brothers to prepare themselves with explosive belts and not allow this bitch to see the light of day," said Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and a senior leader of the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees terror group. "I pray to Allah that I could have the opportunity to go to Sudan with my brothers to slaughter this unbeliever Christian. We ask the Sudanese to execute her in [the] hardest way. Any execution must be public; she must be stoned or fired on and the punishment must be harsh," Abdel-Al told Klein.

al-Qaida Wing: Bin Laden Message Coming
Breitbart.com
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Qaida's media wing said Monday it will soon release a new message from Osama bin Laden. It said the message will be addressed to European countries, but did not elaborate. The announcement by al-Qaida's as-Sahab media production wing was posted on an Islamic Web site that commonly airs militant videos. "Soon, if God allows, the lion sheik Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, (will give) a message to the European nations," it said. The militant Web site carrying as-Sahab's announcement urged Islamic militants to advertise bin Laden's new message to Western sites to "give them the unseen truth of their failed war." Bin Laden has issued four public statements so far this year—on Sept. 7, Sept. 11, Sept. 20 and Oct. 22. The Sept. 7 video was bin Laden's first in three years and was issued to mark the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. The latest one was an audiotape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television in which bin Laden called for Iraqi insurgents to unite and avoid divisive "extremism."

Chavez, Ahmadinejad to Work Against US
BrietBart.Com
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - The presidents of Venezuela and Iran boasted Monday that they will defeat U.S. imperialism together, saying the fall of the dollar is a prelude to the end of Washington's global dominance. Hugo Chavez's visit to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran followed a failed weekend attempt by the firebrand duo to push the Organization of Petroleum Exporting States away from trading in the slumping greenback. Their proposal at an OPEC summit was overruled by other cartel members led by Saudi Arabia, a strong U.S. ally. But the cartel agreed to have OPEC finance ministers discuss the idea, and the two allies' move showed their potential for stirring up problems for the U.S.

Taliban Militants Hang Mutilated Bodies of 5 Abducted Policemen in Southern Afghanistan
Fox News
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Taliban militants slashed the hands and legs of five abducted policemen in southern Afghanistan and hung their mutilated bodies from trees in a warning to villagers against working with the government, officials said Sunday. The discovery of the bodies came as officials said that recent violence and clashes had left at least 68 people dead across Afghanistan. The officers had been abducted two months ago from their checkpoint in southern Uruzgan province, said Juma Gul Himat, the provincial police chief. The Taliban slashed their hands and legs and hung the bodies on trees Saturday in Gazak village of Derawud district, he said. "The Taliban told the people that whoever works with the government will suffer the same fate as these policemen," Himat said. "This village is under Taliban control. There are more than 100 Taliban in this village."

Saudi punishes gang rape victim with 200 lashes
BREITBART.COM
A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and six months in jail, a newspaper reported on Thursday. The 19-year-old woman -- whose six armed attackers have been sentenced to jail terms -- was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape," the Arab News reported. But in a new verdict issued after Saudi Arabia's Higher Judicial Council ordered a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled the number of lashes to 200. A court source told the English-language Arab News that the judges had decided to punish the woman further for "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media." Saudi Arabia enforces a strict Islamic doctrine known as Wahhabism and forbids unrelated men and women from associating with each other, bans women from driving and forces them to cover head-to-toe in public.

Al Qaeda Claims Link With Libya Terrorists
CBS NEWS
(CBS/AP) Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is the latest to feel the verbal wrath of al Qaeda, in a new audio tape from the terror group's number-two man, Ayman al-Zawahri. In it, he claims a Libyan terror organization has linked arms with al Qaeda to overthrow Libya's political leaders, in retaliation for what it says is the African nation's closer ties to the West.

Gays Deserve Torture, Death Penalty, Iranian Minister Says
The Times
Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learned. Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged. President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country. Britain regularly challenges Iran about its gay hangings, stonings and executions of adulterers and perceived moral criminals, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) papers show. The latest row involves a woman hanged this June in the town of Gorgan after becoming pregnant by her brother. He was absolved after expressing his remorse. Britain said that this demonstrated the unequal treatment of men and women in law and breached Iran’s pledge to restrict the death penalty to the most serious crimes. A series of reported executions of gays, including two underage boys whose public hanging was posted on the internet, has alarmed human rights campaigners.

