WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange said Thursday his organization is preparing to release the balance of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file.
WikiLeaks already has published 77,000 classified U.S. military reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010, an extraordinary disclosure which some say could expose human rights abuses across the NATO-led campaign.
The disclosure also has angered the Pentagon, which has accused WikiLeaks of endangering the lives of soldiers and informants in the field, and demanded that WikiLeaks refrain from publishing any more secret data.
Speaking via videolink to London's Frontline Club, Assange said he had no intention of holding back. He gave no specific timeframe, but he said that his organization was about halfway through those 15,000 or so secret files previously held back from publication.
"We're about 7,000 reports in," he said, adding that he would definitely publish them.
He said he had "no comment" about his current whereabouts.
[Tolo News] Afghanistan's National Security Council (NSC) Tuesday urged the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society to delist 47 other Afghans from its sanctions list
NSC in a press release said that it has presented the names of 47 Afghans who are in the United Nations sanctions list to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the ministry will hand it over to the UN.
The decision is made in an effort to implement the results of the National Peace Jirga that was held in Kabul on the 20th of June this year.
Providing conditions for capitulation and finding an ultimate political solution for crisis in Afghanistan were the focal points discussed in the Jirga.
The United Nations had recently removed the names of 10 Taliban members and 14 others linked with al-Qaeda, from its sanctions list.
The decision is made as the Afghanistan's Caped President, Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai had previously asked for such a move in order to ease reconciliation talks with bad boys.
The UN has always emphasised on renouncing violence and any links with al-Qaeda and accepting the Afghan constitution as the main conditions to release Taliban and al-Qaeda members from an asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
The United Nation's blacklist includes names of about 500 individuals allegedly linked to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

[Maghrebia] Mauritanian Justice Minister Abidine Ould El Kheir visited Bamako on Tuesday (August 10th) to discuss greater co-operation with Mali in the fight against al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Talks focused on the fate of Spanish hostages Albert Vilalta and Roque Pascual, kidnapped last November in Mauritania and now held in Mali. Despite the recent raid by Mauritanian and French commandos on an AQIM base, "negotiations are continuing and have a chance to succeed", Journal Tahalil quoted a Malian official as saying under condition of anonymity.

[Ennahar] Two Malian civilians, abducted on the Malian territory after a Franco-Mauritanian raid late July against a unit of al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), were released by the Mauritanian army, said Wednesday reliable sources.
"Our two nationals kidnapped in the Timbuktu region (northwest) after the Franco-Mauritanian raid of 22 July have been released by the Mauritanian army," an official of the governorate of Timbuktu told AFP.
"Yes, it's true. Our parents unjustly removed by the Mauritanian army, have been freed," said on his part to AFP, Mamoud Ould Maouloud, a relative of two civilians.
"Mauritanians have apologized to our parents. They even gave a nest egg to compensate," said the source, without specifying the amount of compensation.
The two Malian civilians Ckeikna Ould Bolla and Rabah Ould Bammoshi had been abducted by the Mauritanian army after a Franco-Mauritanian raid on Malian territory, had told AFP a member of the local assembly in Timbuktu.
The raid, conducted on July 22 against a unit of AQIM, killed seven people in the ranks of that organization.
France had said the Franco-Mauritanian operation was aimed for the release of the French hostage Michel Germaneau, detained since April by AQIM. The terrorist organization announced the execution of the hostage Germaneau on July 25 to avenge its members killed during the raid.
The Mauritanian government says that this operation was solely intended to prevent an attack on its territory by AQIM, planned for July 28.

