Sources in Islamabad said more than 8,000 Pakistani troops were stationed last week in the North and South Waziristan agencies. Their mandate is to seal the porous border with Afghanistan which according to Pakistani authorities has 46 major crossing points including Torkham and Chamman. The unfrequented routes run in hundreds. This is the same border they've been claiming is sealed tight for the past six months...
Informed sources disclosed these troops will conduct raids and ground attacks on targets identified by the American Central Command (CENTCOM) operations and cleared by the Pakistani military authorities. The CENTCOM is providing technical intelligence to direct this operation. Even if the Paks have the capabilities, they aren't using them. And going through the Pak military will allow them to shortstop some calls and compromise as many of the others as they can get away with.
"The tribal leaders have not only permitted access to Pakistan army personnel but have also assured Islamabad of help in tracking down Al Qaeda and Taliban members who found refuge there," these sources said. Uhuh. I believe it. Now, about those lots in Florida I was telling you about...

A US special forces soldier killed in eastern Afghanistan was shot dead in an ambush by suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban forces. Major Bryan Hilferty refused to identify the soldier, who is understood to be the first special forces member to be killed in combat here since the massive Operation Anaconda which ended in March. "We returned fire, killing one enemy. Unfortunately one American was killed and one of our Afghan allies was wounded." RIP, Brother.

U.S. warplanes on Monday attacked an Iraqi air-defense radar in response to threats against American and British jets policing a "no-fly" zone in southern Iraq, the Pentagon said. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold told a news briefing U.S. warplanes used precision-guided weapons to attack an aircraft-directional finding site. All of the planes departed the area safely and there was no immediate assessment of damage to the target, he said. The target was located at as-Salman, about 170 miles south of Baghdad. Another routine whack.

In Daghestan, an attempt to set up a camp for training militants has been foiled. A special operation netted two suspects who were found carrying 6 Shmel grenade launchers, a Kalashnikov automatic rifle, five grenades and 400 grams of TNT. On Sunday another person was detained. He had with him a topographical map with the inscription "General Staff. Restricted Use", a Kenwood radio station, as well as Wahhabi literature and audiocassettes. All the detained men were from a group which had previously been tasked with establishing a militant-training camp outside Khasavyurt, near Chechnya's eastern border. The late Khattab was head of the Islamic Army of Dagestan. Al-Walid will want to continue with that little project, with himself as Emir.

The police have discovered a cache with explosives and ammunition at the Chechen capital's airport Severny. The cache contained the total of nine trotyl blocks equaling 3.2 kg and eight bombs, said the press service of the North-Caucasian Interior Department. This is part of the background noise of terrorism — a bunch of guys in turbans (well, figuratively, anyway) sitting around and saying, "Hey! Let's blow up an airplane." Just doing a quick scan, there are lots more incidents like this every week in Chechnya than there are in Afghanistan, by a long shot.

Akhmad Kadyrov, head of the Chechen administration, thinks that one of terrorist leaders Shamil Basayev, despite reports of his death, is still alive. Kadyrov told this to journalists on Monday in Grozny. He said he did not have information about the death of the Chechen field commander. It has earlier been repeatedly said that Basayev had died from the effects of serious wounds he received in combat. But no precise data confirming this fact was furnished, Kadyrov emphasised. Basayev has been reported dead several times before, once when he lost his foot and part of his leg in a minefield, another time when he lost an eyes. If he happens to be toes up this time, that would be a serious one-two whack at the Chechen insurgency.

Two Chechen rebels have been killed in a clash with servicemen of the Russian Interior Ministry. The skirmish took place in the Shali district near the village of Avtury. A reconnaissance unit of the Russian Interior Force came under hostile small-arms and rocket-launcher fire. Three soldiers were wounded. The unit opened return fire leaving two rebels dead. More background noise — just another dirty ambush.

