Iraqi woman recruited army of female suicide bombers by having them raped… then told them martyrdom was only way to escape shame
By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 11:18 AM on 05th February 2009An Iraqi woman allegedly recruited female suicide bombers by having them raped - then persuading them martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame.
Samira Ahmed Jassim, who is also known by the nickname ‘Umm al-Mumineen’ (the mother of believers), is believed to be responsible for persuading more than 80 women to join her cause.
She has been arrested by the military and was shown confessing in a video played for reporters at a press conference in Baghdad.
The mother of all believers: Samira Ahmed Jassim, pictured in a detention facility in Baghdad yesterday, has been arrested on suspicion of recruiting 80 female suicide bombers
Dressed in an all-encompassing black Islamic robe, she described how she would persuade the women to be bombers, then escort them to an orchard for insurgent training and finally pick them up and lead them to their targets.
She said she was acting on behalf of insurgents based in the volatile Diyala province, north of Baghdad.
Iraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the suspect had recruited more than 80 women willing to carry out attacks and had admitted masterminding 28 bombings in different areas.
The number of bombings carried out by women has spiked even as overall violence has declined, and U.S. commanders have warned insurgents are actively trying to find more recruits.
The use of female suicide bombers is part of a shift in insurgent tactics to avoid detection at U.S.-Iraqi military checkpoints that have become ubiquitous in Iraq as part of increased security measures.
Iraqi women often are allowed to pass through male-guarded checkpoints without being searched, and they traditionally wear flowing black robes that make it easier to hide explosives belts.

British Guantanamo inmate to be returned to UK as hunger strike brings him ‘close to death’.
Good grief Charlie Brown. This island doesn’t have enough problems. On the other hand, we won’t have to deal with it in the US.
Oh heaven forbid we let him actually starve. Which could be a bad idea come to think about it. He’d then become a martyr. They’d do a play based on his worthless life. Why not? I think (?) there was a play based on Bobby Sands. IRA terrorist.
That headline btw is VERY misleading. He IS NOT a Brit. Why does the msm do this kind of thing? He was a “resident” so he may have been a Brit resident.
But the headline reads otherwise. I’ve noticed they do that a lot.
Anyway ... Brit liberals wanted us to close Guantanamo and OB is trying to do that. So now they are about to get one of these guys.
He’s a “student” at 30? Night school? What’s his subject I wonder. Chemistry? Bombs 101?
I do not like these folks, I do not trust them. Many Brits don’t either and I have a feeling that it’s being done without any thought given to public safety or even what the public wants.
Is this guy innocent? Guilty? I really don’t know. But I am pretty certain that anyone can make a claim of “torture” and the left will pick it up and run with it.
They’ll damn the Americans and assume automatically that Americans are doing something wrong and not being truthful. They will assume our guilt and tell a world of sheep that the US is in violation of this and that, and our enemies will eat it all up while planning their next attack.
I should be careful least I give the wrong idea. I have not done any sort of survey and am not in a position to do that if I could. I base my opinion on what I hear from ppl and most of what I hear sure does not approve of bringing these folks here.
British Guantanamo inmate to be returned to UK as hunger strike brings him ‘close to death’
By Richard Shears
Last updated at 6:50 PM on 01st February 2009UK resident Binyam Mohamed claims he only confessed to being a terrorist under torture.
A British resident said to be just ‘skin and bone’ and close to death in the notorious Guantanamo Bay camp is to be flown back to the UK within days.
West London student Binyam Mohamed, 30, who has been on a hunger strike since January 5 after being held in the prison camp for four years, has collapsed several times in recent days.
His immediate repatriation to Britain is being arranged as US authorities face a political row should a British fatality occur in the prison.
Lieutenant Colonel Yvonne Bradley, an American military lawyer who last week saw Mohamed in his cell - where he has been kept under solitary confinement - described how he was wasting away.
‘The real worry is that he comes out in a coffin,’ she said.
The case of Ethiopian-born Mohamed has been fraught with difficulties for both the British Government and the Americans.
He claims that while he confessed to being an al-Qaeda terrorist, the admission was forced from him under torture.
Among the false admissions extracted by a torture team, he says, was that he had plotted a radioactive bomb attack on the US. And while he had gone to Afghanistan, it was to try to kick his drug habit and find out whether the Taliban had a good Islamic government.
