OK, now I'm pissed because I have that old Doors song going through my head while I'm supposed to be working. After almost 40 years it is still disturbing. Hey, Iced Rose (ic3d r0s3), did you know that Morrison was an alcoholic? Him and Mohammed have probably gotten together in hell by now and are collaborating on some really fine lyrics for a new album.

Else if you muslims don't stop this jihad nonsense, you may meet the true terror for real.
Better sooner than later. The butcher's bill only escalates with inaction.
All hackers need to be strung up by the dangly bits.
Hear, hear, EU6305! I don't give a red-hot supersonic first-class flying ding dang damn if Internet security is improved by their constant predations. These borderlineor not so borderlineobsessive-compulsive bit pushers need to choke on their own genitalia for the mayhem they bring to one of history's most crucial advances.

With all its spy satellites and aerial drones, killer commandos and millions in reward money, why can't the world's greatest superpower find a middle-aged, possibly ill, religious fanatic with a medieval mind-set?
Quite possibly because said religious fanatic is a now a protein stain on a cave wall.
Twelve Taliban fighters were killed by artillery fire along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, officials said Sunday, as witnesses reported that 18 civilians died in a clash in the south. NATO officials, however, said no non-combatants were killed in the southern clash. Coalition and Afghan troops in eastern Paktika province were attacked by insurgents who used Pakistan's territory to fire rockets and mortar rounds toward a coalition observation post Saturday, a coalition statement said.

Elements of the Afghan National Army and Coalition forces killed more than a dozen insurgents today with precision mortar and artillery fire after receiving enemy fire at an observation post southeast of Firebase Shkin, Paktika province.
After observing Taliban fighters firing mortars and rockets from multiple positions on both sides of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, the ANA communicated with Pakistans military forces who confirmed that three of the insurgent mortar sites were on their side of the border and were not in populated areas. The Pakistani military gave permission for the Afghan National Security Forces to fire on the targets located within Pakistan.
Coalition counter fire batteries destroyed the six confirmed insurgent firing sites, three on each side of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. No civilians were reported injured during the engagement.
Fire Base Shkins observation posts are attacked by the insurgents on a regular basis due to their close proximity to the border and placement along a volatile region of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. Credible intelligence suggests that the attacks are conducted by insurgents who fire rockets and then return to Pakistan.

Coalition counter fire batteries destroyed the six confirmed insurgent firing sites, three on each side of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border.
According to StrategyPage: There, the lack of government control has resulted in U.S. troops regularly crossing the border when pursuing Taliban or al Qaeda suspects. The troops are allowed to penetrate up to ten kilometers inside Pakistan. To go beyond that they need special permission. These missions are kept as quiet as possible, and always officially denied. The Pakistani government goes along with this because the people being pursued are fighting the Pakistani government as well. When U.S. troops cross the border, they do have to notify their headquarters, which then tells U.S. officials in the Pakistani capital (who, presumably, let the Pakistani government know).
10km outranges both the 82mm mortar and 107mm rocket but well within our artillery support.

Security services arrested last week the members of a cell formerly governed by Samir Sayoud said to be the chief of staff of the former Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC, re-dubbed al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb eliminated by security forces later in April. The cell was providing terrorists with funds as well as human capital.
Security services arrested 3 people from the eastern suburb of Algiers upon inquiries led about Sayoud alias Mussab role in the second region of the former Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC, functional chart, well-informed sources told El Khabar. The arrested have been remanded under custody for terrorism funding charges and conspiracy with terrorist.
To recall, al Qaeda has already denied the fact that Samir Sayoud was an important chief, in a communiqué aired after his death, stressing that he was a mere soldier and a member of the communication committee and that he was not involved in 4/11 kamikaze attacks.

A homemade bomb targeting a police patrol exploded outside the Algerian capital Sunday, wounding five people, police officials said. The blast occurred in the town of Bordj Menaiel, in the Boumerdes region, located some 55 kilometers east of Algiers. The bomb - covered with earth and placed by the side of a road in the town's crowded central district - exploded as the police car passed. Two officers and three civilians were injured in the blast, which partially damaged the patrol car.
Algeria has been working to quell sporadic violence linked to an insurgency that broke out in 1992 after the army canceled legislative elections that an Islamic party was set to win. As many as 200,000 have died in the resulting violence. While large-scale violence died down in the 1990s, scattered attacks by a local al-Qaida continue.

