Russian authorities have killed five people and arrested four others suspected of aiding the hostage-taking attack on a school in southern Russia last fall that killed 330 people, prosecutors said Friday. Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel said in a statement that the arrested men were suspected of helping stage the attack in Beslan, where assailants held more than 1,000 hostages for nearly three days before the siege ended Sept. 3 in gunfire and explosions. Shepel said that five other suspects were killed while resisting arrest. The statement did not say when or where the raid took place.
Must have gotten caught in a "crossfire", or something.
The suspects were accused of being involved in the raid "at the stage of its preparation," Shepel said. Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev has claimed responsibility for the school seizure and other latest terror attacks in Russia, including twin plane bombings in August and an explosion near a Moscow subway station in which about 110 people died. Anger has grown over the slow pace of the investigation, particularly among residents of Beslan. Many suspect authorities are hiding information about the attackers and how they were so easily able to slip into town with a huge quantity of weapons. Officials say 32 people took part in the attack and that 31 of them were killed and one detained. Almost half of the 330 people killed in the attack were children. Shepel said that the suspects arrested in the latest raid were also accused of involvement in an attack on police facilities in Russia's southern region of Ingushetia near Chechnya in June, in which about 90 people were killed. He said a suspected al-Qaida liaison in Chechnya, Abu Dzeit, a Saudi Arabia national, who died in a Russian security sweep last month, was a key organizer of the school seizure and other terror attacks.

And we have a national crisis when underwear is put on people's heads.
A federal grand jury has indicted an Indiana man on charges he tried to sell names of U.S. intelligence operatives in Iraq to Saddam Hussein's government before the U.S. invasion.
Shaaban Hafiz Ahmad Ali Shaaban, 52, was charged with agreeing to act as a foreign agent for Iraq and with immigration violations, federal prosecutors said Thursday following Shaaban's arrest.
Shaaban traveled in late 2002 from Chicago to Baghdad, where he agreed to sell the names of U.S. intelligence agents to Saddam's government for $3 million, said Susan Brooks, the U.S. attorney for southern Indiana. The Iraqi government paid for the trip, the indictment alleges.
"The deal was never consummated," Brooks said.
Shaaban sought the names from foreign sources, but investigators believe he never obtained them, Brooks said. Investigators believe Shaaban acted alone.
The U.S. severed all diplomatic relations with Iraq in 1990 and U.S. citizens were not permitted to travel to Iraq or do business there without registering as foreign agents — which Shaaban had not done, Brooks said.
Brooks said she could not discuss what sparked the federal investigation of Shaaban, a resident of Greenfield, which is about 20 miles east of Indianapolis.
The federal indictment unsealed Thursday also alleges Shaaban sought to broadcast pro-Iraqi propaganda in the United States and offered to pay Iraqis who agreed to act as "human shields" to protect infrastructure from coalition forces, Brooks said.
Authorities believe that Shaaban is originally from Jordan and became a U.S. citizen illegally in 2000 when he used the alias Shaaban Hafed on his naturalization application. If convicted of that charge, he most likely will be deported, Brooks said.
An initial hearing was held Thursday in Indianapolis federal court, where his trial was tentatively set for April 25. Shaaban is being held pending a detention hearing March 9.
Bill Dazey, the federal defense attorney representing Shaaban, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Police have arrested the alleged supplier of explosives used in a series of bombings that killed 12 people in the Philippines on February 14, military and police spokesmen said. The suspect, Gappal Bana, widely known as "Boy Negro", surrendered to authorities late Thursday as a police and military dragnet was closing in on him in Camarines Sur province, just south of the capital, military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Buenaventura Pascual said.
The suspect will be presented to the public by Interior Secretary Angelo Reyes later Friday said police spokesman Senior Superintendent Leopoldo Bataoil. Bana, who was wounded in a clash with police Thursday before escaping and later turning himself in, is believed to have supplied the explosives used in simultaneous bombings in the financial district of Manila which left as many as six dead and about a hundred injured on Valentine's Day.

Suspected militants shot dead one man and injured his colleague early Thursday here as nearly daily attacks by Muslim insurgents in Thailand's deep south have continued, said local police. Kuhasan Lueba, 24, was a temporary clerk for the Southern Border Provinces Peace-building Command to build peace in three Southern border provinces. He died instantly from gunshot wounds in his torso while his colleague, Muhama Sahea, who rode on the pillion of his motorcycle, survived the shooting, said Pol. Sub-Lt. Sornphet Tantiamornchaikul, an officer at Ra Ngae District Police Station. Muhama told police that they were chased after by two men on motorcycle while they were heading to work. Police believed insurgents were behind the shooting which has occurred almost daily and targeted government workers and security forces.

