Remarks by the President and President Kim Dae-Jung of Republic of Korea in

Shanghai, People's Republic of China



2:03 P.M. (L)

PRESIDENT BUSH: I've been looking forward to yet another meeting with our
friend, the leader of South Korea. We had a good meeting in Washington, D.C.
Now we have a second meeting to discuss our common interests.

First, we'll spend a lot of time talking about the war against terror.
South Korea has been very firm in their support for the United States and the
people of the United States. The President was very quick to respond, and I
want to thank you, sir.

Secondly, I look forward to affirming our support for trade with South
Korea. We'll discuss the new round of trade negotiations. Thirdly, and as
importantly, we'll reaffirm our support for the President's Sunshine Policy

We appreciate his leadership on this very important issue and I have
looked forward to explaining to the President that we, after having reviewed
our policy, like I told him we would do

(11:25) US asks Syria to clamp down on PFLP



The United States has again asked Syria to clamp down on the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine, which is based in Damascus.

The radical Marxist terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the
assassination of cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi Wednesday morning in
Jerusalem.

The US asked Syria to adopt a consistent policy regarding terrorism, and not to
make a distinction between what it considers to be "good terrorism" and "bad
terrorism," the Beirut newspaper A-Safir reported.

Syria harbors 10 terrorist Palestinian organizations, including the PFLP,
Israel Radio reported.

Germany, 1938?

Germany, 1938?
Arlene Peck
19 October 2001

When the vehement anti-Semitic rhetoric began in the early days of Hitler, I
have often wondered at the reaction of the Jews, “Damn fools, why didn’t they
leave when they had the chance?” After all, the signs were clearly there to
see. As I grew older, I began to realize that only Israel was the haven for
every Jew around the world in case, G-d forbid, it happened again. Had the Jews
of Europe been able to flee the Nazis and go to a country that would have
accepted them, six million innocent people would have escaped the slaughter and
ovens of Germany.

Ah, but that was then, today is a different time and place. America is the
melting pot of the world. We’ve learned from our mistakes and history could
never repeat itself…or could it? Life changes in the blink of an eye. Not so
long ago, all we had to worry about in the United States was Madonna’s concert,
shark attacks and the crimes of Congressman Gary Condit. Now, the newspapers
and the entire news coverage is of Taliban, Taliban, Taliban. All they discuss
is the success of our modern technology over people with the IQ of an eggplant.
Their social skills are rooted in the ninth century. Even in the ninth century,
I believe, people lived in houses, while this group has settled under rocks and
in caves.

Yet, these same barbaric souls are crying out deploring the mistreatment of
their Palestinian brothers. Had they checked closely, they might have noticed
that, before Sept. 11th, about 150,000 of the Palestinian Arabs made a daily
trip into little Israel as part of the Israeli work force, a reality I’ve
always found almost mind-boggling considering the precedents of terrorist
behavior.

It’s no wonder the terrorist Bin Laden feels a kinship with Yasser Arafat and
has publicly embraced the Palestinian cause. Chairman Arafat has been the
father of modern terrorism for several decades. Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic
Jihad were weaned on the antics of Arafat. So, is it any wonder that Bin Laden
rushes to identify with the man who, a decade ago, closely aligned himself with
Saddam Hussein? However, this time the leader of the Palestinian Authority has
to be careful to tow the line and appear to be in a coalition with the West in
the new war on terrorism. It is a coalition that strongly depends on countries
like Saudi Arabia, which appear to be, despite their protests to the contrary,
closely aligned with the terrorists in terms of political and financial
support. Arafat, at the same time, in order not to anger his terrorist support
groups, must accede to their demands and not lose whatever support he still
has.

During all of this positioning between President Bush and Arafat, who is caught
in the middle? Why should Israel be responsible for opening the gates to allow
these workers/terrorists in to work in the Jewish homeland? Yet, if Israel
keeps these Arabs out of little Israel, they are considered to be strangling
the Palestinian work force. The human rights organizations are out in full
force deploring Israel for compromising the rights of the Arabs. However, those
human rights groups are conveniently blind to the fact that these same ‘rights’
are unheard of in any of the twenty-two Arab countries. Rather, in many of
those countries, the populace is murdered and mutilated daily.

Prime Minister Sharon is publicly rebuked for surgically hunting and executing
terrorist leaders who have aided and planned attacks on Israeli citizens. So
why is President Bush applauded when he says that we are in a war with
terrorists and we will find them and destroy them? His ratings rise when he
states that the United States will not, and with good reason, negotiate
or ‘make a deal’ with Bin Laden and his band of terrorists. So why is Israel
attacked for not wanting to negotiate with terrorists or their governmental
supporters until all acts of terrorism stop? As of this writing, there have
been over one hundred suicide attacks within Israel since the signing of the
horrific Oslo Accords. Arafat is Israel’s Bin Laden, so why must Israel be
forced to sit down and make a deal while under fire?