One policemen has been killed and two heavily wounded in a terror act in North Ossetia, North Caucasus. As RIA Novosti knows from the republican interior ministry, the explosion went off seven kilometres off the village of Chermen, North Ossetia's Prigorsky district, blowing up a GAS-2410 car. The car was carrying three policemen of the second battalion for guarding the administrative border with Chechnya, who were employed in ensuring security of the sowing campaign. Nikolai Kortyayev died of wounds at the scene. Miroslav Sagkayev and Alimbek Gabarayev were taken to hospital in a grave condition. An investigating group, which involves sappers, found out that it was an anti-tank mine equivalent to six kilogrammes of TNT. Investigators believe the mine was planted not long before the incident since nothing had obstructed the motorway traffic throughout Sunday.

One Russian serviceman died, another three soldiers were wounded in an explosion of an armoured personnel carrier. The APC exploded on a radio-controlled land mine in Chechnya. According to the regional staff of the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, the mine went off in Gudermes. An APC belonging to the Military Commandant's office exploded when patrolling the town streets. A search operation for those responsible and an investigation into the case have already been launched.

Facing a strong counterattack from the Bush administration, some legislators on Sunday moderated their criticism of the inability of the White House and intelligence agencies to piece together hints last summer and grasp the nature of the terrorist threat ahead of the Sept. 11 attacks. "Ouch! Hey! No fair! They're whackin' us back! Make 'em stop, Mom!"
A bitter public partisanship, largely forsworn by the political parties since the attacks, suddenly returned to Washington. But by Sunday, much of the criticism â and not just from Democrats â appeared to be settling at a level lower than the White House, concentrated on the FBI and CIA and on communication failures that President George W. Bush and those agencies have moved to address. Cheney offended many Democrats on Thursday by urging them not to "seek political advantage by making incendiary suggestions" that might aid U.S. enemies. The suggestion that the president could have prevented the attacks, Cheney said Sunday, with barely concealed anger, "strikes me as beyond the pale." "Be offended and be damned!"
"I never, ever, ever thought that anybody, including the president, did anything up to 9/11 other than their best," Representative Dick Gephardt, the House Democratic leader, said on Fox-TV. "The question is, how do we do better?" "What did he know and when did he know it?"
The White House confirmed Wednesday that Bush was briefed Aug. 6 about a threat that U.S. planes might be hijacked. But Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, said Sunday that the briefing memo had been an analytical paper with "nothing fresh in it," a simple summary of "tactics that Al Qaeda might use." The CIA briefing memo is reported to have warned that Osama bin Laden wanted his Al Qaeda militant group to attack targets inside the United States. The administration has emphasized that most intelligence warnings pointed to a greater likelihood of overseas attacks. This followed an earlier intergovernmental study saying that terrorists might fly airplanes into the Pentagon or other buildings, and a report from an FBI agent in Phoenix, Arizona, last summer that Al Qaeda might be training pilots in a plot to hijack planes. The FBI was also investigating an suspect in Minneapolis who wanted to learn how to fly jumbo jets but not how to land them. Use a bit of imagination and you can come up with lots of other horrid scenarios, just like they do on the news shows. "Might want to" and "are gonna" are two different things.

Sounds like Should'a, Would'a, Could'a quarterbacking to me! Don't these people realise just how much verification the higher-ups demand before you can sweep down on these terrorists? Funny I remember some of these officials are the same ones who demanded this type of verification in order to protect our Rights?

Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright yesterday criticized President Bush's foreign policy as ''bipolar'' and said she doubted Bush's claim that he did not know of a 1999 report raising the possibility of hijacked planes being used as terrorist weapons. Addressing graduates of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Albright stressed her support for Bush's fight against terrorism but chastised him for not acting sooner to mediate the ''incredible mess'' between Israel and the Palestinians. Ummm... As far as I know, it's not our country and we weren't invited. When the Man from Hope jumped through hoops to leave a Legacy, Yasser told him to get bent. When the Faire Madeleine went chasing after a huffy Yasser in her pumps he flipped her the bird and went home to supervise the exploding.
''On some important issues, the Bush foreign policy team seems to be suffering from untreated bipolar disorder,'' Albright said. ''This split personality is also evident in Afghanistan, where one day they are ridiculing nation-building and the next proposing a new Marshall Plan; and in the Middle East, where the signals they have sent have varied day by day.'' 'Course that means the situation on the ground could have been changing day by day, and that when they tried one thing and it didn't work, they moved on to another thing.
Albright, the former top diplomat in the Clinton administration, minced no words as she departed from her predecessors' custom of remaining publicly neutral on the performance of a previous administration. Albright, who was the first female secretary of state, is now teaching at Georgetown University. Nobody in the Clinton administration seemed too hot for the idea of following rules and precendents, did they?
At a news conference before her commencement address to the class of 189 graduates, Albright said she does not blame the Bush administration for not preventing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Mighty daggone big of her!