Two men were kidnapped in the southern Philippines yesterday, hours before security forces recovered an Agriculture Department employee seized by gunmen two weeks ago, officials said. Marine Col. Ben Dolorfino said the two victims — Vincent Jariol, an engineer, and Gerald Tumawis — were abducted before midnight on Wednesday in Iligan City, 810 kilometers south of Manila. Dolorfino said the victims were traveling aboard a van in downtown Iligan when armed men blocked their path and took control of their vehicle. "The vehicle was recovered in a resort in Pantao town in nearby Lanao del Norte province," he said. "Traces of blood were seen inside the vehicle but it could not yet be ascertained if the blood was from the victims or the suspects." Dolorfino said investigators were still determining the motive behind the abductions and were already following up some leads.
The new kidnapping occurred hours before marines and policemen recovered Rogelio Creencia, a soil and water management specialist and regional coordinator of the Department of Agriculture in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Muslim, in Matungao town in Lanao del Norte. Gunmen seized Creencia on Feb. 14 in the town of Tugaya in nearby Lanao del Sur province and demanded 200,000 pesos for his safe release. Marine spokesman Capt. Rommel Abrau said Creencia was released in the hinterlands after successful negotiations by provincial governor Bashier Manalao, officials said. Authorities said no ransom was paid for Creencia's freedom, but other sources claimed tens of thousands of pesos were paid to the kidnappers as fees for the victim's "board and lodging."

U.S. forces fired at a car carrying Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena shortly after her liberation, killing an Italian secret service agent and lightly wounding the journalist, her newspaper said on Friday. Gabriele Polo, the editor of Il Manifesto newspaper, said Sgrena's car was fired on as it made its way to Baghdad airport. "This news which should have be a moment of celebration, has been ruined by this fire fight," Polo told Sky Italia television. "An Italian agent has been killed by an American bullet. A tragic demonstration which we never wanted that everything that's happening in Iraq is completely senseless and mad," he added, struggling to fight back his tears.
So what happened, try to run a roadblock? Not stop when told to? Or are we back to the "American troops targeting journalists" mode?
The Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi sent his condolences to the family of the dead agent, who was named by Il Manifesto's Polo as Nicola Calipari.
My regrets as well, but did Agent Calipari let the Americans know he was in country, or was this a "lone wolf" operation? All he had to do was place a call on his cell phone and he would have had an escort to the airport.
Sgrena was seized in the Iraqi capital on Feb. 4 as she conducted interviews on the street near Baghdad University.

Let me get this straight, she was captured by âterroristsâ a month ago and pleaded for immediate retreat of she would be killed by the âterrorists.â After a month of putting up with Italyâs Favorite Commie Bitch the âterroristsâ release her rather than lop off her head (like they did with so many others). Now she is involved in one of the few fratricide incidents at a U.S. checkpoint? Something doesnât smell right here and I aint talking at the unwashed lefty reporter.

Report I have is that the car was approaching the checkpoint at very high speed. Makes it kinda hard to respond to any singnals. File this one under Darwin.

Odds she was bought out, not released...
let the bidding begin.
A U.S. patrol "attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car," the military said in a statement. "When the driver didn't stop, the soldiers shot into the engine block which stopped the vehicle, killing one and wounding two others."
Is there anything more universally understood than warning shots?! What the hell was the driver trying to prove?