I hear the anti-Semitic discussions on the radio about Israel being at fault
for everything that has happened. The talk shows are full of rhetoric of how
the United States must change their preferential policy towards Israel.
President Bush, and now Tony Blair, only exacerbate the situation when they
publicly state the need for a Palestinian state carved out of the Jewish State
of Israel. I wonder if they have given any thought, considering the past
history of the PLO, what would be on the horizon with this Palestinian state.
The first thing that state would probably do, considering Arafat’s close ties
with Saddam Hussein, would be to align itself closely with Iraq. We speak about
routing out terrorists, yet this Palestinian state would become a prime
training ground for Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. What influence would be
given in the Middle East to Russia and China, once they would have a platform
beside the only democracy in the Middle East? The current Arafat regime is
totally corrupt. It stands to reason that this territory would continue to be
closely allied with the narco-terrorists in the area and serve as a springboard
for their activities.

We would do best to consider all the major intelligence information that Israel
can provide about the terrorists and how to find and handle them. Instead, Bush
seems bent on keeping Israel out of the coalition against terrorism so not as
to offend the true terrorist states such as Iraq, Iran and Syria. I don’t
understand the logic, but, somehow, Israel being attacked by Scud missiles from
Iraq and suicide bombers from Gaza, Ramallah and Hebron is not cause for
retaliation. That would ‘upset’ the coalition. It’s OK for the United States to
bomb and hunt those that offend us, but not for Israel.

What does it take for those who believe that Islamic fundamentalist terrorism
will just go away to realize that violence has always been their method of
operation? Other than Turkey, all of the Islamic regimes have achieved and
maintained their power, not through ballots, but through bullets. I don’t think
that the Arab states truly care about their brothers as much as they are
unified in the hatred of the ‘Jews’.

There are lessons to be learned from 1938. Unlike our brothers then, we do have
a place to go today. History probably won’t repeat itself, but it could. For
the sake of every Jew around the world, we cannot let Israel be sacrificed to
appease the Arabs, the United States, or anybody.

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2001 – Ground forces, including Army
Rangers, operating under U.S. Central Command struck two
terrorist sites inside Afghanistan Oct. 19, the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed.

DoD officials said two soldiers were killed in a Blackhawk
helicopter accident in Pakistan. Their names have not been
released.

Air Force Gen. Richard Myers said during a Pentagon
briefing that the troops struck and destroyed an airfield
in southern Afghanistan and a Taliban command and control
center near Kandahar.

"U.S. forces were able to deploy, maneuver and operate
inside Afghanistan without significant interference from
Taliban forces," Myers said, adding that the troops did
encounter "light resistance."

Myers showed video clips of special forces troops to
Pentagon reporters. The video clips showed servicemen
packing individual bags, loading onto transport aircraft
and later jumping out of those aircraft for an airborne
assault inside Afghanistan.

The video was taken at night with night-vision equipment,
Myers explained. He noted that the service members found
and destroyed a small weapons cache at the airfield.

Myers refused to disclose how many troops were involved or
any more details of how they got into or out of
Afghanistan, saying only that "they accomplished their
objective." Part of the forces' mission was to collect
intelligence, he said.

"One of the things I simply can't do is talk about any of
the tactics, techniques and procedures that we used beyond
what you've seen on that tape," Myers said in response to
reporters pressing for more details. "If I were to divulge
that, then the next time we conduct an operation somewhere
in this world people would have an understanding of how we
operate."

Myers dismissed outright Taliban claims that they shot down
the helicopter in which two soldiers died. "I think it's
pretty well established the Taliban lie," he said. "Any
claims they shot this helicopter down are absolutely
false."

He said the crash is classified as an "aircraft mishap" and
is currently being investigated. He speculated the crash
may have resulted from reduced visibility from landing in
large amounts of flying dust at night. But, "it's going to
be up to the mishap investigation board to tell us
finally," he said.

The chairman expressed his sympathy for the families of the
two soldiers killed. "They, and all who are participating
in Operation Enduring Freedom, are heroes," Myers said.
"They put their lives on the line on behalf of freedom and
on behalf of America. And they do it each and every day."

President Bush, speaking in China where he is attending the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, said, "I want to
assure the loved ones that the soldiers died in a cause
that is just and right, and that we will prevail.

"These soldiers will not have died in vain," he said.