The biggest thing that the US has allowed to happen in the past year in Israel/Palestine is to allow both parties to realize that there is a downside to not negotiating. Before 2001 the Palestinians obviously failed to realize that there is a "time for war and a time for peace". The last series of Israeli West Bank operations may, perhaps, have dispelled the false assumption that randomly killing Jews is something that can be done with impunity. Albright never realized that carrots taste better because of the lack of appeal of the stick option. But she and WJC never really were into sticks as policy options, unless the target of the stick was such isolated nutcases like Baby Doc Duvalier and Slobo Milosevich.

Home Minister LK Advani on Monday said the Government would have to change its strategy in dealing with the proxy war being waged by Pakistan and asserted "we will win the battle". "The Government is of firm belief that the way we are retaliating will have to be changed," Advani said while inaugurating a charity centre here. He said any decision in this regard would be taken in close consultation with the armed forces. Referring to the way the government is tackling the situation, Advani said "the issue was debated by Parliament on the last day of the budget session. On that basis and in consultations with army, the government would go ahead and win the proxy war like we did in 1971." Counterinfiltrating would make a lot more sense than nuclear war. It's a little hard on the counterinfiltrators, but it can be effective if the controllers aren't squeamish.

Indian and Pakistani forces traded heavy fire across their frontier for a fourth day on Monday, fanning fears that escalating tensions between the nuclear-capable neighbors could push them into war. Despite signs India was preparing for conflict, most analysts said New Delhi was likely to exhaust all diplomatic channels before taking any military action. Analysts also said Washington, which relies on Pakistan as a vital ally in its war on terror and has U.S. troops there, would pile pressure on both sides to act with restraint. To my mind, India's been acting with restraint in this regard. Also to my mind, it would be to the U.S. advantage for India to tromp all over Pakland and its terrorist factories, regardless of any fragile â and ineffective â "alliance" we have with the Paks.

In anticipation of a possible attack or any forward movement by the Indian army, Pakistan has installed Shaheen missiles — which have a range of 750 kilometres — at appropriate points. It has also informed world powers, including US, that if India resorts to any adventure, Pakistan will have every right to use all options at its disposal, says The Nation. Islamabad also assured the world leaders that primarily it believes in dialogue and if even then India continues provocative moves, Pakistan will use all options for the security of its land. In that case, it will be an unlimited war. Pakistan, even under the relatively reasonable Musharraf, still seems hell-bent on suicide. It sounds suspiciously like they consider nukes a weapon of first resort, rather than last.

The Pakistan People's Party's acting secretary-general, Mian Raza Rabbani, has said the external threat facing the country needed the setting up of a national government immediately so that the country could meet the internal and external challenges collectively. In reply to a question, Mr Rabbani said whenever there had been dictatorship in the country, tension had risen on the borders, and now also India got the advantage of an unelected government in Pakistan. He claimed that in the present trying circumstances only a towering international personality and calibre of Benazir Bhutto could steer the country out of the crisis. These nitwits are standing on the edge of a nuclear holocaust and they're trying to gain local political advantage from it.

KARACHI, May 19: The city sizzled on Thursday as the temperature rose to 42.7 degrees Centigrade and the transmission and distribution system of the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation collapsed at various places in the city. Sources in the KESC blamed Sunday's temperature for the prolonged and intermittent power failures which plagued the lives of the Karachiites. Go ahead. Rattle nuclear weapons at India and any other "threats" near you. You can't even keep the power on in a major city.