FBI: Terrorists Moving Toward Greater Use of WMDs, Attacks on Soft Targets
FoxNews.com
WASHINGTON — Radical Islamists who have been stymied in efforts to hit traditional military and diplomatic targets are increasingly eyeing so-called "soft targets," and could be moving toward greater use of chemical and biological weapons, reads a new terrorism threat report released by the FBI on Wednesday "The use of WMD against civilian targets represents the most serious potential international and domestic terrorism threat facing the United States today and provides a glimpse into emerging terrorist scenarios of the 21st century. A variety of intelligence reporting indicates that Al Qaeda has energetically sought to acquire and experiment with biological, chemical, and radiological weapons of mass destruction," the report reads.

MI5: Children Being Groomed for Terror
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Britain faces an increased threat from al-Qaida inspired terrorism and is now home to at least 2,000 people who pose a direct threat to the country's security, including children who are being groomed by extremists, the director of the domestic spy agency said Monday. In a rare public speech, Jonathan Evans, who became head of the MI5 agency in April, also warned that vital resources needed to tackle terrorism are being diverted to counter the espionage threat from Russia and China. "As I speak, terrorists are methodically and intentionally targeting young people and children in this country," Evans said in a speech in Manchester, England. "They are radicalizing, indoctrinating and grooming young, vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism. This year, we have seen individuals as young as 15 and 16 implicated in terrorist-related activity." Evans' remarks before a newspaper editors' conference were his first public speech since becoming director-general of MI5. His predecessor, Eliza Manningham-Buller, warned in November 2006 that her agents were tracking around 30 terror plots and keeping 1,600 suspects under surveillance. "That figure today would be at least 2,000," Evans said. "And we suspect there are as many again that we don't yet know of."

Translator says Theology is the True Motivation of Terrorists
The Daily Colonial
The first person to translate several Al Qaeda documents into English said that terrorists' true motivations are based in Islamic theology, not Western grievances. At a Tuesday night lecture sponsored by Students Defending Democracy, Raymond Ibrahim, editor and translator of “The Al Qaeda Reader," said that Osama bin Laden and other extremists justify their actions by citing activities such as American troop occupation and America's loyalty to Israel; but in fact, this is merely propaganda sent to the West to hide terrorists' true motivations, which are based in Sharia (Islam-inspired) law. He asserted that as long as there are those who take Sharia law seriously, there will be terrorism. In a document like Bin Laden's “Why We Are Fighting You Letter,” targeted to Americans and Westerners, the justification for terrorism is "attacks in Palestine, the stealing of wealth (oil), and American occupation for the security of Jews." Ibrahim contends that these grievances, though not necessarily fabricated, are propaganda to justify an “eye for an eye” mentality. What isn’t shown to the West or subtitled though is that “Sharia law tells Muslims that if They [Jews and Christians] refuse to accept Islam, seek the aid of Allah and fight them,” he said.

U.S. embassy terror plot uncovered
CNN.com
(CNN) -- Authorities in Azerbaijan recently uncovered a radical Islamic terror plot against the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Baku, prompting the facility to close its doors to the public Monday, Azerbaijan and U.S. officials told CNN. As a precaution, Britain also shut its embassy in Baku to the public on Monday "following security concerns nearby," Britain's Foreign Office said. The terror plot was unraveled after a weekend raid outside Baku that netted several suspected members of the radical group, two U.S. officials who asked not to be identified and a spokesman for Azerbaijan's National Security Ministry told CNN. U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack stressed that the details "are still unfolding," and the threat "may or may not be" linked to the Saturday raid. "There were some specific and credible threat information concerning the embassy and plans by militants to in some way do harm to individuals in and around the U.S. Embassy there," McCormack said, noting that no specific individuals were targeted.