Although President Obama has resolved to close Guantanamo within a year and find countries that will be willing to accept the prisoners, Mohamed decided not to spend another 12 months in the prison and has kept up his hunger strike for more than three weeks.
He became a temporary resident in Britain at the age of 15 in 1994 when he sought political asylum. He was told he could remain in the country until his case was resolved.
But in 2002 he was captured in Pakistan while trying to return to London on a false British passport.
Mohamed has told his lawyers that MI5 were aware of his torture - and along with his imminent release a judicial review in the High Court will determine whether the British Government has an obligation to hand over documents that could support his claims of ill treatment.
His hunger strike and pressure on the government over the torture claims has now led to the decision to fly him back to Britain. His British lawyer, Mr Clive Stafford Smith, says he understands that Mohamed’s release is ‘imminent’.
The decision to return him to the UK flies in the face of Foreign Secretary David Milliband’s insistence last week that Britain would refuse to accept any more terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay.
Britain has taken in 13 former inmates - almost half of the 27 that have been returned to the EU - and Mr Milliband said that the country had ‘done its bit’.

This is what happens to a country that doesn’t have baseball
American kids have baseball cards. Football and basketball cards too, I’m sure. But not the kids in Gaza. They’ve got nothing. Nobody. So, like that deck of cards we had during the early part of the Iraqi war, they collect martyrs.
See? Kids are the same the world over. Hey, do you think they get a little anti-zionist comic in each one, and if they save up enough, they can trade them in for a suicide vest?
Some were killed when tank shells hit their homes. Others died when bombs erased their offices. Still others met their end battling Israeli troops.
Now their faces are rolling off the presses at the Nibras print shop, which produces full-color posters and banners of the dead. In the wake of Israel’s 22-day Gaza offensive — which killed nearly 1,300 Palestinians — it’s one of the few businesses experiencing a postwar boom.
Islamic Jihad fighter Mohammed Bedawi was among the so-called “martyrs” whose demise was commemorated with a custom-made poster — a tradition for anyone killed by Israel.
“The drone hit him,” said his cousin, Abed Bedawi, 21, referring to Israel’s unmanned surveillance planes, often seen in Gaza’s skies. “He was laying a bomb for a tank when the drone fired a missile at him.”
Before the war, about 30 percent of the print shop’s orders were for martyr posters, co-owner Ahmed al-Hor said; the rest were for things like shop signs and labels for products like tomato sauce, soap and baby food. Now, posters of the dead are 90 percent of his business.
I thought I’d have to make this shit up. Nope. It’s real. We had Bazooka Joe, they’ve got RPG Sayeed. Son of a gun. Literally.
“These are new ones here, all one family,” said 26-year-old printer Mahmoud Istewi, pulling up computer images to send to the shop’s industrial printer to make into a huge plastic banner.
It’s not like the kids don’t try to get the full collection. It’s just that the little tykes are going broke buying the cards, because that damned IDF keeps coming out with an expansion set every couple of weeks! So instead of teams, they’ve got categories.
“Hassan, Hassan, look, I’ve got the entire Predator collection! Totally complete and up to date!! And I’ve got the deluxe Sniper Team expansion pack!”
Fooooossssssh ..... BOOM!!
“Aww donkey turds, now I have to start all over again.”
Hey, do you think they have stats on the back too? Bombs placed, zionists killed, goats molested, women stoned, that sort of thing? Do little Paleoswinian kids run around arguing statistics about their martyr heroes like we did with ball players?

mrs. clinton vows new era will end obsession with threats. (bet the enemy will love to hear that)
Meanwhile, Al-Qaeda (spelling?) spokesman has called for new attacks upon the UK.
Well, I sure hope someone here is “obsessed” with threats against this country. What’s wrong with a bit of obsession? I like that and paranoia too. Cause I know they’re out there and I do believe what I hear them say. Or more precisely what I read that they say. And they say they’re out to get us. Why should I doubt them?
Take heart guys. Do not be discouraged. She could always get hit by a bus or maybe get bit by a rabid squirrel.
This is Alice in Wonderland. I feel this deep depression settling in on me. I wasn’t actually afraid of Bill. But this person does put a fright in me. And that’s just when I look at her photos.
I guess we’ll see in time, as it will surely tell. Oh Boy! Will It!