Osama Bin Laden died in Pakistan
Daily Jang, quoting from the American magazine Online, reported that Osama bin Laden died of typhoid last month in Pakistan. The Saudi head of state and the President of France were secretly briefed, but the Pakistani government and the agencies didnt confirm the news. The last time Osama appeared in a video tape was in 2004, and after that only a few audio tapes (of poor voice quality) have appeared, claiming to be the voice of Osama.
Stomach belt created panic in a bus
As reported in daily Express, a bus conductor saw a passenger with a belt under his shirt and started screaming, Suicide bomber! Panic ensued, and passengers jumped from the windows of the bus. In Mianwali, a local madrassah student, Hafiz Mohammad Shahzad, boarded a bus for Bannu wearing a belt under his shirt. When panic broke out, he showed his belt to the people. It was meant to reduce a sagging tummy.
Why are Shujaat and Ijaz ul Haq targeted?
Sarerahe wrote in daily Nawa-e-Waqt, that the female students of Jamia Hafsa claimed that they kidnapped the Chinese women of the massage parlor and Aunti Shamim at the behest of Ijaz ul Haq and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain. Chaudhry Shujaat and Ijaz ul Haq have disguised their original brand and have coloured themselves to join enlightened moderators. Why didnt the female students target the surgeons of this operation? Instead, they targeted these two leaders, because Chaudhry Shujaat is a religious man and Ijaz ul Haq is the son of a pious man.
Cambridge producing terrorists
As reported in daily Khabrain, it is usually assumed that religious seminaries are centers of terrorism, but all the Al Qaeda groups who have been busted so far have not had anyone educated from these madrassahs. Osama bin Laden and Dr Aymen Al Zawahiri studied from Western universities and reacted against American policies. Indian national Kafil Ahmad, who rammed his jeep into Glasgow airport, was a PhD from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.
Thief let off on the recommendation of MPA
As reported in daily Nawa-e-Waqt, police arrested thieves red handed, stealing pipes from a factory in the Kot Abdul Malik area. Police left the head of the gang after sifarish from a local MPA, Gul Agha. The factory owner demanded that the head of the gang should be arrested again.
Radio license for Al Qaeda supporter
As reported in daily Jang, the PPP demanded an FM radio license from the governor of NWFP. The governor has given a radio license to the son in law of Sufi Mohammad, Maulana Fazalullah, who is poisoning peoples minds against democratic forces. The PPP wanted a radio channel to spread its party program to the people.
Crocodile tears of religious leaders
As reported in daily Khabrain, Maulana Abdul Aziz said through his lawyer that no religious leader, including Wafaq ul Madaris, is entitled to file a writ petition in the Supreme Court on the behalf of Jamia Hafsa and Lal Masjid. He said that these people were responsible for our problems, and now want to destroy our case to achieve their political goals. The chairman of the ulema council, Hafiz Mehmood Ashrafi, said that those who were calling the Ghazi brothers American agents are trying to take control of Jamia Fareedia and the Lal Masjid and are shedding crocodile tears to prove themselves innocent.
Blasphemy against Holy Quran
As reported in Daily Pakistan, in Holland a member of parliament and leader of the Freedom Party, Gate Bailders [that'd be Gert Wilders], demanded the banning of the Holy Quran in Holland, and compared it with the book of Hitler. His remarks have insulted Muslims, and the Public Prosecutor will decide whether to take Gate Bailders to court.
Why didnt Al Qaeda raise the Kashmir issue?
In daily Nawa-e-Waqt, famous columnist Haroon ur Rashid asked why Osama bin Laden and Aimen al Zawahiri never raised the issue of Kashmir? Is it because they have links with a certain sect, which is still against the creation of Pakistan? Do they have links with India, and are part of an international conspiracy against Pakistan?
Lawyers beat up Khalil Malik
As reported in Daily Pakistan, Khalil Malik, the owner of a paper and a presenter on PTV, was severely beaten by lawyers in Rawalpindi. He made derogatory remarks against Chief Justice Chaudhry during the movement for his restoration. A case was logged against him by the Bar Association. He came to appear in the case against him and female lawyers showed him their shoes. He surrendered and gave an unconditional apology before the court, and lawyers withdrew their case against him.
Who was Abdullah Mehsud?
Tanvir Qaiser Shahid reported in Daily Pakistan, that Abdullah Mehsud, after failing to join the Pakistan Army, went to Karachi and was admitted on the recommendation of Mufti Shamzai, to Jamia Banoria, a famous seminary of the Deoband school. He was a favourite student of Mufti Jamil Ahmad. Both Mufti Shamzai and Mufti Jamil were supporters of the Taliban and were advisors to Mullah Omar. Abdullah went to Afghanistan and was Mullah Omars lover personal guard.
Government received billions for Lal Masjid
As reported in daily Jang, Maulana Sami ul Haq, head of Jamiat ulema Islam (Sami), said that the Lal Masjid operation was done on American instructions. He said that Pakistan received 10 billion dollars for this operation. He said that the presence of arms in madrassahs is propaganda. He said that we are trying to bring madrassahs into mainstream national life.
Urdu wasting students time
As reported in daily Khabrain, the Minister of Education, Qazi Javed Ashraf, said teaching Urdu is waste of time and that our cricketers get in trouble when they speak in English. He said that the subject of Islamiyat, which doesnt teach brotherhood, patience and true Islamic traditions, should not be taught. Addressing a teacher training workshop, he said that female teachers would be employed for co education up to primary level schools.
Chinese kidnapping to avenge murder
As reported in Daily Pakistan by Tanvir Qaiser Shahid, Mufti Jamil was killed in Karachi along with Maulana Taunsavi of Khatam-e Nabowat in 2004. Mufti Shamzai had already been gunned down by unknown assailants. Two days after the killing of Mufti Jamil, two Chinese engineers were kidnapped, along with their Pakistani driver, Shaban, and Constable Asmatullah. Three of the kidnappers were Afghan, with two Mehsud tribemen. The leader of this group was Abdullah Mehsud.
Naeem Bukhari beaten by Lawyers
As reported in daily Nawa-e-Waqt, famous lawyer and TV host Naeem Bukhari, who wrote a letter to Pervez Musharraf against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, was beaten by lawyers in Rawalpindi. Naeem Bukhari said that he was ready to apologise, but the lawyers insisted that he should beg forgiveness in his underwear in front of the Bar Association members.
PPP cant have contacts with the government
Nazir Naji wrote in daily Jang, that Pakistan is divided into two classes: rulers and the oppressed. Historically, the oppressed are represented by the PPP, while the ruling class is represented by the establishment. When there is a chance for the PPP to come into power, the establishment starts yelling and throw all kinds of allegations at the PPP. Those who level allegations think of serving the establishment as their right, but when Benazir contacts Musharraf then she becomes the target of allegations.

A suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden jeep into a police pickup truck in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, killing two officers and wounding two others, officials said. Two other policemen were missing following the bombing on a road in Shangla, a mountainous district northwest of the capital Islamabad, an official at the police station in Alpuray, Shangla's main town, said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment to the media.
As militants recruit more boys to plant bombs and fight, the number of youths in U.S. military custody grows.
BAGHDAD -- Child fighters, once a rare presence on Iraq's battlefields, are playing a significant and growing role in kidnappings, killings and roadside bombings in the country, U.S. military officials say. Boys, some as young as 11, now outnumber foreign fighters at U.S. detention camps in Iraq. Since March, their numbers have risen to 800 from 100, said Maj. Gen. Douglas Stone, the commander of detainee operations. The Times reported last month that only 130 non-Iraqi fighters were in U.S. custody in Iraq.
Stone attributes the rise in child fighters in the country, in part, to the pressure that the U.S. buildup of troops has placed on the flow of foreign fighters. Fewer of them are making it into the country, he said, and the militant group Al Qaeda in Iraq is having a difficult time recruiting adults locally. Thus, it has turned to children.
"As our operations have increased, Al Qaeda [in Iraq] and others have used more minors in the fight against us, and in the process we have detained more and more juveniles," Stone said. He said the children make effective fighters because they are easily influenced, don't experience fear in the same way as adults and don't draw as much scrutiny from U.S. forces.
Other causes for the increase in detentions may be that U.S. forces are simply coming into contact with more children because of the troop buildup, and that financial pressures may have pushed some Iraqi families toward the militants.
Stone said some children have told interrogators that their parents encouraged them to do the militants' dirty work because the extremists have deep pockets. Insurgents typically pay the boys $200 to $300 to plant a bomb, enough to support a family for two or three months, say their Iraqi instructors at a U.S. rehabilitation center.
About 85% of the child detainees are Sunni and the majority live in Sunni Arab-dominated regions in the country's west and north. In these deeply impoverished, violence-torn communities, the men with money and influence are the ones with the most powerful arsenals. These are the children's role models.
The rise of child fighters will eventually make the Iraq conflict more gruesome, said Peter W. Singer, a Brookings Institution expert on child fighters. He said militant leaders often treat children as a cheap commodity, and peace will be less attainable because "conflict entrepreneurs" now have an established and pliable fighting force in their communities.
Websites feature stories of child martyrs as an inspiration, and on the other side of the sectarian divide, radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada Sadr's Mahdi Army also boasts of youngsters' involvement. "This shows that the Mahdi are a popular resistance movement against the occupiers. The old men and the young men are on the same field of battle," Sadr spokesman Sheik Ahmad Shebani told the London Daily Telegraph.
The boys are arrested under a wide range of circumstances, and their commitment to insurgents is believed to vary greatly. Although some of their alleged offenses include kidnappings and killings, the vast majority are held for allegedly planting bombs in the road in exchange for money, authorities said.
The rise in young fighters compounds the savagery that has already shuttered many schools, left children wounded and hungry, and killed parents before children's eyes.
For their American captors, the apparent surge of child fighters confuses enemy and friend on the battlefield even further, and it causes renewed scrutiny of the military's detention policies and lack of judicial access for juvenile detainees in custody.
To accommodate the influx of boys, and to break the hold of the militants, a new education facility opened here Aug. 13. It sits a bus ride away from Camp Cropper, the U.S. detention area where the boys, between the ages of 11 and 17, live segregated from many others of the estimated 24,000 suspected insurgents in American custody in Iraq.
Shi'ite fighters from the Mahdi Army took over the police joint command center in Basra on Sunday after British soldiers withdrew from the facility and handed control to the Iraqi police, witnesses said. Police left the building when the fighters, loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, arrived. The group was still controlling the facility as of late afternoon. The British military had maintained a small number of soldiers at the command center to help train Iraqi police. However, the British withdrew Saturday night "in the framework of the plan for the handover" of British positions in the city to Iraqi control, said British spokesman Maj. Matthew Bird.