Myers also said five others were injured in the night's
missions – three on the helicopter that crashed in
Pakistan, and two others during the airborne landing. He
said none of the service members had life-threatening
injuries. Defense officials didn't give any other details
about the condition or the identities of those injured.

Meanwhile, air operations continued as well. Roughly 100
strike aircraft hit 15 planned targets, including anti-
aircraft artillery sites, ammunition and vehicle storage
depots and military training facilities. Four C-17 flights
dropped 68,000 humanitarian ration packs as well.

Myers had words of high praise for all the troops involved
in these operations. "The credibility of … any of the
senior leadership in the services rests really with the
professionalism and the way our young forces members
conduct themselves day in and day out," he said. "They have
never let us down."

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman

For Immediate Release October 21, 2001

INTERVIEW

Secretary Of State Colin L. Powell
On CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer

October 21, 2001
(Aired 12:15 p.m. EDT)

MR. BLITZER: Mr. Secretary, thanks for joining us, and let's get right
to the issue at hand. This is now entering week three of the US-led
military campaign, a new phase over the weekend, ground troops, special
operations forces. The American public is asking: How much longer is
this going to take?

SECRETARY POWELL: Until the mission is accomplished. I think the
President has made it clear from the start, and Secretary Rumsfeld has
made it clear from the start, that we shouldn't be expecting this to be
over immediately; that it is a difficult campaign going after
entrenched individuals, and we'll stick with it until the mission has
been accomplished.

There are some constraints that are coming in front of us, in the form
of winter arriving in about a month, which might change the tempo of
our operations. But we also are noticing that the Northern Alliance,
which we are supporting, has become more aggressive in their actions up
north and moving toward Kabul in the very near future. And so let's
hope the campaign comes to an end soon, but the most important thing to
remember is we will pursue it until our mission has been accomplished.

MR. BLITZER: Are you encouraging the Northern Alliance forces, the
anti-Taliban forces in the north, to go in and take Kabul?

SECRETARY POWELL: It's a subject of discussion. We are very
interested in seeing them take the town in the north, Mazer-e-Sharif,
and I am quite confident that they want to at least invest Kabul.
Whether they actually go into Kabul or not or whether that's the best
thing to do or not, remains to be seen. It is an issue that is under
continuing discussion.

MR. BLITZER: That is because the Pakistanis are nervous about the
Northern Alliance, with which they don't have a good relationship,
taking the lead in overthrowing the Taliban regime?

SECRETARY POWELL: No, there are others who wonder whether or not it
would be the best thing for a group, however effective it might be,
that really only represents 15 percent or thereabouts of the overall
population actually going into the capital. Would that just
crystallize opposition elsewhere? Even the Northern Alliance
recognizes this problem, and they have been rather candid in discussing
it with us as to whether it makes the best sense or not for them to go
into the city.

MR. BLITZER: There were suggestions, some say, that you were saying
that earlier in the week that perhaps so-called moderate elements of
the Taliban could be part of some new regime that could replace the
current Taliban regime. Are there moderate elements of the Taliban?

SECRETARY POWELL: I'm not sure that's quite what I said, but I would
have to check my transcript. I was with President Musharraf of
Pakistan, who did talk about moderate elements of the Taliban. My
position and the United States position is rather clear: There is no
place for any element of current Taliban leadership in a new
Afghanistan.

But at the same time, there are many people within the Taliban movement
in a leadership position who have not been active and who may well want
to become part of a new Afghanistan. And unless you are planning to
ethnically cleanse them all or ship them off to other countries, they
are going to be there and they will have to be accommodated in what we
hope will be a new arrangement that represents all of the people of
Afghanistan. But there can be no place in a new regime for the current
leaders of the Taliban regime.

For Immediate Release
October 24, 2001
As Delivered

Remarks by
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell
Before the House Committee on International Relations

October 24, 2001
Washington, D.C.

2:10 P.M. EDT

SECRETARY POWELL: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for
your opening remarks and, Mr. Lantos, I thank you for your kind remarks
as well. I have a long statement for the record that I would present
for the record, Mr. Chairman, and it covers a number of the things that
we have been doing since the 11th of September to prepare for this
campaign. But I would just like to shorten all of that with a brief
opening statement, so you can get right to your questions.

THE CHAIRMAN: Without objection, the full statement will be made a
part of the record. And I hope, Mr. Secretary, you notice for the
first time in my political career, we have real back benchers here.
(Laughter.)

SECRETARY POWELL: I notice members are double-decked in a way I have
never seen before. (Laughter.)

THE CHAIRMAN: Please proceed.