Elements of the Mexican Army killed three unidentified armed suspects in two separate engagements in north central Mexico Monday, say Mexican news reports.
In Zacatecas, elements of the Mexican 52nd Infantry Battlaion encountered an armed suspect firing at them from inside a Chevrolet pickup truck on Bulevar Manuel Varela Rico in the Miguel Hidalgo district of Fresnillo. Return fire from the soldiers killed one suspect. Seized in the aftermath were: 2 .38 Special revolvers, 55 cartridges, a Chevrolet pickup and a radio.
Meanwhile, in San Luis Potosi, elements of the Mexican Army fought an unknown number of armed suspects near the village of Coxcatlan Sunday night.
Heavily armed suspects riding aboard at least two luxury SUVs attacked an army convoy stopped on the Carrizo-Coxcatlän road in San Luis Potosi in the Pacula barrio. Two soldiers, a captain and a rifleman, were wounded in the initial exchange.
As the suspects' convoy fled the area, the army began a running pursuit for several kilometers until they reached Tancanhuitz near the intersection of calle Miguel Hidalgo, between Doctor Felipe Angeles and Damian Carmona, when one of the fleeing vehicles wrecked.
Two suspects attempted to cover their own retreat but were shot dead by soldiers. Both suspects were in their 30s with military style haircuts and Santa Muerte tattoos.
Two unidentified men were shot to death in the corridors of a hospital in Juarez Tuesday night, say Mexican press reports. The two victims entered the ClÃnica 66 del IMSS after having been shot only minutes before, but were pursued by two armed suspects with assault rifles. The victims attempt to flee the renewed assault, but were caught at an elevator. No one else was injured in the attack. The armed suspects fled the scene immediately after.
Four unidentified men were found crucified and shot to death on a highway near Chihuahua, Chihuahua, say Mexican news reports. The grim discovery was made at Km. 77 of the Chihuahua- Cuauhtemoc highway, where the four victims were tied to livestock fence posts hand bound. Two of the victims were blindfolded. A message was left with the bodies, although the contrents were not revealed.
An unidentified man and woman were shot to death in Juarez, say Mexican press report. The couple were driving in their sedan with an infant near the intersection of calles Mitla and Durango when they were attacked. Witnesses say the drive attempted to dodge the attack by rapidly accelerating, but was hit by bullets. The infant was unharmed.
An unidentified man was shot to death during a shopping trip in Juarez, according to Mexican press reports. The attack took place at the Tikal shopping mall near then intersection of calles Tikal and Mitla. Witnesses at the scene say a lone armed suspect shot the victim after laying in wait for him to emerge fro a supermarket.
Five unidentified individuals were found shot to death at a ranch south of Juarez, say Mexican press reports. The discovery was made at about 1300 hrs. near Villa Ahumada at Rancho La Capilla, which is about 100 kilometers south of Juarez on Highway 45, the main road between Juarez and Chihuahua city. Reports say the victims were shot with AK-47 assault rifles.
An unidentified man was found decapitated in Juarez, according to Mexican news reports. The victim was found near the intersection of Calle Tamaulipas and Bulevar Oscar Flores Magon in the Francisco Villa district. Investigators said a message left with the victim said he was a Mexican Federal agent. The victim was bound by his hand and feet. The criminal group La Linea took responsibility for the murder.
Seoul (AsiaNews) North Koreas Stalinist regime has discovered some underground Christians in a house church in Pyongan Province. All 23 who met to celebrate a religious function were arrested. Three were tried and given the death penalty, which was swiftly executed, sources told AsiaNews. Confirmation about the incident also came from the North Korea Intellectual Solidarity, a group of North Korean exiles.
According to the sources, the arrests and executions were carried out in mid-May.
At that time, right after the disastrous currency reform, police discovered 23 Christians in Kuwal-dong, Pyungsung County, in Pyongan Province, who met at an underground church. After their arrest, they were interrogated at length. Eventually, the groups ringleaders were sentenced to death and executed. The others were sent to Kwan-li-so (Penal labour colony) No 15 in Yodŏk.
These North Koreans discovered underground Christianity when some of them travelled to mainland China for work.
As the authorities fear the spread of religion, many area residents are rounded up and interrogated for days, the sources said. However, they cannot help it because the situation is so desperate that people are going back to religion. Such sentences are meant to scare people.
North Korea denies freedom of religion absolutely. Officially, the country has three Christian places of worship (one Catholic and two Protestant churches) and four Buddhist temples, but only in the capital Pyongyang. No one has been able to confirm how many exist in the rest of the country. Accounts about their number by foreigners who have travelled around the country vary.
The only cult allowed is that of Eternal President Kim Il-sung and his son, the Dear Leader Kim Jong-il.
After the Korean War in 1953, the Stalinist regime ruthlessly proceeded to kill the countrys estimated 200,000 Catholics, and destroy their churches and abbeys.
Sources have told AsiaNews that in North Korea there are no more than 200 Catholics left, all very old.