It seems to me the British troops were so hampered by lack of equipment and bullets, and by rules imposed by the politicians back home, that they were an impediment to truly resolving the situation. With them safely out of the way, Iraqi Special Forces and their Coalition advisors can attack the problem.
The US military said it dropped a precision bomb on a house in Samarra after 12 men who fought US troops escaped into the structure. City police and hospital officials said seven civilians, including five children, were killed.
Lt. Col. Michael Donnelly, spokesman for US forces north of Baghdad, said a gunfight broke out when the 12 men ran into a house where US troops were conducting surveillance. The 12 opened fire on the Americans, then escaped in a truck and were tracked by an unmanned drone above the city. They were seen darting into the house that was subsequently bombed. Officials in the Samarra Joint Coordination Center and the hospital there said Mohammed Abdul Wahab, his wife and five of their children - ages 4- to 8-years-old - were killed. The officials, who refused to be named fearing retribution, said five other people were wounded, including three children, ages 4 to 10. "We cannot confirm those numbers, but can confirm the 12 or so attackers went into this house following an attack on our soldiers, who were trying to bring about some level of peace to the people there," Donnelly said in an e-mail response to a question about the attack.
It might be appropriate to take a moment to consider the house bomb.

Anyone know if this Mohammed Abdul Wahab was an extremist or not? His last name is pretty suspicious. If he was, I'd sure like to know if he thought he was doing his family some kind of favor by "martyring" them.
The military headquarters of Hamas in Damascus has ordered militants in the West Bank to carry out a major attack inside Israel, the deputy chief of the Shin Bet security service told government ministers on Sunday.
"There are efforts on the part of the Hamas leadership in Damascus to put together a plan to foil diplomatic efforts between Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Israel," said Y., the Shin Bet deputy head.
Y. added that a sense of frustration is rippling through the ranks of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, because its efforts to obtain international legitimization as the coastal strip's rulers have been fruitless, and because Fatah forces overthrown in June by the militant group refuse to renew reconciliation efforts. "According to information that has reached Israel, Hamas is frustrated that the Rafah crossing has remained closed, and the organization is considering escalating its activities against Egypt in order to open the crossing," the Shin Bet deputy chief said.
He added that the organization's frustration, and the fact that the population in Gaza blames it for the crisis with Fatah, has sent it into strategic confusion. These factors increase the risk that Hamas' will change its policy on suicide attacks in Gaza, the West Bank and abroad.
Since Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip, weapons smuggling from Egypt is on the rise, prompted by a decrease in preventative action on Egypt's part, Y. also said.
He added that since the takeover two months ago, 40 tons of explosives - or half the total amount brought in to Gaza since Israel's disengagement in the summer of 2005 - have been brought in. Since the beginning of August, 150 RPG launchers and 13 tons of explosives have entered Gaza, Y. said.
On Saturday, army sources said Hamas is stepping up efforts to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers near the Gaza perimeter security fence, after Israeli forces killed eight Palestinians and an Israeli Arab boy in the West Bank and Gaza over the weekend. Palestinian sources told Haaretz that the organization was using other Gaza militant groups to escalate hostilities with Israel and close down the Erez Crossing in the northern Gaza Strip.
Islamic Jihad is always willing to help their brothers in arms ...
Gaza militants on Sunday fired two Qassam rockets toward Israel. The rockets landed in a western Negev kibbutz, causing no injuries or damage. Also on Sunday, the Israel Air Force fired missiles in the northern Gaza Strip, and Hamas security forces said one of the group's rocket-launching squads was the target. No immediate injuries were reported.
The Israel Defense Forces, which frequently target Gaza militants firing rockets into Israel, said it would look into the report.
