"The operational plan still needs approval by the Council (of EU ministers) but I do not see any problems now," said the unnamed diplomat. France has pledged to deploy at least 1,350 troops and the Irish Defense Forces are to send a further 450. Austria, Greece, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Sweden are to make further contributions. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x9TOjYUVdrDmNk1kzdciiBnADUaeGg-ADrg5_K1 ArmWI8MLy_tv6k162PyYHpeo1VfRBurM7ZNk59Sjp6PHTzGcVvWvUyi1iK-3cJj6iulJ3Xufr_CF 264VTtTPAH53tT0=> [read more] Asia: Suicide Attacks Put Pakistan on High Alert News.com.au/AFP Pakistani <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x9NsepU9600WebgaeElJO4P5zK3byixZv2GJj8m IqMb1x_dZnQHHKBHDFsLBzosn8D8Vo5K9U2OXgcM_jc66RU52eExk2b_vwpOlf2LRTDa1eeZxkcA Bwx4jUXsCYbPF5e_dRHbata2cBX1RYBfTmZuO4jICDggI-JnJGN-1lKXTg==> investigators say "tribal" elements were behind a suicide attack which killed 22 policemen, as security forces went on high alert for the holy month of Moharram.

As many as 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam for the purpose of funding, planning and carrying out surprise terror attacks inside the UK, according to one MI5 source. Lord Carlile, the Government's independent reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation, said many of the converts had been targeted by radical Muslims while serving prison terms. Security experts say the growing secret army of white terrorists poses a particularly serious threat as they are far less likely to be detected than members of the Asian community. Since the 7/7 and 21/7 London bombings, police and intelligence services have had considerable success in identifying, disrupting and stopping extremist plots.

The air attack along the Tigris River "was one of the largest airstrikes since the onset of the war" in 2003, said Maj. Alayne Conway, a spokeswoman for troops in the Multi-National Division-Center, which controls the broad swath of territory south of Baghdad. The attack was part of a nationwide campaign launched Tuesday against al-Qaeda in Iraq. Conway said 35 al-Qaeda militants were killed and 25 houses and 13 vehicles were destroyed. The air raid was followed by a ground attack that led to 12 arrests and the discovery of two houses used to torture kidnap victims, according to an Iraqi officer who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak. "What we are doing now is taking the fight to the enemy," said Col. James Adams, the deputy brigade commander for 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division...The operation, called "Phantom Phoenix," is the third in a series of recent Iraq-wide offensives against al-Qaeda. That makes the past six months the heaviest uptick in offensive operations since the 2004 battles in Fallujah and the Shiite shrine city of Najaf. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x_e8AERgGAQ5mqeNrt5Ez4w5jukVZf-zonQ67QW qQFVlnVRzLjn4cxV-f58OtHKRBQB7w23LZHZ7sc0bgrE26otanDu4z8rDudCHqdMTyxcwpMAvHFP 1DVHsLB06RPWsDHTG-n6p54kbg==> [read more] North America: 3 Convicted in Islamic Charity Trial Yahoo! News/AP Three former leaders of an Islamic charity were convicted Friday of duping the US government into getting tax-exempt status by hiding the group's pro-jihad activities. Care International Inc., which is now defunct, described its mission as helping war orphans, widows and refugees in Muslim nations. But prosecutors said the organization also distributed a newsletter promoting jihad and supported Muslim militants involved in armed conflicts around the world. Emadeddin Muntasser, the founder of Care International; Muhammed Mubayyid, the group's former treasurer; and Samir Al-Monla, the president of Care from 1996 to 1998, were charged with tax code violations, making false statements and conspiracy to defraud the United States. After a two-month trial and more than two weeks of deliberations, a federal jury found them guilty on all counts, except a false statements count on which Al-Monla was acquitted. Each of the charges carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x9rUSCBPLdRVGbKj29Kom4v07y0yssylTYiyCxv HUfiU1XlWJDWve3z7rUVgODYUVt2F317uiO4E3sqvmlogQTTBCZAwrbjLcLdy0Kj1FAVQxecuxf3 dtnPsfCJ881Rd-wy4T3vqZsu6A==> [read more] South America: Colombian Rebels Release Two Hostages News.com.au/Reuters Marxist rebels freed two women hostages from Colombia's jungle in a deal brokered by Venezuela's leftist president, Hugo Chavez, that could mark a breakthrough in peace efforts.

