Kavkaz.org has Khattab's obituary up. According to them, he was a sterling fellow:
"Khattabâs real name is Samir Saleh Abdullah Al-Suwailem. In his early youth he wanted to study in the United States. Mansour shed light on several aspects of Khattabâs personal life in an interview with Arab News. The interview was conducted at his fatherâs house in Alkhobar in the Eastern Province."
In case you missed that, that's the Eastern Province of the Saudi Entity. That makes him yet another Soddi wahhab exported to help make the world a better place.

The Ministry of Defence on Saturday said it had identified the mystery ailment which has laid low dozens of British troops. Officials told journalists at a briefing it was "Winter Vomiting", an illness characterised by one or two days of vomiting and diarrhoea. Never heard of it.
Twenty-two British servicemen reported sick on Friday with the illness that has struck a field hospital at Bagram Airbase near Kabul this week, taking to 40 the total number afflicted. Scotland was recently hit by an outbreak. "Winter vomiting disease is caused by a group of viruses called Small Round Structured Viruses," Dr Peter Christie, Consultant at the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health, said on a website. "They usually cause short-lasting outbreaks but are extremely infectious and can affect a high proportion of people in class rooms, hospital wards or even in tour buses." Important safety tip here...

Iraq expects a US military strike at any time despite its acceptance of a revamp of the UN sanctions regime, Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan revealed. "We are expecting the American adminstration to launch its attack when it judges that circumstances allow it to realise its underhand objectives" in Iraq, Ramadan told Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite television channel. He ruled out any link between a military strike and the contentious issue of the return to Iraq of UN weapons inspectors after a three-year break. "We pay no attention to those who say that the (return) of inspectors is a condition to avoid a strike," he said, adding that the "American administration does not believe in dialogue and mutual interests with other states." Hmmm... No. We just want to kill Sammy and his capos and his button men.

Jordan has been presented with a British proposal for a forward military base along its frontier with Iraq for use in any campaign to topple President Saddam Hussein. Arab diplomatic sources said U.S. and British military personnel have examined the frontier area for use as a forward base in an attack against Baghdad and to ensure that Iraq will be stopped in firing medium-range missiles from the western desert toward Israel. The sources said London and Washington have expressed interest in using existing Jordanian facilities to house special operations forces and aircraft to patrol western Iraq for Scud-class missile launches. The sources said Washington has assessed that Iraq is preparing to install chemical warheads on its Scud arsenal in any war against the United States. The U.S. assessment is that Iraq would fire its missiles toward Israel and Kuwait. That's a switch. Jordan and Yemen were Iraq's only allies in the Gulf War. I remember one touching propaganda picture where King Hussein was photographed giving Sammy a new gun for his birthday...

Two men who allegedly planned to carry out bomb attacks on power stations and a National Guard Armory in South Florida were charged on Friday with conspiracy to damage and destroy property with explosives, justice officials said. A two-count indictment was unsealed on Friday and the two defendants, Pakistani Imran Mandhai, 19, and Shueyb Mossa Jokhan, a 24-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, appeared before a federal magistrate, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami said in a statement. Prosecutors requested pre-trial detention. How interesting. A Pak and an Arabic-sounding naturalized Merkin. In south Florida.
Details were not immediately available on when the men were arrested or when their alleged plot took place. Actually, the news was all over the Rantburg street a month and a half ago. Maybe Reuters should read Rantburg?
But the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported on its Web site that one alleged target was a power plant near Fort Lauderdale that Mandhai allegedly sought to bomb in April 2001. The U.S. Attorney's Office said that according to the two-count indictment, the defendants sought out targets in south Florida for missions they allegedly saw as an Islamic holy war, in which they planned to bomb electrical power stations and a National Guard Armory. The indictment said the defendants intended to follow the bombings with a list of demands on the United States government and other governments around the world. Just like back home in Pakland. "It ain't a crime, it's a career path."