Earlier Sunday, six Palestinian youths infiltrated Israel, but were apprehended almost as soon as they climbed over the border wall, an Israeli military spokesman said. The six were detained for questioning. Their motives were not immediately clear, but it appeared they infiltrated into Israel in order to look for work. "Escape from New York Gaza".
However, Israeli towns in the vicinity were placed on alert and residents ordered not to leave their homes, as the infiltration occurred not far from the spot where IDF troops pursued and shot dead two armed militants on Saturday after the men got past the security fence around the Gaza Strip and opened fire on an IDF post.
Both militants in Saturday's infiltration, who were carrying weapons and explosives, apparently belonged to the Popular Resistance Committees, an supposedly independent militant group inspired by Lebanon's Hezbollah. They were planning an attack on a nearby Israeli community.
Sources in the Palestinian Authority say Hamas sponsored the attack in order to get Israel to close the Erez Crossing. Hamas wanted to prevent a group of Palestinian students from passing through the crossing, a move the Palestinian Authority's Fatah leadership coordinated with Israel without consulting Hamas, the sources said. Hamas authorized the smaller Popular Resistance Committees and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine to carry out the attack because it feared its rival, Fatah, might present the opening of the Erez crossing as an achievement, they said.
According to the sources, Hamas is increasing its efforts to fire mortar rounds at IDF forces around Gaza and Qassam rockets at Israeli towns in the northern Negev.
An initial military investigation suggested the militants climbed the fence using ropes near the Erez crossing. They managed to steal unnoticed past IDF watch towers, possibly due to hazy conditions that limited visibility. A third militant, possibly from the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, may have entered Israel with them and returned to Gaza unharmed.
Military sources said the troops who killed the militants acted swiftly and effectively, and the Golani Brigade arrested two Palestinians from Gaza suspected of aiding the infiltrators.
In the West Bank city of Jenin, forces from the IDF and Border Police killed senior Islamic Jihad militant Ala Abu al-Said and another operative, Mustafa Atik, in a joint operation Saturday. The forces killed a third operative in the shootout, and wounded several others.
On Friday, Border Police officers killed an 11-year-old Israeli boy from the Negev community of Rahat, who was visiting his mother's family near Tul Karm, in the West Bank. One wanted Islamic Jihad militant was killed in the raid, and a second was seriously wounded. The IDF took him for treatment at an Israeli hospital.
Relatives said Mahmoud Ibrahim Karnawi lived in Rahat with his parents. Palestinian witnesses said he was shot in a gunfight that broke out as IDF troops approached the family's home in order to arrest his older half-brother, a wanted Islamic Jihad militant. Neighbors said the boy was inside the house at the time of the shooting, and was hit in the crossfire. Hospital officials confirmed the death. Tariq Mulham, the slain Islamic Jihad militant, was not related to the boy, Palestinian sources said.
The IDF said its forces were shot at during an operation, sparking an exchange of fire, which wounded a Border Police officer. The army said it was investigating whether the Israeli boy was killed by Palestinian or IDF fire.
Fatah's military wing, Al-Aqsa martyrs brigades, claimed responsibility for attacking the Israeli Sderot town with two rockets on Sunday. The brigades said in a statement one of its groups launched two "Aqsa 103" rockets against Sderot in northern Gaza Strip. The attack is part of the brigades' military operations against the Israeli forces in retaliation of their crimes against the Palestinian people, it said.
"Count One: The wretched Zionists continue to draw breath. Fire for effect!"
Meanwhile, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, Al-Quds brigades, said it also attacked Sderot with three locally-made rockets. It said it unleashed "Quds three" rockets at the Israeli town.
A female teacher was fatally shot in front of her school in this southern border province Monday morning. Kesinee Timptep, 42, was shot at the gate of the Sassanasuksa School in Moo 1 village of Tambon Tabing in Sai Buri district at 10:30 am. She later died at the Sai Buri district Hospital. Witnesses told police that she was shot at her head by a pillion rider who fled the scene after the shooting.