gromky: I wasn't really kidding about that. North Korea, per capita, has far more death camps than Nazi Germany ever did, based on a Stalinist model, but even more brutal than the Russian version.
It's pretty common practice that when border crossers into China are captured, they have sharp, metal hooks attached to chains, inserted around their collarbones, to prevent them from trying to run away. Then they are led off to the closest death camp. Even the Chinese border guards are utterly horrified by this practice.
The big difference between those camps and the Nazi ones are first, that most of their forced labor is agricultural instead of industrial, and second that there is no active, as opposed to passive, extermination program.
Third, that their captives' livers have shrunk so much with protracted starvation before incarceration, that they can survive on far fewer calories a day than a healthy person. So it takes them much longer to starve to death.
This is comparable only to the agricultural death camps set up by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, where the standard ration was about 1 tsp of rice a day, literally.
Things like this make you truly wish that Hell existed, as retribution against such horror.

"they cannot help it because the situationsocialism is so desperate that people are going back to religion" worshiping God and not government. Fixed that.

Skynet? The genocidal computer? The one that rounded up humans and put them into extermination camps? North Korea wouldn't have a country if they did that.
One of the things that dictators like these think about is how to maintain the minimum population required in order to accomplish their goals. Anything above that is a bonus in their minds.
[Al Arabiya Latest] Turkish fire-fighters on Wednesday battled to contain a raging fire on a pipeline carrying about a quarter of Iraq's crude oil exports, a day after an explosion blamed on Kurdish militants, officials said.
The bomb attack stopped the flow of oil on Tuesday on the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline and killed two people and wounded a third after their vehicles caught fire on a road that runs alongside the link.
"The fire continues, and the flow of oil has been halted. Efforts are centered on putting out the flames," said a spokeswoman for Botas, Turkey's state-run pipeline operator.
An official speaking on condition of anonymity blamed the blast on sabotage by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has claimed responsibility for similar attacks in the past.
"It was a terrorist attack," the official said.
The pipeline runs near a motorway in Sirnak province, which borders northern Iraq and Syria.
The explosive was remote-controlled, NTV news channel reported, but that could not be immediately confirmed.
The section of the pipeline that was struck is near the village of Magara in Sirnak province, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Iraqi border. The oil link is operated by state-run Botas on the Turkish side.
The PKK, which has waged a 26-year insurgency against the Turkish state, said it was behind a July explosion on the same pipeline in an area near the site of Tuesday's blast. That explosion knocked out flows for several days.
The Kirkuk-Ceyhan link, which consists of two parallel pipelines, carries an average 500,000 barrels of oil a day to the Mediterranean coast, where it is loaded onto tankers. When the larger, main line is damaged, Iraqi officials can use different pumping stations located along the route within Iraq to switch the flow of crude to the other line, oil industry sources have said.