Pouring scorn on the anti-Muslim policies and programs of Jews and Indians hundreds of activists of Sunni Tehrik rallied together to demonstrate against them. With anti-Indian and Jewish slogans and placards in their hands they marched along the main roads and finally rallied at the main Haider Chowk then to Hyderabad Press Club. Sunni Tehrik is a breakaway group of Jamaat-i-Ulema Pakistan. The JUP was split into five groups. The Sunni Tehrik, headed by Maulana Saleem Qadri of Karachi is the biggest of them. Its followers are identified by dark brown turbans. The Punjab Sunni Tehrik is another group, though it has a smaller following, which has set up its offices in Unchi Masjid which used to be the site of Shia-Sunni conflict during Ashura processions in the late 1950s.
Angry speakers asked the Muslim Ummah in particular Arabs to use oil as a weapon against the enemies of Islam. "We must join hands together to teach tough lesson to the enemies of Islam. Otherwise, we have to pay the heavy price' said the Tehrik speakers including Shahid Ghari, Fahim Sheikh and others. Revenge and turbans. They go together like ham and eggs, don't they? And we have to have demontrations and threats all the time, otherwise we'd have a civil society. And those Jews! It's terrible the way they've overrun Pakistan! They're almost as bad as them Injuns!

Saudi Arabia, which has long been the target of criticism for alleged human rights violations, lashed out at rights watchdogs, accusing them of applying double standards when it came to Muslims. "It is surprising that these organisations apply a double-standard policy in their positions and judgments on nations around the world," Justice Minister Abdullah al-Sheikh told Al-Jazira newspaper on Saturday. "When Muslims are faced with a problem, these bodies fail to address the issue appropriately. If they do, it will be a face-saving exercise only," the minister said. But when non-Muslims are faced with a problem, "we find these organisations launching sensational campaigns for topics which may not deserve it," Sheikh added. Y'see, lopping off a head or an arm is different when it's done in a Muslim country. It's ummm... well, different.
The minister blasted the rights watchdogs for criticising the application of Islamic law in the kingdom, accusing them of having a missionary agenda as an objective. "We should not forget that some of the human rights organisations have (Christian) missionary goals which they implement through their programmes and activities," he said. Yeah. It's them damn' Christians. Soon's we're done with them damn' Jews, just you wait and see...
The kingdom applies a strict form of sharia, or Islamic law, imposing the death penalty for murder, rape, apostasy, armed robbery, drug trafficking and repeated drug use, and amputation of hands for thieves. The application of Islamic penalties has had "tremendous positive results in achieving security and preserving the interests of the nation," Sheikh argued. Well, the recidivism rate's certainly low, isn't it?
Sheikh said organisations that protest the application of Islamic law against convicted criminals remain silent at the killings of thousands of people in many parts of the world "for no reason." Most of those killed are pious men with turbans, those that aren't defenseless Muslim women and children...

Sudanese rebels will continue to attack oil installations and won't share oil revenue with their country's government, despite a recommendation by a U.S. envoy that such a move could be key to ending Sudan's 19-year civil war, a rebel official said Friday. Samson Kwaje, spokesman for the Sudan People's Liberation Army, which controls much of southern Sudan, said it would be immoral for the rebels to share the country's oil revenue while the conflict continued. "The oil exploration, the oil installations, are legitimate military targets because it fuels the war," Kwaje told The Associated Press. "Right now, one side (the government) is using it to oppress other parts of Sudan. So why don't we suspend operations of this natural resource, work very hard on the peace process of Sudan, then we can have a fair way of sharing the resources." Seems like the rebels had their chance. They signed an agreement, then broke it. My sympathy meter seems to be stuck.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail said it would be impossible to share oil revenue unless there was a ceasefire. "With a ceasefire it's possible, but now fighting is going on, how can we distribute it?" Ismail said. That makes sense. If you're shooting at me with one hand, and I'm putting cash in the other, I'm the one who needs his head examined.
Ismail said the government had "no problem" sharing oil revenue with the south if there was peace, but not with the SPLA. Could it be they don't consider them trustworthy? Could it be they're right?

Venezuela's vice president played down rumors that another military rebellion against President Hugo Chavez was in the works Friday. "The situation is totally normal," Jose Vicente Rangel said at a news conference. Rangel said commanders throughout the nation reported the situation was calm, and blamed the rumors circulating in Caracas, the capital, on adversaries trying to incite another uprising. Interesting statement, isn't it? He doesn't say the rumors aren't true, only that the situation is normal. If they have a coup this time, they'll probably shoot Hugo. Let's see him make a comeback from that.

French police fired tear gas Friday to break up clashes between Afghans and Kurds at refugee camp near the Channel tunnel that left seven seriously injured, police said. A dozen others suffered minor injuries, many from knife wounds, after fighting broke out during a soccer match at the Red Cross refugee camp, police said. LCI television showed refugees ripping a fence from the ground and running off with fence posts in their hands. It reported that 100 officers were called in to break up the clashes. It was the latest of several violent incidents at the Red Cross center, which shelters more than 1,000 refugees in a space intended for 650. Y'see, the problem isn't Islam. And it isn't cultural. It's... ummm... something else.