Hillary Clinton vows to end paranoia of George Bush era
Hillary Clinton, the new secretary of state, has stamped her imprint on US foreign policy by saying she wouldn’t be worrying exclusively about the safety of the nation.
By Alex Spillius in Washington
Last Updated: 8:25PM GMT 22 Jan 2009In a clear reference to George W Bush’s obsession with national security after the September 11 attacks, Mrs Clinton said: “I don’t get up every morning just thinking about the threats and dangers, as real as they are. I also get up thinking about who we are and what we can do.”
Addressing staff members of the 18,000-strong state department on her first day at work, she proclaimed a “new era for America”.
“We are not any longer going to tolerate the kind of divisiveness that has paralysed and undermined our ability to get things done for America,” she said.
“There are three legs to foreign policy: defence, diplomacy and development, and we are responsible for two of those,” she told cheering officials crammed into the main hall of the department’s Washington headquarters.
“Diplomacy and development are essential tools in achieving the long term objectives of the United States. Robust diplomacy and effective development are the best long-term tools for securing America’s future,” said the 61-year-old former first lady, who supervises the US Agency for International Development.
She was later joined by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, in a show of solidarity aimed to assure the state department that it would again be the primary agency of foreign policy.
“We want to send a clear and unequivocal message: this is a team, and you are members of that team,” she said.
In a sign of his commitment to solving the gravest problems confronting the US, Mr Obama appointed two foreign policy heavyweights to key envoy roles.
George Mitchell, the former Northern Ireland negotiator, was made a special envoy to the Middle East, and Richard Holbrooke, a former ambassador to the UN, as special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan. They were both introduced by Mrs Clinton, as Mr Obama looked on. Mr Mitchell said that his experience in Northern Ireland had shown him that “there is no such thing as a conflict that can’t be ended”.
Addressing an audience of senior staff later in the day, Mr Obama said: “I have given you an early gift - Hillary Clinton.” He added: “My presence underscores my commitment to renewing American leadership.”
Former president Bush allowed the Pentagon to lead the country into war in Iraq under Donald Rumsfeld and then take charge of a reconstruction process that went badly awry.
Colin Powell, who served as secretary of state in Mr Bush’s first term, was sidelined in policy-making by both Mr Rumsfeld and former vice president Dick Cheney.
Her sure-footed performance served as a reminder of the political and communication skills that led Mr Obama to select her as the top US diplomat, quickly burying any lingering bitterness from their battle for the Democratic nomination.
She will act as the new president’s representative as they tackle a daunting array of challenges, including unfinished wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the troubled Middle East peace process, climate change and Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Mrs Clinton was confirmed late on Wednesday as secretary of state in a 94-2 senate vote and was immediately sworn into office in a ceremony watched by her husband, former president Bill Clinton.
She spent her first afternoon telephoning her foreign counterparts, receiving an intelligence briefing and consulting various regional experts.

elimination complete
foop. foop. The small sound of silencers coughing in the night. Quiet thuds as the bodies hit the floor. No witnesses, no survivors. No questions. Hurried footsteps recede down a darkened hallway. A dark van drives silently down a wet and unlit alley. This never happened. We were never here.
Europe lauds Obama shutdown of secret CIA prisons
U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision Thursday to shut secret CIA-run prisons abroad brought renewed calls for their locations to be disclosed as well a fresh denial from Poland, one of two eastern European countries most closely linked to the practice.
Across Europe, governments uneasy that CIA flights had been carrying terrorism suspects through their airports and air space for years said they were relieved to be heading into a new rendition-free era.
Dick Marty, the Swiss lawmaker who spearheaded the Council of Europe investigations that sought to expose the existence of clandestine interrogation centers in Eastern Europe and Africa, said he expected the truth would come trickling out once the centers were closed.
“For some countries, things are going to become very embarrassing. I think European countries would do well now to tell the truth,” Marty said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Marty said he “would be very surprised” if any CIA-run facilities were still operating in Europe, but added “in East Africa, or Morocco, I might assume there is something.” He said Obama’s order granting Red Cross officials access to all secret facilities might prove critical in revealing their locations, both past and present.

Gaza: no surprises
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – A Hamas spokesman says the militant group will continue fighting until Israeli troops leave Gaza.
Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum made the statement Saturday as Israeli leaders met to approve an Egyptian cease-fire proposal that would halt Israel’s 22-day-old offensive but leave troops in Gaza for a 10-day cooling-off period. Barhoum did not explicitly say whether Hamas would hold its fire if Israeli forces do leave Gaza. His comments were in a speech aired on Hamas television in Gaza.
...
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s top leadership met Saturday to approve a unilateral cease-fire that would halt the devastating 22-day offensive against the Hamas rulers of Gaza.
The 12-member Security Cabinet is expected to back an Egyptian-brokered proposal for a 10-day cease-fire with no sign of a commitment by Hamas to stop the rocket fire on southern Israel that sparked the conflict.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak indicated Israel’s readiness for a cease-fire, saying the country “was very close to achieving its goals and securing them through diplomatic agreements.” He spoke during a trip to southern Israel, which has been the target of militant rocket fire.
In the hours leading up to the vote, Israel kept up its bombardment of dozens of Hamas targets in Gaza.
Gaza’s Hamas rulers have sent mixed signals on whether the group would reciprocate.
So Hamas cries to Egypt for a cease fire, because they’re getting slammed. So Egypt does what it can to broker a deal, and presents it to Israel. But before Israel can even make a decision, Hamas lets it be known that they’ll keep right on fighting and doing what they damn please, agreement or not.
These are the most infantile people on the planet. Reject the treaty Israel, and go right back to spanking these evil little babies. This is exactly what I said would happen, and it’s completely predictable because it has happened so many times before. Keep the fight going against Hamas. Make it 100 times worse. There is no peace with these vermin. Ever. Drive them into the sea and drown them like the plague rats that they are. Show Obama how a real war on terror should be fought.

Guest Post #1, by Doc Jeff
In which Doc has a go at giving the AP news release a good fisking.
Hamas vows revenge after IDF kills Gaza Interior Minister Said Sayyam
> OK, I’m sure we’re all impressed by this. When was the last time anyone from Hamas vowed anything except revenge against Isreal? Congratulations to the IDF, another successful surgical strike against Hamas.
An Israel Air Force strike in Gaza on Thursday killed Hamas’ Interior Minister Said Sayyam, one of the Islamist militant group’s three most senior leaders in the coastal strip.
> Good start. Read on so you can see what a sweet benevolent man Sayyam was.
A Hamas official vowed vengeance for Siam’s death. “The blood of Said Sayyam will be a curse on the Zionist entity,” Mohammed Nazzal told Al-Jazeera television.
> Very colorful. Was he doing the monkey pump with an AK47 as well? It would play well on TV. This makes reason 483,726 why Hamas doesn’t like Zionists, aka Israelis.
Sayyam, 50, was killed in an air strike that targeted the home of his brother Iyad. Also killed in the attack were his son, his brother, as well as Salah Abu Shreich, head of internal security in the organization and the person responsible for the liaison between the political and military wings of Hamas.
> Good shot! Got lots of birds with one rock!
Palestinian sources said Hamas’ military commander in Gaza City, Mahmoud Watfah, was also killed in the attack.
> And another guy who needed killing. The Palis seem to be telling the truth. What’s wrong? They’ve got to be up to something.
Six other Hamas operatives were wounded in the air strike in the heart of Gaza City, the sources said. The IDF Southern Command ordered the airstrike on the basis of precise intelligence provided by the Shin Bet security service.
> Only wounded? Tsk. Gonna need another air strike. In any case, let’s hear it for the Shin Bet, knowing the right time and place to clean up so many bad guys in one blow. I think they’re still the best spy agency in the world. Overall it was a good deal. Three members of Hamas’ upper echelon deleted plus at least half a dozen (if not more) assorted Hamas operative out of action. Nice.
Sayyam was the effective founder of the Hamas-led police force. He pushed for Hamas’ bloody 2006 coup in Gaza, during which it ousted the rival Fatah faction from power.
> Nice guy, he even kills other Palis if he doesn’t get his way. I never thought I’d feel any amount of sympathy for a member of Fatah. This guy’s making me consider it. He controlled the police force as well. Nice, it gives him more opportunity to order killings.
As interior minister in Hamas’ government in Gaza, Sayyam oversaw thousands of security agents and was widely feared.