Islamo-fascism Awareness Week a success
The Daily
Islamo-fascism Awareness Week is not about racism, bigotry, Islamo-phobia or a claim that all Muslims are radical and seek to harm those who don’t agree with them. It is to raise awareness about the growing group who are. Islamo-fascists are a group whose deadly fascistic ideology has affected close to every country on the globe, made almost 9,000 attacks since September 11, 2001, and now kills about 1,300 people per year. Many opponents of this event, which took place at nearly 100 university campuses nationwide, believe that it unduly links fascism with an entire religion. If this is the case, Muslims should debunk this “myth” by opposing their radical brethren around the world who suppress women, honor kill, behead the infidel and murder moderate Muslims who oppose their bloodthirsty agenda. The claims that this event is racist in nature is an elementary diversion of the clear argument being made — that there is an extreme brand of Islam posing a threat to anyone who defends freedom and humanity. We are not claiming that all Muslims are fascists. Furthermore, the term Islamo-fascism was initially coined during the ‘90s by moderate Muslims struggling for democracy in Algeria. They were brutally oppressed and 150,000 were killed by militant Islamists.

FBI: al-Qaeda detainee spoke of fire plot
USA Today
PHOENIX (AP) — The FBI alerted law enforcement agencies last month that an al-Qaeda terrorist now in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States. Rose Davis, a spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, told The Associated Press that officials there took note of the warning but didn't see a need to act further on it. The contents of the June 25 memo from the FBI's Denver office were reported Friday by The Arizona Republic. Davis declined to share a copy of the memo and an FBI spokeswoman in Denver didn't immediately return a telephone call. The Republic reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country. The memo noted that investigators couldn't determine whether the detainee was telling the truth. The newspaper said many forest law enforcement officers it contacted had no idea the warning had been issued.

Staff Editorial: It's the issues, dummy
The Daily Colonial
Today marks the beginning of “Islamo-Facism Awareness Week” on campus. The event, made famous by the flier controversy that captured the attention of the GW community, is sponsored by the conservative group Young America’s Foundation. In response, the GW chapter of the Muslim Students Association will conduct a “Peace, Not Prejudice” campaign. According to their Facebook group, "Peace, Not Prejudice" plans to “firmly meet free speech with free speech” and to “advance campus dialogue and provide a venue for constructive academic discourse.” By reacting to the YAF’s events with a movement of their own, the MSA, in conjunction with other, co-sponsoring student organizations, is helping to raise the level of debate on GW’s campus rather than unnecessarily prolonging the firestorm over the fliers. Despite many doubting the power and impact of activism on college campuses, the exchange of ideas at a university does matter. Especially at an institution like GW, where issues are magnified as campus sits just blocks west of the White House, it is important for students to keep discourse clean, honest, and intelligent.

There's menace in Osama's message

The September 7 release of a new video statement by Osama bin Laden puts to rest, at least for now, widespread speculation that he is dead, retired or has been pushed aside by his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri [1]. With a newly trimmed and dyed beard, comfortable robes rather than a camouflage jacket, and a clear and patient speaking style, bin Laden achieved a major purpose of his speech before he said a word: he clearly showed Muslims and Americans that he was still alive, that he was healthy and not at death's door, that he spoke from secure surroundings unthreatened by the US-led coalition in Afghanistan, and that he, al-Qaeda and their allies were ready to continue the war. As usual, this message was wrapped in an as-Sahab Productions video displaying high-level production values [2]. Some of the substance of bin Laden's speech was partially new to him specifically, but the West's failure to analyze what he and his lieutenants have been talking about for the past few years was repeatedly displayed by such foreign policy experts as a former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency and New York Times journalist David Brooks, both of whom suggested that bin Laden sounded like a left-wing, 1960s Marxist blogger.

The US military in Iraq announced on Thursday the start of a programme to release 50 to 80 detainees a day during Ramadan as security forces went on alert for fear of attack during the Muslim holy month. Ramadan began on Thursday for the minority Sunni population while the majority Shiites will commence the month of dawn to dusk fasting on Friday. "Task Force 134, the (US-led) organisation responsible for detainee operations, expects to release between 50 and 80 detainees per day during this holy month," a military statement said.