"Crossfire" death has scared away most of the local listed top terrors into hiding or shelters at home and abroad. Sources said almost all the underworld linchpins of the district and the port city, who have managed to survive the Rapid Action Battalion's (Rab) crackdown on terrorists, are now lying low in Dubai, Kolkata, Dhaka or somewhere far away from Chittagong. According to them, at least 25 die-hard gangster are now in hiding or leading underground life, after 22 terrorists including "Gittu" Nasir have died one after another in "crossfire" since the elite anti-crime force launched its operation here on May 22 last year. They said Rab-7 stationed in Chittagong is determined to root out the terrorists on its hit list. "We know what we're supposed to do and will continue our anti-terrorism operations" said Rab-7 Acting Commander Major Sharif Hasan yesterday afternoon. Declining to detail their plan about the terrorists on the run, he just said, "None of the terrorists accused in specific and grievous criminal cases would be spared."
According to sources, Mamunur Rashid, a Jubo League leader and a ward commissioner of the port city, tops the Rab list followed by top Shibir cadre Habib Khan convicted for life in the Nazirhat College Principal Gopal Krishna Muhuri murder case. Rashid fled the country last October after Raozan's top terrorist Jane Alam and his nine accomplices had been killed in "crossfire" with Rab. He is now in Kolkata, they said. Habib Khan was in Dhaka a few months ago, but left for Dubai at the advice of "Gittu" Nasir, sources said.
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leader and top-notch terrorist Abu Tayeb, three of his gang members Baker, Halim and Millat, city Jubo League cadre Sunil and BCL cadre Dulu are also in Kollkata. Sunil left the country after the 2001 general elections, while Dulu went to Kolkata from his mother-in-law's village home in Jessore after the death of one Mahim in "crossfire".
Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) cadre Morshed Khan, Shibir cadres "Lengra" Nasir and Sajjad Khan, and members of the now defunct National Democratic Party (NDP) Fazal Haq and Bidhan Barua are now in Dubai, sources said. Sajjad Khan, an accused in Bahaddarhat eight-murder and Liaqat Commissioner murder cases, recently obtained bail from court and left the country last month.
Sources said JCD-linked terrorists Ekramul Haq Chhuttu, "Etim" Alam, NDP cadres Azizul Haq and Jafar, Shibir cadres Gias Hazarika (on bail), "BDR" Selim and Azam, sentenced to death in Principal Muhuri murder case, are roaming in Dhaka and some other parts of the country. UP chairman Abul Kashem and Shahidur Rahman, two main accused in Jamaluddin Ahmad abduction case, have for long been hiding in Delhi and Tripura respectively. BNP-backed top terror Osman of Fatikchhari, his second-in command Alamgir and "Lamba" Mahbub are hiding in Laxmichhari and some remote areas in the hill tracts, sources said.
The 22 top terror killed in Rab operations so far are "Gittu" Nasir, Idris, Mahimuddin, Iqbal Bahar Chowdhury, "Petkata" Babar, Ahmadul Haq Chowdhury alias Ahmudya, Minhaj, Foyez Munna, Sajal Nath, Khalifa Amin, Nabi Hossain, Jane Alam and his nine associates, and Aminul Islam alias Aminya. Among other Chittagong gangsters on the Rab hit list, "Shibir Nasir", "Five Star" Jasim, "Baittya" Alamgir, Taslimuddin Montu, "Baittya" Yousuf, "Azrail" Delwar, Monzur Alam and Sarwar Alam are now in jail.

You must notice when the cops and politicians don't make excuses and stand against terroristes they run away. Cause meet effect. There are several nations in the world that could learn from the poor nation of Bangaledesh.
March 4, 2005: Without much publicity at all, several Gulf States (Oman, Emirates, Bahrain, etc.) have sent some of their SOF (Special Operations Forces; commandoes) to Afghanistan to work with coalition forces. For several years, between 100-200 of these troops have been on duty there, quietly rotating contingents in and out. Al Qaeda and the Taliban know about it, as does the Afghan government.
The Islamic radicals have not publicized this involvement, perhaps feeling that it would hurt them more, to publicize that Arab soldiers are fighting them, than to make a fuss about Arab soldiers fighting alongside infidels (non-Moslems.) Many of these Arab operators were trained by American and British commandoes and are considered very good. In their home countries, they are used to hunt down local terrorists, which is one reason you don't find many Islamic terrorists in the Gulf States. The Arab commandoes know how to work the tribal and family angles to get information without violence. American Special Forces specialize in teaching this approach, which is considered a traditional method of dealing with violent radicals in Arab countries. The Arab commandoes are probably also used to interrogate Arab Islamic radicals captured in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Every month, a few more of these guys are picked up, and someone from their home country could get something out of them more quickly.
By applying a little cultural sensitivity to sensitive areas of their bodies.

Arab Commandoes?
Mmmm. Mmmmm. MMMMMM. Good. mmmmmm. Glad they're on our side. MMmmm. cough

I left this comment on RB last week in reference to an item about Dutch Commandoes. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this way:
"I don't know why more countries don't send their special forces to work with the US in Afghanistan and Iraq. They can really learn a lot in a short time and it's a very low profile way to get on our good side. The ties that would be built for future operations in the GWoT would be invaluable. I hope our military and political leaders are seeking this type of help."