The fate of 13 exiled Palestinian gunnies and crooks being temporarily hosted by Cyprus will not be known until next week at the earliest. Michalis Papapetrou said the men, expelled from Israel after the 38-day siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, will not leave the island before Tuesday. "We expect a final agreement next Tuesday when the EU foreign ministers will meet," Papapetrou told AFP. Didja hear the one about the guy whose granddad died, and he was going through the old man's suits? In the pocket of one of the suits he found a dry cleaner's ticket, dated 1931. He noticed that there was still a dry cleaner's at the address on the ticket, so just as a goof he stopped by and presented it, telling the guy behind the counter he wanted to pick up his suit.
The EU has deferred a decision several times, with members of the 15-nation bloc unable to see eye-to-eye on the arrangements and legal status of the militants. It failed again Friday to reach an agreement. It seems the divisive issue of status has been settled but disagreement continues over distribution of the 13 among six EU member states that have agreed to take them in. "The main difficulty over status has been resolved, and there are some other details left; it seems that we are heading for a final decision on Tuesday," said the spokesman. The cleaner looked at it, turned it over, looked at it again. Then he told the guy the bad news: "It'll be ready Tuesay."
However, it is not the first time Cyprus has been assured of a "swift decision" on the issue since the 13 were airlifted to the east Mediterranean island on May 10. Their stay was expected to be for only a few days, and the government had wanted them gone before the week was out. That's because it's not very important. They're not in the church, they're comfortable now, so what's the rush?

Despite vows that preparations for the promised polls are already going ahead, Palestinian officials stressed they will only be held when Israeli troops withdraw to the positions they were in before the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising in September 2000. Israel, which wants to see Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat replaced or sidelined, immediately slammed the condition as "an excuse" not to carry out reforms. Yeah, I must be pretty dumb. It's probably right there in front of my nose, but I just can't make out what the relationship is between internal Palestinian elections and anything Israel does or doesn't do.

Hamas is prepared to stop attacks on Israeli civilians if the Jewish state stops targeting Palestinians, the founder of the radical Palestinian movement said in published remarks. That's all Palestinians, everywhere, for whatever reason. Just because they're crazed killers doesn't mean they deserve some kind of punishment.
"We were the first to reject killing civilians. We had decided to comply with this policy, but the Israeli troops committed massacres against our people in Jenin and other areas," Sheikh Ahmad Yassin told Al-Jazira newspaper. "This made us retaliate against the Israelis by the same method," said Yassin. Y'see, they made us do it. It's not like we're capable of controlling our own actions or anything.
"Our movement is ready to stop military operations against Israeli civilian targets, under the condition that Israel stops targeting Palestinian civilians," he added. Lord knows, there are enough non-civilian Palestinians to target... Oh. All Palestinians are innocent civilians. No Israelis are.
Sheikh Yassin insisted that Hamas suicide bombings inside Israel are only a response to the killing of Palestinian civilians at the hands of Israeli troops. He regretted Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's description of the latest Palestinian suicide bombing near Tel Aviv as "terrorist", saying "It is not acceptable from any Palestinian." Yassin was referring to the May 7 bombing in Rishon Letsion which killed 16 people as well as the bomber. It's ummm... something else.
"We are not terrorists, nor do we seek bloodshed. We are after freedom for our people and land. We are defending ourselves and fighting is legitimate for us," Yassin said. "I mean, how could anybody be terrorized just because our members explode in crowded rooms without warning?"
Yassin's comments came two days after a Palestinian official said Hamas had told Saudi Arabia that it is willing to stop suicide bombings on Israeli territory. However a senior Hamas leader denied the claims. And now Yassin is verifying them. On again, off again, hell, you don't know from one day to the next, do you? And they don't, either.