SECRETARY POWELL: Mr. Chairman, let me congratulate you and the
members of the Committee for this hearing today, to show that the
people's House is at work, the People's representatives are at work,
the American government is solid and at work. We are cautious, we are
taking necessary precautions. But we will not be frightened, we will
not be afraid to do the business that the people have sent us all here
to do. And I can assure you that is also the attitude within the
Administration and especially the attitude within your State
Department.

I have been traveling around a bit lately, India, Pakistan, Shanghai,
and a number of other places, and I can also report to you that the men
and women of the Department of State are hard at work, serving under
rather arduous circumstances these days, with the same kind of threats
that we see here on Capitol Hill and other parts of town. And I think
I just need to report to you that you should be proud of the great job
that your diplomats in action are doing for the American people.

Mr. Chairman, I would also like to thank this Committee and, frankly,
the entire Congress for the support that you have provided to the
President's efforts since the 11th of September. It means a great deal
to us. And, not only that, it sends a signal to the world that we are
unified. We are unified under President Bush's leadership. We are
unified to pursue those who are responsible for the tragic events of
September 11th. That day is seared into all of our souls, it is a day
we will never forget.

But we came out of that day with a deep resolve, to make sure that
those who are responsible for that day will pay for it, will be brought
to justice or, as the President said, will have justice brought to
them.

To that end, the President has undertaken a campaign to go after them.
It is a campaign that has many dimensions to it, financial attacks, law
enforcement attacks, intelligence attacks, military attacks. It is a
campaign that is being waged not only by the United States but by a
broad international coalition that has come together. And the reason
this coalition has come together so quickly and so successfully is that
everybody who has joined this coalition realizes that what happened in
the United States on the 11th of September and especially what happened
in New York was not just an attack against America, was not just an
attack against New York, it was an attack against civilization. It was
an attack against the world community. Some 80 nations lost citizens
in the World Trade Center, and all of those nations have joined us in
the counter-attack, the campaign to go after those responsible.

But the President understood right away, within 24 hours, that it could
not just be a campaign against the perpetrators who are clearly the al-
Qaida organization led by Usama bin Laden. It had to be against all
forms of terrorism. It had to be a broad-based campaign that brought
all of the members of the international community together once and for
all to go after this scourge that exists on the face of the earth, this
scourge that is targeted against civilization, this scourge that is
targeted against the democratic way of life, the democratic way of
doing things.

As Mr. Lantos said, it has nothing to do with Iraqi sanctions, it has
nothing to do with our presence in the Persian Gulf. We are there to
defend Muslims, to defend Muslims from other Muslims. So our purpose
there is noble, is an attack against who we are, our value systems, our
belief in the dignity of the individual, our belief in democracy, our
belief in the free enterprise system

The “Bin Laden Principle”
Yoram Schweitzer
ICT Researcher



Over the last two years, Osama Bin Laden and his “Islamic Front” have suffered
some serious setbacks; members of Bin Laden’s terror group, “Al-Qaidah,”
composed of ideological mercenaries, have been arrested all over the world, as
have operatives of other groups and terror cells affiliated with him. Most of
the plots of these groups have been foiled by the local security services, with
the help of extensive international cooperation and the would-be perpetrators
sentenced to long prison terms.

The elaborate details revealed in some of the highly-profile trials—
particularly those in New York and Los Angles—have laid bare the way in which
the “Islamic Network” operates. What has been revealed is the underlying
operating principle of Bin Laden’s international Islamic Front, according to
which terrorists are imported and exported to and from Afghanistan—a principle
of “push and pull,” or “initiate and promote,” on the one hand, and “attract
and absorb” on the other.

Initiate and impel
This approach encompasses the terrorist activity initiated by the headquarters
of Al-Qaidah in Afghanistan. Bin Laden’s highest command apparatus, in charge
of directing Al-Qaidah’s activity, is also responsible for the planning,
training and launching its terror squads to carry out attacks. The two
simultaneous attacks in Kenya and Tanzania 3 years ago (August 98’) are an
illuminating example of this principle.
As was revealed by the testimony of members of the cell that carried out the
attacks on trial in New York, the idea of an attack in Nairobi was initiated by
the Headquarters of Al-Qaidah in Afghanistan. Some members of the group were
sent to Kenya to make a first reconnaissance tour and returned to Afghanistan
with their findings. The information was personally reviewed by Bin Laden and
the operation was initiated. Members were ordered to establish an
infrastructure there, to marry local women and to assimilate into the country,
in order to prepare a local infrastructure. They further collected information
on potential targets, rented houses, purchased materials and equipment. At the
appropriate stage in the operation, Headquarters sent the professionals to
supervise the last-minute preparations. Usually, the commander of the operation
lives apart from the other members of the squad, as do the demolition expert,
and any suicide bomber or bombers.