Hundreds of civilians have evacuated to safer places, according to the town police. The incident in 2000 triggered the armed conflict between government and MILF forces, which constrained former president Joseph Estrada to declare an "all out war" against the MILF. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x_8AD-fwnpuUpP7_e2BAW_GIOd6D0Ky9PPVbGC1 RP3o8eqF53udBLE31rM4TLSj7NLAvGIaIJQrE2frknCpTxHE1nzM2aHS750Ma4OEdlADeJvZh6G3 7xBZo40lHJ_ra4UE3xiQzxkMvg==> [read more] Commentary Can an American President Be a Muslim Apostate? Frank Salvato, New Media Journal As the primary season finally gets started the issue of Barack Obama's religion takes the stage once again. While there are some aspects of his religious affiliations that cause legitimate concern, the contention that he is a danger because he practiced Islam as a child, under the guidance of his father and then his step-father, is being overblown for what it is not and ignored for what it is....But, as Islamic scholar Daniel Pipes points out in his recent article, Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x-jxJ4HkObIibwRHwjVavnbNUYbEHdJkb-um4TE lUNz5ol-f_0Whew-PIYDkPHcjeHasmVVUAWiLMtL62y39TEqLDx_HQiTIbDwrtgpFWzVfiFemM1Y HmAAdvh9QlYPXth-JvQM9juFGUq24bdANuZT_BcNo3ZNpGx8v3n3G2UKQt5Gc-A1OP6drkjE-Awn GfadYyxqmHbJKg==> , Barack Obama did in fact practice Islam as a child. True, most of us, as children, are guided by our parents in the ways of religion, taking up the faiths of our mothers and fathers, but a choice later in life to deviate from their religious beliefs does not nullify the fact that we once attended the churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. sanctioned by our parents. To this extent, Barack Obama did practice Islam and was subjected to the fundamental tenets of the ideology. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x8nXvgfIPW9njI9sk13z5KPwuQHQf6Ut4lGCvLE rOAS5JQtSzKCFbKvp4Feomc0swYjkWkfG43KADV5J-RRnKQB1ECuWu78POSQJOOd_iBtHgP9Qfle cu_SHPTr0mKKY-nCsr7VH8d3Ww==> [read article] Spotlight Bin Laden Identifies Saudi Arabia as the Enemy of Mujahedeen Unity Michael Scheuer, Jamestown Foundation Osama bin Laden's latest message is one of the richest, most comprehensive and starkly realistic he has issued since the start of the Iraq war. The following essay is the first of two that will analyze the message and offer an assessment of its importance. This essay considers al-Qaeda's dour recognition of its inability to control post-occupation events in Iraq as a small vanguard organization and a non-Iraqi presence in the country. The second part of this article will examine bin Laden's confidence that al-Qaeda has accomplished its main goal in Iraq: establishing a base from which to project its influence and military power into the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula. <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x-tx83lyrFkdOng80s9DB2uRMiXAs9PG7-BVAzh JqWgg-CN1cE_PuzqOPc_3Wj6F6__XDkI5Ce_Tpb4kqfZYW0oGB-orujyVsnBIYeDoAGINppkr_67 GgdkDIHwYfeUNjuigHCaeYq5rw==> [read article] Advertisement <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x9E7C7_oBcsEi0gqRAYlHEsrOqK2AmpEJULxhMW UB8haOcRNumaobmdVGVuzhSIOaF-xa4C6b0LOjGDKvrqatVQfEdzOpbS50938NBSC69hxEX0U53X VJqU9ISU0q6GhiDAmnFHNmixaSj-eeTzPaR65-Gj4pssA5CASn2lbi6RAUty9gqA9oZyTKTkAUlj 7Mdmd89ZTV0hBA==> Acknowledgments United American Committee <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x-yvd0JlWFs_2NTtLUn8M2-q38zFs2K29CX86WA DdCqCoBmNsJ3hDkjyc5KehWrL86HuN7tF_qDtJ6-W9cEuhKrMMEeVDAicokPooil6kUlG8RXdToe Hvmp5y72TsBadXo=> Educating the citizenry on the threats facing our nation B <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x9wFyF7bkFXK-_GMCFAoEHAGv42JhJjOkmS2Zte 1NSi-_csN5qNHOVMoxQzrtMfI4aNrDJFzDcE2odIDIkvVgpWHzTIhK8-mGFcblVG5k-TAw==> 'Nai Elim An activist organization dedicated to the protection and defense of the Jewish people Outback Kodiak <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x-Up9ZTMBReXGa8Eq1Fq93QEPsQqCd5KsfL57d5 vXBDZYlIziXW8S7sVACUETFp8SzDadVB3zOs1ZLSaMFNd5PFNueYPDHrzH6dXLRR6ucUKg==> The best in Alaskan adventure vacations The New Media Journal <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001yQAN133R1x-2xQiw7Yme1MjoB52s3s9XjNqdjD_wUnurCI_d tqyJXapvye6G6GJg04cqQ4RMXejokqH7hDz9azT-oCcizszefalqkLWt9cSoiISaN5AtuBnl5Qzf hor4> Researched Opinion.