Al-Watan (Kuwait), Editorial, May 10, 2002.
"Ever since the Israeli forces with their tanks and soldiers laid siege to the Palestinian refugee camps in order to liquidate Palestinian activists, particularly Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, they have surrounded Arafat in his quarters to mislead the world [into believing] that the leader is a danger and should be neutralized while, at the same time, allowing him to appear as a steadfast leader facing Israeli occupation." Who did? The Israelis? Is there something wrong with this translation?
"We see many scenes unfold in this show. We laugh incessantly at the second scene in which Arafat appears in sound but not in picture, repeating through the world's radios and televisions: 'They want to take me as a prisoner or as a dead man and I say, No! [You only take me as a] martyr, martyr martyr.'" Yeah, we had a chuckle at that, too...
"And the blood of the honest among his people flows in Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah and, and, and...!!" You mean the Bigs are never the ones who stop a bullet? You noticed that, too, huh?
"The show finishes and the siege on Arafat is lifted and he appears on the stage hoisting his famous insignia which at the end of every conspiracy carried out by this traitor, he presents on a golden tray to the Israelis and afterwards to the father of treasons and the destroyer of the nation's unity and the incessant striver towards its division, [none] other than the dictator Saddam Hussein." Yeah. Isn't it grand? And the Arabs keep sending him money. Go figger. Oh. You're trying to do that...?

A Palestinian political scientist who was once jailed for criticizing Yasser Arafat's leadership said Friday he will run against the Palestinian leader in upcoming elections. With news of possible elections only hours old, Abdel Sattar Qassem, 53, was the first to announce plans to run. "Yeah! Lemme at him! Lemme at him!"
While Qassem's candidacy might rally some of the growing discontent with Arafat, his chances of winning appeared slim. Arafat remains the symbol of the Palestinian people, and Qassem, a Western-educated sympathizer with Islamic militants, has no political power base. And if he starts getting one, his car will blow up...
Arafat's aides said Friday they were preparing for presidential and parliamentary elections within six months - a first in six years. In 1996, Arafat won 87 percent of the vote in a race against a 73-year-old social activist, Samiha Khalil, who was not considered a serious challenger. That's because those car insurance rates were already out of sight...
Qassem endorses bombing and shooting attacks by Islamic militant groups on Israel civilians. "As long as the Palestinian civilians are suffering as refugees in the camps for 54 years the Israeli civilians should suffer as well," he said. Well, yeah, of course. Revenge is very important, y'know...
"The president is so weak and has lost his popularity because of the worsening situation the people are living under," he said. "My main mission in the future will be serious work to rebuild this society." By having lots of people blow up.

"Hi. I'm Abdel Sattar Qassem. I'm running for dictator. Can I count on your vote?"
Islamabad Police on Wednesday arrested Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Amir of Jamaat al Dawa. Well, that is an encouraging sign...
Hafiz Saeed was taken into custody in December amid intense pressure from the United States and India following the fake attack drama of RAW on Indian Parliament that had killed 14 people. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed was released on court orders after three months of detention on March 31. How can it be a fake attack if it killed 14 people? He was taken into custody because he's the head of a major international terrorist organization. He was released because the Paks are either perfidious or stoopid.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is the person in Pakistan's history who unites and wakes the nation for Jihad against cruel Indian rule on poor Muslims of India. Previously Amir of Mujahid organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (or Medina/Pure/Pak Army) before banned it in January, along with other Jihadic groups. That's the way this guy makes his living. He's a professional jihadi.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed now leads a group called Jama'at-ad Da'awa Pakistan, or Party of Preachers, which aims to spread the word of Islam. They said that before. They intend to spread the word of Islam by having Lashkar kill anybody who doesn't want to be a Muslim, or who doesn't want to be their kind (wahhabi) of Muslim. The Jamaat is the "legitimate" local front organization for Lashkar and its kindred mercenary armies in Kashmir. They coordinate with Qazi Hussein Ahmed, of Jamaat-i-Islami.
The Dec. 13 attack on India's Parliament drama triggered the deployment of hundreds of thousands of Indian troops along its border with Pakistan on US support, and an official demand for Islamabad to stop supporting oppressed Muslims of Indian states of Gujarat and Kashmir. Since that's the cause of a good deal of the tensin in the area. Notice how they worked in Gujarat, though? We can expect to see a few Lashkar thugs bumped off in that area, which borders Pakistan coincidentally, and is nowhere close to Kashmir.
Pakistan trying to defend itself sending hundreds of thousands of its own troops to the border to match the Indian buildup. US is supplying arms and having military exercising with India makes it clear that both are playing a game to attack Pakistan. Guess even paranoids have enemies. Actually, India would probably be perfectly happy to attack Lashkar and its attendant Jamaat if Pakistan would just step back and look the other way.