Murdering teachers, sheesh. No doubt teachers associations everywhere will denouce this evil. Unless they are all too busy denouncing Bushitler and his evil plans.
Just one more bit of evidence that the Islamists need to be hunted down and exterminated the same as we did with smallpox.
President Sarkozy called Irans nuclear ambition the worlds most dangerous problem yesterday and raised the possibility that the country could be bombed if it persisted in building an atomic weapon.
The French leader used tough language towards Tehran in the first broad survey of his plans for extending Gallic influence in the world since the start of his hyperactive presidency in May. President Sarkozy also gave full backing to Bernard Kouchner, his Foreign Minister, who was forced to apologise yesterday for calling for the replacement of Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister.
The biggest challenge to the world was the avoidance of conflict between Islam and the West, President Sarkozy told the annual gathering of French ambassadors. Iran was the crossroads of the Middle Easts troubles and its nuclear aims are without doubt the most serious crisis that weighs today on the international scene, he said.
A nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable and the world must continue to tighten sanctions while offering incentives to Tehran to halt weapons development, he said. This initiative is the only one that can enable us to escape an alternative that I say is catastrophic: the Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran, he said. He did not say who would carry out such an attack, which has been suggested by policy experts in Israel and the US.
President Sarkozy, the most pro-American French leader for decades, condemned the US invasion of Iraq, but also distanced himself from Mr Chiracs doctrine of a multipolar world, a formula that Washington saw as code for a refusal of European partnership. Where Mr Chirac was careful not to criticise President Putins Russia, President Sarkozy said: Russia is imposing its return on the world scene by using its assets, notably oil and gas, with a certain brutality.
On Europe, the President seemed to soften his outright hostility to eventual Turkish entry to the Union. He said that France would not block negotiations provided that a high-level wise mens group was appointed to sketch the form that the Union should take. He also demanded that other European nations should contribute more to the Unions defence to ease the burden on France and Britain.
Frances new foreign policy was symbolised by Dr Kouchner, a left-leaning humanitarian, President Sarkozy said. Dr Kouchner apologised for interfering in Iraqi affairs in such a direct way when he appeared to criticise Mr al-Maliki. Dr Kouchner was in trouble over remarks to Newsweek in which he said: I have just talked to Condoleezza (Secretary of State Rice) by phone and told her: Listen, al-Maliki has to be replaced. However, the Minister stuck to his underlying point that many observers believed Mr al-Maliki was unable to impose his leadership on the warring communities.

BRUSSELSJOURNAL? > England and France - how 00's of years of Anglo-French conflict and competition formed the West + Modern World, and how much one is actually present = mirrored in the national policies and beliefs of the other.
DID YA HEAR THAT, BOYZ, BRITS LIKE ESCARGOTS, etal Frenchisms BUT DON'T DARE TO ADMIT IT, AND VICE VERSEY!
Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Dr. Abdul Aziz Khoja has left the country because of threats made against him. An Arab diplomat confirmed the news of Khojas departure but refused to elaborate. According to reports, Ambassador Khoja left Beirut on Aug. 17 after the Saudi Embassy had formally notified the Lebanese Foreign Ministry of a threat of attack against the ambassadors residence, his person, the embassy or other Saudi interests in Lebanon.
The Saudi Embassy declined to comment but Khoja told Asharq Al-Awsat daily, There were threats against the Saudi Embassy and against my person. But, the threats will not deter friendly countries such as Saudi Arabia and they will continue to exert efforts to restore security and stability in Lebanon and in the Arab world.
The embassy cited warnings from the Saudi intelligence services that a stolen BMW was being readied to commit "a terrorist act against Saudi interests in Lebanon," a diplomat said.