> I like this phrase. In other words, he ran the Gestapo in Gaza. Salah Abu Shreich runs the internal security apparatus and reports to Sayyam. Thousands of undercover agents plus the uniformed police can give a guy a lot of power....and terrify any possible dissenters into silence.
He was the number three behind Ismail Haniyeh and Mahmoud Zahar, and was seen by many as the most extreme of the triumvirate.
> Yeah, ok, whatever you say. What made the other two moderate?
The airstrike on Sayyam was apparently an attempt by Israel to deliver an image of victory in its offensive against Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces understands that Hamas’ agreement in principle to the Egyptian proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza signals that the campaign is nearing its end.
> What’s this about “...an attempt...to deliver an image of victory”? Deleting someone like Sayyam and a few of his friends is a pretty positive advance.
In an interview with Haaretz in November 1995, Sayyam said, “I do not hate [Israelis] for being Jewish or Israeli but because of what they have done to us. Because of the acts of occupation.”
> “Done to us....” Guess who’s killed thousands more Palestinians than the Israelis have? Answer: King Hussein of Jordan when the Palis tried to go after him like they’re now going after the Israelis. Now watch for his idea of the “acts of occupation”. Remember, Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza a few years ago, even leaving buildings and farms for the use of the Palestinians. Buildings and farms that the Palestinians immediately destroyed.
In response to a question about whether he saw a chance for change in relations between Palestinians and Israelis, he said, “It is difficult to forget what was done to us. If the reason for the hate will not exist, everything is possible.
> He won’t forgive or forget anything. The reason for his hate is the existence of Israel. He wants to destroy Israel. Read Hamas’ platform. It hasn’t changed since the beginning.
“But if the reason remains, it is impossible to love. First we must convince in general and in principle that we have been wronged, then we can talk about ‘67 or ‘48. You still do not recognize that we have rights. The first condition for change is recognition of the injustice we suffered.”
> This paragraph is nice and twisty. “...if the reason remains, it is impossible to love.” Remember the reason that remains is the continued existence of Israel. Then he wants people to understand that he, the bloodthirsty murderer of Israelis and Palestinians alike only acts because the Palestinians are victims. So, what does he want to change about 1948 or 1967? Does he want to remake history so that the combined might of the Arab world couldn’t destroy Israel? Does he want to remake history so that the Arabs weren’t fools? What could he be talking about when he references those years other than deleting Israel from history? What does he propose will be enough? An autonomous Gaza? An autonomous West Bank? Wait a minute, don’t they pretty much have that already? OK, his people have suffered an injustice. Almost true. Arab refugees were allowed to return to Israel after 1948 until they started killing Israelis. Since 1948 their brother Arabs held them in camps, with no land of their own. The Israelis gave them a land of their own and the Israelis are still the bad guys - got it?
Reality, what a concept.
[ Drew: I can’t wait until Hamas rejects the cease-fire proposal they just made, if Israel accepts it. I’m kind of hoping the Izzys vote it down tomorrow. ]

There are youngsters out there in foreign lands that are dying and losing limbs in our armed forces. So it must be a war of some kind.
Been up long hours and reading latest news and just shaking sorry head wondering where the hell the Churchills are.
I suppose innocent until proved could apply. But in this case?
Right. We all go around trying to board flights using a false passport.
This guy belongs to a movement that does not recognize nicy-nice hand holding. They kill and maim and cut throats and enjoy their work. If you can call murder work. Just where do you find “consideration for humanity” for a person who has NONE himself?
Bin Laden has said that his cause will win just by outlasting us. Could happen too. Not because terrorists are smarter or even because they value death much as we value life. No.
They can win because they understand the weakness of the west and mostly ... mostly ...
Because it is this sort of thinking that will simply allow them to win.
In other words, the west will just (slowly) let it happen. A fraction at a time.
An alleged al-Qaeda terrorist said to be connected to Osama bin Laden has been freed to take regular walks in a park to stop him developing a fear of open spaces.
By Duncan Gardham,
Security Correspondent
Last Updated: 7:01PM GMT 15 Jan 2009The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is claimed to have once been a senior al-Qaeda instructor and one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.
He was arrested in connection with separate plots to blow up Los Angeles airport and the Christmas market in Strasbourg and is said to have “direct links to Osama bin Laden and other senior al-Qaeda figures”.
The government says he is a “leading organiser and facilitator of terrorist activity” and is trying to have him deported to his native Algeria but the Telegraph revealed last year that he was to be released on bail and put under a 24-hour curfew.