A Sanaa court sentenced a 25-year-old Yemeni grocer to 10 years in jail for lobbing two grenades at the US embassy here on March 15. Samir Yahia Awadh, who pleaded not guilty to charges of "throwing two grenades against the wall of the embassy, endangering the lives of innocents and damaging the foreign relations of Yemen", broke into tears as judge Mohsen Alwan read out the verdict, the maximum penalty allowed under the law. I'll bet he did. They send Yemeni prisoners to Turkish prisons for good behavior...
Prosecutor Said al-Samet alleged that Awadh had admitted "having planned the operation two months earlier," and having acted alone "in solidarity with the Palestinians." However Awadh told the court the confession had been extracted under duress and his defence presented a medical report on his client's psychological condition, telling the court Awadh was mentally disturbed and suffered from schizophrenia. Hey, you can support the Palestinian cause and still be a nut. In fact, it helps.

Operation ''whirlwind-antiterror'' (a police codename for a set of measures aimed at tightening security around potential targets) that started in Dagestan after the May 9 terrorist act has yielded its first tangible result. On Thursday night, officers of the local Directorate for Fighting Extremism detained three people, who, according to operational data, had been preparing another terrorist act in the town. Servicemen of the Dagestani Interior Ministry said that a powerful landmine was seized from the criminals. Hokay. Got that part yesterday...
The operatives reported that the suspected terrorists were detained on the townâs central Lenin Street near a laundry â at exactly the same spot where the bomb went off on May 9. The suspects did not offer the police any resistance, but strongly objected to their detention, saying they had committed no crime. ''They said they had violated no laws and demanded that we release them immediately,'' a duty officer told Gazeta.Ru on Friday, ''But when doing so, they were all very on-edge. It was clear that they were not telling us everything.'' "Y'got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!"
When the police searched the carâs boot they found a military-issue MON-100 landmine complete with electrical detonator and a radio remote control. A similar landmine exploded in Kaspiisk during a military parade on May 9, killing 42 people and wounding over 100. The detainees said they had no idea how the landmine got in the boot. The interrogation went on throughout the night, but none of the three confessed to anything. "Landmine? Ummm... Not mine. Somebody musta left it there..."
The head of the Russian Federal Security Service Nikolai Patrushev, made an official statement, saying that those detained were not terrorists and that no terrorist act was planned. The FSB director claimed that the incident was connected to a settling of accounts between Kaspiisk criminal groups. It's crooks, rather than terrorists? With landmines? Where's the difference?
An employee in Dagestanâs government office commented on Patrushevâs statement saying: ''He is talking rubbish! What criminal settling of accounts can we talk about? This is complete nonsense.'' Officers of the Department for Fighting Extremism also said they considered the terrorist version as the most probable. The departmentâs director has declined to comment, saying only that an investigation was under way, but one of the officers said that they were working on the assumption that it was a planned terrorist act. They'd be pretty stoopid not to...
Asked how the operatives managed to detain the suspected criminals, the officer said the department had received operational data about a planned terrorist act. So they were looking for the bomb that these guys didn't know anything about, that somebody just left there.
The detained have already been identified, but their personal information has not been disclosed to the press in the interests of the investigation. Gazeta.Ru learned that one of those detained lives and works in Kaspiisk and another arrived in the town from the republicâs Botlevsky district. The third suspect (who the police believe was the leader of the group) works in the Dagestani Interior Ministry. His name is Rashid Djabrailov. There goes his pension...

On Saturday, combat engineers of the City Military Commandant's Office in Grozny, Chechnya, prevented a terrorist act. According to the commandant's office, they defused a home-made explosive device, which had been planted in a residential area. Experts believe that the explosion could have claimed many lives because the area is densely populated. The device has been destroyed. More background noise in Chechnya. With Khattab's death, they've got to keep the booms going for PR...

As a result of an operation conducted by federal forces in Chechnyaâs Argun Gorge, in the course of which several rebels were eliminated, several U.S. made M-16 assault rifles were found, a source in the operational headquarters reported on Saturday. One of the specialists in the headquarters told the press that seizing the American weapons shows that despite efforts by the federal forces and the border guards of neighbouring countries to block the borders, rebels still manage to buy weapons abroad and to bring them into Chechnya. It'd be pretty interesting to trace those, wouldn't it? Betcha there's some fellows in Moscow right now working on just that. And maybe some in Washington...

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.