Pakistan called for increased international efforts to make India "see reason" and begin negotiations as war clouds gathered over the two countries. Perhaps Pakland could "see reason" and stamp out the cross-border terrorism originating on its side of the border. That would go a long way toward making India "see reason" and not invade them over it.
"We hope the international community will increase further its efforts considering the hostile postures adopted by India and convince India to see reason and come to the negotiating table for discussions and dialogue," said foreign ministry spokesman Aziz Ahmed Khan. They only negotiate with domestic lunatics.
Asked at a news conference whether he thought war was imminent between the nuclear-armed neighbours, he said he was not in the business of "fortune-telling". Khan's comments came as Indian and Pakistani troops fought a fourth day of artillery duels across the de facto border in the disputed state of Kashmir. The border skirmishes erupted after India blamed Pakistan-based guerrillas for an attack last Tuesday in Jammu, the Kashmiri winter capital, that killed 35 people, mostly wives and children of soldiers. Not being a "fortune teller," he can't quite see the connection between the artillery duels and the dead women and kiddies.
At least 10 people have been killed and more than 50 injured on the Pakistani side of the border since Friday, while Indian officials put their own toll at two dead, 23 injured and more than 12,000 people displaced. If war does erupt, it was a set-up by the jihadis, and the contributing factor was Pakland's own stupidity in supporting them.
President General Pervez Musharraf has called a meeting Wednesday of his cabinet and the National Security Council (NSC), a top decision-making body, to review the escalation of border tensions. Information Minister Nisar Memon said the president would also consult political leaders "to take the nation into confidence regarding the situation arising out of the recent escalation of tension on the borders". Maybe they should be working out something to defuse the tensions? Wouldn't that make at least a little bit of sense?
A government official told AFP that United States Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was also due to arrive here early next month. If there's anywhere left to arrive...
Armitage's trip closely follows US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Christina Rocca's visit to Pakistan and India last week in search of ways to avert "dangerous confrontation" between rival nuclear neighbours. Her arrival was the occasion for the attack. If hostilities haven't started by the time Armitage arrives, expect another one of at least the same magnitude.

Moscow has backed New Delhi's legitimate right for a fitting response to terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and has urged the US to press Pakistan to fulfil its promise for a crackdown on militants on its soil. In a telephonic conversation with US Secretary of State Colin Powell, Ivanov expressed concern over the heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the Kaluchak massacre, a Russian Foreign Ministry statement said.
Earlier, on Friday the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko, publicly upheld India's 'absolutely just and legitimate right' for action against terrorism in the wake of Kaluchak carnage and promised Moscow's help to New Delhi in anti-terror combat. Yakovenko, however, had said that an 'open war' was highly undesirable due to its security and stability consequences extending beyond the regional boundaries.

The Iranian border security forces killed two Pakistanis inside their border in the early hours of Sunday, official sources said. The incident took place near Mand. "The Iranian authorities handed over the bodies of two Pakistanis at the Mand border," an administrative officer of Mand said, while contacted. Both the Pakistanis, who belonged to Turbat District of Makran division, were identified as Khan Mohammad and Shah Mohammad. The Iranian border security authorities claimed that both men crossed into their territory illegally without traveling documents. They were signaled to stop but they did not. Then the Iranian border guards opened fire and killed them, Pakistani border official said. According to another report Iranian border authorities arrested 33 Pakistanis who were trying to enter into Iran illegally from Taftan border. They were handed over to Pakistani authorities, sources said. Smugglers? Or doing a little infiltration?

The IDF arrested a young Palestinian woman in Tulkarm Monday, on suspicion that she was planning to carry out a suicide bombing inside Israel. The woman was arrested by soldiers, who entered the town after receiving a tip off from the Shin Bet security service. The woman is the second from Tulkarm to be arrested by the IDF in recent weeks. "He's a lemming. He does cliffs. I'm a Palestinian. I do explosives."