Tensions between Palestinian Authority police and military groups erupted into violence Friday as Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a police station, sparking a gunfight that left three people wounded. It was the second serious clash between Palestinian authorities and armed groups this week, underscoring the delicate task that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas faces as he tries to rein in militants and restore law and order in the West Bank.
Car bombs killed six policemen and wounded 15 in new attacks on Iraq (news - web sites)'s security services Thursday as political factions wrangled over putting together a government.
The Shiite Muslim-dominated United Iraqi Alliance and a Kurdish coalition, which emerged from the Jan. 30 elections with the two biggest blocks of seats in the National Assembly, made little headway in their talks on combining forces to select the leaders of the new government.
Meanwhile, interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, whose party finished third, denied rumors he had given up his effort to stitch together support from other groups, including the Kurds, that would allow him to remain prime minister.
Forming Iraq's first democratically elected government is a key step in the U.S. plan for stabilizing the country, and insurgents have been striking at Iraqi police and military forces seeking to undermine the effort.
Two suicide car bombs exploded outside the Interior Ministry in eastern Baghdad and killed at least five policemen and wounded nine, the defense ministry reported.
Another car bomb targeted a police convoy in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of the capital, and killed one Iraqi policeman and a civilian, the U.S. military said. Six officers and 10 civilians were injured.
In the north, insurgents blew up a natural gas pipeline between Kirkuk and Dibis, about 20 miles away. Officials said the blast would reduce gas production, but could not immediately say by how much.
Violence that has killed hundreds of people the past three weeks led Allawi to extend a state of emergency until the end of March. First announced nearly four months ago, the order affects all of Iraq except Kurdish-run areas in the north.
The emergency decree includes a nighttime curfew and gives the government extra powers to make arrests without warrants and launch police and military operations when it deems necessary.
The U.S. military reported that three American soldiers were killed in action Wednesday, pushing the number of U.S. military deaths since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 to 1,502, according to an Associated Press count.
The military said two soldiers were mortally wounded when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle in Baghdad. Another soldier was killed in Babil province.
At least 1,140 Americans, including four civilians working for the military, have died from hostile action, according to the Defense Department. The other deaths are from non-combat causes.
More than a month after the elections, negotiations between the cleric-supported United Iraqi Alliance and the coalition of Kurdish parties are struggling and plans for convening the 275-member National Assembly this week have been suspended.
The United Iraqi Alliance won 140-seats and wants the leader of its Islamic Dawa party, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, to be the next prime minister. But it needs the support of 42 other deputies to elect a president — the first step in selecting a prime minister.
"Everyone's bewildered. It's hard to reach a solution. There should be compromises for a solution to be reached," said Ali Faisal of the Shiite Political Council, a member of the alliance.
The Kurdish coalition, an alliance between Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and Masoud Barzani's Kurdish Democratic Party, has 75 seats and thus is a key player in negotiations over potential governing coalitions.
Talabani and Barzani told reporters in Irbil on Thursday that they will ally with whichever groups support their demands to expand the autonomous Kurdish region and to retain control over their Peshmerga militias, which they do not want to disband.
Barzani said talks were continuing with other parties but refused to comment on their substance, describing the task of forming a government as a "laborious operation that takes time and effort."
"We deal with a program, not with people. We support having a national coalition government. If this is not possible, we will agree with the list that will fulfill our demands," Barzani said.
Allawi, whose party won 40 seats, also has been courting the Kurds as well as other political parties, including the communists, in an effort to remain head of the government.
There were rumors Thursday that Allawi was dropping his bid, but his spokesman, Thaer al-Naqib, denied that. He said Allawi was "still a strong candidate" for the premiership.

Two suicide car bombs outside Iraq's Interior Ministry and another near a police station in Baquba killed six people yesterday, as Shiite political parties piled pressure on the Kurds to join them in a governing coalition. The US military announced the death in action of three more of its soldiers, pushing the total number killed since the war that ousted Saddam Hussein close to the 1,500 mark.
The Baghdad bombs went off at morning rush hour, with the first vehicle serving as a decoy for the second and more powerful blast outside the ministry, a strategic post in Iraq's battle against the insurgency. "A Kia vehicle tried to enter the checkpoint and at this moment blew up. It was not that effective but made a large amount of smoke so we couldn't see anything," said policeman Mohammed Jaafar. "Two minutes later, a Jeep Cherokee reached the checkpoint and opened fire with an MG machinegun and police fired back but it was too late because he reached the checkpoint and blew up." Five policemen were killed and five more wounded, an Interior Ministry official said.
In Baquba, north of the capital, one person was killed and 18 wounded in a suicide car bomb attack near a police station, a police officer said. The government yesterday said it had extended Iraq's state of emergency laws for another 30 days from Feb. 28, giving the government the right to impose curfews and restrict movement around the country.