Each of al-Qaidah’s showcase terror attacks is supervised by a senior
operational commander, who is the only one who knows all the details of the
operation and the identity of all participants. This is a necessary component
of the compartmentalization. The same basic pattern was revealed in the attack
on the USS Cole in October, 2000—an attack which was supervised by Al-Qaidah
from Afghanistan.

The USS Cole affair
The suicide attack on the U.S. destroyer was directed and supervised by one of
Al-Qaidah’s senior professional operatives in Afghanistan. This man, who was in
charge of the preparations for the attack from around mid 1999, goes by a
number of aliases, including Muhammad el Nashiri, Al Mohammad al Kharezi,.and
Abd el-Rahman Hussein Zaafani. The local infrastructure in Yemen was built with
the assistance of a Yemenite national named al-Jamal al-Badawi. Badawi served
as a pivotal member of the Yemenite cell [New York Times, 10/12/00], and
admitted to having been trained in Afghanistan in ‘97, where he swore
allegiance to Bin Laden. [Newsweek, 19/03/01]

Badawi, together with Al Zaafani made all the operational arrangements: renting
apartments to be used for surveillance, and purchasing the boat that was to
carry the explosives to the target. The operational cell was comprised of from
6 to 8 conspirators and assistants. They were assisted by local Yemenite
nationals, among them, apparently, some government officials. The two suicide
bombers—believed to have been Saudi nationals of Yemenite origin—apparently
came to Yemen from abroad only a few days before the attacks. [Washington Post,
14/11/00].

Zaafani, the commander and supervisor of the terror cell, is believed to have
been the demolition expert who prepared the boat-bomb. The original operation
was planned for the beginning of January 2000 and was aimed at hitting the USS
Sullivan.[AP Aden 11/11/00] However, due to a miscalculation of the weight of
the explosive charge, the boat sank when the explosive charge was put on board.
This delayed the operation for 10 months, so that it was eventually carried out
against the USS Cole, which arrived at Aden port for a short layover on October
2000.

The attack caused 17 fatalities and an estimated $100 million in damage
[Reuters 10.11.00]. This very professional attack bore all the hallmarks of Bin
Laden’s Al-Qaidah. Among the traits characteristic of the organization’s
operations are:

A relatively long time spent in preparations
Thorough planning
The operation depends on local infrastructure built by a local figure trained
in Afghanistan.
The attack is carried out under the supervision of an expert from the
Headquarters in Afghanistan, who personally oversees the operation
The attack is aimed at causing maximum casualties and damage.
The attack uses one or more suicide bombers.
No one ever claims direct responsibility for the attack; instead cover names
are used to preserve the operation’s “deniability.” Thus, bin Laden and his
hosts in Afghanistan can disassociate themselves from the attack.

Attract and Incorporate
Al-Qaidah’s second approach to terrorist operations abroad owes it success to
the aura possessed by Bin Laden among many Muslim radicals all over the world.
They look toward Afghanistan as the “Mecca” of Islamic revolutionaries. Muslim
youngsters from Western countries, from Asia and, of course, from Muslim
countries are attracted to Madrasas (schools of religious studying) in Pakistan
and in Afghanistan. Here they are selected by al-Qaidah “talent scouts” and
sent for training in Bin Laden’s camps.
In some cases individuals who were previously involved in terror activity in
their countries of origin travel to Afghanistan to further their training,
under the inspiration and with the assistance of the “Islamic Front”. It is no
surprise, then, to find such individuals returning to their own countries as a
kind of vanguard of Islamic terrorism.

Examples for this type of activity are the operations that were intercepted in
Jordan in December 1999 and in Israel in June 2000. In these two cases, Islamic
radicals from Jordan and Israel were attracted to the revolutionary life in
Afghanistan. While undergoing instruction at bin Laden’s training camps, there
and were introduced to al-Qaidah’s Islamic circles. After being indoctrinated
and trained, they were sent back to carry out their violent activities in their
own time and by their own means, but equipped with better skills and with open
lines of communications to the headquarters in Afghanistan, and to local
headquarters of the Islamic Front.

Ahmed Ressam and the Millenium bomb plot
An example of this “attraction and absorption” principle is the case of Ahmed
Ressam, 34 year-old Algerian national. Ressam was apprehended by U.S. Custom
officers on 14 December 1999, while attempting to cross the border from
Vancouver, British Colombia to Seattle. In his possessions was found about 50
kg of explosive materials and some improvised detonators. Ressam was accused of
planning a terror