His bail conditions, similar to a control order, have now been varied to allow him twice weekly walks, for one hour, in a local park in a south coast town and go to a cafe, accompanied by one of four named supporters who have been given security clearance by MI5.
The man’s legal team claimed he was suffering from high blood pressure and was in danger of becoming agoraphobic - scared of open spaces - as he had not been outside often enough.
The Security Service objected to the proposal but a judge at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) ruled against them.
Mr Justice Mitting told a hearing in central London, attended by the alleged terrorist: “I do not need to be reminded that this appellant is one of the greatest concerns of the Security Service and the commission.”
He admitted there was a “great risk to national security and a modest risk of absconding” and said the man had “not disavowed his previous beliefs” but he said he was allowing the walks “out of consideration for humanity and appropriate consideration for the health of the appellant”.
He said the conditions under which the man was living were “the most draconian” ever imposed by SIAC, which also ordered the release on bail last year of the radical preacher Abu Qatada, said to be Osama bin Laden’s “right hand man in Europe”.
A legal order bans this newspaper from naming the town where he is living but we can reveal that he has a room in a house normally rented out to students.
His landlord, a local councillor, told The Daily Telegraph: “I have let rooms for people at the university for many years and a friend rang and asked if I could take in an asylum seeker for a few months.
“It so happened that I had a room vacant so I said yes. He’s just another student as far as I’m concerned.”
SIAC has said there are “credible grounds” for believing the allegations against the man, referred to as “U”, and said he was a “significant risk to national security”.
Now 45, he arrived in Britain from France in 1994 and claimed asylum but allegedly spent the late 1990s with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
He was arrested in February 2001 at Heathrow trying to board a flight to Saudi Arabia on a false passport.It is claimed U met bin Laden at the Khalden training camp in Afghanistan which he is said to have helped run.
He admits attending the training camp and meeting Ahmed Ressam, now in jail for the Los Angeles plot, but denies being part of any conspiracy.

Gotcha
Security chief? As if. Anywhere else and this guy would be called either a general or a gang leader.
Hamas officials are confirming that an Israeli airstrike killed the Hamas interior minister, who oversaw thousands of security agents in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army confirmed the airstrike.
Hamas television says Interior Minister Said Siam was killed in a strike that flattened a home in Gaza City. A top aide, Siam’s brother and his brother’s family were also killed.
Siam is considered to be among Hamas’ top five leaders in Gaza.
Ha’aretz says Said Siam (Sayyam) was one of the top three Hamas rats, and that Salah Abu Shreich, their head of internal security, was also turned into pink mist in the attack. Plus 6 other Hamassholes thrown in for free.
Sayyam was the effective founder of the Hamas-led police force. He pushed for Hamas’ bloody 2006 coup in Gaza, during which it ousted the rival Fatah faction from power.
As interior minister in Hamas’ government in Gaza, Sayyam oversaw thousands of security agents and was widely feared. He was the number three behind Ismail Haniyeh and Mahmoud Zahar, and was seen by many as the most extreme of the triumvirate.
The airstrike on Sayyam was apparently an attempt by Israel to deliver an image of victory in its offensive against Hamas.

British Troops take out bomb factory in Afghaniland
A Taliban bomb-making factory has been shut down following an airborne assault by British commandos.
Troops seized more than 130 detonators capable of setting off the types of lethal bomb that have killed dozens of coalition soldiers in the last year.
Commanders have hailed the raid as a major success in thwarting the Taliban’s increasingly sophisticated bombing campaign. In the last month 10 British soldiers and seven Canadians have been killed by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in southern Afghanistan. In a joint operation with Canadian and Afghan forces, troops from 42 Commando Royal Marines swept onto an insurgent stronghold in a helicopter assault.
In the early hours of the morning under cover of darkness, commandos from Kilo Company carried out the attack on the isolated Taliban base to the north of Kandahar City. The Marines swept through compounds and farm buildings as the Royal Canadian Regiment pushed in on foot and in armoured vehicles. Eight suspected bomb-makers were taken prisoner and a Canadian soldier, Tpr Brian Good, 42, of the Royal Canadian Regiment, was killed by a booby-trap bomb in the attack. No Taliban are thought to have died.