Yeah, it isn't really all about "occupation", is it?
Unidentified men blew up a portion of the Zahidan-Quetta rail line in Balochistan on Thursday, officials said on Thursday. Wednesday's blast was the third in a month to hit the line from Quetta to Zahidan in Iran. A scheduled fortnightly train between the two cities left early on Thursday after engineers worked overnight to repair the track, Pakistan Railways Chief Controller Mohammad Shoaib said. "Terrorists hit the line at Nushki, about 150 kilometres west of Quetta on Wednesday," he said.
An explosion also damaged a portion of the Dera Ghazi Khan-Kashmor rail line near DG Khan on Thursday, suspending rail traffic, Geo news channel reported. Unidentified men had planted a bomb a kilometre away from the Kot Chatha Railway Station near DG Khan, which went off in the evening. Railways Police, Punjab Police and a bomb disposal squad rushed to the scene, the report said, adding that no train was passing by at the time of the explosion. DG Khan District Police Officer Salman Chaudhry told Geo that the terrorists would be arrested soon. Meanwhile, unidentified men blew up a PTCL microwave transmission tower at Ahmedwal near Nushki early on Thursday. The tower was situated close to the rail line. The blast severed communication links between Ahmedwal and the rest of the country. Separately, four homemade bombs exploded in Balochistan, damaging a wall and shattering windows but causing no injuries, police said on Thursday. The first bomb went off outside the home of a Railways Police official late on Wednesday in Quetta, damaging a wall and shattering windows of several homes, said Qazi Wahid, a senior police official.

Father of a convicted killer, Sheikh Omar, yesterday said he was in "high spirits" as his appeal resumed at a Pakistan court. Sheikh Omar has been sentenced to death for the kidnap and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. "I have met my son recently and he is in high spirits despite so many years in jail," Ahmed Saeed, father of British-born Sheikh Omar, said outside the Sindh High Court in the southern city of Karachi. Saeed, who lives in London and has traveled to Pakistan for the hearing, declined to speak further.
Omar was convicted and given the death penalty for his alleged involvement in the US journalist's death by an anti-terrorism court in June 2002. His appeal has been pending for over two years. Relatives of three other men appealing against life sentences linked to the Pearl case Salman Saqib, Sheikh Adil and Fahd Naseem also attended the hearing, and silently witnessed the court proceedings amid tight security. Sheikh Omar and his three fellow convicts were not in court. It was the second session of the hearing at Sindh High Court. The next is due today. Sheikh Omar's lawyer Abdul Waheed Katpar told reporters that his client was not guilty of the brutal killing.
"No, no! Certainly not!"
"I am trying to prove in the appeal that my client is innocent and was not involved in Pearl's kidnapping or murder," Katpar said. Pearl disappeared in Karachi on Jan. 23, 2002 while investigating militancy in Pakistan. A gruesome video showing his decapitation was delivered to the US Consulate in the city nearly a month later and it took police until May 2002 to find his body. "I argued that Omar's link with Pearl's murder was not proved in the video, which showed his slaying. No one knows who was the author of this video and this evidence can not be admissible," Katpar said.

hes just a kid afterall..every normal blood covered Muslim young man does a little choppen now and then.
I'd guess this is related to some minor Great Game going on with India at the moment...
Karachi's Crime Investigation Department (CID) and investigation police on Wednesday arrested six terrorists belonging to a group involved in bomb attacks on train tracks and communications installations and inciting sectarianism. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Sindh Inspector General Asad Jehangir Khan said that the CID and investigation police raided a house in Baloch Colony and arrested six terrorists. He said that the detainees were identified as Mazhar Bhatti alias Sarang, Syed Ghulam Asghar Shah alias Ali Raza Shah, Imran Lehgari, Fayyaz Janvari, Sanaullah Bhatti and Rafiq Leghari. Three of their accomplices had managed to escape during the raid, he added. Police confiscated a huge amount of explosives and weapons as well as anti-Pakistan literature from the terrorists. Khan said, "They are highly trained people and were supported by India's intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). The militants have confessed that two European and a Middle Eastern country were providing financial aid to them."

Russian authorities have killed five people and arrested four others suspected of aiding the hostage-taking attack on a school in southern Russia last fall that killed 330 people, prosecutors said Friday. Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel said in a statement that the arrested men were suspected of helping stage the attack in Beslan, where assailants held more than 1,000 hostages for nearly three days before the siege ended Sept. 3 in gunfire and explosions. Shepel said that five other suspects were killed while resisting arrest. The statement did not say when or where the raid took place.