Gunmen burst into a house north of Baghdad early Wednesday, killed three people and then sent the surviving children to lure soldiers from a nearby Iraqi army checkpoint, killing eight.
The pre-dawn incident in the volatile Diyala province underlines the unrelenting dangers that members of Iraq's security forces still face as American troops prepare to reduce their numbers by the end of the month and end all combat operations.
It also shows the constantly evolving and sophisticated tactics of insurgents that American and Iraqi officials say have been seriously debilitated since the deaths of their top leaders last spring.
The town's mayor, Sheik Ahmed Al-Zarqushi, told the Associated Press that gunmen broke into the house at about 1 a.m. in the town of Sadiyah, 60 miles north of Baghdad, and killed a man and two women inside. They then sent the two children to a nearby Iraqi army checkpoint to tell the soldiers about their parents' bodies.
"When the Iraqi army forces arrived and broke into the house, the house blew up, killing eight soldiers and wounding four others," he said.
The mayor, who said he met with the children after the incident, gave their ages as 12 and 10, and said they're now staying with their relatives.
Sheik Al-Zarqushi said security forces have arrested several suspects after the attack. Groups linked to al Qaeda are very active in the area, he said.
The gunmen escaped out the back door and climbed over a fence before the soldiers arrived on the scene, said an official with the Diyala operations command. He said authorities have sealed the area and have been searching for suspects.
The death toll and account was confirmed by Capt. Qais Ahmed of the Iraqi army in Sadiyah.
Blowing up houses is one of the newer types of attack in Iraq that security officials have blamed on al-Qaeda-linked groups. Such incidents have been used most in the western province of Anbar, where al Qaeda has been particularly vicious in its attempt to seek retribution and intimidate members of the anti-al-Qaeda Awakening Councils as well as security forces.
On Aug. 2, gunmen blew up the house of a policeman in Fallujah, killing the man, his wife and their son. In early July, gunmen blew up five houses in different parts of the Sunni district of Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, belonging to a policeman, an ambulance driver and members of an Awakening Council. Three people were killed.
The ongoing attacks against Iraq's security forces come as the United States is moving to reduce its troop levels to 50,000 by the end of August. The remaining troops are expected to leave by the end of 2011, and after Aug. 31 they no longer will be doing combat operations.
Many Iraqis and Iraqi officials fear the persistent drumbeat of attacks is an attempt by insurgent groups to disrupt Iraq's fragile security at a time when efforts to come up with a new government five months after the March 7 election are stalled.
Like much of the Middle East, Iraqis begin observing the holy month of Ramadan this week, and little in the way of political progress is expected to happen during the holiday, in which Muslims fast from sunup to sundown

The tragic thing is that no matter what the Nazis, the communists, and al-Qaeda and their ilk did and do, there are always ample numbers of moral relativists out there who insist that there is no such thing as good or evil.
DIWANIYA / Aswat al-Iraq: Four Katyusha rockets hit U.S. camp ECHO in Diwaniya on Wednesday, according to an army source.

Police started investigation on the incident, he added. The source did not give further details.
Diwaniya lies 180 km south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

[Arab News] Gunmen burst into a house north of Baghdad early Wednesday, killing three people and sending the surviving children to an Iraqi army checkpoint to lure soldiers to the residence. As the troops arrived at the booby-trapped house, it blew up, leaving eight soldiers dead.
The pre-dawn incident in the volatile Diyala province underlines the unrelenting dangers that members of Iraq's security forces still face as American forces prepare to reduce their numbers by the end of the month and end all combat operations.
It also highlights the constantly evolving and sophisticated tactics of insurgents that American and Iraqi officials say have been seriously debilitated since the deaths of their top leaders last spring.
Wednesday's incident occurred about 1 a.m. in the town of Sadiyah, 95 km north of Baghdad.
A top town official, Sheik Ahmed Al-Zarqushi, told The Associated Press that gunmen broke into the house, and killed a man and two women inside. Then they sent the two children in the house to the Iraqi army checkpoint to get help.
"When the Iraqi army forces arrived and broke into the house, the house blew up and killed eight soldiers and wounded four others," he said.
He did not say if the gunmen had gotten away before the troops arrived.
Al-Zarqushi added that groups linked to Al-Qaeda are very active in the area. Earlier reports indicated that gunmen in the house had opened fire on the checkpoint, but the sheik said that was incorrect. The checkpoint was about 300 m from the house, he said.
The death toll and account was confirmed by Capt. Qais Ahmed, from the Iraqi army in Sadiyah.
Meanwhile in Baghdad, gunmen broke into the house of a senior female doctor and killed her, Iraq's health minister and a police official said.
The minister, Saleh Al-Hasnawi, said the gunmen broke into the house of Dr. Intissar Al-Tuwaijri at about 6:00 a.m., tied up her husband and killed her.
Al-Hasnawi said he believed the killing of the physician he described as one of the best doctors in the country was a criminal incident, and that his ministry was waiting for the results of a police investigation.
Al-Tuwaijri was the general director of Alwiyah Maternity hospital in Baghdad's central Karradah area.
A police officer said the preliminary investigation showed that the gunmen used pistols fitted with silencers and stole 250 million Iraqi dinars (about $215,000).
All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information.