The Lebanese army resumed its air raids and shelling of militants holed up at Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in north Lebanon on Saturday after evacuating the last remaining civilians. Helicopters carried out repeated raids dropping 250- and 450-kilogram bombs on the small area still controlled by the Al-Qaeda-inspired Fatah al-Islam militants while tanks shelled the camp, reporters witnessed. "Pressure on the militants will be maintained until they heed our call to surrender," an army spokesman said.
He said information gathered from the 63 women and children who were evacuated from the camp on Friday could help the army in its final assault on the militants. The group of civilians, including the wife and children of Fatah al-Islam chief Shaker al-Abssi, were handed over to their families overnight after questioning by the army, a cleric told reporters "The process of handing over the group of 63 women and children to their families began overnight," Sheikh Mohammed Hajj, spokesman for a group of Palestinian clerics who acted as go-betweens, said.
Two of the children evacuated were hospitalized after leaving the camp and three women were injured, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said. Some of the women and children released by the army went to two Palestinian refugee camps -- Beddawi, which is close to the main northern city of Tripoli, and Ein el-Hilweh in south Lebanon, he said. About 25 or 30 of them who are Syrian or Syrian-Palestinian were meanwhile sent to Syria, Hajj added. Among them were the wife and children of Abssi.

Believe it when a scorched earth policy is in effect. If militants operate from a camp, village or compound, it must become a flat spot on the ground, preferably heavily mined...

We ought to number these "last pushes"---like Paleo truces.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Security services arrested last week the members of a cell formerly governed by Samir Sayoud said to be the chief of staff of the former Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC, re-dubbed al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb eliminated by security forces later in April. The cell was providing terrorists with funds as well as human capital.
A homemade bomb targeting a police patrol exploded outside the Algerian capital Sunday, wounding five people, police officials said. The blast occurred in the town of Bordj Menaiel, in the Boumerdes region, located some 55 kilometers east of Algiers. The bomb - covered with earth and placed by the side of a road in the town's crowded central district - exploded as the police car passed. Two officers and three civilians were injured in the blast, which partially damaged the patrol car.

As militants recruit more boys to plant bombs and fight, the number of youths in U.S. military custody grows.
Stone said some children have told interrogators that their parents encouraged them to do the militants' dirty work because the extremists have deep pockets. Insurgents typically pay the boys $200 to $300 to plant a bomb, enough to support a family for two or three months, say their Iraqi instructors at a U.S. rehabilitation center.
Shi'ite fighters from the Mahdi Army took over the police joint command center in Basra on Sunday after British soldiers withdrew from the facility and handed control to the Iraqi police, witnesses said. Police left the building when the fighters, loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, arrived. The group was still controlling the facility as of late afternoon. The British military had maintained a small number of soldiers at the command center to help train Iraqi police. However, the British withdrew Saturday night "in the framework of the plan for the handover" of British positions in the city to Iraqi control, said British spokesman Maj. Matthew Bird.
The military headquarters of Hamas in Damascus has ordered militants in the West Bank to carry out a major attack inside Israel, the deputy chief of the Shin Bet security service told government ministers on Sunday. 
Relatives said Mahmoud Ibrahim Karnawi lived in Rahat with his parents. Palestinian witnesses said he was shot in a gunfight that broke out as IDF troops approached the family's home in order to arrest his older half-brother, a wanted Islamic Jihad militant. Neighbors said the boy was inside the house at the time of the shooting, and was hit in the crossfire. Hospital officials confirmed the death. Tariq Mulham, the slain Islamic Jihad militant, was not related to the boy, Palestinian sources said. 
Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Dr. Abdul Aziz Khoja has left the country because of threats made against him. An Arab diplomat confirmed the news of Khojas departure but refused to elaborate. According to reports, Ambassador Khoja left Beirut on Aug. 17 after the Saudi Embassy had formally notified the Lebanese Foreign Ministry of a threat of attack against the ambassadors residence, his person, the embassy or other Saudi interests in Lebanon.