Families of 13 vacationing exiled Palestinian snuffies protested Monday opposite Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity against plans to disperse their menfolk among several European countries. Oh, fate worse than death!
Fatima Abayat, 65-year-old mother of Ibrahim Abayat, told Reuters: "We want our sons to stay together, not be sent to different countries." "I mean, how are you gonna carry out big-time assassination operations and bombings and extortion and stuff if you can only do business by phone and computer?"
Families erected a large white marquee in Manger Square opposite the church. Dozens of people sat inside while children held up photographs of their fathers. Banners attached to the tent said: "Our sons are heroes, not criminals." "One man's hero is another man's crazed killer," as Reuters might say.
In Cyprus, the European Union's Middle East envoy, Miguel Moratinos, said a deal on dispersing the militants was within reach, but final word would come from Brussels Tuesday. "We are continuing our efforts to finalize this sensitive issue. We are very close to an end," he told reporters as EU representatives held more discussions. This is a very important issue, right up there with cheese standards. Well, maybe not quite that high, but up there.
The 13 are being held in a hotel in the Cyprus resort of Larnaca. Where they can ogle half-naked babes on the beach and abuse room service.

A Palestinian blew himself up near a police patrol in northern Israel Monday in the second suicide bombing in less than 24 hours, but killed only himself, police said. The blast, one day after a suicide bomber killed three people in the coastal city of Netanya, raised fears of a new wave of suicide bombings after a lull in violence that world leaders have been trying to build on to revive peace efforts. The incident occurred at about 7:20 a.m. near a bus stop at Taanachim Junction in the southern Galilee area when a tall man wearing jeans and sports shoes tried to board a bus picking up workers who were going to a nearby factory. When told it was a private bus, he disembarked but suspicious passengers alerted the police by mobile phone, police sources said. The man detonated his explosives when two members of a police patrol approached him and asked for his identity papers. Like I always say, if you're not standing too close it's kinda fun watching them explode...

A bomb killed the son of Palestinian guerrilla leader Ahmed Jibril in Beirut on Monday, ripping through a car and tearing him to shreds, Lebanese security and Palestinian political sources said. "It was Jihad, God rest his soul," an official of Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) said at the scene of the blast in Beirut. He was referring to Mohammad Jihad Ahmed Jibril, who was born in 1961. Ah, the old exploding car trick! Used to be a favorite passtime in Beirut, didn't it?
The explosion in the Lebanese capital's Mar Elias district scattered body parts around the car and left it twisted and doused with blood, witnesses said. Yup. That's usually what happens...
Jihad Jibril was part of the group's military leadership and members of the organization swiftly pointed a finger at Israel. "Israel is behind any bomb attack on any Lebanese, Arab or Palestinian," Abu Rushdi, a PFLP-GC official, told Reuters. "Our response is to continue our struggle against Israel." What was it before he exploded?
An aide to Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer denied his country was involved. "Israel had no connection to it," Yarden Vatikay said. "As usual, they blame Israel." Well, if they did do it, there's only one thing I can say: "Bullseye!"

According to the report, published Monday in the London-based Al Hayat daily, Rajoub arrived in Cairo alone. The paper quoted a source saying that Rajoub's trip abroad may be "extended" and that his trip may mean he is leaving the Palestinian Authority.

Police have killed a Muslim extremist guerrilla commander involved in nearly a dozen kidnappings, including an American missionary couple who have been held for nearly a year. A police officer shot Sahinun Hapilon, a mid-ranking leader of the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group, during a scuffle in the southern city of Zamboanga where plain-clothes police had tried to arrest him. Hapilon was one of three brothers who have headed Abu Sayyaf rebels in Lantawan, on Basilan island, where the rebels are believed to be holding Martin and Gracia Burnham. The couple, from Kansas, were kidnapped along with 18 other people from a resort last May. Hapilon, who had a reward of 150,000 pesos (£2,000) on his head, was identified after his death by a number of people, including a former hostage and a former Abu Sayyaf guerrilla. The rebel leader was apparently in Zamboanga to buy firearms and ammunition for the Abu Sayyaf, the target of a US-backed military offensive. He's not in the same category as Khattab or Basayev, but he's still better off decomposing.

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.