But a search of more than 50 compounds and buildings led to seizure of a “huge haul” of lethal weapons and materials used to make IEDs. The troops found bags of shrapnel, from ball-bearings to nut and bolts – all used to maim and kill in “cunningly hidden” underground caches and tunnel, Royal Marine sources said. Six large tubs of explosives were also discovered along with 38 pressure plates used to detonate hidden mines. They also found 3,000 rounds of ammunition, AK47s, anti-personnel mines and 22 rocket-propelled grenades during the raid in the Khakrez and Shah Wali Khot districts that ended last Friday (Jan 9).
The insurgents were also found hiding 20kg of opium with an estimated street value in Britain of £130,000. It is further proof that the Taliban, who are meant to be strict Muslims, are using the drug trade in Afghanistan to finance their attacks. The Americans estimate that the insurgents make $500 million (£330 million) a year from the trade which much of the cash passing to both Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders based in Pakistan.

Concerning the “horrendous” casualty figures you hear on the news coming out of Gaza:
Israeli officials point out that virtually every public official in the Gaza strip, including hospital administrators, is, in effect, a Hamas appointee. It is, after all, a totalitarian regime that has crushed any remnant of a free press and thrown dissenters off the roofs of buildings. Israel thus “seriously questions Hamas’s figures,” but at this point — obviously — it has no way of doing the kind of intense forensic investigation needed to issue its own more precise estimate.
In other words, the numbers are just as faked as their “fauxtography”. And they’ve done this before too, too many times to mention, even without the help of Green Helmet Guy. Go read the rest over at NRO. Don’t expect this point to show up on any TV interview on any channel ever. But it has to. It HAS to. Because every word, every picture, every video that comes from Hamas or out of Gaza or any other islamofascist area is a fake. Until irrefutably proven otherwise.

Is there such a thing as a retired Taliban leader? I don’t think so. How about a former one who is all in one piece? Don’t think so either. It’s amazing any of them last a year.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has released the name of the Taliban leader killed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan.
Mullah Abdul Rasheed was killed by the Special Task Group (SOTG) during a recent operation in Oruzgan province. Rasheed was involved with the importation of foreign fighters, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) experts and potential suicide bombers, the ADF said. Defence believe he was also responsible for the rocket attack that killed Private Gregory Sher last weekend.
Chief of joint operations, Lieutenant General Mark Evans, described Rasheed as a “significant Taliban leader”.
No word on whether this smoking grease stain was involved in the public morality campaign posted about earlier. Still, that’s one less shiny happy towelhead chief.

Ain’t no stopping us now
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli forces pounded rocket-launching sites and smuggling tunnels in Gaza Saturday and planes dropped leaflets warning of an escalation in attacks, as Palestinian militants fired at least 10 more rockets at Israel.
Egypt hosted talks aimed at ending the violence.
Flames and smoke rose over Gaza City amid the heavy fighting. The Israeli threat to launch a “new phase” in its two-week-old offensive that has already killed more than 800 Palestinians came in defiance of international calls for a cease-fire.
“The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) will escalate the operation in the Gaza Strip,” the leaflets said in Arabic. “The IDF is not working against the people of Gaza but against Hamas and the terrorists only. Stay safe by following our orders.”
The leaflets urged Gaza residents not to help Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, and to stay away from its members.
Israel launched the offensive on Dec. 27 to halt years of Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israel. A week later, ground troops moved in.
The dropping of the leaflets appeared to be partly a psychological tactic. Israeli defense officials say they are prepared for a third stage of the offensive, in which ground troops would push much further into Gaza, but are still waiting for approval from the government.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were discussing classified information, said the army also has a fourth stage planned that calls for a full reoccupation of Gaza and toppling of Hamas.
I’m beginning to be impressed. Everyone expected Israel to back off after a couple of days. Then they expected Israel to back off after a week. Then they expected Israel to honor those calls from the Useless Nitwits for a cease fire. Even though Hamas continues to shoot missiles at them. And then they were expected to respond properly to another one of those UN resolutions. And they aren’t. At all. They just continue to pound Hamas. They just continue to ratchet up the pressure. They just continue to keep blowing up their enemies. The nerve. The gall. The audacity. I think there may be some Hope here for some actual Change. It’s about time. Keep up the push Israel. All the way to the Suez Canal. Been there, done that, doing it again.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