No way will it end like Vietnam. It took a conventional military invasion by the Communists and the withdrawal of US air cover for the SVA to produce that outcome. These cocksuckers in Iraq are like a boil on the butt. Painful but not a serious threat to the body.
#3
Agree with #2, Iran does NOT have the heavy tank divisions to do an invasion like the NVA did in 1975; Turkey almost does. As far as the terrorist cells are concerned, all that they may accomplish is the ethnic cleansing of Sunnis from Iraq : Kurds and Shias have indicated that if there are no Sunnis, there is no problem. And the Shias have shown no mercy towards Iranian-supported terrorist cells.
[Iran Press TV Latest] The US says it will end combat operations in Iraq as scheduled on August 31 despite the recent surge in violence in the area, the White House said on Wednesday.
"We're on target by the end of the month to end our combat mission" in Iraq, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters at a press briefing.
The US currently has 64,000 soldiers stationed in Iraq but plans to reduce that number to 50,000 by the end of August.
According to a bilateral security pact, all US troops are to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.
However, on Wednesday Iraq's top army officer, Lt. General Babakar Zerbari, said he believes the withdrawal of US forces is premature because foreign troops will be needed for another decade in Iraq.
Zerbari's remarks might have been influenced by the fact that earlier in the day, eight of his soldiers were killed in an attack as a result of questionable security.
US President Barack Obama has vowed to withdraw the troops on schedule.

AL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Egyptian forces took control of 17 tunnels along the Gaza border, a security source told Ma'an on Wednesday.
Eight tunnels were seized overnight in the Salah Ad-Din border area, in which iron and cement prepared for smuggling into the Strip were found and confiscated. Two other tunnels were seized in Al-Sarsouriyeh, north of Rafah, and another seven in a nearby area, the security source added.
The latest discoveries, Egyptian officials said, were part of a campaign underway to expose tunnels used by Palestinians to smuggle goods into Gaza. Approximately 450 smuggling tunnels have been seized since the beginning of July, as well as 11 tunnels used to transfer cars into Gaza, the source added. Funny how they're finding them all now that they don't need them any more... If the Israelis just open the one closest to the Med to the sea, and then dynamite the rest, they can have a new Suez Canal ...
Since Israel imposed its blockade of Gaza in 2006, residents began digging a network of underground smuggling routes to transfer goods barred from import by Israel, among them construction materials. In response, Egypt began construction of an underground steel wall built to thwart smuggling efforts, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2010. On Sunday, Egyptian government sources rebuffed rumors that smugglers had cut through the wall in continued efforts to bring goods into the Strip.
[Straits Times] MALAYSIA police said on Wednesday they had detained an Indonesian and two Malaysians for their links to a foreign militant group and for activities that could affect national security.
Police chief Musa Hassan told state news agency Bernama that Indonesian marketing executive Mustawan Ahbab, 34, Malaysian contractor Samsul Hamidi, 34, and businessman Sheikh Abdullah Sheikh Junaid, 70, had been arrested under the country's tough Internal Security Act.
Bernama's brief report gave no details of which foreign militant group the three were allegedly linked to, and police could not be reached for comment.
Last month, Malaysia confirmed it had arrested a man accused of recruiting students for the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terror organisation.
Authorities have said that Islamic militants are trying to revive JI, a South-east Asian terror outfit, by attracting new members from Malaysian universities.
The detentions follow Monday's arrest in Indonesia of radical Islamist preacher Abu Bakar Bashir for his alleged role in terror plots with Al-Qaeda-linked militants.
